Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator.

Chapter 622 Three to One and Charon

"That is……"

[Ancient Evil·Crown of Silence]!
Even before it arrived, Hercules recognized the source of that power.

Unlike other creatures of its kind, this ancient evil creature tainted with the aura of eternal night is not so keen on fighting and combat.

It just stays quietly in its own territory, equally destroying any life that violates its "silent" rule.

Few people have seen its true appearance, and few are willing to face this unspeakable horror.

Because even though the [Crown of Silence] never actively kills people, as long as you can follow its rules, you can move freely within its territory...but that is actually a false proposition.

The silence of the ancient evil is eternal relative quiet.

It will send down a force that will make the noise you make at this moment always smaller than the noise you made at the previous moment.

As long as you don't go against this force, you are in compliance with its rules.

This is very easy for those who stray into the game at first.

It’s just about speaking softly, slowing down your pace, and trying not to make any noise...but as time goes by, this horror will strike your heart.

From the words on your lips to the beating of your heart.

From the noises made in the outside world to the friction between muscles and bones.

Eventually, even thoughts will be targeted by the omnipresent force, causing them to gradually stagnate and remain in a certain moment forever.

At this point, the ancient evil creature whose power cannot yet spread across time and space will stop its actions and acknowledge that you comply with its rules.

Of course, correspondingly, a living being will also disappear.

All the "movements" he left in this world will become the source of power for the ancient evil.

His face was serious and solemn, and Hercules did not expect to meet the other party.

In his impression, this terrifying existence had been defeated by the king of the underworld long ago, and the power of the entire interface was mobilized to suppress it.

Logically speaking, it should no longer be able to be active in the world...but after a moment, the great hero understood the reason.

"This is not its true form, but it is not a simple clone either."

"This is a unique incarnation created by it using the 'movement and stillness' it has absorbed from the world."

"And the reason it came here was not me, but this harp formed by the power of the Land of Eternal Night..."

Under normal circumstances, the [Crown of Silence] will not actively attack external entities unless something is attracting it.

Taking a deep breath, two powerful enemies appeared before him at the same time, and even Hercules felt the pressure.

But at this moment, his expression suddenly changed.

Within his perception range, another breath rose up.

"Is that——[Ancient Evil Item: Flesh and Blood Corridor]?"

Ander was equally shocked. He did not expect that there would be three ancient evil creatures gathered at the edge of the tiny underworld.

"I see, there's a hole in Hera's seal!"

"Long ago, the goddess of wisdom, who was still active in the world, and Hera, the queen of heaven, worked together to dismember the [Corridor of Flesh and Blood] that was ravaging the earth." (See 3-402)

"I don't know how many pieces they divided this ancient evil into, and where they suppressed them respectively."

"But apparently, some of them were sealed by Hera in the underworld, a place that the gods regard as a wild land."

"And now she must have had some problems, which caused the seal to be broken!"

It was not clear whether Hera had used her authority as the Queen of Heaven to spy on the mother tree that was receiving sacrifices not long ago, but Ander could roughly see the reason.

It's just that it can be seen, but it doesn't affect the current situation they are facing.

"Hercules, the [Flesh and Blood Corridor] is coming for you. Your blood and body have already reached the pinnacle. The [Thousand-Faced Soul Eater] should just be attracted here. As long as we can find its trace, even if we can't defeat it, I have a way to use puppets to forge a large number of 'fake souls' to lure it away."

"As for the [Crown of Silence], you have to find a way to deal with the harp in your hand..."

Quickly come up with a solution, and Ander is a little nervous at the moment.

Although two of the three ancient evil creatures are incarnations and the only one has been defeated by the spirit world many times, this still does not affect their terrifyingness.

Possessing an indestructible essence, there are few people in this world who can deal with them... But at this moment, Dionysus suddenly spoke:

"Hercules, I am sure I can handle the last one!"

"I once watched Amon fall in front of me. This time, I won't give them another chance!"

"it is good!"

Without hesitation, the great hero spoke in a deep voice.

Glancing around, he made some changes to the puppet's plan in his mind.

"Ander, you take the harp and use your puppet to lead the Crown of Silence away."

"Since Dionysus said he can deal with the [Flesh and Blood Corridor], then I believe in his ability."

"As for me……"

Looking at the end of the gray earth, the illusory life has gradually emerged.

He saw countless hideous and distorted faces roaring, struggling, and shouting madly inside a huge and indescribable body.

There are old people, women and children.

There are nobles, commoners, and robbers.

Whether good or bad, no matter who they were in their previous lives, they now have only one ending, which is to exist as part of the ancient evil.

At least Hercules still had the possibility of entering the spirit world and resurrecting the dead... and the best outcome for them would be to be transformed into pure spiritual energy, which would be recycled by the spirit world again and molded into new souls.

hum-

On the chest, a small tattoo turns from virtual to real.

That is the [Golden Scales] and also the [Scales of Justice].

As its user, Hercules could naturally use it not only to measure the weight on both ends of the scale... With a thought, his originally vast and magnificent energy and blood disappeared and turned into some special power.

The damage inflicted on entities is converted into damage inflicted on intangible entities, and the damage inflicted on the mind is converted into damage inflicted on the body.

With Ander's divine power to activate this artifact, Hercules immediately gained the qualification to fight with the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater.

As the most powerful warrior in the world, it is difficult for him to exert all his strength when facing spirits.

But with the [Golden Balance], these problems are no longer a problem.

……

The land of the underworld is vast and boundless. Although it is not as vast as the human world, it does not have the same strong order as the human world.

The gods can exert considerable power here, especially Hades who possesses the authority of the underworld.

After all, whether it was the change of eras or the Typhon Rebellion, this place had never been the main battlefield.

So Hades left the newly built Palace of Pluto alone and walked silently along the River Styx.

Not Styx, but Acheron, the ancient river Styx that was most closely related to him and was even born with him.

The surging river water is turbulent, and it is connected to a little power from the underworld.

Although the River of Pain occupies less than half of the core authority in the underworld, in many cases, having and not having are two different concepts.

As long as he has it, Akron can do many things that others cannot do. This is one of the privileges of being the Styx... At a certain moment, looking at the sudden rise of the copper pillar and the vibration in a corner of the underworld, Hades looked indifferent.

As the god of the underworld, a true god who possesses much of the power in the underworld simply by virtue of his priesthood, it is impossible for him to turn a blind eye to these things that are almost clinging to his body.

Pluto doesn't care about these because there is no need for him to manage them.

After all, as Zeus's brother, Hades knows too well what the other is thinking.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to do anything for you?"

The river swirled slightly and a raft emerged from it.

Holding the long pole, only crystal white bones were left in his left hand under the gray robe.

Charon, the ferryman of the Styx, saluted respectfully and paid the highest respect to Hades.

Thousands of years have passed, and now he is no longer the weak and pathetic ferryman.

A powerful divine power fluctuated within him, and a hint of darkness, death, disease, and aging swirled within him.

Yet he is not similar to Gerasus, the real god of aging, and Apollo and Artemis, who have the power to spread and cure plague.

Because in fact, Chaos, the god of aging, has never been involved in death. It is more of an existence that contrasts with the power of the goddess of youth.

The two were even born one after the other, with their powers restraining each other.

Apollo and Artemis are not the real gods of plague. Even the imagery of Pandora is much closer to the plague itself than theirs.

This result may be related to the fact that Chaos does not naturally have a strong power of "Death", so many of the forces associated with it are far less powerful than those in other worlds.

But now Charon is obviously an exception. In him, those unique areas are connected together, as if they should be like this.

Tread-

Stop and stand by the river.

Looking at the few subordinates who were willing to follow his orders rather than those of Zeus or the Dark Lord, Hades showed a stiff smile.

He was not used to laughing because the world rarely gave him the opportunity to laugh.

"No need, let them fight on their own."

"Hercules, son of Zeus... I have noticed this mortal warrior ever since he defeated the lion."

"If he is not the son of the God King, perhaps he can become another Evans and become my right-hand man in the underworld."

"What a shame, Zeus paid enough attention to him, just like that human named Perseus."

"If he had not achieved certain goals in advance and then sent out temptations and challenges to the spirit world first, perhaps this human would not have simply come to the underworld, but would have served as a sharp sword of Zeus to provoke and demonstrate to me."

Hades was not very clear about what support Zeus suddenly got that made him dare to take this step ahead of time.

However, he guessed that it was probably related to the powerful will from Tartarus that he had felt not long ago.

If that person did not exist, Zeus would most likely have to repeatedly test his attitude, use this human to create various conflicts, and then provoke his resistance, and finally punish him in the name of justice; or if he continued to endure, the other party could also take the opportunity to use the young man following Hercules as an anchor point and extend his royal power little by little.

But all plans are not fixed. When the God King realized that he had a better, simpler and more brutal solution, he made changes accordingly.

Obviously, facing the threat from a great being in the abyss, Pluto had to make compromises.

"Well, there's no need to pay attention to their affairs."

"Whether it's that human or the god with the royal aura following him, they are all just pawns of Zeus - of course, maybe in the eyes of others, I am too."

"But as the Lord of the Underworld, I can at least change my perspective and take a look from outside the chessboard... So, Charon, how are you doing with what I asked you to do?"

"Your Majesty," Charon spoke respectfully, with only 'loyalty' on his old face: "As you wish, everything is currently proceeding."

"As long as your 'prophecy' comes true, the God King of Olympus will no longer be able to do anything to you."

"Ah."

He nodded slowly. Even though Hades never discovered that he had any prophetic abilities since then, a god's dream would not happen without reason, especially for a god as powerful as him.

So even though we still haven't found out who the alias of the being who caused the sun to fall and dragged his body under the sun for seven days until he died was, Pluto didn't think it was fake.

"So Charon, do you have anything else to say?"

Noticing his subordinate's hesitant expression, Hades asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Charon lowered his head slightly and gave him a very interesting answer.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Not long ago, I picked up a human with the power of Styx and Thunder remaining on him."

"It seems that he was brushed by the divine weapon of the God King - this should have killed him instantly."

"But part of the power of the Styx water saved his life, allowing him to survive in another special form after giving up his physical body."

"I felt that this use of the power of the Styx was very special. It seemed to be imitating the human named Achilles... so I captured him and imprisoned him in a nearby prison."

"Oh?"

After listening to the previous content, Hades had no reaction yet.

It was not until the name Achilles sounded that he finally took it seriously.

Even the gods are helpless against him as a mere mortal, and even Zeus's divine weapon can't do anything to him. How great it would be if this kind of power could be used on the undead.

Although he could not command Styx, Acheron might as well give it a try.

"good very good."

"Save his life. I will go see him in person later."

His expression was serious. Even though he was a god and the other party was just a human, Hades didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Looking at the underworld, he didn't have many gods under him.

Whether he likes it or not, he has long been accustomed to it.
