Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Triumvirate of the Underworld
"All the gods you have in your hands now are the heirs of the goddess of the night, Nyx, even if they are respectful to you on the surface, but who knows if they really support you?"
Zeus ignored Hades' anger and tore open his scars without hesitation.
Hades calmed down, Zeus was not a character who liked to derive pleasure from mocking others, and his nonsense was never said only to women.
"You're quite right. ”
Hades paced slowly and spoke, "Since leaving Mount Olympus to take charge of the underworld, I have been under tremendous pressure. Erepos in the Underworld, Tartarus in Hell, I have nothing to fear, but Niks, the goddess of the night, keeps me awake. ”
Zeus said, "Because she is ancient, powerful, and unfettered, let alone you, even I don't want to provoke her." ”
Zeus looked at Hades, "And again, all your shalves are the heirs of Nikos." Who knows if this is your Hades' or her Nyx's?"
"Who is to blame for this scene?"
Hades walked up to Zeus and looked at him without fear, "Thanks to your good son, Apollo with a silver bow!
"You don't have to be angry, Hades. I have also punished Apollo by making him a mortal and serving seven years of hard labor on earth. ”
"What's the use of you talking about this now, can my old fellows come back from the dead?"
Zeus said: "Hades, I came here today specifically for your business. ”
Hades sneered with a hint of mockery: "Come for me, I can't imagine that our God King His Majesty has been able to return the deceased gods to the world, it's really amazing!"
A hint of unhappiness finally flashed in Zeus's eyes, but he still did not have a seizure, but continued to smile and speak.
"I can't do that, but since Apollo killed three of your squires, then I can pay you back. ”
Hades coldly refused, "No need! Hmph, you gods of Mount Olympus are all arrogant, and I, Hades, can't control it!"
Zeus had long expected Hades to say this, after all, it was not a matter of a day or two that he hated the gods.
"Since you don't want gods, what about humans?"
"Humans?"
"Not bad. ”
Seeing that Hades was interested, Zeus no longer beat around the bush, but said generously: "I have a son in the world, and now he will come to the end of his life, and I can't make him a god in the heavenly realm, so I hope that when he comes to Hades, you can confer on him the priesthood." ”
"Why can't he become a god in the heavenly realm? ”
Zeus said: "Hades, Hercules is different from others, he is born from the prophecy of Themis, the blade used to deal with the monster wonder Tess race, and the strong shield to guard Olympus......"
"After all, you can still do it, you just don't want to do it, are you afraid of arguing with Hera or don't want to spend your divine power?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed in the depths of Zeus's eyes, in fact, for him, anyone who wants to become a god can do it, but the price is too great.
The world is not peaceful, and he will never waste his strength until he has fully reached the top and looked down on the gods.
Zeus cleared his throat and defended himself: "Hades, this has nothing to do with your speculation, this is order!"
"And what about Hercules?"
"That's fate!"
Hades stopped talking, and Zeus always had a way to excuse himself.
There was silence in the hall for a while, and Zeus spoke, "Let's get back to the original topic, Hades. My departed son, Radamantis, is serious, just, and capable, and if you are willing to agree to confer upon him, he will be your closest right-hand man, far more than Nix's heir. ”
Even though he was ten thousand dissatisfied with Zeus, Hades had to compromise. Because the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for him, Hades now needs manpower to weaken the Knicks' influence in the Underworld.
"I can promise you, Zeus. But you promised me three squires, where are the other two?"
Zeuston was overjoyed when he saw Hades agree, and all the unhappiness in his heart just now disappeared, and even his long silver-white beard shook happily.
"Hades, of all my sons, there are three who are the oldest, the most capable, and at the same time the most beloved by me. I can assure you that each and every one of them is very capable and able to help you with your worries. ”
"The first one is the Radamantis I just mentioned.
The second was Minos, the younger brother of Radamantis.
The third is my son with Aekina, Aeakos. ”
Zeus paused and glanced at Hades, "The three people I'm talking about, I think you've heard of them, should be able to satisfy you." ”
Hades nodded slightly, the brothers Radamantis and Minos had both been kings of Crete, and the turmoil caused by Aeakos before his birth spread throughout the underworld, and everyone he had heard of it.
"As you say, Zeus, I agree with you. ”
Zeus had a sincere smile on his face, but instead of leaving immediately, he continued, "I don't know what kind of priesthood you will promise them, Hades, I am curious. ”
Hades paced slowly, "What position do you want? ”
As soon as His Majesty the God King said these four words, Zeus knew that Hades had withdrawn from the state of wanting to talk to him, but he pretended to be unconscious and continued: "I don't care what kind of priesthood it is, but the status of my Zeus's heir must not be lower than that of Nix's heir. ”
Hadiston burst out laughing, this was still the Zeus he knew.
"I will make these three judges of the underworld, above the god of death and the god of sleep!
Zeus smiled slightly, "Of course, I just don't know that His Highness Hades is not satisfied?"
After Zeus finished speaking, he didn't wait for Hades to answer, and immediately turned into a ray of thunder and left the underworld.
Hades slowly walked back to his throne and sat down.
In fact, he is also satisfied, although the quantity of three to four is insufficient, but the quality can make up for it, which is not bad.
......
A thunderbolt pierced through the dense fog of the underworld like a sharp sword, and instantly returned to the human world.
Zeus returned to Peotia, and the gray-haired Radamantis was lying in bed waiting for his arrival.
"Father!"
The moment he saw Zeus, Radamantis sat up strongly.
Zeus said solemnly, "Radamantis, listen to me......"
