King of Underworld - Chapter 176

The Trojan War – (10)

The Greek allied forces withdrew on the day of Thanatos, making a peace treaty with Troy.

But their future was not so smooth.

Because not enough heroes died in this war to satisfy him, Zeus moved the Olympian gods.

The Greek army returning to their homeland suffered all kinds of hardships, such as being led by sea monsters or being washed ashore on an island somewhere.

The best among them was, of course, Achilles.

Achilles and Patroclus, stranded on an island filled with strange monsters, have to endure many hardships…

On the first day , they had to fight off a horde of attacking harpies.

The exploits of Achilles and Patroclus, and yet many soldiers were chasing them away.

“Let’s build a ship as fast as we can and get the hell out of this place.”

“Hey, hey! There’s a flying monster coming this way!”

“Damn it. Everyone, draw your swords! Archers…”

Three days since being stranded on the island .

Suddenly, a monster wolf ran up and started biting the soldiers to death.

Dozens of soldiers were killed or wounded, but when Achilles struck him in the side with his spear, he retreated bleeding.

Krrrrrr!

“It’s a monster wolf! The arrows are bouncing off!”

“Achilles! You said that your armor was a new weapon made by the blacksmith god! That…!”

“I know, Patroclus! Haaaap!”

A week has passed.

Some nymphs stopped the soldiers from cutting down trees to repair the ship.

Achilles revealed his identity and tried to appease the nymphs, but several soldiers had already died from the nymphs’ tricks.

The morale of the soldiers was falling further and further, and the heroes were growing tired.

“Humans! From here on out, don’t touch the trees! They’re our friends!”

“That’s right! Go away! Do you want to face the wrath of the goddess Demeter?”

“Wait a minute. My mother is the goddess Thetis. I need to return to my homeland, so please give me some trees…”

It’s been a year since I started living on the island .

Achilles, the most talented of the Greeks, grew greatly while fighting monsters.

The blood of the monsters that lived on the island was soaked into his body, and the soldiers who survived until now were also somewhat adapted to the monsters.

Patroclus, who had just fought a giant snake monster, was writing something while eating the meat of a beast he had hunted.

Achilles asked him a question as he wrote something every day since he landed on the island.

“Patroclus. What are you writing?”

“Everything we’ve been through.”

“…Okay. Write it or not, do as you wish. I don’t know if I can survive here. Seriously.”

Achilles said, wiping the crimson liquid off his spear.

“Now I understand why Nestor and Polydeuces showed little interest in the war.”

“hmm?”

“Haven’t we fought to the death against guys dozens of times stronger than the ones we’re facing now?”

“That’s true. I heard that you met dragons on the Argo expedition.”

“The wars of humans have become trivial. Haaah… I was going to boast to my father about my great achievements in the Trojan War. Now it will be difficult to do that.”

Even when he participated in the Trojan War, his spirited appearance was nowhere to be seen.

But if it had not been for Achilles’ efforts, the Greek soldiers would have been annihilated in less than a week.

“Hahaha! Why. Does Lord Peleus look so amazing?”

“that’s right.”

“Wow… Achilles. I’ve had a lot of thoughts while fighting monsters so far. You look so different from how you were just a little while ago.”

“Don’t you think so too, Patroclus?”

It was only after a very long time that the heroes were finally able to repair their ship and return to their homeland.

There were not many soldiers who returned alive from the terrible monster island, and those who returned had injuries all over their bodies.

“…father.”

“Achilles! My son…! What on earth happened in the war?!”

“The war ended blandly. Only after that…”

“First of all. Let’s go inside and continue talking.”

Once on land, they began to reminisce with their families and share their experiences.

It was especially helpful that Achilles’ close friend, Patroclus, wrote about his journey on the island.

After experiencing all these things, Patroclus gathered together scholars and writers and told them his story.

Everything from the fierce Trojan War, to the stories of heroes and gods, to the monster island that Achilles ended up on.

“Even though we managed to repair the ship and go out to sea, we returned to the island dozens of times because of all the sea monsters…”

“Is that true?”

“Of course. In the end, Achilles cut them all down.”

And thus, a single chronicle was created.

A heroic tale featuring Achilles as the main character and telling the story of the Trojan War, gods, and monsters.

“Even Apollo, the god of arts, would surely be amazed if he saw this heroic tale!”

“How exciting! This is definitely something that the bards and minstrels would sing…”

“This isn’t my time. Remember all the heroic tales I just told you…”

Stories of mythological monsters such as Typhon and Hydra were widely known, but

The heroic tales told by Patroclus were accompanied by his own records, which gave them credibility and realism.

It was the moment when the story of the hero Achilles’ experiences, Axilleia, spread throughout Greece.

A quarrel that arose at Gaia’s request and Zeus’s plan.

The Trojan War, in which the Olympian gods actively intervened, ended.

“Finally. The war is finally over. I almost lost all the feathers on my wings.”

“…Thank you for your hard work, Thanatos.”

“Can’t you just take the position of God of Death, Hades?”

“……”

Thanatos is truly the same. He hasn’t changed even after all this time.

After all, the immortality of the mind is a characteristic of the gods.

Can I really take a break now?

Zeus’ war to reduce the number of heroes has ended, and the gods have become less violent as they keep an eye on me.

I feel like all that busy work is paying off. I wonder how many times I’ve been to this world that isn’t even my jurisdiction…

Suddenly.

The door to the audience room where Thanatos and I were alone opened and someone came in.

With beautiful blonde hair and this soft and refreshing divine power… My wife Persephone?

“Lord Hades!”

“Kore. Why this time…”

“I have that child!”

What? What did the goddess of spring and seeds, who was smiling brightly in front of me, just say?

Irony. Really? My child… He got up from his seat and approached her carefully, placing his hand on her stomach.

Swish.

A feeling of a weak and small life. She was really pregnant with my child.

I, the master of the afterlife who thought I was far from life, am now the parent of a child.

He hugged her and smiled.

Oh, my. I got an unexpected gift. I’m so happy and my heart is full.

“Heh. Ehehe… Hades-sama and I have a child in here…”

“Kore. Thank you. From today until the baby is born, take it easy at work.”

“Oh, that’s right! Other goddesses besides me…”

Suddenly.

The door to the audience room opened again.

Lethe, Styx, and Menthe are coming this way?

“Hehehe…”

“It’s Hades!”

Just like Persephone, they approached me with a smile as if something fun was happening.

“no way…”

“Oh my. Did Persephone tell you before? Yes, they are all having your child.”

I opened my mouth and said nothing. Mente, who could not meet my eyes, and the goddess Lethe, who pretended to puff out her chest and groaned.

Finally, the goddess Styx gracefully smiles, gently covering her flushed cheek.

Everyone has my child.

Is this the joy, or rather blessing, of the afterlife?

But what should I name my child when I have him/her? What kind of divinity will the children who inherit my blood have?

Is she a strong son? Or is she a cute daughter? My thoughts are complicated. But I never feel bad about it.

I have a child with my loved ones. It is an indescribable thrill for me to become a father.

After living as a god for so many years, I thought I had become quite dull in my emotions…

“…That’s the most delightful news I’ve heard in centuries.”

“Oh my. What did you say…?”

“Our child’s name is…”

As we begin to chat with them, Thanatos noticeably steps out and makes way for us.

I must quickly spread this news to the other gods. Zeus in the palace of Olympus and all those I have been friends with…

“I told Persephone, you can all rest and do nothing until the baby is born.”

“Oh. Really?”

“Yes, Mente. Even if you are a god, you need to rest when you have a child.”

“Oh my. Hehe.”

“…Wow… I love you…”

Huh? Wait a minute. If the four goddesses take a year off… do I have to do all the work in the underworld?

No. What are you thinking? You can’t leave your wives with children.

But now that the busy days are over, I can do it on my own.

Now that I’ve said that, the Olympian gods won’t go around causing trouble or anything.

Just thinking about it this far.

A messenger’s voice was heard knocking on the door outside the audience room.

No way, again?

“Hades! We’re in trouble! Zeus says there are too many Trojan heroes, so let’s reduce them a bit…”

“…Tell him not to talk nonsense!”

The king of the underworld is tired today too.
