King of Underworld - Chapter 133



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

Tethys, goddess of prophecy

Time passed like flowing water.

Whether in the afterlife or this world, the flow of time cannot be reversed.

The same goes for the patience of Zeus, the king of the gods.

“Hades, the goddess Thetis wishes to see you.”

“Are you talking about the goddess Thetis?”

She is the protagonist of a prophecy that the son she gives birth to will surpass his father.

A goddess who came to the underworld to meet me a long time ago during the rebellion against Poseidon that took place in Olympus.

What’s going on this time… The problem with Charybdis and Poseidon’s children seems to have been solved.

I was resting my head on the lap of the Goddess Styx…

First, I got up from the bedroom and headed to the throne.

A goddess who should be at the sea or in Olympus came to the underworld,

Surely this isn’t another rebellion. Could it be that they came here to ask for a favor?

“Please help me! Zeus keeps trying to get me married these days!”

“ah.”

“It was quiet for a while, but recently…”

I looked at the goddess with water-colored hair who had a very sad expression on her face and placed my hand on her head.

I clearly asked Zeus to look after her convenience last time,

Are you starting to run out of patience and trying to eliminate the anxiety factor?

“No, how much did you have to force it to be like that?”

“You tell me that I will never be the wife of a god, and that I should marry a human. Why would a goddess like me marry a mortal… Ugh…”

“Haaah…”

Thetis, crying and complaining to me.

From Zeus’ point of view, he could never let her marry a god. Would a child greater than a god become one of the three gods?

I will feel safe only if I marry a human and have children.

I also understand the position of this goddess who is forced to marry.

however…

“Goddess Tethys.”

“Ugh… uh… yes?”

“If a goddess marries a god, won’t Zeus harm her child?”

If I get carried away by my feelings and help her marry whichever god she wants,

Zeus will not remain silent at that moment. Even if Nana or Poseidon intervenes, Zeus will not yield.

Then the war of the gods begins.

Unless one side backs down under Zeus’ pressure, it will lead straight to destruction.

In the face of the great enemy called Gigas, all we can see is a fight among ourselves and mutual destruction.

Power is the curse of Zeus,

Even though I am his brother and the lord of the underworld, I do not want to cross the line.

“…That. Then what should I do… Sob… I came to the afterlife because no one helped me…”

But does that mean we have to force them to marry humans? That’s not fair.

Even the goddess Thetis refuses this, doesn’t this look like being sold into a political marriage?

There aren’t many ways that I can think of, but I guess I’ll have to try what I can.

“Lady Thetis, I will try to persuade Zeus.”

“…!”

“But if a goddess were to marry a god, Olympus would be split in half. So… what about those who are of divine blood but are not demigods?”

If you marry one of the three gods, your child will surpass Zeus.

If you marry a god, the three gods may change into four gods.

If you marry a demigod, the child may become a god.

However, the goddess Thetis’ pride would not allow her to marry a human.

“I would like to help the goddess too, but the prophecy still holds me back.”

* * *

The goddess Thetis looks at me pitifully with a look of great disappointment.

“But what if there is a human who is worthy of the goddess’s heart?”

“There’s no way there’s someone who fits my fancy.”

“Exactly… we’re opening a competition or game for humans to participate in. How about Goddess Thetis herself watching the competition and choosing those she likes?”

There are very few humans who would refuse to marry a goddess.

Those who do not have the mental strength of the great heroes Cadmus and Hercules cannot escape the beauty of the immortal.

So, they recruited participants from all over Greece, with the condition that the winner would be able to marry the goddess.

Only outstanding humans with courage, bravery, and wisdom are given the opportunity to woo the goddess.

I roughly expressed these thoughts to the goddess Thetis.

“If there is no one you like, you may use a suitable treasure as the winning prize. Only those who please the Goddess will have the chance.”

“Then, if you keep rejecting me with the excuse that you don’t like it…”

“But Zeus will not give up until the goddess gives birth. The prophecy clearly states that the child will surpass its father.”

The prophecy did not say, “If you have a child,” but rather, “The son born to Thetis will surpass his father.”

Therefore, it is a certainty that the goddess Thetis will give birth to a son.

From Zeus’s point of view, he could only feel relieved if the goddess Thetis’ son was born soon.

“Whew. No matter what I do, there’s no way to refuse the marriage.”

“Is there anything else you would like? I guess I can ask Zeus for something more.”

“…I’ll think about that later.”

“First, I will convey the goddess’s will to Zeus.”

Is this the best we can do? Well, there’s almost no chance that Zeus won’t accept this offer.

I wish the conflict could be resolved like this… I’ll go to Olympus and talk about it.

So I came to Olympus with the goddess Thetis.

Zeus’ expression seemed to stiffen slightly when he saw the goddess Thetis and I together, but then it quickly cleared up.

“It’s not like Brother Hades would look down on Thetis… Is it something to do with her treatment?”

“The goddess Thetis wants to marry a human.”

“…Have you finally made up your mind, Thetis?”

Zeus is half-hearted and the goddess Thetis nods her head sheepishly.

“But, you can’t just capture any human and have them marry you, right? Even if there’s a prophecy that he’ll surpass his father… At the very least, he’d have to be a king or a hero who accomplished great things.”

“Hmm.”

“How about holding a hunting competition among humans whose parents are not gods? Only the winners who are pleasing to the goddess can marry.”

“You could also train heroes… Not a bad idea.”

Zeus was troubled and then called all the gods together.

So a hunting competition was discussed that would allow him to aim for a wedding with the goddess Thetis.

Every two years, a regular competition open to all Greeks was held.

Of course, this was passed down to humans as a trust…

“Have you heard about the hunting tournament where you can marry the goddess Thetis?”

“I honestly can’t believe it. It’s a chance to win the Goddess, but doesn’t that also require the winner to please the Goddess?”

“The prize for winning is treasure and honor, but the goddess Thetis is watching the competition…”

“I thought she wasn’t married. She must be looking for a groom among humans!”

“If one of your parents is a god, you cannot participate, so you cannot leave.”

A competition among humans to catch the eye of the beautiful sea goddess, Thetis, has begun.

Of course, it wouldn’t be easy to catch the eye of the goddess… but heroes who coveted experience, honor, and treasure all participated in the competition.

* * *

At that time, when the city of Lee Seung was bustling with hunting competitions hosted by the goddess Thetis,

The great hero Hercules was silently carrying out his task.

The fifth task is to clean the cages of King Augeas.

Cleaning out the barns where hundreds of livestock had been squatting for decades would be a daunting task even for a great hero.

So I completely changed the flow of the lecture and swept away all the garbage.

Of course, the god of the river protested…

“This guy! Who the hell is changing the flow of the river at will!”

“…I am Hercules, performing a task for Hera. I apologize…”

“The hero of prophecy. Huh… Please bear with me this once.”

Thanks to his name being widely known, he was able to get through it safely.

The sixth task is hunting the new Stymphalus.

A flock of cannibalistic birds that prey on people by pecking them with their beaks or shooting feathers at them.

They were birds raised by Ares, with beaks and talons made of bronze…

Cackle! Cackle! Cackle! Knock!

“It’s noisy… Shut up!!!!”

The great hero also had great vocal cord muscles.

The birds fell to the ground, their eardrums bursting from the loud roar and bleeding from their ears.

Because the fleeing birds were caught by shooting arrows.

After completing the seventh task , capturing the Cretan Bull, the father of the Minotaur…

He also completed the eighth labor, capturing the man-eating mares of King Diomedes.

The next task he was given was…

“The ninth task is to bring Geryon’s cattle.”

“Are you talking about that monster king with three heads and three torsos?”

Geryon is located on an island at the westernmost tip of the land.

Hercules sailed smoothly and reached the island without any interference.

Bam. Bam!

“Kwaaaaak!”

The screams you hear as soon as you enter the island.

Hercules took out his iron club and moved, and what he saw was a familiar face.

“…Triton?”

“Oh. Isn’t that Hercules?”

“What are you doing here…?”

“It’s nothing special, I’m just impressed by the way you trained Polyphemus. I’m thinking of trying that method too.”

Triton training a giant with a club on his shoulder.

A giant with bloodshot eyes and twisted limbs, who had been beaten so many times, was kneeling before Triton.

The eyes of the giant, who appeared larger than Hercules, were filled with fear and terror.

“This is my half-brother, Antaeus, who has been wrestling with passers-by and killing them all.”

“Ah… I see.”

“My father told me to discipline my children, so I guess I have to do something like this.”

Crunch! Crunch!

“Ugh… Ugh…”

“Hahaha! Antaeus! Wasn’t your mother the goddess Gaia? Show more grit.”

“Ah… no. I won’t bother pedestrians again…”

Triton, smiling refreshingly. Antaeus, son of Gaia and Poseidon, but groaning as he dies.

Hercules stared at them blankly for a moment, then began to question Triton’s words.

“Triton.”

VnJ3dTNyRXdaNE9POGIxQ2ZRWWZwQ3NsYlZwMm5hQ0Zma01FZi9FcUlTZGU3cWc0RUhWMnNaYmdLWjVsanVhSw

“What?”

“I am the child of the goddess Gaia and Poseidon… but why isn’t Antaeus here a god? No, to begin with… My goal is to become a god, but I don’t know anything about it. Despite my many accomplishments, the position of a god feels far away. Please give me some advice.”

Can Triton answer his questions?
