To be king [Greek mythology]

When carrying a heavy and dangerous burden, Zeus has no fear in his heart.

--Compared to the emptiness and bewilderment before, he is looking forward to this kind of life that is watched and expected by everyone.

What's more, once you succeed, you will be above ten thousand people if you reach the top.

In the end, Zeus succeeded. Not only did he succeed, but he was also fortunate enough to obtain the most honorable position in the world.

Zeus couldn't be more satisfied with the result.

Until today, after countless years, he is still proud of his decision to overturn Cronus' notice without hesitation.

But he never wanted to hear that someone else might pull him from that position.

This is intolerable for any king.

Zeus stood in the center of Gaia's temple with a cold expression, tilted his head to look at the world outside the window, and held the rod of thunder tightly in his hand.

This is his world.

No matter who the peeping person is, it is unforgivable!

Hades.

Hades, the king of Hades, dragged away Thanadus, who had been watched by Hypnos very closely recently, and took a nap in Elysee.

Elysee is the paradise of Hades, the only place in Hades that can be illuminated by sunlight.

Those who live in Elysee day and night, besides the human undead who have done great good deeds before their lifetime and agree to stay in the Netherland to enjoy enough reincarnation, there are also fairies and elves born from Elysee.

They were carefree in the Élysée, where nothing was lacking and nothing happened to cause them anxiety.

Hades has a gloomy personality, but he can also feel a little joy and peace in Elysee.

Unlike those human undead who naturally fear the Lord of Hades, the fairies and elves born in Elysee are much closer to Hades who created Elysee.

They surrounded Hades, but they were close and not noisy, quietly listening to the peaceful and peaceful notes played by the god of death.

The luthier used by the lord of the underworld—the god of death Thanadus played the harp, feeling a little relieved that he had finally escaped from the hands of his brother who had taken some wrong medicine recently.

Thanks to [REDACTED] His Majesty Pluto for his understanding and understanding.

This is what Hera saw when she rushed into Elysee with her skirt in her hand.

The Queen of Heaven who rushed in with anger, coldness and impatience, seemed to be infected the moment she saw her stepping in here, and walked in quietly with her steps lightened.

Everything that happens in Hades cannot escape the eyes of Hades.

Pluto, who was resting, opened his eyes and seemed not very interested.

The noble Pluto raised his chin and raised his hand slightly. The sound of the god of death's zither stopped abruptly. The fairies and elves who were intoxicated by the sound of the zither woke up and looked at Hades and then at Hera. Finally, under the signal of Thanadus, he followed him and left here.

Elysee is so big, except for the small part occupied by Pluto, most of them have fun in other places.

"It's rare for you to come, Hera." The lord of Hades lacked interest. He looked at Hera, who had a straight back and nothing in common with Hades, paused slightly, and half-closed his eyes and said, "What happened?" ?”

"Hades, do you know that something is going to happen?" Hera threw away even the cover, she looked at Hades, "Prometheus said something was going to happen."

Pluto's movements froze for a moment, and a wrinkle formed between his flat brows.

He was still leaning on the soft chair casually, but he finally lifted his spirits, "What did he say?"

"He said there was no need to fear Zeus any more," Hera said.

Everyone can understand what this sentence means.

Why is there no need to fear Zeus?

Because Zeus will lose what he relies on now.

The lord of Hades fell silent. Fruits and wine were placed on the extremely simple and roughly polished flat stones beside him.

Hades reached out for a glass of wine, took a sip, and said, "Just listen to him."

Hera took a breath.

She didn't make a mistake this time, Hades knew it as expected--and I'm afraid she knew a lot.

"I don't want to be implicated by Zeus, Hades." Hera looked at Hades, "According to what you mean, Zeus is real..."

The lord of Hades looked at his sister, and finally his eyes fell on the glass of wine in his hand.

Hera was shocked by Hades' reaction and her heart was cold.

She never thought that there would be a day when Zeus would be pulled down from that position, because Zeus was different from the two god-kings who aroused public anger before, he did not let the world complain, although he would punish him for offending him human beings, but that is quite a matter of course in the eyes of the gods.

In fact, humans in this era are much happier than those in the previous two generations.

"Are you planning to leave Zeus?" Hades asked.

His Majesty Pluto felt that Hera could communicate with Themis about the divine life.

He believed that Themis, who had this experience, would help Hera get out of the shadow of divorcing Zeus soon.

"I don't understand." Hera pursed her lips tightly, "How could this be...?"

The Lord of Hades raised his eyelids, looked at Hera for a while, then lowered his eyes, and turned the wine glass in his hand.

His Majesty Pluto was silent for a few moments, and finally let go under Hera's burning gaze.

"The prosperity must decline, it is destined." He said.

Chapter 60

fate.

As soon as these four words came out, Hera was at a loss for words.

The word fate, even the gods, cannot be easily touched.

Only the three Moira sisters, who are in charge of weaving fate, can play with the thread of fate. The other gods—even the five creation gods or the king of gods—are secretive about fate.

Everyone wants to have a good relationship with the Moira sisters, but there are very few who can catch the eyes of these three sisters.

Prometheus counts as one, Hypnos counts as one, and the others cannot be counted.

The benefits of being on good terms with the Moira sisters are obvious.

Hera hesitated to speak, but in the end she could only lower her eyes and remain silent.

The answer Hades gave her was too vague, and Hera wanted to know more, but didn't know how to speak.

The replacement of the status of the king of gods is related to too many gods and secrets. This is not a question of how much Hades knows, but a question that he cannot say even if he knows everything.

She didn't want to embarrass Hades, even if she wanted to know what Prometheus was referring to, she didn't want her brother to embarrass him.

Hades is not Zeus, he is much better than Zeus.

His Majesty Pluto glanced at Hera who was silent with eyes downcast and lips pursed, thought for a while, then put the glass full of fine wine back on the stone table, and after a moment of silence, he finally let go and said, "You are staying in Netherland. for a while."

Hera was stunned for a moment, and joy instantly spread on her gloomy face.

It was a beautiful smile, and since Zeus started cheating, it rarely appeared on Hera's face.

And her status and image as a queen also did not allow her to show such a groggy smile and joy in an undignified way.

Hera is well aware of her changes, but it is inevitable. She has been able to foresee such a future since she decided to marry Zeus despite the advice of the two sisters, Hestia and Demeter. .

But she doesn't regret it.

Except for Zeus, no one can stand at the top of the gods for so long like her.

You have to pay for what you get, and you lose your freedom and joy. Hera never feels that the status and vanity value of these things are not equal.

She has always seen clearly that she wants to save face, so she will not easily compromise with Zeus.

Hera looked at Hades, just like when she was not married to Zeus, she always liked to follow Hades and Poseidon with her two sisters like three little tails.

Hades looked at Hera like this, not showing it on the face, but felt quite happy in his heart.

As if she suddenly thought of something, Hera showed hesitation. After thinking for a while, she finally asked with concern: "Is there any problem?"

Hera has never been stupid, otherwise it would be impossible to fight Zeus for so long without being kicked out of the position of Queen of Heaven.

Of course she knew what Hades meant by telling him to stay.

The reason why Hades was able to know the secrets that Prometheus referred to was not what he himself learned from the rules-Cronus and Rhea never passed on their divine power of foreknowledge.

To tell her the secret is not something Hades can decide.

And in this dark but vast underworld, Tartarus, who has transformed into an abyss cage, and Nix, the goddess of the night, who has a sense of existence every day, is higher than Hades in terms of status.

Hera guessed that the news probably came from them.

"I don't know if there is any problem until I ask." Hades said, he waved his hand, and several maids came from a distance.

Hades looked up at Hera.

Hera pursed her lips, but finally the desire for secrets prevailed.

She turned and followed the maid and left the Elysee to a vacant temple.

The lord of Hades sank into a soft chair, watched Hera turn around, closed his eyes, his brows were full of sleepiness and fatigue.

After a long time, Hades, who was dressed in a solemn and deep black robe, stood up, turned and walked in the completely opposite direction to Hera.

That is deep in the underworld, a place where no undead can reach.

There are many gods who were condemned by the king of gods and monsters who were suppressed by the evil side.

It was a void and empty darkness.

The name of this darkness is Tartarus.

Except for the temples of Pluto and Queen of Pluto and God of Sleep and Death, most of the temples of other gods are made of the same model.
