[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

"Then let's take our leave." Amphitrite stood beside Poseidon and said to Hades.

Hades nodded slightly. Although he was a little cold, everyone could tell that he was in a good mood.

"Just you?" Poseidon looked behind Hades, wondering that Hades was the only one.

"What's wrong?" Hades raised his eyebrows, unmoved by Poseidon's question.

Poseidon shrugged, and he took Amphitrite's shoulders: "It's nothing, just asking, then let's go." Amphitrite had a physical problem some time ago, although there was no problem in the subsequent examination. What they found, but it always made Poseidon feel uneasy. Since Zeus is gone and there is no problem with Tartarus, they should leave quickly.

Amphitrite leaned on Poseidon's chest, with a happy smile on her lips.

Poseidon only brought Amphitrite with him, and he didn't need to work hard to leave at this moment. Instead, he left directly from the lake that Melos often visited. From here, he can connect to his sea area, which is very convenient.

After Hades sent Poseidon away, he turned and left.

On the other side, Melos was sending off his mother and sister.

"Once this incident broke out, the underworld was completely closed to Olympus." Melos held Demeter's hand, "Go back to Olympus, and you must be careful."

Demeter nodded and stroked Meros' hair affectionately: "I am happiest to see you and Persephone safe. Although the underworld has been closed to Olympus now, don't take it lightly. " She held up Melos' hand, looked at the bracelet on it, and sighed softly, nothing is absolute in this world, Zeus is so precious to his lovers, isn't Hera still capable of finding them out one by one?If Olympus really wants to mess around, there is nothing he can do. "It is said that your divine power that belongs to Olympus has been sealed. It is Hades who has considered it carefully and will not make it difficult for you to move forward."

Melos smiled slightly.

"I think it was dangerous to send you here, but you are safe." She said, turning and stroking Persephone's head, "Only my daughter is left."

"Mother." Persephone has experienced so many things, and she is no longer the innocent girl she was back then. She has already understood a lot of things, which makes Demeter both sad and grateful, "I'm fine, I feel good."

"No." Demeter pressed his right hand on his collarbone with a firm expression, "My daughter and son are entitled to happiness."

Melos saw Demeter's movement sharply, but there was nothing near Demeter's collarbone, but that movement seemed to be subconsciously pressing something.

Before he could think about it, Demeter had already turned Persephone into a vine and put it in her scepter.

"My child." She hugged Melos, "You must be careful in everything." She kissed Melos on the forehead, her hands trembling, not because of the sadness of the upcoming separation, but because she left Olympus for a long time. resulting in consequences.

"Mother." Melos held her hand. His mother, whose body has reached its limit, but still stayed until today for him and his sister, "Go back quickly." He used the scepter at Demeter's feet The ground knocked, and a force lifted Demeter up.

In the case that the underworld has been sealed, the owner needs to open the channel himself.

Demeter nodded, and finally kissed Meros on the forehead, and then disappeared into the underworld as a ray of light.

In less than a moment, she returned to Olympus. In order to send Persephone away smoothly, she released her power, and the power belonging to the goddess of harvest enveloped the palace. out of beautiful flowers.

At the same time, a ray of light shot straight into the sky from her palace, and Persephone was sent away without anyone noticing.

At this point, Demeter was always able to breathe a sigh of relief. While she was relaxing, the vines around her feet entangled her again.

A "travel" in the underworld made her quite tired, but knowing that her son was fine and her daughter was sent away with her own eyes, a stone in her heart fell down. Even though she was a little tired at this time, she was still in a relaxed mood.

But after all, she has stayed in the underworld for too long, and she needs to rest for a while.

The vines surrounded her again, pulling her down slowly. Unlike the last time, Demeter had a sweet smile on her lips this time.

When Aphrodite and Apollo, who noticed Demeter's return, rushed over, they couldn't find anyone.

Demeter had already fallen asleep, the plants that had bloomed had withered again, and the entire palace was so decayed that there was no trace of vitality.

Apollo didn't give up. Now Demeter is the only person who can contact the underworld. Zeus has been busy dealing with the inexplicably extra heart recently. Hera's face is never sunny. The person Apollo can find And only Demeter.

"At least," he roared, "at least let me know she's okay." He didn't ask for anything, even if Daphne didn't go back to Olympus with him, but at least let him know that she was okay, at least... let him Knowing that she broke free from the bottom of the river.

Apollo stood at the door of the palace in despair, looking wearily at the sky of Olympus, a drop of crystal faintly flashed across the corner of his eyes.

As for Aphrodite, she pursed her lips and looked at the ruined palace for a while, then at Apollo, and finally turned and left.

Adonis was just left in the underworld, the flames did not harm Adonis, and it was good to stay there for the Queen of the Underworld to take care of, at least Ares would not attack Adonis.

Thinking of this, she was not in a hurry to contact Demeter. Apollo seemed to be in a bad mood. At this juncture, it was better for her to leave this place to him.

Compared with the ups and downs of Olympus, after sending away the Neptune couple and the gods of Olympus, Melos breathed a sigh of relief.

The underworld has returned to its former tranquility, and even the faint cries of the undead make people feel so missed.

Melos stood on the edge of the River Styx, where Daphne was pulled into the bottom of the river.

As the queen of the underworld, he can see many undead at the bottom of the river through the underworld, and Daphne is one of them.

She was not like those weeping ghosts, who opened their mouths and wept hysterically, but lay quietly at the bottom of the river, looking as if they were asleep, with a peaceful and peaceful face.

Melos looked at the Sleeping Beauty at the bottom of the river, sighed and shook his head.

Someone behind him slowly approached and hugged him from behind.

He knew who the other party was without looking back, Melos smiled slightly, relaxed his body and leaned back.

Hades only needed a glance to know who he was looking at, and he said softly, "She doesn't want to come up."

"I can see it." Melos is no longer that young man who knows nothing about everything in the underworld. At this time, he is very clear about everything in the underworld. Except for his lack of strength, he is a well-deserved leader of the underworld. Another master.

He was very clear about Daphne's situation.

People who are dragged into the bottom of the river by the dead souls at the bottom of the river will more or less feel unwilling or resentful, and it is precisely because of this unwillingness or resentment that it becomes their shackles, and the stronger this emotion is , the more they cannot escape from it.

But Daphne is different. Daphne chose to die by herself. She had nothing to ask for except her feelings for Apollo. Death was her own choice. She didn’t regret it. Even if she was pulled into the bottom of the river, she never showed negative feelings mood.

This kind of her can leave the bottom of the river by herself at any time, but she chooses to stay at the bottom of the river by herself and doesn't want to come up.

Melos had some vague guesses about her thoughts, and he just sighed lightly about it.

"By the way, you disconnected the connection between the underworld and Olympus, so what about those dead souls?" It is not a good thing that the dead souls cannot find their way to the underworld. When the dead souls gather in the human world, it will cause unnecessary trouble. turmoil.

"Thanatos will take care of this matter." Hardy paused and asked, "Have you finished dealing with Zeus's affairs?"

Hades refers to the false Persephone who gave birth to the child of Zeus.

Melos didn't expect it to give birth to Zeus's child: "It didn't exist long after it gave birth to a child."

I always felt that it was the power of Zeus that caused it to last until the child was formed, otherwise the child would not have dissipated completely as soon as it was born.

Hades nodded, and put his hand on Melos' lower abdomen, rubbing slowly.

"What's wrong?" Melos noticed that something was wrong with him, and asked with his head turned sideways.

"I'm thinking," the man's voice was low and sweet, and whenever he whispered in Melos' ear, Melos' ears would turn red involuntarily, and this time was no exception, but what the man said next made him involuntarily She was stunned, "Why don't we get a child too."

Suddenly, Melos stiffened.

"Us?" he asked in disbelief.

Hades chuckled, "What do you think?"

"We..." Melos felt that his mouth was dry, and it was difficult to speak for a while, "How can..."

He is a man, how to give Hades a baby.

"How do you think Athena came here?"

Melos twitched the corner of his mouth.

Athena was originally the child of Zeus and Metis. Because it was predicted that the son of Metis might overthrow Zeus, Zeus swallowed Metis into his stomach. Zeus, who had a terrible headache in the future, opened his head and jumped out of today's Athens. Na.

In other words, most people believe that Athena was born of Zeus...

Could it be that Hades was planning to swallow him too and then break open any part of himself and take out a child?

Melos felt that he was going to despair of the reproduction system of this world.
