Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

But since the other party doesn't say anything, let's just assume that she is the water fairy Mingta.

"Yes...Do you need me to lead you forward, my hero?" Persephone subconsciously changed the subject.

Ye agreed. He wanted to see where the other party would lead him.

Then Persephone led the way, her peachy buttocks, the curves of which were clearly revealed by the cloak that tightly bound her waist.

The slight grooves on the back, the twisting hips and the long, slender legs make this figure so amazing.

Although the authenticity of her identity remains to be verified, judging from her figure, which can only be compared to that of the goddess of beauty when she descends in the form of Venus, she is indeed very plump and worthy of the title of water fairy. No wonder even Hades lamented and pitied her death.

Night followed behind without hesitation, taking in the curves and curves of the woman as she passed through the gates of Hell in front of the crawling Kerperos.

It was a very natural posture, without any deliberate twisting, yet still very seductive.

Should we say that she is a confident woman who dares to compete with the Queen of the Underworld in beauty?

Because of that somewhat familiar face, Ye always subconsciously thinks of Helen.

And what was Ye’s look like when he looked at Helen?

The way a man looked at his woman made Persephone misunderstand. She was walking in front at this time. After noticing the other party's sight, she felt as if ants were crawling all over her back, especially on her buttocks, and felt uncomfortable.

After all, for Persephone...

Not long ago, she witnessed Ye Badao's gesture and was moved. She already had something to hide, so she was naturally very sensitive. Not to mention that she was of noble status and it had been a long time since she had been looked at so unscrupulously.

The only one who is qualified to do this to her is her husband, Hades, the god of the underworld.

But Hades was not interested in that kind of thing at all. Although the two often appeared on the throne, they were mostly handling official business. The few entertainment activities were more like Hades's way of pleasing himself than dedicated to the king.

Pluto always seemed to feel that he owed her something and wanted to make it up to her, but he would never let her return to the earth.

Therefore, Persephone, who is very self-aware, will never become arrogant because of her favor.

Back to the topic, in order to divert the overly stimulating and uneasy feeling, Persephone began to introduce to Ye the place they were about to go next.

This is the passage guarded by the three judges of the underworld.

After arriving in the underworld, all the dead must undergo judgment, testing, and trials by the three judges before their destination is determined.

It would be the same even if Lord Hades wanted to see him.

It was also from Mingta that Ye learned that Hades was indeed looking for him.

It seems that he is the one who brought me to the underworld.

After hearing that even the orders issued by Hades himself had to be judged by three judges first, Ye frowned.

Isn't this a very strange thing.

It even seems to be taking away the main focus.

In the underworld, Hades’ orders aren’t the most important?

As if she had seen through Ye's confusion, Persephone took the initiative to explain, "The three judges are directly appointed by the God King Zeus. Although they are nominally under the jurisdiction of Hades, all truly important matters must be reported to the God King."

"Please rest assured. I have heard of the achievements you made during your lifetime. I have also heard of the arrow that opened the way for peace between the two countries. The judges will weigh your life on the scales to determine your good and evil deeds."

"With the achievements you have made, you are fully qualified to stay in the core of the underworld, become a warrior under Lord Hades, and live a second life in the underworld. Although you cannot leave the underworld, you don't have to worry about being homeless like other dead souls, or even being judged for your evil deeds and suffering in the depths of hell."

Zeus?!

My goodness, Ye suddenly understood what an embarrassing and uncomfortable situation Hades of the Greek world was in.

this--!

This is really difficult for you, Hades.

As the boss of the gods, you have great power, but you have to suppress your nature and survive on thin ice. Even the humans on earth don't like you.

Volume 2 Greek Universe - Trojan War: Chapter 234 Night: Sigh, the gods waved their hands: It's Hades!

Hades - In ancient Greece, he was a Cthoneos, the god of the earth and underground.

She is somewhat similar to the Earth Mother Goddess. If he is her, a goddess, then he completely meets the requirements of the Earth Mother Goddess.

As the god symbolizing death, Hades is not popular in Greece. Even though he has been working diligently to achieve targets and performance since he came to power, he has never messed around in his private life.

But he is still the only one among the twelve gods who does not appear on the twelve gods stamps issued in Greece.

Guess who it is? No one has offered sacrifices to it yet? (The gods surrounded Hades, waving their hands and shouting in unison: It's Hades!)

Guess who it is? The one that humans specially made stamps with the image of the twelve main gods, but was the only one forgotten? (The gods raised their hands, put on sunglasses and shook their heads wildly, opening champagne: That’s right!! It’s Hades!!!)

That’s right.

There are stamps of the twelve main gods, but there are only eleven of them.

This is not the most bullying thing.

Among the various versions of the myth, the worldview of the Olympus Star Legend is closer to the pure Greek mythology, so it is used as a reference. Hades was originally the most powerful and the oldest.

He should have inherited the throne, but was tricked by Zeus into drawing lots to decide which of the three brothers, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, would be in charge of the three world regions of heaven, earth, and ocean respectively.

It is doubtful whether this was a conspiracy, as Zeus deservedly drew the sky.

As the oldest Hades, this brother was assigned to the most desolate place where it was impossible to accumulate connections and reputation - the underworld.

Even Poseidon, the god of the sea, dared to have ambitions to covet the throne of the king of gods, and he had revealed this ambition more than once in mythology, but he still lived and ate well under the nose of Zeus.

But what about Hades?

Ye probably knows what version of the underworld he is from now on.

There was no drawing of lots in "Theogony". Zeus became the third generation king of gods directly after leading the gods to overthrow the second generation.

This version of Zeus is very domineering.

He extended his hand into the underworld and divided the authority of Hades, infinitely weakening the power and strength of his brother.

He handed over most of the affairs of the underworld to other gods. Persephone was in charge of ghosts and sacrifices, and the gods of death and sleep were in charge of transporting corpses. Zeus personally sent his three sons, the three judges, to be responsible for trying cases of the dead or reporting to him, the king of gods.

However, there are very few matters that need to be managed personally by Hades, the god of the underworld.

In one version, because her symbolic significance is greater than her practical significance, Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, is not even in charge of daily affairs.

He is sometimes even considered an Eleusinian god affiliated with Persephone.

The mighty Hades actually became a subordinate god of the Queen of the Underworld, making Persephone the true mistress of the underworld.

It can be seen how miserable and miserable Hades' life is.

Speaking of Ye, they are about to face the three sons of Zeus.

They were Minos, Aeacus and Rhadamanthys.

The daughters of King Danaus of Argos were sentenced to fill a bottomless jar with water in Hades for the crime of murdering their husbands.

Sisyphus (the king of Koslymne) and Tantalus (a youngest son of Zeus) both offended the gods and were sentenced to suffer there for their sins.

There is a river called Lethe there, which can make ghosts forget the world of the living and their life in the world of the living.

King Admetus of Philae was supposed to die, but his wife Alcestis volunteered to die in her place, so her soul was taken to the underworld by the god of death. Fortunately, the former Hercules volunteered to go down to the underworld to challenge Hades, and Hades was defeated and returned Alcestis' soul.

All in all, judging from these myths alone, the final verdict of the three judges is actually not important.

What is important is whether there are people and forces behind the people they are trying.

Those who have offended the gods are under strict protection and are still atonement for their past sins.

And those who should have died, didn't... His wife volunteered to go to the underworld for him, but was saved by Hercules, which is not in accordance with the rules.

The three judges, who were nominally subordinate to Hades but actually to Zeus, the king of gods, did not care.

Although Hades' defeat was partly to blame, it is somewhat doubtful that the man who wanted to be killed was Hercules, one of Zeus's favorite sons, an extremely powerful warrior, and a natural hero.

Ye suddenly thought of the scene in which Zeus personally came down to earth to hunt them down.

Thinking of this, Ye suddenly became alert about how the three judges, who were the sons of Zeus, would judge him.

I'm afraid the trial process is not that simple.

Persephone, who had no idea of ​​the seriousness of the problem, led Ye through a series of paths until they came to a corridor with three huge statues of priests.

The scene in front of him made Ye Weiwei feel a little more alert... This scene was somewhat similar to the road of judgment that Kui Ye had experienced in the God of War world.

If I'm not mistaken, those three huge statues should be the three inquisitors.

At this time, they each held a scale, a sword, and other sacred instruments representing justice and fairness, quietly waiting for new souls to come here to be judged.

"I'll wait here. My hero, please step forward to accept the trial. I believe it will be over soon." In order to avoid being recognized by the three great priests, Persephone did not intend to move forward, and she could not accept the trial in place of Ye.

For this, the night has no meaning.

And when he came to the trial room, suddenly -

The eyes of the three statues suddenly lit up with bright red. An extremely ominous posture and terrifying divine power suddenly descended from the sky and swept over, as if to crush Ye and force his soul to kneel.

at the same time--

In one of the sentences, the mouth of the statue actually opened and closed, and it spoke in a dull and majestic voice: "O Olympus, your honor is slain on the earth.

How could the incarnation of the true God die!

Do not report it on earth, do not spread it in Greece, lest the believers who are not followers of the twelve gods rejoice. Lest the rebellious godslayers continue to be proud and rampant. "

"The trial of the sinner Griffith will now begin..."

"Minos - there is no need to judge anymore. The man before us is undoubtedly evil. He once committed treason and murdered the most noble person in the world - we...

The sinner of our uncle, Poseidon, the god of the sea, and his brother Ares, the god of war."

"High treason, high treason! Griffith, you are guilty! You should be executed immediately and your soul should be completely shattered."

The three great priests spoke shockingly, saying such extremely powerful words right from the start, and terrifying divine power continued to emanate from them. Anyone could see that they were not joking.

For a moment, Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, showed an expression of disbelief, and was extremely shocked and panicked: ...!!!

How could this be?

The three judges actually defined Griffith as evil based on trumped-up charges?

The reason they gave was because Griffith injured the God of the Sea and the God of War?

But――! That is clearly……

What kind of Greek joke is this?

Volume 2 Greek Universe - Trojan War: Chapter 235 Come out, my dear eldest son - the Minotaur!

Persephone wanted to step forward and stop it.

Even as the Queen of the Underworld, she could not bear to see an unfair trial before her.

However, before he could take a few steps forward, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Hades, the god of the underworld.

The man had his back to Persephone and did not turn back to look at her. He just said, "Stand back, water nymph Mingta. No one may interfere in the holy judgment of the Inquisitor without permission."

Hades said coldly, he was not interested in the woman behind him.

Before, Persephone was so ashamed because of all the feelings in her heart that she lowered her head and moved forward.

So when he and Griffith arrived, Hades did not pay attention to the other party's appearance, coupled with the aura of the invisibility cloak artifact and the obscure cover of the underworld laws.

'Hades', who is not the real King of the Underworld, although he is quite powerful and has considerable control over the underworld, he is not the God of the Underworld after all, and was unable to see Persephone's true identity at the first time.

This is just one of his incarnations. If it were his real body, he might be able to realize who the woman behind him is.

And now――

Apparently, the other party had heard the conversation between the hero Griffith and the water nymph all the way from the gate of hell, and regarded the Queen of the Underworld as a maid of Hades.

On the other hand, Persephone, who was addressed as Minta by His Majesty himself, was stunned.

It's a joke that the King of Hell couldn't even recognize his own wife.

Persephone was instantly alert—aside from the most unlikely possibility, that was the fact.

She felt a little bit unbelievable, how could someone dare to play the role of Hades in the underworld?

Even at such a close distance, the three judges over there did not make any move towards this side.

Persephone couldn't believe that even she could figure out that Hades was in disguise, but the three Inquisitors couldn't.

They are in charge of some of the laws of the underworld and can judge all souls that enter the underworld. It is like they have opened the eyes of true vision. All disguises cannot escape their gaze that can look directly into souls.

But for some reason these judges chose to turn a blind eye.
