Chapter 154: At the bottom of Pingdasi Mountain

A charred scar stretches from the center of Keron's eyebrows to the left corner of his mouth.

It looks like it was scratched by some sharp weapon, and judging from the wound, it should have been a long time.

"Boy, why are you looking at me like that?"

"No, it's fine. ”

Achilles swallowed a mouthful of saliva, wanting to ask what was going on with Charon, but he was afraid of violating his taboo, so he had to lower his head and clean himself up first.

"It's just a scar. Charon reached out and touched the scar on his face, smiling self-deprecatingly, "This is a mark of glory." ”

Charon wasn't lying, and although the scar was ugly, it was a glorious mark for Charon himself.

Ferulla, the mother of Keron, turned into a linden tree after giving birth to him, and Kronus, the father of Keron and the former god-king, transplanted the tree to the island of Crete.

Years later, when he grew up, Caron wanted to return to Crete to meet his mother.

By this time, however, Mount Olympus had changed hands, and his half-brother Zeus had ascended to the throne of the gods, who had long since decreed that the gods should not be allowed to trespass on Crete.

And Charon was not a god, so he used this as an excuse to run away to Crete.

Charon was strong, even stronger than many gods, his parents were gods, and he also had the ability to live forever that only gods have, but he was not a god.

This is a very strange thing, and even Charon himself does not understand why.

The fact that Caron went to Crete was later learned by Zeus, who was furious and descended on the land of Achaea himself.

It is said that on that day a long, long time ago, the sky was thundering, countless thunderbolts struck the sea, and countless terrible sea beasts turned white bellies on the surface of the sea. And on land, some landmasses sank into bays, and some peaks were razed to the ground.

Soon after, Karon came to Mount Pondath and never left.

And this scar on Charon's face has been left since then.

Alas, let all the glory pass, even if you yourself were once the one who could fight the god-king.

Charon picked up a handful of golden spring water and slapped it on his face, smashing a handful of golden splashes.

"Boy, you're feeling weird about today, aren't you?"

"Yes, teacher. ”

"Then I'll explain it to you, just in time for this to happen today. ”

Hearing Charon say this, Achilles immediately pricked up his ears to listen.

"There's something called God's Paradise, of course, that's what mortals call it, you know?"

"I seem to be a little impressed. ”

Achilles nodded, he really knew a little bit about this.

Once on the island of Egina, Aeakos told him something.

It is said that in the land of Achaia, there are places where the dwellings of the gods are hidden, and these places are known after the return of mortals who are lucky enough to enter once.

According to them, the paradise of the gods is full of exotic flowers and plants, many fairies and even goddesses with white arms and silver feet sing and dance day and night, and the muses from Mount Olympus often linger here.

The most famous paradise of the gods in the land of Achaea is called Arcadia, which is said to be the abode of Artemis, the goddess of the moon.

There is also a place in the land of Achaea called Arcadia, which is the home of Atalante, a friend of Peleus's friend and the famous heroine, and the legendary Arcadia Paradise is said to be somewhere here.

"The Paradise of the Gods, or the Divine Realm as it is called in the mouth of the gods, is actually a strange space that is different from the land of Achaia. And generally, the realm of gods is built by gods, just as Kaos, the god of chaos, created the world. ”

Caron paused for a moment, and then continued: "If you use an analogy, the Divine Domain can be called a small world, of course, there is a big gap between them. ”

Achilles nodded, since the chaos god Kaos can create the world, then of course other gods can also, but the difference is that the king builds a palace and the poor build a thatched house.

"And our Pingda Si Mountain, I mean the space we are in now is actually a divine domain. ”

"And did you build it here?" Achilles was more interested in this one.

Kajon shook his head, "I'm not a god, and I don't have the ability to build a god's domain. ”

"And who built it?"

In fact, as soon as Charon said this just now, Achilles had a hunch that Mount Pindasi might also be in a divine domain.

Although there are no fairies and goddesses, and there are no frequent muses, when it comes to the strange and strange, Achilles feels that this place is no worse than those legendary gods.

The only surprise was that Achilles thought that this place was built by Charon, but he didn't expect Charon to deny it.

"I can't tell you about the owner here, all I can say is that it's really not me. ”

"Teacher, what about the beast's roar from before?"

"Don't rush, listen to me slowly. ”

Charon lowered his head, as if thinking about something, and after a while, he looked up and said, "Achilles, when I was young, I once made a bet with someone, and I lost. So he asked me to do one thing for him, which was to guard a monster for him in this Pingdath Mountain...... No, not one, but a group. ”

Charon stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground, "Do you know what's going on underground?"

Of course, Achilles didn't know, and Charon wasn't ready to really listen to him.

"From this underground, there is the most terrible prison in the underworld, Tartarus!"

Achilleston was taken aback.

Tartarus, also known as Hell, is a place where Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, and many of the former Titan gods were imprisoned.

The Inferno of Tartarus was incarnated by the original god Tartarus and is now controlled by Hades, the king of Hades.

In fact, a god like Tartarus who incarnates into some kind of physical object seems to be stuck in some kind of rule, and often loses much in power.

Just as the god of darkness, Erepos, almost disappeared after incarnating in the underworld, the god of the sky, Ouranos, was incarnated into the sky after being plotted by his son Kronos, leaving only a prophecy and never showing miracles again.

This is most common in the first or second generation of gods, and occasionally in later generations of gods.

Gaia, the mother of the earth, Pontus, the ancient god of the sea, Hyperion, the god of the sky, and Styx, the goddess of the Styx, to name a few.

The list goes on.

This is why Typhon is the son of Tartarus, yet he is imprisoned in Tartarus' Hell Itself, and Tartarus is powerless to do anything about it.

Of the five primordial gods, only Nyx, the goddess of the night, did not fall into this rule, because she was not incarnated as the night, but as the incarnation of the night.
