King of Underworld - Chapter 21

The Story of Poseidon – (2)

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

When I didn’t seem surprised by his bold remark, Poseidon picked up his glass again.

“Is the position of King of the Gods so desirable?”

“Oh… that’s not it.”

The sea god slowly opens his mouth while shaking his head.

As Poseidon raises his hand, his retinue hurriedly moves away from us.

“Zeus is no longer worthy to stand above us. Considering what happened to Typhon…”

“We would have won anyway, right?”

“But I was defeated once, my tendons were cut, and I was thrown into a cave, looking ugly. Even though I fought with a squeeze.”

Poseidon has always been ambitious.

When the lottery was drawn for the rule of the world, I was chosen for the underworld, which everyone avoided.

He always regretted that he did not have dominion over the sky.

But it didn’t seem like they would rebel from the start.

I guess you thought I was disappointed in Zeus for helping him in his fight against Typhon.

“It is absurd that the one who rules over the heavens, the king of gods, would be defeated. Hades, Zeus, who even asked for help from you, will not be able to win the fight against the Giants that will come one day.”

You are talking about the time you asked me for help through Hermes.

But I don’t feel like driving out Zeus just because of one defeat…

“That’s what happens when you decide dominance by drawing lots. It’s a bit odd to see him struggling against Typhon despite his overwhelming power.”

“So you’re going to drag me in?”

“Of course, you may not be interested, but I promise you a very satisfying reward if you just drive out Zeus.”

No, I don’t need any compensation or anything.

There’s not much I want in the first place.

“Do you think you have a chance if I help you? No. You asked the wrong question..”

“Hahaha! Of course! If only the underworld would help, we have a good chance of winning.”

Zeus is incredibly strong.

King of the gods, master of lightning, and ruler of the sky.

They say that even if all the gods combined, they couldn’t defeat Zeus alone…

That is, when Poseidon and I are excluded.

If two out of the three Lords join forces, we have a decent chance of winning. But why should I join a rebellion?

Zeus would be better than you.

“Okay, I’m not against that rebellion.”

“Even if you grant me anything except the dominion of heaven?”

“No matter what you give me, I think I’m better off the way things are now.”

Poseidon frowns slightly and ponders.

It seems like you don’t understand me, who, like Zeus, doesn’t succumb to things like power.

“But… I was unlucky enough to end up stuck at the bottom of the basement…”

“If I hadn’t gone underground, whichever one of you went to the afterlife would have fought to the death.”

“Huh.. Hades, I didn’t know you would do this..”

Poseidon thinks for a moment and then crosses his arms.

“Then, should I show you evidence that Zeus is unfit to be king? Hera!”

“what..?!”

As soon as Poseidon opened his mouth, the door behind the place where we were talking opened.

What emerged from there was Hera, the queen of the gods with a chilling beauty.

She spoke in a cold tone.

“Hades, I can no longer watch Zeus’s atrocities.”

* * *

I was a little surprised when I opened the door and Hera walked out.

Somehow, it seems that Poseidon wasn’t talking about rebellion for nothing.

“No, there’s no way Zeus wouldn’t know you came here…”

“Zeus is always having affairs, ignoring my words as his wife and the goddess of the home. He is currently having fun with another goddess.”

But just speak comfortably, you don’t have to be formal with me.

Just like before you took on the title of Queen of the Gods…

“There are more than a dozen goddesses I’ve touched so far. Even the goddesses I haven’t caught up with…”

Hera curses Zeus with a very angry face.

No, of course you would be angry.

“Whew… How can he spend a night with both goddesses and humans as long as they look good to him? My insides are burning like the flames of Hephaestus’ forge…”

Oh, yeah… oh…

It seems to me that you are a rebel.

Isn’t this Zeus’ fault for not listening even when I say it?

As I made a blank face, a confident voice came out of Poseidon.

“You see? Even though the king of gods took the goddess of the family as his wife…”

“Can’t you hear your wife getting angry in the sea?”

“…Of course, unlike Zeus, if I were to become the ruler of the sky, I would be confident that I would only look to Amphitrite.”

Lie with your mouth full of saliva.

Who the hell believes that?

“Not only Hera, but Apollo will also join our plan. At this rate, we can still win even without you, right?”

“Do you really think so?”

“Hades, even without your help, I, Poseidon, will become the King of the Gods. What’s wrong with siding with the one who’s going to win anyway?”

Are you going to convince me with that logic now?

Even Apollo, Hera, and Poseidon would probably be defeated…

And Zeus is also the god of kingship.

You and Zeus are both the same, but Zeus might be a little better.

Apollo, the son of Zeus, decided to join in the rebellion. Was he resentful of him cheating on his mother, Leto, and leaving her behind?

“Zeus is strong. Even if you guys are together, there’s no way. I’ve said it many times, but I’m against rebellion.”

“Haa… I don’t think I became a coward when I fought Typhon, so why is that…”

“If you help me overthrow Zeus, I will give you my daughter, Hebe, the goddess of youth. Is that not enough?”

Now he says he’ll give me his daughter…

If you are my daughter, you are my niece. My niece.

“I also have beautiful goddesses of the underworld.”

“Are you referring to Styx, who rejected the persistent courtship of the Titan god Pallas? Or Lethe, who always walks around with a blank expression? Who is more beautiful than my daughter?”

“Not that far. I’m going to go now.”

I got up from my seat, feeling a little annoyed.

Hera’s anger at Zeus is justified, but it does not give me cause to support the rebellion.

It is unlikely that Poseidon, Hera, and Apollo could defeat Zeus, nor is it likely that Poseidon would be any better king of the gods than Zeus.

In conclusion, I don’t want to be on the losing side anyway.

I also didn’t like Hera, who seemed to be ignoring her precious colleagues in the afterlife by comparing them to her own daughter.

Poseidon nodded slowly, drooling.

“Fuck! Shit. Okay, I understand, but if you change your mind later, just contact me anytime.”

“You don’t have to worry about telling Zeus, do you?”

“Don’t tell Zeus…? Ha! It would be better for you both to stop thinking useless thoughts here…”

With Hera’s last addition, I left the sea and returned to the underworld.

If they rebel, they will be struck by lightning and the whole thing will be shattered.

Poseidon is also constantly on guard against Zeus…

Even if I tell Zeus now, Poseidon won’t know, but he’s more likely to trust what his wife and son say.

Since the rebellion hasn’t even happened yet, if you make excuses that it’s a conspiracy without any solid evidence, you’ll be the only one in a difficult position.

Zeus knows that I have no interest in his place,

I’m holding off on telling you what happened today because you might think I’m trying to alienate you and your wife.

And from what I remember from my past life, the king of the gods was always Zeus.

Never once did he change into Poseidon.

* * *

As Hades left the room, laughing at the two, Hera and Poseidon looked at each other.

A sigh escaped their mouths.

“Hmm… If Hades had helped, we would have won.”

“I wonder if I told him in vain. It would be dangerous if I told Zeus.”

“At that time, you and Apollo can make excuses. The distance between Olympus and the Underworld is far. And…”

Poseidon shook his head.

“I couldn’t help it. Athena said she would join if she could get Hades to join her.”

“It would have been much easier if the Goddess of Wisdom had helped me…”

They also asked Athena to join them,

The only answer I got from the Goddess of Wisdom was that I had no chance of winning and would be refused.

“Athena, Zeus was afraid of you and ate Metis, who was pregnant with you. Have you forgotten already?”

“….I have my complaints, but to defeat my father, at least two of the three lords must be with me.”

“Bring in Hades?”

“But Uncle Hades has no interest in power struggles, so even if I join, the outcome is obvious.”

However, after Hera’s persistent persuasion, Hades said he would join them if he could be brought in.

In the end, this is what happened.

“Zeus, that bastard, if Apollo and I join forces, it’s enough to defeat him!”

“There’s nothing we can do. We have no choice but to attack Zeus when he lets his guard down.”

* * *

A few days after Poseidon’s invitation, I was working in the underworld.

As I was flipping through the parchment paper, looking very tired from the usual workload…

“Hades! A goddess who identifies herself as Thetis has arrived at the entrance to the underworld!”

“Goddess Thetis? Let her in.”

Thetis.

Amphitrite, wife of Poseidon, is the sister of the sea goddess. I remember Prometheus’ prophecy that the son born of her would become a hero who would surpass his father.

Why did she visit the underworld when she was able to reject the courtship of Zeus and Poseidon?

She and I don’t have much in common…

Squeak-

A beautiful goddess reminiscent of blue waves entered the office.

She looked very anxious and seemed to have something to ask of me.

“Ugh… Hades! There are gods in Olympus who have rebelled against Zeus right now!”

“Is Poseidon involved in this?”

It’s just not what I expected.

It’ll probably fail anyway.

“How did you know? While Zeus was sleeping, the goddess Hera, Apollo, and Poseidon made a surprise attack, stole his lightning, and subdued him.”

This is completely beyond my expectations.

So that’s why you came to the afterlife to ask for help.

To surprise someone while they are sleeping, take away their lightning and subdue them,

Zeus was wary of Poseidon, but he probably did not anticipate the betrayal of Hera or Apollo.

This makes sense, since no god poses a major threat to power except Poseidon.

Should I have told him to be wary of Hera rather than let Zeus suspect him?

No, no. Then you would have been wary of me instead.

He might have thought that he was the brother who was framing his wife and son.

“Please call just one of the three Hecatoncheires for a moment! We must save Zeus!”

The goddess Thetis crying out for help.

But now, Tartarus is in a situation where Cronus often causes trouble and even Typhon’s head has entered.

If we take one of the three Hecatoncheires brothers with 100 hands, the rebellion will be suppressed…

In this unstable situation in Tartarus, we must prepare for any eventuality.

“I cannot invite the three Hecatoncheires. Recently, Cronus has been causing trouble in Tartarus.”

“But… the rebellion that occurred in Olympus…”

“You don’t have to worry.”

The goddess Thetis looks at me with a bewildered expression, but I am not finished speaking yet.

No matter how I think about it, Zeus is more suitable as the king of the gods than Poseidon.

Both are evil gods who are authoritarian, show off their power, and leave their wives behind to rape and cheat on them.

“Since my brother is already truly a king, he does not covet the position of king of the gods.”

“Let us take this opportunity to briefly congratulate the gods who made great contributions in the battle against Typhon.”

At least Zeus seems to have some awareness as a king.

I summoned the viand that Hephaestus had created for me and grabbed the shabby helmet that lay next to the throne of the underworld.

The one who started the rebellion was Poseidon, one of the three gods.

I too must use Quine and give it my all.

The goddess Thetis lets out a small exclamation as if she noticed my intention.

“I will ascend to Olympus myself.”

Another annoying task has arisen.
