[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

Hearing the roar, Melos and Amphitrite exchanged a surprised look.

As far as they know, the relationship between the siblings has always been very good. I still remember that after Artemis had a sweetheart, Apollo designed Olivier because his sister didn't have much time to care about him. , It can be seen how good the relationship between the two brothers and sisters was back then.

But unexpectedly, after many years, the two brothers and sisters would become like this.

"We can't just let the brothers and sisters make trouble like this." Melos said to Amphitrite.

The other nods in approval.

Although the world is no longer dominated by the gods, the divine power of Apollo and Artemis is still there, and Artemis is in good condition. The brilliance belonging to the moon continued to harm the ghosts, but the influence of Apollo's divine power on the undead was different—although it was not enough to dissipate the undead as before, but he couldn't let him go on like this.

When Melos and Amphitrite arrived, the siblings were already fighting, and Melos could tell that the two no longer regarded each other as relatives at all, but fought to the death.

Anders was not far from the flames of war, and he looked very uncomfortable, but his eyes were fixed on Artemis.

Apollo seemed to really want to kill the two of them. When Melos arrived, he heard Artemis growling impatiently: "I didn't shoot that arrow, Apollo, you can't shoot Daphne." Blame it on me for dissipating."

Apollo snorted coldly, but did not answer Artemis.

To Melos' surprise, the two brothers and sisters seemed to be on par in strength, but at this moment, it seemed that Apollo had the upper hand over Artemis.

Or is Artemis worried about Anders here?

He did not take part in the war between the two brothers and sisters, but fell into deep thought on the sidelines.

In less than a minute, Apollo found a gap and rushed in front of Anders.

Melos almost didn't think about it, so he pulled Anderson to his side, and then took Apollo's attack by himself.

It is really not an easy task to bear the power of a god with a mortal body, even though Melos is very sure that he is much stronger than Apollo now.

Apollo did not recognize Meros yet, but was very angry that someone was standing in his way.

It is not easy to use divine power with a mortal body. Melos took out his scepter almost subconsciously, but after thinking about it, he put it away again in the next moment, forcefully subjecting himself to Apollo's scepter. attack.

"Your Highness." Amphitrite's voice sounded in his ear, and Melos didn't respond. He took advantage of the time when Apollo was entangled by Artemis, and used a trick by surprise, and this space was very suitable for him. , he drove Apollo out.

"You..." Artemis took Anders' hand and walked to Melos, a little at a loss.

"I'm not my sister, there's a reason to save him." Melos took a breath, feeling his body's strength was gradually disappearing, "Artemis, I saved him today, you owe me a favor, In the future, you have to pay it back no matter what.” He raised his chin proudly and said word by word, “If you think I’m meddling in my own business, then you can take him away now—but I don’t guarantee that you can Take him out safely."

Artemis didn't hesitate: "If you need me in the future, just say it," she smiled mockingly, "If you didn't see that I and Apollo were against each other, I'm afraid you wouldn't make a move, Melos, You are more selfish and cruel than Persephone."

Artemis was right. When he met Anderson here from the very beginning, he didn't intend to meddle in their affairs. Anyway, Anderson died in vain, and he could be saved if he acted faster. Whether this person is dead or alive has nothing to do with him. It doesn't matter, he doesn't need to test Artemis for this ghost.

Until just now, listening to the words and phrases between the two brothers and sisters, Melos probably knew the reason why the two brothers and sisters were fighting each other.

It was also at that moment that he decided to intervene.

Artemis has turned against Apollo. Although I don’t know how she is with Olympus now, Artemis owes her a debt with Anderson as a bargaining chip. If he really escapes in the future Without the fate of facing Olympus, Artemis can be used to contain Apollo at any rate.

"I can take it as a compliment." Melos took a deep breath, "Don't be harsh, I won't live today."

But this is far from enough. Thinking of their family, their mother was trapped in Olympus for many years, and his sister was forced to turn into a star to avoid everything. He had to go to the underworld to avoid the sight of the gods, so that he became It became like this.

If he hadn't been ruthless back then, he would have been discovered when Zeus sneaked into the underworld. If he hadn't been ruthless and used every opportunity to kill the Great Mother Goddess, he would no longer exist in this world now.

"And do you think, after so many things, my sister will still be so selfless?" Melos asked back.

Artemis fell silent.

"Cough..." Melos coughed, "I don't have much time, you take him out quickly, Apollo was injured by me, and he won't come in a short time, as for how to protect your people, that's your own Things, I don’t mind helping you out, as long as you pay something.”

"Father!" Makarya, who had rushed over because of the commotion, was shocked when he saw Melos' appearance.

"Meros." Persephone took Meros from Amphitrite's hands, and his face became increasingly ugly as he checked his situation.

"It's okay." Melos held his sister's hand, "I did it on purpose." He panted.

"You're thinking……"

"Only when this body dies can I..." Before he finished speaking, he lost his strength.

Then a ball of light emerged from his body, and then dispersed into several light spots, slowly dissipating in the air.

And the moment he stopped breathing, Persephone felt a lightness in his hand.

After those dots of light disappeared into the air, the body also disappeared.

Macaria and Persephone glanced at each other, then bid farewell to Amphitrite, and the two hurriedly disappeared into the underworld.

Artemis was curious about what happened, but nothing was as important as Anderson right now, so she pulled Anderson and left in a hurry: "His Royal Highness, please tell him that I will not stand idly by if something happens in the future."

Amphitrite kept smiling faintly, and when she also left, only the cries of ghosts were left in the underworld.

"Is the current atmosphere like the sea before it's about to rain?" She turned her head and asked Poseidon who appeared by her side at some point.

"It's a pity that the rain won't be very heavy." Poseidon said, holding her shoulder.

"how do you know?"

"Honey, this world is no longer controlled by the gods, and besides his own strength, Melos also snatched half of Zeus's power back then. Do you think that now that Melos and Hades have joined forces, Zeus What can be done, the Great Mother is dead." Without the help of the Great Mother, what can Zeus do if he is not in his prime?

"But Hera is still there." Compared with the cooperative relationship between the Great Mother and Zeus, Hera is the most trusted existence of Zeus. After all, apart from Zeus himself, the Great Mother has two other sons who can cooperate, but everyone knows , Hera loves Zeus badly, and she is the person Zeus trusts most.

"That woman is a lunatic." Poseidon curled his lips, "After all, we should not worry about these things. If you are worried at that time, I will go to the underworld myself, but you still have to stay here. I don't care if you go out with me." Don't worry, huh?"

"Okay." Amphitrite rested her head on his chest, with a satisfied smile on her lips.

On the other side, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the static underworld.

It seemed that something was gradually recovering. Peleus ran to the grove immediately, and saw that the lake was almost rolled into a vortex, and the water droplets splashed from the vortex turned into dots of light, and the starlight swept across the trees by the lake. The original dead branches sprouted in an instant, and a little light overflowed from the new branches, and then they slowly gathered together.

"This is..." Peleus looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

"Be careful." Someone pulled him back, "He's about to wake up."

As soon as the words fell, the lake water suddenly surged.

At the same time, more and more points of light gathered and rushed straight past, rushing towards the gate of the underworld.

Peleus was sure he heard Cerberus' cry of joy.

The next moment, the ray of light hit the gate of the underworld that had been closed for thousands of years, and pushed it open.

The moment the door opened, a figure seemed to slowly appear, and countless black vines suddenly appeared from the banks of the River Styx, slowly pulling that figure out from the door.

In the next instant, the gate of the underworld was closed again, and the figure torn out by the vines gradually became clear from blur.

The vines slowly surrounded his naked body, and then the leaves fell off, turning into a piece of clothing on the man.

Without the support of the vines, the man was about to fall, and before Peleus hurried to pick it up, someone rushed over and hugged him.

When Makarya opened the gate of the underworld and came in, he happened to see this scene.

"Mother..." she said in surprise.

And Persephone beside her was momentarily stunned, but no one noticed.

Hades just gave Makaria a look, he didn't even look at Peleus, just hugged the person in his arms, sat down on the spot, and didn't care about the reactions of the people around him.

And none of the people around him left.

It was not until a long time later that the person in his arms moved and slowly opened his eyes, that his cold expression gradually eased.

"woke up?"
