[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

Melos has been in a trance for the past few days.

Ever since Hades mentioned the word child, his mind has been full of this word.

But he knew that these gods were not paranoid about the issue of offspring, at least not like in his world, where parents attached great importance to the succession of the family line. He was with Hades, so he didn't have to worry about their having no offspring.

But what he didn't think of before, what he didn't think about, now, once he mentions it, he will be very concerned about it, and even this period of time has been lingering.

And Hades also noticed that something was wrong with him, so one day when the two of them were alone, he casually asked what Melos was thinking recently, and why he always seemed so absent-minded.

At that time, Melos was thinking wildly, and he didn't think too much when he heard what Hades said, and blurted out suddenly: "Will you swallow me and give birth to a child by yourself?"

He didn't realize it until the words came out of his mouth, and it was too late to regret it.

He watched Hades put away the original indifference on his face, and changed to a heavy and serious expression, Melos wished he could find a hole to get in.

Could he knock Hades unconscious and tell him it was just a dream when he woke up?

Just as he was thinking wildly and wanting to make amends, Hades had already picked him up and put him on the bed. The term "day prostitution" does not exist in the underworld. As long as Hades thinks about it, all time is night .

Because of this, Melos spent a long, long night until he was determined to rot the question of "how Hades plans to have a child" in his heart.

"If I can, I really want to swallow you." This is the only sentence Melos remembers from that night, and every time he thinks about it, he shudders.

After the underworld regained its original calm, everything returned to its original state. The dead souls who came to the underworld every day were still being judged in the hall, and Thanatos used some method to lure these dead souls to the underworld without Hermes' help. Not known to Melos.

Adonis still lives in the Elysee. Aphrodite's departure made his life much easier. However, the plant god was originally close to plants, and naturally yearned for the sun. After death, he was not used to the environment of the underworld. Thankfully It is because most of the plants in the underworld grow in Elysee, and Adonis likes them very much, but it is a pity that he has no original divine power, otherwise he would want to change some of the poor conditions in the underworld.

Maybe it was because of Aphrodite, Melos remembered this god he didn't have much impression of before, he took time to meet Adonis once, but he just stood in the distance, Adonis didn't notice him.

As the rumored character who fell in love with the queen of the underworld at first sight and who would not hesitate to compete with the goddess of love and beauty for his existence, Adonis undoubtedly has the capital. He is indeed extremely beautiful. It can be said that he is a perfect existence, just looking at it from a distance, Melos can understand why Aphrodite is obsessed with each other.

It's a pity that he is not good at this.

Melos raised his eyebrows and turned away from Elysee.

Still his Hades is better.Melos was thinking in his heart, but he didn't forget to ask Akarali to remember to take good care of Adonis.

Aphrodite asked the "Queen of the Underworld" to take care of Adonis using her mother's favor as an intervention point, so Melos also took care of this, and before Aphrodite lost interest in Adonis, he would not Let Adonis have something to do.

"Your Highness." As soon as he walked out of Elysee, Shakano Qiman appeared in front of him.

"Huh?" Melos stopped and looked at him.

"There is something that requires you to come forward."

"Oh?" Remembering that Hades told himself not long ago that he was going out for a while, it seems that Hades is not here, so Shakanochman came to look for him.

Thinking of this, he walked towards the main hall.

In the main hall, a beautiful woman knelt on the ground, looked up at the throne on the stairs, and didn't speak when she heard the footsteps behind her, but was a little dazed.

"After coming here, it shows that her past is blank." Thanatos told Melos, "But people close to her know what happened to her during her lifetime, but her soul has just stepped into the underworld. Everything is not recorded."

Melos frowned slightly. If the underworld cannot record her life, it means that she cannot stay in the underworld, because she is not even the most basic wandering soul, so she can only return to the human world, but she does already dead.

Melos took his place and looked at the girl below, feeling a little helpless in his heart.

"Thanatos." Melos turned his head and asked Thanatos who was standing beside him, "Who is she?"

But at this time, I only heard the girl below say: "Who is it?"

Melos raised his eyebrows. When the girl spoke, he could indeed feel the resentment emanating from her.

"Your Highness, she is Echo." Thanatos leaned over to Melos' ear and whispered, "Because she offended Queen Hera, she can only repeat what others said now."

"So she's full of hatred?" It's really inconvenient to have to repeat what others say for a lifetime, but because of this reason, can the underworld protect her and support her in revenge because of her anger?

"No." Thanatos shook his head, "Because..." At this moment, the door of the main hall was suddenly pushed open, and a strange wind blew in. Melos narrowed his eyes slightly. After the wind stopped, a woman appeared in their sight.

After seeing many beautiful women or goddesses in this world, when he suddenly saw an unattractive woman with a coiled snake on her head, Melos had to admit that he was taken aback.

For a moment he even wondered who sent Medusa in.

But after hearing what Thanatos said, he realized that this was not the Medusa that everyone was afraid of.

"Nemesis." Thanatos frowned, surprised at the other party's arrival.

Although Nemesis is already a person from the underworld, he has been active in the human world, and being able to attract her here shows that Echo's anger is enough to startle her.

Melos looked sideways at Thanatos.

There are not many people who can change Thanatos' face. Melos has never seen this person in front of him, but he knows from this person's aura that she is not an ordinary person.

And Melos kept in mind a truth, in this world, the weirder the person, the more he should not be underestimated.

But what surprised Melos was that the other party didn't look at him after he came in, but directly raised the girl's chin with his hands, staring at her with a pair of eyes.

The girl should be afraid of the other person's appearance, but she can't speak, so she can only open her mouth, but can't make a sound.

"You hate him, don't you?" Nemesis asked in a low voice.

I don't know if it's because I can only repeat other people's rhetoric or if this is her inner thoughts, she said: "Hate."

"I haven't seen complaints like yours for a long time." She said, and then brought Echo to her side, and saluted Meros scribbled to show that she did not ignore him, and then took and Echo went out.

Melos didn't stop her, just let her lead the people away.

Echo's situation is very strange. She should be in this situation because she was too resentful and she died innocently. If she doesn't untie her heart knot, she will remain in this state forever, not belonging to the underworld. It does not belong to the human world either, and will dissipate sooner or later.

"It's been a long time since Nemesis came to pick someone up in person," Thanatos said.

"Let's see what she's going to do." Since he dared to break in, he was naturally qualified to intervene in this matter. Melos couldn't remember who the other party was. Although he had read related myths, he only regarded it as Judging from the story, it is impossible for him to remember everything clearly.

Melos told Akarali a few words, but he didn't take this matter to heart again. Not long after Hades came back, he told Hades about it.

It stands to reason that he doesn't need to discuss everything with Hades, but this has become his habit. At first, it was because he wanted Hades to give guidance on what he did, because At that time, he was not used to everything here, but later, it became a habit between two people.

Hades is not good at words, and Melos will tell him what he has dealt with. At first, Hades will say a few words, and later until Melos is handy, Hades will basically listen to him. Give him a kiss for encouragement.

But today is a bit special. After Melos finished speaking, Hades frowned and remained silent for a long time.

Melos was a little strange: "What's wrong?"

Could it be that he felt that there was something wrong with the most normal things?

Hades hugged Melos in his arms without saying a word, his chin resting on his shoulder habitually.

Melos patted his hand on his lower abdomen - since the child's remarks, Melos was very uncomfortable with Hades putting his hand on his lower abdomen - then grabbed it and played with his fingers: " What's the matter?"

Hades said: "Echo's soul cannot last forever."

Melos frowned: "But she can't be reincarnated at all in her current appearance."

"Whoever Nemesis takes away, she will take care of herself." Hades kissed his shoulder.

"You..." Melos trembled all over. He didn't know if it was his illusion. He always felt that since talking about the child, Hades became... always seemed to want to turn him to the bed.

Melos was dazed by the kiss, and once again he thought of the fact that Hades was planning to swallow him, which he guessed before, which made him feel very worried.

And Hades kissed him from his shoulder to his chest, looking at the position of his heart, his eyes changed a lot.

After a long time, he evoked a faint smile, left Melos' chest, turned to kiss his lips, and pulled him to sink together...
