Bacchus in Greek mythology

Putting Ampoulos on the bed in the castle, staring at his bloodless lips, rubbing them lightly, Dio was silent for a while, then turned and left.

Walking out of the gate of the castle, the leisurely and happy people stood in the square in front of him and looked at him. Hermes stood aside, silent.

Dionysus slowly inspected the crowd in front of him, then raised his arm, a dark green cane was transformed into the empty palm, the huge purple-red diamond on the top showed his sharpness, and he did not hide his sharpness under the sun. cutting edge.

Suddenly, the scepter of Dionysus reflected a light that was bigger than the sun. No one dared to look directly at the scepter of Dionysus, and Hermes could not accept such a dazzling light, but the humans in front of him cheered loudly when the light appeared.

It was really loud, already harsh cheers. Hermes felt his ears swell and had to frown. At this moment, Dio turned around and asked Hermes, "Where is the entrance to the underworld?"

Hermes looked at him silently, and then looked at the fanatical people behind him, "Dionysus, they are human beings."

"I know. Where is the entrance to the underworld?"

Human beings will turn into undead when they enter the underworld, and then they can never go out again. This is not a little secret among the gods, but something that the whole world knows. Dionysus knows it, and those people know it too.

The humans behind saw him not speaking for a long time, and even yelled loudly, urging him to answer quickly.Hermes looked at the loudest person, hooked the corners of his lips, and said to Dio, "In Erebus, through the dark forest there, you can see the gate of the underworld. A bearded boatman stands in your way, don't fight him, he may look inconspicuous, but Hades put him there to guard the gate, there must be something special about him. Cross the river of pain, pass The garden of Persephone, go straight ahead, pass through the field of truth, you can see the palace of the underworld, and next to it, there is the Paradise of Elysees and the hell of Tartarus, where the undead are located.”

This area is the territory of God Pan, and there are forests everywhere. Erebos is also a forest, also known as the Dark Forest. It is not far from Peroca. Even humans can get there in a few hours.

Remembering what Hermes said, Dionysus turned and was about to leave, but Hermes stopped him again.

The footsteps stopped, and Hermes looked at Dio's back, and it took him a long time to say: "Even if you go, you may not be able to bring him back. I hope you will forget about that person after this hard work. "

There is no encouragement for success, only comfort for failure.Dio paused, looking forward, "I will not forget, and I will not leave him there."

Watching him and the people leave, Hermes lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, there was no one in the palace anymore, and he didn't use his wings, but walked out step by step.When he was about to walk out of Peroca, the river suddenly fluctuated irregularly. Hermes smiled at the river, as if he was signaling to someone, two pairs of wings appeared on his heels, tapped the ground, and he flew into the sky.

Dionysus responded, and when he and the believers walked towards Erebus, more and more people joined their camp. They didn't know where they were going, and they only followed the footsteps of Dionysus.

Came to Erebos, through the large black forest, the single dark color here is enough to make everyone gloomy, but the people behind seem not affected at all, they have been singing loudly, driving away The panic brought by the dark forest, dancing open and close, resisting the cold that is getting deeper and deeper into the bones.

Hearing the movement from afar, Charon swung the boat back to the opposite bank. There were still a few undead waiting to cross the river on the bank, but he ignored them. Listening to the singing that was getting closer, Charon frowned more and more.

Except for the occasional siren singing, there has never been such a cheerful singing in the underworld, and the undead also raised their heads, following the source of the singing with empty eyes.Persephone looked at Hades who was sleeping soundly. Although she was in the depths of the underworld, she heard it too. She smiled silently. Persephone went to her closet and stroked each piece of gorgeous clothes, all of which were all of the same color. of dark color.

Fingers rested on a dark blue dress, Pearl smiled with satisfaction, the guests came, and it was necessary to dress well.

The Siren and Achilles stood together, the noisy, chaotic, and sharp voices came from far and near, the Siren could no longer stand, and without the support of Ampoulos, she could hardly get out of bed.Achilles supported her and slowly sat down beside the black poplar. The black poplar opened a pair of big eyes, but did not speak.He is using all his roots to find the source of these voices.

The gates of the underworld are always open, and Hades doesn't care who comes in, he only forbids people to go out.But seeing such a scene, Charon couldn't help but be surprised. Although he didn't know Dionysus, he knew that the Dionysian staff that resounded through the world was right in front of his eyes, bringing the sun's light to the underworld.

The diamond on the Dionysian staff made Charon dazed, but he quickly reacted and stopped Dionysus.

"God of Dionysus, if you want to come in, please show the permission of Zeus or Hades, and let me see their seals."

The believers behind are standing outside the gate of the underworld, and they will not come in without the order of Dionysus.Charon looked at these people vigilantly. The Dionysus battle did not look like a guest. Charon put his hands behind his back, and when he had to, he could only use force.

Seeing his movement, Dio snorted slightly, and the huge divine wings appeared immediately, but the divine wings with faint light were extremely conspicuous in the underworld. The river was lifted up by him, and the smelly river water turned into a wall, blocking Dio with almost no dead ends. He frowned at Charon on the ground, and Charon looked back at him not to be outdone.

Everyone knows Charon the boatman, but no one knows that Charon is also the son of Nereus, the ancient sea god. He voluntarily followed Hades and stayed in the dark underworld.Pearl said he was too loyal, but the siren said he was interested in Hades' endless wealth.The reason for this is unknown to outsiders except Charon himself.

Only then did Dio understand what Hermes meant by not fighting hard. It turned out that the gatekeeper of Hades was a sea god. He was only slightly surprised, but he didn't pay attention to Charon.Timing is everything to Dio, and Dio is upset that someone is blocking his way.

No longer stingy with effort, he pointed the cane at the river of pain in front of him. The halo stretched from the top of the Dionysian staff to the entire river. There were some undead in the river who couldn't go anywhere. They howled miserably, as if What was burning their souls, Charon watched Dionysus's movements in horror, and after understanding what he wanted to do, he immediately pulled the river of pain back, but it seemed to be fixed, Charon No matter how you pull it, it won't move.

Looking again, Charon discovered that the original blood had been turned into wine.

Charon gasped, did he even know what he had done!

The river of pain carries the undead who cannot cross the river, but they are not sinners, and one day they will receive mercy, and then go to the place they really should go, but now that the river of pain is gone, those undead will naturally disappear up.

This is despising the rule of Hades, despising the rules of the world, and easily making countless undead disappear. Charon's eyes widened. Doesn't this god have any mercy!

There were many methods in the past, and of course Charon couldn't beat him in a fight, but he chose the most extreme, cruel, and fastest method to make the River of Pain disappear.

Dio didn't care about Charon's surprise, and immediately flew to the depths of the underworld. The believers behind him applauded his behavior. Charon watched his leaving back, gradually put away his surprised expression, and turned serious .

The black poplar tree could sense the movement of the gate, and his heart became more and more nervous. When he saw a figure about to fly by, the siren's pupils suddenly grew bigger, and his body shrank back, and a large leaf hit him. Siren looked up in a daze.

The black poplar tree turned all the densest branches on its body to block the siren's body, so tight that even Achilles couldn't see that there was a person.

After a while, Charon also passed by here. Judging by his anxious appearance, he probably wanted to go to Tartarus Hell. After all, there were all the Titans who wanted revenge all the time.

Achilles hid behind the fence and watched Charon pass by before he returned inside. The black poplar tree spread its branches silently, Siren helped him stand up, and Achilles helped her: "Let's go, now the gate No one is watching anymore."

The siren froze for a moment, then looked back at the black poplar, and the black poplar also looked at her. After staring at each other for a while, the siren shook her head: "Wait a little longer."

Achilles frowned: "What are you waiting for?"

The siren lowered her head, her voice was cold: "Wait until the curse is broken."

Because of Pearl, the siren is actually free in the underworld, and Hades can't control her. If she could go out, she would have gone out long ago. It is not Hades but Demeter who locked her here.She doesn't need to hide from Charon either, because no one will stop her.

The siren sat down again, leaning against the black poplar.Achilles was silent, but had to stand still and wait patiently.

Meanwhile, Dio had arrived where he wanted to go, the residence of Hades.

Dio hasn't lost all his sanity yet, he knows that if Hades is willing to let Ampoulos go, that would be great, if he doesn't agree, Dio will use the last resort.

However, after arriving, he frowned and looked at the person in front of him.Slowly falling down, retracting the divine wings, he looked at the wide open palace door behind him, and then greeted the person in front of him: "Persephone."

Pearl smiled, looking extremely elegant, "Long time no see, Dionysus."
