[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

"Your Highness?" Seeing Melos' expression, Akarali looked at him in surprise, not understanding why Melos had such a change, "What did you think of?"

"Reflection..." Melos looked at the reflection of Narcissus, and a thought rose in his heart, "Akarali, I think, I have a way to temporarily solve the difficulties here."

"What do you mean?"

"Since the dead souls here are wandering in the underworld because of the 'disappearance' of the underworld, why don't I create another underworld?"

It is not difficult for a god to open up a space. His current strength has been fully restored, and he has the ability to open a new space.

At that time, the new underworld will replace the old underworld, forming its own reincarnation system, and the dead will automatically be attracted by it, and go there by themselves. The new space does not need to be exactly the same as the underworld, although in the future if Hermo If Si suddenly came to the underworld, he would notice that something was wrong, but no matter what he said, the most important thing was to solve the current matter first.

It is enough to create a space. As for how that space will develop in the future, Melos does not need to care about it. Just like the world was just chaotic at the beginning. After the gods appeared, they slowly performed their duties, and then other The emergence of races, at the very beginning, everything is the most blank, isn't it?

Now he just needs to find a way to solve the problem of the dead souls, and the priorities are the priorities. If Hermes comes here and finds that something is wrong with the underworld, it is currently out of his consideration.

However, because of Zeus, he can't use his power wantonly in the human world at present. It will be a matter of time before Zeus finds out that his divine power is not right. It depends on the speed of the transfer of divine power between the two of them and Zeus' own sensitivity.

At least for the past few days, Melos could feel a strange power appearing in his body in an endless stream, and then slowly merged with the original power.

That is the power of the Lord of Olympus.

Such power will bring him trouble sooner or later, even if the underworld separates from Olympus and becomes an independent world, but according to Melos' understanding of Zeus, once Zeus discovers all this, he will find Melos after exhausting everything.

but……

Melos opened the passage to the underworld and walked in with a straight body.

Even if he doesn't have half of Zeus's divine power, he won't be afraid of Zeus with his own strength alone. At that time, Zeus with only half of his divine power... He thinks that Poseidon will like this news very much.

Creating another space is not difficult for Melos today. He plans to create another underworld connected to the Olympus world in the same way as the underworld.

Melos holds his own scepter of the queen of the dead, and now he has grown to the peak of his life. Any self-protection ability, not to mention the threat from Olympus, even the cry of the souls of Styx can affect him deeply. This scepter is connected to Hades' bident. When it was still sealed, the power used was actually the power of Hades.

But now, he no longer needs to use this scepter, his ability is enough to protect himself from harm, but Melos is reluctant to bear it.

It is connected to Hades' double halberd, at least if this scepter is still there, he can know that Hades is fine.

It is Melos' own power that is injected into this scepter now.

Although Melos, who is in the underworld, is anxious to solve all this, but Melos knows that it is not a good time yet.

He waited for a while until the day when Olympus was extremely lively.

The goddess of discord dropped a golden apple, which was written "to the most beautiful", in a word, causing a dispute among the three goddesses.

They all thought they were the most beautiful goddesses, but there was only one golden apple.

As a result, the quarrel between the three goddesses made the entire Olympus restless, and the goddess Buhe sneered a few times, put aside the trouble she had caused, turned around and walked to other places.

And in Olympus, the three goddesses who quarreled over the golden apples were almost fighting.

Zeus was devastated.

Melos saw this opportunity and asked Makaria to cover the moon—Artemis, who was involved in the dispute over the Golden Apple, didn't notice that the moon was no longer visible in the human world.

The lunar eclipse, a very normal astronomical phenomenon in the eyes of later generations, caused great fear in this world. The disappearance of the moon was because the goddess Artemis they believed in had never come to the earth. They were worried whether they had offended the gods. Only, or what oracle the god will send down.

Every time there is a lunar or solar eclipse, it is enough to make people panic.

This time was no exception. Many people hid at home and did not dare to go out, fearing disasters from the gods, while others went to the temple built for Artemis to pray for the gods to come back to the earth and bring the moon back.

When many people feared, only the country of Niobe, who believed in the queen of the underworld, was extremely peaceful under the preaching of the king and queen.

Niobe and her husband loudly said to their people that the moon disappeared and the sky and the earth fell into darkness must be because His Royal Highness the Empress of the Underworld is about to come to the human world, so that his subjects should not panic, but they must stay at home and not If you go out, if you anger the gods, you are likely to be punished by the gods.

Thanks to the efforts of Niobe and her husband, the subjects of this country began to believe in the indifferent Hades. Under the advocacy of Niobe and her husband, the people of this small country closed their doors and windows soon after the lunar eclipse began. Someone even used a table to block the door to prevent naughty children from going out when they were not looking.

They all felt that it was very likely that Pluto and Hades would come to the earth, because only when the earth fell into darkness would it be similar to the situation in the underworld.

Compared with the panic and panic in other countries, this country has been extremely calm from the beginning.

Niobe also asked people to close the doors of the palace in the palace, and even asked the maids to go to rest after extinguishing the candles. The whole palace fell into unprecedented silence, but no one felt that something was wrong.

After Niobe comforted her child to sleep, she bowed in the direction of the Temple of the Queen of the Underworld, and her child gradually returned to her side, which made her more grateful for the gift of the Queen of the Underworld.

Compared with the tranquility of the country of Niobe, other countries are in chaos. Even wandering travelers can't help trembling. Olympus is in chaos, and the human world is also in chaos. Soon, a new space was born from his hands, just like Makarya, it didn't take long after it appeared, and it quickly matured from its infancy.

The emergence of the new world led to an earthquake in the human world. People believed that this earthquake was a disaster from the gods and dissatisfaction with human beings, so they were even more worried. For a while, people in many countries were wondering why The gods will suddenly get angry, if they have done something wrong.

After Melos finished his task, he frowned slightly.

I always feel that it is too smooth, and the divine power he originally expected to use has been reduced by nearly half.

From the very beginning, he noticed that something was wrong, and he always felt that someone had planned everything and was just waiting for him to walk along the track.

Melos stood at the entrance of the new world. There was nothing here, but it was better than chaos. The dead souls wandering in the human world were attracted by this world and spontaneously walked into this world.

Soon, some undead sat on the ground, recalling all kinds of things in their lifetime, and they shed tears out of regret for the past, unwillingness to die, and nostalgia for life.

Gradually, the world began to reverberate with the cries of the dead souls. Compared with the faint cries that Melos occasionally heard in the underworld, at this moment their cries were almost substantive, not stimulating the soul, but stimulating the soul. eardrum.

The tears of the dead fell to the ground, slowly gathering into puddles, and then sinking deep into the ground.

Soon, the ground seemed unable to hold the tears, and they began to stay on the ground.

Melos was keenly aware that the ground, soaked in tears, was beginning to sink.

An endless stream of dead souls came to the underworld, and Melos frowned slightly.

There are definitely not many people in the human world at this time. Even if many dead souls stay in the underworld because of the departure of the underworld, there shouldn't be so many dead souls coming here.

Then there is only one explanation. This new underworld, like the original underworld, was connected to other worlds when it was born, attracting souls from other worlds to enter here.

The haze continued to expand, and the cries among the dead souls seemed to be contagious. The dead souls who came here not long ago cried along, and the voices of the dead souls who came here at the beginning have been crying less and less, but this is not a good sign. In the beginning, their cries only made people feel eardrum pain, but now this faint cry is stimulating people's soul.

When Melos noticed it, the original small puddle had become a small lake. The land of the lake seemed to have subsided, and some dead souls slowly sank to the bottom of the water. They were struggling constantly, but these small puddles made of tears from the dead The lake is like a swamp, pulling them into the water.

The water that should have only reached the man's waist, but it flooded him up to the top of his head.

Not reconciled, he stretched out his hand and slowly pulled the people around him in.

Over and over again, the lake is slowly expanding and deepening.

This is the Styx of the future.

Melos stood in the distance and watched all this unfolding. This is a move made by a new space eager to improve itself.

Melos pursed his lips, he just wanted to get this space out, and it was no longer his responsibility to develop into what happened afterwards.

He returned to the underworld.

This is his home.

And just as he entered the palace, he heard Makaria's joyous laughter.

Hearing his daughter's laughter, he couldn't help but put on a faint smile.

Sensing his return, Makarya ran to his side and happily told him, "Father, mother is back!"
