[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

The sea where Poseidon is not present is so calm that one cannot feel the flow of time.

The bottom of the sea is too far away from the sea surface, so that the sunlight can't reach the bottom of the sea. It's as dark as the underworld. However, the eyes of sea creatures and human eyes are different in structure. Human beings can't see everything here on the bottom of the sea, which doesn't mean the bottom of the sea Residents can't see it.

And Poseidon, probably out of a kind of comparison psychology, decorated the palace belonging to him under the sea magnificently, trying to look like the second Olympus.

And light is one of the indispensable elements.

In this palace, corals and pearls that emit beautiful light are everywhere, but Melos can be sure that no matter in his own world or in today's human world, there have never been pearls and corals that can emit light.

Many glowing creatures and decorations in this palace challenge the worldview of Meroth.

But after thinking about it later, maybe the sea king himself gave them such abilities for convenience. After all, as the sea king who rules one-third of the world, Poseidon has the ability to do so.

Makarya is not interested in pearls, but she likes coral very much. Sometimes she will turn into a fish and swim in the coral, and Melos doesn't care about her. He can see that Makaria is having a good time.

"Your Highness." Amphitrite stood beside Melos, looking back from Makaria to Melos, she asked softly, "Did something happen in the underworld?"

"Why do you ask that?" Melos didn't answer, but he didn't deny it either.

"There are some faint signs in the human world." Amphitrite stroked the coral around her with her hands, and Melos keenly noticed that the light on the corals touched by her would appear softer, but also brighter Some, "Many dead souls have nowhere to go after they die, they can't find the entrance to the underworld, and even some creatures on the bottom of the sea have the same situation."

Melos held his breath subconsciously—even though he didn't need air, he still expressed his surprise in this way.

Only then did he realize that after the underworld left this world, it would no longer be in contact with it. Now it is no longer as easy as before to come here from the underworld. Naturally, those dead souls will not go to the underworld after death, because there are no more Any way for them to go.

In this way, they can only stay here, wandering in the human world day after day, unless the two worlds are connected again, so that they can go to the underworld.

Or, as the queen of the underworld, he used his strength to open the passage between the two worlds and let them walk in.

But even if they walked into the underworld, there would be no chance of reincarnation.

The departure of the underworld has changed the law of reincarnation in this world, and entering the underworld after death can no longer give them any help.

Melos pursed his lips.

Hades would not have thought of this consequence, but Hades still did this at the beginning, so it can only prove that if the underworld does not exist independently from the human world and the god world, then there will be only one end in the near future.

That is, two spaces collide with each other, just like planets collide with each other, either they die together, or destroy one of them.

Judging from the past situation, most of the accidents will be in the underworld.

But Hades would not have imagined the consequences of the underworld leaving this world. He should have a perfect plan, but before he could tell Melos, Gaia took him away.

Amphitrite looked at Melos' expression, and knew that something must have happened, but after all, it was a matter of the underworld. If the other party didn't plan to say it, then she naturally couldn't continue asking.

After knowing that something was wrong in the human world, Melos has been very worried.

Akarali saw something was wrong with him: "Your Highness, what are you thinking?"

"The Queen of the Sea told me a very bad thing." Melos frowned slightly, he didn't know much about the past of the underworld, "Akarali, I remember one thing," he looked at Akarali, "You once Tell me, before the gods appeared, there was a so-called reincarnation in the underworld, but who does it affect?"

In this world, the so-called people are created by the gods. Then, before the gods appeared, who was the so-called "reincarnation" in the underworld? In the earliest days, no one discovered the existence of the underworld. So what kind of dead souls is the underworld running for?

Even the gods who came to the underworld in the early days failed to know why the underworld was born.

Thinking about it now, the so-called "before the gods appeared, probably refers to before Zeus became the lord of the gods, right?

"Your Highness, I don't know about this matter," Akarali said, "I just vaguely know that the original underworld is not just connected to this world."

Melos frowned, and quickly understood Akarali's words.

As a special existence, the underworld is not only connected to the world of Olympus, but also connected to other worlds many years ago, so the dead souls of other worlds will come to the underworld, but later the gods of Olympus Only gradually appeared, and then gradually affected the underworld, plus the relationship with Tartarus...

However, these things are just his guesses at the moment. If Hades never comes back, he will not know what is going on for a day.

"Amphitrite told me that Poseidon will come back soon, and we need to leave before Poseidon comes back." Melos said, if possible, he did not want to contact him.

It's just that sometimes the plan never catches up with the changes, and Poseidon is several days earlier than Amphitrite expected.

Melos, who had not received the news beforehand, collided with him.

"I thought you were entertaining Her Majesty the Queen of the Underworld, dear." Poseidon kissed Amphitrite's forehead, and then looked at Meros.

Apparently he had seen Meros in the Underworld, and had also seen Persephone.

"This should be the attendant by Persephone's side. Why are they here?" But even though he felt very strange about the appearance of Melos, he didn't suspect that there was something between him and his wife.

Melos had a wooden face and didn't speak.

And Poseidon noticed Macaria standing beside Meros.

Poseidon's abilities are stronger than Amphitrite's, so he can naturally see who Makaria is and whose child it is.

"Did you come here to take refuge?" He said jokingly.

He probably thought that the servant around the Queen of the Underworld was dishonest, and gave birth to a child with his elder brother, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Queen of the Underworld, so this poor attendant could only come to the sea area to seek shelter.

"He came because of Hades' order." Amphitrite hugged Poseidon's shoulders, and chuckled softly, "Hades probably thought he could find traces of Gaia here."

"Oh?" Poseidon raised his eyebrows lazily, "My brother would actually think of looking for Gaia." He seemed a little uncomfortable when he mentioned Gaia, his eyes kept looking towards Amphitrite, But Amphitrite didn't seem to notice his gaze, and seemed to be nonchalant on the surface, "What's the matter?"

Melos shook his head silently. Such a lie will be exposed at any time. You must know that if Poseidon, the younger brother, knows about Gaia, there is no reason why Hades, the elder brother, should not know about it. After all, both of them are far away. The ruling center of Olympus is located in different places. If only Zeus knows about it, it is possible that the two brothers are kept in the dark.

But unexpectedly, Poseidon nodded and said seriously: "If you want to find Gaia, no wonder he needs to send someone here."

Melos' heart skipped a beat.

He and Akarali exchanged a look.

Poseidon meant that he knew Gaia's whereabouts?

Amphitrite turned from his side in front of him, and Meros, who had his back to her, couldn't see her expression, but he could see Poseidon's stiff expression for a moment: "Oh? Your Majesty's That means, did you always know where Gaia is?" Amphitrite's voice sounded very normal, but for some reason, she always felt that her voice was a little weird.

Even Poseidon's face changed a little.

"Honey, you're overthinking." Poseidon laughed quickly, "It's not what you think, I just want to say that it's normal for Hades not to know Gaia's whereabouts, because he's been in the underworld for a long time. "

From the way Poseidon looked, it was clear that he knew all along—or vaguely knew where Gaia was.

Melos suddenly thought that the guy in front of him had a child with Gaia, no wonder Amphitrite's tone just now was very strange.

"Poseidon, do you know the whereabouts of Gaia?" But to Melos' surprise, even though Amphitrite seemed to be very concerned about the affairs between Poseidon and Gaia, she took Melos' favor. .

"Actually, Gaia was originally born from the earth. With her, there is this vast land. Similarly, it is also because of the earth that there is her. Therefore, you should know that as long as the earth can touch it, there is actually a place that can be touched by the earth. I can find her." Poseidon spread his hands, "Unless she doesn't want to come out to meet people, but it must be because Hades has been in the underworld for a long time, so I'm not sure where is the best place to find Gaia's traces. "

Just as Tartarus and the abyss are equated, Gaia is also equated with the earth. Every place that the earth can touch, there is her consciousness. The only difference is whether she is willing to come out or not. .

Melos was taken aback. He had been frantically looking for Hades these days, and he was afraid that the other party would always know about it.

What about Hades?

Melos suddenly thought of the calm voice of Hades that day. He had been with Hades for so long, and Melos could detect a little change in the other party. But thinking about it now, when Gaia appeared, Hades seemed a little None are surprised.

It's like expecting that the other party will definitely appear.
