Greek Mythology: Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 4 004, The terrifying power of the underworld
The entire holy mountain of Otis was trembling under the wrath of Cronus, the Titan King.

Many different series of divine guards looked at the ancient temple located on the top of the mountain, and their bodies trembled with fear like the constantly shaking holy mountain.

"Fa...what happened?"

"What made His Majesty the God King angry?"

They didn't even know what happened. First, boundless darkness enveloped the place, followed by Cronus' monstrous rage.

The terrifying Titan power descended from the sky.

It made the gods on the holy mountain feel fear and tremble from the depths of their souls.

"Gods listen, my Titan God King Cronus hereby issues a divine decree, ordering the gods to immediately stop all activities, end all slumbers, and kill the defector Hades with all his strength!"

Cronus' angry voice echoed from the temple and spread throughout the world.

The pressure of the God King spread all over the place for a while, so that every god received the God King's order and felt the God King's anger!
At this point, the gods on the holy mountain learned the reason for Cronus's anger. It turned out that Hades had escaped!
At the same time, the oracle was also conveyed to the ears of Cronus's three daughters.

The cold and noble Hera remained silent and reticent, but her beautiful eyes were staring straight into the boundless darkness ahead, where Hades left.

"Hades, my dear brother, I didn't expect that you actually managed to escape from the eyes of Father God. My second sister is so proud of you!"

A kind and gentle smile appeared on Demeter's gentle and beautiful face.

But not everyone can escape from the eyes of the Titan King, let alone Hades, who has been sealed since birth. He has done something that no other god has done, this is an impossible thing.

Demeter was surprised and delighted.

The same is true for Hestia. As the eldest sister but she looks like a lolita, her mind is beating actively. She is surprised and confused, and she expresses her previous question: "I don't understand why Hades is willing to risk even if Risking your life to be born regardless of everything?"

Hearing this, Demeter smiled, touched Hestia's head, and said softly: "Because he is Hades, the future Pluto, our younger brother, and he has the pride of Pluto. Pride keeps him from staying here.”

In this regard, Hera did not speak, but she seemed to agree with what Demeter said.

Hestia nodded in understanding, then raised her head, pursed her lips and said, "Demeter, can you stop touching my head? Please maintain due respect for me. I am the eldest sister!"

"Okay, my dear sister."

Demeter retracted her hand, covered her mouth and smiled.

After making the oracle, Cronus calmed down and sat back on the throne. He was silent for a long time before a smile appeared on his face.

"Hades is worthy of being the eldest son of my king. He is courageous and wise..."

He now understood that the reasons why Hades summoned "darkness" before were, firstly, to adapt to the divine power, secondly, to make him relax his vigilance, and thirdly, to anger him.

From beginning to end, Hades never thought of confronting him.

Although Hades escaped, he could not do such a thing by himself.

Cronus suddenly snorted coldly: "Three sensible children..."

Just as he was about to calm down his anger, he found that Hestia, Demeter, and Hera in his belly had fallen into a deep sleep of their own accord.

……

At the same time, on the other side, there was a dense mountain forest. Hades was leaning against an ancient tree with his eyes closed to recuperate. Although the Demon Star was born to him, he has not yet obtained the authority of Pluto.

At the time of birth, Pluto's authority was stripped away by Cronus and sealed in the underworld, as was the authority of the King of Heaven and the Emperor of the Sea.

Therefore, even though the magic star was born to him, he had just been born and did not have the matching divine power to drive the magic star.

As Cronus said, if the power of the Demon Star is forcibly invoked, Hades will definitely suffer its backlash, because the Demon Star is closely related to the underworld and belongs to the same source. The power of the underworld represents destruction, death, erosion, curse, decay... …

Not everyone can control such power. If you want to use such power, you must pay a corresponding price.

Fortunately, Hades had some of the authority of his three sisters, Hestia, Demeter, and Hera, and received their blessings to offset the backlash of forcibly borrowing the power of the Demon Star.

However, Hades knew that this was not a long-term solution after all, and it would not work if it continued like this. Before, he had only borrowed the power of the Demon Star for a short moment in the Titan Temple, and it almost caused him to have the authority of three goddesses backfired.

The power of the underworld is so terrifying and weird. It can be seen from here that if there is no authority from the underworld and it is borrowed by force, it will eventually cause irreversible backlash.

"We must get back our authority..."

Hades recovered most of his divine power and slowly opened a pair of calm and indifferent eyes. There was not much time left for him.

Cronus's divine metaphor also fell on his ears just now.

Soon, all gods will be hunting here.

Hades stood up and was about to leave, but found that the calm space in front of him suddenly flashed with a dazzling white light, and then, an elegant and luxurious woman wearing a white dress appeared in front of him.

The figure is tall and slender, with graceful curves. A pair of slender jade legs are faintly exposed. They are straight and slender yet plump, which makes people intimidating. The skin of the long legs is smooth and delicate with a faint white halo.

There is a piece of white cloth in front of the eyes, which is sacred and inviolable, giving people an unknown and mysterious feeling. People can't help but want to take off the white cloth and see its true appearance.

When Hades saw the visitor, he subconsciously became vigilant: "Themis, what are you doing here?"

That's right, the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him was Themis, one of the 12 Titans, the goddess in charge of law and justice.

The sister of Cronus, the current Titan King, and according to later records, the second wife and aunt of Zeus in the future, and of course also his aunt.

The white cloth covering her eyes represents her impartiality. No matter who is in front of her, she will treat them equally when judging the case and will not favor others because of their identity.

Although according to the trajectory of fate, Themis will meet Zeus in the future, and then stand on the side of the Olympus god system and resist the rule of Cronus, but now her fate has changed.

Hades couldn't be sure whether Themis was an enemy or a friend. What's more, the other party came here just after the God King Cronus issued the order to hunt him down. This was too coincidental. He had to Not alert.

Hades was wary of Themis while thinking about countermeasures. The other party was the goddess in charge of justice and law, but to maintain justice, fairness alone was not enough. Sometimes the execution of justice required coercion, that is, strength.

Maintain justice with absolutely terrifying strength.

Themis is a very powerful Titan God. Even though she is not as powerful as Cronus, she is still a Titan God whose priesthood is offensive. Hades, who is not a middle god, can fight against her.

Hades was born as the [Medium God]. If Pluto's authority is still there, then he will be the [Main God] when he is born.

Countless gods could not reach the divine position in their lifetime of cultivation, which was something they could only hope for, but as Pluto, he had reached the divine position that countless gods envied and longed for as soon as he was born.

ps: God’s position and representative realm, from bottom to top are: [Ordinary God], [Lower God], [Middle God], [Upper God], [Main God Ninth Level], [Titan God], [Original God]
