King of Underworld - Chapter 188



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

Side story – Rebellion of the Underworld (2)

He decided to rebel against Zeus, the king of the gods, but there were more than a few hurdles to overcome.

First of all, realistically, Zeus is very strong. If Poseidon and I combined our strength, we could win, but no one can defeat Zeus alone.

The numerous forces of the underworld are of no help in the battle between the three gods, so I must find another way.

Should I negotiate with Gaia and get her help?

…No. She would definitely ask for the release of the Titans imprisoned in Tartarus.

No matter how much I talk, I will have to give in to releasing the other Titans except for Kronos.

If not one or two Titans, but all of them are released, I will not be able to control them with my power.

However, we cannot receive cooperation from Poseidon, who is always coveting Zeus’s seat.

If I want to take the throne of the kings of the gods and change Olympus, I must subdue all three gods except myself.

Even if Zeus is overthrown, if there is still conflict with Poseidon over the godhood of the sky, mortals will continue to suffer in a battle that will last for decades.

It would be more likely to use him and then hit him in the back of the head… but he wouldn’t give in to it like that.

Most of the gods of the underworld would follow me if I rebelled, since I already had complete control of this place, just like Poseidon’s sea.

It is fortunate that here at least my authority takes precedence over that of the King of the Gods.

The only unsettling element in the underworld are the Hecatoncheires who guard the entrance to Tartarus.

How would they react if they knew that they were thrown into Tartarus by Uranus but rescued by Zeus?

No matter how ignorant they may be of the world at the entrance to Tartarus, they are also gods.

Maybe they sense the coming of war, or maybe a god on Zeus’ side might bring word to them, hoping to get their aid while most of the gods, including myself, are fighting on Olympus.

Even if I succeed in my rebellion, there is a very high possibility that problems will arise due to their strong power.

Before attacking Olympus, we need to persuade them or tie them up… I guess we should definitely find a way to persuade them and take it.

So, first of all, we need to crack down completely on the inside.

“Is there anyone out there?”

“Yes! What is it, Hades?”

“Summon all the gods above a certain level, such as Thanatos, Charon, Eris, the goddess of discord, and Lethe, the goddess of oblivion.”

“You too, Caron?”

“Yes. If I tell you something urgent, you will understand.”

The messenger disappeared. I closed my eyes and thought about my future plans.

Rebelling against Zeus won’t be easy, but I will do whatever it takes for the sake of the world.

After a while, the gods of the underworld gathered in the audience room.

Thanatos, Hypnos, Morpheus, Moros, Ceres, Eris, Lethe, Styx, Charon, the three Erinyes sisters, etc.

As numerous gods gathered in one place, a gentle aura spread throughout the audience room.

“Dear gods, are you all here?”

“Hades. You’re so busy guiding the dead to the underworld, why did you call me too? All sorts of natural disasters have been occurring in this world recently…”

“That’s why. Even at this very moment, the dead are piling up in the Acheron River.”

A roar of anger erupted from Thanatos and Charon. They were the busiest gods in the underworld.

But if you listen to me, you’ll react a little differently.

I lightly waved my hand and moved the attendants. The materials I had prepared in advance were conveyed to the gods through the hands of the attendants.

“Everyone, please take a look at these materials.”

“What is this? [Status of the Dead Coming to the Underworld] [List of Evil Deeds of the Olympian Gods]?”

“Well… the number of dead people coming to the afterlife is definitely increasing. Does this have anything to do with Olympus?”

“[Increase in the number of dead people who do not lose their memories even after crossing the river of oblivion]… Ah.”

“I get what you’re saying. The Olympian gods are adding to our workload.”

The materials I prepared in advance are a compilation of the misdeeds of the Olympian gods.

I mainly focused on how much the work of the underworld has increased. I think it’s persuasive because I properly included the fact that the underworld suffers every time a minor quarrel occurs on Olympus.

There were some gods who were irritated or angry, and there were quite a few who sighed.

When it felt like the atmosphere of condemning Olympus had been formed, the wedge was driven in.

“And did you know that? Recently, natural disasters have occurred in this world, and the number of dead coming to the afterlife has increased dramatically.”

“The number of dead has definitely increased several times. I thought it had something to do with Olympus, but…”

“Hephaestus and Ares fought over Aphrodite, and Zeus’s adultery was discovered, and even his perfect mediation failed. So the gods’ quarrel caused mortals to die.”

As soon as he finished saying this, a roar filled with resentment burst out.

Thanatos was the slave of the underworld who harvested death, or rather, the true worker.

“What?! The only reason I can’t sleep these days is because of those kids’ love fights!”

Other gods, including Charon, also reacted in amazement.

It would be absurd to think that the reason for the recent surge in work is the petty squabbles of the Olympian gods.

“No… Don’t they think about the afterlife?”

“What on earth is Zeus doing?”

“Huh. Heh. I go to this world every day to deliver sleep, but it seems like I don’t see anything from above the clouds.”

“….Haa. I didn’t know this would happen when I was the first to side with Olympus in the Titanomachy. Was this the news from Hermes?”

The words of the many gods. And a word from the goddess Styx touches my heart.

Have the gods changed a lot since then? No, it was a war that started in order to survive.

“So I want to overthrow Zeus and become the king of the gods.”

“Hmm?!”

I spoke to them, who were looking at me with slightly surprised eyes, and said the words I had prepared in advance.

Of course, while checking the gods’ moods one by one.

“How long will our underworld be at the mercy of Olympus? The immortals of Olympus, including Zeus, need to feel a little more seriously about their responsibilities as gods. Of course, irresponsible behavior, such as being attracted to women and causing harm to mortals, should be condemned.”

Everyone seemed to be nodding in agreement.

Not a single person showed any discomfort or contradicted what I said.

“I will go to war with Olympus, overthrow Zeus, become the king of the gods, and control their misdeeds. Please help me.”

“Yeah. You’re much better than Zeus.”

“I agree too. That damn Zeus. He became the king of the gods, but he doesn’t even know how to respect old people like us…”

“…I’m on your side.”

“Oh my. Look at this. Haha… Anyway, do whatever you want, Lete. I respect your choice.”

The words of Thanatos and Charon, the goddess Lethe and her mother, the goddess Eris.

Following them, the other gods also added their words, roughly supporting me and joining in the effort to overthrow Zeus.

“Thank you all. There is a high possibility that we will invade Olympus in the near future, so everyone should be prepared. And we will proceed as usual without being noticed by you…”

Okay, now we know where to go next.

If you can’t defeat Zeus through a head-on confrontation, try using a trick.

To obtain a strategy and make it successful, you need plans and prophecies.

To obtain plans and prophecies, bold, even radical, actions are required.

* * *

Caucasus Mountains.

A place where there exists a criminal who dares to disobey the orders of the King of Gods and bring fire to humans.

Prometheus, a Titan god who was chained to a rock wall and forced to endure the terrible pain of having his liver eaten every day, let out a low moan.

“Ugh…!”

Thud thud thud.

Because the chains of Hephaestus that bound his body broke so easily.

And that was all with a single strike from someone who was completely unaware of the Titan’s senses.

The Titan of Prophecy’s brain is spinning quickly.

There is only one item that allows for hiding without being detected by even the Titans’ senses: the Quine, a sacred object symbolizing the King of the Underworld.

The power to instantly break the chains of the blacksmith god, one of the twelve Olympian gods.

Well then… Hahaha! Zeus! It’s time to get your karma back!

Even your brother, whom you should never turn into an enemy, has turned his spear against you, so your doom is not far off!

“Kekekekeke. I’ll join too.”

Prometheus quickly finished his calculations and opened his mouth, releasing his body.

Then a soft voice was heard from the void where nothing existed.

“…Did you know about it in advance through a prophecy?”

“No? But there is only one thing that the one who wears Quine and comes to the surface to break my chains can do.”

Wheeing-

There was a moment of silence, and then Zeus’ divine beast, an eagle, swooped down from the sky to devour his liver.

A beast that lives up to its name as a god… Ah, how much suffering I had to endure from that damned beast!

However, Prometheus, who broke Hephaestus’ chains and regained his strength, became one of the great Titan gods.

Not even the twelve Olympian gods, or even the mere divine beasts, could pose a threat to him.

Ugh.

Foodie. Foodie.

The Titan of Prophecy looked at the fluttering eagle in his hand with hateful eyes for a moment.

He opened his mouth and started chewing on the living soul.

Sizzle- sizzle. Sizzle!

Prometheus, whose mouth was covered in the blood and feathers of the gods, looked up at the sky with slightly bloodshot eyes.

A Titan of prophecy who speaks his conjectures with a face full of madness and joy.

“Are you finally going to rebel against Zeus, Hades? King of the Underworld.”
