King of Underworld - Chapter 33

The Story of Othos and Ephialtes – (1)

Not long after sending the messenger, Iris arrived.

“Why did Hades come looking for me…”

“Open the passage to Olympus.”

“…All right.”

Seven rays of light flow from the tips of Iris’ fingers.

Soon a beautiful rainbow appeared and a passageway connecting space and space was opened.

They say that when traveling long distances, it’s easier to call Iris.

Shaaaa-

As you pass through the passage, space twists and a cloud-filled Olympus appears.

Let’s see… where is Zeus…

“Oh, Uncle Hades?”

“Apollon.”

Nearby was my nephew, Apollo, with his gorgeous blond hair and sparkling, sun-like eyes.

He was walking somewhere again today, holding a lyre in his hand.

“What brings you to Olympus today?”

“You don’t need to know that, but where is Zeus?”

“Oh, my father will probably be at the banquet hall over there.”

Oh, a banquet.

I sent Thanatos because he was a felon and all, but it turned out to be a false accusation.

A banquet without even thinking about the consequences of your own rape?

Once you enter the banquet hall, you can see all kinds of gods.

It’s just a regular banquet, with people drinking nectar and ambrosia and hanging out.

“Huh…? Lord Hades?”

“You don’t look like you’re in a good mood today…”

“The reason why you came to Olympus after such a long time..”

And there, sitting comfortably on a golden throne, was the king of the gods.

“Thanatos was sleeping? He is not a god who would do that. You saw it wrong…”

“Really, Father! How comfortable you were lying there…”

Zeus looks dumbfounded as he listens to the report from Ares who just came to the underworld.

His face was filled with disbelief.

Thud thud.

I walk straight towards Zeus and he looks surprised when he sees me.

“Huh? What brings Brother Hades to Olympus again…”

“Everything Ares said is true.”

“What? Then Thanatos really disobeyed my orders…!”

A vein appeared on Zeus’ forehead, but I was not finished speaking.

“But you’re talking about the human you told Thanatos to take to the underworld.”

“Are you talking about Sisyphus?”

“What on earth did I do wrong that the King of the Gods himself summoned Thanatos and sent him to the underworld?”

“Ah… haha…”

Zeus seems to notice something and gives an awkward smile.

Yes, as you know, in our afterlife there is Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory.

“As Hades said, what on earth did Sisyphus do wrong to deserve this?”

Hera, who was eating ambrosia from a distance, approaches.

Her face, that of the Queen of the Gods, was filled only with curiosity. It seemed as if she had no idea what was going on.

You deserve to know, so I should tell you clearly.

“Hmm. That’s Zeus raping…”

“Ahh! Ahem ahem! Brother, wait. Just wait!”

“Tsk! You be quiet! So what did Zeus say?!”

The guy looks flustered and tries to change the subject, but it’s no use.

Hera sensed something strange and silenced Zeus.

Do you know why I’m bringing this up here?

Get your karma back, Zeus.

“Hera, do you know the river god Asopos?”

“I’ve heard of that god too.”

“Zeus raped that daughter, and the man who reported the rape to Asopus was Sisyphus.”

“…?!”

Zeus slowly got up from his seat, keeping an eye on things, but was caught by Hera.

“So… in conclusion, when Zeus found out that he had raped someone, he tried to kill the human who told him…?”

“yes.”

Hera glances at Zeus, then turns her gaze back to me.

“You’re not lying, are you?”

“With the help of the goddess Mnemosyne, I have verified this. I swear on the River Styx that all this is true.”

“Zeus… Zeusuuuu!!!”

Hera’s face instantly turned into that of a demon.

As the queen of the gods, she is the goddess of home and marriage.

Obviously, acts such as rape and adultery are absolute evils from her perspective.

“Hmm!”

“I thought you’d let me stay still after forcibly touching another goddess this time!”

“Should Thanatos, the god of death, punish the mortal who told him about your rape?”

The guy can’t say anything and just sweats coldly.

Ohh.. Look at you avoiding eye contact.

“No, brother, that… Thanatos is my majesty as the king of the gods…”

“Majesty? Does the god of rape, who forces himself into relationships with anyone he wants, have dignity?!”

Zeus’s complexion becomes even bluer.

That’s understandable, because Hera was also open-eyed and chattered nonstop next to him.

“You’re always like that. You go after pretty girls, whether they’re Leto, Europa, or human women, and I can’t tell if you’re the king of gods or the king of adultery. Let me tell you how many times you flirted with Iris today! And this time you raped the daughter of the river god? And you sent the special human who told you about it to the underworld? If there’s even one thing I’m saying that’s wrong, then refute it…”

“Ugh… I… I was wrong.”

You must have admitted it with your own mouth.

“Then pay me compensation.”

“Compensation… compensation?”

“Because of you, the work in the underworld has been busy for several days, to the point of bursting, so I’ll have to borrow the gods of Olympus for the time being.”

Zeus looks around and rolls his eyes.

And then he opened his mouth slightly…

“Hmm. Hmm. Of course. You can take whatever you want, hyung..”

“And never again will you try to manipulate the busy gods as you please, especially for something as useless as this…”

If I had said no, I would have thought about just cutting that bastard’s ass off with a squeegee.

But he is the king of the gods and is also being tormented by Hera, so let’s move on from this.

“Zeus! I’m not done with the story yet!”

“That’s… this time…”

Another reason I came up here in the first place was to take some gods to the afterlife.

Rather than argue with Zeus any further, I should quickly return to the underworld and get back to work.

Let’s see, who should we bring to do the work?

Athena, who has experience in the underworld? Or Ares, who is good at controlling the souls?

My gaze turned to the side.

Ares, who had been absentmindedly listening to the conversation, made eye contact with me and waved his hand.

“Ugh…! Uncle Hades, it would be better for you to take Athena with you rather than me!”

“…You deserve the credit for reporting the atrocities of the god Thanatos to the underworld right away, so I’ll spare you.”

I looked around the banquet hall, leaving Zeus behind, with ichor flowing from his ears as he listened to Hera’s continued nagging.

Where… is there a person, no, a genius, who is perfect for the afterlife?

* * *

Gods have all senses superior to those of humans.

A conversation from a distance can be heard very well, unless it is blocked by divine power.

thus…

“Has Zeus raped someone again?”

“No.. Father..”

“This time, Asopos’ daughter is sacrificed…”

It is only natural that Zeus’s notoriety grows further.

The virgin goddesses sigh, and even the already married goddesses shudder.

“Should I just swear my virginity on the River Styx?”

“Rather like the goddess Athena…”

“Was it true that Zeus was a god of rape and adultery?”

Among all this, there is one goddess who shows a different reaction.

“Oh my, Zeus won’t come to me…”

A beauty that seems to embody the beauty of the entire world.

Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love.

Ares’s face relaxes and his eyes become dazed as she smiles, the corners of her lips slightly raised.

Then something bad will happen to Hephaestus… Tsk tsk.

Aphrodite walks lightly on the clouds and approaches me as I look around at the gods.

No, there you go again with that headache-inducing waist belt.

“Hades, I see you came to Olympus today, so you must have wanted to see me again?”

“Go to your husband.”

The goddess of love’s beautiful forehead slightly frowns.

But even that, sublimated into beauty, the goddess smiles at me.

“Hehehe… I wonder how long you’re going to keep being annoying…”

“Aphrodite, don’t trouble Hades too much.”

“Oh my? Lady Hestia?”

Hestia, who was guarding the brazier in one corner of the banquet hall, quietly approaches and speaks.

“Didn’t Lady Hestia swear an oath to preserve her virginity on the River Styx?”

“…? What does that have to do with this?”

“I can only guess that there is one thing that would prevent free love between men and women.”

Aphrodite turns around and whispers behind the relatively short Hestia.

Is that sinister gaze a characteristic of the goddess of love?

“Hot! Hades and I aren’t like that!”

“Hey, you can just tell me. Leave your love advice to the goddess of love~”

Wait, wouldn’t Aphrodite’s charms be useful in controlling the spirits of the underworld?

* * *

“Aphrodite.”

“Yes, go ahead, Hades.”

“Have you ever thought of coming to the afterlife for a moment?”

Aphrodite speaks to me with a big smile.

“Ah~ So that’s your taste. You should have said something sooner. Spending time in a quiet, secret place isn’t so bad either.”

“So, are you thinking of coming?”

“Of course there is!”

That smile has a fascinating divine power that makes my head hurt, but

I smiled too. If I am like this, the souls who come to the afterlife will be completely out of their minds.

“Since you’re the goddess of beauty and love, you probably don’t have anything else to do on Olympus, right?”

“Of course! I can spend a hot night with you… no, several hot days and nights with you.”

Hestia, who was looking at us like that, shudders and then takes on a determined expression.

It’s not what you think…

“Ha… Hades! That won’t do! You have Lether and Styx…”

“Aren’t you goddesses who haven’t even married Hades yet? I’ll have a good time first…”

“Hmm. Good times, that’s a very nice thing to say.”

If you come to the afterlife, everyone will be able to work a little more happily.

Especially the boatman Charon and the lesser gods would love it.

As Aphrodite and I looked at each other and smiled expectantly,

A loud noise was heard from the outskirts of Olympus.

Boom! Kwung!
