Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 206 The soul of the tauren is burning (4.3k)

"So, how do you want me to help you?"

Aphrodite couldn't wait to ask, her face full of excitement.

Yu Gong, as the goddess of love, has the divine power to bless love and protect those who seek love.

Especially this kind of love that is not tolerated by the world and carries the label of "poignant" makes Aphrodite empathize with it and associate it with her experience with Adonis.

In private, the soul of his lover is suffering in the underworld, waiting for the kind-hearted messenger in front of him to risk his rescue.

Aphrodite herself felt a little uneasy if this near-death journey did not bring enough benefits, lest Lorne would not work hard to get her beloved Adonis when she faced a real life-and-death crisis.

Moreover, if the opponent can successfully seduce a pure virgin goddess with his help to break his vow and become crazy about love, doesn't this just prove that his power of love is more powerful? You can even use this to indirectly strengthen her erotic power.

Under the earnest gaze of the God of Love, a hint of shyness appeared on Lorne's handsome face.

"I...I want to formally pursue Lady Hestia. I hope she will fall in love with me."

Hearing such an innocent answer, Aphrodite was even more satisfied and immediately made her vow.

"Okay! When you come back from Hades, I will let the three goddesses of Grace baptize you personally in my holy pool!"

The Three Graces refer to the three beautiful goddesses in Greek mythology who represent the three qualities of charm, elegance and beauty. They are the daughters of Zeus and the ocean nymph Eurynome, singers and dancers of the gods, bringing beauty and joy to the world. They are Aglaia, the goddess of radiance, Thalia, the goddess of encouragement, and Euphrosyne, the goddess of joy. They embody all the beauty of life in Greek mythology.

In fact, they are also feasting, consuming, personifying colorful life, materializing people's desires, and incarnating the joy of life.

Regardless of whether humans or gods, as long as they pursue the beauty of life, they will inevitably be affected by the power of the three goddesses of grace.

To be more precise, elegance or charm is the externalization of this divine authority, which can be of different types: such as the charm of lust, the favor of Aphrodite, which can cause the attraction of both sexes; and such as glory, which is the warrior's. Charm; another example is the king's charisma that can arouse respect for the law.

This kind of "charm" that blends with flesh and blood and goes deep into the bone marrow is far more durable and stable than the "love" that comes and goes like a tide.

At the same time, this kind of charm can also be used to bestow favors on others. For example, the great hero Odysseus received the "charm" gifted by Athena after being bathed by Nausicaa, the princess of Huaicaa, and became a god. With the same appearance, you will have no disadvantages in your interactions with the opposite sex from now on.

In the original history, even the great witch Circe fell for it.

This is just a blessing given by Athena under the guise of a mortal princess.

And now, Aphrodite actually decided to join forces with the three goddesses under her to bless Lorne in the holy pool in the sea of ​​Paphos after the trip to the underworld was completed.

This shows the sincerity of this God of Love.

Lorne couldn't help but express gratitude for Aphrodite's love.

The blessing that wants to have an impact on Hestia, the virgin goddess, is obviously not a cheap buff based on low-level sensuality. Aphrodite will definitely bleed heavily this time.

Lorne estimated that based on the strength of Hestia's Virgin Vow, the power of the God of Love he had gained from Aphrodite and the Three Graces should be enough to condense an incarnation.

Moreover, when Adonis is resurrected, he can persuade Aphrodite and Adonis to hide their identities and go to the world of two by using the excuse of evading pursuit in the underworld.

By then, won’t the three eye-catching goddesses of Meihui have no one to take care of them? How could I have the nerve to let them suffer again?

--Perfect!

A Cretan scribe who inherited the essence of Minoan civilization had the Minotaur soul burning in his body, and he even couldn't wait to see what would happen after he returned from the underworld.

Aphrodite, who had no idea that she was being tricked, regarded the black-hearted villain in front of her as a kindred spirit, and even began to worry about his safety.

"Although my Adonis is very important, you must also be careful..."

Lorne touched his remaining conscience, smiled slightly, and comforted softly.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't tell me, and I don't tell you, who will think that I am connected with Prince Adonis?"

He dared to go to Hades and take this risk because he had no apparent motive for doing these things.

In the process of sneaking into the underworld, he wanted to do something conveniently so that he could operate it alone.

In this way, the matter of Adonis can be used to muddy the waters, save the life of the future god of medicine, and at the same time, harvest wool from Aphrodite. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Now, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

~~

A few days later, on an island somewhere near the Gulf of Paphos.

"You want to go to Hades?"

Thetis looked at Lorne who came to ask for help again after being away for many days, and couldn't help but have a dark look on her face.

The first time I offended Ares, the God of War:

The second time I provoked Eris, the goddess of discord, and the three goddesses of vengeance:

The third time he actually asked her about the way to the underworld...

Judging from this sneaky intention, he shouldn't be going to pay homage to Hades, the King of Hades, right?

Why does this guy do nothing good every time he comes to her?

"have no idea!"

Thetis rubbed her itchy silver teeth, snorted and turned her head.

Lorne hurriedly stepped forward with a sneer, making a solemn promise.

"I owe you another favor, okay?"

He knew that the Sea of ​​Oceanus was connected to Hades, but the specific path was not clear.

Perhaps my teacher Circe knew better.

But in view of the relationship between Hecate and the stupid bird, Lorne did not dare to reveal his whereabouts to Circe in order to avoid alerting the enemy.

So, after thinking for a while, he could only decide on Thetis to ask for directions.

Who made this sea nymph famous for her erudition and wisdom, and she was most familiar with him near the island of Cyprus.

Seeing that Thetis was still unmoved with a cold face, Lorne stretched out another finger.

"Two, two favors!"

Thetis glanced at the enemy who came to the door, frowned and asked.

"Do we have to go to the underworld?"

"Well, I have to go!"

"Is it related to Hecate, the goddess of the dark moon?"

"almost……"

Lorne nodded, also a little helpless.

That's true. The cause of everything was Hecate coming to investigate the imbalance of life and death, which in turn triggered a series of changes.

Finally, after some careful consideration, Thetis sighed quietly.

"Okay, I'll take you there..."

~~

Two days later, the original ocean, the old submarine site of the Atlantis continent.

Three burly giants with a hundred heads and a hundred arms stood tall and majestic on the desolate ruins, like three huge pillars holding down the sea.

The remaining Atlanteans were stripped of their human form and turned into half-human, half-fish shapes, imprisoned in that dead kingdom.

What's more, some Atlanteans were deprived of intelligence due to the curse of Zeus, and could not even maintain their half-human, half-fish posture. They could only become irrational humanoid sea beasts in the dark and lightless trench. Fighting and devouring each other.

"Puff puff puff puff!"

Waves of flesh tearing sounds came from the deep rifts on the sea floor, and the turbid blood floated on the water, attracting a large number of deformed monsters to fight and snatch food.

Briareus, the leader of the hundred-armed giants, glanced boredly and lost interest for a moment.

As usual, it's just some fallen people fighting in the trench.

Immediately, he shifted the gaze of several heads to the underwater ruins of the Kingdom of Atlantis and continued to monitor the remaining Atlanteans.

At the same time, the two inconspicuous "sea beasts" felt that the cold gazes falling on them disappeared, and breathed a sigh of relief, carefully exploring the deepest part of the dark crack on the seabed.

As the crack reached the end, the "sea beast" on the left transformed into Thetis.

"arrive!"

The goddess of the sea pointed at the dark red light pattern at the bottom of the crack and reminded in a deep voice.

"It turns out that this is the entrance to the underworld on the sea..."

Lorne, disguised as another sea beast, returned to his human form, reached out and touched the dark red light curtain that looked like a substance and the orichalcum door inside, and couldn't help but secretly marvel at the huge divine power contained within.

According to Hesiod's description in "Theogony", Tartarus, the underworld's hell, was surrounded by three dark curtains (black curtains) and three bronze walls. Its bronze doors were made by Poseidon, who fought on the Titans. The defeated Titans were imprisoned here, guarded by hundred-armed giants.

If you want to enter Hades from the human world, this is a quite hidden passage.

Due to her close relationship with Sea King and Sea Queen, Thetis is one of the few insiders.

Moreover, even if something goes wrong, it seems that the good brother-in-law can be blamed afterwards, or some of the rational remnants of Atlantis in the trench.

The two villains who had the same idea looked at each other, nodded secretly, and then stepped forward to touch some secret texts on the copper block.

For a moment, three huge walls made of orichalcum flashed with light patterns, and the bricks automatically shrank and closed like living creatures, opening a narrow passage.

Immediately, the blue vortex spread straight down along the crack, and Lorne and Thetis, who were wrapped in it, jumped out in time and landed at the intersection of the dark road with jagged rocks.

The surroundings were dim, with only the faint blue phosphorus fire floating around bringing some light.

Moreover, as soon as it hit the ground, the deathly aura like thick black fog seemed to sense the breath of life, and turned into black snakes and pythons, quickly entangling and eroding the living intruders.

Buzz!

However, Qingyue's solemn trembling trembled from Lorne's body, and the golden light wheel behind him pointed to the sixth grid simultaneously, and a cluster of golden firelight rose up, illuminating the surroundings.

The snakes and pythons formed by the aggregation of death energy around them disappeared immediately like ice and snow exposed to the blazing sun.

At the intersection, Lorne lowered his head to look at the sacred fire in his palm, raised his hand and placed his palm lightly on his chest, a trace of happiness appeared in his eyes.

Fortunately, Hestia's holy fire dispelled the death energy around him.

Otherwise, if he enters Hades as a living person, he will inevitably be affected.

"Ahem..."

At this time, hearing a suppressed cough behind him, Lorne couldn't help but come to his senses, and quickly applied the blessing spell of the Ayo Island lineage to Thetis, who was not adaptable to the environment of the underworld.

Of course, in terms of effect, this level of protection can only ensure Thetis's normal movements, and it is definitely not as good as Lorn's high-standard divine protection that can eliminate large areas of death by driving at will.

Looking at the primitive and barbaric landscape in front of him and the squirming chaotic masses around him, Lorne frowned secretly.

Tartarus comes from the chaotic void that was born in the Greek world, which is the [Abyss] and is the body of the underworld.

Therefore, it is the home of gods and human souls, and a prison for the most evil beings. It is connected to the ocean and the earth through the Styx.

In addition, it is said that this is an important place where the Titans and other enemies of Zeus are imprisoned. If you delay for too long, you will inevitably have long nights and dreams.

In order to avoid unnecessary complications, it is better to do it as soon as possible.

Lorne then held Thetis' somewhat cold hand, activated the holy fire in his body, and introduced the warmth and radiance from the human world into the body of the ocean nymph. Then, after confirming the direction with the faint light of the phosphorus fire, he quickly led his teammate Travel through this dangerous terrain

Tartarus's defensive circle is divided into two parts: the inner and outer parts. The outer part is a physical fortress with three copper walls. Inside, there are also three layers of darkness that confuse perception, inhibit power, and are full of death as an invisible barrier.

For others, the dark curtain behind the copper wall is even more difficult to deal with.

But the holy fire in Lorne's hand once again pointed the way for him.

In the darkness, the two people walked zigzag forward. Although the road extended in all directions, it was uneven and difficult to walk. From time to time, they would step on dead bones, which would bring a creepy and crisp echo in the dead environment.

On both sides, there are either slippery and cold cliffs or valleys leading straight into the abyss, which can be said to be full of dangers.

But with the guidance of the holy fire, as well as everyone's strong physical fitness and perception, after about a day and night of exploration, they finally walked out of the dead area shrouded in triple darkness.

The shrill roar of the Styx came from the river not far away, and the wails of the souls in the water seemed quite beautiful at this moment.

The two of them breathed a long sigh of relief, relaxed their tense nerves a little, and then looked around to find a relatively flat wilderness for a short rest.

Immediately, Lorne and Thetis sketched out the evil spirit dispelling spell, set up camp, and settled down briefly.

Standing on the blue-gray stone, Thetis, who was on guard, looked at the lifeless gray world around her, and thought of the tragic situation after Atlantis offended the gods, and couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

Seeing that Thetis was infected with a dull atmosphere, Lorne flexed her muscles, clapped her hands, took out a jug of wine from the magic array and handed it to her.

"Would you like something to drink to warm yourself up?"

"good……"

Now that she was on the pirate ship, Thetis didn't hesitate too much. She decisively took the wine flask, took a sip of the wine, her spirits were slightly boosted, and she immediately spoke to remind her.

"We'd better hurry, I don't have a good feeling here."

Lorne nodded, and in order to speed up the journey, he simply picked up Thetis by the waist, activated the divine speed of [Goat], turned into an afterimage, broke through the gray mist, and galloped in the desolate and silent wilderness.

Soon, a rugged and steep peak stood in the gray mist, towering into the clouds.

On the rugged mountain road, a figure as small as an ant wearing rune shackles pushed a dark boulder towards the top of the mountain.

However, just when the boulder was about to reach the top, the heavy object rolled uncontrollably towards the foot of the mountain due to the influence of certain rules. Thunderous roars were heard all the way, as if mocking the prisoner who was not overestimating his own abilities. .

It can't be him, right?

Lorne narrowed his eyes and approached Thetis cautiously.
