Chapter 620 The Wrath of Zeus
Hades returned to the underworld quietly. When he returned to his fortress at the top of the underworld, the Queen of the Underworld was not there.
Hermes was also not there.
This did not surprise him. As the daughter of Zeus, Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, was the spy that Zeus had placed by his side.
He let the charioteer Scorpion travel to the underworld alone, and teased the three-headed dog Cerberus for a while, and then he waited for his wife, Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld.
"Hades." The Queen of
the Underworld was a little surprised to see Hades, but Hades was not surprised at all. He smiled at his wife, and his red eyes became more and more evil.
"I'll go... I'll go..." The Queen of the Underworld's eyes were erratic.
Even after saying "I'll go" several times, she didn't make it clear where she was going.
"He's angry, right?"
Hades asked, teasing the head in the middle of the three-headed dog. The Queen of
the Underworld was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"But I'm a little surprised that he didn't go to the desert,"
said Hades.
"I don't know why,"
said the Queen of the Underworld carefully.
"You'll know soon."
Hades smiled and said, and raised his right hand to the right, and a long black whip was summoned from the void.
Hades swung the whip at the Queen of the Underworld, and the Queen of the Underworld's face changed in fear.
"Snap."
The whip exploded on the Queen of the Underworld's head, startling her and causing her to stagger.
Hades retracted the whip and swung it back, and the whip returned to the void.
The sound of the whip spread far to the Mountain of Gods and reached the seat of the King of Gods.
"Are you provoking me, my dear brother?"
Zeus's angry voice rang out from the top of the Mountain of the Gods, and then he swung his scepter vigorously, and lightning instantly enveloped the entire Mountain of the Gods.
As the center of the lightning, Zeus swooped down from the peak of the Mountain of the Gods and went directly into the underworld.
"Boom..."
In the underworld, thunder roared, and skeletons, little demons, big demons, and ghosts hid everywhere, but the scattered lightning penetrated everywhere, and no one knew how many were killed in an instant.
Hades stood on the high platform of the castle of the underworld, watching the scene quietly, with no expression on his face.
"My dear brother, don't you want to give me an explanation?"
Zeus had already stood in the castle without knowing when.
He was tall and strong, with complicated patterns on his clothes. He held his scepter in his right hand and wore a crown on his head.
Hades turned his head and glanced at him, not caring about Zeus's glare.
"When I got there, Taichu had already devoured the giant court. We confronted each other for a while, and then I came back."
Hades waved his cloak, and the power of the underworld surged, suppressing the raging lightning.
"Why didn't you tell me the first time?"
Zeus asked dissatisfiedly.
"This may be a lie of Hermes. He failed and had to find an excuse for himself."
Hades glanced at the Queen of the Underworld and saw that she was kneeling on the ground obediently, as if she was immersed in her father's power and couldn't extricate herself.
This made Hades feel disgusted, but he did not show anything. Instead, he walked down from the platform and continued, "It could also be Ganymede's lie, helping Taichu to lure us over and then destroy us in one fell swoop." "
I think these are all your lies."
Zeus was still angry, but it had to be said that he was better than before.
"In fact, I know they will tell you the news after I leave. I think if you think it is necessary, you will go there."
Hades dragged his cloak to the bottom of the platform and looked at Zeus.
In terms of height, Hades did not have an advantage. Zeus was broad and taller than him by more than a head.
Looking up at Zeus slightly, Hades suddenly recalled the past, when his father was still alive.
At that time, he was the tallest among the brothers, and Zeus was indeed the shortest among the brothers.
Later, when Zeus became the king of the gods, he changed his height and asked other gods not to change their height.
Only then did Zeus become the tallest being among the gods, just like his throne.
This also disgusted Hades.
"I didn't chase him because I trusted you."
Zeus walked around his younger brother and walked slowly onto the high platform. He liked the feeling of being condescending.
"That's my honor."
Hades bowed slightly, but there was deep disdain in his lowered eyes.
He knew why Zeus did not catch up with him. It was because Poseidon, the god of the sea, was not around, and he did not dare to face himself and Taichu alone.
He knows Zeus as Zeus knows Him.
The brothers were wary of each other.
"I can forgive you, but for fairness, I must punish you."
Zeus paced on the platform, turned his back, stood where Hades often stood, and scanned the entire underworld.
"I accept all punishments."
Hades bowed again and said.
"Three hundred years, you stay in your castle for three hundred years, and you are not allowed to go out again."
Zeus suddenly turned around and stared at Hades.
"As you wish."
Hades said with a smile.
This made Zeus angry. What he hated most was the indifferent expression of this former brother and now younger brother.
He seemed to be happy with all the punishments and oppressions he inflicted on him.
But once there was a chance, he would resist with those insidious and shady tricks.
"How strong is Taichu?"
Zeus asked, suppressing his anger.
"We didn't do it, but I don't think I can beat him. Only you, the great king of the gods, can defeat him."
Hades said flatteringly. The Queen of
the Underworld crouched on the ground. After hearing this, a smile bloomed on her face, and she agreed with Hades' words very much.
But Zeus was not happy at all, because he could not see a single compliment on Hades' face.
Moreover, Hades' description of the primordial power was too vague, as vague as if he had said nothing.
"Did you see the situation of Hermes?"
Zeus did not have much to do with Hades, so he could only ask around the subject.
"Hephaestus went a little too far, but I think considering everything Hermes did, it was not too far."
Hades said with a chuckle.
The green hat on Hephaestus's head undoubtedly came from Zeus's indulgence, and his words were also a disguised insult to Zeus.
Zeus had many shortcomings, such as arrogance and arrogance, but as the king of gods, these were not a big problem, including his insidiousness, which most gods could accept.
His chaotic life was the root of the gods' criticism, and Hades would mock his brother whenever he had the chance.
Zeus's face changed, and he stared at Hades angrily and said, "You know that's not what I'm talking about."
"Oh, what is that?"
Hades asked in confusion.
"The Beginning deprived Hermes of his throne, and at the same time, his divine power was also deprived."
Zeus said.
Hades nodded. Of course he knew this, but he didn't know what was surprising about it.
"Just give it again. Even if it's a bit troublesome because of Hephaestus's actions, it shouldn't be difficult for you."
Hades said.
"Impossible, that divine power did not return to the Mountain of the Gods, it...really disappeared."
Zeus looked at Hades with a scrutinizing look, he wanted to know if Hades knew the result.
Hades was stunned, he was really a little surprised.
It was difficult to deprive Hermes of his divine power, but it was even more difficult to completely plunder this divine power after depriving it and prevent it from returning to the Mountain of the Gods.
Suddenly, Hades thought of the fairyland, the fairyland that looked like a whole new world.
"What do you know?"
Zeus noticed the change in Hades's vision and immediately questioned.
"..."
Hades did not answer immediately, he knew that his expression revealed something, but he did not want to tell Zeus something.
"Speak, I want to hear the truth."
Zeus continued to urge.
"I saw the world in the beginning."
Hades said after compiling his thoughts.
"What kind of world?"
Zeus asked immediately.
"A world that looks like a ball of light. I didn't have the chance to enter, but I can feel that the world is like... the underworld."
Hades lied, but his expression was very sincere.
Zeus stared at him for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "If it is a world like the underworld, it cannot trap the divine power of Hermes."
The underworld is not complete, it is just a reflection of the Mountain of the Gods, and it is even difficult to make its own rules.
This leads to all kinds of strange creatures in the underworld, and souls that come here are likely to become skeletons, ghosts, or demons.
Hades shrugged and said, "Maybe it is more perfect than the underworld, but from the outside, there is nothing worth noting."
Zeus glared at Hades for a long time, so long that the Queen of the Underworld looked up in confusion, and only lowered her head again after confirming that the two were looking at each other.
"I hope you are telling the truth."
Zeus said.
"You can't doubt my loyalty to the Mountain of the Gods."
Hades replied.
Zeus had nothing to say and was silent for a while. He knew that he would not get more from Hades.
"I hope Hermes will become the god of death in the underworld. You will educate him during the three hundred years of imprisonment."
Zeus said, and was ready to reach out and take Hermes down from the Mountain of the Gods.
But Hades shook his head and said, "Leave it to Thanatos. As the god of death, he has more experience."
Zeus's hand froze, and he looked at Hades in disbelief.
Are you... rejecting me?
Hades didn't look at him, but turned his head to look at the Queen of the Underworld who was kneeling not far away, and said, "Persephone should go back with you. She is not suitable to follow me. I want to be alone for the next three hundred years."
"Hades, you'd better know what you are talking about?"
Zeus asked angrily, and the scepter in his hand emitted lightning and made crackling sounds.
Hades glanced at Zeus, and said in a gradually rising voice: "I know, and you better know, this is the underworld, and I rule here."
Zeus glared at Hades for a long time, then snorted, grabbed Persephone and flew directly to the Mountain of the Gods.
But when he left Hades' castle, he angrily smashed down a ball of lightning.
The lightning covered the castle, making it look like a prison furnace.
