The land of the underworld.

The sky was as dark as night, and a scarlet moon shone faintly.

The underworld is surrounded by five rivers of the underworld, crisscrossing and distinct.

And at this moment, in the deepest part of the underworld, in a huge and somewhat unspeakable palace, a man with long gray hair was sitting on a solemn black throne, holding his chin and not knowing what he was thinking.

Blue flames danced in the menora, and rows of undead lined up through the huge plaza outside the palace, and occasionally a busy Tanatos could be seen flying around with a long-handled scythe.

The palace was quiet and silent, and no outsider had set foot in it for a long, long time.

The man sighed suddenly, and since the death of his three old fellows, it seemed that something called loneliness had taken root in his heart.

Although those three guys are stupid and lazy, and they are ugly, they don't seem to have anyone else to talk to.

The man sighed again, as if every year at this time, his sorrow flew far away.

"Hades, why are you sighing again?"

Behind the palace, a woman wearing a long green sleeveless dress suddenly appeared.

She showed her white arms, stepped on a pair of sandals that were also white, and her big eyes were like a newborn fawn, and she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but her long wheat-colored hair had been coiled into the shape of a woman.

"Persephone, you're leaving, I'm the only one left in this palace. ”

Hades stood up, his black robe falling to the ground as he got up, and he walked over to Persephone, Zeus's somewhat god-like face with a hint of reluctance.

"You, you say that every time. Persephone shook his head helplessly, and the golden crown shook with it.

Hades stretched out his palm, which was as white as Persephone's, and gently straightened her.

Every year when Persephone was to return to earth, Hades would always look like this.

Unlike his lustful brother, Hades has only loved one woman in his life, the woman in front of him who wears a crown.

Even if it was for her and the world, he would not hesitate to do it.

"But I'm really leaving, it's time for spring. Persephone didn't care about Hades's expression, maybe she was still very reluctant when she kept it once or twice, but now it's been hundreds of years, and she has long been immune.

"Wait a minute. Hades stretched out his right hand as he magically pulled out a white cloak from his wide left sleeve and draped it over Persephone.

"It's freezing and snowy outside, it must be cold, so it's warmer with it. ”

Persephone nodded helplessly, "I see." ”

Although she was not afraid of the cold at all, and had told Hades several times that she didn't need to, but every time Hades didn't listen, she got used to it over time.

Hades took a daffodil from his sleeve and handed it to Persephone.

"Honey, when you miss me, just look at it. ”

"Well, I will. Persephone looked down and sniffed the daffodils in his hand, a smile on his face.

"I'll send you to the entrance to the underworld, you know, I hate sunlight. Hades took Persephone by the hand and walked out of the palace.

In the square outside the palace was a magnificent four-horse carriage parked with a faint black glow. The four tall horses of pure blood stood quietly, not even daring to flick their tails.

This was originally Hades' car, but he was originally a quiet person and didn't go out and around often.

Since she later married Persephone, she just happened to go back and forth between the human world and the underworld, so she simply took her exclusive seat.

Hades and Persephone boarded the carriage, Hades pulled the reins and drove herself, while the Queen of Hades lay in a soft and comfortable carriage ready to catch up on her last sleep in the underworld this year.

Hades flicked the reins, and a cloud of blue flames rose from the soles of the four tall ponies, and then soared into the air, heading towards the entrance of the underworld at great speed.

The frame of the Immortal King drove through the sky, and the terrifying coercion crushed the earth, and all the creatures of the underworld fell to their knees and bowed to the black carriage.

The scarlet moon also restrained all its light, and did not dare to show off its glory.

From the square palace to the abyss of hell, from the abyss of hell to the river of the underworld, the frame of the Immortal King has passed through most of the underworld in half a day.

It is not to blame Hades's eagerness, because in his eyes Persephone can come back sooner if he goes back sooner.

The carriage crossed the Lut, then the Curipulugdon, and then the Ksetses River to the Styx River.

Hades wasn't going to stop, and although he had three points of respect for Styx, there was nothing more important in Hades' eyes than sending his wife out of the underworld.

While crossing the Styx River causes the average god to lose his divinity, Hades, as the Lord of the Underworld, is clearly not in the "average" category.

The black waves crashed silently against the riverbank, and Hades slowed down slightly, paying homage to the Styx River.

"Immortal, please wait a minute. Suddenly there was a huge wave on the surface of the river, and a large man with a beard suddenly jumped out of the bottom of the river.

"Huh, Zeroth?" Hades glanced at it, and it was this familiar guy.

"Ah, tall, handsome, wise and calm, you still remember you! It's so touching!" Zeros forced out two tears.

If it weren't for the Styx River, Hades would have been gone.

"What do you want to say?" Hades patiently asked Zeroth, suddenly feeling some movement in the carriage, and immediately added, "You wait first." ”

It turned out that Persephone, who was sleeping in the carriage, was woken up, she rubbed her eyes and straightened up, "Hades, are you here?"

"Not yet, dear. Hades looked back at Persephone tenderly, "If you're sleepy, go to sleep." ”

"Not very sleepy. Persephone put down his hand rubbing his eyes, yawned without an image, and found that Hades was still parked, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't you leave?"

"Zelos, the son of the Holy River, has stopped me and waited for me to send him away. ”

Hades turned around and shouted at Zeroth, "I'm busy, I'll talk about it next time if I don't have anything to do." ”

Hades waved the reins and was about to leave, Zelos was not a god of the underworld, and Hades would not have bothered to talk to him if it weren't for Styx's face.

"Wait, honorable Hades. Are you going to send the beautiful Queen of Hades out of the Underworld?" Zelos hurriedly asked when he saw that the Hades was leaving.

"That's right. ”

"Honorable Hades, since you are sending the beautiful Queen of Hades out of the Underworld, can you take me with you?" asked Zelos boldly.

Hadiston is furious, and he doesn't have any eyesight!

What is my status as the king of Hades, and you deserve to ride in the same carriage with me? What's more, your wife is in the carriage, and you dare to come up and get in the way?

As everyone knows, Zelos is also heartbeating at this time, which is not his original intention at all. If it weren't for the goddess Styx asking him to do this, he wouldn't have dared to disturb the Immortal with his guts.

Hades grimaced, "For Styx's sake, get out of here before I get angry!"

Well, failed. However, a hint of joy flashed in Zelos's heart, and he immediately prepared to slip away.

"Wait a minute, Hades, you can take him for a ride. ”

Persephone, who had been sitting in the carriage listening to them, suddenly whispered into Hades' ear.

Hades frowned and looked back at Persephone, "Honey, what are you doing here?"

"I'm going back to the surface soon, don't you want to stay with me? I'm going back to Olympus anyway, and I'm just on the same road with him. And ......," Persephone winked at Hades, "after all, he is the son of the goddess Styx, and it is good to sell favors." ”

Hades understood what his wife meant, and this was to win Styx's favor for him!

Just as Poseidon has opponents in the sea, Hades is not alone in the underworld, and even the forces of the underworld are more complex than the sea!

Not only are the two oldest gods, Erepos and Nix, living in the underworld for a long time, but there is also Tartarus, the god of hell who is not much different in strength than him, ready to move.

In the sea, Poseidon only needs to guard against one Okeanos, but in the underworld, Hades has to guard against three people!

The position of the Hades is not easy to sit!

As the fifth strongest person in the underworld, as long as he is willing to move closer to Hades, it is enough to deter many evildoers with different intentions.

After all, Tartarus is still under the control of Hades on the surface, and the only ones who are really wary are the couple Erepos and the Knicks and some of their children.

Seeing Hades' pensive look, Persephone was probably sure that he would not oppose his decision, so he poked his head out and said to Zeroth.

"Come here, God Zeroth. ”

As he was about to leave, Zeroth's face changed sharply.

Oops, could it be that the Queen of the Dead is angry?

"Hello, beautiful Queen of Hades. Zelos walked over tremblingly, a cold sweat already breaking out on his head.

"I can give you a ride, but in return, you're going to drive for me, would you like to?"

"Ah, of course, it's a great honor to serve both. "Zelos is overjoyed, although he may offend the Hades, but he is not under the control of the Hades, it is a big deal to hide in the future, and completing the task assigned by his mother is the most important thing for him.

Hades frowned, got up and went into the carriage to accompany Persephone, while Zelos went up to take his place.

The carriage continued past the Styx River and the Akron, known as the Sinking River, until it reached the entrance to the Underworld, and the irascible three-headed dog saw the frame of the Hades and immediately came up like a pug.

"I'm really leaving, Hades. Persephone looked at the sky outside that was getting brighter and brighter, and a trace of sorrow crossed her eyes.

Hades reached out and put his arm around Persephone's shoulder and said gently, "Don't worry, my dear. If anyone dares to bully you, come back and tell me at once, and the army of the underworld can raze any corner of the world for you. ”

Persephone laughed out loud, "Look at what you said, you see who dares to bully me, they are afraid that I will not be too late." ”

Hades smiled and stepped out of the carriage.

"I'm really leaving. Persephone poked her head out and looked at him with a smile.

"Well, let's go. Hades looked at Persephone tenderly, not at all like the feared Lord of the Underworld.

Zelos drove his car towards the entrance to the underworld, leaving Hades standing alone, the hill of Cerberus lying at his feet.

Persephone is gone.

Spring has arrived.
