Under Dante's protection, Athena quickly passed through the heavy guard of the Sydney guards and entered the Holy Sepulchre of Nolanza, and before heading to hell, Dante told Athena one last thing to do:

"You have these four artifacts with you, all of them are indispensable. Doji Drop Earrings, which will help you block out the madness of the abyss and prevent you from being driven crazy by the madness, and the Butterfly Mask, which will shield your breath so that you won't be spotted by the creatures of the underworld, whether demons or demons. ”

Athena tugged hard at the earrings, pinched the butterfly mask, and made sure that the two artifacts were firmly seated on her body before nodding to Dante.

"Besides, the Cloud Boots, it can help you walk on the ground, of course you don't want to use the Cloud Boots to walk on the River Styx, so the end will not last a few seconds, the Cloud Boots will be scrapped, its purpose is to let you step on the floats of the River Styx, with the help of floats to walk. ”

Athena patted the magnificent Cloud Boots on her feet, which got their name from the cloud carving depicted on the bottom of the boots: "What's that, the floating object on the River Styx?"

"Even if it is a soul, it will only flow under the River Styx, can not, at least it cannot sink into the River Styx for the time being, except for the corpses of fallen gods, there is only the Abyss Monster Hand, that thing will be extremely powerful even if it is dead, and the Cloud Boots can protect you from them. ”

"The last one, Jade Ruyi, Jade Ruyi will continue to provide you with physical strength, in the past, your six generations of Zu Ke Ang Shi'en liked to use Jade Ruyi when forcibly marching, to create unexpected military operations, now Jade Ruyi's energy is dying, but it is still enough for you to go to the River Styx for a round trip. ”

Athena touched the jade-like jade Ruyi around her waist, and the jade Ruyi was locked around her waist, and she also tied a knot on Athena's hand, multiple guarantees to avoid losing this extremely important jade Ruyi.

Just as Dante was giving Athena his final advice, the footsteps of the patrol soldiers were heard not far away, they were the guards in charge of guarding the Holy Sepulchre, seeing this, Dante was no longer verbose, and quickly opened the road to hell: "Go to the Styx prison to find the two ancestors, they will help you." ”

After Athena thanked Dante, she stepped into the portal, looking at Athena's body engulfed in light, Dante muttered, "Is it really appropriate to put the responsibility of saving the country on the body of a 17-year-old girl?" After a trance, Dante came to his senses, and then quickly disappeared before the patrol arrived, leaving the patrols with a confused face.

The next day, the Nolanza Sepulchre Patrol handed over a report to the Provisional City Council of the Sydney Occupation Forces, in which the group swore that the Holy Sepulchre of Nolanza had been apparitioned last night.

Regardless of the dreamy report (in the language of the Provisional City Government) presented by the patrolmen, it tells of what happened to Athena after she entered the underworld.

The place where Athena descended was an uninhabited crossing near the River Styx, and in front of her was the mighty Styx, and under the surface of the River Styx shimmered with illusory light, and Athena knew that, according to the priests, it was the soul, and only the souls of the gods would not be swallowed up by the waters of the River Styx, otherwise they would be mixed into a mess.

The land where Athena was standing should belong to hell, Athena turned her head to look back, and saw that in front of her were countless springs buried in sulfur pits, which were called Huangquan Road in the mortal world, and some places farther along the Yellow Spring Road, according to the shadows of rare cities, were buried in the smoke of blood and sulfur.

If you look across the Styx, then there will be an abyss with no end in sight, Athena is limited in her perspective and cannot see the whole picture of the abyss, here she can only see a line in a daze, but just this line makes Athena feel speechless horror.

Looking up, the sky was gloomy but slightly shiny clouds, a gloom that would never dissipate, according to the priests, and beneath the haze, over the River Styx was a mist of blood, and in hell was a smoke of brimstone.

As for the Styx, as Dante had said, it was full of broken clumps, the product of the battle between the demons and the devil not long ago.

And the reason why there is no devil's corpse is not that the devil is stronger than the abyssal monster hand, but that once the devil's corpse falls into the river Styx, it is quickly corroded, but the demons, such as the corpse of the abyss monster hand, can be preserved for a long time, and now these corpses are Athena's springboard to the Styx prison.

"Whew, go in the direction of the river, Uncle Dante said, and I must go up the river Styx quickly, if I walk on the river bank for a long time, even the butterfly mask will not be able to shelter my breath, as long as the interference of the river Styx is combined with the butterfly mask, I can really avoid being noticed. ”

After calming down, Athena cheered herself up a few times, then set the timing and jumped onto the chosen corpse in one big stride.

When stepping on the corpse of the abyssal monster hand, Athena's whole person was not good, as if countless people were buzzing in her ears, buzzing and noisy, startled Athena hurriedly rubbed the Doji earrings, and after a while, with the soft light of the Doji earrings, the sound of wild screaming gradually weakened, but it was still not eliminated, and the whispers were always lingering.

When looking at the banks of the River Styx, Athena only saw that the strange hand was a vague red piece of flesh, at first Athena, as the name suggests, thought it was the minced flesh of a giant's finger, but after stepping on it, Athena found that this was a piece of minced flesh, which was clearly an irregular object formed by twisting fleshy tentacles of different sizes.

To make matters worse, Athena was sure she could see quite clearly, that the pieces of flesh were floating on the River Styx, but they weren't completely dead, and that the longer, partially bare tentacles were still writhing unconsciously. But having arrived here, how can there be any talk of going home? So Athena can only move forward.

When stepping on the minced meat, Athena felt very slippery, like those fish that had not yet been processed, but after a few moments, the Cloud Boots glowed, and Athena's feet instantly became sticky, sticking her body firmly to the minced meat, so that Athena would not be slipped out of the minced meat and fall into the River Styx.

When she found that this stickiness was very strong, Athena was worried about whether she could lift her feet to walk, but when Athena lifted her feet, she found that this stickiness did not hinder her walking, and fortunately, it seemed that it was the effect of the Colorful Cloud Boots, and these tentacles that were still active did not seem to attack Athena.

Seeing such a scene, Athena, who was overjoyed, prayed several times in her heart: "Thanks to the protection of the goddess, she has given me such treasures." ”

So Athena cautiously walked forward, climbed up to the higher place of the minced meat to look ahead, and waited for an unknown amount of time, maybe ten minutes, maybe an hour, Athena noticed a small black dot in front of her, and as the minced flesh got closer and closer to the small black dot, Athena also saw that this was probably the Styx prison she was looking for.

The Styx Prison is a gateless minaret church, and Athena only vaguely sees that there are a few windows at the top of the spire, and the entire prison is carried by a large rectangular (of course, Athena can't tell it from the angle) large iron plate, which can actually float on the surface of the water despite the corrosion of the River Styx.

In fact, Athena heard even more terrifying news from Dante, this large iron piece did not appear recently, in fact, it is more than a thousand years old.

It is said that more than 1,000 years ago, some gods disobeyed the will of the ancestral gods and were imprisoned by the ancestral gods in the River Styx, although the gods were later released from the prison after completing their sentences, but this prison is still preserved, and it has remained to this day as a prison for the two ancestors.

And when she got here, Athena understood what Yu Ruyi was used for, after all, Athena's physical exertion was not serious at this time, and Yu Ruyi's recovery physical strength was used here.

Perhaps the ancestral god had cast a spell on the prison to make the Styx where the prison was located a particularly wide section of the river, and there was even a whirlpool, so Athena had to use this large piece of floating flesh to keep jumping until she was close enough to the prison to jump through.

Jumping again and again, Athena got closer and closer to the prison, but no matter how much she jumped and waited, none of them could reach the distance that Athena expected, and then began to drift away, which forced Athena to find new minced meat to make her own carrier.

At this time, Jade Ruyi played a role, Athena in the underworld, whether it is using spiritual power or physical movement, the physical strength consumed is far better than that of the mortal world, and Jade Ruyi has almost become a source of strength to support Athena's continued action.

Sensing that the frequency and number of minced meat drifting here began to gradually decrease, Athena also realized that her opportunity was gradually lost, and if she continued to wait, she was afraid that the minced meat would be gone.

Athena was getting closer and closer to the Styx prison again, and Athena, who had begun to familiarize herself with the laws of floats, knew that when she reached that position, the floats would start to move away again, but even if she jumped from that position, she couldn't jump to the iron plate with the distance Athena had now.

Suddenly, Athena remembered what Dante had said when she reached the Styx: "Of course you don't want to walk on the Styx with the Cloud Boots, which won't last a few seconds." ”

Dante's original intention was to warn that even the Cloud Boots could not resist the erosion of the River Styx, but wasn't it in other words, that the Cloud Boots could hold up in the River Styx for a few seconds?

While Athena was still thinking, the location of the minced meat was gradually approaching the optimal position, so Athena stopped thinking and jumped towards the iron plate that extended from the Styx prison.

This jump, Athena didn't drive her feet forward and let the soles of her feet go over her shoulders, so that even if she could stand on the iron plate, she would soon fall down due to the unstable center of gravity.

Therefore, Athena's posture is quite indecent toad fluttering, and she strives to be able to touch the iron plate with her upper body, and as for her lower body, she can only hope that Caiyun Boots can withstand the test.

It turned out that Athena's struggle was successful, and the lower half of her body that fell into the Styx was like stepping on the ground as if she was firmly on the ground because of the colorful cloud boots, and Athena naturally knew that this kind of walking on the Styx was just an illusion, so she didn't hesitate, and quickly kicked her legs, allowing her whole person to reach the iron plate.

It was Athena's unhesitation that saved her life, because when Athena was covered in iron plates and looked back at the soles of her feet, she found that the Cloud Boots had collapsed and turned into ashes a moment later.

The Cloud Boots saved her life, which is a good thing, but how to go back? Athena looked at the slow way home, her heart was a little more worried, and her whisper suddenly increased the clutter, so frightened that Athena quickly shook her head to calm her mind and body, and then looked at the spire church in front of her, and the butterfly mask sensed that this was the place where the ancestors of the saints were imprisoned.
