Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

In the Temple of Hades, the Queen of Hades sits alone on the silver throne.

Next to her, the throne of Hades, made of bones, blood and undead, which belonged to Hades, was empty.

All the gods of the underworld have arrived.

In the first row on the right, Thanatos, the god of death, Hypnos, the god of sleep, the third judge of the underworld, and Charon the boatman.

First row on the left. Styx, the goddess of the river Styx, and her children, Zagreos, Melinoe, and Taelia.

After that, there are many low-level gods such as the God of Corruption.

The abyss is about to awaken for the third time.

When he woke up for the first time, there were just some traces of abyss monsters, nothing serious.

When he woke up for the second time, an abyss monster appeared in the underworld and was cleared away.

But it is said that in the deepest part of the underworld, the monsters captured the palace of the son of Hades. It was the Queen of the Underworld who went deep into it alone and suppressed all the monsters with her own power.

The third awakening is about to begin, which will be a hundred times more terrifying than the last time.

This is the most important meeting in Hades in the past ten thousand years.

Many gods stood respectfully in silence.

On the throne, the Queen of Hades sat there, lowering her head and stroking the cat in her arms.

The cat only flicks its tail occasionally.

The gods said nothing, and the hall fell into a long silence.

Finally, the pale boy with maggot eyes, Thanatos, the God of Death, couldn't bear it any longer.

He gritted his teeth, stood out of the queue, looked at the Queen of Hades, and asked loudly: "Queen of Hades, do you really want all the troops to evacuate?"

As the God of Death, Thanatos controls the power of death. He is one of the most important gods in the underworld and the most powerful being besides Hades.

It is said that he can even compete with the Queen of Hades.

"Yes." Minghou didn't even raise her head.

As soon as these words came out, the temple suddenly roared!

There have been rumors for a long time that the Queen of the Underworld is planning to disband all the armies of the underworld, and now it has been confirmed personally at the meeting of the gods!

"This is really unwise! Please think deeply!"

"The war is about to begin. The first order is to disband the Hades army?"

"Why should we shoot arrows at ourselves before the battle begins?"

"The demon of the abyss covers the sky and the sun, how to resist it?!"

For a time, many gods were talking about it, and all kinds of quarrels came and went.

The Queen of Hades raised her head, her sharp eyes scanning the gods.

But for an instant, there was silence in the hall, and all the gods lowered their heads.

Only Thanatos was still standing there. He looked at the Queen of Hades with neither humility nor arrogance: "Dear Queen of Hades, even the greatest minds will make mistakes. Even Metis, the God of Wisdom, cannot calculate her fate."

"The underworld is so vast. How can we resist the demons if we disband the army?"

Without saying a word, the Queen of Hades raised her hand and shook it, and the sound of metal friction suddenly sounded.

Divine power floated on her four fingers, condensing into four chains and connecting them into the air.

Boom!

The main hall shook, countless shadows condensed on the dome, and then four harpies appeared!

They are the four harpies named [Heavy Rain], [Black Storm], [Flying], and [Speeding]!

Four harpies fell to the ground, with chains passed through their noses. The chains were held in the hands of Hades, obviously becoming her slaves.

The gods looked at the harpy with incredible expressions on their faces!

"The four great harpies—each possesses the power of a superior god!"

"This is the beloved daughter of Echidna, the Mother of Monsters! She actually became the messenger of the Queen of the Underworld?"

"Echidna has a cruel temperament and will surely retaliate. The Queen of the Underworld actually..."

Thanatos stared at the Harpy, his face expressionless, but deep inside, there was an earthquake.

"Is it true as the rumors say... The Queen of Hades got the four harpies as messengers! Moreover, these four harpies were not captured by the Queen of Hades herself, but -!"

He looked at the cat lying on Pluto's lap, "He caught it!"

"Has his strength reached this level? He can defeat four high-ranking gods on his own!"

"Even I...I'm afraid I can't do it!"

The cat is lazy and seems to be sleeping.

At this moment, the soft voice of the Queen of Hades sounded.

"Thanatos."

"Yes." Thanatos lowered his head.

"I have already sent four harpies to investigate the abyss." The Queen of Hades slowly turned her head to the harpies: "Tell me what you found."

The harpy lowered her head: "Dear Queen of the Underworld, we hide ourselves and explore in the abyss. The third awakening of the abyss is about to begin."

"Powerful abyss monsters are emerging."

"They have only one goal, the Temple of Hades."

"The Temple of Hades." The Queen of Hades smiled, "Did you hear that, Thanatos?"

"We only need to guard the Temple of Hades. We don't need to fight in the vast and endless underworld. We don't need an army."

"Moreover, the ordinary Hades army cannot compete with the monsters of the abyss. They will die, and their death will be meaningless."

"Even if they make a little resistance, it will consume the demon's energy." Thanatos said.

"No. They are creatures of the underworld and are under my protection. They cannot die meaninglessly."

"Dear Queen of the Underworld! We have recruited and trained this army for a long time, isn't it just for this moment? They are already prepared to die for you!"

"No." Queen Hades said.

Thanatos was about to say something else, but at this moment, Xupunos, the god of sleep, came out, and the soothing fragrance around him immediately silenced the gods.

He grabbed Thanatos' hand and told him to step back.

Then he looked at the Queen of Hades: "Dear Queen of Hades."

"Are you really unwilling to ask Olympus for help? I believe God King Zeus will be willing to take action."

When the gods heard this, their eyes widened.

Seeking help from Olympus is the first reaction of the gods!

God King Zeus is unparalleled in power. Once he takes action, he suppresses the abyss like an eagle hunting young birds on the ground.

There is no need to fight or bleed in the underworld.

This is the easiest and easiest way!

However, the relationship between the three giants of the underworld, the world of gods, and the ocean has always been bad. This idea was just buried in the hearts of the gods. No one dared to say it out, but unexpectedly, the God of Sleep said it!

All the gods looked at the Queen of Hades with bright eyes, looking forward to her answer.

With just a word from her, all battles could be avoided and the underworld would be safe.

"Olympus." The Queen of Hades turned her head and looked at the empty throne next to her, which belonged to Hades.

"Once the power of Olympus enters the underworld, it never leaves."

"My husband, my king Hades, gave me the underworld before he fell asleep."

"How can I give him back the land that was so quickly defiled by Olympus?"

"Don't ask this question again."

"Before I get angry. Hypnos, stand down."

The Queen of Hades' words were so serious and she was vaguely angry that the gods could not help but tremble in their hearts and did not dare to utter a word.

The God of Sleep bowed his head and bowed, then returned to the queue.

"If you are unwilling to send an army," a god walked out from among the gods. He had four arms around him, as huge and heavy as a mountain.

The son of the god Styx, the brother of Nike and Bea, Clothos, the god of strength.

He knelt down on one knee and looked at the Queen of Hades on the throne: "Queen of Hades, please sacrifice two-thirds of the creatures in the underworld and turn them into power."

"The big sacrifice is enough to suppress this awakening. Wait until our king, Hades, awakens."

As soon as these words came out, the temple was boiling again!

"That's right! Great sacrifice! Why didn't I think of that!"

"Although the underworld is barren, there are still thousands of creatures living here! Sacrifice them and turn them into the power of the dead. Then it will be easy to defeat the abyss monsters."

"That way we can survive this crisis safely! Once Hades wakes up, everything will be at ease!"

"You can also save the army of Hades!"

"Dear Queen of the Underworld, please consider Clothos' proposal!"

Amidst the excitement among the gods, the Queen of Hades just raised her hand and pressed it, and the gods became quiet.

"Haha... Do you want to make a big sacrifice for victory?"

The Queen of Hades shook her head, and she said softly, "Klotus, the price of victory cannot exceed the victory itself."

"What's more, how can I let thousands of creatures in the underworld die for me."

"If I really want to sacrifice them, why not burn the source of my divine power completely and let me die for them."

As soon as these words came out, the temple was extremely quiet, and then the sky was filled with excitement, almost overturning the dome.

"Dear Queen of Hades, what do you mean?"

"Ordinary creatures are so lowly, without the source of divine power, and there are many beasts, stupid, blind, and without wisdom. You died for them?"

"You are of Titan blood, the daughter of the God King, and the wife of Hades. How can you die for an ordinary creature?"

"Great Queen of Hades, if other gods die, you can bring them back from the other side of the River Styx. But if you die, who can bring you back?"

"Queen of Hades, please evacuate towards the River Styx and wait for Pluto to wake up! After Pluto wakes up, everything will be fine!"

This time, the Queen of Hades did not speak. She just smiled, stroked the cat in her arms, and waited for a long time until all the noise disappeared.

She still lowered her head, "Are you finished?"

"Then, obey my orders."

The two words "Edict" carry the divine power of the Supreme Shadow, and even more, the power of the Supreme King.

A huge phantom appeared behind the Queen of Hades, with three generations of god kings standing tall.

The power of the king condensed into a crown and fell on her forehead.

The terrifying and majestic power of the king made all the gods present kneel down.

After Hades put the cat on the seat and stood up.

She looked at the gods.

"The Hades army will all disband immediately and return to their tribes to try their best to protect the safety of the tribes."

"And, Styx."

"Here." Styx, the God of Styx, raised his head.

"You and your children, Bea, the god of violence, Clothos, the god of strength, and Zelos, the victorious god, guard the Netherworld Mountains."

The Netherworld Mountains lead to the east gate of the God King's palace.

"Thanatos, Hypnos."

"Here." The God of Death and the God of Sleep raised their heads together.

"You two, guard the Pale Flower Plain."

Pale Flower Plain, leading to the west gate of the Temple of Hades.

"Minos, Aeacus, Rhadamanthys, Charon."

"Yes." The third judge of the underworld and the boatman of the underworld raised their heads.

"You guard the place surrounded by the five rivers of Styx."

The place surrounded by the five Styx rivers leads to the south gate of the Temple of Hades.

"Melinoe, Taliyah."

"Yes." The sons of Hades raised their heads.

"Fly high in the sky and observe the surroundings. If there is danger in any direction, rush to support immediately."

At this moment, the gods couldn't help but fall into doubt.

And their doubts were immediately answered.

The Queen of Hades said slowly.

"I guard the Dragon Bones Cemetery."

The Dragon Bones Cemetery leads to the north gate of the Temple of Hades, which is the main entrance.

That must be the main attack direction of the abyss demons, the most dangerous place.

The Queen of Hades raised her hand, and buzz... the divine light floated.

Countless undead souls condensed into a short sword, the sword body was constantly floating, and the hilt was made of bones.

The Queen of Hades said slowly: "The Pale King, the owner of death, the master of thousands of dead souls, the king of the underworld, my husband Hades, gave me this sword before falling asleep."

"The source of divine power of a god who is stabbed will be eaten by countless undead spirits, and then turned into pieces."

"Zaglios, take this sword."

"yes……."

In the distance, Zagreos, the son of the underworld, suddenly raised his head. He slowly stepped forward and took the sword.

"You don't need to fight." The Queen of Hades looked into his eyes.

"Observe the battlefield with your heart and eyes. If any god is timid and takes a step back, take this sword and kill it."

"Yes." Zagreos nodded heavily.

"including me."

"..." Zagreos took an incredible step back and muttered: "No... mother."

"Swear! Use the power of [Covenant], swear!" The Queen of the Underworld roared.

Buzz!

The divine power soared from Zagreos and shot straight into the sky, entangled with thousands of threads of fate.

Zagreos made a pact that he would stab to death any god who took a step back, including the Queen of Hades herself.

All the gods are watching.

"Queen of Hades, one last question." Thanatos held the scythe and said softly: "What will happen if we all die in battle."

The Queen of Hades said softly: "Then let our king, Hades, wake up on our bones."

"And he will create the underworld again on his own."

On the seat far away, the cat wagged its tail.

…

In the abyss.

A girl with twelve pairs of eyes, all of her eyeballs fell off and were flying around her.

Blood flowed from the eye sockets and continued to fall to the ground.

Then, the earth trembled and divine power floated in the distance.

The pure power of the abyss, the pure power of the earth, and the power of thousands of chaos and flesh and blood merged together and turned into pure demonic power.

The power of Typhon, the king of demons, has officially taken shape.

The power of the demon turned into a demon knight.

The knight wears a bloody armor woven from the heart and stomach, the gun in his hand is thousands of arms, and behind him are wings composed of bloody intestines.

"Huh..." He breathed softly, and immediately, all the demons, snakes of intestines, lions of earthworms, etc. within a radius of one hundred thousand miles were all turned into pieces and sucked into his belly.

"Huh..." He exhaled, and thousands of flies spewed out from his mouth. The flies flew into the air, forming a huge dragon of flies.

The dragons of flies slowly flew down, lowering their heads.

The knight steps on their heads, mounts the dragon of flies, and becomes his mount.

Then, the second demon knight appeared, the third demon knight appeared, and the fourth.

Boom...

In the sky, there were countless fly dragons floating, and terrifying demonic power erupted around them.

But they were just swimming in the air without really setting off, as if they were waiting for something.

After a long time, the girl suddenly raised her head.

Her twelve empty eye sockets stared into the sky.

She whispered: "My child. Awakening for the third time."

"Let's go out and have some fun."

Countless demon knights burst out with earth-shattering roars. They spread their gut wings and flew into the air!

Countless demon knights appeared in the Netherworld Mountains, Pale Flower Plain, and the place surrounded by the five Styx rivers.

In the Dragon Bone Cemetery, at the north gate of the Temple of Hades, the goddess floats alone in the air.

There are twelve huge shadow wings behind her, and she holds the Minghua Spear in her hand.

She looked at the thousands of demon knights in front of her.

Without a moment's hesitation, the goddess rose into the sky and attacked the knight.
