King of Underworld - Chapter 187

Side story – Rebellion of the Underworld (1)

The gods’ wickedness has reached its peak recently.

“Sigh. Oh, Lord of the Underworld. Poseidon, you forced me…”

“…Okay. You’ll be treated well in the afterlife, so make yourself comfortable.”

The deceased who just passed away is one who was harmed by Poseidon. Not long ago, there was also a mortal who died from both the love of Zeus and the jealousy of Hera.

Callisto, Lamia, and countless other victims whose names I can’t even remember, who suffered and died while stuck between Artemis, Zeus, and Hera, come to the underworld.

Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, and countless other male gods, as well as goddesses.

Selene, who loved the sleeping human male Endymion and put him to sleep forever; Hera, who tormented the many human women and illegitimate children of Zeus.

There are too many instances of immortals being cruel to mortals.

And all these victims, even after crossing the river of oblivion, still do not lose their memories and come to me with their complaints.

“Hoo…”

No matter how many times I warned the gods, nothing changed, and no matter how much I told Zeus, it was useless.

How on earth can we stop the immortals from their evil ways? Even if they are all blood relatives… Shouldn’t we do something about it?

No matter how much the saying goes that the arm bends inward, I felt the need to grab the day and scold them all.

“Lord Hades. The god Hermes has arrived in the underworld.”

“The messenger god? Tell him to come in first.”

The face of the god Hermes, who had come down to the underworld, had a very sad expression.

What happened on Olympus again to make you make that face?

Not long ago, all sorts of disasters, such as volcanic eruptions, heavy rains, and earthquakes, struck the earth, sending a flood of dead people to the afterlife.

Now even Olympus is causing trouble. My head really hurts.

“Hello, Grandfather. It’s none other than… There’s a feud among the gods on Olympus.”

“Internal strife? What is this?”

As if his cruelty toward humans wasn’t enough, now there’s internal strife. What on earth is Zeus doing?

First, I listened to Hermes’ words.

“It seems like something that was meant to happen has happened…”

Hermes slowly tells the story while sighing deeply as if the earth were collapsing.

To summarize the messenger’s words, they were as follows…

The marriage of Aphrodite and Hephaestus was a semi-forced union from the beginning.

That is why Aphrodite always had affairs with various male gods, including Ares.

There was no way Hephaestus was unaware of his wife’s infidelity, and he had previously tied Ares and Aphrodite up in a net to humiliate them.

But… what happened this time was a little different.

Hephaestus, who had once again caught his wife and sister having an affair, came in while they were having sex.

Naturally, Hephaestus was very angry and swung the hammer he was holding at Ares’ head, and the god of war was struck by the hammer and fell.

It should have ended here, but Ares spoke out loud to Hephaestus.

“What the heck! Why did someone who wasn’t even loved by Aphrodite get married in the first place! That ugly, lame bastard!”

“What the?! Looks like you want to get beaten to death by me today, Ares!!!”

“Ah. No…! Stop!”

Hephaestus is the god of fire and volcanoes.

Although he is always focused on his blacksmith work, his fighting skills are among the best among the 12 Olympian gods.

In other words, a powerful god that Ares can never defeat.

Even Hephaestus had the right to do it. This time, for some reason, Ares did not back down.

“If I was going to get Aphrodite by force, my father would have taken her! Aphrodite and I love each other!”

“Father Zeus should have given me Aphrodite. Why don’t you acknowledge it and continue to do such things?”

The god of war and the god of fire glared at each other and swung their fists, and Olympus turned into a battlefield.

Hot flames and the violent power of war collide, destroying huge buildings.

When this uproar arose, the other gods of Olympus also joined in.

Aphrodite, who could not give up on love, sided with Ares, and the goddess of wisdom, who usually looked down on them, sided with Hephaestus.

Poseidon, who happened to be on Olympus, defended Hephaestus, and Eros flew in and embraced his mother.

Now, infidelity was no longer an issue.

As things grew bigger, the gods began to vent their pent-up resentment and lash out at each other.

“Marriage is something you do with someone you love! How can a relationship that is forced end well?”

“Eros. Is that why you overuse your golden arrows? Because of you, I and Daphne…!”

“Athena! What are you going to say to me again with your personal feelings?”

“Don’t you think that you always fight so brutally in my wars, Ares?”

“This is what happens when young ones take possession of Aphrodite. It should have been given to me, the ruler of the sea, long ago…”

“Guys, stop it all…”

Hestia, the only one who had maintained her composure, tried to stop him in a crawling voice, but it was no use.

Finally, a powerful lightning strike struck between the gods who were glaring at each other.

Kwarrrrung!!!

“Everyone, stop fighting! What a disgrace this is between the gods!”

Eventually, Zeus himself intervened and forcibly ended the fight by throwing a thunderbolt.

* * *

As Hermes’ words continued, I raised my hand to stop him for a moment and ask him a question.

What happened in the heavens was truly absurd, but Zeus must have intervened well.

“If Zeus had intervened, he would have taken care of it. He can be strange sometimes, but doesn’t he mediate well in these cases? You should go back to Olympus and…”

“Ah. That’s right. After Father finished mediating, Lady Hera came in, furious, after discovering evidence of Father’s affair.”

“…also?”

“Yes. So, my father’s mediation has completely lost trust…”

That damn Zeus has touched a woman of this world again.

The quarrel between Ares and Hephaestus ultimately had to do with Aphrodite’s love.

But it was not Zeus as usual, but Hera who was furious and had her authority undermined.

Who would trust the god of adultery and rape to mediate a lover’s quarrel?

“I see what you mean. So you’re still arguing a little bit?”

“Yes. Because of the angry gods, it affects the living world…”

“Wait a minute, is that why there are so many dead people in this world due to natural disasters?”

“That’s right. But before that, I would like to ask Uncle Hades to mediate temporarily…”

When Hermes said this, he could not contain his boiling anger.

Without realizing it, a cold divine power was radiating out and a roar came out of my mouth.

“More than that? Do you know how many dead people have flocked to the underworld because of the love quarrels of the Olympian gods?! It’s not the first time that mortals have suffered because of the wickedness of Olympus, and the work of the gods in the underworld has increased. How many times has this happened? And Zeus, who has lowered his authority himself, asked me to mediate? Are you talking about that?”

“That… that.”

“Hermes. Now that I think about it, you were after Aphrodite too. Aren’t you partly responsible for this situation? Be honest with me. Did you think that if Ares and Hephaestus fought, you would have a chance to get Aphrodite?”

“…In fact, I have already given birth to a child named Hermaphroditos…”

“I don’t want to hear any more! Get out now!”

“Yes. Yes, yes!”

After I got rid of Hermes, who was running away in fear, I came to my senses a little.

Phew. Let’s calm down for a moment. I guess I’ll just have to think about it slowly.

So, let’s take a slow look at everything again.

Ares and Aphrodite’s adultery angered Hephaestus and struck Ares, and when the two fought, other gods also got involved, and Olympus was divided into two sides and fought. Of course, Zeus mediated, but his authority was undermined by Hera, who was furious at his adultery. Because of this absurd fight between the gods, natural disasters occurred in the world and humans died in large numbers.

Kwaaang!

“Hoooooo…”

Calm down. Calm down. Before I knew it, my foot had rolled and a large hole had formed in the floor of the audience room.

I am the king of the underworld. I must always be calm and rational in my judgment. First, I will go to Olympus and beat up all the foolish people…

dripping.

“Who’s out there?”

“Lord Hades. Another human woman who has not lost her memories has emerged from the River Lethe. She cries out that she has been treated terribly by Zeus. What should we do?”

It just won’t work.

The underworld is busy, but up there, they are harassing humans and causing trouble? They should be allowed to act in moderation. This is way beyond the line.

It won’t be enough for me to go to Olympus and scold the gods.

This just needs to be overhauled from the ground up.

We must overthrow Olympus.
