I Will Eventually Embark on the Path of No Return Called a Hero - 63. Hades, the Ruler of Underworld
---
Under Cerberus's deliberate ignorance, Cyd filled a water bag full of Cerberus's saliva, and in order to distinguish it from other normal water, Cyd also pulled two pinch Cerberus' hair and curled it around two water sacs containing Cerberus blood and saliva.
"Great harvest~" Cyd smiled and stuffed the two water bladders into the package.
"Come on," Cerberus pressed Cyd's back.
"See you later," Cyd patted Cerberus behind his head and pulled Medusa into the door of Netherworld, which opened at some point.
"As expected of a human being valued by Hades-sama," Cerberus dazedly climbed to the position where he slapped the honey cake, stuck out his tongue and licked the gravel, "Well, it still tastes good."
lick, lick, lick...
After stepping into the gate of Netherworld, a gloomy wind asserts the senses, and Cyd subconsciously reaches out to block it. "It doesn't look like you can stay too long."
"It is better to spend less time in the Netherworld since you're not a demigod," Medusa tugged at Cyd's sleeve, "Don't talk to the residents here, it's better not to even look at each other, otherwise…"
"You said..." Cyd pointed to the pale-skinned crowd in front of him, "It's a bit late."
"The breath of the living attracts the dead," Medusa frowned, the huge scythe falling from her black robe and hitting the ground.
She has already made plans to kill and make a bloody path.
"Don't worry, they don't look malicious," Cyd put his hand on Medusa's head.
As he said, the crowd split a straight path after a commotion for a while, as if someone was guiding them, but the eyes of this group of people were too indifferent, The indifference makes the scalp tingle.
"Let's go," Cyd took Medusa's hand and walked into the dead man with a calm expression.
"Better be cautious," Medusa still didn't let go of the scythe.
"After all, this is the kingdom of the dead. Even if they really have a plan, we can't escape, just to save the trouble of another trip," Cyd yawned very heartily.
Medusa just sighed silently, she wanted to run away with Cyd, but Cyd was very determined to pull her to the depths of the Underworld, obviously she would not change her mind.
Under the gaze of the dead crowd, they came to a dark palace. The closed door slowly opened with black air and creaking sounds, and the densely packed crowd disappeared like it was an illusion.
"Can't you just walk away normally?" Cyd's face was full of black lines.
"Afraid now?" Medusa gave Cyd a sideways glance.
"It's useless to be afraid," Cyd braced himself and walked into the palace where there is no light at all.
"Pat――"
Cyd's footsteps echoed in the dark palace. Fortunately, the palace did not go around as Cyd imagined. The straight passage led him to the master of the palace.
Cyd could clearly feel the aisles start to widen over time.
"Welcome."
Some deep voices sounded at the end of the darkness.
Two faint blue flames lit up on both sides, and then like dominoes, the flames lit up one by one, and the whole space became brighter. The flames were burning but they could not feel any warmth, but they were a little bit scared probably because the sense of oppression emanating from the man sitting on the throne with his chin propped up is too strong.
The King of Underworld - Hades!
"Sorry, did I scare you?" Hades was a little stunned.
"Honey, you should smile," the beautiful woman sitting next to Hades reluctantly poked Hades' paralyzed face with her fingers.
Persephone is the only one who can poke Hades in the face so casually.
"Really?" Hades rubbed his stiff face, and the corners of his mouth rose forcibly, revealing a terrifying smile.
Cyd subconsciously covered Medusa's eyes.
"You better stop laughing, honey," Persephone patted her chest, apparently startled too.
Hades silently restrained his horrified smile. Although his face was still paralyzed, Cyd could still see that Hades was a little injured.
"That...I'm here this time..." Cyd blinked, should he say whether he was here to deliver a message or a blessing.
"Blessings, right?" Hades rubbed his face, "And a message from Demeter."
"Eh...that's right." Cyd scratched the back of his head, "Hades -sama, what do you want me to do?"
Blessing. It's definitely impossible for nothing, after all, the other party is the master of the dignified Underworld, and he is a mortal who has no god behind him and goes to Underworld to get the blessing. It's definitely Impossible to be given, and there is probably another trial to pass, but I hope it will not be a trial by someone who is in trouble.
"What?" Hades looked at Persephone, then looked towards Cyd, "I don't want you to do anything."
Huh?
Cyd was stunned.
"As long as you can come to me," Hades reached out and grabbed a simple helmet in his hand. "I don't need this anymore, so I'll give it to you."
After saying that, Hades threw the helmet at Cyd.
"For...why?" Cyd hurriedly caught the helmet flying towards him.
Facing Cyd's question, Hades did not answer, but closed his eyes very coldly.
"Because my dear likes you, little fellow~" Persephone said with a laugh.
"Eh? Ehhhhhh!"
"Well~ you are the only normal person who worshipped him for so many years," Persephone dragged his chin and looked towards Hades, "Right~ "
"Hmph," Hades shook his head coldly.
"No way," Cyd was a little disbelieving.
Hades is still the king of the Underworld no matter how bad his reputation is. You are not offering him well when you are alive, aren't you afraid that he will punish you when you die?
Anyway, Cyd is afraid. Even if you die sooner or later, you will fall into Hades' hands when the time comes.
"My dear is in charge of the kingdom of death, no matter how much the living worship him, it won't do any good. So, it should be said that the living have nothing to worship him for? Even when the people worship to the gods every now, even I forget my dear, after all my dear has nothing but death," Persephone patted on Hades's shoulders heartlessly.
"It's not that no one worships me," Hades said with a look on his face.
"Yes, yes, I hope you, my dear, can bring plague to hostile nations," Persephone continued to tear down Hades' stand without any hesitation.
Hades held his forehead helplessly, he was speechless.
"That… shouldn't I avoid it?" Cyd said weakly looking at the helmet.
"Ah? It doesn't matter, this was originally meant for you," Persephone waved her hand, "My dear and I really like you, a little fellow who earnestly worships and does not ask anything for it~ and you also helped him win..."
"Cough!" Hades coughed a few times and interrupted Persephone, "That's it."
"Ah~ What does it matter, I finally got a cute little fellow," Persephone pouted in dissatisfaction.
"It's for his own good," Hades extended the hand helplessly and poked Persephone's forehead.
Are these two really in a relationship?
According to Demeter's statement, Persephone hates Hades and his Underworld very much, and every second she stays is worse than death, but seeing Persephone laughing at hehe... Where is life better than death?
