[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

"Hermes disappeared?" Melos frowned involuntarily after hearing Gakbel's words. "When did you find out?"

"Just now." Gakbel replied, "When he returned to the palace, his breath disappeared. Just in case, I went in and took a look."

"Hermes disappeared..." Melos tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically, and his brows never loosened.

Melos knew about him but never reported it to Zeus, but he left the underworld when Persephone disappeared. Why?

Moreover, the way he left the underworld did not alarm anyone, even he and Hades were concealed from him.Or maybe he already had the ability to leave here, but it was just useless before?

"Your Highness," Gakbel's expression was not very good, "do you want to send someone to Olympus to find out?"

"No, there is no need." Melos shook his head, "If there is a real change in Olympus, I will block it at that time. The most important thing now is...whether my sister has come to the underworld or not."

Hermes can leave as soon as he leaves. If he really wants to go to Zeus, he will not be afraid at that time. For him now, the most important thing is the matter of Persephone.

A disappearing star would not be noticed by Zeus and others, and Demeter would not have discovered it if the star hadn't happened to be transformed by Persephone.

Melos was sitting on a chair, thinking with his head down. Gakbel looked at him and quietly retreated out without making a sound.

Hades stood on the edge of the Styx, looking expressionlessly at the river where thousands of dead souls were imprisoned.

Gakbel came to his side and lowered his head slightly: "Your Highness doesn't seem to be planning to do anything." He said.

Hades didn't respond at all, Gakbel couldn't see any expression on his face, since ancient times, there are very few gods who can guess Hades' mind, and Melos is a different kind, he came to Hades The shortest time, but he is the person who knows Hades best now.

Hades didn't speak, so Gakbel naturally didn't dare to say anything. He just stood behind Hades, waiting for his order.

After a long time, he heard His Majesty Pluto's faint but somewhat puzzled voice: "The river of Styx has not stopped flowing."

Gakbel frowned slightly, unable to understand the meaning of Hades' words.

If Melos was here, he would definitely frown instantly.

It's a pity that Gakbel doesn't know the situation in the underworld. Although he is resourceful, there are some things that he can't touch.

Hades didn't say anything, but turned and left.

For a long time afterwards, no matter which world it was, it was very peaceful. Apart from worrying about Persephone, Melos lived very comfortably in the underworld. Now he is enough to be alone, and his relationship with Hades is only Increase and decrease—even if the indifferent His Royal Highness Pluto rarely speaks sweet words, but this will not hinder their getting along—after the underworld becomes an independent world, Hades has fewer things to deal with, basically Handed over to Meros, a new underworld is rapidly forming, and the Trojan War caused many dead souls to come to that world.

In the human world, the Trojan War continued to elongate the front line, and various schemes continued to appear. The goddess of peace, Makaria, had no news since she went to the human world. Melos only thought of Makaria's plan after he realized it. Strength seems insufficient to support her across the two worlds.

It is estimated that she will have to find a way by herself, at least Melos will not open the door for her, and will probably only provide a little help.

Olympus is constantly bustling, even though the human world is going through war, but Zeus still does not change the habit of looking for a lover, Hera is still furious about it, Hermes disappeared, Zeus is not worried about this, maybe He will think of the missing son when he needs a message from Hermes, but now he is obsessed with the "exciting game" of finding a lover and hiding from Hera, and he doesn't care about the disappearance of a son.

After all, he has many children, and Hermes is not his favorite.

The changes of Apollo and Artemis are enormous. Of course, no one else can see this, only their mother knows it clearly.

Everything seems to have changed, but also seems to have not changed.

Until one day, a violent shock came from Olympus.

It's as if someone hit the top of the mountain with a huge ax and is bound to smash the mountain into pieces.

The gods of Olympus were stunned.

This is not a change from the underworld. Everyone in Olympus knows very well that it is a vibration from within Olympus.

It was as if the mountain was about to collapse.

In the human world, landslides are not surprising because of the emotions of the gods, but as the center where the gods live, as the sacred domain of the gods, it is a big event that Olympus shows signs of collapse. The Titan War has been fought for so long. I don't see any problem in God's Domain.

For a moment, the gods were terrified, and Zeus was directly pulled back from the lover's bed by Hera.

Hera had no time to deal with the beautiful woman beside Zeus, but the divine light on her body inadvertently caused the human woman to lose her beautiful face. When Zeus left with Hera, the woman's skin quickly became dry. Beautiful women grow old in the blink of an eye.

And Zeus, who returned to Olympus, had already forgotten about her because of Olympus.

Everyone gathered in the main hall of Olympus. The great mother goddess Rhea, who had been sleeping for many years, slowly walked into the main hall, and many people looked at her expressionlessly.

Only a few people saluted her.

"Mother." Zeus nodded to her. As the king of the gods, he didn't get up when Rhea came in, and only Hera stood up from his seat.

Rhea nodded, stood in the middle of the steps, and was about to say something when a beautiful light suddenly appeared in the hall.

Many people are very familiar with this ray of light, even if they haven't seen it for many years.

"Earth Mother..." Who among the gods suddenly said such a title, and then almost all the gods bowed their heads, offering their respect to the Earth Mother Goddess.

"Gaia..." Zeus frowned slightly, and whispered, "Have you finally decided to return to Olympus?"

The woman in the holy light has a stern face, and the corners of her mouth seem to be slightly raised in the holy light, which looks like a kind smile, but if you really look carefully, you can find that she doesn't actually have any expression. The light didn't disappear, and the whole person was hidden in the light, looking like an illusion.

Displeasure appeared on Zeus's face, and a little dissatisfaction arose in his heart for Gaia's silent behavior.

Just when he was about to ask something more, Gaia suddenly raised his hand and pointed his index finger at the top of the steps.

At first many people thought she was referring to Rhea, but it was later realized that she was referring to Zeus.

Since he became the king of the gods, few people have treated him like this. Zeus frowned, feeling that his patience was gradually running out.

It's just a god that has disappeared for many years.

He was about to say something, but Gaia suddenly spoke.

"The disaster comes from your unscrupulousness." Compared with Zeus's majesty, her voice was more cold without any popularity, and what she said was like the reason for judging whoever committed a crime, which made Zeus not only furious.

"Gaia!" he said warningly.

He can overthrow his father, so he will naturally not be afraid of this "grandmother". In this world, for some men, rights have always been more important than family affection.

Even if Gaia is the source of the gods, but if he angers himself, he doesn't mind throwing her to Tartarus.

Gaia laughed coldly, as if mocking Zeus' self-righteousness.

She slowly opened her arms, and the holy light lifted her up.

In the light, her figure gradually became transparent, but her words were clearly heard by every god—including those in the human world and those in the ocean: "The gods are about to welcome The gorgeous dusk, and the opportunity for everything to start, began with Zeus's unscrupulousness..."

The moment she disappeared, Zeus' anger spread throughout Olympus, and thunder and lightning kept falling, turning many places in Olympus into a big pit.

"Gaia!" The anger in Zeus's heart surged, and for a while, not only Olympus, but even the human world began to thunder and lightning.

Rhea looked at the place where Gaia disappeared in silence, feeling a little worried in her heart, and finally did not speak.

She looked at the angry Zeus, then at the expressionless Hera, and finally disappeared into the hall slowly.

Compared with her words, Gaia's words are more convincing. She can predict the future, but Gaia can see the established future.

The future is an unpredictable thing, just because of a change of thought, it can affect the future she foresees at the last moment, just like she predicted that if Demeter gave birth to a boy, then that boy would take Zeus away. One-third of the power, but later Demeter gave birth to a girl, so this prophecy failed to come true.

The so-called prophecy is just to foresee "what impact will this matter have if you insist on doing it", while Gaia can see the established future that will never be changed.

This is the difference between the mother source of the gods and the gods, a level that cannot be touched even if she has become the great mother god now.

Hera looked at Zeus who was angry, and instead of stepping forward to comfort him, she kept looking at him from behind, but no one knew what she was thinking.

The gods stood in the hall, and the usually bolder gods looked at Zeus at this moment, and they didn't have the courage to speak out.

The change of heaven and earth caused by Zeus surprised Poseidon in the sea area. Gaia's previous words were also spread to the sea area, and gods with godheads could basically hear them.

"Gorgeous evening?" Poseidon sat lazily on his throne, uncertain about Gaia's words before. Gaia disappeared for so many years, but this time he would appear in Olympus, and said something that would make all the gods Only words that can be heard.

For the time being, he couldn't figure out what the "twilight" Gaia referred to, but there was no doubt that Gaia's meaning was very clear, and the person who caused this incident was Zeus.

No wonder Zeus was so angry.

Poseidon sneered a few times, and the sky was filled with lightning and thunder. The lightning not only struck the ground, but also the sea. No matter where they were, they were bearing Zeus' wrath.

Now, Zeus, who had no idea about Gaia, probably won't let Gaia go.

However, Zeus sent their father to Tartarus with their help. Not everyone in Olympus was willing to help Zeus, and they didn't know how he planned to deal with Gaia.

"Poseidon!" Amphitrite ran out with a pale face, "Are you alright?"

Looking at the flustered Amphitrite, Poseidon frowned slightly.

Zeus released the thunder and lightning to strike the sea for no reason, probably to scare Amphitrite.

He took his wife into his arms and comforted him: "Honey, I'm fine. I didn't provoke him this time. You heard Gaia's words just now. Gaia suddenly appeared in Olympus after disappearing for so many years. After saying that, it is estimated that Zeus has swallowed her mind now."

Amphitrite wasn't frightened by the changes in the ocean, she was worried about whether something happened to Poseidon.

Poseidon knew this well, so he hugged his wife tightly and comforted her.

"Really?" Amphitrite felt a little scared, "I thought..."

"It's really not my dear this time." Poseidon said, "Gaia caused Zeus to be so angry, I guess the gods of Olympus are going to be unlucky recently."

"You..." Amphitrite looked up at Poseidon, "You don't want to get involved?"

"No, honey," Poseidon kissed her forehead, "I'll stay here with you recently, and I won't go anywhere."

Amphitrite raised her eyebrows, a little disbelieving: "Really?"

"I promise." Poseidon smiled, "I'm not going anywhere recently, and I will never lie to you."

Amphitrite leaned her cheek against his chest, the worries in her heart slowly disappeared, hugging the person she loved most, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Poseidon caressed her hair, and when the always grumpy man was by her side, he would appear gentle and patient.

Gaia's appearance this time is definitely not accidental. Although her actions have always been unpredictable, Poseidon is very clear. The first time you come out and get involved in something, it will definitely be a big deal.

Although he wants to pull Zeus down from the throne, he is not a fool. Gaia will appear in Olympus, which may indicate that something will happen in Olympus, or, according to what Gaia said, maybe Something will happen among the gods.

It's better to wait and see what happens for a while, and if something happens to Olympus, he will have to decide whether to play Olympus or not.

Although Gaia's words spread throughout Olympus, the sea area, and the human world, every god with a godhead could hear them clearly, but these words did not reach the underworld.

The underworld where Melos and Hades are located is quiet and quiet. This place has been separated from that world, and they don’t have enough strength to go in and out at will, so what happens there has nothing to do with it.

It is precisely because of this that Zeus' anger has never been able to touch the underworld.
