Me, Hydra

With that said, Ares stepped onto the speeder and headed towards the Amazon Queen.

After all, it might be a long time before we could meet again, so it was better to say what needed to be said.

Witnessing Ares' departure, Hydra's mouth lifted slightly.

Hephaestus could be far more useful in his own place than in his days as a blacksmith on Olympus!

Let's go to bed. Tickets, please!

Volume 1: Text-89 - Hades' Sacrifice

"What? Hydra wants Hephaestus?"

Hearing Ares' words, Zeus knitted his brows in disbelief.

"That hydra is so greedy! If it weren't for the contract! I...!!"

As he said that, Zeus clenched his teeth, his white hair dancing all over his body due to the uncontrolled and exciting lightning.

"Calm down! Impatience doesn't solve anything, and Hydra having the sense that we want Hephaestus means he has enough confidence, and it also means on the other hand that Hephaestus really has a problem, doesn't it?"

After hearing the words of Hades, Zeus recovered a little bit after taking two heavy breaths of air.

But even so, judging from Zeus' constantly twitching face, the thoughts in his heart were clearly not so calm....

Looking at Zeus in front of him, Hades shook his head helplessly, although this brother of his was the God King of Olympus, he was clearly inferior to himself in terms of raising energy. Turning his gaze to Ares, Hades said seriously, "Tell me everything you've seen and heard, and don't miss a single detail."

Nodding his head, Ares spoke angrily.

"Hydra that greedy magical serpent scavenged all the treasure I had brought there and he unfolded an unhesitating mockery after seeing the wounds on my body. From Hydra's words it should have something to do with Hephaestus, and more importantly when I came back I saw a lot of beasts gathering outside of Sparta, then I approached them with my transformation cloak disguised as a beast to condescend, they said they were informed by Hydra that Olympus was now devoid of fighting power due to the epidemic, so they were preparing to gather a whole army of beasts Charge to Olympus!"

Hearing Ares' words, the gods in the doing shouted in unison, "What?!!!"

The first to calm down was still Hades, quickly pacing the open space, Hades' eyes were filled with thought, not only Hades, the other gods also fell silent and began to constantly ponder the solution to the problem.

"Four-fifths of the gods have been infected by the epidemic, just suppressing the spread of the epidemic will already cost all of the gods' power, fighting in this situation we have no intention of killing ourselves, even if we win in the end, four-fifths of the gods will die due to the spread of the epidemic, at that time.... "

Apollo didn't say any more, because there was no point in saying any more, four-fifths of the gods died in one breath, and the remaining gods might even lose their immortal divinity due to the epidemic, at which point it would be more than just a matter of whimsy.

"Give Hephaestus to Hydra!"

After a moment of silence, Hades continued.

"You guys go out first, I have something to say to Zeus."

Upon hearing that, the gods nodded their heads after a few glances at each other and left the meeting hall in silence.

Looking at Hades in front of him, Zeus looked like a late bloomer.

"Brother... should I... not be this God King?"

Shaking his head, Hades encouraged to.

"Believe in yourself, we're not extinct yet, are we?"

"So what should we do?"

Nodding, Hades said after a moment's thought.

"As things stand now, we can only hand over Hephaestus, we have a contract with Hydra after all, and he wouldn't dare to put an end to it. As for Hephaestus... we can't use your name when handing it over."

"Why?"

Zeus was confused.

Looking at Zeus before him, Hades shook his head.

"You are the king of Olympus, if the mortals knew that you wanted Hydra to compromise it would mean a sweeping away of the majesty of Olympus. I think Hydra feels the same way, the human heart is like sand, when it's scattered it's hard to keep it together. I am the king of the underworld, and Hephaestus is imprisoned in hell, so when I handed over Hephaestus, I thought it would be fine if people said that I was careless and negligent. In this way the majesty of Olympus will not be affected..."

Hearing Hades' words, Zeus widened his own eyes.

"But then wouldn't you..."

Shaking his head, the Hades matter Zeus didn't need to say anything further.

"I know what you're trying to say, Zeus. You were the one who rescued us when my father swallowed me and my four other siblings. I've only suffered some 'minor' damage to my reputation by comparison."

"But..."

"All right, Zeus. Take the majesty and decisiveness that the kings of the gods should have, it's the only way we've got, isn't it? Tomorrow I'll bar Hephaestus to Hydra...and don't forget to do as I say."

"...Thank you..."

Hearing Zeus' bitter thanks, Hades laughed helplessly.

"Bad luck... being your brother can be tiring... but not bad~"

As he said that, Hades' eyes gradually glazed over.

"Hydra... I'd really like to sit down and talk with him if I could..."

........

This chapter is 500 words short, so I'll make it up in the next chapter.

Anyway!

begging for tickets!!!

Volume 1: Text-90 - A Conversation with Hades

"...You must be Hydra, right? It sure looks heroic~"

At the words, Hydra shrugged her shoulders.

"Judging by the dead air of the underworld on you, you'd be Hades, right? Would you like to have a drink in my Peloponnese? The barley wine we have there is the most authentic in all of Greece~"

Shaking his head, Hades spoke calmly.

"Forget the drinks and all, I came here to make a deal with you."

Hearing Hades' words, Hydra spread her hands.

"That's a shame~ Obviously I'd love to talk to you about how hard it is to have a bunch of idiot siblings to hold you back~"

On hearing this, Hades looked behind Hydra and nodded thoughtfully at the increasing number of the Uygurs catching butterflies with their tongues.
