Inquisitor of the Underworld·9
"Oh~~ I see. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But Lord Dionysus is now presiding over the reception, he may not have time to see you, you better go back. ”
The young man's words were obviously driving Eren away, but in fact he wanted to drive Eren back mainly because of Hypnos. Because there was a little bit of a feud between the god-king Zeus and Hypnos, he felt that it was not good to casually put Eren in the Olympian realm, and it would be difficult to say if Zeus was angry with him.
"Hermes, let him in."
"Yes!"
Suddenly, there was a feminine and heroic voice in the sky. Hermes frowned slightly when he heard this voice, but there was no way for anyone to call this goddess very big, and he was embarrassed to continue to stop Eren when he was ordered to do so.
When Eren heard this voice, he was shocked at first, but he quickly reacted. The voice was all too familiar to him, it was clearly the voice of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. He knew such a goddess by his side, and no one but her would help him like this.
"You go in, but you have to remember not to run around~~."
"Yes, thank you, Lord Hermes."
Eren nodded and stepped up the stairs to Olympus, watching him step by step into the sky. Athena had a faint smile on her face at the end of the stairs, and the smile on her face grew stronger as she watched Eren step by step on the stairs.
This golden ladder has an alias called the ladder of trials, ordinary people can't climb up, and being able to reach the top of the ladder means that this person has the potential to become a god, and Athena now wants to see if Ellen has this potential.
Ellen didn't know that Athena was watching him at this time, and just climbed up the stairs step by step. The higher the staircase, the harder it became, and in a few moments, Eren felt a wave of tiredness sweeping in.
He continued to climb slowly with solid steps, and although the resistance was great, he had no intention of giving up. As clever as he had long thought that this might be the test that Athena had given him, how could he give up knowing this?
One-step, two-step, three-step...... Ten steps, a hundred steps, Eren felt like she had never been so tired. He was tired physically and mentally, but he continued to climb up, and soon he had climbed hundreds of steps, and when Eren looked up the stairs seemed endless, he began to wonder if he could climb them.
He didn't dare to look down, he knew that he was afraid of heights, and if he looked down and was dizzy all of a sudden, then all this would be in vain. Eren continued to climb up with heavy steps, and gradually, after walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally saw the end of the staircase, and the beautiful goddess who stood at the end of the staircase waiting for him.
"Come on, you'll be fine."
Athena had just concluded that Ellen was a good material to cultivate when Ellen was climbing the stairs, and as Ellen was approaching the end, she trusted her judgment more and more. However, at this time, Ellen did not know that the real test had just begun.
Another step, Ellen was so tired that she almost fell down. He gritted his teeth and continued to climb up, and every time he was exhausted, the thought of Leah gushed out with untold strength. Seeing Ellen take another step, Athena's face showed an approving smile. As a mortal, Eren has done a great job.
"Ten!"
Eren gritted his teeth and shouted out the number, although he had a feeling that he was about to faint. But his spiritual power has always supported him to continue to walk, and this step has fallen heavily. Eren felt like his leg was going to break, but he knew that he was a soul body, and it was impossible for him to break his leg, and he had to step to the top of the ladder anyway.
"Nine!"
Ellen took another step, and Hermes saw that Ellen had such potential. There was also a look of disbelief on his face, although he had not experienced this kind of trial, he also knew that the trial ladder was not something that a mortal soul could climb up casually, and he saw that Eren was about to succeed.
"Eight!"
Eren shouted a word again, and his feet landed heavily on the stairs. Perhaps Ellen's stubbornness is too dazzling, and he has become the object of the gods in the sky at some point. At this moment, a handsome man in a golden robe and a laurel crown watched Eren take steps, and his face showed an expression of interest.
"Dionysus, I heard that this boy has come to you. I really don't see it, this young man still has such perseverance and qualifications, it seems that he is a talent, do you think he came up? ”
The handsome man said to Dionysus, the god of wine beside him, and he ate the grapes and fruits on his plate as he spoke, after all, it was a wine banquet, and a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere was indispensable. At this time, Ellen's appearance was undoubtedly equivalent to giving the gods a small pastime, that is, guessing whether Eren could step on the top of the ladder.
"I'm not sure about that, but I think he should be able to come up."
Dionysus was confused, and he didn't know who Eren was or why he suddenly came to him. He came to Hermes's side in confusion, and then bowed his head to Hermes and asked him what had happened. Hermes naturally quietly told Dionysus what had happened, and Dionysus realized when he heard it.
"Feelings: This kid is from Hypnos, it's kind of interesting."
With this in mind, Dionysus continued to look at Eren who continued to climb, and at this time Eren was three steps away from the top of the stairs, and Eren gasped for breath as he stepped on the last third step of the stairs. He didn't dare to look back, and he didn't dare to look down, because he was afraid that he would give up this time, he was too tired.
"What? Sent by Hypnos? ”
Hearing Hermes's words, a beautiful young woman dressed in a gorgeous robe and looking graceful and luxurious looked at Eren who was trying to climb with a look of unhappiness on her face. After all, Zeus's side had not yet fully forgiven him for the matter of Hypnos, so the young woman secretly waved her hand and used a small trick.
"Two!"
Eren stepped up the penultimate staircase, and suddenly he felt a sudden increase in pressure. He fell to his knees at the top of the stairs at once, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he could no longer lift them. Seeing Ellen fall to her knees, a faint smile appeared on the young woman's face.
"Huh?"
Perhaps sensing that something was wrong, Athena looked at the beautiful young woman. Then she seemed to sense something, and the light in her eyes flashed, and suddenly Eren felt that the pressure on her body seemed to disappear in this instant.
