While tension fermented within the palace on the ocean, beneath the earth, within the Underworld,
Pale purple moonlight illuminated the gray soil; nothing from the Mortal Realm could affect this place.
Almost at the very moment when Hera wielded Thunder against the Sheepskin Shield, a Silver Serpent flashed across the gates of the Underworld.
Eternal Night and Darkness shrouded the sides while the River of Sorrow surged with waves.
Due to the unique spatial rules of the Underworld, no matter where one descended from the earth, they would land at the same entrance. Thus, Hades had built a portal to separate the Mortal Realm from the Underworld.
At this moment, no living creatures were present before the towering gate, only a human man with pale skin, clad in black armor, stood leaning on a sword. Beside him, souls rose and fell with the flow of the Styx River.
Of course, saying he was human was merely based on appearance.
