King of Underworld - Chapter 116



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

Sabbath of the Underworld – (1)

After receiving the confirmation from Nix, I sat on the throne in the castle and let out a sigh.

I thought it wouldn’t be easy to persuade those who had turned away from the world, but I never thought they would ask me to receive a token from Uranus.

The feather in my arms feels heavy.

Some may wonder if it is really necessary to persuade Nix…

He imprisoned all the Titans in Tartarus,

Typhon was also imprisoned with his head and body separated,

Gaia also killed countless Gigas,

Last time, didn’t Hephaestus impregnate Gaia?

Hmm. Gaia’s wrath will be sky-high.

Certainly, it is necessary to convince Nix.

“Lord Hades. Hermes and the Horae goddesses have arrived from Olympus.”

“Have you come to see Dike who has moved to the afterlife? Everyone, come in.”

The Horae goddesses were the daughters of Zeus and Themis, and consisted of three sisters.

Excluding Dike, it was definitely… Eunomia, the goddess of order, and Eirene, the goddess of peace.

They all had similar personalities, so maybe they were all Dike’s sisters.

Eunomia lamented the disorder of this world… and Eirene didn’t like Ares very much.

“Hello, Uncle Hades. I brought all the Horai sisters this time!”

“Hello, Hades…”

“It’s been a long time, Your Majesty the King of the Underworld.”

After greeting them appropriately, we got straight to the point.

“Can I ask where Dike is? What troubles he might be going through…”

“Even though I told you not to, I went to the underworld to get justice…”

“Listen. Guide them to where Dike is.”

“Thank you, Hades!”

“I wonder if Dickey is doing better than expected?”

He entrusted the messenger with guiding him to meet Dike.

They left straight away to see Dike, as if to prove the deep bond between sisters.

Now I saw the messenger god who had been standing still.

“Hermes. Tell Olympus. He must receive the sign of Uranus in order to gain Nyx’s help against Gaia.”

“Huh?! Are you talking about Nyx, the goddess of the night? And what about Uranus…!”

Hermes’ pupils dilated in great confusion,

The more he listens to my explanation, the more his expression becomes filled with shock.

“It just so happened. I kept persuading him to have a private meeting, and I got a definitive answer on the spot.”

“The condition is to receive the token of Lord Uranus…”

“Yes, tell Zeus that we must find Uranus, who has now disappeared.”

“Okay! I’ll tell my father this news right away.”

Hermes was also sent, and while the Horai goddesses were there to see Dike,

I’ll check to see if she’s adjusting well to the afterlife.

I’m sure Dekeni, who has been working day and night to realize justice in this world, is doing well…

* * *

“Lord Hades, it is not fair that there is so much work to be done.”

“…Then that’s right.”

“I ask the God of Fairness that the underworld be granted a fair rest like Olympus.”

I was able to meet Dicke, who had become haggard in the afterlife’s office.

Whenever you say you want to come to the afterlife… Well, I understand because I didn’t know the reality of this place at the time.

“Ugh… sniff. Dickey. Your face is half gone…”

“So why did you say you were going to the afterlife?”

Next to Dike, Eunomia and Eirene were crying sadly.

It was a bonus that he occasionally looked this way and threw a look of resentment.

“Lord Hades… no, Grandfather. Please save our Dike.”

“Ugh… It’s like you’ve been to Tartarus…”

Finally, the various deities residing in the underworld, with faces that seem to ask what the problem is, are located a little further away.

The facial expressions of the goddess Styx, Medusa, Persephone… especially Thanatos were truly spectacular.

“Huh. We’ve always been like this? How much have we been playing and eating on Olympus?”

“…? I don’t know because I haven’t been to Olympus, but how comfortable is it there?”

“This is not Olympus…”

“It’s like this now, but if I had to experience harvesting souls every day for just a month, I’d be really upset. Tsk. Young people these days…”

If a god who has been working somewhere else comes to the afterlife, he always reacts the same way.

I thought that Dike, who came to the afterlife for justice, would be different, but she is no different.

“Eunomia, Eirene. If you’re that worried about Dike, why don’t you come to the afterlife too? It seems like it would be a good fit for the afterlife, with its order and peace.”

“Ah. Ah. No! How unpeaceful this place is… No, that’s not it!”

“It’s not hard to find order in the office… no.”

What? The afterlife is not peaceful and it is hard to find order?

I don’t know if my eyes have become tense without me knowing, but they flinch as they look at me.

Phew. Anyway, from the perspective of the gods of Olympus, the underworld was a very difficult place.

The appearance of Dike, who seems to be under the influence of Thanatos’ power, and the workload, which has been a constant problem up until now, are also issues.

“…I guess I should make a holiday.”

“Holiday? Hades. If you miss even one day of work, you’ll be in serious trouble…”

“I need rest, but then my soul gets ruined during that day?”

The gods who immediately question me as soon as I start talking to myself.

This was the reason why the gods of the underworld grumbled every day but did not let go of their work.

Take a day off from work in this place that deals with souls, death, reincarnation, and judgment?

The world’s circulation is immediately thrown into disarray, and protests are coming from Olympus.

The soul of a newborn baby is not inhabited, and the dead must continue to wait in front of the River Acheron.

so…

“Thanatos, wouldn’t it be a little easier if there were fewer dying humans?”

“That’s true, but…”

“Let’s consult with Olympus and decide on a day of rest for the whole world. What if the gods of war stop fighting for a moment and issue an oracle that anyone who commits murder on that day will suffer a disadvantage in the afterlife?”

“Hmm… Should I accept it at Olympus?”

“Eirene, you, the goddess of peace, need to help me too.”

You can’t completely rest, but if you can do light work at least once a month, you’ll feel better, right?

I’m sure even Charon, the boatman of the Acheron River, would love that.

“Let’s contact Olympus first. Let’s tell Poseidon to make sure that there are fewer people caught in the rough waves that day…”

Letters were sent out here and there asking for a day of rest, and replies were soon received.

Zeus’ answer was that since this was a matter of worldly concern, they should meet at Olympus.

So many voices cheering me on as I head to Olympus.

“I’ll just trust Hades. I’ll make sure to get a day off from Zeus!”

“God of mercy and justice…!”

“If you don’t listen to my demands, I’m prepared to take the worst option.”

“…The fate of the underworld rests with Hades.”

I felt such earnest sincerity that it warmed my heart and brought tears to my eyes.

“…I will definitely persuade everyone, even if it means using threats.”

If this happens, I’ll have to open Tartarus.

* * *

A little later, the Olympus Palace.

The Olympian gods gathered by a letter sent by Hades.

They came to a meeting to discuss the proposal to create a holiday to reduce the number of deaths, and as soon as they arrived, they gasped in the stuffy air.

“Ahem…”

“uh…”

Because Hades, the king of the underworld who sent this letter, was saying with his whole body that he would definitely make a holiday.

Hades’ eyes flashed sinisterly as he leaned his face against the table in the spacious conference room, his hands clasped together.

Everyone was left speechless by the gloom that had set the mood without any pressure from the divine power.

Zeus, who was under Hera’s displeasure, started the meeting.

“Ahem! Then, we will now begin discussing the rest day proposed by the underworld.”

“The sea doesn’t matter, Zeus. Just don’t make any big waves.”

“I know how hard the work of the underworld is. I agree. Even the blacksmiths should rest on that day…”

Poseidon and Hephaestus readily agreed.

But the God of War looks a little embarrassed…

“That. Uncle Hades. But stopping in the middle of a war is a bit…”

“Then will you come to the afterlife and help me with the work? Thanatos will be pleased.”

“Huh…! No.”

…was suppressed while trying to express it.

“If it’s a day off, will I have to cancel my festival too?”

“During the four regular festivals of madness, the dead come to the underworld. Charon the Elder gnashes his teeth…”

“…I will give you a trust and postpone it a little to avoid the holidays.”

As expected, Dionysus, the god of madness, gave his opinion and then lowered his eyes to the floor again.

Zeus, the king of the gods, looked around and opened his mouth as he exchanged opinions with Hera, who was sitting next to him.

“Well then. How many holidays do you think it would be good to have? Once or twice a year?”

“Never more than once or twice a year. Do you not know how the gods are worked in the underworld, Zeus? They need to rest at least once a month.”

“Uncle Hades is right. After visiting the underworld last time, I realized that periodic rest is necessary.”

“Athena. So when do you think we should make a holiday?”

“But the gods who watch over Gigas must continue to exist. As we go back…”

“Then can I take a day off that day too?”

“Hermes. You must fulfill your duty as a messenger.”

The gods gathered at the Olympus Palace discussed for a long time to narrow down their opinions.

Could it be that light is finally shining on the gods in the afterlife? It is still unknown.
