Chapter 149: The Real Deal
The words of the sworn words were still in my ears at the last moment, and at this moment it became a joke beyond my strength, Ye Ye's face was expressionless and stiff, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he stood on the spot like a pillar.
In the hall of the Palace of Spring, a young man with an ordinary appearance sat on the throne with a smile, but the whole palace, the whole Elysée Paradise, or the whole of Hades, seemed to be respectfully surrendering to the young man's knees, even if his appearance was so ordinary that he could not see a trace of features, but just sitting there made people feel that he was the master of this world.
Behind him, stood a beautiful goddess as brilliant as spring, with a fresh and vivid breath of life, and every breath and breath attracted the flowers of the whole palace to bloom to the fullest, making the palace full of the beauty of life.
This was the first sight that Ye Ye, who had successfully infiltrated the Palace of Spring, saw, and before he had time to be shocked, the ordinary young man on the throne raised his hand and made a move, and the invisible helmet, the biggest reliance on Ye Ye's head, turned into a streamer and flew back into the young man's hand, revealing Ye Ye's figure undoubtedly.
"Ha, Di, Si!"
Ye Ye stiffened his face and squeezed out this unknown name from between his teeth, which was heavy enough to make most gods tremble. At this moment, he wanted to return to the surface immediately and chop the lying witch into meat sauce, and it was obvious that he had been pitted by the cruel deception and the natural scourge of drinking water, and he was severely pitted.
Damn, I knew that the kind of woman who brought disaster to the country and the people couldn't believe it, why did I have a heartbroken lard!
Ye Ye's face was pale, but he was sad in his heart, knowing that he had lost his gambling this time and even dropped his pants, but he couldn't understand why he had no grievances with Medea to cheat him like this, even if he moved the burial place of her relative Faetong, wouldn't it be over if he directly notified the sun god Helios to kill him?
"Hello, guest from another world, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Not at all like the legendary serious and cold voice, but with a sense of relaxed playfulness, Hades chuckled and greeted Ye Ye.
Well?
Ye Ye was stunned in his heart, hearing this, could it be that Medea wanted to trap him in the underworld, but that the master of the underworld was the master. He thought about it quickly in his mind, and after a moment he spat out a question bitterly from his mouth: "Is it Delphi?" ”
Hades had a pleasant smile on his face, but it was Persephone, the goddess of spring, who was standing behind him, who replied, "You are very clever, it was Dionysus who discovered your identity and informed us. ”
The warm and soothing voice like a spring breeze could not alleviate the heaviness in Ye Ye's heart, after coming to this world, there were only two times that could have his information leaked, one was when the goddess of wisdom in Athens came to him, and the other was when he met the true body of Dionysus in Delphi, and the latter was obviously more likely, presumably he had already seen through his otherworldly identity at that time, and that sentence of a stranger was really meaningful.
However, the god of wine did not inform Olympus, but chose to communicate with the underworld, which was much more than Ye Ye expected. Suddenly, a broken legend became clear in Ye Ye's mind, and there was another ethereal rumor about Dionysus's life experience. Although Hades had no descendants, Persephone once gave birth to a child, a boy named Zagreus, who was seduced by her father, Zeus, the king of the gods, into a dragon, and was so loved by Zeus that he even gave him the thunder and lightning that represented his authority as a toy, and hinted that the gods of Mount Olympus would be the next god-king. But unfortunately, Hera would never let go of any child of Zeus who was not born to her, especially such a favored child, and she instigated the Titans to kidnap the child and eat him in pieces, leaving only the heart to be rescued by Athena.
Later, after Zeus met the mortal woman Semele, he threw this heart into her womb, and finally gave birth to Dionysus, the god of wine, so that the god of wine also has a pair of horns on his head, just like Zagreus, who is called the god of horns. In other words, the physical mother of Dionysus in this life is the mortal Semele, but his spiritual mother is the queen of Hades, Persephone.
This rumor was spied by Ye Ye from the fragment of the memory of the kraken Miska, as the master of the sea who does not want to seize the throne of his brother Zeus all the time, Poseidon is obviously very interested in this rumor that may not be conducive to Zeus, but this statement is too illusory, almost the same as the joke of "watching the sea and listening to the waves" that Ye Ye said in reality, even this Poseidon son only regarded it as a small anecdote and didn't take it to heart at all.
But in retrospect, if this rumor had been true, many of the riddles about Dionysus would have been solved.
Hades smiled brightly, not seeing the ruthless temperament of the Lord of Death at all, but like a hospitable host, he nodded lightly to Ye Ye: "I'm sorry to let you come here in this way, but I hope you can understand, it's really inconvenient for me to walk out of the gate of Hades, otherwise my brother sitting on Mount Olympus will start to be suspicious again." ”
Ye Ye knew in his heart that although Poseidon had always been ambitious and did not hide his desire for the authority to rule the gods, what Zeus feared most in his heart was this unfathomable and silent king of the underworld. There is a way that dogs that bite people do not bark, although Hades is far away from the temple of the gods, and has always only closed the door and sat in the underworld, and even the position of the twelve main gods of Olympus does not have the position of this imminent Hades, but because of this, Zeus pays more attention to his brother's every move. Because the god-king who holds the power of the world is more than heart-to-heart, he does not believe that Hades, who is his brother and Poseidon, will have no interest in the supreme throne.
Because of this, on the one hand, Zeus has wooed Hades many times, even when Hades plundered him and Persephone, the daughter of the goddess of fertility, he was tolerant and covered up for him; On the other hand, Zeus appointed himself and Europa's two sons, Minos and Radamantis, as the two of the three judges of the underworld.
"Great Lord of the Underworld, I wonder what you have taken the trouble to bring me in, and what you are for? With your immense divine might, is there still a place where I am an insignificant mortal to serve? Ye Ye owed slightly, testing Hades's intentions.
"Hah!" Hades put one hand on his cheek and looked at Ye Ye with interest: "There is no need to be so cautious, although your strength is insignificant in my eyes, your identity is worthy of my solemn treatment." I want to ask you a question, visitors from other worlds, you must have experienced a lot of worlds, right? ”
Ye Ye raised his eyebrows, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Wise Hades, you are right, I have indeed traveled through many worlds, I don't know how you can see it?" "It's not surprising that such a great god who is almost at the highest level in the world can see through his identity in the other world, but it is not surprising to know that he has been to more than one world.
"As a god who controls death, I can see the remnants of the souls of the dead that linger in you, and although I can't find out their lives, it is not difficult for me to distinguish traces from different worlds." Hades, who had confirmed this, seemed very happy and patiently explained.
Ye Ye was silent for a while, except for the zombies he killed in the JOJO world, it seemed that there was really a mess in the other worlds, and many people were killed. However, presumably this Hades King is not here to administer justice for the souls of the revenants of the other world, Ye Ye simply went straight to the point: "Then the great King of Death, knowing this, what do you think?" ”
"It's simple, Otherworldly, I want to make a deal with you, a real deal." A mysterious smile appeared on Hades' face: "Although the priest of Hekat lured you into the underworld, she did not deceive you in this way, but the content of the transaction was not as she said, and the object of the transaction was not her, but me, the master of the underworld - Hades!" ”
"This really scares me!" Ye Ye lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the fleeting light in his eyes, and at the same time, his heart jumped a little excitedly. It is conceivable that with this level of great god personally going out, the content of this transaction may not be simple, but this also represents a huge benefit, and after a little restraint of his mind, Ye Ye silently regained his calm, raised his head and looked at Hades: "Then, please explain it carefully." ”
Hades didn't speak immediately, but his eyes were in a trance, as if he was looking into the unreachable future, and only sighed faintly after a moment.
"This world is too small!"
"The eternal youth of the gods of Olympus, who do not have to suffer from old age, sickness and death, eat delicacies, drink elixir, listen to the sounds of the muses, feast and drink every day, and enjoy themselves. The gods, with their power beyond the reach of mortals, and the absence of external enemies, ruled over everything in this world, and recklessly turned all beings upside down and teased all beings just for their own laughter, this is truly the golden age of gods. ”
"They thought that this wonderful life would last forever, but these fools are wrong!"
Hades spat out a disdainful sneer: "Only I, the king of the underworld who lives in the dark places of the world and rules the realm of death, can clearly feel that this world is moving towards destruction step by step. ”
"There is life and there is destruction, I don't know how many mortals in Hades who have reached the end of their lives have to surrender to the power of death, and the world has been the same, since the division of Kaos and the birth of this world, it has inevitably moved towards destruction. This process may be a long time, so long that even the immortal gods feel long, but that time will eventually come, and at that time, what will happen to us gods who are infinitely powerful and attached to the world, and will the glory of the gods continue to exist? I'd love to hear these fools cry out in fear like mortals facing death at that time, huh!"
