Chapter 243 Concubine of the Queen of Hades, suffer death!
A few days later, Hades, the limbo of Tarterus.
A rustling sound came from the dim Arima Crypt. The three-headed **** dog from outside heard the movement and immediately got up from the ground. Its three heads bared its teeth and growled at the dark cave.
“Hush, don't make a sound, it's me!”
However, upon hearing that familiar voice, the guard dog of Hades immediately restrained its ferocious expression, and happily rushed to the entrance of the cave, sticking out its tongue excitedly at a certain stowaway who came out.
“You're so good! Hey, I'll reward you, eat it.”
Successfully sneaking into the destination, Lorne reached out and took out the pre-prepared honey cakes and fairy delicacies from the magic circle, and threw them to Cerberus, who was looking at him eagerly.
The sweet fragrance hit his nostrils, and the three-headed **** dog, which had been completely corrupted by the delicacies of the world, immediately jumped up high, skillfully grabbed a few pieces of fallen honey cakes, squatted aside and ate them, completely forgetting his duty to guard the underworld.
Lorne moved the dog head in the middle of Cerberus while quietly asking for information about the underworld.
The three-headed hellhound enjoyed the feeding service and caressing of its "kind" while roaring in simple syllables and answering Lorne's various questions.
Soon, with the revelation of Cerberus, the inner ghost, Lorne will find out the general situation of Hades.
Since the excessively high-profile Sisyphus was caught and Thanatos, the **** of death, was found, the order of life and death in the human world and the underworld was restored to normal operation.
It's just that after the old man of death took office, in addition to detaining and extraditing souls as usual, he also had one more task.
—Supervise Sisyphus pushing the stone.
Originally, this job belonged to Hypnos, the **** of sleep, but something happened recently in [Dreamland], and he had to lead the three dream gods and the three thousand dream gods to return to Dreamland to defend;
Most of the souls who originally escaped from the Elysee Garden have been captured one after another. The order there is currently managed by Hecate, the goddess of the moon.
【Field of Truth】Everything is normal, and the three judges of Hades are still in charge;
But I don't know why, the atmosphere in [Tartarus Hell] seems to be a lot tense recently. Not only Thanatos, the God of Death, and the Three Furies are stationed there, but even Hades, the King of Hades, has personally dispatched.
The underworld mobilized so many troops and so many people, and Luo En had some vague guesses about the reason.
—Probably the old guys in Tartarus are restless again…
—If I remember correctly, when their group retreated from the Arima Crypt, they encountered the Demon Ancestor Typhon who showed signs of recovery, which was probably the beginning of unrest.
You must know that the Tartarus Hell where the Demon Ancestor is located is filled with a lot of Titans and gods and monsters who do not obey the order of Olympus. There are three of the twelve Titans alone...
If all the contents inside were released, it would definitely be enough for the gods of Olympus to drink from it.
Now, even Hades, a veteran otaku, is out of the nest. It seems that the veterans of [Tartarus Hell] are making quite a commotion down there.
Just let the powerful Hecate guard the [Elysée Garden]...
Isn't that place filled with a bunch of puppet-like souls? Is it that important?
Lorne suddenly thought that the obvious recovery of Typhon's head and the subsequent turmoil in [Tartarus] seemed to have happened after he made a big fuss in the [Elysée Garden], and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, thinking deeply in his heart.
It seems that [Elysée Garden] is not as simple as we have seen on the surface before, and there may be some relationship between it and [Tartarus].
The souls raised in that blissful land are probably not just there to serve as potted landscapes...
But due to the lack of sufficient information to support it, Lorne thought for a while and after finding no clue, he had to give up temporarily. He took out the scales of the snake mother Echidna and waved to Cerberus who was standing aside.
“Gouzi, lead me to the garden of the Queen of Hades, and try not to meet the patrol team in the process.”
“Woof woof!”
The three-headed **** dog that was full of food and drink immediately gave a loud reply, and then took a cheerful pace and ran wildly along the river Styx into the distance.
Lorn immediately disappeared, activated the power of [Goat], and quietly followed Cerberus.
Since the main forces of the underworld and most of the gods are concentrated in Tartarus and the Elysee Gardens to deal with the recent unrest, the guards in the remaining areas are quite empty.
Under the guidance of Cerberus, the treacherous dog, Lorne bypassed various protections and Hades sentries without any danger, and soon arrived at the lush garden in his memory.
“Okay, just take me here and you go back first.”
Lorne touched Cerberus's head, tied a package filled with honey cakes and fairy delicacies to his body, and then watched the three-headed **** dog reluctantly disappear into the underworld. In thick fog.
Even though he was revisiting his old place, he remembered that he left a lot of trouble for the Queen of the Underworld before leaving last time.
What the situation is now is unknown, so there is no need for Cerberus to take risks.
Simply restored the consumed divine power, and after replenishing his state, Lorne carefully walked through the lush garden and walked towards the inner courtyard in his memory.
Along the way, although the surrounding vegetation has some signs of decay and damage, it is still green and full of vitality on the whole.
Apparently, even if they were released privately, the Queen of Hades did not suffer any obvious punishment.
Lorne gradually felt relieved and walked through a bush to the pavilion where he remembered meeting Persephone for the first time.
Looking around, a familiar feeling suddenly came to my mind. The gurgling water twists and turns, the colorful fallen flowers are blown away by the wind, the greenery from life comes into view, and the fragrance of flowers and plants comes to the nostrils, making people feel relaxed and happy.
In the midst of the greenery, the Queen of Hades in the memory was standing on tiptoes, stretching out her hand to press down a golden branch.
“Lord Persephone…”
Hearing the call from behind, the graceful figure in the forest paused for a moment, then quickly reacted, turned to look at the visitor who made the sound, coughed lightly, and spoke lightly.
“Ahem, tell me, what do you want from me?”
Lorne was stunned when he heard this, then a humble smile broke out on his face and he bowed.
“It's about the Titans and Gods in Tartarus. The superiors encountered something and sent me to verify it face to face with you..."
Speaking, Lorne, the self-proclaimed messenger, walked forward.
“What? Tell me and listen…”
The Queen of the Underworld in the forest seemed to be interested, her eyes flickered, she let go of the golden branch in her hand, and stepped forward curiously.
However, the moment the two figures met, their expressions changed in unison, and they violently shook their fists.
"boom!"
Along with the dull crackling sound, strong winds rose in the forest, and branches and leaves fell.
[Messenger] and [Queen of Hades] looked at each other's fists colliding with each other, their faces turned dark.
How can such a thing be thought of together?
Soon, Lorne reacted and spoke to preemptively strike.
“Who are you? You pretend to be [Queen of the Underworld] and try to steal the golden branches from the garden!”
In fact, as soon as they met, the [Queen of Hades]'s reaction made Lorne suspicious.
He had already taken off his disguise and showed his true face. How could Persephone be so calm when she saw him coming back, and how could she look like she didn't recognize him?
So, after a little testing, he confirmed that the person in front of him was definitely not the Queen of Hades herself.
At this moment, hearing the accusation from the other side, [Queen of Hades] snorted disdainfully.
“Hmph, come on, you're not clean yourself! That woman Persephone just went to Tartarus to deal with the troubles underground. She doesn't even know this, and she still dares to bully me?”
As he spoke, [Queen of Hades] frowned as if she thought of something. She looked up and down at Lorne in front of her, and a hint of gloom gradually appeared in her eyes.
“Wait a minute, judging from your appearance and your virtue of coming here alone to go into the forest, you are not her concubine she kept outside, are you?!”
“You're so big!”
Lorne had a dark look on his face and was feeling very depressed.
In the past, he was always the one who poured dirty water on others. Why did he get poured into the water this time as soon as he entered the door?
“Okay, okay, the more intense your reaction is, the more correct my answer is!”
The [Queen of the Underworld] in the forest made a final decision with one hand. Her raised arm created a black arc in the air, like a sharp sword made of death energy.
“Suffer death, adulterer!”
Two hats were smashed down in succession, and the veins on Lorne's forehead were bulging, and his eyes became sinister. He immediately activated his power, reached out and clasped the white arm that was coming at lightning speed, and then grinned. Smiling ferociously, he rounded his arm and smashed it to the ground.
After all, he has nine divine incarnations. Not to mention walking sideways in the underworld, he needs at least an opponent at the level of the Twin Gods to dare to control him. Do you really think that a cat or a dog popping up from the corner can take care of him?
“Boom!”
In an instant, there was a dull explosion, and smoke and dust filled the forest.
And in the huge pit under Lorne's astonished gaze, the originally plump and tall [Queen of Hades] suddenly emerged from a large black mist, and in an instant she shrank to a height of about 1.6 meters, wearing a yellow hairband, and her figure was A barren, rebellious girl.
"You dare to hit me? Do you know that even Hades has never laid a hand on me! You are dead!"
Suffering such a heavy blow, the girl in the pit held back the tears in her eyes, gritted her teeth and uttered harsh words, while the dual divine power of life and death surged crazily in her body.
Gradually, her skin turned into half black and half white, and her body turned into black mist, breaking free from Lorne's shackles, and then appeared in the thick shadows with weird shapes and strange forms, sometimes clearly visible, sometimes Hazy, sometimes flickering in the darkness.
Looking at the scene in front of him, and feeling the two familiar smells on the girl, Lorne couldn't laugh or cry.
He finally knew who this was.
—Melinoe, the goddess of conspiracy, is a member of Hades in the legend of Orpheus (Bacchus). She is the biological daughter of Hades and Persephone.
And, in a sense...sister?
