Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 207 The World's Most Despicable Jailbreak Gang (5.4k)

The figure half lying on the mountain road looked tiredly at the boulder that fell to the foot of the mountain. He wanted to lie on one side and take a lazy rest.

But the chains and shackles engraved with inscriptions on his body resonated and vibrated, like a red-hot iron, bringing pain that went straight into the soul.

Suddenly, the prisoner let out a low groan, his facial contours twitched slightly, and he could only curse a few words angrily, dragging the heavy chains, and turned back.

"It's endless!"

"So, are you willing to say it? Sinner Sisyphus..."

A warm and quiet voice came from the hazy mist. A young man with golden eyes and hair, wearing a loose white robe, was standing at the starting point at the bottom of the mountain with his arms folded.

"What?" Sisyphus, dragging shackles and chains, blinked, looking innocent.

"My brother Thanatos, where did you lure him to?" The young man in white robe asked calmly, not fooled by the other party's superficial disguise.

"What's the benefit of telling me?"

"No." The young man in white robe shook his head in response, his expression colder, "But if you don't tell me, you will suffer the most cruel punishment in the underworld!"

"What am I doing now?"

"Serving my sentence..."

"Look, if I don't say I'm going to serve my sentence, and I still have to serve my sentence after I say it, then isn't it in vain?" Sisyphus counted on his fingers and looked at Hypnos, the god of sleep, who came to ask questions, with contempt, "You want me to open my mouth for no benefit? The old river god Aesop is more sensible than you."

When Zeus turned into a sacred eagle to abduct Aegina, Sisyphus, as a witness, sold Zeus's black material to the old river god Aesop, who was looking for his daughter, but in exchange for a holy spring that flows all year round for the Kingdom of Corinth under his rule.

As if persuaded by Sisyphus, Hypnos frowned and thought about it, and offered a price.

"As long as you are willing to confess, I can plead with Hades to spare you this eternal punishment."

"In other words, I can go home?" Sisyphus' eyes lit up, and he seemed quite tempted.

"Impossible!" However, Hypnos directly extinguished the prisoner's fantasy, "Your sins are serious. Even if you are exempted from the eternal punishment of God, you need to continue to be punished in other areas until you cleanse your sins."

"Forget it, I have just adapted to this job and have no plans to change jobs for the time being."

Sisyphus smiled and waved his hand, leaned over and pushed the thousand-pound boulder at the foot of the mountain, preparing to complete today's small goal of 100 round trips as usual.

"Stubborn!" Hypnos was angry and helpless when he didn't get the answer he wanted.

This guy is the founder and king of Corinth. Not long ago, he was exposed for his crime of informing the old river god Aesopus, and Zeus hated him.

The god king sentenced Sisyphus to death for blasphemy and ordered Thanatos, the god of death, to go to Corinth to take away the soul of this sinner and make him suffer in Hades.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually kidnapped and hid the god of death with tricks, causing the imbalance of life and death in the world.

Although Hecate, the goddess of the underworld, went to investigate, caught the culprit and threw him into Hades. But this guy still did not change his bad habits. He used sweet words to ask Hades for three days to deal with his funeral affairs, and promised to sacrifice to Hades. As a result, he immediately turned his face when he returned to the world, refused to leave, and refused to tell the whereabouts of Thanatos, the god of death...

Now, Hades, who was fooled, was furious. He entrusted Hecate, who was still looking for Thanatos on the ground, to catch this habitual offender who had been sent to prison for the second time, and personally formulated a cruel punishment for Sisyphus.

That is, he was asked to push a huge rock to the top of the mountain, but the rock always rolled down the mountain before it reached the top, and all his previous efforts were wasted. Therefore, he needed to repeat this task endlessly and endlessly until his soul and will were exhausted in this boring and painful eternal punishment.

Unless he could confess his crimes and confess the whereabouts of the god of death Thanatos as soon as possible, he might get a little pardon.

However, this guy enjoyed it and had no intention of letting go.

Sometimes he even had the mind and energy to joke, which made Hypnos, the god of sleep, who came to ask questions, very depressed.

Hypnos, who was in a bad mood and had no mood to stay any longer, turned into black dark butterflies and dispersed into the death fog that permeated the underworld.

~~

"Sisyphus?"

A low voice came from the darkness, and two slender figures emerged from the gray fog of the underworld with the surge of death.

The prisoner who was serving his sentence was slightly stunned, then looked at the two strange visitors at the foot of the mountain in surprise, and touched his chin narcissistically.

"Know me? Has my deeds and reputation spread to this extent?"

"..."

"Come on, come on, help me, let me rest for a while, when we return to Corinth, I will treat you to a drink - the top-grade fairy honey wine, which was personally sent to me by Dionysus, the god of wine!"

"…………"

As the main person, Lorne looked at the professional liar in front of him, his face turned black, and he was speechless for a while.

And seeing that the other side had no intention of helping, Sisyphus' interest in the two visitors also decreased sharply, and he snorted lazily.

"My friend, why are you here if you don't know each other? Have fun?"

On the hillside, the prisoner with blond hair and a feminine face narcissistically touched the single golden gemstone earring hanging on his left hanging. He leaned against the boulder with a smile and winked at the pair of golden gemstone earrings. The narrow fox eyes are a playful reminder.

"It doesn't matter if you have fun. I'm in need of a few people to chat with to relieve my boredom. Just be careful that you don't end up having fun in the end..."

"Oh, what do you say?"

Hearing Sisyphus' meaningful ridicule, Lorne couldn't help but be curious.

"Friends, this is not a place where everyone is qualified to come. Either they are prisoners who have committed serious crimes, such as me..."

Sisyphus pointed to his nose with a smile, and then looked at Lorne and Thetis in front of him playfully.

"Either they are unruly stowaways who were automatically transported to the lowest level of the underworld - Tartarus Hell by [Erebus] due to illegal crossing of the border, such as... you?"

[Erebus] means [darkness]. It is the defense system of the underworld forged by Nyx, the goddess of night. It is the first place that people must pass before entering the underworld after death. It is located between the real world and the underworld. It is essentially three paths. Dark curtain.

That's right.

The dark area that Lorne and Thetis entered through the three undersea bronze doors was the Hades defense system called Erebus in Sisyphus's mouth.

Due to their own abnormalities, he and Thetis were thrown directly to the lowest level of Hades - Tartarus.

This is the most heavily guarded prison in the underworld. Defeated titans, ancient gods and monsters, and sinners who have committed crimes are all prisoners inside. Very few characters can successfully escape.

"How to get out?"

Lorne and Thetis looked at each other and muttered with a headache

They wandered around the dark wilderness for a while. Even with the protection of the [Holy Fire], they still could not find the right direction. If they hadn't accidentally touched the vicinity of this mountain and were attracted by Sisyphus who was pushing a stone, they would not have been able to find the correct direction. I know how long I have to go in circles.

"Don't know the way? It doesn't matter. I know this place well! Where do you want to go? I'll take you there!"

Sisyphus on the side heard this, rolled his eyes, and took the initiative to come closer, appearing extremely cordial and enthusiastic.

Lorne glanced at the jingling handcuffs and shackles on Sisyphus's body with contempt.

"Are you so kind? To be honest, don't you want us to help break the shackles and take you out?"

"Haha, by the way, don't you need a guide? I happen to know how to escape from this ghost place. Everyone can get what they need without delaying each other."

Sisyphus replied with a smile, not at all ashamed that his little plan was exposed.

Thetis stopped Lorne, who was about to continue taunting him, and reminded him softly.

"He's right..."

"Right, right? This beautiful goddess is sensible. Come on, help to untie these shackles first. Be careful not to delay for too long and bump into the guard dog walking back and forth."

Sisyphus took the initiative to reach out his hands and feet, and his familiar tone and winking movements made it seem that the two parties had already hooked up.

Living people who take the initiative to enter the underworld are either fools who don't know the heights of heaven and earth, or ruthless characters with ulterior motives.

The fact that they were not lost in that original darkness proved that it was probably the latter.

When encountering this situation, of course he must seize the opportunity. He doesn't want to spend eternity in this hellish place pushing rocks.

Of course, it is best if the opponent is stupid and can help him delay the pursuers of the underworld at the critical moment.

However, the habitual fraudster who was secretly planning did not notice the gazes of Lorne and Thetis quietly meeting each other, nor the undetectable playfulness in their eyes.

Great, I took the bait...

Since they knew that this was a habitual fraudster, Lorne and Thetis would not easily believe that this guy would be so kind.

And the reason why they took the initiative to expose themselves to Sisyphus after Hypnos, the god of sleep, left was not just for politeness and to watch the show.

On the one hand, they really needed a guide to take them out of Tartarus.

The probability of finding a candidate in this barren and barren land who is relatively familiar with the underworld and will not expose them is simply lower than winning the lottery.

Not looking for opportunities to bring him into the group would be a shame for Sisyphus's positive performance.

On the other hand, someone must take the blame for disrupting the order of the underworld.

The size and length of Sisyphus are just right.

Moreover, according to the hatred value of this guy, if you encounter the underworld pursuers that you can't deal with along the way, you should first yell "Sisyphus is here" and then throw this guy out. It is guaranteed to be more effective than any type of human shield.

One of them was a bad guy, and the other was a bad guy. After successfully tricking Sisyphus, they lowered their guard slightly and took the initiative to show some kindness. They were respectively responsible for stabilizing the boulder and breaking the chains on the other side.

Lorne tugged on the chain made of orichalcum, glanced at the familiar spell chain on it, and felt reassured.

Fortunately, Sisyphus is only a demigod, so he doesn't need any high-end artifacts to serve as a restraint-type torture device.

Otherwise, even if he wanted to recruit Sisyphus, he could only say that he was helpless.

After confirming that it was not difficult to destroy this thing, Lorne was completely relieved and asked questions with great interest while analyzing the spells on the chain.

"Speaking of which, why are you teasing the gods? You should be smart enough to know the consequences of such disrespect."

"How can this be called disrespectful! I am the most pious person!"

Sisyphus was indignant when he heard this and argued with a grievance on his face.

"You see, I simply took advantage of the deception and cunning that the gods gave to humans. The more successful I am, the more it proves how excellent their creations are.

The better I am, the greater the achievements of the gods, and the more noble their existence!

So, I just express my high respect to the great creators of Olympus in a special way.

It’s okay for them not to be happy, but they actually threw me into hell for punishment. They were so petty! "

When Lorne heard this, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at this talkative fraudster.

Similar words, he seemed to have said when he met Athena...

Then, Lorne patted the dark boulder in front of Sisyphus, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"Do you regret being tortured by this meaningless labor day after day?"

Sisyphus's quibbles came to an abrupt end, but his handsome face still had a cheerful smile.

"Is it really meaningless? On the contrary, I feel very fulfilled and proud. As long as I am here, there will always be something to do.

In my opinion, what I am pushing is not a simple boulder, but a monument where humans have broken through the shackles and teased the gods. This is the greatest achievement of my life! "

When Lorne heard this, he looked at Sisyphus repeatedly for a long time and laughed heartily for a moment.

"Interesting, interesting, then I will accept your monument!"

In an instant, the outline of the [State-Building Spear] appeared in Lorne's hand, and the shimmering edge swept forward, and the shackles under the prisoner's feet snapped.

At the same time, the dark boulder disintegrated and shattered. Hundreds of light patterns floated and flickered, turning into a red-black light band that shot straight into the sky.

"Buzz!"

Circles of ripples spread out along with the hum of the ether, and the gray-black death energy around them surged like boiling water.

Various noises including bones rubbing together, undead howling, and hounds whining came and went.

"They're coming, let's go!"

Sisyphus, who had successfully escaped from the trap, roared when he saw this situation, turned into a gust of wind, threw away Lorne and Thetis, and ran forward quickly.

As we all know, when escaping for your life, you don't need to be fast, as long as you are ahead of your teammates.

And he was not only the king of Corinth, but also the son of Aiolos, the god of rain and violent winds.

The alias of their family is - [Wind Controller].

Therefore, Sisyphus was confident enough in speed.

unless……

"Whoosh!"

Just when Sisyphus was feeling complacent, a biting wind blew past him, causing the smile on his face to freeze.

Looking at the "partner" who was still far ahead despite having a burden in his arms, Sisyphus cursed secretly in his heart.

That son of a bitch like Goddess of Luck, she really allowed me to encounter the [Superspeed] of the Hermes lineage...

"Why are you dazed? Lead the way!"

Lorne glanced back at the temporary guide with a gloomy expression behind him, and took the initiative to slow down a little, keeping only a few steps ahead, as a "kindly" reminder.

"If you don't run away, those things you mentioned seem to be coming..."

Hearing this, Sisyphus was so excited that he immediately squeezed out an expression uglier than crying from his face, and then activated the wind god in his body to the extreme to start this fatal escape.

At the same time, the death fog surged above the wilderness, and the gathered spirits of the underworld screamed loudly, waving their translucent claws, and surrounded an escaped prisoner and two intruders.

The underworld beneath the three of them also vibrated and buzzed. A white skeleton climbed up from the dark soil, turned the death energy into pitch black armor, and used the white bones as swords and guns. They lined up with each other and advanced toward the center. , trying to annihilate foreign enemies.

"Its source is light, its power is fire; judgment is with sword, punishment is with fire!"

Solemn whispers echoed in the gray wilderness of death. The golden roulette appeared behind Lorne, and the pointer moved to the sixth grid.

"——I command you to regain the light!"

Accompanying the forward figure, the power of [Flame] was rhythmic, chanting the holy words, and grasping forward with curved fingers. Thousands of light-like cracks were formed in the gray wilderness, and blazing white flames spurted out from them.

In an instant, the ghost patrols and skeleton guards along the way, as well as the death aura surrounding them, evaporated and melted in the blink of an eye, turning into a wisp of smoke that drifted away in the wind.

"Hiss~!"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Sisyphus gasped and looked at the temporary partner in front of him in horror.

In one blow, hundreds of underworld patrol spirits and skeleton guards were wiped out. What is the origin of this guy?

Fortunately, he didn't do anything extraordinary. Otherwise, his small body would have been torn apart by the opponent?

Just as Sisyphus was secretly rejoicing, a low voice came from his ears.

"What's the way out? Where is it?"

"Ahead! Ferry! The underworld is intertwined and surrounded by five Styx rivers. The road is too tightly guarded to get through, but we can go to where we want to go through the waterways!"

Sisyphus replied quickly. Under the deterrence of the blow just now, he did not dare to hide it anymore and waited for the price.

"That's good……"

Lorne nodded with satisfaction, and then used the remaining power of [Flame] power to draw forward with his fingers.

Buzz!

Instantly, Hermes, Titan divine patterns, linear letters and other series of magicians were excited to the point of madness, and were willing to pursue the mysterious symbols for their whole lives. They gathered the remaining fire and turned into waterfalls of light, which flowed in all directions, just like the cabbage that can be seen everywhere, covering the ground and reflecting the sky.

Suddenly, a pure white road of light led directly to the ferry of the Styx.

The underworld patrol spirits that re-emerged in the dead air and the skeleton guards that crawled out from the ground were rejected.

Sisyphus looked at the gray-black underworld exposed in front of him, and the dense underworld patrol spirits and skeleton guards outside the pure white light path, and his evaluation of the collaborator in front of him went up a few levels.

He is also proficient in magic?

Although I don’t know where this guy came from, I must not mess with him!

“It’s right there, follow me!”

In order to show his value, Sisyphus quickly pointed to the Styx ferry in front of him and led the way.

Lorne picked up Thetis and followed decisively.

Almost there!

Seeing that the crossing of the Styx had revealed a clear outline, Sisyphus was very excited and was about to turn back to celebrate.

Unexpectedly, the temporary partner behind him kicked him more than ten meters away, and he almost fell into the surging Styx.

"You..."

Sisyphus was furious and was about to open his mouth to denounce the ruthless teammate.

"Bang!"

Unexpectedly, a black shadow with three heads and a bronze collar on his neck, as strong as an ox, rushed out of the dead fog, smashed the light path, and pounced on the place where he was before.

"Woof~!"

The attack missed, and the monster raised its three heads with a low roar, and the crystal saliva slid down from the white gums, and the six dark red eyes stared straight at the prisoner on the edge of the Styx.

The two-legged beast opposite, it smells so good.

At the same time, seeing the true appearance of the monster in front of him, Sisyphus's scalp tingled and he cursed in his heart.

Damn, the three-headed dog of Hell, Cerberus!

This stupid guard dog actually chased after me!
