"So this Charon is also willing to suffer thousands of times in this river every day?" Hearing Styx's explanation, Adros became even more confused. What is supporting him to let a god What servant is here to endure this pain day after day
Styx shook his head. When she was in Hades, she didn't have a single friend and stayed at the Styx where she was in charge all day long. How could she care about so many things.
"I do know this." Hestia said lightly: "Although it is painful to cross the Arkron River, every time you pass it, you will get a weak divine power. If things go on like this, tens of millions of years later, He might be able to become a demigod. Hades once promised that as long as Charon could become a demigod, he would leave a godly position for him in his kingdom of God. Perhaps this is the support that allows Charon to become a demigod. Let him continue to endure this endless pain."
Day after day, endure thousands of years of endless pain, just for the glimmer of hope of becoming a god? After listening to Hestia's words, Adros took a deep look at this old man with a beard and unimpressive appearance. Then he ignored the strange looks of the three goddesses next to him and bowed to him. Without suffering and suffering, one cannot become a Buddha. Although this person is a mortal, he is the forerunner of his own path.
If this person were born in the Eastern world and obtained the Buddhist practice method, he would definitely become a great practitioner. It's just that in this world, there are no princes, princes, generals, or Xiang Ning. There are only endless generations of descendants passed down from father to son. In this world, without the blood and gifts of the gods, it is almost impossible to become a god.
Adros thought about himself, if there was no white jade vial in the space, where would he go? Would he be able to be a weak god in charge of the North Star under the protection of Artemis and Apollo
No, even if he didn't have this vial, he would still try his best to find a way forward and gain the power to be above the gods.
Although people are moving forward with the three goddesses, Adros's heart is rolling like a huge wave, constantly questioning himself whether he can be like the old man, pursuing a goal without any regrets.
Crossing the River of Pain is a vast gray plain called the Fields of Truth, which connects two roads leading to the Elysee, the place of happiness, and Tartarus, the place of pain.
Between the Elysee and Tartarus stands the palace of Hades. At the door of this black and solemn palace, Hades, the king of Hades with an indifferent and melancholy look, was standing at the door waiting for the arrival of the three goddesses. In his arms, he held a young goddess wearing a robe, with delicate and beautiful appearance, blond hair and blue eyes, but a sad and sad face.
Seeing Hestia and others coming over, Hades was expressionless and his expression remained unchanged. The young goddess in his arms struggled for a while, but was hugged tightly by Hades. She had no choice but to I could only cry and call my mother.
"Hades, let go of my daughter quickly." Demeter shouted quickly.
Hades didn't look at her, looked at Hestia, and sighed: "Sister, we finally meet again."
Adros looked at Hades and compared him with Poseidon in his mind. He was not as handsome as Poseidon, but he was also very charming, especially his melancholy eyes. Perhaps to some goddesses, he was more handsome than Poseidon. Dong's extremely aggressive eyes were even more lethal. Look at Persephone in his arms. She is very similar to Demeter. She does not have her sinful figure, but she is extremely pure. Just like the white lotus in the water, she is equally fascinating.
Hestia also looked at him: "Yes, we meet again. Tell me, how can you let Persephone go?"
"This is impossible. She and I have already held a wedding, and she has become my mistress of the underworld."
"You are really quick to strike. So, you have decided to fight me." Hestia looked at him coldly, her silver hair flying, and in the palm of her right hand, a red flame was burning. . Beside her, Demeter was also holding a scythe, staring covetously at Hades.
When Hades saw Hestia's actions, his eyes changed and became cold and stern: "I don't want to fight with you, eldest sister, but Persephone is my true love. Without her company, I can't stand in this empty place." There is no fun in the underworld. If you want to take her away, you will have to step on my corpse." After saying this, a double-pronged fork appeared in his hand. This was the Cyclops and the Titan during the Battle of the Titans. One of the three artifacts that the Fire Giants jointly built for them. The other two are, one is the lightning spear in the hand of the god king Zeus, and the other is the trident of the sea god Poseidon.
Hearing Hades' determination, not only Hestia but also Demeter hesitated. After all, her daughter was still alive, but she was forced to marry someone she didn't want to marry. And for this reason, do I really want to engage in a life-and-death duel with my younger brother
Even Persephone herself didn't know what to do at this time. She already knew the strength of Hades very well during her time in Hades. Aunt Hestia didn't know, but her mother Demeter was definitely no match. What if something happened if something happened to her? But if he doesn't take action, he will probably spend his whole life in this lonely underworld without seeing the light of day.
Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, but still hesitant, a childish voice came out.
"I think you are all a family. Why fight for life and death to take advantage of outsiders? We can discuss it. Why not let sister Persephone spend half of the year with Aunt Demeter and half of the time to rule in Hades? The gods of this underworld.”
It was Adros who spoke. If I remember correctly, they originally used this method to solve the problem of Persephone, but I don't know if they have experienced such a dispute. At this time, he proposed it in advance without losing anything. This kind of favor will not be sold unless it is sold.
Hades looked at the child in front of him and asked coldly: "Whose child are you from? Who asked you to interrupt?" For this child, he actually asked Persephone to leave him for half a year a year, and he didn't even have a day. If you can't bear it, you are really looking for death.
"What, this is my son, our Lord Pluto has any objections?" It was Styx who spoke. She knew well that Hades was dissatisfied with Zeus, so she referred to Adros as her own child.
Hades looked at the black hair and black eyes of Adros and Styx, and had no doubts. He did not dare to offend this crazy woman who was in charge of the oath. During the Battle of the Titans, she personally knocked her husband into the dust, and was finally thrown into the nearby Tartarus Abyss by Zeus.
Seeing that Hades stopped talking, Styx smiled sweetly again: "Don't say anything yet, I think the idea proposed by my son is good, you can consider it."
"Don't even think about it."
"impossible."
Hades and Demeter replied almost at the same time, while Hestia, who was holding the flame, fell into deep thought, and Persephone, who was held in Hades' arms, had a complicated expression, ranging from joy to sadness.
"Mother, just do what this child says. I still have at least half of my life to accompany you. Hades, I am willing to be your wife, but let me stay in this dark underworld every day. I will do No, I can only promise that half of the year will belong to you, and I can swear it to Aunt Styx." Styx is in charge of the power of oaths, and is binding on all oaths made by the gods.
"I don't agree." The harvest goddess Demeter was silent at this time and seemed to agree with this method, but Hades objected loudly and firmly disagreed.
"Then I would rather die, just so that you can trap my undead and stay with you in this damn underworld forever." Persephone saw that she had already made such a big concession, but Hades actually still If you object, you can't help but curse.
Hearing Persephone's decisive voice and seeing Hestia with red flames glowing in her palms, Hades understood that perhaps this was the best ending.
"Well, since you insist on doing this, let's do it." After saying that, he let go of Persephone in his arms.
The freed Persephone immediately threw herself into Demeter's arms, and the mother and daughter hugged each other, crying and laughing.
Seeing Persephone so excited, Hades couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He could get her body, but he couldn't get her feelings. Then, he shook his head again. Since he couldn't get feelings, he couldn't lose her body.
"Sister, can you do me a favor?" Hades asked Hestia, who was also looking at Demeter and her daughter crying.
Hestia glanced at him expressionlessly, then nodded slightly.
Hades thanked him, and then said to the three goddesses: "If you don't dislike the shabby appearance, why not come to my underworld for a while." Then he said to Hestia: "I will go in and talk to the eldest sister in detail. ."
······
Adros went to the palace of Poseidon, king of the sea. It was magnificent and filled with gold, silver and jewels. At this time, he came to Hades' residence, which was also majestic, but different from the Sea Palace, Hades was more solemn than gorgeous. This may be the difference between Hades, the king of Hades, and Poseidon, the king of the sea. He values majesty more than appearance. Compared with Poseidon, who loves to enjoy, he pays more attention to the power in his hands.
Entering the hall, Hestia frowned slightly when she saw the all-gray decorations around her. As soon as she sat down, she said to Hades: "Tell me, what's the matter that requires you, Lord Pluto, to speak to me?" ?" She knew very well the character of her eldest brother. He always had to do everything himself. If it was not something extremely important, he would never ask for help unless he had to ask for help. This is completely different from the younger brother Zeus who lives on Mount Olympus. He prefers to be lazy and let others do the work.
