King of Underworld - Chapter 184

Side Story – Aphrodite, the Goddess of Beauty and Love (1)

The underworld where the gods are busy working today too.

Zeus’ messenger arrived here at an unexpected time: Iris, the goddess of the rainbow.

“I meet the Lord of the Underworld.”

“Did Zeus send you?”

“Yes. Zeus has urgently summoned Hades to Olympus to discuss matters.”

Zeus? Why are you calling me?

Once we crossed the rainbow passage called by Iris and arrived at Olympus… a truly spectacular sight unfolded.

“Aphrodite is mine. Where are you little brats…!”

“Lord Poseidon. Let’s just let Aphrodite choose for herself. It’s not like we can take her away by force…”

“Hmm. Hmm. I’m not married yet either…”

“How can such beauty exist? She is truly the goddess of beauty!”

“Brother Hades. Are you here?”

A truly perfect beauty. A beauty that would make even Hera, the queen of the gods, jealous.

There stood a goddess I had never seen before, with a beauty more outstanding than anyone else’s.

She calmly accepts the countless gazes of desire pouring in on her and looks around with interest.

“What’s going on? It looks like the male gods are fighting over who will take that goddess as their wife.”

“Haa… She is a goddess born from the severed male organ of her grandfather Uranus that fell into the sea.”

“How long has it been since then? Why is this suddenly happening?”

“I don’t know why. After all, she introduced herself as Aphrodite.”

Aphrodite. As soon as I heard that, a memory came to mind.

The most beautiful goddess in Olympus, in charge of beauty and love. Well, that’s why so many male gods fought to possess her.

Who was her original husband?

“Anyway, I understand what you’re saying. You called me to mediate the male gods’ dispute.”

“That’s right. Can you help me a little? If this continues, a civil war will break out on Olympus. I thought about just pressuring him with force and linking him up with another male god, but…”

“If you have the looks to catch the eye of the goddess, but don’t have achievements that would satisfy the other male gods, Olympus will never be at peace.”

No matter who you marry, there will be a fight.

Poseidon? But Poseidon already has a legitimate wife named Amphitrite.

If you hand Aphrodite over to Poseidon, the male gods who are not yet married will react violently.

“Okay. Okay. Everyone, stop fighting. Stop it!”

“Okay. Stop it here. How old are you guys to be fighting over a goddess? Not even asking who she would want to marry?”

Zeus’s words were given some weight.

It’s finally getting a little quieter. The attention of Aphrodite and other gods is focused on this place.

“Excuse me. Who is that person who just spoke next to Zeus, the king of the gods? He seems to be a very high-ranking deity.”

“Huh? Are you talking about Hades, the god of the underworld?”

Aphrodite glanced at my face and whispered to Hestia.

There’s something a little strange about the look in his eyes.

* * *

Everyone was silenced by Zeus and my threats.

Poseidon seems a bit dissatisfied, but he seems to agree for now.

“No. Fighting over whose wife you will be with a goddess who has just ascended to Olympus… That is very well done.”

“Huh. Even Hades, aren’t you jealous of Aphrodite? Don’t show off so late.”

“Poseidon…”

I’m a little annoyed.

Even though she is the goddess of beauty and love, all these male gods are crazy about her and can’t come to their senses?

Isn’t she too dangerous a goddess? If Aphrodite were to wield beauty as a weapon…

“I really can’t stand it! I, the king of the gods, will decide who will have Aphrodite!”

Zeus, who had been frowning, suddenly got up from his seat and glared at the male gods fiercely.

Before he knew it, he was holding a flashing lightning bolt in his hand.

“First of all, I will leave everything up to the choice of Aphrodite, the person concerned! However, those who already have a wife must not woo Aphrodite any more!”

Zeus’ words were met with mixed feelings.

Those who were already married to suitable goddesses shed sighs of regret, while smiles of satisfaction appeared on the lips of the male gods who were not yet married.

Still, this is a reasonable judgment. Zeus himself has withdrawn from the competition, so it is also a justification to ignore Poseidon’s protest…

As soon as Zeus finished speaking, an angry Poseidon turned away and left, and all the male gods began to woo Aphrodite.

“Aphrodite. If you stay with me for the rest of my life, I will only look at you.”

“Ahem! If you choose me, Ares, then all the glory that comes from the war will be given to you…”

“Beautiful lady. I am Hermes, the messenger god. Where will you be joining me on this long journey?”

“Aphrodite. How beautiful is your name. I…”

While countless male gods approached her and wooed her, I approached Hestia.

The Goddess of the Hearth, with her lips pouting and her hands on her hips, looks at me and crosses her arms.

“Huh. What is it? Hades. Don’t you have to go over there? Marriage. You haven’t done it yet, have you…”

“I’m not interested in Aphrodite. Rather…”

“What? Then why are you… standing here? No way!”

Hestia suddenly blushes and stutters.

What are you thinking that makes you so flustered? Oh, you were thinking the same thing as me.

“I. I’m a virgin. I’m sorry, but I can’t accept your heart…”

“Could it be that goddess, Gaia, who sent me?”

We cannot rule out the possibility that he is a spy sent by Gaia.

* * *

I remember that Aphrodite was the goddess of beauty and love, but I don’t know how she came to belong to Olympus.

But looking at the way she is being courted by the male gods now… could this be Gaia’s scheme to divide Olympus?

I roughly told Hestia these kinds of guesses.

“I don’t think this was sent by Gaia?”

“Why?”

“I heard that goddess was always floating on the sea, never making contact with the earth, and came straight up to Olympus?”

Is that so?

However, the beauty that captivated all the male gods is something to be wary of.

“Aphrodite! I would give all my treasures to have you!”

“There is no one who can be compared to the splendidly beautiful goddess of beauty, but I, Apollo, the sun god…”

“I’m sorry everyone, but I’ll be gone for a moment.”

Aphrodite, surrounded by male gods, pushes her way through them and approaches us.

…Huh? But why are you looking at me and coming straight at me? What is it?

“Hey, handsome guy. What’s your name?”

Aphrodite came up to me and looked up at me with a faint smile.

Didn’t you hear my name from Hestia earlier? And the male gods behind me looked at me with envy and jealousy.

I have a lot to do back in the afterlife, but my head is already starting to hurt.

“…Hades, the god of the underworld.”

“Oh my. Your name is really cool. So, Hades, are you married?”

“I have no intention of courting you, so go find another male god.”

“Hmm. You don’t like me?”

The goddess of beauty staring at my face with sparkling eyes.

You don’t like it? What man can escape that beauty?

In fact, when I met her up close, I felt my heart move too.

“It’s not a question of whether I like you or not. I have no intention of getting married yet.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Marriage is a ceremony between those who love each other, and it is also about choosing a partner to spend the rest of your life with. So, find another male god who loves you.”

Unlike other male gods who were captivated by his charm, he must have come because he was curious since I showed no interest.

Even her actions are like that. You can really feel that she is a goddess who was born not long ago.

“Do you usually live in the underworld rather than above the clouds?”

“okay.”

“Isn’t it dark and damp underground? It must be too dark there…”

“Someone has to take charge of the afterlife.”

“Why don’t you get married?”

“just.”

Goddess Aphrodite, who asks many questions as if she is curious about many things.

But even that added a sense of innocence, which made the goddess’ beauty shine even more.

“Please take me to the afterlife too.”

“what?”

“I also want to see the underworld where Hades lives.”

You’re coming to the underworld? To the underworld that all gods avoid?

I was about to reject her outright, but then I looked back at her for a moment.

The scene where numerous male gods scream and reveal their desires.

“What…what did you say?!”

“Aphrodite. The underworld is not a place fit for a goddess as beautiful as you to go…”

“Eeeeeeeee! Aphrodite belongs to Hades…!”

“If you go to the afterlife, you must never put food in your mouth! Then you will have to live in the afterlife…”

If I reject her outright, what will happen to Aphrodite? Will the male gods of Olympus continue to fight?

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Aphrodite belonging to the underworld in the original mythology.

I glanced at Zeus, and he nodded slightly.

Could it be a sense of relief that the seeds of discord thrown into Olympus can be sent to the distant world of the underworld?

Tsk. Right. I guess we’ll have to consider it a new god to help us with the affairs of the underworld.

“I will accept on the condition that you help with the work there while you remain in the underworld.”

“Hehehe. Thank you.”

So he returned to the underworld with Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love.
