King of Underworld - Chapter 14

The Story of Typhon – (3)
I saw a sight of a very ordinary human being gaining the courage of Ares.
I’ve seen countless people in my life, but I’ve never been so impressed as I am today.
But will alone cannot carry out the command given by Zeus.
Does this cardmos really have that kind of ability?
So I asked him directly.
How are you going to get Zeus’ tendon back from Typhon?
“Although I am not on par with Apollo, the god of music, I pride myself on having the ability to charm a monster.”
Cadmus took out a flute from his bosom, put it to his lips, and slowly blew air into it.
Judging from the skillful and natural posture of the person blowing the flute, it seemed that it was not something he had only done once or twice.
Beep beep beep~
The sweet sound from Cadmus’ flute causes the surrounding animals to stop in their tracks.
Even the nymphs of nature come out to listen to music, and the air trembles softly.
Every space where the sound of the flute is heard flows to his melody.
When the soft rhythm that had been ringing in the air for a while stopped, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret.
Cadmus, who had taken the flute out of his mouth, spoke to me with a confident face.
“The monster will not come to its senses at the sound of my flute!”
For a moment, I compared it with the music I heard from Apollo, the god of music and art and son of Zeus.
Similar to Apollo… No, isn’t it better than Apollo?
A performance skill that dares to aim for the position of god of music.
Still…still it’s dangerous.
It doesn’t end with the performance, but you also need the eloquence, courage, and luck to get the tendon from Typhon.
A gamble that would never work on even the most seasoned monster.
But if you imagine Typhon, who was strong but looked somewhat clumsy, and try to guess the possibilities…
“Lord Hades, I have already made my preparations.”
Actually, I still think Zeus is crazy…
The words and courage of Cardmos, who answered my question earlier, clearly surpassed the realm of ordinary people.
I finished my thought and nodded slowly.
However, if Typhon tries to kill Cadmus without paying attention to the sound of the flute or if something seems strange, I will step forward while wearing the Quinae and ambushing him.

A little way from Mount Olympus.
A man disguised as a shepherd, Cadmus, was walking along, playing his flute.
And a few steps away, I am following behind, wearing Quinae and drawing my Styx sword.
He played music indifferently, even though he was approaching a monster that could kill him in an instant.
As he entered Typhon’s sphere of influence and a fierce storm began to blow, he stumbled and lost his footing.
Kuuuuuu…
But that too is only for a moment, as the fierce storm gradually subsides.
A sign that Typhon is interested in the sound of the song and is gathering the wind surrounding his body.
With the evidence that Cadmus’ music works on Typhon as well, he gains confidence and walks forward again.
Gradually, the animals living in the mountains disappeared, and the number of broken trees around increased.
As they headed towards where Typhon was, the pressure gradually increased, but Cadmus continued on, sweating profusely.
And finally, I encountered a monster.
“Hahahahaha! That was truly an amazing performance! What’s your name, human?”
The earth and sky tremble at the laughter of Typhon, who was lying sideways.
Despite this, Cadmus stood on his own two legs.
“I am just a shepherd passing by, a human being named Cadmus. Oh, great one!”
“A shepherd? Just a shepherd! You gave me heavenly music, and that’s all you can do?”
Typhon looks down at Cadmus with eyes full of kindness, as if he were looking at an ant performing a trick.
Even Typhon’s hair, made up of a hundred lightning bolts and venom-spewing snakes, remained silent to Cadmus.
“Follow me, and I will reward you greatly if you play me that music whenever I want.”
“What kind of compensation are you talking about?”
Typhon pretends to be worried and does a favor to the ant in front of him.
At least that’s what it seemed to me, Hades.
“If you want, I can give you any goddess except Athena, Aphrodite, Leto, Artemis, or Hera. What do you think?!”
You crazy monster, is this Hera your spoil?
I was briefly worried that Cardmos might fall for the temptation.
Taking possession of a goddess is a temptation that is difficult for a human male to refuse, especially if the risk of having to fool a monster disappears.
“Of course I will follow the orders of the Great One! But wouldn’t you like to hear even more excellent music?”
“Oh… More than the sound of the flute just now?”
Cadmus’s throat shook loudly once and he began to denounce Typhon in a loud voice.
“In the past, I once won a duel with the god Apollo over the lyre. But when Zeus found out about this, he cut my lyre with a thunderbolt!”
“You deserve to win against Apollo, but you cut the lyre strings with a lightning bolt.”
“If only I could recreate my lyre, I would play notes twice as sweet as they do now.”
Indeed, his speech, courage, and even wisdom are all worthy of being the first human hero.
“Good! This is the tendon of Zeus who was defeated by me. Make a lyre out of it and bring it to me!”
“I can only thank you, my lord.”
Typhon moved his large body and pulled out a tendon from under the bearskin he had been lying on.
As befitting a divine body, it felt like it was pulsating strongly even though it was separate from its owner’s body, and there was not a single rotten or damaged part.
“I will make a lyre and come back.”
“Hahaha! Then come back quickly!”
The hero, who possessed the courage of Ares, the musical talent of Apollo, and the wisdom of Athena, completed his task.
* * *
“I have truly regained my tendons, human.”
“I am honored to be of help to you, Zeus.”
Cadmus and I returned to the mountain with the sinews and found the cave where Zeus was imprisoned.
I was momentarily taken aback by the sight of the powerful Zeus lying on the ground, having lost all his strength.
But as soon as I got my tendons back and put them back on my legs, I was back to the Zeus I knew.
“Zeus. It seemed as if the three goddesses of Fate had a hand in Typhon.”

“The Moirai will help me?”
When I told him about the weakened Typhon, he smiled confidently and clenched his fists.
It seems like he’s gained some confidence.
“I know where Typhon hid my astrape. While I’m getting it, could you, Hades, help me find the other gods?”
“okay.”
Even though Zeus’ power has returned, Typhon, who single-handedly destroyed Olympus, is not someone to be underestimated.
Zeus might be thinking of joining forces because he might lose again if he fights alone.
I immediately left the cave to find other gods.
First, I took off my Quinae and secretly held it in my hand to search the surroundings so that the gods could recognize me.
Fortunately, a god came to me first.
“Ha…Hades!”
The goddess of the hearth, Hestia, appeared.
She was so scared that she ran towards me and hugged me.
The warm and gentle divine power that I usually felt from her was shaking unsteadily.
Like a furnace being blown out by a strong wind.
“You came to help! But Zeus didn’t get away in time..”
“You’ve already met Zeus, so calm down.”
Even the veteran gods who had fought against the Titans and the Gigas were trembling with fear.
I was once again struck by how strong a monster Typhon is.
After I finished explaining to her about Zeus’ tendons, I went out to find other gods.
Hestia also showed great surprise at the activities of humans, whom she had only regarded as objects of care.
“Oh my god… a human hero like that helped us…?”
“Once we defeat Typhon, I’ll introduce you again.”
She too decided to seek out the other gods and gather them on Mount Olympus, which was occupied by Typhon.
From now on, the speed at which the gods gather will gradually accelerate.
As I was thinking like that, a god with the lower body and horns of a goat and the upper body of a human jumped in front of me.
He had the same expression on his face that humans have when they look at Zeus.
“Ha… Hades!”
He stopped in front of me.
“Ugh… You came all the way to this world to save Olympus… I’m really ashamed!”
No, before you met Cadmus, was that you that transformed into a creature that was a mixture of a goat and a fish? Pan?
I thought he was just some lowly god, so I followed Zeus’ trail, but it turned out to be Pan. If I had known this would happen, I would have taken off my Quinae and spoken to him.
Pan.
He is a god of nature and livestock, a satyr with a human upper body but a goat lower body, a type of half-man, half-beast.
For reference, he is the son of Hermes and the grandson of Zeus.
You really need to work on your transformation skills.
It’s a good thing Typhon isn’t interested in the fleeing gods, except for Hermes.
“Is your father okay? Ugh… He must have been really anxious…”
He gritted his teeth when I told him that he was currently receiving treatment in the afterlife.
It seemed like a mixture of helplessness and sorrow at being unable to stand up to a monster as a god and running away.
Just like Hestia, he told her to calm down a bit and find other gods.
“Oh! Even though I look like this, I’m still a god of nature. If you ask, other people will quickly find it too!”
There was no need to ask who to ask.
Because he noticed that animals such as birds, chipmunks, and squirrels around him were flocking to him.
Pando, there seem to be many gods who have turned into fish, so let’s go to the river.
As it happened, there was a suitable river nearby.
As he revealed his presence and unleashed his divine power widely, two fish in the river suddenly jumped up.
A form that changes in a short moment. Powerful divine power. One of the 12 Olympian gods.
“Uncle Hades!”
“What is this about the God of War?”
“…I’m sorry. I feel so defeated that I have to stop…”
One is Ares, a muscular male god who helped the underworld very well during the Great Flood.
and..
A goddess with gorgeous blonde hair and chilling beauty.
An aura that captivates everyone, regardless of age or gender.
A perfect body without any blemishes and the wafting fragrance of flowers.
It was Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time.
A goddess born from the foam that splashed into the sea when Cronus cut off the genitals of his father, Uranus.
“It’s been a while, Hades.”
She’s also wearing the Kestos Himas, a belt that has the power to charm men.
The allure of the goddess of beauty that no one can escape.
He turned his eyes to his pounding head and said to Aphrodite.
“Use that when fighting Typhon.”
“Hmm… As expected, it doesn’t work well with the three gods.”
The image of perfect beauty grumbled softly and untied her belt.
If Eros, the god of love, and Peyto, the goddess of persuasion, were by my side, I might have been a little shaken.
“Ah… Aphrodite.”
My nephew has already passed and is having a blast.
Aphrodite was already married to Hephaestus…
There is no way to tell the goddess of love not to seduce men, so what can she do? Will she one day attain the status of a deity of adultery?
I told them the situation and asked for their help.
“I see. Father’s tendon is back… Then let’s look for another god!”
“See you later, Hades.”
She’s like a female Zeus who’d take anyone to bed if they look like her.
As I turned around to go find the other gods, the wind blowing from the forest blew into my ears.
The swaying grass whispers the message of the board to me.
The eagle, Zeus’ messenger, also flies this way.
[Hades! I found them all!]
[Brother, while we fight that guy first, I’ll leave Squeet to you. Perhaps Olympus’s…]
The time for counterattack has arrived.
