38. Chapter XXXVIII
The girl was lying on the bank of the river, looking decadent.
After Hades left, she never moved.
The cry echoed through the deep space of the underworld, occasionally reaching her ears, and the sound she had become accustomed to was very annoying at the moment, she had realized that something was wrong with her not long ago, but she couldn't help it.
When Gaia and Kronos came from the other side, although she was a little late, she realized that it was not the spirits but the gods that came from the other side.
Sensing danger almost instinctively, she rolled over on the ground and rolled into the River Styx.
"What was that?" Cronos and Gaia frowned when they saw a figure enter the River Styx.
Gaia didn't care about this: "Don't worry, whether it's a soul or something else, since you have entered the Styx, you will not come up again, it should be the poor person who was too close to the Styx and was finally pulled in." "The River Styx has a great binding force on many gods and spirits, which is something that all gods know, it does not kill the gods, but there is a powerful force that imprisons the gods at the bottom of the river, absorbing his divine power and dark feelings.
So Gaia told Sù Cronus that he didn't need to care who it was, even if the people who were initially wary of them were pulled into the River Styx, there was no possibility of getting out.
"Let's go. Gaia said lightly, "It's been a long time since I've been here, this place has changed a lot since the last time I came, and now I'm not sure about this place, we need to find Tartarus," she added after speaking, "I hope he's not sleeping." ”
Kronos had heard of Tartarus' bad habits from Gaia, and had come into contact with him once or twice, and knew that he was a very strange god, and after that one or two encounters he was sure that he did not really want to contact Tartarus, and sometimes he felt that Tartarus gave him the feeling that he was always welcome to visit the underworld - as a deceased.
Before he came to the underworld alone, he was more or less bottomless, and at that time he also planned to avoid contact with Tartarus as much as possible if he could, there are many mysterious things in the underworld, he can always find a way to mend his godhead, but since Gaia came behind him, then he can only look for the other party.
When they were far away, the man they had decided was impossible to walk up from the River Styx slowly crawled out of the water.
The girl lay on the shore and looked in the direction where the two had disappeared, and a deep thought flashed in her eyes.
"Has Gaia been here?" and then the lifeless voice of Caron was heard, and the girl turned her head to see that he had come to her with the boat at some point.
"Yes," she said, pointing in the direction in which the two had disappeared, "walked over there, are you going to look for them?"
"No, you don't. "Cuarón sat down on the boat slowly, he was obviously a young god, but many of his habits were reminiscent of the slow old men on the earth, but when he overturned the ship carrying Hades and Savis before, his movements were extremely neat, which was really strange," they could not persuade Tartarus. ”
"I've heard that Gaia and Tartarus have a pretty good relationship. The girl held her chin in her hand, "Of the several gods of them, it seems that these two have the best relationship." "Compared to the other gods, who are not bad friends with Gaia, but can basically not contact without contact, Tartarus, who is still willing to contact Gaia and occasionally helps, has a really good relationship with her.
"Tartarus basically won't wake up now, it's been a long time since I've seen him awake, Gaia won't be unaware of this, I think she must have a purpose for coming this time. "And it's not about them, it's about ......."
Before he finished speaking, the whole river Styx shook, so that Caron, who was still sitting on the boat, almost fell off the boat, but fortunately the girl looked wrong and stabilized the boat in time.
"What's going on?" asked the girl, surprised as she felt the dead water of the entire river suddenly speed up like a rushing river.
The water of the River Styx flows rapidly, and the whole river can still be heard from time to time to vibrate, but there is no time on the riverbank, the soul at the bottom of the river is frightened by the sudden movement of the River Styx and accelerates its struggle, but the soul on the bank of the river is the same as always, there is no change, Caron was also looking around in surprise, but it didn't take long for him to react, "hehe" and then stretched out his hand to pull the girl to the boat, and then rowed the boat forward in the turbulent river.
Passing by other rivers along the way, there were also different reactions.
As soon as the girl left the water, she didn't have much strength, she lay on the boat, her breathing gradually became rapid, although the boat was safe in the turbulent water, but it was not very stable, she experienced for the first time what it was like to drive in a storm, I don't know if it was her own physical reasons, or because of the boat, the more she left the Styx, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Obviously, she doesn't need to suffocate without breathing like a human, but at this moment, she feels that she is really about to suffocate, and the most terrible thing is that as the boat moves, it is clear that there is a churning river around her, but in this turbulent impact, she can feel a faint call.
I don't know if it was the sound or the power, but in short, her heart suddenly became urgent, and she almost jumped off the boat to speed up her swim, if she didn't really have the strength to turn over and get off the boat, she had no doubt that she would have to turn over in the next moment.
By the time Caron had brought the boat to a halt and the river had quieted down, she was relieved.
Before she could get off the boat, she heard Cuarón seem to be speaking to someone: "You can't get in like this." ”
She looked up, and saw that Hades, who had left with her hair before, was standing in front of a large field of plants, where the river had disappeared, and above there was a large area of vines that intertwined with each other without leaving a single gap, but at this time, under this plant, a faint trace of dark blue light could be seen trying to drill out, although it would be covered by plants just now, but it could also be seen that many plants were avoided as if they were burned under the "pushing" of the light.
And Hades, who was standing at the end of the river, was being stopped outside by an unknown force, and he couldn't get in anyway.
The light seemed to have expanded to a certain extent at the bottom of the water, and although it did not pour out from the layers of vegetation, it spread out underneath, and the entire area of vegetation was reflected in a faint blue, which stood out in the gray space.
Hades tried no means to break the unknown force, and eventually, he slowly sat down on the water, closed his eyes, and covered his hand over the force that stood in his way.
The girl noticed that as early as when she first met them, Hades was still very taboo about the river here, although darkness and death were the source of Hades' power, but Hades himself did not like to touch water, and Savis was still very worried that Hades who came into contact with the water of the Styx River would be affected, so he basically would not let him get close to the river, but now this person is sitting on the water, stunned and has no other reaction.
She put her hand into the water, although it was not the river that gave birth to her, but because it was the water source that gave birth to her, she could touch the water of other rivers and feel their condition.
"There's something wrong with the river. She whispered, "Is that him?" Hades...... Still is......
"He's figured out how to suppress or take power here. Cuaron said in a deep voice, stopping the boat away from Hades, from Hades he was keenly aware of the danger, although it was not a long time since he had been in contact with Hades, but for the first time he felt the pressure emanating from Hades, "What's wrong with you?"
"I ...... I don't know......" she grabbed her throat and looked very ugly, as if she couldn't breathe, "I ...... I'm so ...... Uncomfortable......" Before she finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew, carrying a force, lifted her up from the boat, and then dragged her into the water, and before she could react, a whirlpool suddenly formed in the water, and then pulled her into the bottom of the water.
Cuarón stood on the boat, his outstretched hand just like that, stopping in mid-air.
And at the same time, a woman in black appeared on Cuarón's ship, looking at Hades from afar.
"Mother. Caron said slowly, "Why are you here?" "It's been a long time since he's seen Nyx, he's been to Styx not long after he was born, in fact, not many of the children Nyx has had stayed with her for a long time, they've all left their parents not long after they've been born, but because Nyx has lived in the underworld in recent years, Caron can still see her occasionally, although there's really nothing to talk about between the two.
"The underworld is shaking. Nyx raised an eyebrow slowly, "I just wanted to see who caused the changes in the entire underworld. "The changes in the underworld are difficult to detect, Nyx has lived in the underworld for many years because of his powerful divine power, and Caron was born in the underworld, so he can sense that something is wrong when the underworld has just changed, "For so many years, so many gods have not been able to find the god of Hades, and it is really interesting that the second born after Gaia carries the god of domination, I heard that their brother drove Kronos away from Olympus some time ago?" With his hands on his chest, Nyx looked with interest at Hades, who was still sitting firmly on the water.
"Gaia has already come to the underworld, don't you know?" These gods who have existed since the birth of the world seem to have some kind of sense, often the other party is only close enough to detect the other's existence, and Caron dares to guarantee that if his mother does not know that Gaia has come to the underworld, he will destroy the godhead.
Nyx sneered, "Where did she come to the underworld to find Tartarus, but when she finds out that Tartarus can't help him, the Immortal Godhead should be her next target." ”
How many gods came to the underworld for this Hades Godhead, but many people didn't even cross the River Styx - there was no ferryman on the river at that time - they were dragged into the water without even having a chance to return, and since then, the gods who have never taken death seriously finally gave up the idea of finding the unknown godhead, and there are more souls in the underworld, but there are fewer gods, but if the news of the appearance of the Hades Godhead is released, it will definitely attract the attention of many people.
Don't talk about others, just say that Gaia and Kronos, who are still in the underworld, it is estimated that they will do everything possible to seize the godhead, kill them if they can't take them, and wait for the second condensation of the godhead.
"What about you. Cuarón asked, "Are you interested in the Godhead of Hades?" ”
"I didn't stay in the underworld because of it. "I just sensed movement so I came over and took a look." "She's been in the underworld for so long, and there's something in the underworld that can't hide from her, she just rushes over to take a look, "However, even so, it seems that he is not enough to rule the underworld," she looked at Hades carefully, "It's strange that Gaia didn't have any accidents when she was born to rule the earth, and this kid has a ruling godhead but can't control the underworld?"
"It may have something to do with the fact that he was swallowed into Kronos's stomach before, so his divine power was suppressed. ”
"If you are swallowed at birth, it is indeed possible. Nyx snapped her fingers, only to see that the river water under the boat quickly condensed into a water ball on her fingers, and the river water, which was originally quite transparent and clear, quickly turned black after condensing into a ball, "Let me try to see where he is now, if he can't do it, he can only wait for death." ”
Before Cuarón could react, he threw the black balloon over.
Rao is Caron's very indifferent temperament, and he couldn't help but be taken aback the moment he saw Nix's move, his face, which originally didn't have much expression, was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Hades, although it was a temptation, but if he didn't resist, it was hard to say whether Hades could survive.
At the moment when he was stunned, the black water ball had flown in front of Hades, and he was about to smash into Hades's body, and the next moment, the shell of Savis, who was still shrunk into a shell ornament, suddenly expanded instantly, and smashed into the water, and the splashed high-level water ball actually blocked the attack of the water ball, wrapped the water ball that flew at great speed, and instantly resolved the attack, and then the cohesion of the water ball was destroyed, and the black water spread, and returned to the bottom with the splash, instantly dyeing the entire river into a piece of black, and the shell turned into a trinket back to Hades's body after resolving the offensive。
"What kind of power is that. Nyx had guessed a lot of ways Hades would fight back, but she hadn't guessed this, the shell that had grown bigger in an instant, something she hadn't expected. She can understand that the underworld automatically protects Hades, but she doesn't understand this strange shell.
"That's Savis's shell, but that shell shouldn't be useful without Savis, I didn't expect it to jump out to prevent Hades. "The most important thing is that it can defuse Nyx's attack.
"The one who was locked underwater?" she knew that someone was locked up at the bottom of the fifth river, but she didn't care about the identity of the other party, "being suppressed, and still being able to order this river ......"
The other party's divine power is not strong, but she just used the water of this river as a medium, and the most labor-saving way is to use the water of this river to dissolve it, Hades didn't make a move, but this shell can act under the control of that person.
"It's really funny," as if thinking of something, her originally arrogant expression suddenly softened, "It's really interesting that the Godhead of the Queen of Hades actually controls this underworld before the Godhead of the Hades." ”
"The Queen...... Godhead
As if to confirm their suspicions, on Hades' side, not long after the shell returned to Hades, Hades finally solved the invisible force that had been holding him back, and was about to walk onto that "meadow" , I saw that the vines that were originally covered in the water were suddenly exploded by the blue light below in an instant, and disappeared before they could fly into the air, and the soft blue light that lost its blocking illuminated the sky above the entire river in an instant, and the huge divine power formed an invisible coercion spread out from the river, except for Nyx who was still standing firmly on the boat, Hades and Caron were more or less affected, and Caron was almost forced to fall on the boat.
And at the center of the storm, a man was slowly heading towards Hades.
It was Savis, who I hadn't seen for a long time.
