[Greek Mythology] The Ugly God's Counterattack

The sound came from the bronze door. Could it be that someone escaped from prison?Are they the captives of the Titans?Or the monster Typhon?Hephaestus's thoughts began to spin, Hades quickly got up, and strode up to him: "You wait for me here, I'll go and have a look." After finishing speaking, he walked out.

"I'm going too," he shouted, regardless of whether Hades heard it or not, he followed up consciously.Before he came here, he was very interested in the things inside the bronze door, and his intuition told him that the sudden heart contraction at that moment was by no means accidental.

Inside the huge bronze gate is the most protruding abyss leading to hell, and the defeated Titans and Typhon are locked inside.The deepest part is constantly guarded by the three white-handed giants Guas, Kotos, and Briareus, and the outer part, which is close to the bronze gate, is guarded by the vicious three-headed dog Kerros.

At this time, Kerros didn't change anything except his fierce expression, and it seemed that it wasn't the one who made the roar.The twin gods who came here after hearing the sound, as if nothing had happened, were quite puzzled.

Hypnos stroked his chin, feeling very puzzled.He checked it, and there was no sign of damage to the bronze door, which meant that no prisoners had passed through here.This is the only exit to escape from the abyss, since no one has crossed, so what is going on?

He looked at Thanatos who was also puzzled, trying to find the answer from his younger brother.

Thanatos thought for a while, and said his guess: "Could it be that the Titans inside had internal strife?"

"This possibility is not ruled out," Hades who rushed over took Thanatos's words, and then stared sharply at the eyes of Kerros behind the bronze door, with a strong chill and oppression in his eyes.

The ferocious dog with poisonous snakes all over its body shrank its head, resisting the fear, and looked at Hades, trying to convince the supreme lord of the underworld that nothing happened and everything was as usual.

Hades pondered for half a second, and said to Thanatos and Hypnos: "Go down and see, and deal with any situation immediately, without reporting to me."

The twin gods understood, and after looking at each other, they concentrated their divine power on the key and quickly opened the bronze door.Seeing the door open, Hephaestus looked inside curiously, and raised his foot to follow the twin gods into the room.

"I didn't tell you to go in," Hades said.

Hephaestus paused, turned around in embarrassment, and said with a dry smile, "I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, what should I do if there are not enough people?"

"I believe in their abilities." Hades raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you going to choose smelting materials, are you going now?"

"Of course." Hephaestus replied quickly.It is indeed unreasonable for him to enter the abyss at the deepest part of the Tongmen with his current status. It is better to find the materials as soon as possible and return to Shenshan.

Although the sacred mountain of Olympus is not very good, it is more comfortable than this underworld.If you stay for a long time, you will really be affected by the dead energy here. If you do that, you will have to eat things from the underworld to resist this dead energy.Moreover, it is unknown how long the Golden Arrow will last. He is not sure what kind of attitude Hades will take towards him once the time limit expires. It is undoubtedly the best choice to go back early.

The underworld is different from the sky and the sea, but the treasures buried here are unmatched and possessed by the other two realms.If the sky is the closest to power, and the ocean is the root of all veins, then the underworld is a huge treasure house piled up with wealth.

Hephaestus stood on Hades' chariot, overlooking the mountain in front of the underworld, and all kinds of strange lights flashed above the mountain.Although he knew that there are many rare treasures in the underworld, he was still a little surprised when he saw it intuitively for the first time.

"Take whichever you like." Although Hades' tone was calm, Hephaestus could hear a domineering president from these words, and suddenly felt a chill.I always feel that staying with this guy will involuntarily make my personality crooked.He must pay attention to his words and deeds, so as not to be brought into the president's routine by this guy again.

"Choose it?" Hades said, interrupting his thoughts.

"Yeah? Well," Hephaestus returned to his senses, looked at the mountain in front of him, and wrapped his whip around a dark red diamond on the mountain.This diamond is not too big, but it is very pure, not mixed with other substances.He is going to grind this diamond into many tiny needle points, and then inlay it on the surface of the long whip.

"That's it," he said to Hades.

Hades: "No other?"

"No..." Hephaestus paused suddenly, and after thinking for half a second, he said, "I'll take another one." He swung out his whip again, wrapped it around a huge diamond, pulled it hard, and put the diamond on the into the chariot.

Hades raised his eyebrows as he looked at the diamond, which was as big as half a chariot.

Hephaestus patted the huge diamond and said to Hades, "This is for you."

"Oh?" Hades wondered.

Hephaestus smiled: "Go to the copper gate now, and you will know soon."

Coming to the bronze gate again, Hades finally understood the reason why Hephaestus was holding the huge diamond after seeing Hephaestus' actions.

Build another solid door, and stand in front of the bronze door with an absolutely indestructible posture, burying the captive's hope a little more.Since he was named the god of fire and the god of smelting, no one can match his corresponding ability.

Showy red hair, handsome face, eye-catching tattoos, and a slender body.Hades could clearly feel that the power of the Golden Arrow of Love was slowly failing, but he seemed to have another strange feeling about Hephaestus that he couldn't explain clearly.It is not the blind admiration when the arrow hit the arrow, nor the teasing and joking intention at the beginning, but another attitude built between the two, which may be called appreciation.

Hephaestus built the gate, clapped his hands, and said to Hades: "I took the diamond from the underworld, and in exchange, I built a brand new gate for the underworld, so I don't owe you anything." At the same time, they specially melted the ghost fire into the diamond, and at the same time, the door was hard. Once there was an escape, the commotion of the undead in the ghost fire would cause the response of the undead in the Tesquez River, which was also convenient for Hades and the others to find out in time.

Hades looked at Hephaestus, his eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.

"By the way, this is the key." Hephaestus threw the key to Hades, and when he saw that he got it, he pointed to the door and joked: "Death and sleep are still below, go down." It would be bad to be locked inside for so long."

Hades looked at the key in his hand. Although the copper door was very strong, it was inevitable that it would become loose after a long period of time.The gate built by Hephaestus undoubtedly played a big role in preventing captives and criminals from escaping.The corner of Hades' mouth rose slightly, and he said softly, "Thank you."

Hephaestus smiled.

At this time, a blindfolded goddess came to them.

Keri, the goddess of justice in a white robe, bowed respectfully to Hades and said, "Your Majesty Hades, Hermes, the messenger of the God King, has arrived in the underworld."

"Hermes?" Hades didn't speak, but Hephaestus asked first.Hermes came at this time, did he come to find him back to Mount Olympus?

It turned out that his guess was correct.Hermes stood at the entrance of the underworld, saw Hephaestus who came with Hades, and walked forward a few steps: "Your Majesty Hades, the God King asked me to bring Vulcan back to Olin Mount Peas."

Hermes wears sandals that allow him to fly, which makes him the fastest of all the gods.His special ability also makes him the only god who can freely enter and leave the underworld without being discovered.So every time the God King wanted to bring a message to the underworld, he would go there.

Before Hades could speak, Hephaestus said, "Okay, I'll go back now." After speaking, he waved to Hades and stepped out of the underworld first.

Hermes looked at the back of Hephaestus, then at Hades who was expressionless, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and followed up.He thought it would take some time and effort to take Hephaestus away from Hades, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

"You left just like that?" Hermes caught up with Hephaestus and asked with some doubts, "Did Hades do anything to you?"

Hephaestus rolled his eyes: "What do you think he can do to me?"

"..." Hermes was speechless.

Hephaestus patted him on the shoulder, and when he was about to tease him, his face suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?" Hermes was puzzled.

Hephaestus didn't answer, and turned his head to look at the closed entrance to the underworld with a solemn expression.

"Hey you……"

"Don't talk." Hephaestus interrupted Hermes. Just a moment ago, he seemed to hear another roar, and... it seemed that something was about to rush here!

At the same moment, when the roar sounded...

The twin gods who were going to explore the abyss were suddenly shaken away by a burst of breath, and then a bright and dazzling light rushed towards them.The moment they covered their eyes with their hands, a black smoke broke free from the cell of the abyss with lightning speed, and penetrated the iron wall of the ground like a high-speed rotating tornado in an instant, rushing straight to the entrance of the underworld. .

Oops!Hypnos and Thanatos looked at each other, and tracked the black mist as fast as they could.

Hephaestus frowned tightly, looking at the entrance in front of him, his expression became more and more dignified.

Hermes looked at Hephaestus who didn't speak but just looked at the entrance of the underworld, and became more and more puzzled. He didn't understand why the guy beside him didn't leave, why he stopped here and kept staring at the entrance.

Did something happen inside?In the underworld, could it be that some criminals escaped?

Hermes' thoughts began to spin, and at this moment, he suddenly heard Hephaestus shout "Be careful!" Before he could react, he was thrown to the ground by the other party.

The gloomy, bloody aura quickly condensed above Hephaestus, and the black turbid smoke drew the wind into it, and soon formed a bigger vortex.A biting chill filled the air in an instant, and Hermes seemed to hear the roar of anger and the resentment of revenge!

Hephaestus turned his head and looked coldly at the huge vortex behind him.

The vortex that was rotating at high speed seemed to stagnate for a moment. Before Hephaestus had time to see what it was, the black vortex surged towards the sky at lightning speed.At the same time, the figures of Hades, Hypnos, and Thanatos appeared in Hephaestus' sight.
