31. Chapter XXXI
But sometimes it is not a simple matter to be careful everywhere, to really guard against the surrounding situation and ensure that you are not calculated at all times.
Even when Savis and Hades didn't notice, in the blink of an eye, their surroundings went dark.
Even forces like Hades and Savis can't see through this darkness. So Savis stopped and looked around: "Hades...... Huh?" had to stop just at the beginning, Savis couldn't see the environment around him now, but the touch on his hand was still his, and he moved his fingers to make sure that the hand they were holding tightly didn't know when to let go, and Hades, who was supposed to be beside him, was gone.
Or rather, there is an unknown force that keeps them at bay.
There was darkness in front of you, and no matter what you could do, you couldn't see through the deep black, and it was a fool's thing to keep going in such a situation.
Savis sat down slowly, not panicking in the darkness.
Is it the underworld obstructing outsiders, or is someone doing something to them?
I don't know what happened to Hades. Savis tried to contact Hades, but unfortunately he couldn't, and he was surprised to find that the crying that he could faintly hear before was gone, and the whole underworld seemed to be completely silent with the "darkness", and the wind that was still slowly blowing before was gone, and there seemed to be only "darkness" around himβenough darkness to suffocate people.
Savis lay down slowly, and since he couldn't see anything when he opened his eyes, he simply closed his eyes and used his ears to pay attention to his surroundings.
Maybe no one else can adapt to such an environment, but for Savis, who often locks himself in a shell, such an environment is a little more dangerous, but there is really nothing to panic about.
At the moment, what he needs to focus on is that someone is deliberately separating him from Hades or the underworld itself subconsciously rejects them.
Is there any way to drive away the darkness in front of him? Savis thought slowly, and then tried to use his own power, without the power from the sea, the source of the power in his body now is the "blessing" that Ouranos put on himself again, the god of the sky of Ouranos, the sky is divided into day and night, if there is darkness enveloping him right now, then he should be able to try to "illuminate" it.
And it turned out that he had succeeded, a soft light emanated from the palm of his hand, slowly squeezing away the stagnant black mist, and it seemed that there was still something gray around him blocking his vision, but he could already see his surroundings clearly.
It seemed to be the underworld, but it was very different from the underworld he had just seen, it was clear that he and Hades had gone a long way, and when this darkness suddenly appeared, he stopped and did not continue to walk, but I don't know when he was standing next to the River Styx again.
But if you look closely, this river is very different from the Styx that the "ferryman" carried them through just now, the water of the Styx is actually relatively clear, because he can clearly see the situation at the bottom of the river on the boat, but because of the special situation of the underworld, the river that is obviously very "clear" becomes black when it looks from the side, and the river in front of him reflects a red luster from the riverbed, and this magnificent red merges with the surrounding black and becomes dark red.
Compared to the River Styx, it looks like the water has congealed into gelatin, and it flows very slowly.
There were some plants growing on this strange river, and even some flowers bloomed, but unfortunately under the influence of "black", Savis couldn't see what the original color of these plants was, so he couldn't recognize what those plants were.
This place in the underworld has always been a place to accommodate the dead spirits, appease or punish the souls of the dead, although there are constantly gods entering this place to live permanently, but for so many years there is actually no "ruler" in the underworld, so this place should not have life, but Savis is not mistaken, the plants on the river do have vitality.
He walked to the bank of the river and stared at the plants for a long, long time before he slowly spoke: "Maybe you would like to come out and meet me, after all, if I am not mistaken, you should have brought me here on purpose." β
The calm waters of the lake slowly rippled, and the strange plants shook their leaves wildly, and the leaves beat the river so that the ripples were interrupted by ripples, and what was originally a small movement gradually expanded, and at last the river spun into a whirlpool, and a young girl came out of the whirlpool and fell in front of Savis.
With the appearance of the maiden, the darkness that had been frozen disappeared - no, not disappearing, but part of it was pouring into her body, and the rest of it became a black sleeveless skirt around her, and after the black disappeared, the surroundings were restored to the gray that they had before, although it was impossible to see the whole picture, but it was good to see the surrounding scenery.
The girl who came out of the water looked very beautiful, but the expressionless appearance was prohibitive, just looking at those eyes, people had the fear that the next moment she would disassemble you into small pieces and slowly eat them, and Savis himself had the illusion of feeling that he had been pinned down by the other party for a moment.
"You ......" he subconsciously was wary of the other party, thinking that the other party could attack the two of them without him and Hades noticing, so the strength would definitely not be worse, if he could, he would like to ask the other party why he brought him here, as much as possible not to conflict with the other party, "You brought me here, right." β
"You are a special being. The girl frowned slightly and walked over to Savis, "Ever since I knew you, I'd love to pull you here to see what was going on." Although she looks like a girl, her voice is very mature, and there is a little curiosity in her tone, as if she really brought Savis here because of curiosity, "Obviously conceived by the ocean, the source of power is the 'blessing' of Ouranos, without the godhead you should be a kraken, but your life is longer than any kraken, and if I guess correctly, your body should be able to accept the power of other gods." β
When she finished saying this, the person had already come to Savis, because Savis was also a teenager, so the two were about the same height at the moment, and when they looked at each other, Savis found that the girl's pupils were imprinted with flowers on the river.
"You know my deposit, but I don't know you yet. Although the other party did not show hostility, Savis still did not dare to take it lightly, "Do you mind telling me your name?"
"I don't have a name. The girl shrugged and said, "Like you, I was born with a purpose, but unlike you, I was conceived by the river here, but no one gave me a 'blessing' or a 'curse', and I was born without a name for so long. β
"It shouldn't be...... Whether it's a god or a fairy or an elf, you should have your own name after you are born, and even if you don't, you can choose your own name. β
"Do you see this darkness? She pulled down her skirt, "If I should have a name, then my name should be 'Nyx', but unfortunately I can't use that name, so I don't have a name so far." β
Nyx, born in Kaos, the goddess of the night, one of the terrible gods with extremely powerful power, is one of the five creation gods like Gaia, the god of the earth, although she is not as influential as Gaia in Olympus, but no one dares to underestimate her, if Gaia treats every god as if he were his own children, then Nyx is not so gentle, she has Gaia does not have, the power to restrain the gods.
Savis was slightly surprised: "The existence of the underworld itself is the 'night' opposite to Olympus, why is there still a 'night' in the 'night'?"
"I don't know, that's what I brought you here for. The girl clasped her hands to her chest and said, "I know that you lack a godhead, and the purpose of your coming to the underworld is to find a godhead, right, as long as you go and help me do something, I will help you get a godhead." β
Savis frowned, and had to admit that the girl's offer was very attractive, but ......
"What do you need me to do? If it's something very dangerous, I probably won't be able to promise you. "What if this person wants to get a name and let himself find Nyx and then kill her, although he has the blessing of Ouranos, but Ouranos himself is not enough to look at in front of Nyx, let alone himself, a kraken who only has a little bit of his power.
"This river is the fifth river born in the underworld. The girl pointed to the river beside them and said, "There should have been four rivers in the underworld, but by chance, this fifth river was born without anyone expecting it, this is a forbidden/taboo river that should not be stored in zΓ i, what I want you to do is to find a way to destroy this river, if you can do it, I will find a suitable godhead for you." β
"If I'm not mistaken, you were born in this river. Savis looked at her in amazement, "Your strength comes from this river, and if this river is destroyed by me, then it will be time for you to die." β
"It's not such an exaggeration, I don't have a godhead and I don't have much strength, I haven't been in the underworld for so many years, if you can do it, I can also help you block Kronus from entering here, isn't the purpose of your coming to the underworld to prevent Kronos from finding Tartaros?" she raised her chin proudly, "Tartaros just fell asleep not long ago, and he won't wake up in the short term, if I have my help, I can block Kronus from entering without alarming the other gods who live in the underworld, what do you think?"
Savis didn't immediately promise her: "You bring Hades to me first, and I'll talk to him about it, his strength is stronger than mine, and if he agrees, the chances of destroying the river are better than the chances of me trying to figure it out myself." β
The girl thought about it, probably she had also checked Hades's situation before, and knew that Savis was not lying, so she nodded and agreed to Savis's request.
