King of Underworld - Chapter 181

Epilogue – 21st Century Olympus (2)

Gulp, gulp.

The cocktail, which had all sorts of ingredients mixed together, was quite tasty.

The soft aroma of honeydew and the heavenly nectar blend with the flavor of golden apples to create a harmonious blend in your mouth.

I was about to ask for another drink because of the unexpectedly surprising taste, but then I remembered why I came here.

We need to find our mischievous princess quickly, because we don’t know where she might have disappeared to next.

“Have you seen Melinoe today?”

“Are you talking about the Goddess of Nightmares? Uh… I’m sorry, but I don’t know.”

He turned his gaze away from the nymphs who were tilting their heads and approached the goddesses dancing on one side of the banquet hall.

A place where goddesses in daring attire sway their bodies to the beat of music. Surely you aren’t one of them?

“Ahahaha! Hestia. Are you really a virgin goddess? You only danced once or twice, but…”

“What?! I was just practicing as a hobby? Aphrodite, you’re the one…”

♫♪ ♫

“Wow. There were so many beautiful flowers on Olympus.”

“It’s a shame that Goddess Athena isn’t here. She’s also quite… hehe.”

“Wow…! Me. Me too…!”

“Who is pushing like this… Hades?”

I looked around while grabbing the shoulders of the male gods who were drooling while admiring the appearance of the goddesses and pushing them along.

Aphrodite is dancing dazzlingly in a gorgeous choreography costume that covers only her important parts, Hestia is moving passionately as if she is competing with her, Dike, who was on a short vacation, is there, as well as Selene, the goddess of the moon, and Eos, the goddess of the dawn… But Melinoe cannot see them. Where on earth have they gone?

“Huh? Hades?”

I met Aphrodite’s eyes and walked closer.

“Have you seen my daughter?”

“Goddess of Nightmares? Well… Hehe. If you spend some time with me, I might be able to tell you.”

“…?”

Aphrodite holds out her hand to me with a deliberately provocative smile.

It seemed as if the male gods’ cries of jealousy and envy were coming from behind. What are they saying to a married man who has already gotten married and has children?

I can’t see it now, but I’m dancing with Ares…

“Ha. That’s enough. Hestia, have you seen Melinoe by any chance? I came all the way to Olympus to look for her because she seems to have run away again.”

“Huh? Huh! You came to the banquet hall with Morpheus and then left for the living world? I don’t know the details either…”

“Profit! What if I tell you that! Really!”

“What? You’re already famous for walking over twenty bridges with Hades… Ugh!”

“Be quiet! If you tell all that here…”

“So what! Who knows what you’re doing anyway…!”

The two goddesses suddenly stopped dancing and started arguing.

I passed them by, not knowing if they were good or bad, and looked around again.

If Hestia’s words are true, Melinoe must definitely be in this world.

But, without knowing where this world was, it was nearly impossible to search the vast world one by one.

In times like this…

“board.”

“Huh?! Aren’t you Hades? It’s been a while!”

There is no choice but to ask Pan, the god of nature, to find it.

* * *

He explained in detail that he had to find his daughter who appeared to have run away from home.

After hearing all this, Pan’s reaction was a bit ambiguous.

“Hmm. If it had been like that before, then maybe it would have been different. But these days, it’s a bit difficult.”

“What?”

“In the past, it would have been possible to find them by unravelling them, but these days, it’s not easy because of the attention of humans. At best, we can only hear the whispers of plants or small animals that move secretly…”

Indeed, this problem arises.

In the mythical age when Typhon and Gigas were rampant, even if animals moved in unison, it would have been considered the power of the gods and passed over.

If the world we live in today was half-believing or half-disbelieving in the existence of God, there would be chaos.

Perhaps if I were to give a oracle to this world…

– Breaking news! Reports are pouring in of people hearing the voice of a man who identifies himself as the god Hades in their heads…

– The government expressed concern over religious conflict…

– We have news that Greek mythology is true. There are three religions that believe in and follow the god of wealth in the myth…

– The cynical idea that you would rather die quickly and go to Elysium than face the painful reality…

– Suicide rates have skyrocketed across the country since a man who claimed to be the god of the underworld appeared…

Well, that’s not a very desirable phenomenon.

Of course, my faith is widely spread in this world.

However, if you really give a trust or reveal yourself, there will be great confusion. Naturally, you must also restrain yourself from using powers that seem supernatural to humans.

The world today is different from before.

This is not the era when honor, fame, serving the gods, or loving one’s neighbors were virtues. There is almost no tradition of hospitality left, and there is little awareness of the gods punishing sins or paying for sins in the afterlife. This is the era of money, where only material things rule everything. The reaction when the god of wealth appears is obvious.

“…Then, for now, just find a way to attract less attention from humans.”

“Okay, but don’t expect too much.”

“okay.”

I closed my eyes tightly and looked at the board drawing out divine power, then my eyes went to his clothes.

A round hat with black shoes, and a pair of overalls. Even the god of nature could not go against the flow of time and became modernized…

After quite some time, he opened his eyes and opened his mouth.

“Ouch. I found it! In this world, in a country called the Republic of Korea, with the god Morpheus…!”

“Tell me in detail where it is.”

“I’ll attach a messenger who can convey my message. He will guide you…”

I must bring him here immediately. The nightmares that mortals detest are also a part of the world.

Now that I’m old enough, why would I run away with Morpheus?

* * *

Noisy, noisy.

“…What’s that on your shoulder?”

“Bird? Isn’t that your pet eagle?”

“But are eagles actually that big? Is it some kind of mutant eagle…”

“Isn’t it because he lived abroad? That person seems like a foreigner.”

When I set foot on this world without bothering to hide my body with divine powers, some attention was focused on me.

After a long time, I was thinking of going to see the world disguised as a human and looking for Melinoe. But was it because of this eagle statue on my shoulder?

Kkaaaak-!

– The place you spoke of is over there. O fearful Hades!

“Uh uh…!”

“What? Are you mad because I’m staring at you so intently?”

“I’m going to start a fight for nothing. Look away.”

This new creature is more eye-catching than you might think.

Even more so, when you speak to me, other humans hear nothing more than the cries of an angry eagle.

Ignoring the gazes pouring in from all sides, I continued walking, but a group of people handing out leaflets stopped me.

To be precise, to an old man who looked quite old.

What does that banner say? Elysion Church?

Is this a religion whose goal is to go to Elysion? What the heck?

“Wait a minute. Young man, listen to something nice before you go!”

“…?”

“I see an eagle on your shoulder, so you seem to believe in Zeus. But you can’t do that! You’ll go to hell later. Tartarus!”

My brother, the joy that there are still those who recognize that Zeus’s guardian deity is the eagle…

The old man’s words made him frown. What kind of nonsense is he talking about?

“If you don’t trust Hades, you’ll end up in Tartarus when you die! Hurry up and throw away that eagle on your shoulder and start growing a mint plant at home from today. You know what I mean, right? Hades…”

Kkaaaak-!

– How dare you! You insignificant human being! Who do you think is in front of you?

An old man grabs my hand and forces me to hold a pot of mint.

But it didn’t end there.

“This is exactly 200,000 won. If I pay 200,000 won and take this, I can go to Elysion when I die? Come on. Hurry up…”

“…Do you know that your sins are piling up right now?”

“What?! That little kid is speaking rudely to me…”

“If you don’t want to end up in Tartarus when you die, you’d better stop doing this.”

These guys are my believers. No, I don’t feel their faith, so they’re not even believers.

The smell of lies is very strong. Are they perhaps accumulating wealth by tricking people who fall for it and extorting their money?

But how dare you borrow my name?

If I come to the afterlife after death… No, I’ll have to increase Melinoe’s work a little.

“It looks like I don’t have much time left, so I guess we’ll meet again soon.”

“Me. That shameless bastard!”

Kkaaaak-!

– Hades! If you so command, I will eat that insolent bastard’s liver!

I shook off the old man who was trying to catch me. I remembered the souls of the wicked men who sold my name.

I moved towards where Melinoe was, gently comforting the bewildered Shinsu who had never experienced such humiliation before.

It seems that humans have really developed a lot. If the scope of what can be understood with common sense expands, the fear of God will naturally decrease.

A weapon with a destructive power similar to Zeus’ thunderbolt, and one that can travel alive to the sky and space.

– We’ve arrived! The judge said there are two people inside this building!

This is the building. It’s where Morpheus and Melinoe are.

But why is it so noisy?

“This way! Someone suddenly collapsed…!”

“Did someone report it? Why is 119 suddenly coming to the department store?”

People wearing orange were carrying a fainted man.

I can feel the power of Melinoe from that fallen man. As soon as he leaves this world, he gets into an accident…

“Huh! Huh! Ha. Hades!”

“Huh…! Father?!”

Found them. These guys.
