Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 262

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsman (262)

Persephone (Persephon?).

The impact of the name was so heavy that even [Hades], who had only fragments left, forgot what he was saying, and it was so stimulating that it made the godhead, who had only fragments of memories, relive some of his old memories.

[Hades], who had tried to get up from the throne, settled down again and closed his eyes tightly, the corners of [Hades’] mouth trembling.

Leonard had also heard of that divine name.

‘Queen of the Underworld, Persephone. Was she the daughter of the Earth Mother whom Hades kidnapped and made her his wife?’

It was a story that everyone who studied Olympus mythology knew. When [Hades] saw the daughter of [Demeter], the goddess of the earth and agriculture, his eyes turned to her and he kidnapped her and made her the queen of the underworld.

It is said that even the sky god Zeus turned a blind eye to the crime, and Demeter’s anger at losing her daughter spread throughout the world, causing crop failure that lasted for decades.

‘It must have been truly difficult for mortals in the olden times to live. They would have taken care of all the natural disasters that occurred due to the quarrels between the gods.’

Although the gods would not starve to death if the rice fields were ruined, it was an event so serious that several decades of poor harvests could have resulted in the destruction of several countries. It takes several months to search for wild animals or fruits, and if it were to take a year, the entire nature would have dried up.

Eventually, through the mediation of the gods, [Demeter] was able to meet Persephone again, but [Hades] had already given her divine status by serving her food from the underworld.

So it is said that Persephone stayed on land for half the year and under the ground for the other half.

“Thousands of years have passed since ancient times, but there are many stories that have not disappeared and have been passed down. The beginning is often described as turbulent, but no one said that the relationship between the husband and wife kings who ruled the underworld was bad. “It is said that he enjoyed such great authority that he was called ‘Hera of the Underworld.’”

– On the subject of enjoying life for about 100 years, did you leave a story behind it? It must have been a rumor from thousands of years ago.

[Hades] spoke with a somewhat amused look.

-Yes, exactly as you said. A demigod who embodies the power of a mirror. This body of hers took Persephone in her wrong ways, but she loved her enough to give her everything. Demeter eventually acknowledged my marriage and came to visit the underworld often.

The Olympian gods were often famous for their violent and promiscuous quarrels, but there had been no stories of discord between [Hades] and [Persephone] since their first meeting.

There is a story that while her husband [Hades] showed the intensity of his affection by kidnapping her, [Persephone] turned the nymphs who approached her husband into trees and grass and trampled them several times.

This meant that in an era when incest and adultery were commonplace, the two couples dated without turning a blind eye to each other.

-It was nice that her story caught my attention. but.

The atmosphere of [Hades], which had softened for a moment, became as cold as an ice cave, and, like the ruler of the underworld, covered the area with darkness and warned.

-From now on, distinguish between what to say and what not to say. While dealing with people who came to the underworld on their own, people who broke the rules, and people who came to ask for their loved ones back, I never punished them, although I did reject them or get angry. However, those who insulted and coveted my wife were thoroughly punished.

“… Peiritus and Theseus.”

-Are there any records of those scoundrels? Good. This is a lesson.

Damian is the leader of the White Dragon Knights and has been reading records from the past. Not only did he go down to the underworld in the body of a living person, but the story about the idiot who tried to steal [Hades]’s wife was also difficult to forget.

Theseus, who was not the instigator, could one day be freed from that punishment, but Pirithus ended up being sealed in a state where he could not even lift a finger?

It was a part that made it possible to know the extent of the love and obsession for [Persephone].

“As I said earlier, I would like to ask you one thing in exchange for arranging a reunion with your wife.”

-You have a lot of guts. Say it once.

“Previously… Do you know anything about [Nine Hell]?”

The Demon World, [Nine Hell], was born after the War of Destruction, so many of the gods who survived until the end of the war were not well known.

Apparently, [Hades] wasn’t much different, so it just tilted its head as if wondering what it was. From there, Damien felt the need to explain and classified the information in his head, distinguishing between what could be known to the other person and what should not be known.

[Hades], the absolute ruler of the underworld, was a being that could be ranked at the top of all ancient times. If he could regain some of that power by collaborating with them, there was a possibility that he could not only take away the influence of the Demon World but also reach out to Middle Earth.

Damien let out a long sigh after assuming the worst case scenario and only passing on the necessary information without being questioned.

“?That is all. If you have any questions, please let me know.”

[Hades], who had been quietly listening to his story, did not hide the discomfort in his eyes.

-[Nine Hell]. We, the evil species born from the remnants of the gods, painted the underworld with our own flesh and blood and used it as a seedbed for evil? Ha, my ears feel like they are rotting away. It’s really unpleasant.

For the gods, their domain and power are not much different from their self-identity. Even though it was nothing more than a fragment, the divine power of [Hades], furious that its territory had been polluted, trembled around its body.

It was a reaction unbecoming of a god who basically had no motivation for everything, and whose only driving force in life was his wife.

-Obviously, there is no one better suited for that role than me. There were a few more gods who were appointed as managers of the underworld, but those who were far from the essence of divinity like [Osiris] would not be enough.

The power of a god is generally determined upon its birth, so it is rare for it to change from the beginning, but it is not impossible.

In the case of [Osiris], he was a god-king who reigned over the earth and a being who possessed the divinity of the sky. However, he was killed by [Set] once, and when he was resurrected, he returned to the world of the dead, and his divinity as the ruler of the underworld was distorted. Compared to [Hades], his aptitude and ability as a king are bound to be somewhat inferior.

The most important ability in the tug-of-war of influence was legitimacy, even more than power. He is the rightful monarch of the underworld. [Hades], which perfectly embodies this, could be considered the best partner that Leonard and company could seek.

-Finally, check the conditions once again.

[Hades], who finished coordinating the partnership, spoke.

-You take [Persephone] to me, and after stopping the combined army of demons and foreign gods, you guarantee full authority over the underworld. In return, I will continue to do my best to block threats coming through the Underworld, and any direct or indirect interference with Middle Earth is prohibited. Am I right?

“That’s the basic gist. Please do not forget about the additional provisions.”

– Prohibit reconstruction of the afterlife, obey the owner of the throne, require prior notification for my wife and I to travel abroad, enter into a non-aggression pact with the Arcadian Empire, and accept being recognized as the guardian deity of that country. What did you mean?

[Hades] recited the conditions he proposed one after another, and then asked back with an expression of bewilderment.

-You say times have changed, but are you being too lenient? It makes me wonder how many gods are left who would agree to tie all their limbs and put them on leashes.

Unlike in the old days, in a position where the basis of existence had to be strengthened by external factors such as faith, if shackles such as ‘guardian god’ and ‘non-aggression pact’ were attached, there was a high possibility that they would not be immediately removed and maintained for a long time even if the status was restored.

A contract between a lower being and a higher being is bound to be advantageous to the one with the higher rank among the two, but if it is a contract made in a state where the person has been reduced to nothing, the story is different.

however.

“Are you going to refuse?”

-no way.

Unlike the gods who opened their eyes to dominating and exploiting mortals, [Hades], the beloved wife of the underworld, was fine as long as he could live happily with Persephone.

To [Hades], who could manipulate the resources of the earth at will, wealth was meaningless, and he never felt the value of someone’s praise or worship. The only thing that melted the heart of King Myeong, who was living like a living corpse, was the appearance of his wife, who lost his senses just by looking at her once in the face.

That was the only reason [Hades] accepted the unfair contract.

-I swear on Styx. I, Hades, will comply with all the conditions mentioned above and dedicate myself to normalizing the underworld.

The words spoken to Styx, an oath that the Olympian gods can never break, are tied like a thread to the essence of [Hades].

Leonard and Simone, who thought the matter was finally resolved, tried to kiss me, but coo coo coo coo coo??.

Not only the palace of [Hades], but also the entire sacred area began to shake violently as if everyone would be buried alive.

[Hades], who saw the three people’s confusion, explained.

– Don’t be surprised. I, Hades (Haid?s), is the name of God and at the same time the name of the underworld. I am the underworld, and the underworld is myself. At the point when I decided to accompany you, I lost the reason to unfold my work here, so I am withdrawing it.

“No, you want to move right now?! how!?”

-Even if it is an unfair contract, if one side’s conditions are satisfied quickly, mutual binding force is strengthened. I decided that if you wanted to bring my wife to me even a second faster, this would be the best option.

The eyes of [Hades], who confidently declared that he had taken sudden action solely for that purpose, turned to Leonard.

No matter how high a person he is, he cannot appear in this world on his own after performing his divine work. A seal or a possessed body had to be prepared to contain that existence. Naturally, sealing spheres and possessed bodies capable of containing gods were not common, and the only human here who could handle [Hades] was Leonard.

-Pay the price for drinking my river without permission, you demi-god who possesses the second.

“Whoa, please come in.”

If Leonard had refused, [Hades] would have lost its power due to its poor foundation of existence and would have melted like thin ice exposed to the hot midsummer sun.

The presence of [Hades], who entered the world of images at the same time as opening the Hundred Meetings, put more pressure on the body that was already close to being saturated with deification.

If it was so bad, it would have even woken up the founder, who was sleeping soundly.

-what? What is this energy?

[Hades], who came inside Leonard, also spoke in a surprised voice.

-Is it a dragon god? No, he was born as a dragon, but his divinity is a sword. Did you overcome the wall with the martial arts you acquired?

-That thing over there is so dark and gloomy, it’s a deity related to the underworld and death, right? I don’t think he came here just to sit down, but he told me not to touch that thing and just be quiet and then leave.

-that? hmm? turtle? Although it is faint and incomplete, I can feel the divinity of death. Oh, I see.

[Hades], who immediately understood something, calmed down his strength, so the Gentleman did not have a seizure.

When all the spiritual power flowing into Leonard stopped, the three suddenly appeared not in the middle of a dark palace, but in a great hollow underground.

It came out of a normal space that overlapped with the sacred area of ​​[Hades].

“It seems like it worked out well in the end, but we have to hurry.”

Damian soon noticed that Leonard’s complexion was not good and scratched the back of his head.

“Should I visit my sister before the head of the family? If you approach [Nine Hell] as much as possible, due to its divinity, you will be able to emerge without being in Leonard’s body… Simon, please.”

“Can you tell me the coordinates? “I don’t know the coordinates of the Black Dragon Knights’ base.”

“Oh, I see. “I will call you the coordinates of Garrison 7.”

As Damian quickly recited about thirty numbers, Simon, who entered the numbers into the magic formula, also waved his wand cheerfully.

At the same time, light swirls around the three people.

[Multi Teleportation] flashed once.

Paaaat!

It was the moment when negotiations with the powerful godhead were concluded successfully.
