[Greek Mythology] The Ugly God's Counterattack

When Hades came over, he happened to see the note in Hephaestus' hand, so he asked, "What is written on it?"

Hephaestus didn't speak, just handed the note to Hades.

After reading the words on the note, Hades frowned, and after a moment of silence, he raised his eyes and asked, "Are you planning to go alone?"

"Well," Hephaestus replied lightly, looking very calm.

Hades said almost immediately: "No." After speaking, he seemed to feel that his attitude was too tough, so he softened his tone again: "There must be a trap here, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, let me and You go together."

Knowing that Hades was worried about him, Hephaestus sighed softly.If possible, he didn't want to go alone, after all, having one more person would give him more strength.But the note specifically emphasized that he should go alone.

"If you go with me, there's no guarantee that Helios and the others won't do anything to Karis." The red fragments haven't been found yet, and Karis shouldn't and can't have an accident.

"But it's too dangerous for you to go alone. I will hide my breath from them." Hades tried to convince Hephaestus.In his eyes, the lives of Kalis and Hera were far less important than Hephaestus.

Hephaestus shook his head: "Being able to abduct Hera, let alone Helios, the original Vulcan's strength should not be underestimated, and all of this must be related to the fire unicorn." He put his hand on Hades' shoulder, trying to reassure him: "I have a hunch that they won't do anything to me. What's more, if something happens to me, you can come and save me, right! If We are all gone, who will save us then."

Hades was dumbfounded by Hephaestus' illogical rhetoric, he held the hand of Hephaestus on his shoulder: "I will be with you so that we can help you immediately." You, Bolesia Island, have too many uncertainties."

"But..." Hephaestus wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Hades: "No but, don't forget that I have an invisible helmet, they won't find out."

Hades' deep black eyes stared at Hephaestus with a firm gaze.

The opponent's determination was directly conveyed to Hephaestus' heart. Thinking that he had an invisible helmet, Hephaestus was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Hearing this, Hades slightly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly: "I'll get the helmet, you go first, and I'll come after you soon." After Hephaestus nodded, he immediately moved away Return to the underworld as quickly as possible.

After Hades left, Hephaestus put away the note and walked out of the temple.

As soon as he walked outside the temple, he happened to meet Hermes who came to the temple.

Hermes stopped and asked first, "What did you find?"

Without saying a word, Hephaestus handed the note he had just received to Hermes, then patted him on the shoulder, and quickly left before the other party had time to read the contents of the note.

Bellesia, a huge island to the left of Sicily.Unlike the verdant and lush life scene on Sicily, Bellesia is more inclined to the primitive horror forest.

The turbid black mist surrounds the island at all times. There are no birds or beasts living in it. It is as deep as death. Looking down from the sky, it looks more like a huge maze that cannot be seen clearly.This island covered by thick smog is in stark contrast to the beautiful environment outside. Under such a strong contrast, no one or god would like to come here.Humans are because it is impossible to survive, while gods are unwilling to get involved.

Bolesia Island has also become a veritable abandoned dark island.

Before he got close to it, Hephaestus could feel the breath of death coming from the island, and the thick black mist seemed to be spreading around.

It really was an unpleasant place, Hephaestus slowed down, carefully approaching while observing.Compared with the deep environment of the underworld, the breath of death emanating from this island is even worse.

After all, there is a dark moon and tulips in the underworld. Although they are a little pale, they are still alive.What's more, there is Hades and some of his subordinates in the underworld, and those gods jointly maintain the laws of the underworld.

Thinking of the underworld, Hephaestus involuntarily looked back.It hasn't been too long since he came out of Karis' palace, but it's not too short. Hades hasn't come yet.

With the speed of Hades, it should be here.

Probably because there was something to deal with that slowed him down a lot.

Thinking of this, Hephaestus slowed down a bit.

When he was less than 200 meters away from Bellesia Island, Hephaestus looked back again, but he still didn't see Hades.

Thinking of what the other party said before he left, he would come as soon as possible, Hephaestus ignored the disappointment in his heart.After a moment of silence, just as he was about to go in by himself, he suddenly felt a familiar aura behind him.

The corner of Hephaestus' mouth raised unconsciously, and he turned around and said in a joyful tone that he didn't even notice, "I thought you weren't coming."

There was no figure of Hades behind him, but Hephaestus just felt that Hades was standing in front of him, where his eyes were watching.

Hades, wearing an invisible helmet, looked at Hephaestus who had found his direction accurately, and his eyes were extra soft: "Sorry, because of some things, I was a little late, but I finally caught up." Hades When he said this, his tone was still panting, obviously he came in such a hurry that his breath was a little unstable.

Hephaestus didn't ask him why, but just smiled and said, "Let's go."

"Okay." Hades replied softly, and entered the island of Bellesia side by side with Hephaestus.

Hephaestus covered his nose with his sleeve so as not to inhale the black mist.He quickly passed through the black mist surrounding the periphery of Bellesia Island, and what he saw was rows of huge and strangely shaped trees.Compared with the forest he and Hades traveled through before, this place is even more weird.

Because the two of them were already within the range of Bolesia Island, Hephaestus was not talking to Hades, as long as he knew that Hades would always be with him, and just stay by his side.After all, he didn't know if Helios and the others would observe him secretly somewhere.He walked forward cautiously, checking his surroundings as he walked.The note only said that he was asked to come to Bolesia Island, but did not mention the specific location on Bolesia Island.Hephaestus tentatively called Helios' name a few times, but after receiving no response from the other party, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue walking.

Surrounded by huge trees, there was a black turbid fog above, and the ground under his feet was covered with weeds. When Hephaestus stepped on it, the weeds passed directly over his knees.

And in this place where there is almost no life at all, the air is full of suffocating cold, and occasionally one or two strange sounds can be heard, like the cry of a child, or the curse of an adult.

Not normal, really not normal.

The reason why the underworld is cold is because there are dead spirits there, and their unwilling groans and shouts become one of the reasons for the horror of the underworld.However, here, even Hades couldn't feel any breath of undead. Without undead, the voices that sounded from time to time were even more strange.

Hephaestus didn't understand why Helios and the others chose such a place. Did they choose this place on purpose, or did they hide here in the first place?Hephaestus has no way of knowing, but the premonition that Helios will not harm him is gradually fading.

Until the weeds under his feet grew beyond his thighs, Hephaestus stopped, looking at the weeds in front of him that were almost taller than him, his heart tensed for a moment.A few more steps forward means that they will enter the depths of Bolesia Island.

Looking in from here, the weeds as high as the top of the head blocked the sight of Hephaestus and Hades, and almost blocked their progress.

Hephaestus concentrated his attention, and his eyes fell on the giant tree in the weeds. Then he jumped lightly and jumped onto the branches of the giant tree. Then he jumped again and landed firmly on the tree. on the next trunk.

Hades followed Hephaestus at a distance of a tree trunk. After a few cycles, Hephaestus had really entered the depths of Bolesia Island.

Hephaestus stopped again, and tentatively said, "Helios? I've reached the depths of Bolesia Island. Where are Karis and Hera?"

silence…

Deathly silence.

After Hephaestus finished speaking, there was no response.

It was eerily quiet, so quiet that he didn't even reply at all.

Hephaestus frowned, and after being silent for half a second, when he was about to try to shout again, thick smoke suddenly began to fill his surroundings.

White, not cloudy smoke at all.

Hephaestus's heart tightened, his whole body was on guard in the best state, and as long as there was any situation, he would attack immediately.

The white smoke gradually gathered into the weeds below. Standing on the tree trunk, Hephaestus clearly felt the temperature difference between his feet and his body.Below him, the white smoke gathered more and more, almost covering the weeds, and at the same time, the temperature below was slowly increasing.

And at this moment, a strong and dazzling white light penetrated the black turbid smoke above with lightning speed, and shot straight at Hephaestus.

Hephaestus' eyes froze, he stepped back abruptly, and flew to the tree trunk where Hades was standing behind.

Seeing Hephaestus fall steadily to his side, Hades breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he almost couldn't control himself and stepped forward to help just now.Fortunately, in the last half second, he thought of Hephaestus telling him not to make a move unless it was absolutely necessary, so he forced himself to stop him deeply.

Fortunately, Hephaestus is all right.

Hades restrained his mind and turned his gaze forward.After the white light penetrated the tree trunk where Hephaestus was originally standing, it was suddenly divided into dozens of beams of white light from the original beam, and then shot into the weeds covered by the white smoke.

Almost in the blink of an eye, several streaks of intense white light penetrated the black turbid mist, and when they were about to approach the weeds, each of them was divided into dozens of beams of light, and then shot into the white smoke.

Hephaestus saw this kind of intense white light once, and it appeared with the appearance of Helios when the gods confronted him after Typhon escaped.

So these white lights are caused by Helios?

Almost immediately after realizing this, Hephaestus swept around.

And the moment he looked around, from the white smoke below, a dazzling and dazzling light suddenly appeared.

Hephaestus half-closed his eyes subconsciously, blocking the white light with his hands.

When he put down his hand, the scene in front of him made him freeze on the spot.
