Seeing the legendary Styx, Roja heaved a sigh of relief. The previous atmosphere was too depressing, like walking forward in a small dark room, with no target in sight.
And then during the respite, Roja began to popularize science about the underworld for Athena.
"I remember that there are two rivers in the underworld. One is the big black river Agron, which is the river of pain. The other big river is called the Cocutus River. It is said that it was formed by the tears left by the people in hell. That's why wailing can often be heard by that river."
"Then this is the river of pain?" Athena looked at the black river curiously. "Is there anything to say when the river touches?"
"Theoretically, there is no problem. There is even a saying that the water of the River Styx will give people immortality." Roja stretched out his hand and used magic tricks to extract a part of the water of the River Styx, carefully sizing it up in front of his eyes. "But the river of pain is too fast, and it is easy to drag people into the river, and then they will never be reborn."
In the legend of Achilles, his mother soaked him in the River Styx to make him invulnerable, and she was afraid that he would be swept away by the River Styx, so she reached out and grabbed his ankle, so she left him Weakness became the cause of his death in the future.
After carefully analyzing the water of the Styx, Roja even licked it with his tongue, and finally confirmed that the water of the Styx does have the ability to make people invulnerable.
But this ability is essentially nothing more than turning people into creatures of the underworld.
Because of the existence of the underworld, the sword in the world cannot hurt the opponent.
This situation is very similar to the situation in Inuyasha, only Tianshengya, the knife of the underworld, can harm the underworld to snatch away the ghosts of the soul and save others.The rest of the swords, no matter how powerful they are, are helpless against those fragile little ghosts.
So this kind of invulnerability is very useful for fighting in the world, but it is actually useless for higher levels.
What's more, after becoming a creature of the underworld, you shouldn't belong to the human world, and the corresponding underworld will definitely send people to arrest you.
Achilles may be because his mother is the goddess of the sea, and he has greeted the underworld in advance. Any mortal who does this will only be sentenced to stealing the water of the Styx, and then sentenced to Tartarus for punishment.
"What shall we do next?" Athena looked at the Styx rushing in front of her, and asked after Roja finished her research.
"Wait a minute, there is a ferryman on the River Styx, let's wait for him to come and help us cross the river." He poured some water from the River Styx into the material bag, and Roja sat down next to Athena.
"Speaking of which, Athena, what do you think of this world?" Roja asked casually. "This would have been the future of our world if it wasn't for some of my reasons."
"The future...that's really a bad future." Athena rested her chin with her hand, looked into the distance, and said in a low voice.
"Just thinking about the future...Father God does such a bad thing, I have a kind of idea that it would be better to have no future." Athena subconsciously squeezed her fist, "If we defeat Kronos If it has become like this, then what is the point of us defeating him?"
"It's better to let Kronos change the planet again, so that at least we have fulfilled a little bit of the mother star's last wish."
For the sake of mankind, the Mechanics of Olympus rebelled against Kronos and refused to copy the mother planet.And now Olympus actually wants to kill all humans, only Prometheus is still helping humans.
Athena could not understand and did not want to understand.She doesn't care what the Mechanics of this world have experienced, she will never tolerate such behaviors that hurt humans.
"Well, there will be time for them to pay back." Roja stretched out his hand to hold Athena's clenched fist, and helped her stretch it out little by little.
"Speaking of which, what do you think of me? Athena?"
"Hey...?!" Athena, who was still immersed in her hostility to the gods of this world, was taken aback by the sudden question. "Excuse me, what does this... mean?"
"It means, Athena, what kind of existence do you think I am? Do you like me?"
Roja's straight ball made Athena tremble all over, she realized what Roja meant, and was extremely excited because of this.
She wanted to say loudly that she liked Roja, but for some reason she couldn't say it out loud, her face turned red in a hurry, and she even had the urge to want an adult.
Although it seems that she is very smart with a high rank, in fact, as a machine girl whose feelings are still developing, Athena is also a guy with low offense and low defense. Facing Roja's straightforward offensive, she has completely fallen into the trap. Passive.
Seeing Athena's flushed face, Roja showed a gentle smile.
"Speaking of which, I also met a woman who made my heart beat when I was out."
Recalling the past with Morgan again, Roja felt a sigh.At the beginning, he just saw that Morgan had bad intentions for him, so he wanted to do the opposite and give the other party a tragic ending.But as time gets along, he can't help but be attracted by the other party, but because of his arrogance and self-esteem, he is always unwilling to take the initiative to speak, which finally led to the relationship between the two.
It was also from then on that Roja deeply realized one thing, if he liked it, he would say it.
After being with Athena day and night for so long, he finally realized that he liked Athena.I like her outside, I like her inside, I like everything about her.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, Roja planned to have a showdown with Athena.
===============
Battle of the Titans (241) Lantern Beast War: [-] The Flute Resounds in the Underworld
Athena silently listened to what happened between Roja and Morgan.
How should I put it, when she heard that Roja once wanted to live with Morgan single-mindedly, she felt uncomfortable, but after hearing the final outcome of the two, she felt a wonderful sympathy.
And just when Athena was seriously thinking about Morgan, Roja asked her again.
"So, Athena, do you like me?"
"...Of course I like it." Athena replied in a low voice, and in this quiet place, it was enough for Roja to hear clearly.
"Then when did you start liking me?" Roja rarely saw Athena's shy side, and couldn't help but want to tease her.
"Probably...probably...when you used magic confidently in front of me?" Athena murmured softly, and in her mind, even though Roja was a rookie, he still said confidently. When Kronos can be defeated.
"Is it time to use magic?" This is an answer that Roja didn't expect at all, but it seems to be pretty good in a sense?
"But to be honest, I was shocked when I saw you for the first time." Roja recalled the first time he met Athena. "A beautiful woman suddenly walked out of my house. I almost thought I was in the wrong world."
"I was still thinking, why is Zeus so sissy? After all, you and Zeus are so similar in certain aspects and temperament." Especially when he was angry, Roja thought in his heart.
When she first came to this world, Athena's angry appearance was very similar to that of Zeus, especially the aura. Roja believed that Zeus had really come.
"..." Athena just blushed and said nothing, because she really couldn't say anything about this matter, at least not now.
The two gradually became quiet, neither of them spoke anymore but they held each other's hand, feeling the warmth of each other's hand.
I don't know how long it took, a figure appeared on the river in the distance, and gradually moved towards this side.
"I thought it was some lonely ghost who ran here, but it turned out to be two living people." The boatman leaned over and looked Roja and Athena up and down, then shook his head boredly, and turned around. The boat departs.
"I never carry people alive. Where do you go back and forth, or I will pick you up after you die. Of course, you have to have money."
"Wait a minute, Charon." Roja quickly stopped the other party. "You haven't carried a living person before just because you haven't seen a living person come over. How about I give you double the money and take us into the underworld?"
"Even if you pay ten times the money, I won't take you." However, Charon didn't intend to pay attention to Roja at all, and just swung his oars to leave here.
"It's really helpless, it seems that there is no trick." Roja sighed, then reached out and rummaged in the bag.
This move made Charon vigilant, but he didn't panic, he just stared at Roja and wanted to see what his unique move was.
As the son of the dark god Erebus (Erebus) and the night goddess Nyx (Nyx), although Charon is only a boatman, his strength is definitely not weak. No one has ever been able to force him to row a boat by force, even He Lacules also relied on the oracles of Athena and Hermes to allow him to enter the underworld.
And among them, the only exception is... Orpheus.
As a mortal, he was originally refused by Charon to board the boat, but when he played the music that can move everything, even the hard-hearted Charon was charmed by the music, and obediently rowed him into the underworld .
And Roja's trick is to imitate Orpheus and 'influence' Charon with music.
In Greek mythology, music is great, immortal and capable of transcending the boundaries between man and god.
The reason why Apollo is so respected is not because he is the god of light, but because he is the god of music, the greatest musician.
Theoretically speaking, if an ordinary person is good at musical instruments, or even more talented, then he will live a more nourishing life in the world of Greek mythology than a hero.
Because he doesn't need to fight monsters and thieves to be respected by everyone. The nymphs in the river will vie for your tryst, and even the goddess of Mount Olympus will be overwhelmed by your charm.
Roja originally didn't know any musical instruments, but when he was studying magic, he happened to encounter this kind of thing, so he learned a little about related musical instruments.
It was a golden flute with a tiger's head engraved on the mouthpiece, and the outlet below it was black.
Roja took the flute and stroked it carefully.
When he was young, he watched a cartoon called 'Magic Flute'.
In the beginning, he watched that cartoon only because The Adventures of Jackie Chan had just finished broadcasting, and then the painting style of The Adventures of Magic Flute was exactly the same as Adventures of Jackie Chan, which made him think it was the sequel of Adventures of Jackie Chan when he was still young.
Roja has almost forgotten the specific plot, but Roja still remembers the magic flute and the melody played by the magic flute, so when he saw the relevant exchange in the system, he directly changed it and studied it a little for a moment.
The magic flute has the ability to manipulate monsters and elements, and it seems to show different effects depending on the good and evil of the user.
But now, when Roja slowly blew the magic flute, the originally turbulent Styx seemed to have calmed down and began to listen to the sound.
Charon, who was originally full of vigilance, softened a lot, listening to Roja's performance fascinated.
The sound of the flute even traveled countless distances and floated in the underworld and hell.
The people who were suffering and howling in hell couldn't help but smile when they heard the sound of the flute, as if the guilt on their bodies had become much lighter.
The Titans who kept cursing Zeus also stopped their insults and listened carefully to the moving music. Even the hundred-armed giant who had been guarding the Titans could not help but put down the whip in his hand to punish the Titans, and carefully listened to the music. Experience this wonderful moment.
It can be said that because of the sound of Roja's flute, the originally cold and terrifying underworld seemed to be much warmer. Persephone, who was originally trapped in the room, opened the door for the first time after hearing the music and walked out of the room. Begin to discern where the music is coming from.
And the only one who is angry about this is probably Hades, the king of the underworld.
The Adventures of the Magic Flute, a super old animation, the melody is really a childhood memory.
There should be next chapter, I'm working hard
Battle of the Titans (242) Lantern Beast War: [-] Green Hat Pluto
Just when the whole underworld was attracted by the singing, Hades, the king of the underworld, smashed the table in front of him angrily.
As the king of the underworld, Hades is actually not doing well.
Although he is in charge of everything in the underworld in name, in fact he doesn't have much power in the underworld.
Persephone is in charge of ghost sacrifices, death and sleep carry corpses, and the three judges sent by Zeus to judge cases, and report directly to Zeus when encountering undetermined cases have nothing to do with him.
He is the king of ghosts, so he can only command ghosts.
But what do ghosts have to rule?
At the same time, as the king of the underworld, Hades is the most feared god by mortals, and because he is not a member of the Olympian gods, he will not be sacrificed even when celebrating for the gods.
Although the euphemistic name is that they will be his subjects after death, but it is just a nice word.
Therefore, usually in the underworld, what Hades does most often is to patrol the entire underworld, and then punish some ghosts, and listen to the other party's more wailing.
By the way, in the earliest mythology, Zeus once ruled the sky, the earth and the underworld. Later, Zeus in the underworld split into Hades, so Hades is also called "Zeus of the Underground".
Later, it was combined with other explanations. In ancient Greece, a man would snatch an adult girl from a group of girls as his bride to hold a wedding ceremony.The explanation of the seasons was added later.
So it was Zeus who first married Persephone.
In later myths, this passage was adapted into another story.
After marrying his daughter Persephone to Hades as his wife, Zeus still couldn't forget her, so he transformed into Hades, and with Persephone at the mouth of the Weeping River Cocytus (Cocytus) Combined, and thus conceived Melinoe.Melinoe is in charge of schemes and ghosts, often appearing in the form of ghosts, sometimes visible and sometimes hidden, sometimes dazzling in the dark, and attacking from the night.
That is to say, Hades and Persephone don’t even have any children except this Melinoe, so some people speculate that Hades doesn’t actually like Persephone, but Zeus forced him .
There is also a faint figure of Cupid, the God of love, in mythology.
And the reason for doing this is to divide the authority of his brother, the king of the underworld.
The true love of Hades is the maid Minta who was killed by Persephone.
Back to the present.
The green-capped Pluto was punishing a ghost for failing to salute him.He was enjoying the ghost's screams happily, but he didn't know where there was a flute sound.
Because of the sound of the flute, the screaming ghosts on the ground no longer felt pain, and even the execution jailer stopped the whip in his hand and listened carefully to the wonderful music from afar.
This made Hades very angry. He felt that his majesty and rights were being challenged, so he directly raised the scepter in his hand and fired a black thunderbolt, turning the ghost and jailer into ashes.
But such behavior did not make him feel comfortable, on the contrary, he thought the expressions on the two people's faces before they disappeared made him even more angry.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, finally, Hades couldn't bear it.He put on his helmet, picked up his sword, and rushed towards the end of the music.
He wanted to find the man who dared to play music in his underworld, and cast him into Tartarus, where he would be tortured forever.
============
Charon slowly brought the boat to the shore, and not far away, the gate of Hades was wide open to receive the ghosts.
At this time, Cerpalus, the watchdog of hell, was lying on the ground and guarding the place to prevent ghosts from sneaking out.
When it saw Roja and Athena two living people, it raised its three heads, and a deep roar rose from its throat, and the snake head on the tip of its tail screamed crazily.
At that time, Cerpalus did not attack Roja and Athena, because its mission was to keep the undead from leaving, not to prevent others from entering.
And just when Roja and Athena were about to enter the gate of the underworld, Charon suddenly stopped them.
"I don't know what you guys want to do when you enter the underworld, but I want to remind you." Charon put his thick oars on the ground, looked at Roja and said solemnly.
"The underworld is a very special place, where the king of the underworld is the absolute ruler. No matter what the slaves plan to do, don't provoke the king of the underworld, otherwise I will have to go to Tartarus to listen to your music next time."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Roja to answer, Charon pushed the oars stationed on the ground hard, and the boat quickly moved away from the shore and moved towards the distance.
"... You really are a dishonest person." Roja couldn't help but smile when he saw Charon's leaving figure, "Unfortunately, I'm here to trouble Pluto."
"Let's go, Athena, it's time to see what the gods of this world are like."
