King of Underworld - Chapter 20

The Story of Poseidon – (1)

I think the afterlife will be very busy today too… but

Hades’ office was surprisingly quiet.

Because human nations were established in various places and the world became stable, the number of deaths decreased.

There were many who had short lives and died from various monsters, accidents, or violent animals, but this was something they could handle.

But I still had one concern…

“You still don’t know where the Gigantes are?”

“Yes, I couldn’t find any trace of the monsters you mentioned.”

It was the Gigas who were the main characters of the prophecy that they could not win without the help of human heroes.

I tried to use a method to search for their location in advance and destroy them or reduce their numbers, but…

‘Is Gaia offering them shelter until their power grows stronger?’

Even Zeus of Olympus doesn’t know about it, and even if you search the entire underworld, you won’t find it, so there’s nothing you can do.

The only fortunate thing is that the day when Gigantes challenges the gods again is likely to be a long time in the future.

It takes a long time for them to gain power and become powerful through Gaia.

Gaia knows the power of the gods, who defeated even Typhon, so she will only send them when there is a sure chance of victory.

‘A human hero needs to appear before then… Cadmus is the most likely candidate, but he’s busy looking for his sister…’

While I was lost in my thoughts, a spirit from outside came in and told me that a guest had arrived.

At the entrance to the underworld, someone who looked like half fish and half god came to visit, claiming to be a messenger of Poseidon.

I realized that the time had come, as Poseidon had said last time.

I’m sure you said you had something to say at the underwater banquet.

I can guess what he’s going to say, but I’ll have to go and hear it.

Then he asked the soul soldier to bring a guest,

I unfolded the parchment and looked at the locations on Earth where the Gigas might be hiding.

No matter where you are hiding, if I catch you… I will turn you all into citizens of the afterlife.

As I was looking at the parchment with dark thoughts in my mind, the messenger of Poseidon arrived in the office.

As soon as the door opened, he bowed and greeted me.

“Lord of the Underworld! Nice to meet you. I am Triton, the only legitimate son of Poseidon!”

“Yes, I am Hades.”

A male god who introduced himself as Triton.

His appearance was that his entire body was covered in scales, and he had gills and what looked like a dolphin’s tail.

It looks like a monster with a human form, but we must consider its birthplace, which is the sea.

And the deficit… It is said that he is the child of Amphitrite, Poseidon’s legitimate wife.

“Is Poseidon’s banquet ready? Then show me around.”

“Yes! I will take you to Father’s palace!”

That’s so cool. Poseidon would love that.

* * *

This is a beach on earth.

Last time I was invited to the wedding of Amphitrite and Poseidon,

A giant whale, one of Poseidon’s servants, picked me up and guided me to the golden palace in the sea.

This time, I thought I would call the whale and go into the sea again…

Triton took a conch from his waistband and blew it.

Phew-

A magnificent sound spreads from the sky where black and white coexist,

Soon after, two giant seahorses emerged from the water.

“These are the seahorses I command. They have my father’s blessings on them, so they can move quickly in the sea.”

“Is it some kind of divine beast? Poseidon has granted it power.”

Seahorses with saddles and reins, as if someone had made them easy to ride.

I climbed onto the seahorse, feeling the sea water touching my legs for the first time in a long time.

“Then let’s go to the palace! Let’s go!”

With Triton’s words, the seahorses sank into the sea.

Slurp-

At the same time, something like air bubbles appear around me, pushing away the water around me.

Poseidon’s power to keep water from getting on your body and to allow you to breathe even in the sea.

When I was invited to the wedding of the Sea God, I just used my strength to push the water away, but now I don’t have to do that, so it’s convenient.

Bugrrrrrr-

As we entered the sea, countless fish swam among the blue world.

Deep blue mackerel, dolphins performing tricks, sea turtles…

Going down a little further, the seaweed on the floor was growing thickly, and small fish were moving busily among it.

A half-man, half-fish, who appeared to be Poseidon’s subordinate, was also seen wandering around, gathering seaweed.

The seahorse that carried me goes down a little deeper.

It felt as if a waterway was naturally opening up and guiding us somewhere.

As we descend into the depths of the sea where sunlight does not penetrate well, there is only darkness all around.

But everything was visible to God’s eyes.

The scenery of what humans call the deep sea was quite worth seeing.

They are afraid of the sea and always offer sacrifices to Poseidon…

Clear, transparent jellyfish that seemed intelligent were playing with their tentacles,

More and more of Poseidon’s minions, who were a mix of human and fish, began to appear.

“Look at this, ahahaha!”

“This turtle is cute. Should I take it home and raise it?”

“Huh? But over there..!”

Some of the beautiful nymphs, the Nereis, giggle at the sight of the sea turtles, then look this way and are startled.

Soon, Poseidon’s protective bubble and I seemed to have figured out my identity, so he quickly bowed his head and saluted me.

They blushed and walked away as Triton chuckled and waved the hand that wasn’t holding the seahorse’s reins.

Is that a handsome appearance under the sea? It’s hard to understand with an underground sense, though…

Brrrrrr-

Went down further.

Perhaps deeper than what humans call the deep sea.

Even a demigod born and raised on land would have difficulty surviving under water pressure of this depth.

But if they are children of Poseidon, then there will be no problem.

As I was leisurely looking around, a shark man approached me.

A human figure with only the lower body covered, but with webbed feet instead of soles, shark fins, and sharp teeth.

The harpoon in his hand looked sharp enough to pierce enemies even in deep water.

When I roughly estimated his strength, he seemed to be about the size of a captain of the guards guarding the area near the palace.

“I greet you, lord of the underworld. I am Andrianos, a man who has been so graciously granted the favor of Poseidon.”

He bowed to Triton as well, nodding and raising one hand.

“Triton.”

“Yeah, the banquet preparations are all done, right?”

“Yes, the preparations are perfect.”

They chatted for a while and then the hippocampus set off again.

As if we were being pulled by some force, the ocean current naturally took us to the bottom.

After moving for some time, Poseidon’s palace finally came into view.

A golden palace shining brilliantly in the sea.

Even though it was deep in the sea where sunlight should clearly not penetrate, it was brightly lit.

The magnificently constructed palace buildings and white pillars.

Colorful corals surrounded the area, and a translucent curtain appeared over the entire palace.

That shield seems to be of a similar kind to the power of Poseidon granted to the seahorse I am riding.

“Hades! Welcome to my palace!”

Finally, there was the blue-haired sea god, Poseidon, with his arms outstretched in front of the palace’s ornate gate.

* * *

The banquet prepared by Poseidon was no less magnificent than the banquets of Olympus.

Phew-

Since it was under the sea, there were quite a few seaweed dishes.

A fishman with the lower body of a fish created sweet melodies using the conch.

He became acquainted with the faces of Poseidon’s sons and the lesser gods under his command, receiving greetings appropriately.

Many new gods are born in the sea. Triton is playing with sharks.

It wasn’t bad watching the antics of the sea clowns while chewing on seaweed dishes and ambrosia.

It’s also fun to watch a talking octopus throw up several shells and spin them around in the air.

Aaaahhhhhh-!

What the heck is this?

Somewhere far away, deep in the ocean, the voice of an angry woman is heard.

What is this divine power that causes the ocean currents to swirl and the waves to rage?

“Ahem… Looks like Amphitrite is doing it again.”

“Is there something wrong with your wife?”

“Ahem. That’s what happens when you find out I often spend the night somewhere else.”

Poseidon said with a bitter smile.

So your wife found out that you cheated on her and is so angry?

What’s the difference between you and Zeus?

It seems like Hera and Amphitrite have had a really hard time.

Somehow, even though she was the mistress of the sea, she never showed up at the banquet.

Poseidon, holding a blue goblet filled with nectar in his hand, strokes his beard and speaks.

“Ugh… This time, I have to find a way to appease her. But you don’t have to worry about the sea’s mistress changing.”

“Aren’t you worried that the sea’s mistress will change, but rather that you’re upset because she’s cheating?”

He seems to be just as good as Zeus.

Who among the two will have the status of god of adultery?

I sighed and poured the nectar into my mouth.

It’s true that nectar tastes different depending on where you eat it.

How can the nectar taste so refreshing here?

A past life… huh? It feels like drinking cider.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to continue enjoying the banquet here, but now it’s time to get down to business.

I put down my blue goblet and met Poseidon’s eyes.

“Well… I already guessed, but tell me why you invited me.”

“Why are you asking when you already know? Your reasoning is correct, Hades.”

The guy grins and has an ambitious smile.

“Of course, there’s no other way than to join forces and drive out Zeus, right?”

I knew it.
