Chapter 613 - 104: The Three-headed Dog That Follows Its Heart
These sea beasts reverted to their human forms; they naturally used the Transformation Skill to enter.
"We’re here!"
Aphrodite pointed to the bottom of the crack with a dark red glow, reminding them in a solemn tone.
"So this is the entrance to the Netherworld from the sea; just touch it to enter the Netherworld, and it directly leads to the third layer."
Everyone simultaneously moved forward to touch the few inscriptions on the bronze block.
After a moment, three gigantic walls cast from mountain bronze shimmered with light patterns, the bricks seemed to come alive, automatically retracting and gathering, revealing a narrow passage.
Then, a deep blue vortex spread downward along the fissure, sweeping Lorne and Thetis within, who timely leapt out, landing gently at the pitch-black road’s entrance surrounded by jagged rocks.
All around was dark; only the wandering ghostly blue phosphorescence provided some light.
Immediately upon landing, the dense black fog of death seemed to sense the breath of life, transforming into serpentine darkness, swiftly wrapping around and eroding the group of lively intruders.
But Asclepius merely waved his hand, blocking the death aura outside.
"My Divine Authority is most restraining against death aura," said Asclepius, who is Shennong.
"That was Briareos earlier; since Poseidon’s rebellion, he, originally Poseidon’s son-in-law, has become Zeus’s subordinate."
"If he were still with Poseidon, holding some Sea Divine Authority, he might have discovered us."
"But now, within the sea, the sky’s Divine Authority is suppressed to a very low level, so Briareos cannot detect us."
"Fortunately, very few are aware of this passage now, causing no trouble," Aphrodite glanced around at the environment and the death aura in slight disgust.
She is the Love God; the concept of death greatly impacts love.
Even lovers, once one dies, not everyone’s love can penetrate life and death, and under death,
Love often disappears.
Of course, if love can penetrate life and death, Aphrodite would find the ultimate pleasure.
"Release some human breath, and that foolish dog will come by itself. Have you found where Chronos is locked up?"
Aphrodite looked at Shen Fei; since Shen Fei came to the Netherworld, he should at least know about Chronos.
"I don’t know, but naturally, someone knows."
Shen Fei naturally didn’t know, but in the next moment, a tall woman appeared in front of the group, with a veiled face, wearing a black long skirt and purple hair draped over her shoulders.
Aphrodite’s heart was shocked; upon seeing this woman, she knew who it was.
Among the Gods, the most mysterious existence now, Hecate.
Her Divine Authority and rank are known as the Magic God, Witchcraft God, and even the God of Opportunity.
Among the still remaining Divine Spirits, the only one who can intervene in fate.
Perhaps she is the only one who might truly overturn Zeus’s position as Divine King.
The Saintess glanced, "What about the Sleep Demon and Avenging Goddess?"
"Couldn’t find them."
"Alright." The Saintess nodded; although they abolished the identities of the Greek Gods, their power was greatly limited, but many abilities they grasped could still be used.
Including the abilities bestowed by the Master.
Only Jasper Pool needed to disguise, not using them much, but having her as a reason, one could naturally exhibit fully.
If Little Pu were here, their communication wouldn’t worry about being overheard by the Gods.
But with her [Divine Authority]’s protection, many eyes could also be blocked.
"I’ve already probed Chronos’s location; the sole task now is to draw Hades and the Queen of the Underworld away."
"I can manage the Queen of the Underworld; over this period, I’ve become quite familiar with her, so drawing her away is feasible."
"What about Hades?"
The Saintess’s gaze fell on Aphrodite; seeing Hecate looking at her, an inexplicable flame of anger rose in Aphrodite’s heart.
But she has no ties with Hecate!
This ancient goddess is an existence of a generation similar to Chronos; when she was born, she nearly vanished from the Gods’ sights.
Could it be that there’s a grudge between Chronos and Hecate?
Since she is Chronos’s second brother.
Though she has been born now, if encountering a hostile existence to Chronos, discomfort would arise.
"I will handle Hades!"
Aphrodite snorted coldly; regardless of their schemes, as long as they trouble Zeus, she’s willing to help.
Moreover, it’s her favorite thing.
She simply won’t let Zeus act.
Anyone can act.
The key is Zeus’s impure intentions, aiming to completely dominate her rank and Divine Authority.
Yet Hades and Poseidon lack such capabilities.
"Then I’ll first attract the Three-headed Dog." Shen Fei emitted his human breath.
In the next moment.
A black shadow with three heads, wearing a bronze collar and robust as a bull, rushed out from the death fog, instantly biting at the spot where Shen Fei previously stood.
Shen Fei casually dodged, the massive dog directly pounced.
"Woof~!"
Missing its target, the creature grumbled lowly, raising its three heads, glistening saliva slipped from its white jaws, six dark red eyes stared fixatedly at Shen Fei.
To the creature, that biped is quite appetizing.
But the next moment.
Seeing the person standing next to this biped, its dark red eyes turned exceptionally clear instantly.
The Moon God it did not recognize, but Jasper Pool it knew; often in the Gods’ banquets, it was fortunate enough to accompany the King of the Underworld to eat some leftovers and watched Nine Muses perform.
This is one among them.
That male Divine Spirit, not long ago, it went to him to check its uncomfortable stomach, the Medical God, Asclepius.
And that Demigod.
Calypso, a Priest and disciple of Goddess Hecate.
When Goddess Hecate appeared in the Netherworld before, Calypso frequently visited.
After all, for the Transformation Skill to progress, one must understand the transformed species.
Seeking among humans could hardly compare to directly visiting the Netherworld.
Here, it can study various species’ souls directly, and the Three-headed Dog also assisted her in finding other species.
A pair of dog eyes continued to fix on another person, with a trace of fascination flickering within them, but because the rank and Divine Authority of the Netherworld’s gatekeeper were bestowed by the King of the Underworld.
Cerberus instantly cleared up, its dog eyes becoming even clearer.
’Why has the Love God come?’
Aphrodite it knew better, as she is among the Twelve Main Gods, until its dog eyes landed on Hecate.
In an instant.
Its spine raised abruptly, resembling a dragon’s spine.
Hecate?!!
How could the Goddess Hecate, who vanished for centuries, appear now?
And in such an unusual manner, a multitude of thoughts flashed in Cerberus’s mind, the next instant, it resolved to follow its heart, crouching down, wagging its tail.
"Greetings, Gods!"
