[Greek Mythology] To bind a lover or not to break up

"Maybe he's just lost." Nix joked.

Hypnos smiled wryly: "Stop joking with me, how could he get lost so easily?"

This is of course a joke, Nix put down his smile and asked, "Then how do you think he disappeared?"

This is also what Hypnos finds strange.Thanatos seems to be very little in charge, but his ability is unquestionable.Similarly, it is impossible for him to be taken away casually and face the situation of disappearance.

"Let me help you find it." Nyx asked, "What was he going to do before?" With a general direction, it would be easier for him to find it.

"To Coos." Hypnos did not follow, but Thanatos understood the itinerary. "The king of Coos is named Sisyphus. The daughter of the river god was taken away by Zeus before. It was Sisyphus who exchanged news with a river. Zeus decided to end his life because he had revealed his secret. Thanatos went this time to bring back his dead soul."

"Sisyphus..." Nyx pondered for a moment, thoughtful.He felt that the name was a bit familiar, and it didn't seem like the kind of familiar story.So he should have heard the name by chance, but he didn't know what the situation was.

"You have a clue." Seeing this, Hypnos asked.

Nyx shook his head, but did not answer the question.Erebus watched him silently, thoughtfully.

The divine power of the Primordial God is extremely powerful. Even if Nyx is in the Far West, with a light sweep, the situation of Coles has already come into view.Just waiting for him to see the situation inside clearly, Nyx's expression became strange.

"Is there a problem?" Hypnos asked hastily.

"It's not a problem." Nix said, "It's a big problem."

This startled Hypnos, but Erebus, who also saw the scene of Coos, told him the truth, "Thanatos was captured, and he voluntarily."

"Arrested?" Hypnos repeated in doubt, and then was shocked, "Voluntary!"

"That's right, he was captured by a human being, and that human being is the king of Coos, Sisyphus." Only then did Nyx know why he felt the name was familiar, as it is said that the god of death was once captured by a human being. , that human being is Sisyphus.The point is that this story is not one of the ones he is familiar with, so Nyx didn't realize it for a while.

"Why did he get arrested voluntarily?" Hypnos thought the situation was funny, but indeed, Thanatos did this.

"I have to ask Thanatos himself." Nyx thought of the scene he saw, with a strange expression on his face.

Since Sisyphus became king, the Kingdom of Coos has developed extremely fast.He has superhuman wisdom and tough methods. Sisyphus is now in his prime, so the people of Coos believe that their country will become the most powerful country around under the leadership of Sisyphus.

In addition, there is another phenomenon in Koos, that is, the belief in gods is not as high as other countries.Perhaps because of the influence of the king, the gods are not so mysterious in their eyes, so the country of Koos is considered a rare country in this area that lacks faith.

Nyx was walking on the road holding a carved rose, which he asked Erebus to buy for him.

"This is just the beginning." Nyx was walking on the road, but the surrounding humans seemed to have not noticed him at all, as if they didn't even look at him. This was also Nyx's thinking, and he pointed at the walking crowd , Said, "Now it's just a country that doesn't have such a faithful belief in the gods. In the future, there will definitely be more and more countries like this." At that time, the gods who are obsessed with the power of faith will realize what is called the gap feel.

"Zeus is afraid of this Sisyphus," said Erebus.

"Of course." Nyx raised the corners of his mouth, "A human being who dares to disrespect even the god king, even affected the ethos of his entire country, how could Zeus not be afraid of such a human being?"

As the king of gods, Zeus still has this view of the overall situation, but unfortunately, Thanatos did not cooperate.

"He might as well deal with Sisyphus directly. Then Thanatos may not have so much trouble to bring back the other party's undead directly." Unfortunately, Zeus is still too confident, "I don't know where he came from. The self-confidence can mobilize the gods of the underworld to do things at will."

"But Thanatos really doesn't disclose any information to us." Nyx complained, "At least bring a message about his own safety, Hypnos has come to find me."

"Well, let him apologize," Erebus said.

He looked serious, and Nix couldn't help laughing, and said, "Then it's up to you to teach him a lesson." It was a lesson, but it was just a verbal joke, otherwise Nix wouldn't be here now Came out to find Thanatos.

In the palace of Coos, Sisyphus returned to his resting place. What awaited him was not his wife or others, but the god that the gods feared—the god of death.

The taciturn man sat in the palace, and only looked up with interest when he noticed Sisyphus coming.

"You're here." Death said so, and then moved his body, "It's really boring here."

Sisyphus stood in front of him, puzzled: "I'm very strange, why you were caught by me voluntarily." He could see that Thanatos did it on purpose, and there was a lot of power in this god, even if Sisyphus despises the gods, but it does not mean that he does not recognize reality.

"How was your life before?" Sisyphus asked.

"Sleep." Thanatos looked confused for a moment, and then said, "Escort the undead."

"Is that funny?" Sisyphus asked.And to him, it must be nothing more than half a catty.

"You're right." Thanatos nodded, "But you're very interesting."

"You are not the first human being who rebelled against the gods." Talking about the other party, Thanatos spoke more, "but the one with the brain."

Sisyphus asked, "Really?"

Thanatos nodded.

"Just because of this, you will be tied up by me voluntarily." Sisyphus felt that he could not understand the thoughts of this god.

Thanatos closed his eyes and suddenly laughed: "I want to know what you can do if I cooperate."

Sisyphus shook his head, then turned and left, completely forgetting that this was his resting place.

After he left, a voice came from the empty room: "So that's why you haven't contacted us."

Thanatos opened his eyes and asked, "Father?"

Nyx's figure appeared, accompanied by Erebus who was always there.

"Hupnos thought you were missing, so he ran to the temple to ask me to find you." Nyx teased, "You ended up playing around with others here."

"I'm sorry, father, it was my mistake." Thanatos was sincere and admitted his mistake, but he was not going to go back just because of appearance.

"Why did you take the initiative to be tied up?" Nyx was really surprised. Thanatos is not the kind of god who can be captured casually, let alone being tied up on his own initiative.

"He's interesting, as you've heard." Thanatos said this with a deadpan expression, looking as if he didn't want to share his story at all.

Nyx raised his eyebrows and said, "This is your freedom, as long as you are safe and well, but there is no way there is death in the world, so don't stay too long."

Thanatos nodded, it seemed that he really listened to what Nyx said.

In this case, Nyx has nothing to say, and after bidding farewell to Thanatos, he returned to the Far West.

Hypnos should be quite worried now, it's better to let him rest assured.

After they all left, Thanatos closed his eyes, and the room returned to silence.

Sisyphus was an interesting human being.No matter how powerful humans are, they are afraid of death, especially when they see Thanatos before death, their eyes will open wide, revealing unwillingness and bewilderment.

Thanatos has long been used to facing such a face, and the appearance of Sisyphus broke his unchanging life.

This is the first human being who tried to bind the god of death in vain.It is Thanatos' responsibility to be in charge of the death of human beings. Now that someone is challenging his responsibility, Thanatos naturally wants to see how much this human being can do.

So he obeyed Sisyphus's seductive words, stretched out his hands automatically, and was bound by him with chains.This chain is still provided by him.

It's funny to think about it, Thanatos raised the corner of his mouth.

Human beings seem to have changed a bit compared to before, at least they have become much more interesting.He was not interested in the kind of human beings who knelt on the ground at all times before.How could Thanatos be unhappy when a human being finally ended his mechanical life.

Nyx returned to the temple, finished talking about Sisyphus and Thanatos, and then looked at Hypnos.

"Why do you look at me like that?" Hypnos wondered.

"Listen to your opinion." Nyx said.

"I don't have any opinion." Hypnos shook his head. He has been very calm since just now, and he will say in a flat tone, "It's rare for a guy as boring as Thanatos to find something interesting. If so, I will definitely support it.”

After speaking, he became helpless and complained to Nix: "It's just father, his behavior of being quiet and suddenly making a big move really deserves a beating. You must teach him a lesson in the future."

"It's okay, Erebus said he would do it for me." Nyx finished speaking, shaking Erebus' wrist, "Isn't it?"

Erebus nodded slowly.

Hypnos felt a chill in his heart. He wanted to imitate humans and pray to Thanatos, but later found out that one of the gods who could fulfill his wish was not the one who wanted to teach Thanatos a lesson.

Thinking of this, Hypnos gloated a little.

Usually he is busy, and Thanatos rests. Now that he finally has the opportunity to let Thanatos suffer, he is quite looking forward to the future development.

"There may be some trouble after Hades." Nyx said.

"It's okay, His Majesty Pluto can bear it." Hypnos said casually.
