Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Kidnapped Grim Reaper and the Sleeping God
The gods of Olympus began to discuss the constellations of the Zhou sky, and each of the gods' subordinates had suitable candidates, and no one was willing to let go of this opportunity. Even Hades, the king of Hades, who had lived in the underworld for a long time, immediately rushed to Mount Olympus after getting the news, wanting to get a piece of this feast.
But the eighty-seven constellations seem to be a lot, and if you really want to divide them, each god can't divide them. The three kings, led by Zeus, undoubtedly wanted to put as many places as possible under their names, but how could the other gods agree?
These gods, either of whom are of the gods or have children in the world, are very trusted and valued by the gods, and they all hope that they will become gods with true priesthood.
So, on Mount Olympus, a months-long quarrel began. After arguing with the feast, arguing after the feast, maybe this is the style of the Olympian gods.
Until the son of Zeus, Aeacus, who he sent to the underworld as a judge, ascended to Olympus and told them a shocking news, they had not yet come to a final conclusion.
Aeacus was the son of Zeus and the river goddess Aecina, the father of Peleus and Theramon, and the grandfather of Achilles. Before he was born, due to the calculations of the god queen Hera, his mother, the river goddess Aeina, took the poison that Hera had prepared with the sands of the Styx, causing him to lose his divinity and become a demigod.
That is, before he was born, his maternal grandfather, the old river god Asopus, had issued an extremely vicious curse on the god king Zeus at the cost of his life. Zeus, the angry god king, chopped the old river god to pieces at that time, and there is still that huge pit in the city of Thebais.
When Aax was on earth, he was known for his justice, and Zeus consulted with Hades, the king of Hades, and made him the first judge of the underworld. Under his judgment, the guilty will be punished in hell according to their crimes, and those who are innocent will be able to live happily in the beautiful and peaceful Elysée Paradise. It's a lot of work, but Ajax enjoys it.
But for months, Ajax felt as if his work was gone, and for months in a row, not a single dead man had come to the underworld to be judged by him.
Puzzled, Ajax ran to the world to check, and found that in the past few months, there has not been a single dead person in the world.
Sensing that something was wrong, Aax hurriedly went to find Taratona, the god of death in the underworld, to find answers from him.
But he searched all over the world and the underworld, but he couldn't find this powerful god of death, and even the twin brother of the god of death, the god of sleep, Hypnos, was also missing.
In desperation, Éaks, the judge of human souls, went to report the matter to Hades, the king of Hades. But in Hades, only Persephone Styx was there, and Hades had come to Olympus. The Queen of the Dead had no interest in this situation in the human world or the whereabouts of the Sleeping God of Death, so she waved him away.
Eventually, Ajax called Olympus to report the news to the gods.
The gods were tired of arguing and wanted to rest for a while, so they helped Hades, the king of Hades, to find the whereabouts of his two earliest and most faithful younger brothers.
Finally, there was Zeus, the queen of the gods, who used the crystal of her artifact to shine on the remote city of Corinth, a kingdom where no gods were sacrificed. In that kingdom, all the inhabitants sacrificed only two people, the dead prophet Iathion and the living king of Corinth, Sisyphus.
······
The palace of Corinth was designed and built by Sisyphus himself, but not long ago, the genius hero who was famous before the birth of the new human race renovated his palace.
The layout of the palace has changed drastically, especially the palace in the middle, which he has created a strange shape. The palace has a triangular foundation, which then narrows higher and narrower to the top, and at the top, it becomes a sharp cone.
This tall stone building gives people a solemn feeling when they look at it, as if this is not a palace for the living, but a burial chamber for the dead.
After the building was built, Sisyphus ordered that all dying people in the vicinity be moved to the building. Sisyphus, regardless of whether they agreed or not, only told them that this might be their burial chamber, or maybe it would be their escape from the underworld.
Sisyphus resumed his daily work, and after inspecting the spired pediment for a week, he opened the door and entered.
After hearing that his teacher, the prophet Iathion, had been beheaded by Olympus, Sisyphus was devastated. But he did not lose his fighting spirit, he turned his grief into strength, he decided to do something, and then even if he died, he admitted it.
He sent all his people out in search of an old shepherd with a goatee, and in his opinion, the teacher was dead, and perhaps the only one who could help him take revenge on the gods was the old man.
The old man named Geb had only met him once, but Iathion had told him that it might be a god who had broken through the realm of the main god. Even the three kings of Olympus cannot be compared with him.
It didn't take long for the old man to be found by him. Perhaps hearing that Sisyphus was looking for him, Geb drove his goats and went straight to Corinth.
Hearing that Sisyphus was going to do something for his dead teacher, Gabe smiled strangely and didn't say much, just asked Sisyphus what he was going to do.
Then, under Geb's guidance, a strange structure was born, which was very different from all the palaces of the Kaos gods.
After the birth of this building, Gebu did not stay long and left directly. He acted in a slight haste, as if he was in a hurry to leave.
Sisyphus didn't care too much, after this thing was done, he didn't know how long he would live, and Gaibu's affairs, he didn't want to pay too much attention to, and it wasn't something he could pay attention to.
Walking into this minaret, the aura of death greets you, making it feel eerie and terrifying. But Sisyphus had a smile on his face, and at his feet were some rotting bones, lying in all directions.
Sisyphus didn't look much at the bones, which were the dying corpses he had driven in. He didn't kill him, but he chose this particular cemetery for the dead.
Strange to say, despite the bones all over the place, there was no smell of corpses in this building.
Sisyphus went further and found something different, for the ghosts he had been able to encounter from time to time had not met this time. And the road under his feet was slightly trembling.
As he walked on, the sensation became more and more pronounced, and when he walked through the passage and came to the empty main hall, or the main burial chamber, he finally discovered the source of the tremor.
In the middle of the triangular foundation was a huge stone platform, on which there were a few people who were still breathing, and a dozen people who had died. Whether they are dead or not, their identities are the same, they were once famous legendary warriors in the human world.
In the middle of the stone platform, there are a pair of twins, a pair of the most famous twins in heaven and earth, the god of death Taratona and the god of sleep Hypnos. These two gods can be said to have been kidnapped here by Sisyphus.
