King of Underworld - Chapter 66

The Story of Persephone – (1)

It’s been a long time since I started making mint food with Mente and spreading it to this world.

Fortunately, it worked, because Captain Caron really liked it.

Should we take a look at Seung’s reaction for a moment?

Thebes has now changed to the point where I can consider it completely my territory.

As if looking at the worship of Athena in Athens.

The believers in Dionysus were pushed out by me and became a minority…

Could it be because the story spread that those who commit crimes in pursuit of freedom and debauchery will be judged in the afterlife?

So if you listen closely, you can hear the people of Thebes talking.

If you listen to the voices of those who talk about mint near my temple…

“I think we need to adjust the mint used in funerals a little.”

“You might be able to eat plants that have received Pluto’s blessings.”

“It grows well even if you just water it, so what if you just grow it in large quantities?”

“Its main use is as a spice, like an herb, so it is not something to be grown in large quantities in the fields…”

“Mister Priest, is it true that to become a priest of Lord Pluto, you have to eat a lot of mint?”

“Hahaha! It’s true that Pluto-sama’s symbol is mint. But do you know what he said in the oracle?”

“A trust? What is it?”

“Everyone has different tastes, so he said not to discriminate against those who dislike his symbols.”

“Wow! So even if you hate mint, you can still become a priest!”

Mint tea, snacks made with mint and honey, etc.

As the fact that mint can be used in many dishes became known, the amount of mint used in funerals decreased.

I said to Mente after looking at the mint food propagation trend that was meticulously summarized on parchment.

She stood there with a slightly nervous expression. After all, this parchment was written by her…

“Mente, I guess you’re getting used to writing reports now.”

“Really? Because I use it every day… Hehe…”

Mente, who was awkward with the affairs of the underworld, is now starting to adapt.

At this point, I think I can slowly increase my workload.

He raises his head with a satisfied smile…

As if something happy had happened somewhere, Mente’s eyes met with a smirk.

“Lord Hades. Now that mint food has spread widely in this world… Um… The reward you mentioned last time…”

Hmm. Right. I had a promise with her.

I’m sure you said that if we finished this job well, we would go together on a patrol near Mount Etna.

“Obviously just me…”

“Okay. You’ve been doing a good job lately, so let’s go together.”

“Wow! Thank you!”

Prison.

No, wait a minute. Don’t suddenly hug me like that.

“lol…”

The refreshing scent of the mint goddess clinging to me tickled the tip of my nose.

* * *

Lee Seung came out with Mente.

We soon arrived near Mount Etna.

As expected, wide grasslands, animals, and numerous nymphs welcome me.

He drove a chariot pulled by ghost horses around Mount Etna to check on Typhon’s condition.

Mente waves his hand while looking at the forest a little distance away while taking in the scenery for a moment.

“Ah! Delias! Epigenes!”

“Mente?!”

“I became a priest of Hades…”

“No, didn’t you say you were a god now?”

There were some Naiads playing there, who were nymphs like Mente.

They looked happy to see Mente, and then they met my eyes as I got on the train…

“Huh… Huh?! Oh… God?”

“They say Mente became a lower-level god of the underworld… Then surely…”

“A ghost horse with black hair and black eyes… the master of the underworld?”

In an instant, his face turned pale and he hurriedly knelt down before me.

I can’t help but sigh when I see them not even thinking about leaving their seats.

I didn’t do anything and you’re already scared?

Well, who would accept the afterlife so kindly… It would be unusual for Mente to ask me out on a date on our first meeting.

“Mente. I’m going to go look around somewhere else, so you can go play with your friends.”

“Ugh… Yes, thank you. I think everyone is too prejudiced…”

I saw Mente, with a sad face, jump off the tram and run to his friends, and I ran away.

I’ll have to go back to her later.

“Oh my god… Mente, aren’t you scared?!”

“A low-level god belonging to the underworld…”

“Becoming a god is a cause for celebration, but underground…”

“Profit… The afterlife is also good!”

I can hear everything you say there…

After some time had passed, I headed to the place where Mente had gotten off.

By now, I think I’ve had enough time to unwind with my friends.

At that moment, I saw Mente waiting for me.

“Haa… I think everyone has too many prejudices about the afterlife..”

“There’s nothing we can do about it. It’s the final destination for mortals and the world of the dead.”

When I see Mente, who has gotten back on the tram, talking about the afterlife with a gloomy expression, I can’t help but laugh.

Mente, who has spent a long time in this world, has now become a native of the afterlife.

“The underworld is actually fun once you get to experience it. Now, the spirits seem cute to me.”

“Haha… Is it because you’re a strange nymph?”

“Huh? I’m just an ordinary Naiad, and now I’m a god!”

“In my eyes, you are still the strange nymph from back then.”

“Uh… I’m not weird…”

What are you talking about? Where else can you find a nymph like you?

What crazy nymph wants to spend time with the lord of the underworld?

I look back at her with a smile on my face, recalling memories from back then…

“hmm?”

Something felt off.

This strange feeling… North? A flow of power, a rapidly moving multitude.

Not one or two. At least hundreds.

Neither human, nor nymph, nor god…

“Lord Hades?!”

Saaaah-

It further increases the divine power that was suppressed while coming to this world.

The plants and animals around them were dying and the dryads, the tree nymphs, were screaming, but there was nothing they could do.

I reached out and searched the area thoroughly.

There are countless sounds moving from deep beneath the ground…

Kookookookook…

This feeling is definitely Gigas.

The hateful enemy of our gods.

An attack that mobilized at least several hundred people.

Why does it appear here, and not in Olympus or a major human city?

Ah, I see.

This is Mount Etna, the place where Typhon’s body is buried.

If Gaia were to dig up the mountain and get her hands on the body of Typhon, a powerful monster,

You could really accomplish a lot.

You could summon Typhon’s consciousness from Tartarus, or sacrifice his body to create another monster…

In the worst case scenario, Typhon might be resurrected…

Even in the best case scenario, the body can go wild and cause major damage.

If the majority of the Olympian gods do not intervene, the released body will lay waste to the surrounding area.

“Lord Hades? Is there something…”

“Gigas has attacked, so return to the underworld, Mente.”

Was this the one blow that Prometheus spoke of?

Certainly, if Typhon’s body were to be taken away, it would be a great loss to the gods.

“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.”

But Prometheus, this time your prophecy seems to have been wrong.

Because Hades is here.

* * *

Mente, the goddess of mint, was in a good mood.

He also carried out Hades’ order to spread mint food to the living world.

Because he kept his promise last time and brought her on a patrol to Mount Etna.

I also met other nymph friends I was close with in this world and relieved my worries…

Now I was going to have a good time with the handsome Hades.

I was always afraid of the gazes of the goddess Styx and the goddess Lethe, so I couldn’t go forward.

Since there are only two of us in this world, I will definitely show you my charm today!

…but that’s what Mente thought.

“hmm?”

Hades, who had been smiling affectionately(?) while looking this way, hardened his face and let out a sigh.

Black divine power slowly seeping out from his body.

“Lord Hades?!”

As if he felt something strange, he stretched out his right hand and drew out divine power.

The powerful power of the three gods who rule the underworld is released, and the surrounding flora and fauna face death.

The ungodly aspect of mercy that usually takes care of the lives of those on this earth and suppresses its power for them.

What on earth happened? Why are you acting like this…

Saaaah-

The power that Hades draws out is growing stronger. Little by little… more… more…

Could all the gods of the underworld combined produce a greater sense of aggression than the one he has now?

Puhihihing! Purruk-

As if reflecting his emotions, the ghost horses’ eyes glow with blue irises and hellfire bursts from their hooves.

The spectres, with their sharp teeth bared and their sneers on display, seemed to anticipate the coming hour of slaughter.

A creepy ghostly aura surrounds the previously ordinary tram, and the figure of a screaming corpse is carved into it.

The chariot had suddenly changed into a hideous appearance fit for the lord of the underworld.

She trembled in fear as she watched Hades gradually become covered in black shapes.

“Lord Hades? Is there something…”

“Gigas has attacked, so return to the underworld, Mente.”

Gigas.

A time when Hades and other gods of the underworld were so wary.

Monsters who, according to prophecy, could not triumph over the gods without human heroes.

Then, shouldn’t he, who has become a god, also fight to help Hades?

He’s going to face such dangerous enemies all by himself?

“Lord Hades… I, I can fight too…”

Thick hands gently sweeping the goddess’s long hair.

Black eyes like an abyss with no end in sight.

Unlike before, when he always avoided physical contact with her with an awkward and embarrassed look,

He smiled coldly and whispered quietly in Mente’s ear.

“This is an order. Goddess of Mint.”

Pluto, the god of mercy who always cared for the innocent dead and was indifferent to blasphemy, was nowhere to be seen.

The one before her eyes now is Hades, the king of the underworld whom everyone fears.

“Yes… I will summon other gods. Please be careful.”

Mente simply could not disobey those words.
