King of Underworld - Chapter 4
Only Ran(o)vel dot com
The Story of Gigantes – (1)
This is the underworld ruled by Hades, the god of the underworld.
It is a cold, dark place where dead souls come to find rest.
Because of the nature of the image of the underworld, most gods avoid this place, so it is also a very quiet place.
I kind of like this kind of afterlife.
Because the silence I felt when I closed my eyes brought me comfort rather than loneliness.
But there were evil and wicked intruders who invaded Hades’ resting place…
“As expected, there is an underworld just as Mother Gaia said!”
“Let’s all attack! Let’s kill Hades, the king of the underworld, and liberate Tartarus!”
“Brothers of the Gigantes! Let us free the Titans!”
They were ugly monsters with the lower half of their bodies like snakes and the upper half like humans.
These gods, who call themselves the Gigas, must have been sent by someone to attack us.
If you listen carefully to what they are saying…
It seems that Grandmother Gaia is very displeased with us for imprisoning the Titans in Tartarus.
The Earth Mother, who married Uranus, the god of the sky, and gave birth to our father Cronus, is definitely not someone to be taken lightly.
I guess he has a sense of pride, so he won’t step forward to kick us out himself…
[Ugh… I’m sorry, Hades. I couldn’t stop them with my own strength!]
The urgent voice of the Goddess Styx echoes in my head.
These people who are now invading the underworld and causing a ruckus are all gods born with the power of Mother Gaia.
With dozens of hostile creatures swarming in, it would naturally be impossible for the power of the Goddess Styx to handle them.
I also sent a message to her, telling her to take refuge in a quiet place for the time being.
[I will run to Zeus and ask for support! If all your brothers are gathered, no matter what they are…]
Although the Goddess Styx’s heart is grateful, asking for help would be useless.
The Gigantes, a race that calls themselves Gigas, invaded the underworld under the orders of their grandmother Gaia.
If so, then they would have invaded not only the underworld, but also the sea ruled by Poseidon and Mount Olympus where Zeus resided.
[Then… aren’t the other gods also dangerous?]
“It depends on how many there are.”
But Goddess Styx doesn’t have to worry.
The afterlife does not fall to such people.
The entrance to the underworld is narrow, and since there are no powerful weapons like Poseidon or Zeus, it seems like only a few dozen came.
I was so dumbfounded that I just burst out laughing. Because even though they were gods, I didn’t feel any immortal powers at all.
Not only are we not fighting on land, but they are also invading my home ground. How is this any different from fighting Poseidon in the sea?
I laughed heartily at those swollen livers.
The workers who will manage the underworld have come in on their own.
It would be perfect if we killed them all and enslaved only their souls.
I stood up from my throne and put on the transparent helmet, Quinae, placed next to me, and my appearance was completely hidden from this world.
He drew the sword forged in the River Styx, a sign of his promise that even the gods would have to keep if he swore on this spot.
The black darkness naturally clung to my body, forming a suit of armor, and I climbed up the wall to scout out the intruders.
Dozens of masses of divine power pounding madly against the gates, they are the Gigantes.
Boom! Kwung!
He glanced at the Gigantes, the half-god, half-snake giants knocking on the gate, and quietly jumped down from the castle.
It would be nice to just wipe them out using divine power or authority, but they are powerful enough to rival the Titans.
Since we don’t know how many more enemies there are outside the underworld, it would be less exhausting to cut off their heads one by one with the Styx sword.
Just like this.
Crunch-
“Kwaaak!”
“What, what is it! I was suddenly hit!”
“I didn’t feel anything!”
He moves to another location and slashes the other Gigantes below the waist.
I take my eyes off Gigas, who is falling with an expression of incomprehension, and turn my gaze to the next enemy.
“Eww!”
“I can’t detect any movement! Where are you! Hades!”
The Gigas stood back to back and watched from all sides, but it was no use.
The monsters, who appeared to be newly born, did not know how to use their great powers.
“Let’s throw the rocks on the ground, brothers!”
“Spray blood to determine location!”

I don’t know if they would be able to support me if I had the experience of surviving a long time on the battlefield, but right now they are just puppies.
For me, with my years of experience in warfare against the Titans, killing them was too easy.
“Why! I clearly checked this direction!”
“Kwaaak! My back… My back…!”
Do you really think that my helmet, which is comparable to the Astraea and the Trident, will show its position to that extent?
He whispered in the ear of the terrified Gigas and pierced his heart with the sword of Styx.
Well, now that we have enough corpses, let’s start making some subordinates.
[Get up]
“Ugh… ugh…”
“…Ugh”
“The spirits of my dead brothers are rising! It’s the power of the god of the underworld!”
“I should have brought more brothers!”
The dead Gigas are enveloped in black smoke, and then a white figure rises and attacks the other Gigas.
All souls who come to the underworld belong to me, Hades. Even gods are no exception.
“Eww! Sa…save me!”
“Our mother is Gaia! We are your blood relatives!”
What do you mean? You came here to kill me, so what are you talking about?
Finally, I quietly took off my Quine as the remaining Gigas were surrounded by translucent spirits.
Wearing a helmet on your head is actually a lot more stuffy than you might think.
Especially in this Quine, an intangible energy surrounds me, so I feel like something is wrapped around my whole body.
The last intruder, who has now discovered me, trembles and begs for his life.
When you stormed into the afterlife with such force, didn’t you ever think of something like this?
“Hey… Wait a minute! If you save me, I’ll never come back to the afterlife again..”
Squeak. Phew!
The storms of time have a way of turning the souls of even the weak modern people of the 21st century into the cruel gods of the underworld.
All the Gigas who dared to enter the underworld without fear were turned into a handful of souls.
* * *
[Hades. You have killed all the invaders who came to the underworld.]
[You may come out now.]
[What the hell is going on..]
I ordered the Gigas, who were spirits that obeyed only my orders, to clean up the filthy underworld and called upon the goddess Styx.
Soon a stream of water gushed out from the River Styx, and the goddess Styx appeared before me, with one arm bleeding.
“Whew… It really seems like Gaia wants war.”
“The reason why Mother Earth has been quiet until now may be because she has been working hard to create those Gigas.”
In this era, the 12 gods of Olympus have not yet been established.
No, it was a time when there were no gods, let alone humans.
Gradually, my knowledge of the future and of mythology began to fade from my mind, but there was one thing I remembered.
Just like Odin in Norse mythology, who prepares for the war of Ragnarok, Zeus also raises human heroes to help us.
However, there are not many gods of Olympus today, and there are no human heroes who will take the side of the gods.
Now is the perfect time for Gaia and the Titans to seek an opportunity to rebel.
He ordered the ghosts who had been dreaming of sweeping away the underworld to prepare to defend this place and prepared to go to Olympus.
Now that the invasion of the Gigas is underway, the most urgent place is not Poseidon, who is showing off his invincible power in the sea, but the palace of Olympus.
“Are you going to Olympus now? If so, should I come with you?”
He told me to guard the afterlife from here because they might come again.
Someone must remain here, because if Tartarus is breached, our defeat is certain.
“Then how about I go and you guard the afterlife?”
The Gigas gathered in the underworld are powerful gods, but they number only a few dozen.
Grandmother Gaia must have guessed that these alone wouldn’t be enough to defeat us.
Surely hundreds or more Gigas would have swarmed Olympus and were causing mayhem.
If there is any meaningful reinforcement that can influence the world, I have to go there myself.
Well, that Zeus guy probably isn’t expecting much.
“Ugh… Be careful.”
He appeased the sad goddess Styx and crossed the five rivers surrounding the underworld to head to the surface.
The warm sunlight and vibrant plants on the ground, which I hadn’t seen in a long time, greeted me, but the air was very heavy.
Evidence that a war between gods on a massive scale is affecting the world.
Of course, we must head to Mount Olympus quickly.
