King of Underworld - Chapter 125

The One Who Aims at the Mistress of the Underworld – (1)

Hercules felt a distinct change in gaze.

When he captured the Nemean lion, there were people who praised him as a hero…

Because now it was showing a variety of reactions.

“That guy is…”

“Lion skin… golden sword at his waist. It’s Hercules.”

“Could it be that he was exaggerating his own achievements with lies? How could a human be…”

“Shh! Shh! There are rumors that a god has appeared on Earth.”

“Looking at your body, you seem to have used some strength… but you really fought and killed Hydra, Chrysaor, and Lamia at the same time?”

Maybe it was because he had such an unrealistic achievement that he saw all kinds of people.

Those who look at heroes with jealousy and even suspicion. Those who believe them to be gods incarnated on earth.

The public gaze is filled with awe, admiration, jealousy and suspicion.

“Are you Hercules? Hmm. I can’t believe that thing you’re wearing… is something you took off the Nemean Lion.”

Yes, these people would appear often.

A look of fighting spirit. A desire to defeat a famous hero.

Hercules ignored the man who blocked his path and grabbed his shoulder as he passed by.

In the first place, I was on my way to report to Hera’s temple, and I also had to receive teachings from Master Chiron.

“Hercules, you must not prey on the weak.”

“Mr. Chiron, but if those guys attack me first, I can’t help it…”

“But let’s end it on an appropriate note.”

“Why should I do that?”

“If you want to become a hero, great strength is enough. But according to Hades, isn’t your goal to become a god? If you treat mortals harshly just because they are a slight annoyance, you will never receive sincere admiration even after becoming a god. Well, you might not be able to become a god, after all.”

Actually, the biggest thing I felt was that it was just annoying.

The man who was trying to catch Hercules, who was just ignoring him and passing by, was lightly pushed back by his strength,

He looked at his hands and at him with a dumbfounded face.

Hercules still couldn’t quite understand.

What does becoming a god have to do with the sincere adoration of humans?

Anyway, the only thing you can receive is praise if you catch some monsters and do some light work in front of other humans, except for him.

“Look at that… The author who won the Pankration last time got pushed out right away…”

“Oh my goodness. You’re no match for my strength.”

From the time he was born until now… the praise and admiration directed at him have always been familiar.

Do I really need this? I don’t feel so good or anything.

But I had a feeling that to achieve his goals, simply accomplishing tasks would not be enough.

Something. Something is needed… No, isn’t a god the best in one field?

“Thank you Zeus for giving us clear skies today…”

“Pluto, god of justice…”

Hercules, who had been watching the praise being paid to his father and uncle, took a step forward.

Still, I don’t know.

Pirithous.

He was the king of Thessaly and a close friend of Theseus, who was widely known in Athens as a hero of wisdom.

When his wife died giving birth to a son, Pirithous decided to marry again.

Kill the Minotaur, a monster from Crete that was half human and half bull…

He asked for help from his friend Theseus, who was happily married to Ariadne, the princess of Crete.

“Pirithous. You need my help?”

“Well, Theseus. Aren’t you already married? Your wife just died, and I was wondering if you could help me find a new wife.”

“If it’s your request, I can do it. Please explain in detail.”

Theseus readily agreed.

The fact that he was friendly with the King of Thessaly was also a great help, as it was a request from a close friend.

But the woman Peiris was after was a little special.

“I want to marry the beautiful Goddess of Spring, can you help me?”

“what…?”

“The beauty of the goddess born from the goddess Demeter and the god Zeus was famous even in this world.”

Theseus doubted his ears for a moment.

He was dumbfounded by the fact that his best friend was after a goddess who wasn’t even human.

I was once again struck by the fact that the goddess was known as the wife of Pluto, the lord of the underworld.

“…Just give up.”

“Why are you saying that? I am the king of Thessaly. There is no reason why I shouldn’t have a connection with a goddess.”

“Are you out of your mind, aiming for the goddess known as the mistress of the underworld? Change your mind now.”

“I didn’t know you were this fearful.”

“No, I’m not scared. If you listen to what I have to say, you’ll understand.”

Theseus sighed and began his story.

Theseus, now an adult, emerges from the training camp of the underworld.

He was on his way to slay all sorts of villains, monsters, and the Minotaur, and escaped to his hometown with Ariadne, the princess of Crete.

To be exact, while crossing to Athens by boat, he stopped at an island…

“There. You lowly human.”

“Who… who… are you?”

“I am Dionysus. The wine you drink every day is my grace.”

One late night, a god appeared before Theseus, who was tending the campfire while leaving Ariadne asleep.

And that was none other than Dionysus, one of the 12 Olympian gods, the ruler of wine and madness.

“How beautiful is the princess of Crete, Ariadne!”

“Yes? But…”

“That woman has been chosen to be my wife.”

“Yes…?! What do you mean…!”

“You don’t understand what I’m saying. I have chosen you as my chosen one, so I’m telling you to leave the island and go far away.”

Even though Theseus was a great hero who killed the Minotaur… his opponent was a god.

These are also the words of the 12 gods who govern madness.

I can’t go against it. Should I just lose Ariadne like this?

Salvation has arrived to a man who has fallen into such despair.

Because a woman with a blindfold and holding a sword and scales walked out from behind Dionysus.

“You get out.”

“What?! Who dares… Dickey?!”

“…Hades told me to tell you that if you ever covet a human who already has a lover, he told you to bring him to the underworld.”

“Eww! What the hell… crunch.”

Theseus, who heard the conversation between the gods, was able to understand the situation.

He had just been about to have his wife stolen by Dionysus, but the goddess of justice, Dike, appeared and saved him.

That the one who sent the goddess was the lord of the underworld, renowned for fairness and mercy.

The goddess of justice, who had chased away Dionysus, smiled at Theseus.

The hero, relieved by that compassionate smile, bowed his head and asked.

“I… did Pluto really send you, Goddess?”

“The Lord of the Underworld is busy. I just borrowed his name.”

“Oh, really…! Thank you so much, Goddess Dike!”

“But it was thanks to Hades that I was able to send Dionysus back. If something like this happens again, seek help from Hades’ temple.”

“Thank you so much, Pluto…”

Well, that’s true. Even though she’s the goddess of justice, her opponents are the twelve gods of Olympus.

If it weren’t for the protection of the Lord of the Underworld, the god of madness wouldn’t have retreated so easily.

Theseus returned safely to his hometown of Athens with Ariadne and became king.

Immediately he built statues of the gods Pluto and Dike.

The city of Athens was a city that worshipped only the goddess of wisdom…

He could explain his situation to the temple of the goddess Athena and ask for permission.

From then on, Theseus’ faith was directed not only to the goddess of wisdom, but also to the mistress of the underworld and the goddess of justice.

Theseus, king of Athens, explained all this to Pirithous.

He thought that he would not target the wife of Pluto, who had done him great favor as his close friend.

But Pirithous didn’t care at all.

“Ugh… So you’re saying you can’t help me? I’m so disappointed in you for being such a coward.”

“No, I’m not a coward…! Ha…”

“Okay. Okay. There is a way to take Persephone as my wife even without your help.”

Theseus beat his chest in frustration.

How can a human desire a goddess, especially the mistress of the underworld?

And even if you sleep with the goddess Persephone, her father is Zeus and her mother is Demeter…

When Pirithous dies, isn’t the master of the underworld she will go to her husband?

Despite Theseus’ continued persuasion, Pirithous remains unwavering.

His eyes were filled with ambition to take Persephone as his wife at any cost.

Theseus, feeling that he could no longer persuade him, put his hand on his forehead and asked him.

“No, then how on earth do you plan to take Persephone as your wife?”

“It’s simple.”

The king of Thessaly speaks with a confident voice.

Theseus looked at his friend, or rather, the delusional madman, with a sullen expression.

“If I go down to the underworld and tell Hades, ‘I plan to hold a feast in my kingdom, and I would like to invite Persephone, who is renowned for her beauty,’ then if I were to bring Persephone, who was fooled by my words, back to the living world, and immediately get married…”

Srrrrung-

“Have you ever seen such a crazy guy!”

Theseus quickly drew the sword at his waist.
