Chapter 254 Hades' Invitation
The sharp edge pierced by the double forks suddenly stopped and stopped an inch in front of the target's forehead, breathing out a cold light.
So close to death, Lorne's back was almost soaked with cold sweat.
But at the critical moment, the other party's patience was extremely limited. He could not tolerate too much thinking, so he immediately seized the slightest opportunity and shouted solemnly.
"I am from the Queen of the Underworld. I was entrusted by her to help Melinoe escape from the control of the goddess Hecate, and I am responsible for leading the princess to escape from the underworld. Your Majesty, Hades, I'm afraid you can't kill me."
Having been called out, the expression on Hades's face did not change at all, and he just stretched out his hand coldly.
"evidence…"
"At this!"
Lorne quickly took out the Horn of Plenty from his arms. As the life artifact possessed by Persephone, there was nothing better than this thing to prove his close relationship with the Queen of the Underworld.
Perceiving the remaining divinity on it, Hades frowned slightly. The voice is deep.
“Where is my daughter?”
"She is in a very safe place now. No one should be able to find her except me."
Lorne replied in a deep voice, with a meaningful tone.
Hades heard the implication, his face could not help but become cold, and his eyes flickered sinisterly.
“Are you threatening me?”
“Not a threat, just a confession.”
Lorne spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.
"I'm standing here, the fish on your chopping board. You can kill me at any time if you want."
But then Lorne changed the subject and spoke with a smile.
"But if you kill me, things may not end so well. Not only will you lose your daughter, but you will also lose your beloved wife. After all, if something happens to Her Royal Highness the Princess because of you, I am afraid that the Queen of the Underworld will not be able to survive for the rest of her life." I won't forgive you."
After a brief silence, the double forks in Hades' palm disappeared and his arm dropped.
Phew, passed the test...
The shadow of death hanging over his head disappeared, and Lorne breathed a sigh of relief. He was extremely glad that he had saved a hand before setting off, and held Melinoe in the Arima Crypt for emergencies.
Otherwise, he might be torn into pieces by Hades now.
Even if Melinoe is present, it may not be able to stop Hades' intention to kill people and silence them.
Because, His Highness Pluto, like him, should not appear in the dream world in front of him at this moment!
Lorne sneered secretly while quietly sizing up the Lord of the Underworld with a gloomy expression.
The fact that Lao Deng is no longer living in his palace and suddenly appears in [Dreamland] may also be related to the "secret" held by Hecate.
What he wants to do, like Lorne, is probably to master the secrets of the dream world and no longer be controlled by Hecate.
After all, if you really have a choice, who would want to be a useless king? Can't even protect his daughter and wife?
Sir, I know there are no truly honest people in the God-King family!
At this moment, Lorne, who was cursing in his heart, finally understood why the Elysee Gardens was undefended. Why is the [Reality Door] to the dream world so wide open? Why are neither the Dream God Clan nor the God of Sleep himself present in the dream world?
Because, I was not the first one to come in, someone had done something in advance.
Obviously, Pluto also knew the news that the goddess Hecate was going out for a banquet, so he secretly mobilized the three thousand Mengxia gods and Hypnos, the **** of sleep, and sneaked in quietly. With Hades himself leading the way, it's no wonder the road is not smooth.
After Lorne complained about his lack of rigor, he saw that Hades's expression seemed to have improved, so he asked cautiously.
“Your Majesty, I would like to ask, have you not even found 'that thing'?”
Hades glanced at Lorne, a trace of disdain flashing in his dark eyes.
“Do you think what you see is all?”
As he said that, the Pluto summoned a double fork, pierced it into the ground, and turned it slightly. The divine characters engraved on the front and back of the blade lit up one by one. The purple-black light patterns were ripple-shaped, spreading rhythmically on the ground, and was buried deep. The spiritual veins in the abyss layer suddenly became active and boiling, and etheric light pillars spurted out from the magic arrays formed on the ground, penetrating the heaven and earth of the dream world.
Hum!
A ripple-like pattern of dark light centered on the artifact in Hades' hand and spread to all sides.
The ground beneath their feet melted, reflecting a "chasm" leading straight into darkness, showing the real underground abyss beneath this dream world.
Lorne looked down and gasped, his face slightly stagnant.
He finally understood the true scale of this dream world.
I saw thousands of wide corridors made of pitch-black volcanic rocks, arranged vertically and horizontally.
On both sides of the stone wall, a dark cave like an enlarged version of a shrine was dug out at regular intervals, and the exit was blocked by a light screen woven with divine inscriptions.
On the inside, figures that were either ferocious, mighty, gloomy, or solemn stood quietly, as if they were frozen sculptures, silent and dim, and some even half of them turned into nothingness, silent in the boundless darkness. Within the abyss.
Among them are defeated Titans, gods and monsters of various shapes, old gods that have fallen and disappeared, and ferocious monsters...
A rough estimate is that the number is at least tens of thousands!
Obviously, almost all of the battles between the old and new gods, the Battle of Typhon, and the old gods that disappeared after the replacement of the gods were buried here.
Hades pulled out the double fork, and the ground gradually returned to its original state, hiding the "secret" again.
The streets and houses that were previously affected by the battle between the two men were also restored. The residents of the dream world continued to enjoy their paradise-like life with cheerful smiles.
Everything seems like nothing happened.
Hades turned the double fork in his hand into virtual reality, glanced at the young man in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and spoke quietly.
“I will do what needs to be done, there is no need for her to touch things that she cannot control...”
Obviously, the Hades took Lorne's sneak in as the intention of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld.
Lorne nodded slightly and promised firmly.
“Okay, I will convey your wishes and your care for Her Royal Highness to the Queen of Hades.”
Speaking, he turned back and prepared to take the opportunity to escape.
Things have developed to this point and are far beyond my control. There is no point in staying any longer and it will only increase the risk.
However, just as Lorne took steps forward, a low, cold voice came from behind again.
“Wait, did I let you go?”
Lorne's expression changed and he subconsciously summoned the [Goat].
"boom!"
But the next moment, a familiar shock hit him from the back of his neck. Lorn's vision went dark, and his consciousness fell into boundless chaos.
