Type-Moon, there are too many myths that defy the heavens!

"If I teach you black magic, not only Persephone, but even Aphrodite might attack me."

"For the sake of my life and my future, I beg you, Your Highness, to retract this idea!"

"I really don't want to die!"

Thinking of this, Ash still wants to complain: If you don't want to teach me, then don't teach me. Is it necessary to hold my legs and cry? If you don't know, you would think I bullied you!

Because he hit a wall with Hecate, Ash gave up the idea of learning magic in the underworld.

After all, Hades was the only god in the underworld who dared to mess with Persephone.

As for going to Hades to learn technology...

All Ash could say was: Persephone only had to think about sniffing catnip, but Hades wanted to play with so much more!

Anyway, Ash didn't want to become a tired pony at such a young age, so he gave up on his plan to become stronger in the underworld.

In addition, Ash also learned some other knowledge during his long time with the gods of the underworld.

For example, he discovered that the personality of the god transformed from the Mecha God would function normally in most cases, but occasionally it would exhibit some mechanical behavior like a program bug.

The reasons for their bugs can be said to be strange and varied.

Although Ash currently does not know all the ways to trigger bugs, and cannot make a systematic summary of the reasons why the mechas have bugs, he still found two situations that are most likely to trigger bugs: 1. There is a contradiction between the logic of the priesthood and the specific personality; 2. Conflict breaks out between objects of the same priority.

After understanding this, Ash also knew the best way to get along with the gods: to improve his status in the gods' hearts as much as possible, and not to do anything that violates the rules that the Mecha God will uphold.

Because of this, Ash also understood that the origin of most of the tragedies of Greek heroes was that they violated the rules that the gods who protected them wanted to maintain.

For example, Jason, who had both good and bad reputations, had a miserable life in the second half of his life because he cheated on his wife and offended Hera, the queen of heaven who protected him.

But then again, if Hera had not followed Athena's advice and asked Aphrodite to help Jason, pairing him with the naturally evil Medea as an abstract CP that tortured each other, Jason probably wouldn't have faced so many tragedies.

Therefore, obtaining the blessing of gods is not necessarily a good thing. After all, gods will occasionally do some terrible things that go against the will of heaven, and in the end the heroes have to pay the price.

Speaking of Jason and Medea, Ash felt a little sad.

In his opinion, these two people are okay when viewed individually, but they become abstract after being forced into a CP.

If possible, he really wanted to help these two people so that they wouldn't be put together to torture each other.

But Ash was just thinking about it. After all, he had no right to persuade Hera to change her mind and help Jason.

As for bypassing Hera and asking Aphrodite to spare Jason and Medea...

Ash could only say: I just like the characters Jason and Medea, but I'm not willing to sacrifice myself to Aphrodite to help them.

In short, although he did not learn any methods to become stronger in these six years, his knowledge of Greece did increase a lot.

After such a long period of classes, Ash was really tired of studying.

Now he really wants to find something to kill time and entertain himself.

Unfortunately, there are not many entertainment facilities in the entire underworld, and even in the whole of Greece there is nothing that can suit the taste of Ash, a 21st century man.

Therefore, Ash could be said to be bored to death, so bored that Persephone felt bad and wanted to do something for him.

To this end, the mistress of the underworld actually came up with two entertainment projects: "Seven-Day Tour of Paradise" and "Dare to Enter the Temple of the Underworld".

The so-called "Seven-Day Tour of Paradise" is simply to build enough tourist attractions and amusement facilities in Paradise for people to enjoy for seven days, for Ash and the residents of Paradise to enjoy.

As for "Dare to Enter the Temple of Hades", it is a game in which Ash plays the role of a warrior who bravely enters the underworld and fights from the River Styx to the Temple of the Queen of the Underworld.

Leaving aside the former of these two entertainment activities, the latter is really difficult for Ash.

Because this "Adventure in the Underworld" is so abstract: the "Bosses" he met along the way were either divine teachers like Hypnos and Thanatos, or Cerberus, the unlucky dog who had been specially trained by Persephone and would foam at the mouth and lose his fighting ability on the spot when he saw Ash. His final task to pass the level was to defeat Persephone and make her his prisoner.

As for this inexplicable adventure script, Ash really couldn't tell whether Persephone was playing tricks on the princes, or dragging the entire underworld into playing the script with him.

At least after Ash played the first game of "Invasion of Hades" and turned Persephone into a "captive" in front of her excited eyes, he never wanted to play this crappy game again.

Speaking of this mess, Ash still can't figure out one question, that is, how did Persephone come up with such an abstract game?

In short, it was torture, extreme torture.

However, Ash soon found out the origin of Persephone's inexplicable creativity.

"Ash, I found some interesting entertainment. Let's play together."

After a busy day at work, Persephone knocked on Ash's door and started to sell him a product with a smile: "This will definitely be fun, you won't be bored!"

"You'd better stop entertaining yourself." Ash took out his homemade playing cards and complained, "If you have the time, why not play poker with me?"

"This is really fun, I definitely won't let you get bored!" Persephone said, hugging Ash with a smile on her face, "If it's not fun, you can punish me!"

"Corporal punishment?" Ash looked at Persephone speechlessly and complained, "Are you sure this isn't a reward for you?"

"How, how can this be a reward?" Persephone blushed and argued, "I...I didn't expect that!"

I'm only twelve, and Persephone can already think of that kind of thing...

This can no longer be called the female version of Char, but Char should be called Little Persephone.

"...Persephone...you really are..." Ash shook his head and said helplessly, "Tell me, what new and unusual things have you prepared this time?"

"This is not a novelty, but something really interesting."

Persephone took out a crystal ball, placed it in front of Ash, and said with a smile, "This is the most powerful entertainment project in Greece!"

"The most powerful entertainment project that only comes once in a thousand years?" Ash complained, "What the hell is this?"

"Just close your eyes and put your hand on the crystal ball and you'll see," Persephone said with a smile. "You'll definitely be satisfied!"

"so smart?"

Ash closed his eyes doubtfully and reached out to touch the crystal ball.

The moment he touched the crystal ball, majestic divine energy instantly surged out from it and established a connection with Ash's consciousness.

The next moment, Ash closed his eyes and saw a vast plain and a hero hunting.

No, this person doesn't even need the title of hero. Instead, the word hero needs him to prove its worth.

He was over two meters and five feet tall, with bronze skin and a strong body covered with muscles that looked like works of art, strong yet not bloated. The aura he exuded was even more terrifying.

What a powerful and majestic man this is!

Just standing there, even if he did nothing, could make people feel a suffocating sense of oppression.

Ash didn't even know how to describe him.

If he had to say something, he could only think of one sentence: It's like a person grew on top of Invincible!

Moreover, Ash knew exactly who this invincible man he had seen was.

That’s right, he is the strongest hero in Greek history - Hercules!

I'm wondering, is this the living Uncle B?

This is so manly and handsome!

Ash looked at Hercules's incredibly tall figure and couldn't help but envy him, "It would be great if I could grow up like this."

"no!"

"Ash, you're already pretty enough!" Ash had just finished speaking when he heard Persephone's urgent retort, "You can't become, you can't become that wild!"

"Huh?" Ash was confused. "Doesn't this look good?"

"It looks good, but not as good-looking as you, Ash!"

"I don't want Ash to become like that!" Persephone cried, "Ash, you just need to be beautiful like you are now."

Oh my god, what’s the point of me being pretty? I want to be handsome!

Ash suppressed his resentment and complained to his frightened goddess, "I'm just thinking about it. It won't really turn out like that. Why are you crying?"

"Don't even think about it!" Persephone cried even louder. "If one day Father God suddenly gets inspired and answers Ash's prayer, and uses thunder to turn you into a muscular man... I... I..."

Oh my god, Zeus is so bored, can he even fulfill such a wish?

But you know what, Zeus's thunder really seems to be able to turn people into muscular men. I remember that the emperor, who was originally a beautiful boy, became a muscular man because he used too much thunder, right?

"If Persephone is unhappy, I won't think about it anymore." After complaining in his heart, Ash opened his eyes again, stroked Persephone's head skillfully, and comforted her, "I won't change drastically all of a sudden, don't worry."

Persephone actually lay on Ash's chest like a little child and asked hopefully, "Really?"

“It’s really true!”

"You really didn't lie to me?"

"You really don't trust me?" Ash couldn't hold it in any longer and said coldly, "Why don't you observe the future and see if I'll change!"

"No, no, no, no thanks!" Seeing her lover getting angry, Persephone shook her head and begged for mercy, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have distrusted Ash!"

You have to give me a bad look before I listen to you, right?

Oh, you kid.

After once again complaining about Persephone's childish behavior, Ash changed the subject and pointed at the crystal ball and asked Persephone, "So the greatest entertainment you mentioned is watching the deeds of heroes?"

“It’s more than just watching.”

"This is a stage play put together by us gods, heroes, and mortals." Hades' voice suddenly rang out in the temple. "In this stage play, heroes are the protagonists, and mortals can also be the protagonists."

"As for us gods, we are the ones who work behind the scenes, setting the stage and bringing trials and help to people."

"And the name of this stage play is—The Adventures of Hercules," Hades announced. "Now, the stage play has officially begun!"

Chapter 20: I was just watching a reality show, why is it on the news?

"A stage play?"

"Are you sure this isn't some massive live-action drama from the Age of Gods?" Ash quipped to Hades, "Aren't you afraid Hercules will get mad if you're doing this so openly?"

"angry?"

“Life is nothing but a series of stage plays. Everyone on the stage has his or her own play. The only difference is the length, height and pitch.”

"Since we're all going to perform on stage, why not aim for the highest stage?" Hades' voice echoed through the hall. "The highest stage is what we're waiting for."

"If it were you, wouldn't you want to step onto the highest stage and become the brightest star?"

Step onto the highest stage and become the brightest star?

I think you want to expose me in front of the gods, and then involve me in the struggle, so as to increase the strength of Persephone and completely upgrade her to the mistress of the underworld, so that you can be a hands-off boss!

"I really don't like being looked at." Ash was not at all instigated by Hades and turned the tables on him, saying, "Could you please stop playing tricks and speak normally?"

"of course can."

The curtain of the Temple of the Queen of the Underworld was pulled open by a slender hand, and a woman as mysterious as the dark night walked into the door and came in front of Ash.

A broken black crown hung on her head, and she was wearing an elegant black dress. Her long black hair cascaded down behind her. Her delicate face was as quiet and mysterious as the night, but her black eyes shone with a joyful and dangerous red glow.

This is undoubtedly a dangerous and beautiful woman who is extremely compatible with darkness.

Facing this woman, Ash not only did not have any appreciation for her beauty, but was extremely uncomfortable.

Ash was silent for a moment before confirming, "...Hades?"

"That's right." The corners of the beauty's mouth curved slightly, "It's me."

"You...you don't have a divine body?" Ash complained in astonishment, "How did you become like this?"

"As long as my true body remains, I can build a divine body at any time." Hades raised her skirt and saluted politely. "How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

No, sister, can I answer this question?

I was just saying in my head that I was going to turn you into someone like Arturo, but you actually did that?

3

Damn, you Greek mechas with an average age of four digits are too annoying!

Ash tried hard to keep a straight face and turned to look at Persephone who had been silent beside him.

At this moment, the mistress of the underworld, who always acted like a loveless child in front of her lovers, had an extremely gloomy expression on her face, and her agate-like eyes flashed with an even brighter red light, like a landmine about to explode.

"Hades..." Persephone smiled at the former Lord of the Underworld and asked in a tone so gentle it was chilling, "You look like this... are you trying to seduce someone?"

In the face of Persephone's kind questioning, Hades was not afraid. Instead, he winked at Ash and asked, "Who do you think I can seduce?"

I'm confused, are you trying to draw the thunder towards me?
