King of Underworld - Chapter 130

Sea Monster Charybdis – (1)

Deep under the sea, Poseidon’s palace.

I, Hades, was enjoying a banquet in Poseidon’s palace at his invitation.

Because I was spending a comfortable time in the afterlife, resting my head on Styx’s lap, when the letter arrived.

I came to the sea wondering what was going on this time…

“Hades. Anyway, I want to send my children to the underworld.”

“Would the proud gods listen to Master Chiron? And don’t you love your children very much?”

What kind of whim is this, wanting to educate one’s own children, of course gods and not demigods, in the afterlife?

Perhaps it’s because of the friction I had with Ares last time. People, no, gods, seem different.

As I stared at him, the master of the sea stroked his beard, picked up a glass of nectar, and downed it in one gulp.

Poseidon’s gaze glanced over the gods and beasts gathered in the banquet hall before passing by.

“That’s only to a certain extent, didn’t I say that last time? Everyone except Triton…”

“Will anyone die or get hurt this time?”

“Just listen to my story for a moment.”

He slowly began to talk about his children.

Well… I have a giant son named Antaeus, and he likes to compete with people passing by, and then…

He killed all the people who were loyal to him and sacrificed their bodies to Poseidon?

“You are very considerate of me, but the problem is that you are receiving a lot of complaints from the citizens around you.”

“If he is a giant’s son, who is his mother?”

“Gaia.”

What? Have a relationship with Gaia and have children?

The case of Hephaestus is completely different.

The other child of Poseidon and Gaia, the king serpent Python, was born before we fought Gaia.

But if the giant I just mentioned was born recently…

Saaaah-

I glared at him and drew my strength. The sea is Poseidon’s domain. It doesn’t seem like a trap, though…

I was thinking about taking out the viand, but Poseidon put down his glass and waved his hand urgently.

“Wait a minute. I swear on the River Styx that I have not turned to Gaia. The children I have with Gaia were born a long time ago.”

“A very long time ago?”

“Yeah, that’s why Gaia tried to persuade me last time. Huh… She probably thought I’d fall for it just because we mixed our bodies a little.”

If it’s a very long time ago, then maybe it was the beginning? Or maybe it was the child born with Python.

Anyway, I swore on the River Styx, so it must be true.

“Hmm. Hmm. Anyway, I have many other sore fingers besides Antaeus. Charybdis…”

“Your daughter, who Zeus is angry with? Could that child also be Gaia’s?”

He nodded.

Charybdis.

She was the eldest daughter of Poseidon, but because of her enormous gluttony, she ate nectar and ambrosia indiscriminately.

There is an anecdote that Zeus, angry at this, threw her into the sea by shooting lightning.

Last time I heard this anecdote, I just thought she was a goddess with a big appetite and passed it over.

She was the daughter of Gaia and Poseidon. But if she was the eldest daughter, wouldn’t she have been born around the same time as Triton or before him?

This is the problem with working in the dark and gloomy underground world.

Often times, we do not know the exact information or we are late in hearing the news that has become a topic of conversation among the gods.

Of course, I didn’t have time to worry about that either…

“Whew… Just thinking about that time makes me really angry at Zeus…”

“She must have been a very cherished daughter.”

“Of course, Zeus, the eldest daughter whom he would not mind putting in his eyes. Tsk. How about taking an interest in the news of this world?”

“Then why Charybdis? It fell into the sea, so shouldn’t you take good care of it?”

“…The problem is that it sucks in passing ships whole and eats humans.”

“Then that child should also be educated…”

“Okay! I’ll take care of my daughter.”

Then why did you bring up the Charybdis story?

* * *

Anyway, this is a good opportunity.

I educate the children of Poseidon who are acting up, and since I am in a position to receive favors, I can receive a reward.

Soon Poseidon looked at me again and opened his mouth.

“I want to give everyone else a strict lesson, except for my eldest daughter, Charybdis.”

“Why don’t you give your daughter a good education as well?”

“Ah! As a father, I feel bad for striking that child with lightning, but how about letting those humans eat him up?”

Then why do you discriminate against other children?

Poseidon’s affection for his eldest daughter runs much deeper than I thought.

Most people who die at sea don’t have any great grudges. The sea is a natural law. Death is inevitable.

I’ve never personally passed judgment on this before… I didn’t know Charybdis could eat the entire ship.

“I wish the other children could be even half as good as Triton. How come so many of them can’t even reach the tip of their toes!”

“Come to think of it, Triton isn’t visible.”

“I told Triton to educate his less intelligent brothers properly. I was planning to send those who still couldn’t come to their senses to the underworld.”

“If you can recommend some suitable items to use as a proposal, I’ll accept it. And how did you confess to so many wives…”

As soon as I uttered these words, Poseidon looked at me with interested eyes.

“Are you going to propose to anyone?”

“…I just wanted to know. I think there should be a mistress in the afterlife too.”

“Well, I’m looking forward to the wedding that’s coming up sometime soon. As far as I know, the goddesses like that as a gift…”

We talked for a while about how to win the hearts of Poseidon and the goddesses.

What about how he chased after Amphitrite so hard to win her heart, and how he found her after a dolphin told him where she was?

The story of how the goddesses were given golden necklaces and pearls from the depths of the sea… I’m not sure if it’ll help me, but it was quite interesting.

While they were talking like that, the door to the banquet hall opened and Poseidon’s retinue, a mixture of sharks and humans, came in.

Is he a messenger, as he approaches Poseidon, kneels, and delivers a letter?

“Hmm. Triton wants to use Zeus’ son to educate my child, Polyphemus.”

“Polyphemus?”

I briefly heard from him about Polyphemus.

He is a one-eyed giant named Cyclops who wooed a sea nymph but was rejected and now eats humans.

“Perhaps this is part of the task Hera gave me.”

“But Hercules, I know he’s almost certainly the hero of the prophecy. Polyphemus won’t get seriously hurt, right? No matter how strong my son is, if he were to be compared to the Hydra or the Nemean Lion… Hmm. Surely he wouldn’t lose his eyesight in the fight, right? If he does, he won’t even be able to set foot in the sea…”

Poseidon stood up from his seat and put his hand on his head with a worried expression.

“Don’t worry too much. Hercules knows that you are his son. He wouldn’t kill you, would he?”

“I don’t like seeing you get beaten by the son of Zeus! This is not good, I’ll have to watch for a while.”

As we moved with Poseidon and entered a room decorated with pearls, there was a large seashell.

As the divine power of Poseidon was infused into the shining white shell, the scenery of this world began to appear.

however…

Kwajik!

“Ugh, ugh!!”

“You’re too weak for your size.”

“I. I. That bastard dares attack my son!”

“ah.”

There was Hercules, beating up a Cyclops.

Judging by the way Poseidon clenches his teeth, that Cyclops must be his son.

* * *

A view of this world that appears as a secluded island.

But there was blood everywhere, and iron clubs and boulders were flying around.

After Hercules beat up Polyphemus, he called for help… and the other Cyclops who lived on the island came out.

“Eww! Cyclops brothers! Help me! What the hell is this human here!”

“No, Polyphemus!”

“Brothers! Polyphemus has been struck!”

“Die!”

One-eyed giants that looked dozens of times larger than humans came rushing out and swinging their fists at Hercules,

Instead, their fists were broken. Even when rocks were thrown or trees were uprooted and swung, the great hero was unharmed.

Hercules rushed in like a storm and started beating up the giants one by one,

The island was filled with groans and screams.

“Kwaaak! This crazy human!”

“Poseidon! Please punish that guy!”

“Who the hell are you!”

Naturally, Poseidon’s expression was greatly crumpled as he watched this.

Is it because I’m worried about my children’s education and all, but I feel sick when I see them getting beaten by Hercules right in front of me?

“Ugh! I’ll just…”

“No, wait, Poseidon. If you intervene, Polyphemus’s behavior will never change.”

“But does that make sense? Beating my son with a crowbar is not education at all…”

“Then we shouldn’t send our other children to the afterlife either. If they don’t listen to us, we have to beat them to correct them. But how can the habit of cannibalism disappear so easily?”

In this way, Poseidon was stopped as the tendon on his forehead came out and went back in.

If you keep doing that and lose your temper and kill me by punishing me, Olympus will fall…

“Anyway, send your children to the afterlife on your own.”

“Ahem… Let’s send the young gods first.”

“Keeping children too busy is counterproductive to their education. Tell me where Charybdis lives. Since you’ve come all the way to the sea, I’ll say something before you go.”

It took quite some time to convince the master of the sea.

Aren’t you being even more wicked because you are too weak-hearted to touch your children?

Polyphemus and his son who died at the hands of Ares last time… they will only come to their senses if they are dealt a terrible blow…

Even the famous educator Chiron trained the heroes with a whirlwind… Even though he kept blowing wind on them, it was difficult.

“Isn’t it because you’re so mean to your children that they all act up? Even if I scold them instead?”

“Ugh…”

After much persuasion, Poseidon sighed and told her about the sea canyon where his eldest daughter lived.

Judging from the fact that he repeatedly tells her not to be too harsh on him, I guess he really does care about her.

“Poor kid. I wish you would have spoken to him instead of hitting him.”

“…if you listen to what I say.”

Since she is also Gaia’s daughter, I should just give her a proper lecture and come back.
