Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

Naji thought in her heart: "The words of the Queen of Hades are like needles. She knows that my mother of gods is more inclined to Olympus."

"If in the future, Mount Olympus really opposes the underworld, or even goes to war..."

Naji bit her lip, an idea emerged in her mind.

"I should leave the underworld and go to Olympus."

"After all, that is the highest and most holy place in the God Realm."

She looked at Bia, who was bowing his head and motionless, and sighed in her heart.

"What if she knew that Olympus and the Underworld, which she is equally loyal to, are actually so hostile to each other..."

"How will she choose?"

After the salute, Sticks and his party stood aside.

Then there was the sound of drifting water in the distance.

The Temple of Hades is located in the middle of the underworld, surrounded by dark and desolate land. There is no running water, but the gods are not surprised.

A river appeared in the sky of the underworld, carrying a small boat. The god stood on it silently, with his head lowered, and strands of white hair scattered on both sides of his thin cheeks.

The face of the god is old, and his harvest is as solid as firewood.

Wow...

The boat docked in front of the temple gate.

The god stepped off the boat and walked into the temple.

He stared at the king and queen in the darkness with fear, kneeling on the ground, his voice trembling and hoarse: "Humble boatman, Charon comes to pay homage to the great Pluto and Queen."

Then he crawled forward step by step.

Persephone raised her scepter and held it forward.

Charon held the tip of the Queen's scepter with both hands and kissed it gently.

He is the boatman of the underworld, Charon!

He is the first god that all souls see when they come to the underworld, and he is responsible for transporting all souls to the other side of the River Styx.

Persephone said nothing and withdrew her scepter, while Charon stood up and bowed his head, standing aside obediently.

"..." Thanatos stared at Charon.

Charon, like Thanatos and Hypnos, is also the bloodline of Nyx, the goddess of the night!

It's just that he has low divine power and no authority. He is foolishly loyal to Olympus and transports the dead across the river day and night.

He had seen too much sadness of the dead, and there was only heavy numbness in his eyes.

"If... that day comes." Thanatos looked at Charon, "Which side will he... be on?"

"Will he listen to the call of the blood of the night...or become the loyal dog of the Queen of the Underworld?"

In the silent Temple of Hades, people had different thoughts.

boom!

The door to the divine court was violently pushed open, and three more gods walked in.

Thanatos looked at the three gods and couldn't help but smile.

There was a male god walking at the front, with a handsome and hearty face, wearing a red war robe, and surrounded by thousands of undead spirits. His green eyes were burning, and there were a sword, a spear, and a shield floating behind him. A bow!

Carrying a huge transparent coffin on his shoulders, he stepped heavily into the temple and placed the coffin on the ground.

He knelt down on one knee, raised his head, and said with a loud divine voice: "I have seen the Mother of God and the Father of God. May the underworld be eternal!"

The only male god son of Hades and Hades, the son of Hades, Zagreos!

In the huge transparent coffin he was carrying, sleeping was a goddess, the daughter of Pluto and Queen of the Underworld, Macaria, the goddess of rest!

Macaria has fallen into eternal sleep since her birth. She is still alive, but she can only live forever in her dreams. She represents the peace after death for all living things.

No matter where the child of the underworld goes, she will carry this huge coffin with her sister Macaria forever.

"My powerful and kind son of God, please get up." Persephone had a smile on her face.

"Yes." Zagreos stood up, picked up the transparent coffin again, and stood aside.

Thanatos looked outside the temple.

Just now, a total of three gods came in.

Zagreos, the son of the underworld, and Macaria, the goddess of rest who sleeps eternally in the coffin.

One person remains.

Only then did she drift over.

She was like a ghost, with no lower body, her body appeared and disappeared, and she was surrounded by mist.

She wears a saffron veil on her head.

She floated around in the divine court, her divine voice was ethereal, "Great God King ~ Noble God Queen ~"

"Ha." Thanatos had no expression on his face, but he laughed deep in his heart. He couldn't help but look at Hades.

Hades said nothing.

This ghostly goddess is the daughter of the god of Hades and Queen Hades, the goddess of conspiracy and ghosts, Melinoe!

but!

There is a rumor circulating in the underworld, and almost everyone knows it: in fact, she was not born to the King of Hades and the Queen of Hades, but to the God King Zeus and the Queen of Hades, Persephone!

Her existence is proof of Persephone's disloyalty and the living embodiment of Pluto's shame!

Of course, this is just a rumor after all.

Did Persephone really have an affair with God-King Zeus? No living thing really knows.

Melinoe floated into the ranks of the gods.

There are many gods in the underworld, but all the important gods are here.

"This opportunity is rare." Thanatos looked at the gods in the field and involuntarily divided them into factions.

Hades: Hades, Queen Persephone, the three judges of the underworld, Charon, the boatman of the underworld, the three sons of Hades and the queen of the underworld: Zagreos, the son of the underworld, and Macaria, the goddess of rest, conspiracy and Melinoe, the ghost goddess.

There are nine of them in total, and they are the most powerful faction in the underworld.

Neutral system: Styx, the goddess of the river Styx, and her four sons of gods, five in total.

Bloodline of the Night: Himself and Hypnos, the God of Sleep. Although Charon, the boatman of the underworld, is the same, he has never shown that he is close to the blood of the night.

Persephone turned her head and looked at Hades: "My king, all the gods who are supposed to come are here. Are you going to start the underworld competition?"

Hades remained silent.

It was like this every time, but Persephone was always patient and she always waited a moment.

A moment later, Persephone's elegant divine voice filled the hall.

"Since Hades doesn't say a word, I'll be the one to decide."

"All the gods of the underworld have arrived."

Her beautiful eyes stared at the gods of the underworld, and the shadow of death shone on her face: "Then the competition in the underworld begins."

"The winner will receive the imperial priesthood."

"Then, let me announce the rules of this competition."

"There are four gods participating in this competition."

Persephone stared at the field: "I will appoint a player to fight."

"Styx, goddess of the river Styx, you will nominate a player to fight."

"Thanatos, God of Death, you will designate a player to fight."

"The last contestant is determined by the fighting between the creatures in the wilderness of the underworld."

Thanatos thought to himself: "Sure enough... I have a spot."

"Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, has two plans for this competition in the underworld."

"The first is to use the extremely precious reward of the Imperial Priesthood to let the creatures in the wilderness of the underworld kill each other and expand the control of the underworld over the underworld."

"Second, it is a distribution of benefits within Hades."

Persephone, Styx, and Thanatos, the three gods, exactly represent the three important factions in the underworld.

Who will they send to fight? ——Of course he is the son of God who has not yet been ordained to the priesthood.

Thanatos was silent for a moment.

"I do not have a Son of God. My brother, Hypnos, has three Sons of God. But they were just born and cannot fight at all."

"Styx, the goddess of the river Styx, has many outstanding sons of gods. Who will she send to fight?"

"As for Persephone herself, Queen of the Underworld - of course she will send Zagreos, the son of the underworld, to fight."

"Ha... So, the participating gods will compete with the Queen of the Underworld's favorite god, Zagreos, the son of the underworld."

Persephone's divine voice suddenly expanded, resounding throughout the underworld within a hundred thousand miles.

"Decide first who is the winner in the wilderness of the underworld and gets this precious entry."

"Let the fighting begin."
