After all, Tartarus is such a caring enemy, so he must not be underestimated.
"Young man, why are so many people gathered with Warcraft? Are they being recruited?"
Charon casually found a wandering young man and started talking. The other party seemed to be familiar with this matter. I think there must be many wandering spirits along the way to learn about the situation.
"Old man, Master Zeus is not such a person, everyone who came here is voluntary."
"Volunteer?"
Charon couldn't understand that the gods themselves had their own selfish desires, and mortals were worse than the gods, and they would not do things that were not beneficial.
What method did the boy named Zeus use to get them up voluntarily?
"Master Zeus wants us to promise."
"promise?"
"Yes, a promised land, a land with green grass, flowing water, melons and fruits, and sunshine."
What a joke.
Charon sneered when he heard this answer. You must know that this is the abyss, this is Tartarus, how could there be such a place here, even Gaia... Wait, Gaia?
"You are going to the upper reaches of the River Styx..."
"That's right, Lord Zeus is going to build a city that belongs to us, a city where monsters and the dead live together."
"Boom~"
Charon was struck by lightning.
Build a city?here?Build a civilization in this ruined and void-dominated Tartarus?
Charon finally understood why Tartarus was furious.
Tartarus, no need for civilization.
Chapter 26 Nothing but a single thought to save the common people
"what is that?"
Zeus sat behind the sand sculpture, and he watched a human-shaped "thing" appear on the ground.
That's right, the kind that can only be called "stuff".
"Bang~"
There was magma in the earth for a moment, and the humanoid "thing" was burned down.
"Gah~"
"Wandering soul? What does a human look like after death?"
Zeus listened to the sand sculpture's explanation.
After death, the souls of human beings will come to this hell-like Tartarus. They are very fragile in life, and they are also the weakest type of monsters if there is no special opportunity after death.
He couldn't last a second in the magma of purgatory, and of course he couldn't resist the sudden thunderstorm.
"Oh, what a pity."
As Zeus said so, he lay on the sand sculpture's back and wanted to fall asleep. After all, he is now a god, and he has a great cause of rebellion, and currently has the task of robbing the prison. It is really...
"It's really annoying."
Zeus directly turned into lightning and attacked a wandering soul below, and pulled it out just as the wandering soul was about to be swallowed by the magma.
"There's magma in the ground, don't you even hide?"
Zeus threw the wandering soul to the ground. For this kind of person who doesn't even care about his own life, Zeus doesn't have a good face. It's fine if he doesn't just dump him.
"It's useless to hide. In this Tartarus, even powerful monsters will die from natural disasters. Weak wandering souls like us are just suffering."
The Age of Gods, as its name suggests, belongs to the age of the gods.
The gods who master the mighty power of nature freely sway their power in the world, but for mortals, it is an era like a nightmare.
High gods, monsters entrenched in the mountains and forests, unexpected natural disasters...
"We've had enough of the days of fear and fear. Even though we were so tired when we were alive, it's still the same as being alive after death. Danger is always around us."
"So you don't want to work hard to live?"
Zeus looked at the wandering soul in front of him in disappointment. If he couldn't live, he wouldn't live?Are humans really such fragile creatures?
"I can't survive anymore..."
"Then how about I give you a reason to live?"
Zeus pointed to the upper reaches of the Styx, and wrote at the end of Gaia's "Tartaros Raiders" that if you encounter something that cannot be solved, you will flee to the upper reaches of the Styx.
Gaia wrote this one at the end, which is also the information that Zeus thought of when he heard the word Styx.
I want to come there to be a safe place, where I might be able to build a pure land where monsters and wandering spirits can live.
Anyway, monsters are also rescuers, and wandering souls are also rescuers. As long as the people in front of them still have hope of life, then Zeus is willing to lend a helping hand.
The clairvoyance of Prometheus is not wrong, Zeus has his own bottom line.
"I will build a city in the upper reaches of the Styx River, a pure land, anyone who is willing to come will follow, and those who do not want to come will leave."
"City? Wait, don't you know that this is Tartarus?"
The young wandering soul couldn't believe it. Building a city in Tartarus and igniting the flames of civilization was undoubtedly a declaration of war against Tartarus' will.
"I know, but I just want to do it."
Zeus didn't know what Tartarus was, but if there was the River Styx here, then this place should be the predecessor of the underworld.
So what if I build an underworld here?
"Boom~"
As if stimulated by Zeus' words, dark clouds covered the hazy sky, and dull thunder churned in the clouds, which was like Tartarus' warning to Zeus.
But this can't change Zeus's determination at all. After all, the thunder that can kill Zeus has not yet been born from the mother's womb.
"Boom~"
As if feeling Zeus' disdain, the thunder in the sky slammed down towards Zeus like a bull in a hurry, and bolts of lightning poured into Zeus's body.
But for Zeus, this didn't hurt at all, but it made him feel like he was "charged".
"So, what's your decision? You need to make a choice whether to roll or keep up. Humans are creatures that cannot stay in place."
Zeus was facing countless thunderbolts, but his conversation was still understated. No matter how deafening the thunderclaps, Zeus' voice could not be suppressed.
This is not how strong Zeus is, but because he is Zeus, it is a certain fact that lightning cannot hurt Zeus.
……
"So you followed Zeus all this way? Just because of such a sentence?"
Charon listened to what the wandering youth said, and now his back felt a little chilly.
This kind of guy who faced the provocation of Tartarus and was unscathed by the thunder that Tartarus lowered, could he really deal with it?
Although Charon is not weak, he also understands that to Tartarus, he is just a useful dog.
Now Zeus, who Tartarus struggled to clean up, asked him to deal with it?Isn't this fatal?
"What else can we do? This is probably the only hope in the abyss, and we have encountered many natural disasters along the way. If Lord Zeus is telling lies, then why does Tartarus frequently bring down natural disasters?"
It is precisely because of the natural disaster that Zeus' words are verified to be accurate. Zeus did nothing, but Tartarus, who reacted rashly, kept stating a fact to others.
Zeus had the potential to bring about change that Tartarus intended to nip in the bud.
It's self-defeating.
Charon lamented that Tartarus had power but was not human enough, which is why it was not weaker than Gaia but was always suppressed by Gaia.
"Huh? Has anyone else joined?"
Zeus?
When Charon heard this voice, he turned his head subconsciously, but when he turned around, he saw Zeus coming behind him at some point.
"That's right, this is the old Mr. Charon who just joined."
"Is it Charon? It sounds familiar."
Zeus seemed to be thinking about something, and this move directly frightened Charon, although he was not famous for squatting on Tartarus for many years, what if?
Of course, Zeus couldn't remember what the name represented. After all, he had a half-baked understanding of Greek mythology. In addition, Charon was now in a translucent state, so Zeus couldn't see the opponent's face clearly.
It never occurred to him that he would scare the other party half to death.
"By the way, has Mr. Charon lived here for a long time?"
"It's okay, hundreds of years."
Charon wiped away the sweat that didn't exist. In fact, he was born in Tartarus.
"Then, is there a ferryman on the Styx River?"
Zeus looked at the Styx River. There has always been a ferryman of the Styx River in mythology, but his name... Zeus couldn't remember it.
And Charon, who has been living on the River Styx, wants to ask now, is it too late to surrender?
Chapter 27 Pluto
Charon, the son of the God of Darkness and the Goddess of the Night, is of the same generation as the first God King Uronos in terms of seniority. If he is placed in another place, then he is also a big boss who will give him three points if he is a man or a ghost when he is away from home.
It's a pity that this is Greece, and what he cares about is a father and son laughing. What he has to face is a group of ruthless people who will not relent even if they kill their fathers.
Charon?How many gods does he have?
Charon knew that the Zeus in front of him must be younger than himself, but he didn't dare to directly reveal his identity and rely on the old to sell the old.
"Master Zeus, there seems to be a god on the river Styx, but he doesn't serve as a ferryman."
Charon unknowingly took the honorific title.
"No? Then, what is the name of the god above the Styx River?"
"This... how do we wandering souls know the honorable name of the gods?"
Charon wiped off his cold sweat. Fortunately, he is usually homeless and has been floating on the River Styx. Tartarus would not come out without a mission. This is the reason why he dared to use his real name to communicate with wandering souls.
"It's a pity. I want to recruit a ferryman on the Styx River. If I can directly let that god be the ferryman, then it will reduce disputes in the future, won't it?"
dispute?
Charon's body couldn't help but become somewhat transparent. What does Zeus mean?Is this seeing through my identity to give me a warning?
If he doesn't become that ferryman, is Zeus going to take care of him?
"Master Zeus, the uninhabited Tartarus River Styx is so big that it is difficult to cross it. It will be the same if there is no ferryman."
Charon didn't understand why Zeus wanted to mess with him, but what's the use of a ferryman for the Styx?
"The Styx River does not need a ferryman now, but I plan to build a kingdom of the dead and monsters, but the Styx River is so wide that it is not conducive to future management. Setting up a ferryman will facilitate the travel between the two sides of the Styx River."
Zeus really planned to build a prototype of the underworld in Tartarus, and in order for this small underworld to develop, the transportation must be convenient.
Zeus glanced at the endless Styx, and he knew that it was basically impossible for him to build a sea-crossing bridge in a short period of time, but there would be absolutely nothing wrong with arranging the ferrymen first and establishing the traffic.
"Take the upper reaches of the River Styx as the starting point to gradually advance, and strive to transform more than half of the land of Tartarus into a relatively livable level. With this pace of progress, it is imperative to establish a ferry on both sides of the River Styx. things."
Zeus watched the wandering souls around him gather, and he also started to draw big cakes unceremoniously. He understood how decadent people are when they have no goals, and painting cakes to satisfy hunger, hope plums and quench thirst is the best way to dispel this decadence.
More importantly, Zeus is not aimless. His horns are connected to Gaia's treasury. Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, wants to restore a piece of land to life. This is simply a professional counterpart.
"In the city I built, you must abide by the rules I set. As long as you obey the rules and participate in labor, I promise you food and wine, peace and prosperity."
Zeus told the wandering soul about his imagination of the underworld.
Zeus has been living on the island of Crete for 18 years. He didn't know the sufferings of mortals on the ground. He didn't know another "world" from the mouths of wandering souls until he came to Tartarus.
Warcraft, natural disasters, gods, diseases...Under these pressures of survival, it is not surprising that an ordinary person dies at the age of 30.
But this is unacceptable to Zeus.
For Zeus, there is no pity to live to the age of 80 or 30 and then die naturally, but the age of [-] is the right time to fight.
