Even if the most innocent and fair judge was found, it would be difficult to decide whether it was more terrible to step on the tail of a cold poisonous snake or to anger a hungry lion. In the drawing of lots that determined the ruling domain of the three brothers, even if Hades, the eldest brother who won the hell, knew that the lot had been tampered with by his younger brother, he only silently accepted this arrangement. As the King of Gods hoped, he lived in seclusion and ignored everything in the Upper Realm.
This hidden balance was completely broken at this moment.
Once the silent Nether King was repeatedly touched, he would carry out his plan as fast as lightning, quietly catching all the culprits who had coveted him.
First, Ares, who was enchanted by lead arrows and cursed by the Goddess of Conspiracy, killed Aphrodite, who was defenseless against her loyal lover. Then, he sent the God of Death, Danadus, to secretly capture the lover left behind by the God King who had left in a hurry after hearing the sudden uproar in Olympus. He scraped away the remaining white liquid between her legs with the peacock tail feather symbolizing the Queen of Heaven and threw it on the exposed land. She was caught off guard and found herself pregnant for no reason.
Zeus had fallen for many schemes in a short period of time. Even though he was eloquent, he was still busy. On the one hand, the God of Love and Beauty had suddenly fallen. Her broken divinity had been taken away by the God of War, Ares, who had killed her for no reason. As a result, he and his ex-lover's beloved son, Eros, had become like fire and water. Not to mention, Hera, who was happy to see it happen, secretly helped and fanned the flames. On one hand, Gaia, the Goddess of Earth, who had suffered an unexpected disaster, was furious and attacked him. He really had no words to say, so he could only avoid it. However, she was already strong enough to fight against him, and her temper was getting more and more violent. In order to avenge the humiliation he had given her, she did not hesitate to cause the earth to crack and disasters to occur. On the one hand, the daughter of the new sommelier made many mistakes at the banquet, but she loved to speak wildly. She accidentally angered one of the three goddesses, Artemis, who had always been cold and lonely, causing her face to be ruined and crying to him all day long...
Compared to the days of the distraught Ruler of Gods, the Nether King who had planned all of this was much happier.
Stix, who was an eyesore and had caused a great disaster, was openly sent to the human world the next day to supervise the craftsmen borrowed from Hephaestus, the God of Sculpture, to build the new temple of the Underworld Empress. However, Styx was reluctant at first, but after he went, he did well. Not only did his inspiration shine, but he also worked hard to supervise the progress.
What satisfied him the most was that he thought that he would receive the raging flames of anger from Alies after his lie was exposed, but in fact, he was welcomed by a warm breeze. Although he still maintained a stern and dignified expression on the surface, his expression when dealing with official matters was gentle, which could be seen by all the gods of the Underworld. He was not as focused as before, and from time to time, he would glance at the throne that belonged to the Queen of the Underworld.
He had once abandoned Orpheus, who was good at writing flowery poems. Now, it was time to consider letting the talented poet see this scene with his own eyes, so that he could write a good article for the loving Hades couple.
" There have been a lot of souls that have entered Hell recently." Alies didn't realize that Pluto, who looked serious, was so distracted that he kept wandering around. He patiently used his Nether Power to help tidy up his trembling soul and asked curiously,""What happened in the outside world? Was it that the king who was not devout enough had offended the might of the gods and brought about severe punishment from war and plague, or was it that the King of Gods had fallen in love with some important goddess?”
Ever since Hermes suffered a great loss at the hands of Hades, he had slyly cheated Zeus of his promise and relieved himself of the responsibility of extraditing the dead souls. Because Olympus didn't have any gods who were willing to deal with the God of the Underworld who was not close to them, the vacancy of this priesthood was always tacitly left idle until it was taken away by Yama and placed on the head of Alies 'parents.
The unfortunate souls whimpered gratefully. Their tongues were no softer than their dead bodies. Their clothes were completely soaked by the black Acheron River, and their hair hung down. There were no relatives wearing black mourning clothes to attend the funeral, nor did they send black goats as sacrifices to the respected Yama. It was not because they did not respect the gods, but because their poor relatives had also suffered in this catastrophe and died in the scorched earth.
The ferryman, Charon, was unhappy that he couldn't get the money he wanted. He naturally ignored them, who had just arrived at the Land of Rest and were about to go to trial, and allowed them to wander around with miserable expressions. On the other hand, the compassionate Underworld Empress was moved by compassion and was willing to appease these helpless new citizens, which also indirectly reduced the burden on the other Underworld Gods.
Hades put down the document and turned to look."The last one."
Alies was just guessing based on his understanding of the Olympian gods. He didn't want to touch the truth, so he couldn't help but laugh in surprise."Could it be that he angered the one in charge of the fertility?”
"It's the more illustrious Mother Earth," Hades said concisely.”
Alies was shocked.""This is not the style of a Godking."
Although Zeus was romantic and passionate, he was very wise when choosing his lover. He would never involve a god that he could not control. For example, his incarnation of Aphrodite, who was extremely covetous of beauty, was always afraid that she was transformed from Uranus 'flesh and blood, so he did not really have sex with her. He coveted the beauty of his daughter, Artemis, who was in charge of the moon and hunting, but he gave up after she made a vow to the Styx River that she would never marry and remain chaste. Not to mention that he had repeatedly tried to rob her, and after discovering that his prey had already obtained the protection of his eldest brother, he had cunningly pretended that nothing had happened.
This time, he would rashly offend Mother Earth, who had never fought for anything. It was too strange.
Alies 'confusion didn't last long. As he learned more about Pluto's far-sighted nature, he immediately connected this abnormality with Pluto. "If I'm not wrong, you must have done something to it."”
"Indeed."
Hades had no intention of deliberately hiding it from him. Seeing that he had already realized it, he calmly explained the part he had participated in concisely.
Hearing this, Alies was amazed and praised the clever idea of Hades without hesitation. In the end, he said,"" I should add a stroke of resourcefulness to your glamorous and luxurious crown. If one day you can publicize your reputation of eliminating evil and protecting the weak, you will definitely be more worthy of praise than the goddess who likes to boast about her achievements and claims to be the embodiment of justice.”
Hades gladly accepted the praise given by his lover and even smiled faintly."You and I are one, and you have a share of the good reputation.”
The only thing he felt pity for were the innocent people involved. However, those who blindly listened and blindly believed often helped the wicked to do evil. They built temples for the abusers during their lifetime, offered sacrifices, and exchanged wealth for fawning over them. They wanted to carve evil as a model of virtue for future generations. Wouldn't that encourage despotism and indulge the sinners to do whatever they wanted? However, he regarded the fair judgment and peaceful residence after death as his natural right and did not feel the slightest gratitude.
Only with more offerings and devout faith could he be worthy of the diligent, never boastful, and broad-minded Hades.
Alies thought so as a matter of course.
The fully-feathered vulture was never afraid of being blown off course by the strong wind, the giant whale with thick scales and sharp teeth was not afraid of the roaring of the tide, and the king who sat on the throne and held great power alone disdained the hatred and reprimand of his weak and incompetent brothers. The revered heavenly gods tended to cherish their reputation and appearance, while the female immortals Lin Ze and the mountain gods who had little divine power knew their own limits. On the contrary, humans who had half of their divine blood flowing through them were the most lawless.
Brave people dared to climb steep mountains, but they often couldn't see the full picture of the danger, nor did they know that there was lava stirring below. As the friends of Heracles, who ascended to Mount Olympus after his death and married the noble goddess of youth, Heber, Thesius of Athens and Biritos of Rabite were the best examples of boldness. With the death of their respective wives, the last invisible reins that bound these two heroes, who were great in the eyes of the people, also broke.
If the past achievements were like firewood that burned the symbol of stability, then continuing to run amok was the best medicine to revive a dead tree. They first kidnapped the extraordinarily beautiful Helen, and Thesius won the draw. Then, he heard from the craftsmen who built the temple about the Underworld Empress's peerless beauty. He actually had the arrogant idea of breaking into the Underworld and snatching the beauty from the cold and majestic Underworld King to be the new Empress of the Rabita Kingdom.
If there was only one person who came up with such a bizarre plan, the balm and pine oil would eventually run out, and perhaps the calm breeze would have worn away this unrealistic fighting spirit. However, once these two crazy villains got together, no matter how frightening the consequences were, they were determined to challenge the authority of the Lord of Hell, who rarely walked the human world.
Just as they had made up their minds to travel a long way to Hell, full of ambition to break through the chaos, the Queen of the Underworld, who was constantly on their minds, was discussing with Hades about the great achievements of the recently popular Hercules." In that case," Alies said in disbelief,""You actually let him leave smoothly?”
It was something Danados had said when he was chatting with him. The Grim Reaper was obviously extremely humiliated by the fact that a guy with the stinking blood of Olympus had broken in and stolen the loyal Cerberus to show off, and then returned it generously.
With the assistance of the Nether Empress, the Nether King, who was extremely unfocused, finally finished his accumulated administrative work. He leaned against the long couch, his eyes never leaving the Underworld Empress in his arms. He slowly replied,"I was in Safo at that time, so I didn't know about it.”
Alies turned his head inquisitively and glanced at him a few times. He really didn't think that Pluto, who had always valued strict discipline and was smart enough to never suffer losses-even if he temporarily ate, he would make the other party pay a heavier price later-would be so nonchalant about such a provocative move."But you didn't pursue it after that.”
"Yes," Hades admitted readily. I'm in such a good mood."
"…"
Nether King Er Ha added slowly,""I accidentally forgot."
How could Alies not know that he was hinting at his own confession? He couldn't help but cough in embarrassment. Although he knew him better, he was still not good at such sudden jokes. He really didn't want to encourage him to hide his pride, so he wisely stopped asking about it."Your Majesty must be joking."
Hades exposed him coldly." When you're nervous or angry, you address me as 'Your Majesty.'”
Alies helplessly knocked the back of his hand on his waist and raised his eyebrows in warning."In that case, before I fly into a rage, Your Majesty should restrain yourself a little.”
The Nether King really couldn't take a loss. He had to ask for a few tender kisses to compensate for the loss he had suffered from the Nether Empress 'gentle knock. If the Underworld Empress was not enthusiastic and proactive when she gave him this compensation, he would have no choice but to personally take back the rights and interests that he deserved bit by bit on the bed.
The coldest ice was the easiest to give off white smoke, and the most famous judge was often the best at explaining his crimes. The Nether King always had sufficient reasons to make love with the Nether Empress. Even if Adonis was aware of the impending storm, a small protest would only make the valiant knight more excited, and useless words would be thrown to the back of his mind. He sent her dark dreams and dripping sweat.
Ever since the theft of Cyberus, Danadus, who had admitted his negligence, had his eyes wide open. The two castellans who had tried to sneak in were caught red-handed and brought to the main hall. Unfortunately, he was too pleased with himself and had to wait for a few days before he saw the Nether King couple again.
Death gradually became accustomed to the phenomenon of the two emperors disappearing for a few days from time to time. At this moment, he calmly reported the discovery of the two people's whereabouts.
Hades nodded slightly and praised,""Well done."
Danadus was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor and opened his mouth wide."I, I am willing to serve Your Majesty."
Theosius and Brithos had been pressed to the ground by a powerful divine force. Their limbs were crawling on the ground, unable to move at all. When the Nether King was about to ask them why they were here, some of the suppression was removed. Their breathing was finally not so difficult, and the pain in their chests eased a little.
Sitting casually on the throne inlaid with black gems, the Nether King said coldly,""Purpose."
Thesius, who had first proposed this idea to compensate for his failure in drawing lots, braced himself and said,"" Guardian of underground wealth, ruler of the hidden dead zone, god with infinite powers-"
This hero, who was considered famous in the human world, had brought his friends in with great ambition, but he had been easily caught. While he had suffered a blow, his feverish mind had also sobered up a lot. He was extremely clear that the true purpose of this trip could not be revealed. However, he did not have the slightest confidence to hide from that sharp and cold gaze that he did not dare to look at.
As Thesius spoke, he slowly raised his head and saw the face of the ruler of the Kingdom of the Dead. However, before he could think about what to say next, he was completely distracted by the legendary Netherworld King's lover sitting beside him.
Stars shone in the boundless night sky, but they could never compete with the silver moonlight. The sand grains that surrounded the blue sea water were golden and brilliant, but they could not compare to the golden seeds that were dug out by skillful hands. The jewels embedded in the king's solemn and luxurious robe were brilliant and resplendent, but they were never comparable to the glory and ancient inheritance symbolized by the crown.
Thesius knew that the blood of a warrior flowed in his body. It would boil when the throne was shaken, it would not die because it constantly conquered challenges, and it would not be afraid when it created legends. When he opened his eyes, he could only see a respectable god and a proud hero. He opened his arms, and only eternal friendship could enter his heart. He swung the hilt of his sword, and the only thing that could stop him from advancing was the shield raised by the enemy.
Beauties were nothing more than extravagant treasures wrapped in golden gauze, generous gifts from royalty, and delicate foreheads that only victors deserved to kiss. However, when time carved grooves on her flawless cheeks, it was the gilded stone that had been stripped of its outer clothes, the shining sword that had been stained with rust, the withered yellow petals that were ashamed to stand on the green branches, and the appearance that entered the decline naturally no longer matched the flourishing romantic.
Sigh! This was a prejudice that made him feel ashamed at this moment! Just like how a good fisherman only knew the depth of the lake, he never knew the vastness of the ocean. Those who were good at singing only knew the preferences of the nobles and never knew the thoughts of the gods. Those who are good at stealing only know that there may be jewelry in the box, but they never know how to find the treasure house of Jinshan. Those who had never tasted the fine wine made by Dionysus did not know that their horizons were narrow, and they thought that wheat tea and inferior wine were nectar.
There is a kind of beauty that is destined to last forever and remain the same for hundreds of generations, a beauty that time's hands cannot rob away, a grace that the poet cannot help but abuse to praise; It was a dazzling brilliance that made people infatuated, and the endless lines of poetry were also full of life and fragrance; It was the fragrance of the marrow that even roses envied, the charm that did not wither, and the invisible elegance that even memories could not retain.
Everyone knew that the Nether King was rich, but they didn't know that compared to the treasures he had hidden in the treasury, the treasures he really paid attention to were just a drop in the ocean. The dim decorations and the gloomy seclusion only made him more radiant, just like how the rope strung with precious jade stones, no matter how ordinary, did not damage its unique glory. He must be nature's proudest creation, its most thoughtful subject. The beautiful Helen in the eyes of the world was just a crudely made imitation. She was embellished and withered. Even the most beautiful woman in the world had to hide in shame when she saw him, afraid that she would become a public laughingstock. Even a blind man would not confuse a rough and ugly stone with a round and full pearl. The songs sung by poets always had the same tune. For example, the beautiful women painted by painters were often similar, but the beauty was too high to be reached. Even the most exquisite brush could not trace the shallowest projection. How could cheap paint make the magnificent sea waves vivid on the pale painting?
Thesius was obsessed with the beauty of his eyes and lips, and he used his mind to outline the outline of his hands and feet. He couldn't help but sigh deeply. Beautiful things were always taken away by brutal violence, just like fragrant buds that couldn't escape the corrosion of poisonous insects. He should have won more praises and praises, and received endless love and pursuit, but he had to accompany the gloomy king all day long. He was coerced by the violence supported by divine arts, and the fresh stamens were neighbors with the rotten souls of the dead. It was like a young man in his prime dying for no reason and buried in a lonely grave.
The faint smile on her beautiful cheeks must be the grace of elegance that deserves to be carefully poured and slowly drunk. With only a small poplar branch in her hair, she was more elegant than jade and gold, and her silent lips were more elegant than thousands of beautiful sentences. There was no need for any decorations, nor was it stained by the grease of her mouth. Her beautiful golden eyes that were as beautiful as gemstones flickered slightly. Her black robe draped on the ground safely, making her slightly exposed wrist as moist as ivory and as white as snow. It had a warm glow, and even the pure Wind Spirit couldn't help but bow and kiss it.
Even a sharp sword would have to overcome countless obstacles to pierce through the chest, but Shuli's incarnation could enter without any warning. However, although he was unattainable to her, he was a strong enemy in love. The cruel king dominated the quiet beauty, the desolate winter seized the gentle spring song, and the dark hidden hell dominated the smiling beauty.
It was only by abandoning the bitterness of looking at it and sighing and not being able to get it that the supreme master of this palace was able to make his passion soar, plant his soft roots in the cold stone heart, implant his beauty into the authoritative green eyes, and stand by his side with a completely different temperament. The firm love proved the mellow and harmonious music.
After waiting for a long time for the intruder's reply, the Nether King's eyes darkened when he saw the intruder's infatuated eyes coveting the Underworld Empress's beauty. He directly ordered the subordinate Divine Dao,""Since they are here, let them stay.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
How could Danadus not hear the hidden meaning? He bowed respectfully and gloated as he dragged away the city lord, who was already out of his mind before he died. Since he was tired of living, it was logical for him to stay forever as a dead person.
At first, Arias was just looking at the living human hero with curiosity. Unexpectedly, after waiting patiently for a while, not only did they not say what they were here for, but they also stared at him blankly. Recently, he had been asked for compensation many times by the self-proclaimed sensitive and fragile Nether King. He was no longer as slow and ignorant as before. He felt that something was wrong. Unfortunately, before he could stop it, the Nether King took action first.
"Your Majesty." Seeing that the situation was not good, Alies quickly stood up and took a few steps back, lest he used this excuse to pressure him again. However, the way he addressed him inadvertently revealed his nervousness again."I think you know very well that this is not my fault.”
"Yes." Hades responded casually, but he stood up without any explanation and took a few steps closer in an instant.
Alies 'shoulder was already pressed against the solid wall. His tall and burly body blocked the path ahead in the blink of an eye, and a large shadow completely enveloped him. The Plant God was still struggling,"…If you want to get back that debt, I'm willing to be a witness, but you shouldn't pin it on me."”
"Yeah."
He felt refreshed and relaxed, and the kiss was fiery and decisive. He personally examined it. Fortunately, he knew the principle of stopping while he was ahead and did not add insult to injury to the Underworld Empress's weakness. After the powerful attack that showed off his sharpness, he retreated politely and gently.
When Alies couldn't escape being kissed, he was already prepared to be torn apart and eaten. He didn't expect him to stop abruptly. While he was glad, he also felt that this rare restraint was somewhat unbelievable.
Hades observed carefully and pointed out sharply,""You are very surprised."
"I was just thinking about how to thank you," Alies quickly covered up.”
"You know that too." "I never liked to hear you thank me in words," Hades said with a hint.”
Alies did not know whether to laugh or cry as he complimented,""You won't lose anything if you're a little more lenient to me, who's at my wit's end. I'm already a defeated opponent, why do I have to chase after him?”
"Not necessarily."
Arias thought for a moment and took his hand in a fawning manner.
Hades was still staring at him without blinking."This alone is far from enough."
"You're going back to your old greedy face."”
Hades said seriously," If you don't make it clear and agree to the conditions properly, the tyrant of Hell will swear in the name of our son Styx that he won't let you leave this place easily.”
Alies raised his eyebrows." Alright, then please come up with a calm judgment and look at the problem I'm facing. First of all, you want to have a good reputation for advancing and retreating. Then, you blame me for restricting you and causing you to lose a lot of wealth. Are these two cunning methods that benefit you really worth me giving you any compensation?”
Hades said sincerely," Even if I use all the treasures in the sky to exchange for it, I can't hand over the only beautiful jade. However, because I have to do things according to your expression, I have no choice but to temporarily give up this precious power that belongs to me."”
"I don't know when I gained such authority that I can command the master of the Underworld as I please."”
"I've always been loyal to you," Hades said in a deep voice.”
Alies pursed his lips and tried to suppress his smile, but he couldn't do anything about it. He decided not to hide it anymore. He stood on his tiptoes slightly and put one hand around his firm and slender neck. With a little force, the Nether King, who knew the meaning of the strings, leaned down and exchanged the sweetest and longest kiss with his warm lips and tongue.
After the kiss, Hades concluded in a hoarse voice,""You are very happy."
"Of course I'm happy," Alies did not deny it.”
"Are you satisfied with my sweet words just now?"”
Alies was amused by his serious tone of asking for advice. He looked back at him with a smile and said frankly,"Alright, since you insist on asking, I won't deny it vaguely. I am glad, indeed, that you are handsome, powerful, virtuous, famous, and witty; He was also happy that he had good taste and good looks. He had a good marriage and children. She was also happy that this love was not disturbed by suspicion. Not only was it protected by trust, but loyalty and passion were also integrated into one.”
Hades stared at him without blinking, and the corners of his lips gradually curled up.
"You are far more perfect than I imagined.”
After receiving the most beloved treasure, the white poplar wooden box was carefully hidden in the warm and safe heart, and the heavy loyalty of marriage was tied, and they slowly reconciled.
