[Greek Mythology] The Ugly God's Counterattack

It was a stalemate, but in fact, only Hephaestus was frowning and thinking, and Hades was watching him thinking.

And things go back to when they first stepped into Hades...

The black chariot stopped by the banks of the Tyskes, Hypnos went to find Thanatos, and Hephaestus followed Hades to get out of the chariot.This can be regarded as his coming to the underworld in the true sense, to truly see this vast territory without sunlight.

"This is your kingdom." Hades whispered in his ear.

Hephaestus raised his eyebrows, and instead of responding to Hades' words, he began to look around.

Although the underworld was abandoned by the sun, it was not as dark and desolate as he imagined.Above this territory, the twilight of the dark moon poured down, making the wild tulips blooming on both sides of the river Styx pale and reveal hazy beauty.

The water of the Teskes River was choppy, and the dark red flames were burning fiercely at the bottom of the river.Because of the fusion of the underworld fire before, he could clearly hear the groans of the unwilling dead in the raging fire and the mournful sighs of the undead.These voices are mixed with resentment, mixed with the hope that they can relive the warm sunshine of the past.

Formless, weightless wandering in the darkness.

The sound was low, like the low rustling sound of autumn wind blowing through fallen leaves.

The stubborn soul who stubbornly pursues the sun is so cute, and it is so pitiful under the fact that it cannot escape the shackles and shackles.

Don't let me magnify your value and break through the deep land with absolute violence.

The corner of Hephaestus's mouth raised slightly, and he found an excellent reason for merging himself with the underworld fire. He didn't care if Hades was next to him, so he directly drew the flame into his palm and began to merge with his own origin.

Hades watched his movements quietly, his eyes so deep that people couldn't see his emotions clearly.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Hephaestus smiled with satisfaction. It was still good to come to the underworld, at least he didn't have to go to the bottom of the Teskes River to steal fire.

"Okay?" Hades asked.

"Well," Hephaestus looked at him, his eyes shining brightly: "Didn't you say that there are many precious smelting materials in the underworld, as the lord of the underworld, why don't you take me to observe it now."

Hades remained silent and stared at Hephaestus for a long time. Hephaestus, who was looking straight at him, frowned, and then took a step forward, "Follow."

What kind of attitude is this!Hephaestus muttered, and heeled up.

He followed Hades, and because he only saw the other's back, he didn't notice a subtle change in the eyes of the lord of Hades, and the deep love seemed to be fading slowly.

Eros' golden arrow of love has a time limit, and Hephaestus does not know how long the time limit is.The love produced by the golden arrow of love is illusory and unreal, and it can even be said to be quite exaggerated.As long as he doesn't eat the underworld pomegranate, he will leave the underworld immediately after he has selected the smelting materials.

He was playing Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, but he didn't expect that Hades didn't take him to choose materials, but took him to Hades' palace.

This led to a stalemate between the two.

"Didn't you say to pick the materials, why did you bring me here." Hephaestus was a little displeased.

"You rest for a while, and I will take you there after I finish processing the documents." Hades paused, and then said: "If you want to drink and eat, there are all on the table, you can do it yourself."

Hephaestus pointed to the pomegranate in the fruit plate on the table, and asked with some doubts: "You don't want me to eat it, do you?"

The corners of Hades' mouth raised slightly: "No," he turned and walked out after finishing speaking.

After Hades left, Hephaestus sat on a chair, picked up the pomegranate on the fruit plate, and pulled it away curiously. The plump red pomegranates looked no different from ordinary pomegranates.

Is it a problem with pomegranate itself, or is it because of some kind of contract?Or in other words, as long as you touch the food of the underworld, no matter what kind, you will sign some kind of contract through a special form?

Unable to figure out the reason for this, Hephaestus stopped thinking about it.He put back the opened pomegranate, got up and left Hades Palace.There's no point in resting or anything, since waiting is boring, it's better to go shopping.

The underworld is like another kingdom underground, vast and boundless. There is also a vast sky and a beautiful moon here.Hephaestus suddenly thought of a sentence: The ocean is wider than the land, the sky is wider than the ocean, and the mind is wider than the sky.Compared with Zeus and Poseidon, Hades is indeed much better.

Here, Hephaestus was still thinking, and he met two people head-on. They were human beings rather than monsters.A ferocious elf Empsa with donkey-like legs and a banshee Keria with three heads and three bodies.

"You are a god from Mount Olympus, why did you come to the underworld?" Keria clenched the weapon tightly in her hand, and looked at the god who appeared in the underworld more and more nervously. She could only feel the breath of a god on the other party. But can't feel his godhead.

Hephaestus thought for half a second before replying, "I was invited by your Majesty Hades."

Empsa looked at him suspiciously, "Then why aren't you with His Majesty Pluto?"

"He has something to do, so I'll go out by myself." Hephaestus said indifferently.

After Empsa and Keria looked at each other, suddenly the donkey-like legs moved violently.

Hephaestus dodged away easily, and said with a sneer, "It looks like a monster without a brain at first glance. I can appear in the underworld with integrity, how could I not have the acquiescence of the king of the underworld."

As soon as he finished speaking, as if it had stimulated Empsa's nerves, the elf attacked him more violently.

It's just that these attacks are irrelevant to him.

Not wanting to waste time here, Hephaestus turned sideways and kicked Empsa away.Out of the corner of his eye, Keria, who was attacking him, was about to kick her away, when a black figure stood in front of him.

Thanatos grabbed Keria's wrist, shook her off and said coldly: "Ceria, you have crossed the border." After he finished speaking, he turned and looked at Hephaestus: "Your Majesty Pluto is still here!" To deal with the documents, let me show you around."

Hephaestus raised his eyebrows: "You take me directly to the place where the iron and gemstones are hidden." This god of death appeared early in the morning, but he didn't come out to stop him until now. Did he want to give him a blow?

"It's better for His Majesty Pluto to take you there personally," Thanatos said with a smile in his eyes.

"Then take me to Pluto now." He could go back to Mount Olympus as soon as possible by choosing the smelting materials as soon as possible.

This time, Thanatos did not refuse, and he readily led him to Pluto's office.

Hephaestus glanced at Ceria, who had remained silent since Thanatos appeared, and Empsa, who was kicked away by him and lying on the ground twitching, followed Thanatos as if nothing had happened.

After walking for a short time, when Hephaestus passed a bronze door, Hephaestus felt his heart suddenly constricted. For a short time, the godhead of fire in his body seemed to fluctuate for a moment.

what happened?

He clutched his chest, this strange fluctuation seemed to convey some kind of information.

What exactly is the message?

When he traced it with his consciousness, everything seemed to disappear suddenly, returning to calm without any fluctuations.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him clutching his chest, Thanatos asked with some doubts, "Is it because the death aura of the undead from the underworld is too heavy and depressing? It stands to reason that you have not been here long, and as a god of Mount Olympus, you should It can be resisted for a period of time and will not be affected so quickly."

"It's nothing, it hasn't been affected yet," Hephaestus put down his hand, and looked inside the copper door with his head slightly.

It was darker and gloomy there than the outside, and in the pitch blackness, there were three pairs of eyes gleaming, with a fierce light and killing intent, locking you like a thousand poisonous snakes, making you unable to move and feeling horrified.Hephaestus paused, and turned his gaze to Thanatos: "Can this lead to the deepest abyss of hell?"

Thanatos nodded slightly, as if unwilling to say more.

Seeing this, Hephaestus didn't say much anymore, but just glanced at the bronze door again before leaving.

Pluto’s office was some distance away from the palace. Hephaestus and Thanatos walked side by side, looking at the surrounding environment while walking, asking a few questions from time to time, and felt that they arrived soon.

"Your Majesty Pluto, I have invited Vulcan here." Thanatos bowed respectfully and stood at the lower right of Hades.

"It's the Empress of the Underworld," Hypnos on the lower left corrected Thanatos' address, and winked mischievously at his younger brother.

Thanatos gave him a sideways look, but didn't answer.

Hephaestus frowned: "Just call me by my name."

Hades looked up at Hephaestus, his expression unchanged: "Wait for me, I'll finish this soon." After he finished speaking, he heard Hephaestus say "hmm" again, I buried my head and began to process a large stack of heavy documents.

It turns out that there are so many things to deal with in the underworld, Hephaestus stood beside Hypnos and sighed softly.This is the first time he has seen Pluto's office. The cold and handsome lord of Hades handles the cumbersome documents in an orderly manner. His slender fingers flip through the documents with elegance. It seems that the usual indifference has dissipated a lot. Confident and calm.No wonder it is said that men who work hard are the most handsome. Even if he is also a man, Hephaestus has to admit that such a Hades is very handsome.

Hypnos noticed Hephaestus' gaze, nudged him lightly with his elbow, and said with a low voice, "Our Majesty is handsome! I am very happy to be the Empress of the Underworld!"

Hephaestus gave him a sideways glance, and didn't bother to answer him.

Hypnos shrugged and said no more.

But at this moment, a strong roar suddenly sounded.Along with the roar, there was a slight vibration.Hades' eyes darkened, and Hypnos also put away his playfulness, and his face became serious. He exchanged glances with Thanatos, and ran out at the fastest speed.
