Chapter 30: The Hundred-Armed Giant
"About ten years ago, she was swept into the abyss by a python skin, and accidentally stumbled upon a portal to my land of the polar night, and I rescued her. "The Goddess of the Knicks will come by and speak in a soft and beautiful voice.
"May I ask the goddess, where is my aunt now?" finally got the news of a relative, which made Adros can't help but get excited, and his usual calm look is gone.
Hearing Adros's question, the Knicks looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Ten years ago, she went to help me do something in order to thank me, and she hasn't come back yet. โ
Seeing Adros's disappointed look, Nix sighed and said, "You didn't come to my Polar Night Land to find your aunt, I don't know why?"
Adros hurriedly told Della's situation one by one and asked, "May I ask if the goddess can see this girl?"
Nyx shook her head, but if anyone appeared in the Land of the Polar Night, she knew that the girl named Della had never been here.
"In that case, it seems that I can only go to the Tartarus Abyss. Adros muttered to himself.
"You're going to the Abyss. Nix's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head: "It's different from my land of the polar night, there are sin gods everywhere, and it's very chaotic, so you better wait until you're stronger in the future before going." โ
Adros said: "No need, time waits for no one, and no one can say what will happen in the future." The goddess doesn't have to worry about my safety, I have the means to protect myself. "Whether it was the artifact of the Sun-Shooting Bow or his own supernatural powers, it gave him the courage to dare to face the Lord God.
"That's it. Nyx pondered for a moment before saying, "Maybe you can see Asteria in the abyss and come out with her." โ
Adros's expression changed slightly, looking at the Knicks, waiting for her next.
Nix said lightly: "Back then, our five brothers and sisters, for some reasons, there was a big war, and you must have heard of it. โ
The famous battle of obscurantism, of course, Adros has heard of it, in this war, first the Lord of the Night Nix and his husband Erepos, the Lord of Darkness, parted ways, and then the Lord of Lust Eros's whereabouts of the battle with the Earth Mother Gaia are unknown, and then Erepos and the Lord of the Abyss Tartarus fought a life-and-death battle, but was repelled by the Earth Mother Gaia and Tartarus. The war lasted for several years, and none of the gods knew what the reason for it was, the only thing that was known was that after the Great War of Ignorance, Ouranos became the king of the gods.
"Then I never had any more contact with them, and I stayed alone in the land of the polar night, raising my children. Ten years ago, I gave birth to my youngest daughter, my favorite daughter, Hecate. But who knows, Tartarus took advantage of my postpartum weakness to tear open the portal of the Polar Night Land and have a great war with me, and my daughter Hekate went to the abyss of Tartarus through that rift. โ
"I found out about it after repelling Tartarus, but unfortunately it was too late, the rift was closed. I would love to get Hekate back, but neither I nor my children could feel it once I entered the Abyss. Sometime later, Asteria arrived in the Land of the Polar Night, and volunteered to find Hecate, and it has been almost ten years now. โ
After listening to Nix's story, Adros finally understood where Asteria was, and said to the Lord of the Night, "I will find them and bring them back with me." โ
Nix looked slightly sad, which made people feel distressed when they saw it: "Asteria hasn't returned for ten years, and I don't know if Hekate is no longer there." โ
"Don't worry, I've heard a saying in the world, if you are lucky, heaven and earth will bless him. Your daughter is a natural deity and will naturally be blessed by heaven and earth. Looking at the sad goddess, Adros comforted her.
Hearing this, Nix retracted his sorrow slightly, took out a dark black hair from his arms, and handed it to Adros: "Take this hair and send the divine power into it, no matter where you are, I can feel it, and open up a passage to my land of the polar night." โ
Adros took the strand of hair and found it to be extremely smooth, felt better than silk, and emitted a charming fragrance on it, and couldn't help but take it to his nose and smell it.
Seeing Adros's movements, the Lord of the Night couldn't help but blush slightly, and then smiled, he was a lot older, and he was actually molested by a hairy boy. This hair has been warmed by her heart for thousands of years, and the taste on it naturally comes from her. She smiled and sighed: "I didn't expect you to be so bold, even I dare to tease." โ
When Adros heard this, he hurriedly put away his hair and couldn't die anymore, and then Zhengse said: "I'm going to the abyss, but I, the divine servant, also ask His Highness Nix to take care of it on my behalf." โ
When Ian heard this, his white cheeks flashed with eagerness: "Lord Adros, I want to go to the Abyss Land with you. These days, she followed Adros from the human world to the underworld, and also knew that Adros was an extremely noble god, and some powerful gods she had heard of had friendships with him, not to mention following him to meet this primordial goddess.
"Nonsense, in a place like the abyss, I don't have to be sure how to take you to ensure my safety. Adros scolded.
Ian suddenly stopped talking, and once again complained about his low strength.
"Heh, your god is also a little interesting, a pure human race, can actually communicate the power of the laws of heaven and earth. The Knicks saw through Ian's reality at a glance, and couldn't help but sigh, "You can put her here with peace of mind, and I will help you teach and teach her further." โ
Adros hurriedly thanked Nix, and then went to the abyss of Tartarus under the leadership of the brothers Sleeping and Death.

Once again, they were on the Fields of Truth, but this time they were on the path that led to Tartarus. At the end of the road, Adros finally saw the legendary Abyssal Gate, a black whirlpool swirling at the bottom, and inside the whirlpool, there was a deep and dark place.
Beyond the whirlpool, there stood a naked giant, with fifty heads and a hundred arms, and between their breaths, it was like wind and thunder.
When the sleeping god Hypnos saw the giant, he greeted him warmly, "Guges, it's your turn to guard this portal today." โ
"Hypnos, you've come to throw the prisoner into the abyss again. Hey, he's still a god, what did he do? The giant's voice was so loud that it seemed to ring in his ears.
Hypnos smiled, "What else can you do to offend the God King?" โ
Adros said secretly, "This should be one of the hundred-armed giants guarding the portal to the Abyss of Tartarus. โ
The Hundred-Armed Giant was the child of Gaia and Ouranos, and there were three of them, named Briareus, Kotos, and Gugeth. They were all gigantic and ferocious monsters, even bigger than Titans and Cyclops.
Shortly after their birth, their father, Ouranos, saw that they were ugly monsters and disliked them, which led to their subsequent encounter. Ouranos tried to put them back into Gaia's womb, much to Gaia's pain and horror. This incident prompted Gaia to instigate Kronus to overthrow his father, Ouranos. Kronos was aided by the Hundred-Armed Giant, but later imprisoned the Hundred-armed Giant in Tartarus, where they were closely guarded by the dragon Campe. ๏ผ
At the suggestion of many goddesses, Zeus came to Tartarus and unleashed the three mighty hundred-armed giants, promising them freedom and glory so that they would be willing to serve Zeus. During battle, the Hundred-armed Giant was able to throw a hundred rocks as huge as a mountain at a time, making it impossible for the Titans to resist.
With the help of the hundred-armed giants, Zeus won the final victory. The last three hundred-armed giants defeated the dragon Campey and became the new guardians of the Tartarus Abyss.
After talking to the giant Gugeth, Hypnos said to Adros, "Go in, we can only send you here to help you get everything well." โ
Adros didn't say much, jumped into the abyss, and disappeared in front of them.
It was the first time that Gugus had seen such a refreshing experience, and in the past, whether it was a man or a god, when they came to the gate of this abyss, they were reluctant to give up, and many people even had to kick it down themselves.
"It's all to Tartarus to enjoy, what else can go well, look at his little arms and legs, I don't know how many years he can live. โ
As if reminding him of his previous tragic experience in Tartarus, Gugus couldn't help but feel a kinship, pulling the two brothers of the sleeping god of death and nagging constantly.
"Hey, at the beginning, our brothers didn't know what kind of wind to smoke, but they actually asked Zeus for such a priesthood, and there was no one to speak. It's a rare time for you to come and tell me more about how it's going out there. โ
Talatona, the god of death, had a grim face and didn't say a word, but the god of sleep, Hypnos, was interested in talking to Gugus.

While they were talking, Typhon, the Father of All Demons, took his wife and twelve children to the palace of Hades, the king of Hades. Looking at the empty palace, Typhon laughed loudly: "Hades is really cowardly, when he heard that I was coming, he actually fled with someone." โ
Cerberus flattered on the side: "Hades is the eldest brother of Zeus, even he does not dare to fight with your father, I think this god-king is none other than you." โ
"That's right, forget it if Hades runs away, I heard that he only has three or two big cats and kittens here, which is not interesting. Let's go to Poseidon, and I've heard that he has a lot of men, and children, and we're going to eat. โ
At Typhon's words, the monsters all nodded and laughed, excited about the upcoming feast.
They didn't know that at this time, at the gate of the abyss, not far from them, a giant and two gods listened to what they were saying.
"It's this monster who wants to rob Zeus of the throne. Gugus wondered.
"Yes, that's him. โ
"There's a good show to watch, I have to call my brother to change shifts, don't miss it. โ
