King of Underworld - Chapter 40

Bad Omens – (2)

“Lord Hades! Please help me! A monster that is a combination of a snake and a human…!”

This is… the prayer of my followers.

This is also the earnest prayer of one who has officially become a priest.

Following the request, we briefly focus on the believer’s vision and see something.

What faintly passes by is a monster with the lower body of a snake and the upper body of a human… Gigas!

Have we finally caught these guys’ tails?

“Goddess Styx, it seems that Gigas has appeared in this world. I must descend into a human body, so please wait a moment…”

“…! I’ll notify Olympus right now!”

The Goddess Styx puts down the nectar she was drinking and moves nimbly.

I also quickly left the banquet hall.

“what..!”

“Gigas?!”

It’s too far to run from the underworld to Thebes.

My followers have enough faith to accept me…

The fastest way to grasp the situation is to descend into the human body.

* * *

“Hehehe.. Even if I catch and eat one of those humans, it won’t even be noticeable..”

“Hold on, you must use it as a sacrifice for the descent.”

A dark cave near the mountainside, a little distance from Thebes.

Muscular monsters with the lower body of a snake and the upper body of a human gaze at the humans dragged into the cave and lick their lips.

A dozen or so monsters with bodies that look like the combined size of several adult males.

As Hades had guessed, they were the Gigantes, the enemies of the gods.

“Ugh… Mom…”

“May the god Apollo help us from heaven.”

“Artemis, please answer me.”

Dozens of people were shivering in one corner of the cave.

These are ordinary civilians who were kidnapped and taken away by the Gigas near Thebes.

Among them was Penedea, a female priestess of the temple of Hades.

I went out of Thebes with peace of mind, thinking that no one would dare touch the priest of the underworld.

“There was a reason why people often went missing near Thebes…”

She never would have guessed that monsters far superior to humans would capture her.

“Hahaha! Do you think the Olympian gods looking down from the sky can see into this cave?!”

“If you wait quietly, I will kill you painlessly!”

Gigas who laugh at those who shed tears and despair.

The gods did not answer their fervent prayers.

Because not everyone’s wishes were conveyed to the gods.

Prayers that are not in the temple of the god to whom prayers are offered, or prayers that do not involve many sacrifices,

The prayers of the gods are not heard unless they are from a nymph, a demigod, or a full-fledged priest.

‘Is the reason you kidnapped us because of the ritual going on there?’

All the other monsters had male faces,

The monster in the middle of the cave was different.

A beautiful female monster standing on a magic circle made of blood and reciting a spell.

“This kind of sacrifice would be enough to summon Him…”

“Encelados, we are ready now.”

“Really? Push the humans in!”

One of the half-human, half-demon monsters called out to another monster wielding a huge club.

Perhaps he is the entity commanding these monsters.

“You come here first.”

“Gyaaaah!”

A menacing hand grabs the woman by the hair and drags her away.

The female monster reaches out and grabs the heart, pulling it out and scattering it on the floor.

“Ugh… euaaaah!”

“Ah. No. I don’t want to die!”

Phew.

“Don’t be so loud.”

It’s no use trying to run away.

It’s no use trying to resist.

All the people who were brought here were unable to escape,

To be offered as a sacrifice to that bizarre ritual.

The male chosen as the next sacrifice shouts.

“Do you think the gods will just sit still? I will watch your end from the afterlife!”

“That’s really scary. Hahahahaha! If possible, I wish the goddess Athena would come!”

The cave was filled with laughter as the leader-like monster wielding a club laughed.

As the extra-human beings, who even the gods did not fear, went wild, the humans became even more terrified.

“Huh. If I defeat all the Olympian gods, I will take Athena as my wife.”

“Of course, Lord Enceladus can do it. But first, we need to call him…”

“Shut up, you trust your loser husband to give me orders?”

A leader monster who scolds the female monster when it urges the ritual.

Penedea, the priestess of Hades, closed her eyes and prayed more fervently than ever.

‘Lord Hades! Please help me! A monster that is a combination of a snake and a human…!’

“Hey, bring the woman in black over there.”

“yes!”

It’s her turn next.

Gigas, who received the order, grabbed the priest’s long hair and grabbed him violently.

Penedea bit her lip so hard it bled and muttered, folding her hands together.

‘Please… I beg you earnestly. These horrible monsters…’

The prayers continue without any promise

That moment when a moment felt like an eternity,

‘Don’t worry now, I’m here.’

Salvation has arrived for mortals.

* * *

A woman praying with her hair held in her hands suddenly raises her head and looks at Gigas in front of her.

Instead of the clear pupils that a human should have, her eyes were filled with a deep darkness.

“Huh? This guy’s eyes… are so big!”

A black shadow rose from beneath his feet and pierced Gigas’ wrist and neck in turn.

It was such a vain death for a monster that could even stand up to gods.

“Power? Even if he is an Olympian god, he cannot possess a human body…!”

“You came out here without any water or weapons!”

Then, with a slight wave of his hand, a black line was drawn connecting the surrounding Gigas that were rushing towards her, no, him.

A pitch-black divine force tears through space and even tears apart the bodies of monsters that are harder than steel.

Kwajajajajak! Kookung!

Now all that’s left is… Enceladus, blocking the female monster’s attacks with his giant club.

And a female monster frowning behind him.

“What are you, one of the twelve Olympian gods?”

“Pluto, the god of wealth… no, Hades. You’ve probably heard of my name, right?”

“…three weeks ago!”

The Vydent responds only to the call of Hades himself, not the incarnation.

The Styx is located at the waist of the main body in the underworld.

The sacred water created by the Cyclops, Cunei, was placed in the treasure vault of the underworld.

The human body that offered the prayer was neither a hero nor a demigod, but an ordinary female priestess.

However, the identity of the god who has descended to this place now is Hades, the lord of the underworld.

“Those fucking bastards…”

The careless Gigas were no match for him.

* * *

He succeeded in descending at the nick of time.

If I had been just a little bit later, my priest’s head would have been crushed by Gigas’s hand.

“Flu… Hades!”

“Lord of the underworld…”

“The richest of the rich, the Lord of souls, has come to this world to save us…”

The people around are making a fuss.

However, the name Hades seems to bring more relief than fear.

Well, it makes sense, since I was almost sacrificed in that horrible ritual…

He glanced at the humans who were kneeling, clasping their hands together, and shedding tears, then turned his gaze back to Gigas, who was holding a club.

The guy who met my eyes flinched for a moment and then gave an order to the female monster behind him.

“Huh. You won’t be a problem. As long as he comes!”

But by the time I got here, I had a grasp of the whole situation.

And what that consciousness is.

“The strange worm on the floor resembles the traps you dug on the island of Naxos.”

“…!”

“The divine power of the thick earth, the feeling of wishing for descent somewhere, similar to the sorcery performed by the goddess of magic, Hecate, during the Titanomachy…”

He waved his hand and sent the humans away.

Because from now on, this cave and mountain might collapse as a whole.

“Do the ritual quickly!”

“I have no intention of stopping you, so prepare slowly. I need to see with my own eyes who is on your side.”

These are two monsters who are extremely wary of this side, but I have no intention of blocking their consciousness at all.

The floor’s magic circle, created by grinding up countless humans and pouring out the divine power of the earth, is for the descent of the gods.

We must confirm here who is on Gigas’ side.

When the descent ritual is successful, the gods will notice the energy that is released.

It won’t be long before an attack by the gods will overturn this mountain.

There is no way Gaia wouldn’t know this.

Still, the reason why someone would want to descend is…

“Gaia’s declaration of war. A provocation and warning regarding the failure of the trap dug on the island of Naxos.”

“What the hell are you talking about, you punk!”

“By the way, who are you behind me? All Gigas are male. You are not Gigas.”

The female monster’s body trembles after being hit hard.

She was a Gigas-like monster with the lower body of a snake, but she didn’t feel like a Gigas at all.

It’s probably just another monster with a similar appearance.

“I am Echidna, wife of Typhon! I will kill all of you hateful gods!”

Typhon’s wife, that’s it.

The motive makes sense. Gaia must have told you about the strange ritual on the floor.

“Come to me, great Titan, who exists everywhere and never disappears!”

Phew!

Echidna raised her dagger high and stabbed herself in the chest.

She falls, but a powerful divine power spreads from the wound and echoes through the cave.

Kuoooo-

A stiffening body.

Time gradually slows down.

Echidna, who had just stabbed herself in the chest and fallen to the floor, stands up and looks at me.

This is the method of controlling poison with poison that is not even pleasing to Gaia…

It seems like Mother Earth really wanted to drive us out.

“It’s been a long time. My eldest son, Hades. Have you missed your father?”

Bringing the consciousness of Cronus, who was imprisoned in Tartarus, to the living world.
