[Greek mythology] Siren

Seeing Hades' speechless look, Tartarus laughed loudly: "You should be glad that it wasn't Nyx who got involved, you haven't seen Nyx's methods, if she really gets involved, you will Knowing that Gaia’s methods are actually mild.”

So is it possible that they still have to thank Gaia for instigating the flames?

At this time, a fire suddenly appeared not far away. Although it was only for a moment, it disappeared quickly, but the fire still illuminated the entire underworld, and a huge howling sound shook the entire underworld.

Tartarus looked at the flames with interest: "She really found them. I thought she was just an excuse to visit her son."

Hades didn't answer. He felt that the whole underworld seemed to be shaking after the whistling sound. Because he was worried about Xavius, he turned around and ran back without even saying hello.

"What an impatient child." Tartarus smiled with his hands folded, and he didn't seem to mind that Hades left in such a hurry. "It's not calm enough, it needs experience." After finishing speaking, he He yawned and disappeared in place.

Hades followed the original path while observing the movement around him. The movement just now caused the whole underworld to vibrate. The strange whistling sound seemed to come from the underworld, but it could be heard very loudly. In the distance, the ground was still shaking. It seemed that something huge was going to crawl out of the dark ground in the next moment. He turned back along the Styx River, and was horrified to see these rivers constantly churning, as if they were caught in a fire. Burned and boiled.

And he guessed right, just as he was rushing towards Xavis, the ground suddenly cracked, and black mist continued to emerge from the ground. He stopped and walked away frowning. Go to the side of the cracked earth, and then slowly look down.

You can't see the bottom of the crack, and you can only see some colors that are darker than this dark space, but there is something faintly stirring in that blackness, and the speed is very fast. When Hades feels danger, he will get out of the way That's right, the thing crawling up from the ground almost hit his chest.

Creatures conceived by the darkness in the underworld rushed out through this ground fissure. Hades subconsciously sensed that something was wrong with this situation. After killing a few dark creatures rushing over with one hand, he thought for a while, Try to use strength to close the cracked ground.

Although it was successful, the creatures that crawled out of the ground before had already rushed towards him after seeing the danger. His action of closing the ground seemed to have angered them, and even Hades could feel the danger from the ground. The dangerous smell on them.

At this moment, the river suddenly swelled, and a big wave blew up. The river overflowed from the river bed, and instead of falling to the ground, it turned into a water rope and entangled the dark creature that almost hit Hades' fisted palm.

Those few creatures made sharp screams, which were very different from the heavy whistling before, and before they had time to struggle, they were dragged to the water by the water rope, and smashed into the water from a high altitude, causing a huge explosion on the river surface. Huge fluctuations, this time, the water in the river finally splashed out, and the barely growing grass around was corroded by the river water in an instant, turning into black ashes.

Xavius ​​emerged from the river, smiling at Hades and ticking his fingers.

Hades' eyes lit up: "Can you get out of there?"

Before Xavius ​​could not leave the fifth river no matter what, this time Hades was also worried that he would be in danger because he failed to leave in time. Now that Xavius ​​appeared here, it really gave him a new opportunity. surprise.

"There was some movement in the underworld just now, and there was something wrong there. When I realized something was wrong, I wanted to run, but I found that I could leave the river, but I still have to stay in the water for a while. It's just a human being. It's only a few months before the boundary day, don't worry." Savis took out his shell, and Hades sat on it knowingly.

"What happened just now?" Savis's lower body was immersed in the water, and his upper body/body was lying on the water surface. The water level was only a little distance from the opening of the shell. His upper body/body was lying in the soft shell, very The ground is comfortable—there is no shell meat in the shell, but a few pearls will be conceived at regular intervals, which will be crushed by Savis and sprinkled into the shell. Weiss has turned into a soft material with a very soft touch. Even if the shell becomes infinitely larger, the material inside will also become larger, making it very comfortable to lie on it anytime, anywhere.

"I wanted to go to the place I just visited last time. There seemed to be some new things in it, but then I met Gaia. She had found Tartarus. I heard their conversation, but Gaia didn't seem to I don’t want to participate in this matter as we guessed, but..." He told Xavius ​​the conversation between Gaia and Tartarus before, and then told the content of the conversation between himself and Tartarus. savis.

"There is one thing he said is true. We should thank Nix for not participating in it." Savis remembered the sharp gaze he felt through the river before. Although there was no hostility, it was just that the gaze with scrutiny always It made him feel very uncomfortable. Based on this kind of contact alone, he didn't have a good impression of Nyx. He felt that he would rather face Gaia's indifference than contact the cold Nyx.

"I suspect that she was responsible for the movement in the underworld before. Tartarus said that she once wanted to release the children who were locked up, but failed."

"I don't know if it was successful this time. There are changes in the underworld. If she has the ability, she can indeed use this movement to do what she wants to do." Savis pondered.

"What happened?" Hades felt a little belatedly, "Are you saying that she didn't make those creatures just now?"

"If she made it, you can't close the earth so easily, Hades, the reason why you were able to order the earth before was because of your godhead and power, just like I was able to order Styx because of me Besides, didn’t I tell you before that the river I’m in has changed so I can leave in a hurry?” Savis patted the shell, and saw the shell moving quickly, while he himself followed the shell next to.

"What's wrong over there?" Hades asked, and then reacted, "Your godhead is about to be reshaped, so the existence of that river is unnecessary?"

"Well, all its power is used to reshape my godhead. Now that my godhead is complete, there is no need for it to exist." Xavius ​​speeded up, while Hades sat on the shell and followed behind him.

But soon they stopped.

In front, where a river should have been flowing, it has disappeared at this moment. When the river was halfway through, it suddenly changed direction and fell straight down.

Hades left the shell and stepped into midair.

It is easy to see from mid-air that a big break appeared after half of the Styx River's flow, and all the river water drained straight to the break, forming a big waterfall, but even if the river was rolling, and because the break was straight and sloping, The speed of the river pouring was very fast, but no sound came out. Most importantly, even with Hades' strength, he couldn't see the bottom of the sinking fracture.

"What's going on here?" Hades looked down in surprise, "It looks like a bottomless abyss."

Logically speaking, even if the river disappeared, the land below should rise up automatically. He was really surprised why there was such a bottomless place.

"It's not surprising that the river disappeared after the reunion of the godheads was completed, but I didn't expect such a break to appear after the river disappeared, and it seemed that the crack of the earth was also affected by it." Savis said steadily Sitting quietly on top of the rushing water, "And haven't you noticed that such a rapid flow of water is still, but the water in the River Styx does not decrease at all."

The water of the Styx River is not controlled by gods. There is no such thing as water cycle here. It stands to reason that there is no natural cycle and no gods control the water source. If the water runs out, it should be gone. But now, although the water is rushing down, But except for the turbulent water flow near the fracture, the rest of the place is simply too stable.

"She said before that the appearance of this river would cause an abyss to appear in the underworld, but she didn't expect that the abyss would be formed in the end." They just thought that once Savis's godhead was condensed, the river would have no power, so it should be It will disappear, and then the ground below will fill up. Unexpectedly, it will sink in the end, and it will sink to a bottomless depth. "Hades, can you control the land below to rise up?"

If he joins forces with Hades, he doesn't know if he can succeed.

"Try it." Hades said and rushed down, and when Xavius ​​looked down, he saw a faint light under the darkness.

Hades descended faster and faster, and Xavius ​​couldn't even see the light in the end.

There was a faint rumbling sound from below, but after a while, it soon calmed down again.

Xavius ​​stared at the bottom without blinking. There was silence below. The river fell silently from the sky and fell into the abyss. There was no sound during the whole process. For a moment, he suspected that Hades had been imprisoned At the bottom of the underworld, who knows how deep it is, who knows what mysterious power is inside, and whether those creatures bred by darkness underneath will live in it...

Hades came back just when Xavis could barely sit still and wanted to find a way to follow. He rushed out from the darkness quickly, without any moisture or wounds on his body: "I can't detect it at all. How deep is it to get here, let alone move it up, there seems to be no bottom here."

Even if he used his strength to explore, he couldn't feel where the sunken ground went. No matter how he descended, he couldn't find the bottom. Even after he descended to a certain level, he could feel a sense of mystery. His strength was pulling him, as if intending to pull him down and not let him go back.

Terrified by the mysterious power, he quickly walked back, and it took a certain amount of time to get rid of the pressure.

"Strange..." The appearance of this abyss was not what they expected, and it has become a huge variable, "Let me try." His so-called try does not mean sinking into it like Hades, but It is to manipulate the flowing river water instead of his senses to explore what lies beneath the abyss.

But after a long time, those rivers still did not feed back the information from the ground, and lost the information not long after.

"This place is very weird." Savus told Hades about this, "What did you just experience down there, did you find anything strange?"

"Yes," Hades said, "it seems that there is some force pulling me down. If I am accidentally pulled down, I always feel that I will not be able to come back, so I did not continue."

Xavius ​​pulled Hades back into the shell, and after looking at the fracture for a long time, he suddenly said, "Hades, I have an idea, how about you help me with it?"

"kindness?"

"We wrote to Zeus and asked them to bring us the captured enemies. I want to see if the gods can be imprisoned here. If so, we can try to throw them in, so that Hestia and the others will It’s much easier.” He didn’t have much contact with Zeus, so he didn’t necessarily want to help him, but he cared about the three sisters of Hestia very much. He knew that Zeus had already asked the three sisters for help. Originally, goddesses rarely participated in the battles between male gods. Among them, but judging from what Hades told him, the three sisters have already participated.

"If they walked in by themselves, they might want to run away when they sensed something was wrong. If we imprisoned them and threw them in, they shouldn't have the ability to resist. Although we don't know when the news of this abyss will be heard, but in the future we will The two live in the underworld, and once something happens, we can know it in time and notify them quickly, so it will avoid a lot of trouble, won't it?" The more Savis said, the more he felt that this method was feasible, "I don't think Zeus may Can kill them all, after all, some people are not easy to die and have the ability to regenerate."

Appearance and beauty are just changes by the gods according to their own preferences. As long as they are happy, they can change their appearance at will. After all, there are only a few gods like Xavius ​​who cannot grow tall and cannot change their appearance due to lack of divine power. Xavius ​​lived a godly life again, and his divine power surged again, so the embarrassing situation will soon change.

"The last message Hestia gave me said that they gathered not far from Mount Odiers, where all the Titans were stationed, and they had excellent craftsmen making weapons for them. If they can't attack but want to leave, they will be attacked. Obviously, the other party doesn't want them to leave the vicinity of Mount Odiers. I passed through a message recently, but it was intercepted and failed to reach Hestia. "The message sent with Hades' divine power is powerful in itself, and the person who intercepted the message was seriously injured to death, and Hades soon knew that the message was intercepted.

He was originally planning to send another message to Hestia, and since Xavius ​​made this suggestion, he also sent this when he planned to send the message.

Savis lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "No, Hades, you go there yourself."

"No." Hades quickly turned his head and refused, "You can't leave this river yet."

"Hey, I'll wait for you to come back here. You can go and see for yourself. If you just send a message, who knows if you will be stopped. Once the message is known, they will make preparations in time. Although the message you sent has Powerful, but not all the Titans are incapable, otherwise they would not have left Olympus to fight against Zeus." Savis said, "Take my shell, so you won't be afraid I can't find you when I have something to do, huh?"

Hades had a stinky face, didn't refuse but didn't agree either.

Savis kissed him on the cheek, dumbfounded: "Go, I'll wait for you here."

After persuasion and persuasion, the stubborn Hades was finally sent away from the underworld.
