Sea Monster Charybdis – (3)

Charybdis was sucking in seawater quite quickly, so we had to take action quickly.

A viand that can be held in your hand at will.

The opponent is the god of the sea next to Poseidon. I’ll have to use a little more force.

It’s not right to act violently in the realm of another god, but I got permission from Poseidon.

■■■■■■!!!!!

Between the sky and the sea, the aura of death is rising. To be exact, it is thrust downwards.

I saw sea creatures and birds like seagulls fall to the ground dead as they touched the black pillars I had created.

ㅡ?! ■■!!!

Charybdis closes her mouth in confusion.

I don’t know if the expression “the whirlpool shut its mouth” is appropriate, but there was no other way to describe it.

A gaze that is wary of this side and trying to figure out my identity. The golden ichor flowing out of her disappears into the sea…

First, we need to evacuate the humans.

He moved onto the ship and looked at Charybdis and said.

“I’ll send you to a safe place.”

I feel those who found me clasping their hands together in prayer. The faith that is being passed down from behind.

Some people knew who I was, others didn’t, but the emotions I felt were all the same.

Relief. Peace of mind. Joy. Gratitude.

“It is not yet time for you to come to the afterlife.”

He created a black curtain around the ship and pushed it towards the land, then rose above the sea surface again and saw Charybdis.

Unlike before, she slowly reveals her body without sucking in seawater.

However, as if he was wary of me, he sent the message with only his mouth showing.

The voice that was transmitted into my head was… a beautiful voice that I couldn’t believe was a giant whirlpool monster.

[Why are you suddenly doing this to me, Hades?]

“Charybdis, daughter of Poseidon. Stop tormenting humans.”

[What are you talking about… The Lord of the Underworld came all the way here for a mortal?]

“After death, all mortals will become my subjects.”

Charybdis paused for a moment. Was she thinking about what I meant?

It’s exactly as I said… Anyway, all I have to do is convince her.

“You are the god of the sea next to Poseidon, how long are you going to live like this?”

[……]

“Stop harassing passing humans. Poseidon and Demeter have promised to provide you with enough food so that you won’t have to eat them.”

[Father… are you talking about?]

“Yes. Before coming here, I called Demeter and spoke to her.”

He ate too much nectar and ambrosia, was struck by Zeus’ thunderbolt, and fell into the sea.

I guess Poseidon doesn’t have any feelings for you. That’s a relief.

Why didn’t his father protect him from Zeus’ thunderbolt… It would be a headache if it came out like this.

“Why do you think men do not praise your name and offer sacrifices to you? Are you not inferior to Triton and the other sea gods?”

[Are you trying to convince me?]

“Yes, I know your story. If you hadn’t fallen into the sea, you wouldn’t have fallen this far.”

The world of the divine is a bit complicated.

It also has significance that he was struck by lightning and driven out by the king of the gods during the banquet.

The banishment that the King of Gods personally gave. The reason why a divinity like Charybdis cannot return to Olympus.

Although she was clearly a high goddess, she had fallen to the point where she would eat humans instead of nectar and ambrosia.

There is not a single human who believes in Charybdis. If this situation continues, it will not be good for her either.

It’s just a sea monster that eats people. If you have this kind of perception, it’ll be hard to turn back.

“True faith comes from between fear and gratitude. Don’t you know that? Now, humans, stop tormenting me.”

[Then… I can go back to Olympus…]

“As you know, we are at war with your mother, Gaia, but if we can drive out Gigas and gain her approval, we may be able to convince Zeus.”

Charybdis did not prey on humans thoughtlessly either.

Her longing for Olympus, her anger and resentment toward Zeus, and her sadness at how she, as a goddess, had fallen to this extent.

All kinds of emotions were mixed together, and eventually I ended up eating mortals.

Could it be that the reason you are quietly listening to my persuasion is because you can see a way back?

Poseidon is already on her side, and if I support him, even Zeus will have to reconsider.

* * *

[Understood. I will do as Hades wishes.]

“I thought well. Poseidon will send down an oracle and ask you to offer sacrifices when he sails near here. He will also periodically deliver ambrosia and nectar.”

[father…]

“…?”

[I’m sorry to my father…]

“I’ll tell you.”

Like father, like daughter. They feel sorry for each other.

Now that the persuasion is over, the humans won’t bother you anymore, right?

Our gods have bodies that can survive without eating ambrosia and nectar.

I fell into the sea because I was displeased with Zeus, so I will exercise some self-restraint…

Ha. Okay. If you do this much, Poseidon will take care of educating you.

I don’t know if it was the same in the past, but it seems like things have changed these days.

[See you next time…]

As I turned my head away from her as she sank back into the water and turned to go back to the afterlife, I saw someone approaching me, parting the waves.

The thing I’m riding is a dolphin. The energy I feel is the power of God.

“Uncle Hades!”

“Is it Triton?”

Triton, the eldest son of Poseidon.

“You must have come to find out how the conversation between me and Charybdis went, as instructed by your father.”

“Ah… haha. Because fathers love their children.”

“Tell him not to worry. I didn’t touch him, except for one punch.”

He continued speaking to Triton, who smiled awkwardly.

“Hercules.”

“Huh? That human hero?”

“Do you think he could become a god?”

In Psyche’s case, she was rather an ordinary human being… so Zeus was able to make her into a suitable lower-level god,

In Medusa’s case, she was originally a demigod, and she came to the underworld after losing her life, so I was able to make her into a god.

However… if the greatest hero, Hercules, were to become a god, the 12 gods of Olympus would turn into 13 gods.

He must accomplish a task that would make him a god, but Hercules, who was already strong, found the threshold too high.

Therefore, we must follow the path of Dionysus, who was born as a human and ascended to the position of one of the twelve gods of Olympus.

Similar to when Dionysus ascended to the position of god, a divine mindset, spirit, and faith are also needed.

“His strength is already on par with that of a god… but it seems to be holding him back. His attitude is also…”

“I see. So there hasn’t been an opportunity yet?”

Maybe one day you’ll figure it out.

Meanwhile, the sailors who were almost eaten by a sea monster dramatically met Hades and saved their lives.

Their boat naturally drifted ashore, and they were all able to be embraced by their families.

“Ugh… Ugh. This voyage was really dangerous. The whole ship was almost eaten by the whirlpool monster…”

“No, a black pillar appeared from the sky to the sea?!”

“It must have been God. He saved us from the sea monster.”

The memory of the male god who suddenly appeared on the deck at the moment of life or death was firmly engraved in my mind.

Even sailors who worship only Poseidon are troubled by the thought of having two religions.

“But… which god is that?”

“With the black hair and the clothes… you’re not Poseidon.”

“Then isn’t it Triton?!”

“I’ve heard that Triton looks like a mix of fish and human, but that’s not him either.”

“…That is the lord of the underworld.”

Very few people thought of him as the god Pluto.

They were middle-aged sailors who had studied a little theology in their youth, or experienced captains.

“Black hair and black eyes. No wings were visible, and the spear was a two-pronged spear. These are the characteristics of the god Pluto.”

“No, what is the reason that Pluto, who should be underground, came to this world?”

“Have you come out to deal with that sea monster? Just as the god Apollo killed the king serpent Python in the past.”

“The gods may hide their appearance, but He has clearly said… that it is not yet time for you to come to the afterlife.”

It is not time to ‘come’ to the afterlife.

So, did he really get his life saved by Pluto, the god who lives in the afterlife?

“I’ve heard that you are a god of mercy and justice… hmm.”

“It happened so quickly that I couldn’t see exactly who it was.”

“Well, I still don’t know. It could be Poseidon himself appearing in a different form.”

“It doesn’t matter which god it is. Shouldn’t we give thanks? How about offering a sacrifice to Olympus?”

“Damn it. Okay. Rather than worrying about which god it is, let’s prepare the sacrifice first.”

Of course, it’s hard to believe that Pluto would suddenly appear in the ocean.

People first prayed to an unknown god and offered sacrifices.

However, some certainly prayed to the Lord of the Underworld and gave thanks.

From that day on, oracles came down from the temples of Poseidon and Demeter…

Humans learned the name of the goddess Charybdis.

“Dedicated to the goddess Charybdis, daughter of Poseidon.”

“Please help us return to our families.”

The sailors prepared high-quality offerings for her who lives in the sea,

When sailing through certain areas, a custom arose of dropping food into the sea as an offering to Charybdis.

Since then, sightings of sea monsters and ships suddenly disappearing are said to have disappeared.
