King of Underworld - Chapter 31

Sisyphus… The Story of Thanatos – (2)

Lately, the Goddess Styx has been avoiding me.

I think it’s because of that embarrassing appearance I showed last time.

As the conversation continues while you help the underworld with your work as if nothing happened…

“Then… I’ll go see the river for a bit!”

“ah…”

It gradually turns red in the order of ears, nape of the neck, and face, and slowly leaves.

Have you ever tried to catch one? Of course.

“Goddess Styx, let me talk to you for a moment…”

“Gyaaaah!”

“ah…”

I couldn’t help it, she was running like a virgin running away from Zeus.

Well, it doesn’t end here…

When you feel a gaze from around a corner a little further away and look up, you see the goddess Lethe with dead eyes for some reason.

“Hades…”

Never before have those blank eyes seemed so frightening.

My skin feels tingly as if he is silently reprimanding me.

I’ve been staring blankly at the parchment because my relationship has been feeling strange lately.

A soul approaches with an urgent face.

“Lord Hades!”

“…?”

“The souls in the afterlife haven’t come for several days!”

Well then, how could this afterlife be peaceful?

I hastily called a meeting of the underworld.

The other gods also arrived quickly, having been informed of the disappearance of death.

“Suddenly, the souls that used to come to the afterlife have disappeared!”

“I can’t see Thanatos at all!”

Thanatos, the god who is death itself personified.

It is his job to bring souls to the afterlife.

But he was sent to Olympus because Zeus asked him to?

What kind of criminal was that? I sent him to the afterlife to bring his soul there for judgment.

But you’re saying he hasn’t returned to the afterlife yet?

The gods of the underworld also seemed to sense something strange and were expressing their opinions with serious expressions.

Even the goddesses Lethe and Styx have serious expressions at this time.

“I think I ran into Gigas while trying to catch that criminal.”

“The quickest way to break the cycle of life and death is to capture Thanatos.”

“Could this be the work of a monster like Typhon?”

And the Gigas that Cadmus saw near Thebes,

Gaia can create a new monster to succeed Typhon and attack Thanatos.

Thanatos is a powerful deity, but he is not invincible.

That you could easily be attacked or captured by monsters.

“First… let’s contact Olympus and take care of the situation on the ground.”

Without Thanatos, who rules over death, the other gods have no choice but to suffer more.

The current situation in this world is a complete mess.

“Eww! The dead chicken is alive and moving!”

“I cut off the cow’s head, but the body is still alive!”

“Damn it! Why aren’t you dead, you punk!”

“You’re the one who’s alive even after having a knife stuck in your head!”

First, the gods Moros and Ceres, who are in charge of some death, are busy harvesting souls.

For those who should have died, the god Hypnos put them into a long sleep to buy them time.

We have no choice but to contact Olympus and ask about Thanatos’ whereabouts.

“Damn it! What kind of suffering is this because of Thanatos!”

“You must have had a hard time working so far, so you’re not resting somewhere, are you?”

“That can’t be! Have you ever seen Thanatos rest for several days?”

“Well, it never happened even once!”

* * *

Meanwhile, this is Olympus.

Here, too, the situation was as urgent as that of the afterlife.

When life on earth did not face death, many gods cried out to the supreme god, Zeus.

“Father! Humans are not dying on the battlefield!”

“That’s… If this is the case, the cycle of life in nature…”

“Hades of the Underworld strongly protested. The whereabouts of the god Thanatos…”

“No, Thanatos must have gone to catch that demigod…?”

But even the supreme god Zeus could not properly understand this situation.

Athena, whom he often asked for opinions, was absent from the meeting because she had some business to attend to.

“How can someone like that defeat Thanatos?!”

Even to Zeus, Sisyphus seemed to have a brilliant mind, but he did not seem to have any special strength.

A word from Pan, the god of nature, who gave confidence to Zeus.

“Zeus… Are you sure you were attacked by a monster like Typhon… or Gigas…?”

“There is some truth to that. This must have been what happened while trying to catch Sisyphus!”

Zeus, judging that this was a reasonable statement, immediately called Ares.

If he’s the god of war, he shouldn’t have a problem with a monster that defeated Thanatos.

“Ares! It is time for you to show the same bravery you showed when you swung your sword to save me last time!”

“Oh! You have heard of my exploits, Father!”

“He must have been attacked by a monster on his way to capture that damned human. You rescue Thanatos and tell that human that he’s dead!”

“Okay! Just trust me!”

Ares smiled ferociously, steeling his resolve.

If he could defeat Thanatos, he must be either Typhon’s bloodline or Gigas.

He put on his armor, thinking of the thrilling battle with Typhon.

After the last rebellion, I took out the famous sword that Hephaestus had newly made for me.

The monster(?) that attacked Thanatos will be defeated by the god of war.

* * *

Ares arrived in Corinth in his chariot, riding high.

I heard that Thanatos’ traces were cut off here, so I decided to investigate.

But no matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find any trace of him being dragged away by the monster.

Ares, feeling strange, entered the palace of Sisyphus, the human Zeus had spoken of.

He plans to interrogate the human who was Thanatos’ original target and ask him if he has seen the black-winged god.

And since he’s also a king, he might be able to find traces of any monsters that might have appeared nearby.

“Intruder! Stab the window!”

“What the hell are you doing! This is the palace!”

Ares glanced around at the Corinthian soldiers surrounding him.

None with special weapons.

No gods or heroes.

There are no monsters that could pose a threat to him.

Well, I guess I don’t have to worry about that at all.

The God of War simply ignored everything and stepped into the depths of the palace.

The poor soldiers thrust their spears and swords, but they could not wound a god, especially one of the twelve Olympian gods.

“Eww! Stop it!”

“Ah… no! The window is broken!”

“The sword won’t work! Run away!!”

He paid no attention to what the humans were saying and went looking for King Sisyphus.

Deep inside the palace, if you go a little further down…

That’s right, this guy is the one who makes surprise attacks wearing fancy clothes, a crown, and a club.

A man who appears to be half-god and half-human is swinging a wooden club and shouting something.

“Zeus sent me to kill me! But this birch tree…”

At that moment, Ares’ senses, which had reached the depths of the palace, were struck by something.

Ignoring the club swinging at my head, I expanded my divine power and broadened my senses.

This force felt underground, underground, is clearly the aura of death.

Crunch. Crunch.

“Wh…what! I hit the head and the club broke?”

There is no need to worry about this human being who has sinned.

If Thanatos, who is believed to be underground, moves, Sisyphus will be taken to the underworld.

Ares ran in one stride and opened the door leading to the basement.

Why do I feel Thanatos’ power underground, or was I injured by a monster?

Drumroll- keuheu-

What Ares saw as he went down to the basement was…

It was an old god with black wings who had lightly cut the ropes that bound him and was sleeping with his legs stretched out in the shape of the letter “大”.

Thanatos, who seemed to be sleeping very comfortably, opened his eyes while snoring and scratching his stomach with one hand…

I met eyes with Ares, who had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

* * *

Ares has a violent and simple-minded side, but

That’s because he was a deity symbolizing violent war, he himself wasn’t that stupid.

It’s a daily occurrence to be fooled by Athena, but that’s because she’s the goddess of wisdom.

In the mind of the god of war, during the last great flood,

Memories of working in the underworld after falling for Athena’s scheme begin to surface…

“Damn it! What the hell are these fucking souls doing…”

“Huh… Ares?! Help me line up the souls over there!”

“The feathers on my wings are falling out again today… Is this hair loss, or rather, molting ? ”

Thanatos sent numerous clones to the world of the living to work day and night.

In the whole of the underworld, no, in the whole world, there is no god who is busier than him.

Thanatos, who works hard without resting even for a moment.

Ares would have been desperate for a break if he were in his shoes.

The evidence is growing stronger, and the evidence is gradually fitting in.

1. Thanatos was sleeping, snoring, with the rope untied.

2. Not a sleep caused by external factors such as the power of Whipnos, but simply a resting state.

3. There is no sign of any monster nearby that could defeat Thanatos.

4. The power felt from Thanatos’ body was still there, and there was no sign of it being weakened at all.

Thanatos, who was observing Ares’ face gradually decaying, opened his mouth in a hoarse voice.

“Is it Ares?! You came to save me after I was attacked by a human because I let my guard down!”

“ha…”

First, wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth and lie, Thanatos.

Ares quietly touched his forehead.
