Greek Mythology: I open a treasure chest at Olympus

Chapter 104: Lord of Death, the judge of all lives

The gloom of Hades did not hinder the sight of gods.

Hades stared at Apollo for a moment, maintaining a calm expression, and said: “Apollo, why didn’t you tell me you were coming to the underworld, so I could lead the gods of underworld to welcome you, the vice ruler of the divine court.”

Looking at Hecate beside him, Apollo laughed lightly and said, “The vice ruler of the divine court has the vice ruler of the underworld personally accompanying him, which is already a very high courtesy. How dare I let you greet him, Your Majesty.”

Hecate nervously lowered her head.

Apollo looked at Hades’ divine chariot and asked, “Where is the King of Underworld going? He didn’t call an attendant but drove himself?”

Seeing Apollo’s gaze fall on the chariot, Hade’s heart tight, kept calm and said: “Nothing, just want to go out alone, do not want to have other gods around.”

“So the King of Underworld is also a god with leisure, then in the future, can often go to my place to enjoy the muses of the song and dance,” Apollo smiled and averted his gaze.

Hades breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: “I still have some things to deal with. I’ll go to Elysian Paradise first, Hecate, stay with Apollo more.”

He said he was going to drive away.

Apollo suddenly thought of something and called out: “Your Majesty, you are back from Olympus?”

Hades stiffened, stopped the chariot, turned his head, and said, “Why do you ask?”

Apollo walked next to him and smiled: “I smelled the flowers in your chariot. This is only the smell of the foot of Olympus, where the flowers are cultivated by the Goddess Demeter and the lovely Persephone, the only one I remember well.”

“Why did you sneak up to Olympus, Hades? Did you have your eye on a certain goddess and want to take her back to the underworld as your wife while we’re not looking?”

Hade’s face suddenly tensed up, wanting to say something, but he did not know what to say.

Hecate laughed and said, “Apollo, don’t joke around with the keeper. If he likes a goddess, he can marry her directly. There’s no need to sneak around.”

“Well,” Apollo nodded, turned around, and walked back to Hecate, “You also told me that His Majesty is not interested in goddesses but only wants to build underworld.”

See Apollo finally walk back, Hade’s heart long relief, barely reveal a smile: “Hecate, you continue to take Apollo to visit the underworld, I first go.”

Said to drive the magic chariot and quickly went to Elysian Paradise.

Just then, a bright light burst from the back of his chariot.

Boom!

With a crisp explosion, the pitch-black divine chariot shattered and collapsed.

A graceful figure imprisoned by divine power flew out of it, and Apollo’s figure flashed and caught her firmly.

“Persephone!” Hecate was surprised to recognize the beautiful girl in Apollo’s arms and looked at Hades, whose face changed wildly in midair.

The King of Underworld dropped the blasted divine chariot, coldly standing in the sky, dark eyes gazing at the golden figure holding the beautiful maiden below.

“Apollo, how did you see that there were people hidden in my magical chariot, and when did you keep the divine power in my car and detonate it silently?”

At this, Apollo only smiled gently and looked gently at the young girl who had fallen out.

Persephone was staring at him with big eyes.

Her throat was hoarse to make a sound, but she was imprisoned by the divine power of Hades and could not do anything.

Apollo released a golden light, enveloping her shapely body.

“Brother Apollo, help me!” Persephone fiercely hugged Apollo’s shoulders and sobbed in fear.

Hecate looked a little unhappy, came over, and said: “Persephone, you do not hurry. Tell us exactly what happened.”

“What can happen? I saw her beauty and wanted to make her the most honored mistress of underworld.” Hades snatched the words.

He said he raised his divine weapon, double-tipped fork in his hand, and the profound divine power suddenly attacked Apollo, “Hand her over, or you will not leave underworld today!”

The moment he launched the attack, Apollo’s body suddenly emerged with infinite light, divine breath like a field of light, in the darkness to support a piece of heaven and earth.

Boom!

Sparks burst out, and the void shook.

Hades’ double-tipped fork, which was crafted by Hephaestus, the God of fire, and the most remarkable craftsman among the gods, struck the field of light with its harsh edge. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝑔

Blackness and brilliance intertwined, and death and light impacted.

The Lord of Underworld stumbled and fell back several steps, while the golden figure standing in the middle of the light was motionless.

“Brother Apollo, you’re amazing!”

Persephone said excitedly, her bright and clear eyes secretly looking at the serious and handsome cheeks above. Her face couldn’t help but blush.

Hecate noticed and pulled her down with her eyes.

Apollo laughed lightly and told Hecate to look after her, and his figure suddenly appeared in front of Hades.

The Lord of Underworld clenched his double-tipped forks, his dark eyes showed iron-like coldness and determination, and said solemnly: “Apollo, isn’t my identity worthy of your sister? I just put her first. Take her back to the underworld, and then go to Olympus to meet her mother and ask her to engage her with me.”

“Brother Apollo, don’t believe him. I don’t want to marry him. And he doesn’t want to marry me at all. He looks at me like a priest looks at sacrificed cattle and sheep!” Hecate looked after him, and Persephone shouted in the back.

Apollo’s golden eyes stared at Hades indifferently: “Listen, my sister doesn’t want to marry you, no matter what your purpose is; now I will take her out of the underworld.”

“Marriage or not is decided by her mother and father. What does she know as a little girl!”

Hades sneered, his body’s aura became more and more profound, as if brewing a powerful force, and the double-tipped fork in his hand kept trembling.

Steeply, he took a step forward.

Powerful momentum covered the whole hell at once. Many spirits and ghosts tremble, kneel and worship as if they encountered the supreme ruler.

Cold iron eyes once again locked on the golden figure. Hade’s ultimatum said: “Apollo, I know you are powerful and never wanted to be your enemy. The last time my two brothers tried to unite me against you, I simply refused.”

“We can become friends as long as you give her to me. After being able to become a Hades, this is definitely not a loss for her.”

“How come I didn’t see before that the King of Underworld, who has always been known for his behavior, is such a good talker.” Apollo laughed in a low voice.

The end of the laughter was cold.

In the light envelope, golden eyes abruptly burst into a flame-like blaze: “But who do you think you can fool with such a poor lie? I do not know what your purpose is, but the truth of the matter would not be so simple.”

Boom!

Apollo’s figure flashed suddenly, and a splendid divine force enveloped Elysian Paradise like a tidal wave.

“Stop!”

Hades’ face couldn’t help but change wildly.

Roaring, he rushed to the front of Elysian Paradise, and the vast divine power collapsed in mid-air to resist the envelope of light.

“Sure enough, this place is very important to you.” Apollo stared at him, and behind him, Elysian Paradise whirled once again, launching an attack.

The splendid power of light, like a blazing sun, slowly rose above the underworld, shining on this land that had been covered by darkness for a long time.

The many gods and souls of the underworld looked in amazement at the unprecedented light and warmth, and their faces could not help but be somewhat surprised.

At that moment, the infinite light was like a flood flowing, with irresistible momentum, roaring towards the Elysian Paradise behind Hades.

Feeling the endless light descending like a sky, Hades’ iron-cold face became more and more chilly.

Deep dark eyes stared deadly at the sky of light.

With a tone like death, he declared indifferently: “Apollo, I will make you understand how stupid it is to be my enemy!”

The black fork tines suddenly cut through the void, two tines, one representing the beauty of life, the other symbolizing the cruelty of death.

The body of the fork that was held was the authority belonging to the king, ruling over life and death, dominating all things.

Hade’s body slowly floated dark battle robe, set off his tall and majestic body, head wearing a helmet made of black iron, clustered with cold and thick brow horns.

Along with his will, the whole underworld trembled with the endless power of death, hurricane-like reverberating in the vastness of space.

“I am the master of death and judge all that is alive!”
