King of Underworld - Chapter 19

The story after Typhonomachia – (3)

Above the clouds, which are revered by humans, the banquets of the Olympian gods are not much different from theirs.

“This time, humans are praying to me for wind, so please show them some mercy…”

“Artemis, you are beautiful today too!”

“Once the banquet is over, I’ll have something to say to the nymphs.”

“Was the monster called Typhon really that strong?”

They converse while drinking ambrosia and nectar, the food of the gods.

“Huh.. Do you want to go somewhere quiet with me and continue talking?”

“Anytime you want.”

When a man and a woman make eye contact, they leave for a quiet place,

“I heard that one of the nymphs under your command offered a pretty useful weapon.”

“Hmm? Are you talking about my sword?

“How about a game of pankration with me? I’ll bet one of the buffaloes I’m raising these days.”

“You guys want to have a fight? I’ll be on this side…”

Have fun betting through Pankration, a fighting game, or

“Hahaha! Terpsichore! You’re truly amazing.”

“You compliment me, Poseidon.”

“It was a dance worthy of one of the Mousai who governs learning and the arts!”

He also enjoys art, such as listening to music played by Apollo or dancing.

At this banquet of the gods, I, Hades…

“Huh… Are you really not going to play with me?”

“Oh, and loosen that belt, my head hurts.”

“But if I don’t have this, you won’t even look at me, right..?”

He was resisting the temptation of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love that everyone admired.

Of all things, you also came with the Jerkestos Himas (the magic belt of seduction).

My head is spinning because of that, get off me, please.

Still, I know she’s only doing this half-jokingly and not trying to charm me with her full power.

“Tch.. This is boring. Are you going to keep doing that?”

“Go to your husband, Hephaestus.”

Of course, it seems like it’s half sincere, so it’s a bit like that.

No, why are you doing this when you have a husband?

“As far away from me as the Underworld and Olympus are…”

“Huh? Do I really have to do this, even though I’m the goddess of beauty?”

Aphrodite, with her arms crossed and a seductive pose with some parts emphasized.

The surrounding male gods couldn’t take their eyes off her appearance…

“And then one day something will really happen.”

“I want to receive affection rather than worry… I’ll take my leave for today.”

If you look at me from her perspective, who governs the intense emotion of love…

It must be a bit unsettling to think that someone as powerful as 3 weeks ago has completely left his domain.

As if his pride was hurt by the fact that he was not touched by the hands of beauty and love,

Aphrodite left with a frown on her face.

“Wow… what did I see? Uncle Hades, did you just reject the Goddess of Beauty?”

Hermes, holding the caduceus, approaches with his mouth open in admiration.

The snakes on his staff also turned their heads in the direction Aphrodite had left.

“I don’t think I would refuse. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a fun night?”

“ha…”

Hermes whispers softly with a sinister face, but I don’t care at all.

Why would you enjoy a secret affair with a goddess who has a husband and children?

Even Hephaestus didn’t do anything wrong to me.

“So why did you come?”

“Hephaestus, who was working in the blacksmith shop, said he wanted to see Hades. I am also a messenger.”

Zeus ordered Hephaestus to make my weapon.

I think there’s something about making weapons that I need your help with.

“I guess I should go now.”

He put down the golden goblet containing nectar and walked away.

Is this the exclusive forge of Hephaestus of Olympus?

* * *

Passing through a temporary Milky Way that Iris is believed to have created by drawing water from it..

We walked for a long time, passing through the thick white clouds…

“Kyahahahaha!”

“Hahaha! Slow down, you little punk!”

As the lesser gods, who appeared to be in love with each other, passed by me, Hephaestus’ forge came into view.

Bang! Bang!

The sound of metal hitting, the heat so hot that even the believers can feel it, the flames rising high into the sky.

The walls of the forge were filled with all sorts of divine weapons that, if they fell into human hands, would start a war to obtain them.

Is that a sword that shoots out flames every time you swing it? Is this armor made of blue metal that becomes harder when it receives impact?

“Are you here, Grandfather?”

“hmm.”

As I was admiring the weapons touched by Hephaestus’ hand, he came out and greeted me.

The limping but muscular and strong-looking man was holding a hammer in his hand.

“Everything here is a failure, so I’m embarrassed to show you.”

No matter how you look at it, these are things that would cause chaos if even one of them fell into the summer.

Still, it would make sense from the perspective of the blacksmith god who created Aphrodite’s magical belt and Hermes’ winged sandals.

So I asked him why he was looking for me,

Hephaestus said, scratching his cheek with an innocent-looking face.

“I was making a spear called Bident to give to my uncle, and I was wondering if you could give it some divine power.”

“Bydent..?”

I did use my spear a lot in the war against the Titans.

Did Zeus see that and tell him to make a spear?

“Then, are you going to make my weapon a trident like Poseidon’s?”

“No, this is a two-pronged spear.”

“But I have this Styx sword, so the weapon is fine..”

He unsheathed his sword at his waist and handed him the Styx sword.

The blacksmith god examined the blade intently for a moment, then smiled and said to me.

“This sword is quite excellent, but it cannot compare to the Triaina and the Lightning. However, the Vident I am about to show you can dare to compare with them.”

“Hoo..”

Hephaestus spoke confidently, then came out of the forge wearing iron gloves and carrying a spear.

I reached out to the window, which was still red with heat.

Passsssss…

As the dark, black divine power from me touched the viand, the outer surface of the spear was finely shaved off.

But that was only for a moment, as the viand soon accepted the divine power and turned black.

At first glance, it was obvious that it was out of the ordinary, but it didn’t end there.

“Please wait a moment, there is still some finishing work to be done.”

Hephaestus carefully took the spear and went back into the forge.

Soon the sound of metal hitting each other and the clashing of different energies began to be heard.

Kakang! Tsk tsk tsk.. Kkang! Kaang!

The only people with skills comparable to Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths, are the three Cyclops brothers who created my Cyclops.

I waited leisurely for the work to be finished.

When Helios’ sun chariot reached the end of the world and it was now the turn of the moon goddess Selene,

Hephaestus, who was busy with his work, called me.

“It’s all done! Give it a swing!”

A blade with a shiny black surface.

Just looking at it gives off a cold aura, but to me it feels like a familiar afterlife.

He picked up the viand with his right hand as if possessed.

The window emits a soft resonance as if it recognizes its owner.

If you put a little strength into the spear that fits comfortably in your hand, it will release an aura that is several times stronger.

An ominous black divine power enveloped the viand, and I looked down at the window for a moment before violently throwing it into the sky.

Kwaaaaaaa-

A fierce spear strike that tore a large hole in the clouds above Olympus and flew straight across the sky.

Seriously, it’s the best.

I’m not jealous of Poseidon’s Triaina at all.

“Do you like it?”

“I don’t like it… but?”

“And since you’ve just been imprinted with divine power, you’ll be able to summon it at any time, even from far away!”

No, does it even have that function?

There’s absolutely no way I’ll ever lose this.

It’s not at all inferior to the real Poseidon’s trident…

Shouldn’t I be giving you some kind of reward for this?

I asked Hephaestus, who had a satisfied expression, if he had any wishes.

“I’m glad you like it. I do have a favor to ask though…”

“Tell me, if it’s a wish I can grant, I will grant it.”

“Please use that vident often and spread the word about what I’ve created!”

Isn’t that obvious?

“I wish it would be widely known that the world’s greatest blacksmith, Hephaestus, created the Bydant, which is comparable to the triad made by the Cyclops brothers!”

He assured the blacksmith god, whose eyes sparkled, that he would certainly grant that request.

It seems like you want the honor of creating an excellent weapon, so that shouldn’t be a difficult task.

But aren’t the three Cyclops brothers a bit higher up the list when it comes to being the best in the world?

Ah! You’ll understand once you try competing with the Quine that Arges made!

* * *

Kang! Kaka Kang!

I returned to the underworld, holding an old and worn-out looking helmet in one hand and colliding with the Vident.

Two weapons of nearly equal strength collide, sending sparks flying.

“Gyaaaah! Hades! Again, another weapon test with that precious helmet!”

The goddess Styx, who was passing by, saw me and stopped me in horror.

No, just try it a few more times…

“The sword I made for you is like that, so who on earth would test a weapon on it?”

“Oh, by the way, this veil was made by Hephaestus, the greatest blacksmith of Olympus…”

The goddess Styx comes to me and starts to get angry.

If you flap your hands and stomp your feet like that, there’s a hole at the bottom of the underworld… no.

“Why do you keep working so hard(?) when you can’t even keep Quinae in the treasure vault with care, even though it’s not enough! I told you last time..”

I tried to change the subject naturally, but it didn’t work.
