Type-Moon, I heard that after death, you can ascend to the Throne of Heroes?

When the promise was finished,

The Olympian gods.

"That's right." The goddess of fate, Clotho, said softly, "In the thousands and tens of thousands of futures that I have seen, until the end of his life, he has never once stopped playing the harp in his hand."

The gods were silent, even Athena was silent at this moment.

Then......

"Apollo!" Hera looked at the extremely panicked Apollo with extreme anger, and the moon goddess Artemis also glared at him.

"Look at the good things you did!"

"But wait, I never thought things would turn out like this!" Apollo replied in panic.

But the gods no longer had the heart to argue with him.

"Stay away from Xiao Nuoyan from now on, you bastard!" The moon goddess Artemis said this angrily, and then said nothing more.

Because at this time, the goddess Persephone had already fulfilled her promise.

And made a vow.

After all, the sound of the piano is interrupted. This is such a simple condition. Even if you just fall, the sound of the piano will be interrupted.

It was because of this consideration that Nuoyan decided to borrow the lyre, a magical artifact, so that even if it fell, it would not break.

Demeter even laughed at Nuoyan's condition, and thought Nuoyan was really serious and cute.

Only the goddess Hecate, who was standing aside, seemed to have noticed something. Her red eyes under the veil stared at Nuoyan for a while.

And after hearing Persephone's promise of the trial, he also smiled and looked at Hecate and said, "Beautiful goddess, I will trouble you then."

Hecate was silent for a moment, which was rare. She opened her mouth under the veil as if she was going to say something, but gave up in the end.

She took out a staff from the air and tapped it gently on the ground. Then a magic circle appeared, and dark butterflies flew out of it, covering Nuoyan and Persephone.

So, when Nuoyan and Persephone closed their eyes and opened them again, they had already arrived at the Hades Road of the Underworld.

Hecate first handed the lit underworld lamp to Persephone, then walked up to Nuoyan and reached out to gently stroke Nuoyan's ears and eyes.

Nuoyan lost his hearing and vision.

Then Hecate and Persephone looked on,

Even in this situation, Nuoyan's expression remained calm, and he even showed a faint smile, and slowly played the lyre in his hand.

When the sound of the harp sounded, it even brushed across Persephone's body and mind like a clear spring, as she came to the underworld for the first time and looked into the eternally dark land of the dead, her frowning and frightened body and mind.

After Persephone came back to her senses, she looked at Nuoyan with some surprise. It was obvious that she did not expect that the piano played by Nuoyan would sound so beautiful.

After all, even if the music of the piano cannot make trees and stones cry and rejoice, Nuoyan's piano skills have conquered the moon goddess Artemis.

At this point, Hecate left.

Although she left, her gaze clearly stayed here.

In fact, it was not just her. When Nuoyan came here, Hades, the god of the underworld, Nyx, the goddess of night, and even many underworld gods looked over curiously.

After all, at the moment when Nuoyan entered the underworld and officially started the trial, how could Athena, Hera and others hide their gazes from the gods of the underworld?

Realizing this, the goddess of night, Nyx, naturally recalled that night, the night when Nuoyan used her body as a canvas.

That night, the gods also looked at him with disdain.

So although she didn't know what was going on, she couldn't help laughing and said, "This child is really lively."

The promise did not keep Persephone and the gods who were watching here waiting too long.

He played the beautiful piano steadily in his hands and soon took his own steps.

Seeing this, Persephone, who was holding the lamp of the underworld, hurriedly followed.

Nuoyan could neither hear nor see at this moment. In that absolutely quiet dark world, he needed to maintain the beauty of the piano sound and move forward step by step.

Then, as expected, Nuoyan fell down soon after.

In ancient Greece, although there was no saying that if you fell you would fall into the abyss, the road leading to the underworld, which was guarded by the three-headed dog of hell, was a straight downward road and it was not smooth.

And because there was no three-headed dog of hell to accompany her this time, even though Persephone held up the lantern of Hades, she kept wandering around the poplar tree that never bore fruit.

The souls of the dead who had lost their minds and could never rest in peace because they could not escape the underworld began to gather together, floating around them in an eerie and terrifying manner.

They smelled the scent of living people, they let out terrifying roars, and tried to tear the two men to pieces.

Although she knew that they could not hurt her, and the light of the dark lanterns prevented them from getting close, Persephone still turned pale after hearing and seeing this horrifying scene.

She subconsciously moved closer to Nuoyan, and Nuoyan fell to the ground because of her collision, but even after he fell, the sound of the piano did not stop.

Persephone reacted and apologized quickly, not reacting to the promise, after all, he couldn't hear anything now.

But even so, Persephone soon became keenly aware that Nuoyan's piano sound became softer, as if trying to soothe the fear in her heart and tell her not to be afraid. This made Persephone feel ashamed after she realized what was happening.

Her breathing then became much calmer, and she tried her best to raise the underworld lamp, as if to illuminate the way to the underworld for her promise.

But Nuoyan naturally couldn't see it, because at this time Nuoyan had fallen into darkness, and it was also because of this that when he fell and stood up, he naturally deviated from his original path.

As a result, they were soon completely lost on this dark road.

Later, Nuoyan didn't know how long he had been walking. During this time, he fell and got up again and again, bumping into rocks or fruitless trees.

Gradually, Nuoyan was covered in bruises and bleeding.

The blood fell to the ground, and when they left, the undead would rush over and devour the blood that represented the breath of life.

And Persephone, behind him, could only watch it all happen, watching him fall, get up, and continue.

She couldn't reach out, even just to correct the direction of Promise.

Because even if that were the case, it would be considered as God’s help, thus ending this trial.

Before coming to the underworld, Nuoyan made a vow with her that she could not take action in any way until the sound of the piano stopped.

As for the sound of her subconscious exclamation, it would not reach Nuoyan's ears...Yes, at this moment, the restrictions proposed by Demeter actually helped Nuoyan.

As time went by, one hour, two hours, three hours later, not only the gods of the underworld who were watching the show gradually realized that something was wrong.

Even Demeter herself was like this.

No one had ever thought that a promise could last that long.

As time went by, hunger, pain and bleeding gradually weighed down Nuoyan's nerves.

When one cannot see or hear but can feel, the feeling is amplified, so it is impossible for Nuoyan not to feel fear in his heart.

But even so, the sound of the piano remained beautiful and never wavered.

Even if there is a brief pause, the promise will be continued immediately.

"He just kept walking and walking, and finally died in front of our eyes."

Inside the quiet temple of Olympus, Clotho, the goddess of fate, suddenly spoke softly and said, “And sometimes he will be lucky and arrive at the gate smoothly.

The three-headed dog of Hell knows him, so it won't make things difficult for him, but because he can't see anything, he will fall into the River Styx.

Any mortal who touches the River Styx will drown in it and cannot be rescued.

Even if he successfully boarded the ship of the ferry god Charon, he would mistakenly enter the endless abyss Tartarus on the road to the underworld.

Even if he chooses the right direction, he still cannot cross the barrier of the river of fire. The moment he touches it, he will be burned to ashes..."

Kloto's voice was light and calm.

But it made all the gods feel like there was something pressing on their hearts that they couldn't vent.

"Athena, if that's the case, are you still going to stop me?"

So Hera said to Athena with a grim look on her face.

Athena was silent for a long time this time, but she finally gritted her teeth and replied to Hera: “It’s really easy for Hera, that child, to give up.

He only needed to step back, or even deliberately play a wrong string, and everything would stop, and no one would blame him.

But...his piano music has never stopped until now."

When Athena's voice fell and the scene was quiet again, Clotho suddenly spoke up and said to Athena: "Then respected goddess Athena, do you think he can do it this time?"

Athena was stunned when she heard this and looked at Clotho in front of her.

"...I don't know." Athena shook her head and replied.

That's right, this time she really didn't know.

Because this was not the trial she was prepared for, and due to the special nature of Nuoyan, she was unable to peek into the future, and had never found that possibility.

"That's it."

So, Clotho smiled.

She showed a very beautiful and lovely smile and answered in a tender voice: "But this time I believe him, because he promised me before he left that he would let me see the future that I could not see."

This moment was just like the moment when Promise caught the falling star.

It was just that the positions of Athena and Clotho were swapped.

"......Although I had guessed it long ago, it turned out to be true."

When the gods heard this and looked at Clotho with strange eyes, Athena nodded and said to Clotho: "Your prophecy has changed again."

Cloto did not reply. He held the crystal ball in his arms and lowered his head slightly.

She gently wiped the crystal ball in her hand.

That promise, how are you going to present to me the future that I...have never seen?

......

......

Nuoyan was hesitating in his heart at this moment.

Yes, he was hesitating.

Nuoyan felt his health getting worse and worse, and he became more and more unsure how long he could hold on, so he hesitated whether he should tear up the painting in his hand.

Remember the painting of Argus the Hundred-eyed Giant?

Nuoyan tore it to pieces, and then Argus appeared and helped Nuoyan subdue the two giant lions guarding the gate.

And Nuoyan has another painting like that in his hand.

Yes, that is Pegasus!

The gods really couldn't help Nuoyan, but Pegasus was the meteor that Nuoyan subdued himself, and it was a power that belonged only to him!

Even though the trial is to make Nuoyan walk step by step before Hades, the god of the underworld, the appearance of Pegasus will undoubtedly guide him forward.

The promise was not made recklessly to Demeter.

The reason why he has not let Tianma come to the underworld is because it is his only trump card, but now it is just the beginning.

As for whether the torn painting Pegasus will appear, it is a very simple question.

It's true that Hades can't take action, but not stopping him doesn't count as taking action either.

'It must have been several hours.'

Promise thought in my mind.

'My health is getting worse, but luckily I ate the golden apple before I came here. But if it drags on like this, it won't be a problem. Goddess Persephone must be getting impatient. I can feel that she wanted to take action several times, if it weren't for the oath.'

'So now my piano music must not stop, even if it is only for a short moment, she will definitely pass this trial! '

There is nothing wrong with the feeling of promise.

At this moment, Persephone had forgotten her fear and her worries.

Her beautiful bright eyes were fixed on Nuoyan.

To be more precise, I was staring at his hands playing the harp.

Now, if there is any mistake, if you fall, or if the piano stops playing.

She will take action to stop this trial.

Nuoyan couldn't see, so he didn't know, but Persephone could see it clearly beside him.

He is now like a candle burning in the snow.
