King of Underworld - Chapter 93



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

The Goddess of Mint and Thebes – (3)

“The master of the underworld, who should be more fair than anyone else, is actually a clumsy god who often wavers like this. Has your illusion about me been shattered a little, Mente?”

“No, no… Not at all. The Hades I know…”

Mente stammered, trying to deny Hades’ words.

The Hades she had seen was… a true god among gods.

A caring god who, unlike other Olympian gods, cares for mortals and makes fair judgments.

He was like the father of all souls, who would reach death when all mortals died.

But now that he knew Hades’s heart that was revealing its true feelings to him, something naturally flowed out of his eyes.

Even the stalwart and iron-blooded monarch of the underworld has these concerns.

How hard you must have tried to keep this secret from anyone until now.

Just imagining it made Mente’s heart feel like it was going to burst.

He touches Mente’s tear-filled face and wipes away the sadness flowing down her face.

Hades, who was smiling gently, reached out his hand and placed it on the back of her neck.

‘Oh… Wait a minute… This is… A kiss?’

Mente is a virgin goddess with no experience with men.

When she was a nymph, she had no interest in men, and after she became a priestess of Hades, no one touched her.

After becoming a lower-level god of the underworld… she was secretly treated as Hades’ concubine.

As I was experiencing something that I had only known through knowledge, my heart started pounding faster and faster.

The master of the underworld she revered opened his mouth.

“You are the one who catches me every once in a while.”

“Should I… go?”

“Yes, every time I think of you and remember the smell of mint… it makes me reflect on my actions.”

Ah, what a kind person he is.

Such sweet words, even the whispers of the god Apollo could not sound sweeter than these.

“And I’m always grateful to you for making mint, and I feel like I owe you a favor.”

“And…? Also…”

“…I think I feel the same way as you.”

Heart pounding.

Same mind. This is…

Hades’ hand on the back of her neck slowly gained strength.

As if entranced by the siren’s song, Mente’s body draws closer to him.

A handsome face, like a sculpture created by Pygmalion, slowly approaches…

Eventually their lips met.

“Haha…”

A brief kiss, almost like a dream.

* * *

After the short kiss, I looked at Mente’s face, who was blankly staring at me, unable to come to his senses.

The goddess of mint with a dreamy expression, as if she were dreaming while standing still.

“Heh… heh heh…”

“Mente? Are you okay…”

“Just one more time… Just one more time, Hades!”

side.

“Ugh. No, wait…”

“Just a little more…!”

I pushed her away for a moment as she ran towards me excitedly and touched my lips.

An old man with a cane clicks his tongue and passes by, looking at us like that.

“Ugh… Impure love being shown recklessly on the street… Tsk. Get out of the way.”

I just kissed Mente and the cognitive impairment was lifted…

Judging by the way he talks about impure love, is that old man a philosopher?

Wait a minute, so homosexuality, which is pure love, can be practiced on the street?

Ha… If only some divine punishment would come upon Thebes…

“…Why did this culture spread?”

Ahem… no.

Even now, the scent of my past life coming from Mente, who is still next to me, calms me down.

When I return to the afterlife, I must make a prophecy and have them stop…

Since then, I’ve been spending time traveling around here and there with Mente.

They feed each other freshly made skewers from street vendors, or put mint leaves in each other’s hair…

It was a truly enjoyable time. Every time I saw Mente’s smile, I felt the fatigue from the afterlife melt away.

So, after wandering around every corner of Thebes until evening, the first thing I did when I returned to the underworld was…

“…Are you the high priest of my temple now?”

“Oh my… Lord Hades! Why have you come looking for me?”

It was an effort to change the strange culture that had spread throughout Thebes.

Then he contacted Orpheus and told him to convey his wishes to the king who ruled Thebes.

He also asked other gods for help and asked them to send oracles to the living world.

“So, what if you’re homosexual? Then wouldn’t the number of new humans being born decrease?”

“It may be because Zeus brought that human boy… Ganymede, I think? Anyway, that bastard.”

“…If Hades says so, I will tell my followers as well.”

So I fell into a brief sleep with a relaxed mind.

Sleep was not essential for an immortal god, but it was a good pastime for calming the mind.

But while the god of the underworld was sleeping, chaos broke out in Thebes in this world.

Because all the gods of the underworld, including Pluto, the god of Thebes, sent oracles.

“Lord Hades… has expressed great concern about ‘true love between men’…!”

“…Why?”

“Surely Zeus also encourages true love?”

“The Lord of the Underworld sees that the thoughts are different, so the gods also have different opinions…”

“It’s clear that we misunderstood something…!”

First of all, most of the people of Thebes were believers in Pluto.

The story told by the high priest of Pluto’s temple spread throughout Thebes in an instant.

“If I don’t follow the trust, what harm will I suffer when I die?”

“No… but still, he is a god of mercy, so how…”

“Have you forgotten what Pluto’s other name is? Hades, the king of the underworld… ahem.”

“Not all homosexuals will go to Tartarus, right?”

The pride of Thebes, the Sacred Troops, was disbanded that very day.

Because the king, who had received the oracle of the god Morpheus in his dream last night, was foaming at the mouth and running wild.

The king, who had summoned his subjects, wondered what kind of oracle he had received in his dream…

“Disband the Holy Army immediately! The law prohibiting same-sex love is also in the name of the Crown…”

“Your Majesty! It is… the philosophers…”

“Put all those philosophers in prison! The crime is that they spread nonsense in Thebes and angered Pluto!”

Fortunately, no philosophers were arrested due to the persuasion of their subjects, but their position was greatly diminished.

For no mortal wished to incur the wrath of the three gods, the god of Thebes and the king of the underworld.

Even Hades, and all the gods who had received his request, sent oracles, making it even more so.

“The goddess Lethe, the goddess Styx, the god Hypnos, and all the other gods gave oracles to the believers…”

“Wasn’t it because the Sphinx came to Thebes a long time ago that it incurred the wrath of the gods?”

“So, because of the Holy Army… a monster like the Sphinx will appear in Thebes again?”

“If you’re a monster, then you know what kind of punishment you’ll receive after you die!”

“It was a mistake to try to interpret the will of God according to human will. The story of Zeus and Ganymede is just one example…”

“I didn’t really like that holy unit in the first place.”

“Whew… I guess I’ll have to keep things tight around the house. I can’t go against the will of the god Pluto.”

Thebes underwent a great change overnight.

* * *

After finishing my date with Mente, I took a nap to relieve the fatigue that had built up and looked at the situation in this world.

I’m concentrating on whether the humans have interpreted the oracle given to Thebes yesterday correctly…

“You fucking philosopher bastards! Are you going to take responsibility if I die without peace because of you?”

“What? Love between men is true love? You’re talking nonsense…”

“Those who created the Holy Army by instilling strange ideas in His Majesty are walking around with their heads held high…”

Boom! Bam!

“Is it because Pluto rules over the underworld that he says this is not true love?”

“I think you are worried that humans will not be able to have descendants, because of your godhood of mercy…”

“Maybe it’s because I was hit by Eros’ arrow and fell in love with the goddess Persephone?”

“What?! You… are a faction that supports the goddess Persephone as the mistress of the underworld?! How dare you leave Styx, the goddess of oaths, alone!”

“Ha! How much has the goddess of oblivion done for us Thebans…”

There were those who sat around in an empty lot, swearing at philosophers who supported homosexuality, and those who speculated about my intentions as the god of the underworld…

There was also a mob assault on a philosopher who was one of the most ardent supporters of true love between men.

Actually, I don’t really want to know whether the philosopher was homosexual or not…

Even the soldiers from the royal family just watched the assault.

No action was taken.

Listening to the soldiers’ stories…

“We do not interfere. We may be punished for helping those who have incurred Pluto’s wrath.”

“But, Captain, I believe that the God of Mercy would not do so. He who cares for mortals more than anyone else…”

“What fool! This is the first time that Pluto has given an oracle about our Theban culture!”

“still…”

“He who does not interfere in the affairs of men is angry, so those people will not be at peace even after they die.”

Hmm, it’s another story about the god of the underworld.

The divinity of mercy was also widely known, but it was also because of the oracles that directly interfered with culture.

This trust could be considered a minor blunder.

Knowing that there are many people who distort the will of God, how can you make such a mistake?

It seemed like I was forcing my personal likes and dislikes too much.

I need to convey my intentions properly again through the high priest…

After a while, a new oracle came down to Thebes.

The people of Thebes reacted quickly to the news they heard from the temple of Pluto.

“A new oracle from Pluto! Pluto personally does not approve of love between men, but he says that it is clearly a sin to assault or banish them for that reason alone!”

“That’s right. I told you not to do that….”

“That’s what I told you. Pluto is also a god of mercy, so be careful in your actions…”

“But let’s be careful, he doesn’t like that type of love.”

“Of course, isn’t the god of Thebes Pluto?”

Those who heard the oracle were initially relieved.

Because Pluto, who was called the god of mercy, did not seem to be very angry.

After that, Thebes had a custom of being somewhat reluctant towards homosexuals,

A culture emerged that viewed those who fell in that kind of love as poor creatures who had fallen for the pranks of the god Eros.
