[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

No matter what method Akara used, he finally let Apollo leave, but Akarali told Melos that it was obvious that Apollo did not give up, and Melos waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter. It would be better if Luo left first.

After Apollo left, Akarali came to Hades from Melos again, leaned into his ear and told what had happened before.

Hades tightened his grip on the cup, and Persephone turned her head when she heard her brother's name.

"It's okay." Hades whispered to Akarali, "You ask Shakanochman to guard over there."

Akarali nodded, turned around and said something to Gakbel, Gakbel looked in Hermes' direction vaguely, turned around and grabbed Shakanochman and was about to leave.

Shakanochman was very dissatisfied with Gakbel's actions, but seeing the other party's serious expression and the presence of a group of people, he didn't say anything in the end.

And Zeus and others probably noticed it, but since the people in Hades planned to solve it themselves, no one planned to speak at this moment.

When Jakebel pulled him into the inner hall and walked inside, he asked, "What did you bring me here for?"

"Your Majesty has an order, let us guard His Majesty." Gakbel whispered in his ear.

His voice was heard only by Shakanochman, and he looked around to make sure no one else was around as he spoke.

Although Akarali said that Apollo has left, who knows if he will break in when everyone is not paying attention like his father?

Melos in the inner hall heard the sound outside and stood up hastily, but he was a little disappointed that the person who came was not Hades.

"Your Majesty asked us to come here to guard against other situations." Shakanochman said immediately when he saw Melos, and then he looked at Daphne who was sitting aside.

Daphne had recovered her calm at this moment, Melos didn't explain much about her existence, but instead asked her about Hades' situation.

"I guess it will take a while." Gakbel said, "With Mr. Thanatos over there, there won't be any big problems."

Melos nodded, sat on the chair, clenched his hands unconsciously.

Although Gakbel said so, he was still a little worried, probably because he couldn't be with Hades, which made him feel a little annoyed.

And at this moment, Tartarus shook again, and it was stronger than the last time.

Melos leaned on the table, silently waiting for the shaking to subside.

"Gakbel, go and watch over the river Styx, don't let the souls of the dead stir up trouble, there are many evil spirits near Tartarus, you also go and watch for me, there must be no problem at this time." Melos sneered He pursed his lips, he couldn't wait any longer, since Hades was held back by Zeus, he had to do something to stabilize the underworld.

Just because he couldn't leave here didn't mean he couldn't give orders.

"Send someone to the entrance of the underworld to watch. Whether someone is coming from Olympus or the sea, don't let them in easily, let them lead you into the hall in person, and don't let them treat the underworld like a garden. walk."

"Let people stare at Apollo. He didn't follow Zeus into the hall. He has already seen Daphne, so he will definitely do something."

"And if there is a way, clear the vicinity of Tartarus, and don't let other dead souls approach..."

Melos sat on the chair and issued orders in an orderly manner. There was not much he could do, but he had to do it.

"Let people keep an eye on the people brought by Zeus and Apollo, and don't stop them from going back when things are over, but if anyone wants to take the opportunity to do something, you are welcome."

In the inner hall, the order of Melos will be carried out through Gakbel and Shakanochman. After receiving the news, Akarali went to Hades and said a few words. Hades nodded to show that he knew.

No one noticed the change in Hades, only to report all this to Akarali in person, and realized that the original impatience of his Hades had completely disappeared.

Although no one noticed the change in Hades' mood, they did notice what Akarali had said to him.

But as long as Hades doesn't want people to know, no one will notice anything from his face.

"It's time." Hades looked outside, the shock just now was obviously stronger, and Zeus and others would not have missed it.

Several people nodded, got up and walked towards Tartarus.

Persephone put her hand on Hades's hand. The closer she was to Tartarus, the stronger the influence of the underworld would be on her. However, with the help of Hades Demeter, she did not reveal any flaws. .

Demeter didn't go with them, she frowned slightly looking in the direction of Tartarus.

Hermes didn't follow either, he stood behind Demeter.

The relationship between Demeter and Hermes can't be said to be good, but it can't be said to be bad either. At least after Persephone was taken to the underworld last time, Hermes was ordered to bring Persephone back.

At least Demeter was more willing to say hello to Hermes than anyone else.

But that's all there is to it.

Hermes didn't mind, nodded and left.

Not long after stepping out of the gate of the main hall, he met the distraught Apollo.

"I met Daphne." Apollo said in frustration.

Hermes raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.

Sure enough, Apollo didn't want Hermes to say anything at all, he just needed to describe his distress: "But she ran away as soon as she saw me, just like before." It seems to be in memory , Daphne will always leave him, she... can never like herself.

"Hermes, tell me, why did she die?" Apollo asked softly.

"What do you think?" Hermes asked without answering.

"I don't know... Maybe I know... She hates me..."

"Oh?"

"Forget it." Apollo stood up, "How do you understand..."

"Don't you understand?" Hermes walked to Apollo's side and asked suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Apollo looked at him in surprise.

"You said you loved Daphne, but after turning around, you pursued another person. Do you really know better than me?"

Apollo stared at him with wide eyes, as if he didn't understand what Hermes said.

In his opinion, this is really a normal thing, why would Hermes say that?

Hermes smiled, patted him on the shoulder, turned and left.

After a while, Tartarus shook three times, but it was not as strong as the previous two times.

Melos stood up and looked outside the door, but at this moment the door of the temple was closed, and there were only him, Daphne, and Shakanochman in the hall.

There was nothing to see from here, but he breathed a sigh of relief since he felt the vibrations of Tartarus subside.

Should be no problem, right?

"Shakanochman, go out and have a look." Melos said, "Tell the others not to relax their vigilance until Zeus and Poseidon leave."

"Yes."

Not long after Shakanochman went out, Hades and Persephone returned.

Melos jumped up from the chair almost immediately, and came to Hades in two or three strokes.

"How do you feel?" He took Hades' hand from Persephone, feeling a little flustered, probably because he had never seen Hades in such a situation.

"It's okay." Hades pulled him into his lap, buried his head in his chest, his voice was a little tired, but not bad, "You did a good job."

Melos was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Hades probably meant the instructions he gave to Shakanochman and others when he was in the inner temple.

"Is the matter with Tartarus settled? You don't look very good." Melos hesitated, and reached out to hug Hades' head so that he could be more comfortable on his own.

Demeter just smiled a little deeper for the actions of the two.

"Someone awakened the consciousness of Tartarus, just a little bit, but it is very dangerous." Tartarus was the first generation of gods, and later gradually turned into the abyss of the underworld. Sleeping in the underworld, and imprisoning Titan in Tartarus for so many years, he has never seen his sanity appear. Even Hades thinks that he probably won't wake up.

But this time when I went to strengthen the seal, I unexpectedly found that Tartarus seemed to respond to their power. That is to say, the consciousness of Tartarus, who had no consciousness, was awakening. Zeus and Poseidon responded to this. Very concerned, no one knows what will happen to the Titans held there if Tartarus wakes up.

Zeus needs to stay in the underworld temporarily for this reason. If the Titan runs out, it will be a big event, and it will be a disaster for the entire Olympus.

Poseidon was not enthusiastic about this, but Amphitrite persuaded him, and he stayed.

The situation of the three brothers was not very good due to the strengthening of the confinement. The awakening of Tartarus' consciousness made them check it carefully. It is probably because they have not used their power on such a large scale since the last Titan war, so Even Hades couldn't help showing fatigue.

Not long after, Hades, who was always full of energy, fell into a deep sleep.

Melos sat on a chair and looked at the few people he had recruited, his expression was very calm and indifferent.

"Hades needs to rest." Melos looked at Thanatos and the others, "So you can't be idle."

The three brothers tacitly adjusted themselves after the matter was over, but it does not mean that the people brought by Zeus and Poseidon will not take the opportunity to do something, so under such circumstances, since Hades needs to rest and Meros does not If it is convenient to come forward, then he can only give the order and let Thanatos and others execute it.

"Sister, I may need your help recently." Melos said to Persephone. "I need your help and my mother's."

Persephone nodded: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
