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

"So……"

The King of the Underworld bowed gracefully and said with a smile, "Let's meet again in Eleusis~"

With that, a black light engulfed Hades and Ash, sending them back to Eleusis, leaving the three goddesses disheveled in the wind.

Subsequently.

"Hades!"

The three goddesses, disheveled in the wind, let out a sharp explosion.

Chapter 69: Hades' Paradise Plan

"I was saying, sooner or later you'll need me, right?"

Outside the city of Eleusis, Hades teased, "Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"You say that as if I never believed you."

Ash straightened his clothes and complained, "Let's not talk about Ariadne and Aphaia for now. Poseidon was able to turn into Elidia so quickly and pursue me. You must have been interfering, right?"

"Oh?"

Hades's mouth curled up slightly, like a crow gloating over something else, and he smiled cunningly, "You found out?"

“It would be strange if we didn’t find out!”

Ash grumbled angrily, "Persephone is busy with all the work in the underworld. She's so busy she barely has time to chat with me on the phone. And yet you, with all your free time, haven't bothered me at all... If you weren't causing trouble, would you still be yourself?"

"Haha, it's true."

Hades' smile became happier and brighter, like a blooming black rose, dangerous and charming.

"are you angry?"

Hades opened his arms and chest like a prisoner awaiting punishment, and addressed his chosen judge, "If you're angry, take it out on me."

“You can do this anytime, anywhere.”

Hades smiled and said, "Because it is a privilege I grant you."

Ash looked at Hades, and at her beautiful face and charming body that was quietly born in response to his desires, which was like a combination of a witch and a fallen angel, and he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

He could believe that everything Hades said was true.

For this god who is about to be completely assimilated into the underworld and become the underworld itself, so-called faith and personality have long been meaningless. She does not care about the attitudes and gazes of others, let alone the dignity of the gods.

but.

"If possible, I hope to replace it with some corporal punishment that is more suitable for indoor use and can provide labor value or productivity."

The King of the Underworld winked playfully and said meaningfully, "For example... the divine right of [Revenge]... which is governed by the Underworld and seeks justice for the dead... hasn't yet found a suitable carrier."

I was wondering why the goddess of vengeance, Erinyes, wasn't in the underworld yet. It seems you were waiting for me here?

Good heavens, your abacus beads are hitting me in the face!

"I'm not that angry."

Ash said speechlessly, "Besides, if I use this kind of corporal punishment, wouldn't that be a reward for you?"

"How can you call this a reward?"

Hades' expression turned serious, and he said seriously, "I'm also thinking about making the underworld bigger and stronger, so that Persephone can be more easily managed."

"You are invincible."

Faced with the King of the Underworld's shameless statement, Ash couldn't help but complain, "Instead of creating the Erinyes with you, I might as well go find Persephone. Then I can give her a holiday and let you come to work."

"Hey, is it still possible?"

Hades feigned surprise upon hearing this and said, "But... if it was you and Persephone, Melinoe would have been born first, right? After all, she is Persephone's daughter."

"Not sisters?"

Ash couldn't hold it in any longer. "You're really good at keeping up this conversation. Why don't you talk about Zagreus? Isn't that Persephone's eldest son?"

"Zagreos..."

The King of the Underworld froze for a moment, then revealed a surprised expression, as if he had seen a grown-up child. He exclaimed, "Aren't you unfamiliar with Greek mythology? How do you know such an unpopular god?"

Nonsense, although I am blind to mythology, I have played the game "Hades"!

Isn’t the protagonist of the game “Hades” Zagreus, the son of Persephone?

Although Ash wanted to say this, he gave up the idea because it would give Hades an opportunity to attack his mythology blindness. Instead, he asked, "Does knowing this name surprise you so much?"

"Well, a little bit."

Hades nodded and said, "The myth of Zagreus does exist in Greece, but it has no real entity."

"He is a concept that aligns with the God of Resurrection, a general term."

Hades explained, "In Egyptian mythology, he is on the same level as Osiris, who transformed from a god of agriculture to a god of the underworld, and is also a symbol of the king of gods."

"so……"

Ash listened to Hades' explanation and couldn't help but complain, "He also has the appearance of a God King?"

"That's true in theory."

Hades smiled and said, "But that's just Egyptian mythology, and a concept held by a small number of believers in the god of resurrection."

"That's all Zagreus is actually."

Hades smiled and said, "The future God King will only count after he ascends to the throne in the future. Zeus is the present, past, and future Greek God King."

"Even if Greece fell and Rome rose to power, it was still Jupiter who was considered the God-King."

Hades went on to say, "Even though there are countless permutations and combinations of the Roman Triad, the only constant is Jupiter."

"I've heard countless times that Zeus is the most powerful Greek. Hurry and serve him."

Ash complained, "Also... by praising Zeus so much, aren't you also praising yourself in disguise?"

"If it weren't for this, why would I be blowing Zeus's trumpet?"

Hades said proudly, "The biggest difference between Zeus and me is the Crown of Kronos and Thunder~"

"Okay, okay, stop bragging about yourself."

Ash corrected the subject, "You said Zagreus is a concept... What do you mean by that?"

"That's what it means."

Hades continued, "In many myths, there are concepts that are regarded as gods by people, but cannot give birth to specific personalities."

"These concepts are generally human beings' misunderstanding and worship of the world, or they are too broad to be anchored in the context of a specific personality."

"The Nordic concepts of Orlaug's [Fate] and Ymir's [World] are similar."

Hades gave an example, "Similarly, Egypt's [Supreme Sun] - Ra is the same existence."

"I can understand Orlaug and Ymir..."

Ash questioned, "But doesn't Ra have a personality story? How can He also be a concept?"

"Because Egypt has too many suns."

Hades said, "In Egypt, the main god who becomes the king of gods will possess the godhood of the sun god."

"Whether it's Osiris, who originally represented [Spring] and [Agriculture], Set, who represented [Storm] and [War], Horus, who represented [Sky] and [Revenge], or the future Aten and Amun, or even those pharaohs who claimed to be human gods..."

"When their divine authority reaches its peak, they will all attain the godhood of the Sun and be honored with the title of Ra."

Hades smiled and said, "Even the gods and queens of all generations would be given the name of Ra's daughters and Sekhmet, his female incarnation, as their husbands became more powerful."

"If Ra were a god with a specific personality... what would the Egyptian pantheon look like?"

"Uh……"

Ash tried to imagine that all the gods in Egyptian mythology were [Ra]. That could be said to be [Ra] killing, weeding and giving birth to himself!

If that's the case, then the story content is probably even more extreme than the extreme zone, and a hell scroll that's even more R18G than R18G!

"It seems that you have understood what I said."

Hades looked at Ash's tense expression and said with a smile, "Now you can understand why some concepts cannot become personal gods, right?"

"Ah."

Ash nodded honestly, "If this can lead to the existence of a personal God, then it will be a mess."

"anyway……"

Ash pondered for a moment and offered another answer. "Since certain concepts have multiple divinities and personalities, does that mean that gods possessing some of these divinities can integrate with each other and become a unified god?"

The reason why Ash asked this question was because he had learned from the battle mysteries taught by the Templar Church that "Zeus" was the etymology and prototype of "God (Deus)".

In other words, God may be a powerful entity that was born by devouring all divinity, or one of the origins of all divinity.

In response to Ash's question, Hades once again revealed a surprised expression: "I never thought... you'd be surprisingly knowledgeable about this."

“This isn’t normal.”

Ash complained, "Leveling up and fighting beasts are the parts that Yue Chou has to appreciate. I definitely want to know."

"Ash, you're talking weird again."

Hades grumbled, then continued, "However, if there truly were a god who could devour all other gods whose divinity was mixed with their own, integrating themselves into a composite god, they would naturally become a unified god."

"Take Ra for example. If the separation of gods and non-humans is inevitable, then it is indeed possible that the Egyptian gods could be integrated into Amun-Ra."

Hades gave an example, "If Zeus had used the Crown of Kronos to merge with us in order to defeat White Destruction, he would have become the Unified God Zeus."

"even……"

Hades looked at Ash and said with a smile, "You can also become stronger this way."

"what?"

Ash was a little confused when he heard this, and asked in confusion, "I'm just a [plant] god, what kind of divinity can I devour?"

"Although [Plants] is a more specific, and therefore lower-level, divinity, it has many different types, and can be integrated upwards into [Agriculture], [Animal Husbandry], and [Spring] gods."

"For example, Helen, the maid Aphrodite arranged for you, is the goddess of plants."

Hades smiled and said, "You can absorb her divinity as a [plant] and retain her divinity as [Son of Zeus] to become stronger."

"I believe Helen would be happy to offer the divinity of [the plant]."

Hades continued, "Because even if you don't absorb her divinity as the Goddess of Plants, she will eventually become the Son of Zeus."

"But if you do this, she will probably charge some money..."

At this point, Hades showed a sly smile: "I think she will ask you to bring her the continuation of her life - Hermione."

"The continuation of life..."

Ash pondered Hades' metaphor, "You mean... her child?"

"Hermione is Helen's daughter and her only child, the continuation of her life."

Hades added, "She's your maid now. If you don't help her prolong her life, who will?"

"No, sister...are you a reproductive cancer? Why is your mind always on that?"

Ash couldn't hold it in any longer. "If I really helped Helen to have Hermione born... wouldn't you feel bad?"

"As long as you can bring the Erinyes into being, I won't be sad."

Hades spread his hands and said with a smile, "Helen can't affect my status."

"...I suspect you're leading me astray. What you just said is the best evidence!"

Ash couldn't help but ask, "What good will it do you if you lead me astray like this?"

"The good thing is, I'll be happy."

Hades raised the corner of his mouth and smiled happily, "Don't you want to become stronger and have it all?"

"I'm a normal man too, so of course I want this."

Ash complained, "But if I really want to do this, I might as well absorb your divinity first. Wouldn't that be more efficient?"
