Chapter 87 The Family Meeting of the God of Darkness

Lifting the streamer lamp, opened a crack leading to the depths of chaos.

Hephaestus couldn't help but look back at the present world, taking in the mountains, rivers, vegetation, and great rivers in the present world.

He has sympathy.

How ridiculous that gods who give mortals choices should be forced to make their own choices.

But if there is no choice, who is willing to take risks?Who wants to die on the road to the roots?
Yes, the path to Root is the most mysterious and powerful.

But it is precisely because it is so mysterious and powerful that it becomes more and more difficult to move forward.

The three known gods who have progressed on the root path are all so different that there is no reason or law to follow.

The background of the god Uranus, the mystery of the previous god-king Cronus, the creation of the foolish Epimetheus, three people, three different answers.

And their answers only apply to themselves.

Hephaestus wants to continue on the root path, and still has to open up the fourth unknown path and give his own unique answer.

Perhaps belief, secrecy, wandering, they are all very good ways forward.But when the end comes, they are just illusory dreams that are not qualified to fight.

Only the root cause is qualified, capable, and possible to face the end, and even defeat the end.

And Hephaestus knew that this battle was inevitable, he had already made up his mind and made a choice.

He couldn't help sighing.

I don't know when, my departure became a signal.As soon as he leaves, all kinds of monsters and monsters will jump out.

But he had to leave again, and went to Chaos to find more possibilities.

This world, which is undercurrents because of beliefs and outsiders, seems to have become an unsolvable knot, trying to bind him here firmly.

Hephaestus snorted coldly in his heart, and there was a merciless coldness in his eyes: "It can't be like this forever..."

He lifted the streamer light and slowly stepped into the chaos.

……

As Hephaestus expected, his departure became a signal.

From the moment his aura disappeared, there was a large gap in the original balance of power and strength.The gods are swimming and surging, hoping to move their position a little higher in the new hidden balance during this special period.

The scramble for belief among the gods walking in the mortal world suddenly became fierce and bold.

For their beliefs, they coerce, coerce, coerce, order, and do everything they can.

Although, an ancient god of fire once gave the power of choice to mortals.

But, he's not here now, is he?

Perhaps when he returns, a half-new, half-old, restrained situation will naturally appear, but now, it is the time of gluttony.

And in the Underworld, Charon, the ferry god, deviates from his duty for the first time.

He went upstream, and with the acquiescence of Hades, the master of the underworld, came to an unknown place in the underworld, and met the monarch of the dead country.

Hades asked him, "What's the matter, Charon."

Charon's tone was as respectful as before, but his waist was unexpectedly straight: "Your Majesty, I am leaving the underworld. My Father God is calling me and wants me to return to his embrace."

"I am willing to give back all the souls I have obtained in the underworld over the years, together with my condensed river of resentment, to repay Your Majesty's kindness."

In the absolute center of the unknown, Hades changed his relaxed appearance.His body tensed up in an instant, and on the fuzzy face covered and covered by the long lifeless energy, two stars rose and went out in an instant.

His tone was gentle, as if he was dealing with a subordinate belonging to the underworld: "Oh, it's His Majesty Erebus."

"Then you should go back, he should have something important to tell you."

He was silent for a moment, then quickly said: "There is no question of thanks or non-thank you between us, what you get is yours."

"You remember, there will always be your place in the underworld, and you can come back at any time."

Charon saluted and replied calmly: "Charon thanked the Lord for the gift."

"If the master allows, I want to keep the Resentment River in the underworld."

"In this way, the master can easily arrange new boatmen, so that the order of the underworld will not be disrupted just because of me."

Hades' tone became more gentle, with a rare touch of sincerity and friendship mixed in.

He nodded to show his affirmation to Charon: "You go, Erebus's call is important."

"Your request, I agree..."

……

Charon, who left the underworld, followed the guidance of the underworld, stumbled into chaos, and crashed into a vast darkness.

Back here, he feels as natural as coming home.

The nimble figure is like a fish swimming, floating up and down in the darkness for a while, before walking into a quaint temple.

There is no light in the temple, only absolute deep and quiet darkness.

But Charon could see.He is from here.

On both sides of the temple, his brother Aether, the god of space, and his sister, Hemera, the goddess of the day, had been waiting for a long time.

And his father, Erebus, the god of darkness, turned his back on them, wondering what he was thinking.

With just one glance, Charon already understood, even a little secretly pleased.

His brothers and sisters are not too small. Over the years, his mother, Goddess of the Night, Nix, would give birth to some by herself from time to time.Those are the new gods.

But only the two in front of him are the "relatives" who come from the same origin and the same vein as him.

They are the offspring of Erebus, the God of Darkness, and Nyx, the Goddess of Night, and they are the only children of Erebus, the God of Darkness.

Among them, I am the least capable of the three.And the two elder brothers and sisters are powerful gods standing on the pinnacle of gods.

His elder brother, Aether, the god of space, represented the boundary between the world of the gods and the mortal world.According to his father, the God of Darkness, Erebus, it is an obscure and hard-to-find "substance", an "element" that fills every empty space, has no form but does exist.

So Ethel was born extraordinary.

As for the elder sister, Hemera, the goddess of the day, she symbolizes the day and is the opposite of the night.Just as the earth goddess Gaia conceived her opposite, the sky god Uranus, the father and mother conceived the sister, and it seemed that something was required.

It's just that Goddess Gaia lost control of Uranus, and her mother seemed to... give up?

Make no mistake, this is a family meeting.A family meeting that excludes those who have no father god.

Such a meeting is really good.

Thinking he saw the situation clearly, Charon wisely walked over to his elder brother Aether and stood there, waiting for his father Erebus to order.

Opposite him, sister Hemera glanced up at him, then continued to look down at her toes.

It was very quiet inside the temple.No one greeted, nor did the person expected to preside over the meeting speak.

Charon suddenly woke up - anyone else?who is it?
