Styx's domineering declaration didn't put her worries at ease, but she knew there was no other way. The passage to the underworld could only be opened for twelve hours, and Stix could maintain it for her for an hour or even two more hours, but it was impossible to maintain it for twelve hours. She didn't have time for Achilles to soak in the river again.

Su Muran stayed in the water and didn't speak, originally he thought that the problem of the heel should be easily solved, but he didn't expect that the great god of Mother Thetis and Styx was helpless.

For a moment, all three fell silent.

It feels really powerless to have to think of something about it, knowing what is going to happen but not being able to change it.

After a long time, Stix spoke: "Titis, it's not like there's no other way. ”

"What is it?" said Thetis in surprise. Su Muran also pricked up his ears and sounded.

"Just let Achilles come again later. ”

Thetis was stunned for a moment, then shook her head bitterly: "Aunt Styx, the underworld passage can only be used once, you know this. And it's not something that can be opened at random, and this time it's thanks to your help that Achilles and I have the opportunity to get here. ”

Stix nodded expressionlessly: "And since Hades, the king of Hades, almost fell out with the gods of Mount Olympus for the sake of the queen of the underworld, he has deliberately weakened the connection between the underworld and the human world, and most of the underworld passages that have been discovered now have been repaired by his group of men." It's almost impossible to get here again through the Underworld Passage, but there's another way......"

Styx looked at Thetis's wistful gaze and continued, "Let the god who has the ability to come to the underworld bring Achilles to me. ”

Thetis's gaze immediately darkened. Hades, the king of Hades, did not welcome the gods to visit the underworld at will, and he had the murderous three-headed dog Cerberus guard the entrance to the underworld to intimidate all mortals and gods who dared to enter the underworld, and even Hermes, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, could not force his way into the underworld.

"Aunt Styx, due to the attitude of Hades, the king of Hades, not many gods have the ability to enter the underworld, and even if they do, most of them are reluctant to come. ”

Thetis reluctantly said that this is indeed true. Gods who have the ability to come to the underworld, such as her brother-in-law, Poseidon, the Sea Emperor, would never want to come. And those ancient gods who have the ability to come and go freely in the underworld and the human world, such as Nyx, the goddess of the night, one of the five great creation gods, she can't even invite them to move, and it is extremely difficult to even meet them.

A meaningful smile appeared on Styx's cold face: "You forgot that there is another god who can enter and leave the palace of Hades and the halls of Mount Olympus at will, and Charon, the ferryman on the Akron River, does not dare to ask her for the fare, and Cerberus will wag his tail and beg for mercy when he sees her." ”

Who is so powerful? Hearing what Stix said, Su Muran, who was immersed in the water, was also a little puzzled.

However, Thetis immediately came to her senses. "You mean, Goddess of Spring?"

"Yes, Thetis. ”

It turned out to be her! Su Muran also immediately understood.

Persephone, the goddess of spring, the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of harvest, and Zeus, the god-king. This status may not be worth mentioning among the gods, but her other identity is enough for every god, including the twelve main gods of Olympus, to maintain the respect they deserve for her.

Persephone, Queen of Hades!

She is the woman who made Hades fall in love at first sight, even at the expense of being the enemy of Olympus!

But the Hades King obviously has a bad taste, robbing his niece as his wife, Su Muran thought secretly. No wonder the underworld almost turned against Olympus at first.

"But Auntie, I have only met once at my wedding, and I am not familiar with her. Thetis said with a little embarrassment.

"Don't worry, Thetis, I have a solution. Stix was back to her usual coldness. "When the King of Hades kidnapped Persephone to go with him to the underworld, he made a vow in my name that he would send her back to earth. Later, Persephone missed his mother Demeter and wanted to return to the earth, but Hades deliberately repented, and finally agreed to Persephone to leave the underworld because he did not want to break the right oath to me. If you can find her to intercede, for my sake, she will definitely agree. ”

There's a hint of blood on Thetis's pale face, but she soon becomes distressed again. Although the goddess of spring spends two-thirds of the year in the world, this does not mean that you can easily meet her.

"Don't feel too embarrassed, Thetis. Although Persephone was hard to meet, she returned to the earth every spring and the underworld in late autumn, and could always see her whenever she had a heart. Styx's face turned three points colder as he said this. "You're worried about the gods of Olympus. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Thetis really didn't know what connection her son had to with the gods.

"Do you know Asclepius?"

Asclepius, forgive him for being so ignorant, Su Muran couldn't remember who it was after searching around his head.

Thetis was also visibly at a loss.

Styx glanced at a confused Thetis and spoke again, feeling like she had said more today than in the last thousand years combined.

"Axxpius, the son of Apollo, discovered the secret of immortality to mankind, so Zeus killed him. ”

Apollo is the son of Zeus, and Asclepius is the son of Apollo, so Zeus killed his own grandson?!

Although staying in the river, Su Muran only felt cold sweat all over his body, and said that the heavenly family was ruthless, and it turned out that these gods were not far behind. Thankfully, he could be sure that Thetis loved him, otherwise he would have to consider whether he should run away from home.

"But, Aunt Styx, what does this have to do with my Achilles?"

Styx's tone was as cold as ice, "Zeus didn't want mortals to gain the eternal life that only gods can have, and he even did not hesitate to kill his grandson with thunder for this reason. If Achilles had acquired the divine body, what do you think Zeus would have done to him?"

"What?" Stix's words smashed into Thetis's heart like a boulder, causing a huge wave to stir up in her heart.

Yes, Zeus treated his grandson so ruthlessly, not to mention that Achilles was only his great-grandson. If Zeus is determined to kill anyone, there are few people in this world who can stop him, at least he can't stop it.

Thetis was in a state of turmoil, and she really didn't know how to deal with it.

"Now it seems that it is a good thing that Achilles did not obtain a complete divine body, and the top priority is how to deal with the hidden danger of Zeus, otherwise you should know very well what will happen. ”

Thetis nodded reluctantly, her emotional ups and downs today were too great, and the corrosion of the river on her strength made her body a little unbearable.

Just when Theses wanted to ask Styx how long it would take for his baptism to end, it was not a delusion, she always felt that the sky was suddenly darker.

Before she could speak, Styx's iceberg-like expression suddenly became much more ugly. She glanced at Thetis, and said, "The passage of the underworld has begun to close, and the baptism of Achilles should also end." ”

As soon as the words fell, Su Muran's body, which was soaked in the dark river water, suddenly lit up with a layer of golden light, except for the heel held by Titis, the rest of his body was shrouded in golden light, and he looked like a little golden man at a glance.

Styx motioned for Theses to let go of her hand. Thetis let go of Su Muran's heels, walked out of the river with some difficulty, and sat on the river bank to watch Su Muran's changes.

To be honest, Su Muran is really confused now, although he now looks golden and handsome, just like a young version of Gilgamesh, but the strange thing is that he doesn't feel anything now. He didn't feel very comfortable, he didn't feel very uncomfortable, and he even had a little suspicion that the golden light on his body was fake!

"Now that Achilles has completed his baptism, it's time for me to fulfill my promise. Stix watched the golden light on Su Muran's body gradually retract into his body, and a faint smile appeared in his mouth.

Stix stretched out his hand, and two white rays of light suddenly shot out from the dim clouds, cutting through the gloomy sky like two bolts of lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Su Muran.

"This is the feather of an ancient harpy, and her name is Podalle, which means Swift Footer. Her feathers have magical powers that can make people agile and fast, this is my gift to you, take it. ”

"Thank you for the gift, Goddess Styx. Su Muran hurriedly reached out and grabbed the two feathers, and then showed a big smile at Styx. How can you not accept gifts? Mom said, if you have a bargain, you don't take advantage of it.

Stix smiled at Su Muran, she also felt strange, I don't know why, she would be in a good mood when she saw the little guy in front of her.

"Thank you, Aunt Styx. Thetis stepped forward and took Su Muran's hand and thanked Styx again.

The cold look on Styx's face was not aimed at Thetis, but it was her norm, and it was difficult to make an exception for anyone.

"Now that your affairs are over, let's leave quickly, there is also a lot of pressure on me to maintain the passage of the underworld. Stix said with a cold face.

"Thank you, Aunt Styx, and we'll be right away. Thetis hurriedly pulled Su Muran and was about to leave.

Styx frowned at Thetis's pale and frail face, and said, "Wait, I'll have someone send you." ”
