King of Underworld - Chapter 82

The Story of Bellerophon – (5)

While the hero’s task was in progress, Gaia intervened with the Chimera, destroying the temple of Athena and killing Bellerophon…

Although Bellerophon could not change the fate of the Chimera,

To use the method of choosing the path to destiny as I advised Perseus.

“Did you just see that, Goddess Lethe?”

“Yes… Gaia has the power of prophecy comparable to Prometheus.”

“Even if we create a hero and win the war against Gigas, it might be a victory that leaves only scars.”

Even though they won the war against Gigas, the Titans were released and they were defeated by Gaia.

Or Gaia could create other monsters to follow Gigas.

I guess I need to prepare more…

Gaia is one of the primordial gods, the Protogenoi.

The only ones who can compare to the ancient gods, the Protogenoi, are other Protogenoi.

Under the first omnipotent Chaos, there are not many Protogeni, including Gaia.

Erebos, the god of darkness, Nyx, the god of the night, or Tartarus, the god of the abyss.

Tartarus, who is hell itself, does not interfere with anything…

Lord Erebos and Lady Nyx… hmm. They are all people who have stopped caring about the world.

While I was deep in thought, the goddess Lethe next to me spoke to me.

“Hades.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Bellerophon will soon arrive in the underworld… Will you reward him for his task?”

It’s been some time since Thanatos’ clone turned towards him…

It was time for Bellerophon, who had died with the Chimera, to arrive in the underworld.

Although he is not worthy of being sent to Elysium for the fault of killing his brother…

Those who accomplish a task should be duly rewarded.

He called the messenger for a moment.

“If the hero who killed the Chimera comes to the afterlife, bring him to me.”

“Yes, Hades.”

* * *

After waiting for a moment in the audience room with the goddess Lethe, the hero soon arrived.

Bellerophon, who had regained his memories of this world thanks to the power of the goddess Mnemosyne, still had a frown on his face, as if he was experiencing hallucinations.

He looked at me while kneeling, and he seemed to be regretting something.

He also showed a bitter expression, as if he realized that he was dead.

“Uh… why did the Lord of the Underworld come looking for me?”

“You have accomplished the feat of killing the children of Typhon in human form, but you have not received a proper reward in this world.”

“…?!”

“Is there anything else you wish for? I promise to treat you and reward you appropriately for your accomplishments.”

Who would want to be a hero if there was no reward for the hero who sacrificed his life to kill a monster?

If you don’t need proper compensation, at least let your reputation be known widely…

But the words that came out of his mouth exceeded my expectations.

“Well… then, I want to become a god like Pluto!”

“hmm?”

“Ascend to Olympus above the clouds and become a god there, enjoying eternal life…”

Bellerophon raises his head and speaks passionately with sparkling eyes.

No, God seems a bit excessive…

Especially if you don’t want to be a lower god in the underworld, but rather go up to Olympus?

Not only is that something I cannot do anything about, but I also need the consent of Zeus and other gods.

Hmm. Still, he is a hero who sacrificed his life to kill Chimera, so this level of rudeness is acceptable.

Let’s try to persuade her slowly for now.

I waved my hand to cut him off and explained calmly.

“…You have too many fantasies about God.”

“yes?”

“What kind of god do you think he is? Why do you want to become a god?”

After thinking for a moment, he answered…

“Aren’t you the ones who are truly immortal, the ones who are truly perfect? ​​I have always longed to become a god!”

“Perfect…?”

“I killed that powerful monster, so please give me a chance to become a god!”

It’s not like there aren’t any cases of mortals becoming gods.

In the case of Medusa, she suffered so much damage from the gods that she became a god…

Dionysus brought wine to the world, gathered faith, and eventually won the position of god.

But even Cadmus and Perseus, who accomplished great feats, were not made gods, so it would be a bit…

Even he did not gather faith in this world, and he desired the position of a god in Olympus, not in the underworld.

Although it was a mistake, he was also flawed because he killed his own brother.

Still, considering the feat of risking one’s life to kill the Chimera…

“First, you need to know what God is and what he does.”

“What are you saying…?”

“Experience the work of a lower god in the afterlife for 100 days. If you still don’t change your mind, I’ll tell Olympus.”

“…! Thank you! Pluto!”

Bellerophon bows his head to the floor and repeatedly expresses his gratitude.

But isn’t it too early to thank me?

“thank you!”

“well…”

The daily lives of our gods are probably quite different from what you think…

After a while, Bellerophon walked away, laughing, and I looked at the goddess Lethe next to me.

The goddess Lethe looks at me with sparkling eyes as if she is thinking the same thing.

“Hades…! Can’t we place that human in the River of Oblivion? I don’t want the dead souls these days to lose their memories…”

“First, I plan to send it to Eros, who is in charge of torturing criminals. Then…”

“ah…”

The eyes of the goddess Lethe slowly lowered when she heard that she would not be assigned to her assigned area.

I looked at the dead goddess for a moment…

Swish

He swept her soft hair.

Beautiful strands of silver hair, seemingly perfect, slip through my hands.

“…Hyat! Ha. Ha.. Hades?!”

“I know you’ve helped me a lot so far.”

I’m really surprised. When do you usually approach me like that…

Is this the first time you’ve reached out to me?

The goddess Lethe, who was extremely flustered, was startled and tried to pull away, so I gently grabbed her wrist.

“Please work a little harder. Someday, for sure…”

“Okay… Okay… Okay, I get it. So… Give me your hand…”

“ah.”

As I let go of his hand, the silver goddess ran out of the audience room door.

Her red nape, which covers her face as she runs, is particularly visible.

bean.

“Ouch! Ugh…”

He was leaving in such a hurry that he even banged his head against the door.

Of course, the door to the audience room that hit the god’s forehead is scratched… Oh, and the part where the goddess Styx hit her foot last time also needs to be repaired.

* * *

The goddess Lethe quickly left the audience room and moved hurriedly, heading somewhere.

The place she is headed to is an office in the afterlife.

“Sticks! Stix! Stix!”

“What… what is it?! Lete!”

“Goddess Lethe…?”

There were the goddess Styx and Mente, who were working on a pile of parchments.

They were startled when they saw the goddess Lethe running towards them with a blush on her face.

But the goddess of forgetfulness, who doesn’t care and questions the goddess Styx.

“For the past few days, whenever I see Hades, you’ve been acting strange. What did you two do then?”

“But… why today all of a sudden…?”

“I’m telling you, today is the first time Hades has ever patted my head with such a gentle hand! Just tell me! Even I get this much, so what did you do last time…”

Yes, just a little while ago, riding Pegasus…

The other gods could not have ignored the changed appearance of the Goddess Styx, who had kissed Hades.

But the master of the underworld that Lete had known until now was,

A male god who is not particularly reluctant to be approached by goddesses, but who takes a step back when they get close.

Because he acted as if… there was an impassable wall built in his heart,

I thought it was because the Goddess Styx was the only one who clung to her again and was embarrassed…

“Last time… how far did you go out by yourself?”

“What… How far are you going?”

If Hades showed a different appearance today, it would be a different story.

You didn’t have any deep relationship with the goddess Styx, did you?

It was the Styx goddess who shook her head from side to side… but it seemed like she remembered something that happened a few days ago,

I couldn’t stop the tips of my ears from gradually turning red.

“Come to think of it, Hades has been acting strange for the past few days. His gaze, how should I put it… seems to have become kinder?”

“Well… I did feel like the wall in my heart had collapsed a little bit.”

Mente, who felt something strange, added a word.

Perhaps, if Persephone had been here, it would have been a change that would have made her run to Hades immediately…

She had already ascended to this world a long time ago.

“Perhaps Eros shot an arrow…”

“Is the god Eros still working in the underworld?”

* * *

Meanwhile, Bellerophon, who wanted to become a god, arrived somewhere with the guidance of his servant.

This place is where a hotter heat than the flames of the Chimera I fought in this world seems to surge…?

“Eww!!! Stop it…”

“Kwak! Kwak!”

“Save me! No, please forgive me!”

There were countless criminals suffering there, who were not worthy of going to Tartarus, but whose crimes could not be paid for with proper punishment.

The dead are rolling around on the floor in pain, unable to escape from the fire that is all around them.

“You can just take the arrows from here to Eros over there.”

“ah…”

Swish- Phew!

“Kwaaak!”

Even a god who appears as a winged child keeps shooting arrows from above.

The god over there was Eros, but…

“Hey, you human! If you’re here, bring me more arrows quickly!”

“Ah.. yes yes!”

Why is the god of love working in the afterlife?

Even though you’re moving so busily, you don’t rest at all…?!
