King of Underworld - Chapter 55



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

Prophet Prometheus – (3)

After taking the letter I received from Pandora and the golden necklace, I went to see the goddess Styx.

She was immersed in the River Styx, and as soon as she saw me, she slowly came out of the water.

The goddess’s thin clothes clung to her wet body, drawing gentle curves…

I forced myself to avert my eyes because I had something to say.

“Hades, that necklace in your hand…”

“Pandora’s necklace is exactly as you wish, Goddess.”

He told the goddess Styx, who looked puzzled, about Gaia’s prophetic powers and the story of Prometheus.

Everything from now on, I will briefly leave the afterlife to persuade him.

“So, I would like the goddess to take charge of the underworld for a little while.”

“Hmm… I’ll let the other gods know too. I hope it goes well in persuading Prometheus.”

“If Tartarus opens or something urgent happens, to Thanatos…”

Persuading Prometheus is a task that must be absolutely successful.

Because this is the only way to deal with Gaia’s prophecy.

“Then I will go to Mount Caucasus where Prometheus is chained.”

“…Is there anything you want to say to me?”

“Ahem. It’s cold outside. Please change your clothes.”

You’ve been doing this more and more lately…

As I quickly turn my head and pass by, I hear a small grumbling sound behind me.

He crossed the River Lethe and passed the River Acheron in one breath, heading towards the entrance to the underworld.

The Caucasus Rocks are quite far away from here.

That is why I told Olympus in advance and borrowed Iris.

The rainbow goddess bows her head to me as I come to this world.

“Lord Hades. Shall we take you straight to Mount Caucasus?”

“Okay, connect the space there.”

Beyond the passage created by Iris’s gestures is a tall rock mountain.

Prometheus will be chained to the top of that mountain.

* * *

Wheeing-

As we move across space to the Caucasus Mountains, we feel the cold air.

The cold wind blowing from the high altitude hits my skin.

All kinds of divine powers can be felt even though you are at the bottom of a rocky mountain.

I guess it’s because Prometheus is chained there…

Countermeasures to stop Gigas and Gaia and the ignorant humans are visible everywhere.

The owl that appears between the cracks in the rugged rocks seems to be the divine animal of Athena.

I feel a refreshing and gentle divine power.

Even though it is clearly a rocky mountain, isn’t there a sacred tree of Demeter?

There was also a barrier that caused ordinary people, not heroes, to get lost and wander.

Saaaaah-

I passed through the barrier and continued up the mountain path.

Well, I’m very satisfied with how the boundaries seem to have been drawn on Olympus.

I made the lion god who bared his teeth at me near the summit retreat,

As we go around the large rock, we see Prometheus.

With his arms and legs spread out in a large shape, he was tied to a rock wall.

The Titan god, bound with chains made by Hephaestus himself, had his head bowed.

“Oh… Hades. Here comes the great god of mercy. Geez…”

As I approached him, a middle-aged looking face slowly came up to me.

The words that come out with a playfully twisted smile are sarcastic.

“How does it feel to be admired and admired for showing a little mercy to humans?”

“It’s been a while since we last met, so don’t joke around, Prometheus…”

“Kekekekeke…”

…This old man is doing this again.

This is the same personality as Prometheus, who fought alongside the gods in the Titan War before falling out with Zeus.

“Huh! If you go there, you’ll get captured by the Titans… Hehe.. If you want to go, go..”

“Ah… If it’s a prophecy, then there’s nothing I can do.”

“It’s not a prophecy, it’s a gut feeling.”

“Tsk tsk… If you use your divine power like that, you’ll end up defeated by Kronos.”

“…Another prophecy?”

“Well? Poseidon, that depends on what you think.”

“Oh my! If you keep doing that, you’re going to get in big trouble!”

“Hmm… if it’s a prophecy…”

“No? This is just my feeling.”

“……?”

At that time, we were inexperienced, novice gods.

Prometheus was a seasoned Titan god and the greatest warrior with the power of prophecy.

Everyone trusted his words, but his personality was… um…

In fact, it is reasonable to suspect that this may have been one of the reasons Zeus chained Prometheus.

“No, how is it that you have been punished for so long and your personality remains the same?”

“You don’t accept my concentration just because I’m the master of the underworld? Show me some mercy.”

Prometheus, who had been laughing out loud for a while, stopped laughing and opened his mouth.

“You came to persuade me to go against Gaia’s prophecy, right?”

* * *

“As expected, you knew.”

“I wonder what method the Lord of the Underworld has prepared. Tell me quickly.”

You knew that the future was coming, but you don’t know a specific way to convince him?

Well, that was your prophecy.

We joined because of the clear prophecy that we would defeat the Titans,

There were times when I struggled in the war because I couldn’t see everything ahead of time.

“Prometheus, don’t you love humans like your children?”

“I?”

“Otherwise, he would not have gone so far as to defy Zeus and give fire to humans.”

“Ohhh…”

“The Gigas created by Gaia are powerful, but they are the worst for humans. They eat humans and sacrifice them without hesitation.”

The Gigas were created with a focus on strength rather than wisdom in order to drive out us who defeated Typhon.

Their strength is comparable to that of the Olympian gods, but their monster-like attributes are stronger.

“Well…? Aren’t you underestimating me by being tied up here? Just looking at the humans who were sacrificed by God…”

“It’s better than Gigas.”

“Do you admit that the gods are only slightly better than Gigas?”

“…Yes. That’s right.”

“Oh… Zeus would be upset if he heard that.”

Honestly, how many humans have been sacrificed to the whims of the gods?

The afterlife is full of those who died because of prophecy, curses, or arrogance.

You can’t lie to the greatest prophet in the world.

What’s needed to convince him is not sweet talk, but the truth.

I summoned the ultimate weapon in the underworld, the Vident, in one hand.

And immediately he broke the chains that bound Prometheus.

Kakang! Boom. Boom.

The chains that bound Prometheus were made by Hephaestus at the command of Zeus.

But this veil is also an item made by the blacksmith god, and it was made with even more care.

Prometheus staggered for a moment when the chains that had bound him for so long broke.

He looked at me with a bewildered face.

“Ha. Will the King of Gods condone this too?”

“I already finished talking with Zeus before coming here.”

The Titan of Prophecy stood up, shaking off his body, and looked at me with curious eyes.

“What are you doing if you don’t get any results from me?”

“…Then there’s nothing we can do. The punishment you were given in the first place was too severe.”

“Huh… Will you let me go?”

It’s not bad to see the wise Titan gods bewildered.

Well then, slowly…

“What are these? And this necklace…”

“Pandora’s letter and necklace. I swear on the River Styx that I have never used any kind of pressure or intimidation on her.”

He looked seriously at the golden necklace held out to him, then examined the letter.

Prometheus, who seemed to be concentrating on a scroll for a long time, looking at each letter individually.

Shuuu-

Zeus’s divine beast, the eagle, flies down to eat Prometheus’ liver.

An eagle swoops down on him as he reads a letter.

Thump, thump, thump.

However, Shinsoo was captured by the Titan of Prophecy, who quietly took his eyes off the letter.

Prometheus, whose playful appearance from earlier had disappeared in an instant, looks into my eyes.

“…Phew.”

A gentle breeze blows between him and me,

He took a deep breath, exhaled, and opened his mouth again.

“…Hades, as you know, Gaia is capable of prophecy on the same level as me.”

“That’s why I need your help.”

“She knows what to do to win the war against you.”

He releases the eagle and continues speaking.

Zeus’s divine beast noticed that its easy prey had regained its strength and left.

“No matter how well you prepare… the gods will be struck by Gaia’s blow, even if I tell them in advance.”

“Are you saying that it will definitely happen at least once?”

“Of course, it will be a pretty painful blow to your plans.”

Even though there are so many gods with fire in their eyes, including Apollo, Selene, Helios and Demeter…

We can’t stop the blow? Is this Gigas’ final assault, or something else?

“But after that…”

The intuition of the three gods told us that Prometheus would open the way for us.

A strange aura seeping out of the half-opened eyes of the Titan.

I could feel a fateful prophecy about to come out of his mouth.

“If this world and the afterlife are connected, the gods will win.”

The two worlds, this world and the next, are connected… This is a definite prophecy.

There is power in words, like a curse or a blessing.

“Perhaps Zeus asked me to bring him an apple?”

Prometheus turned his body and looked at the sky as if he would not tell any more.

He cleared his throat for a moment and then let out a shout.

“Zeus! I apologize for spewing ‘harsh words’ at you!”

Gurrrrrr…

As soon as Prometheus’ shout ceased,

The sound of thunder, the symbol of Zeus, resonates.

Not a prophecy, just harsh words.

Fortunately, the statement that Zeus would be overthrown like Cronus and Uranus was not a prophecy.

It was Prometheus’ provocation against Zeus, who had chained him to a rock mountain.

And by acknowledging that fact here…

Our Olympus has taken one less thing to worry about.

“Oh, and Hades, you’d better keep your lower body a little loose! Twist, twist, twist!”

“What…what?”

Flutter-

Prometheus turned into a bird and flew away, leaving only strange words behind.
