King of Underworld - Chapter 119

The Labors of Hercules

After reporting the situation to Olympus, he went straight down to the underworld and headed for Tartarus.

As we approached Tartarus… just like last time, a black darkness descended and Lady Nyx appeared.

“Welcome. Have you brought the token of Uranus?”

“Yes. He gave me a lock of his own hair.”

As before, he looked at her face, which was as beautiful as the night sky, and took out a silver thread from his bosom.

Swish

“I can smell the scent of the dark sky, so it must be Uranus’ hair.”

“So are you going to help us now?”

The Goddess of the Night answers my question with a playful smile.

“Haha… But you’re still okay? I thought Uranus would swing his fists at me without warning…”

“For a moment, the heavens were hostile to me. But they still looked after me and I was able to pass the exam without any problems.”

A sight that makes you realize once again how important it is to persuade Nix.

Even Zeus can create storms with the winds between the stars. Even Nana and Poseidon can attack with that much power.

But only the Protogenoids can bring about such disaster with a playful, light gesture.

No matter how much humans praise us, the Olympian gods, as absolute beings, the only true absolute being in this world is the primordial god Chaos.

It is only natural that his power would be so great, since his closest bloodline is the Protogenoi, like Gaia.

“Hmm… I brought the sign of Uranus like I said, so I should keep my promise.”

“…!”

“If you defeat the children called Gigas and Gaia appears, then I will help you. However…”

The goddess of the night who momentarily blurs the end of her words.

As the darkness surrounding me grew thicker, I heard voices coming from all directions.

“If you seek my help when you are being pushed and defeated by those Gigas, I, not Gaia, will punish you.”

“…I will keep that in mind.”

The thick darkness disappeared without a trace after Nix’s last words.

The corners of my mouth are clearly looking at the place where the Goddess of the Night was.

He must be smiling with conversion in his eyes.

A worldwide holiday, called ‘Thanatos Day’ by the people of this world.

Once a month, a day to enjoy a break from death had a significant impact on the afterlife.

An oracle that designated that day as an official holiday in all temples built throughout the world.

A day when capital punishment is prohibited and conflict is discouraged.

Even the gods of war put down their weapons for a moment, and the goddess of peace unleashed her power.

Naturally, the number of dead people coming to the underworld has decreased by less than half…

Accordingly, an unusually harmonious atmosphere spread widely in the afterlife.

“…How can things end this quickly?”

“Even though it’s the first holiday since the oracle was issued, the number of dead people has decreased this much.”

“Isn’t it because it’s Thanatos Day that humans avoid death?”

Overall, I feel like I have a lot more free time and it feels peaceful.

On this day, even the gods restrained themselves a bit and enjoyed the day, so there were almost no humans who died as punishment.

According to the news brought by Hermes,

The goddess of peace, Eirene, is very grateful to me.

“I just want to rest a little, Grandfather…”

“…Iris and you are still having a hard time.”

“I’m having a hard time, even if it’s not as much as Lord Charon or Lord Thanatos…”

Of course, there were exceptions, such as Hermes, Charon, and Thanatos, who still could not rest.

Should I say that things have gotten a little easier now that there’s less work to do?

Actually, that applies to me too.

Work has slowed down a bit… but I can’t completely rest.

But where is this? If it were like before, I would have been on standby every day, let alone once a month.

It was only a few days ago that I was worried that a war might suddenly break out in this world, even during a banquet…

Whenever an epidemic broke out, everyone cursed Apollo, the god of disease and medicine.

Anyway, I have a lot of free time now. That means…

Churp… Um…

“…Take a break, Styx.”

The point is that I can also spend some sweet time with the goddesses.

Overtime must be over. When the Goddess Styx, who was holding nectar and setting the mood while I was closing my eyes on the throne, suddenly smacked me in the lips, I was taken aback, but fortunately, I was able to respond quickly with the speed of a god.

After such a sweet time… it had to end. But you wouldn’t get off my lap.

Her hand gently touching my chest and her seductively smiling face. Then, the voluptuous and soft sensation that clings to me.

At that moment, when I was feeling intoxicated by the increasingly heated atmosphere… I heard the goddess’s words in my ears.

“Hades. I…”

“…?”

“Then… yes? Can I continue…? I have time today…”

What? What… are you going to continue?

I looked at her with trembling eyes for a moment, and as if she understood it as permission, her hand reached down…

“Lord Hades, this is a regular report from the wise Chiron. Hercules has returned to the living world… Uh…!”

“ah.”

“Why… why at that moment! This… the mood is completely ruined!”

“The news about Hercules was a regular report, so there was nothing I could do…”

The goddess of the River Styx, who was threatening to punish the messenger who had just struck his head on the throne after seeing the situation in the audience room at a glance, was barely able to stop her.

Not only was her face bright red, but there were also small tears forming in the corners of her eyes.

Her clenched fists tremble. If you bite your lips like that, they’ll bleed…

Swish.

He reached out his rough hands and carefully wiped the beads from his eyes.

Then, the goddess, who had been sighing with her mouth open for a moment, came closer… Is it another kiss?

I flinched, thinking that the lip-slapping we had earlier was happening again, but her lips turned to my ear and whispered sweet, beautiful words.

“Let’s continue next time, okay?”

“…Yes. That’s right.”

It was an offer I couldn’t refuse.

The small, emaciated goddess stepped out of the citadel and looked back at the messenger’s report, who had just nearly suffered an eternity of suffering.

The story of Hercules’ departure to the underworld is said to have been approved by the goddess Megara.

Even though I can’t defeat the goddess of vengeance, I guess I’ve managed to land a punch?

As we headed straight for Chiron’s Hero Training Center, a deep, hollowed-out ravine came into view.

The size of a giant’s fist. A mark of destruction so large that it’s hard to believe it was caused by human power.

The goddess Megara is waiting for me in front of it.

The snake hairs I hadn’t seen in a long time greeted me with a swoosh.

“Was that pit really made by Hercules?”

“huh…”

Let’s listen to the story of the goddess of vengeance for a moment. It was clear how much Hercules had grown.

“At first, he just pushed forward with brute force, but when he wasn’t sparring with me, he was always with Chiron…”

“Since you can’t defeat the goddess with strength, you learned something called technique.”

“He was incredibly talented. I can see why Hades threw him into the River Styx…”

Of course, until recently it was impossible to harm the Goddess of Vengeance… but it is said that the time it took to withstand the attacks she threw from time to time has increased.

Instead of enduring the attack with skin strengthened by the power of the River Styx, he deflected the attack and received it with his skills.

“I plan to watch him as he goes to Hera’s temple. Would you like to come with me?”

“Hera won’t punish me, right?”

“…Maybe.”

Since you said so, you wouldn’t kill me, right?

Lee Seung. Hercules, who came out to Thebes, took a deep breath of fresh air.

How much has happened in the afterlife so far?

He met many friends who were not afraid of him, and served the wise Chiron as his teacher.

I have spoken with the great lord of the underworld, and have sparred with one of the goddesses of vengeance.

“Hoo…”

Even though Hercules had endured so many hardships, he was still a little afraid of Hera’s divine punishment that was to come.

As Hades said, I should go to Hera’s temple and ask for forgiveness…

The power of the gods I felt during the fight with the goddess Megara was truly amazing.

Neither the river god nor the forest god, but one of the three goddesses of vengeance. So how strong would be the power of Hera, the so-called queen of the gods?

But the assignment He will give you will be of great help in your journey to becoming a God.

It was Hercules who arrived at Hera’s temple with such a firm resolve.

Once he entered the temple, he tried to ask for forgiveness in front of the statue of the goddess…

“I am Hercules, and I have come from Thebes to ask for forgiveness from the goddess.”

“Please wait a moment. You cannot come in.”

“No. Why can’t I go in?”

“There was an oracle from Hera that told me never to let you in.”

Naturally, Hera noticed this and blocked them from entering the temple.

Looking at the stubborn gaze of the priest blocking his way, was it really an oracle?

“So you are telling me to stop asking for forgiveness outside the temple?”

“…He didn’t say anything about that.”

After hearing the priest’s words, Hercules knelt on the ground in front of Hera’s temple and prostrated himself.

It was as if he was asking for forgiveness at the temple of Hera, so the priest didn’t say much…

Four weeks later, Hercules felt a serious crisis.

He had a body as trained as a god and skin tempered with the steel Styx…

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.

“Ugh…! Smell! What the heck is that?!”

“Leave him alone. He is a sinner who has done something wrong and is repenting to Lady Hera. It’s already been four weeks.”

“Then what is that? All the birds and animals around here are defecating there!”

“Shh! Shh! That must be divine punishment.”

“Ugh… the smell. It smells disgusting even inside the temple. Is this it?!”

“I must pray to Hera that the sinner has repented his sins. Because of the smell, I cannot…”

“What on earth did I do wrong…”

Because my sense of smell has not been trained at all.

‘What the hell.’
