Chapter 577: Target: Athena
When Hades was the king of Hades, after death, the souls of the people were arranged by Hermes, one of the twelve main gods, to the ferry of the Styx.
Here, the god Caron is responsible for ferrying souls into the underworld, of course, souls who have no money to bribe will be allowed by Caron to wander near the River Styx for a year, and if they do not die, they will be picked up for free.
The souls that Caron has received, after crossing the River Styx, will enter the Paradise of Truth, which connects two paths, the Elysée Paradise, a place of happiness, and Hell, a place of suffering.
However, before entering the Pastoral Realm of Truth, the soul is first sent to the judgment seat to be judged by the three great judges of the underworld, Minos, Radamantis, and Aijagers.
The guilty will go to hell, and the innocent will go to the Élysée Paradise.
Originally, after Hades's death, the various gods in charge of the actual management had some ideas, but after sensing the appearance of the new Hades, they all put away their thoughts and honestly did not dare to move.
Xu Jing didn't want to change anything, after he left Tartarus, he didn't even summon these guys, he just asked Kodia to send a clan to inform him, and he didn't care about it anymore.
After Karon and the other gods were notified, they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and soon performed their duties, restoring the underworld to its former state.
And Xu Jing went to the location of the Hades Palace, which is located between the Elysée Paradise and Hell, and is a palace created by Hades's divine power.
But now that Hades is dead, the former palace has collapsed and disappeared, and Persephone has disappeared.
But in the open plain, there was something that had been left behind, stuck like a short dagger made of stone into a striking rock, so that it could be seen at a glance.
This is Hades' artifact double-strand fork, which was specially created by the fire god Hephaestus to command the cyclops in order to deal with Kronos.
In addition, there is Zeus's thunder and Poseidon's trident, which are also forged together, and the victory spear that can be combined into these three artifacts can be described as Kronos's nemesis.
Xu Jing stepped forward, pulled out the double-strand fork in the shape of a stone dagger, weighed it in his hand, and poured divine power into it to restore its original appearance.
I have to say that this artifact was born for the Hades, and the divine power of death flowed unhindered, and it could actually increase the power by about twenty percent.
After waving a few times casually, after trying the power, Xu Jing's eyes looked back at the stone with the double-strand fork inserted before.
On the stone, there is also a message written.
This message was left by Hades' wife, Persephone, to tell Xu Jing that she would not avenge Hades, but instead expressed her gratitude.
In addition, leaving Hades's weapon is also a statement, not wanting to offend him, the new Hades King, and hoping that Xu Jing can let her go in large quantities.
"It's smart."
Xu Jing secretly praised, and with a slight wave of the double-strand fork in his hand, he smashed the stone with a message written on it into pieces.
Naturally, he would not be idle to trouble Persephone, and in fact he did not have to worry about the other party at all.
As far as he knew, Persephone, as the daughter of Zeus and the goddess of agriculture Demeter, was kidnapped by Hades and taken to the underworld to marry, and the two parties themselves had no feelings at all, and after Hades' death, they were considered to have regained their freedom.
Xu Jing put away the double-strand fork again, then looked around, and with a thought, a palace of divine power slowly emerged from nothing.
He is now also regarded as the spokesperson of heaven and earth, ruling the underworld, and here he has some abilities that can only be possessed by reaching the strength of the realm realm, and it is simply easy to create a palace with divine power.
As for the question of whether the divine power is enough, Xu Jing is not worried at all.
After the fusion of the laws of his body and the appearance of the godhead in his body, the system once again opened up the option of managing the gods that appeared in the Caribbean world.
Negative emotions such as fear and death of human beings will automatically be received and transformed by the system into pure divine power, which enhances his power all the time.
Compared to other gods, Xu Jing was simply unhappy, he didn't have to deal with the prayers of believers, nor did he have to go through the trouble of transforming divine power.
The efficiency of the system was high and fast, and in his estimation, the amount of transformation divine power of the system was at least twice as much as that of Hades for the same level of fear he received, and it was a second turn.
After Xu Jing created the palace, he lived in it.
For the next period of time, his life was peaceful, and in addition to going to the prison every day to apply a mask to Kronos, what he was most concerned about was the human condition.
In the battle between him and Hades that day, the king of Argos "tragically" died on the spot, and the heir princess Andrew Meda also fell into the sea and disappeared.
The remnants of the believers in the gods were all killed by Xu Jing, and then Zeus, in order to restore his faith as soon as possible, arranged for Hestia, the goddess of the furnace, and Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, to stay in Argos for a period of time, and set up a new king.
However, when the two goddesses left and returned to Mount Olympus, Acreus, who had been instructed by Xu Jing and had a makeover, appeared.
He assassinated the new king, causing chaos throughout Argos, and then, after showing enough ability, he was chosen as the new king.
Acrius had been king in his own right, and he quickly stabilized the situation, and having learned the lessons of the last time, he did not show hostility to the gods as soon as he came to power.
On the contrary, he also showed enough sincerity to start rebuilding temples for each of the twelve main gods and called on the people to believe in the gods.
However, it is clear that the people of Argos, who have suffered greatly from opposing the gods several times, cannot resolve the resentment of the gods in their hearts, and they have long seen through the essence of the gods.
The gods need their faith and their worship, but when they encounter difficulties, when they need the gods, they can't rely on each other at all, even if you are usually religious, there are very few people who can get the slightest help from the gods.
In that case, what else do you need the gods for?
Therefore, after believing and being disappointed, people wake up to the fact that it is better to pray to God than to themselves, and the gods are too high for them.
After all, mortals don't know the difficulties of the gods, as gods, they will receive countless prayers every minute, so they naturally can't pay attention to everyone, and if they respond to the prayers of each believer and help each other, the divine power and energy they have paid will not recover the cost at all.
Therefore, when the gods are confronted with the prayers of believers, unless they are fanatics, they do not even bother to respond, and they will not even listen.
The people of Argos are not wrong in thinking that the gods are a bunch of moths that lie on their stomachs and suck their blood.
And Akres's behavior of wasting money to build the temple undoubtedly caused an uproar, but in secret, he guided public opinion, and in the end he did not hurt himself at all, and all the contradictions were directed to the gods.
Of course, in this process, Xu Jing also secretly helped Akeris a lot, if he didn't help cover up, the other party's various actions would not have been able to hide from the prying eyes of the gods.
Xu Jing has also been waiting, waiting for an opportunity, he first locked his eyes on Athena, and on the day the other party's temple was built, the opportunity finally came.
