[Greek mythology] Siren

But sometimes you say you have to be careful everywhere, and you really have to be on guard against the surrounding situation to ensure that you are not being calculated at all times, but it is not a simple matter.

When Xavius ​​and Hades didn't notice, in just a blink of an eye, the environment around them went dark.

Even forces like Hades and Xavius ​​couldn't see through this darkness.So Xavius ​​stopped and looked around: "Hades...huh?" He had to stop just after starting the beginning. Xavius ​​couldn't see the environment around him now, but the tactile sense in his hand Still with him, he moved his fingers to confirm that the hands they were holding tightly had not known when to let go, and Hades, who was supposed to be by his side, was nowhere to be found.

In other words, there are unknown forces blocking them.

There was darkness in front of my eyes, and no matter what method I used, I couldn't see through the deep blackness. Under such circumstances, it would be a foolish thing to continue walking.

Xavius ​​sat down slowly, not panicking in the dark.

Is the underworld obstructing outsiders, or is someone trying to attack them?

I don't know what happened to Hades.Xavius ​​tried to contact Hades, but it was a pity that he failed. He was surprised to find that the crying that could be faintly heard before had disappeared, and the entire underworld seemed to have quieted down with the "darkness". The wind blowing slowly disappeared, and there seemed to be only "darkness" around - darkness enough to suffocate people.

Xavius ​​lay down slowly, since he couldn't see anything with his eyes open, he simply closed his eyes and used his ears to pay attention to the surrounding situation.

Maybe anyone else would be unable to adapt to such an environment, but for Xavius ​​who often locked himself in a shell, although such an environment was a bit dangerous, there was really nothing to panic about.

What he needs to be concerned about right now is whether someone is deliberately separating him from Hades or whether the underworld subconsciously rejects them.

Is there any way to drive away the darkness in front of me?Xavius ​​thought slowly, and then tried to use his own power. After losing the power from the ocean, the source of his current power is the "blessing" that Uranus placed on him again. God, there is day and night in the sky, if it is darkness that covers him right now, then he should be able to try to "light up" it.

But the facts proved that he succeeded, a soft light emanated from the palm of his hand, slowly pushing away the stagnant black mist, it seemed that there were still gray things blocking his vision, but he could already see clearly environment.

It seems to be the underworld here, but it is very different from the underworld he just saw. It is obvious that he and Hades have walked a long way, and he stopped when the darkness suddenly appeared. He continued to walk, but he didn't know when he was standing next to the Styx again.

But if you look closely, this river is very different from the River Styx that the "ferryman" carried them through just now. The water in the River Styx is actually relatively clear, because he can clearly see the bottom of the river on the boat. However, due to the special situation in the underworld, the apparently "clear" river became black when viewed from the side, and the river in front of me reflected red luster from the river bed. After merging with the surrounding black, it becomes dark red.

Compared with the River Styx, it looks like the water source has been condensed into gel, and the flow is very slow.

There are some plants growing on this strange river, and some flowers even bloomed, but unfortunately, under the influence of "black", Savis couldn't see the original color of these plants at all, which led to him not recognizing them at all. Can't figure out what kind of plants those are.

The underworld has always been a place to accommodate the undead, appease or punish the dead. Although gods continue to live in this place, there has been no "ruler" in the underworld for so many years, so there should be no life in this place, but Savis was right, the plants on the river did have vitality.

He walked to the bank of the river, stared at those plants for a long time, and then slowly said: "Maybe you are willing to come out and meet me. After all, if I guessed correctly, you should have brought me here on purpose."

Ripples slowly appeared in the calm lake water, and the strange plants shook their leaves frantically, and the leaves slapped the river water, so that the ripples were interrupted by ripples, which were originally small movements, but gradually expanded, and finally caused the river water to spin into a circle. In the whirlpool, a girl walked out of the whirlpool and landed in front of Xavis.

With the appearance of the girl, the stagnant darkness just disappeared—no, it didn’t disappear, but part of it was pouring into her body, and the remaining part became a black sleeveless dress around her. After the blackness of the skirt disappeared, the surrounding area returned to the grayness it was before. Although it was hard to see the whole picture, at least one could see the surrounding scenery.

The girl who walked out of the water looks very beautiful, but her expressionless face makes people daunted. Just looking at those eyes makes people feel that she will dismantle you into small pieces and eat them slowly. Xavius ​​himself had the illusion that he had been pinched by the other party for a moment.

"You..." He was subconsciously wary of the other party, thinking that the other party could attack both of them without him and Hades noticing, so the strength would definitely not be any worse. If possible, he would like to ask Ask the other person why he brought him here, and try not to confront the other person, "You brought me here, didn't you."

"You are a special existence." The girl frowned slightly and walked towards Xavis, "Ever since I knew you, I really wanted to pull you here to see what's going on." Although she looked like a girl, But the voice sounded very mature, and there was a little curiosity in the tone. It seemed that she really pulled Savis here because of curiosity, "It was obviously conceived by the ocean, but the source of power is Uranus' Blessing', you should be a sea monster without godhood, but your life span is longer than any sea monster, and if I guessed correctly, your body should be able to accept the power of other gods. "

When she finished speaking, she had already come in front of Xavius, because Xaviz also looked like a boy, so the two were about the same height at the moment, and when they looked at each other, Xavius ​​discovered the girl's pupils Among them are the flowers on the river surface.

"You know my existence, but I don't know you yet." Although the other party showed no hostility, Savis still didn't dare to take it lightly, "Would you mind telling me your name?"

"I don't have a name." The girl shrugged and said, "Like you, I was born with a purpose, but unlike you, I was conceived by the river here, but no one gave me 'blessing' or' Curse', I've been born without a name."

"It shouldn't be... Whether it's a god, a fairy or an elf, it should have its own name after birth. Even if you don't, you can choose your own name."

"Do you see this darkness?" She pulled down her skirt, "If I should have a name, then my name should be 'Nyx', but unfortunately I can't use this name, so until now I no name."

Nyx, the goddess of the night born in Chaos, one of the terrifying gods with extremely powerful power, is one of the five creation gods like Gaia, the god of the earth, although she is not as good as Gaia in Austria. The influence of Lympus, but no one dares to underestimate her. If Gaia treats every god like her own children, then Nyx is not so gentle. It has the power to restrict the gods that Gaia does not have.

Xavius ​​was slightly surprised: "The existence of the underworld itself is the 'night' opposite to Olympus, why is there a 'night' born in the 'night'?"

"I don't know, that's why I brought you here." The girl crossed her arms and said, "I know you lack a godhead, and the reason you came to the underworld is to find a godhead, right, as long as you help me Do one thing, and I will help you get a godhead."

Xavius ​​frowned, and had to admit that the condition offered by the girl was very attractive, but...

"What do you need me to do? If it is a very dangerous thing, I may not be able to promise you." What if this person asks himself to find Nyx and kill her in order to get a name? With the blessing of Uranus, but Uranus himself is not enough to look at in front of Nyx, let alone himself, a sea monster with only a little bit of his power.

"This river is the fifth river born in the underworld." The girl pointed to the river beside them and said, "There should have been four rivers in the underworld, but after a coincidence, the fifth river is not available to everyone. This is a forbidden/forbidden river that should not exist. What I want you to do is to find a way to destroy this river. If you can do it, I will find a suitable godhead for you. .”

"If I remember correctly, you were born in this river." Savis looked at her in surprise, "The source of your strength is this river, if this river is destroyed by me, then It's time for you to die."

"It's not so exaggerated. I don't have a godhead and not much power. I have stayed in the underworld for so many years. If you can do it, I can help you prevent Cronus from entering here. Isn't the purpose of your coming to the underworld just to stop Chloe?" Has North found Tartarus?" She raised her chin proudly, "Tartaros just fell asleep not long ago, and he won't wake up in the short term. With my help, he can live in the underworld without disturbing him." What do you think about blocking Cronus's entry without the other gods?"

Savis didn't agree to her right away: "You bring Hades to me first, and I'll discuss it with him. He's stronger than me. If he agrees, the chances of destroying this river are higher than I thought. The chances of a solution are higher.”

The girl thought about it, probably she had checked Hades' situation before, and knew that Xavius ​​was not lying, so she nodded and agreed to Xavius' request.
