King of Underworld - Chapter 17

The story after Typhonomachia – (1)

Boom! Boom! Boom!

How should I deal with this?

I looked down at the three-headed dog, which was desperately wagging its tail and showing its belly.

Looking at it this way, it’s a little cute, but… um…

“Lord Hades, shouldn’t we get rid of the monster’s seed? It’s already strong enough…”

If the board is already able to withstand a light attack, the aftereffects are a bit worrying.

But if you listen to what Pan has to say, it seems like the survival instinct is more important than ferocity.

“Okay, follow me to the afterlife.”

Kkieeeeing! Kkieeeeeeing!

A monster that foams at the mouth and becomes enraged as soon as it finishes speaking.

The small tail swings wildly like a windmill, and tears flow from the eyes of its three heads.

“I am Hades, the king of the underworld. I don’t mean to kill you and take you away.”

Woof woof! Woof woof!

“I will give my utmost loyalty..” he said.

Before I knew it, the tears had disappeared and a monster was circling around me, wagging its tail.

Pan carefully interprets the words with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

What can I say, he’s a monster that seems like he’d be really good at betraying.

* * *

He headed to the underworld with a three-headed dog named Cerberus.

I was worried that it might run away on the way, but it followed me quietly.

I thought about what kind of work I could give this guy, and it seemed like it would be a good idea to use him as a guard dog.

Because there are often souls who escape the afterlife and try to return to the living world.

“Bite and rip out every soul that sneaks out. You can eat them, too.”

Krrrrrr…

Cerberus nodded his head, understanding what I said.

Its body is dark and rather ugly, but it is also strong and has poisonous teeth, making it a guard dog fit for the underworld.

“I’ll show you the afterlife first. Just follow me.”

“Phew hew!”

The three heads move busily, studying the surrounding scenery intently. The atmosphere of the underworld does not seem so bad for the monster Cerberus.

Now I just need to cross the rivers Lethe and Styx to get back to my citadel.

“Hades is coming… not coming… on..”

But what does this mean?

Who would dare sit and mutter indifferently in the sacred river of forgetfulness… the goddess Lethe?

“Ha.. Hades..”

The goddess Lethe, who was crouching and muttering on the banks of the river Lethe, the river of forgetfulness, spots me and runs towards me.

Prison.

“I’ve been waiting here for you.. You didn’t come here dead, did you..?”

The soft skin of a goddess touches my chest.

If you hug me so suddenly… Cool!

“I feel like I’m going to die right now.”

“Ahhh… I’m sorry!”

He’s a god, so he can’t die, but he just got hit by Typhon and is in a bit of pain.

My chest hurts a lot, so if you could just step away a little… Ugh!

“Ichor is coming out of this mouth..!”

* * *

And so, we return to the castle of the underworld.

I was sitting on the throne, receiving reports of what had happened during the fight against Typhon.

The battle with Typhon left the entire area around Olympus completely devastated, with many people losing their lives.

As a result, the work of the underworld also temporarily increased.

The workload is increasing, but since I, the person with the highest decision-making power, am not present, the gods are getting more and more tired…

Eventually, the situation arose where the goddess Styx with her cold eyes questioned me.

“What if the Lord, the King of the Underworld, goes directly to the battlefield?”

Shouldn’t you be taking care of Olympus’s affairs? Was it really necessary for me to get involved in such a dangerous battle? If it’s a battle where I’ll be spewing ichors out of my mouth, then let Zeus handle it. I saved face by giving you back your tendon, didn’t I do enough? Even though we’re brothers, did you really have to pay the price?

Ah.. It’s not because I’m busy. I appreciate your consideration, but..

My ears were getting sore from the constant nagging, and my face was starting to turn pale.

Yes, yes.. I’m sorry. It was all my fault.

“…Phew”

Has it finally stopped?

“Still, I’m glad you’re safe. I was so worried here… sigh.”

The face of the Goddess Styx gradually turned red, and she turned her head away, covering her mouth.

A clear, transparent liquid can be seen flowing from her eyes and down her cheeks.

No, why are you crying again?

Unable to bear the stinging gazes of those around him, he got up from his seat and went to comfort the goddess Styx.

“Huh… Hades, you’re making your wife worry.”

“How dare you make the mistress of the underworld angry. I can’t possibly follow you.”

“I think you should take a look at the other side too…”

I wish everyone would just be quiet, even if the goddess Lethe were looking at me with her sharp eyes.

I’m a god who doesn’t even date, let alone get married. I wonder why they’re so interested in other people.

But Thanatos, you don’t have any close goddesses, do you?

“What’s with those eyes? Something feels off.”

It’s nothing.

“More than that, Hades, why on earth did you bring that monster here?”

Where Morpheus pointed with his finger, there was Cerberus sitting quietly awaiting my command.

Hmm… Let’s see. I guess we can have him guard the gate to the underworld.

Now there will be no more souls leaving the afterlife.

“But that’s a monster. A dangerous guy like that, when he thinks he’s become strong, he betrays…”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that.”

Cerberus was given some of the power of the underworld, making him more like a divine beast than a monster.

Although the monster’s ferocity remains, it will not escape the afterlife or disobey my orders.

“But what happened to Typhon?”

A question from the goddess Lethe with her arms crossed.

Typhon’s body was sealed in Mount Etna by Zeus himself.

And I left the severed head in Tartarus.

“Hades! You damn rat! Where is my body!”

“The bottom of Mount Etna.”

“Kyaaah! Don’t put your head on my body right now…AAAH!!!”

I am worried that Typhon’s body buried under Mount Etna might cause trouble, but

It wouldn’t matter if I went on patrol occasionally to see the sights of this world.

The Olympian gods in the sky also keep an eye on the place where Typhon is buried, so his body can never be released.

At best, it would end with causing chaos and causing damage to the ground.

“Oh my god… The body is buried under a mountain and the head is in Tartarus…”

“When I see you like this, I feel like you really are the god of the underworld. But why do you sometimes…”

What do you mean sometimes..

Thanatos, who met my eyes, slowly averted his gaze.

“Hmm. Hmm. The god Hermes’ wounds have healed and he is planning to return to Olympus. He would like to thank you. How about stopping by?”

That’s right, Hermes.

* * *

As we entered the place where Hermes, who had collapsed at the entrance to the underworld, was being treated, we saw the messenger god smiling with all his limbs intact.

As expected of a god, he seems to have recovered a long time ago and was waiting for me.

“Uncle Hades, I heard you defeated Typhon!”

“It looks like you’re feeling better now.”

Wearing the caduceus staff with two crossed snakes and winged sandals, he was now the Hermes I knew.

When he was brought in covered in blood…

“Thank you so much for helping Olympus. I’m sure Father will reward you greatly!”

“No, that’s enough of the reward. While you’re at it, take this Squitena with you.”

I was supposed to return it to Zeus, but I accidentally brought it all the way to the underworld.

“Ah… this is Squeete. This is my first time seeing it.”

“If you pass it on to Zeus, he will take care of it.”

Hermes takes Squite in both hands and touches it as if it were a wonder.

He would never have had the chance to see the mightiest weapon of Olympus, made by the young god, Adamas.

“But doesn’t your grandfather write it himself?”

“It wasn’t mine in the first place.”

Unfortunately, the scythe doesn’t fit my hand.

Of course, you can use any weapon you want during a long war with the Titans, but I feel like a sword or spear suits me better.

No matter how good or strong a weapon is, if the user’s skill is low, it will be difficult to exert its power. This is something that Zeus should be using.

As he nods his head and nods, the messenger prepares to leave the afterlife.

“Haha. Then, I, Hermes, everyone’s messenger, will now go back. Next time I come to the afterlife, I will prepare a gift for my uncle…”

Yeah, go ahead. Your son is worried too.

As I look at Hermes floating in the air, a spirit soldier runs towards me.

“Lord Hades, the goddess of the rainbow, messenger of Olympus, has arrived at the gates of the underworld!”

Iris comes here often these days.

With Hermes injured and lying in the underworld, Zeus had no choice but to send Iris.

Wait a moment, and a rainbow goddess with beautiful wings comes in.

“I greet the lord of the underworld again. Zeus has asked me to tell him that he wishes to come to Olympus to repay Hades for his participation in the battle against Typhon.”

You want me to come to Olympus?

I wish you wouldn’t bother me, but I’m not a subject of Zeus.

Iris frowns and adds her explanation, sweating profusely.

“Lord Hephaestus said that in order to create the weapon to be presented, it must be made directly at a special forge. And since Typhon has been defeated, a victory banquet will be held in Olympus. If you would please attend and grace the occasion..”

Did Zeus order Hephaestus to make me a weapon, but I already have the Sword of Styx?

And the banquet at Olympus, isn’t this a bit tempting?

It’s not a bad idea to enjoy a banquet above the clouds after a long time.

I’m going to Olympus, where most of the gods gather, to check out the atmosphere, because I don’t know what might happen.

I’m a little worried about what’s going on in the afterlife, though.

Compared to when the great flood occurred, things have become more organized and stable, so it is okay to leave for a while.

“Okay, let’s go right now.”

“Then I will invite you, Lord Hades.”

Iris asked permission and created a rainbow to open a passage to Olympus.

It is truly a power that cannot be anything but coveted, no matter when you see it.
