Chapter 1993 – 1993. God’s Atlantis
“Kuuuuu!”
Having been grabbed by Zeus, Hades unknowingly let out an ugly scream and struggled with his limbs.
I was out of breath. It’s not just because I was caught by the collar.
Divine power.
The overwhelming power of the gods was weighing down Hades.
‘When it comes to divine power, I am not far behind… !’
Hades was the king of the underworld. And he is the center of the underworld here. It is only natural to exert more than 100% power in one’s domain.
Even so, he could not overcome the divine power of Zeus.
‘Is the worship of humans giving Zeus strength?’
Humans living on earth had no choice but to fear the sky. A place you can see just by raising your head, an infinite expanse that is not allowed to humans, and a vague fear of a disaster coming down from the sky.
‘Anyway, this level of power is unexpected. I have to say that I was strong from the beginning…’
Hades gritted his teeth.
I couldn’t give in so easily just because my opponent was strong. Even if he loses, he must gain a minimum. Hades started rolling his head.
“No answer. Do you really want to go back?”
Kururureureung.
Thunder sounds from Zeus. Blue lightning bolted down his arm like a living snake. Astrafe. Lightning of Zeus. Hades was naturally nervous at that tremendous power.
‘I resisted with divine power… No use.’
Since God is immortal, he does not die.
However, that did not mean that he was invincible. Could be neutralized enough. Like the Titans, including Cronus, who is now imprisoned in Tartarus.
Hades gave up his resistance.
“I lost.”
“You know the subject well. I’ll give you a chance to rectify what you’ve done.”
There was cold anger in Zeus’ voice. He was too cold to be called mercy to the traitor. This is not the mercy that Zeus wants.
That’s why Hades was able to laugh even when he was grabbed and overwhelmed.
“Looks like you know I’m the only one who can sort this mess out. But. Who wants some god to take charge of this boring underworld? The low-ranking gods would rather be eaten by the underworld… Since the 12 gods of Olympus have already established themselves, they will not fall underground.”
“The words are long. Do you really think I can’t do something like you?”
“Quench your anger, Zeus. The kidnapping of your daughter and wife, Persephone… I am also reflecting. I was too hasty.”
Puck!
Zeus’ fist crashed into Hades’ jaw!
His jaw cracked and he felt a pang of pain.
The fist did not end with one shot.
Bang, quaang, bang!
The fist wasn’t fast. Slowly, with strength, he pounded Hades heavily.
“Turn it off…”
Hades gritted his teeth. Each blow of his fist seemed to pulverize the bones within his body. A god’s bone that can’t even be compared to a human’s? In front of the fist of Zeus, that was of no avail.
Kwaaang! Bang!
The fist continued.
Does it make sense to hold on?
Aaaaang!
My head exploded with one punch. Like an immortal, Hades’ head was regenerated. After fainting for a moment, Hades woke up and couldn’t avoid Zeus’s fist that came flying after him.
Bang!
Fists drop again.
Hades knew that the fist used only pure brute force, not divine power.
‘A monster…’
Suddenly, the words that had been circulating among the gods came to mind.
Zeus is growing up.
The Titanomachy, which was thought to be the heyday of Zeus, was only Zeus’ childhood. If Zeus fully matured, all the gods of Olympus could not defeat Zeus even if they joined forces. Such absurd words had been floating among the gods.
‘Was it a prophecy, not a rumor… ?’
Quaang! Bang!
It was around the time I got used to the bursting of my body. A god came down through a hole in the ceiling. The god of the winged shoes spoke to Zeus in a tense tone.
“Zeus! Freeze! Hades is… No, Hades is already half-baked! He has lost his resistance!”
“… Tsk.”
Zeus clicked his tongue and lowered his fist. The collar in his hand was still there.
“Hades. Listen carefully. It is thanks to the other gods of Olympus that you do not end up in Tartarus. They all said you must rule the underworld. He told me to be generous with one mistake. All the gods except me.”
“… Is it. It seems that no one wants to rule the underworld. Okay. Do as you please.”
Hades drooped. He loosened his body. He had no will to resist. His divine power and charisma failed to conquer the underworld.
Zeus put Hades aside like a garbage dump.
“Hermes.”
“Yes. Zeus.”
“Return to Olympus with Persephone.”
“Isn’t Zeus going with you?”
“Since you can’t see the sky from underground, there are many people who don’t know how to look up to the sky. I intend to take this opportunity to show you the greatness of the sky.”
“That, you see!”
Feeling that the atmosphere was not good, Hermes acted hastily. He and Persephone flew to Olympus without looking back.

I knew the story of Hades and Persephone as well as it was famous.
But I didn’t think much of it.
Unlike the original Shinhwa, the current Shinhwa has changed a lot. I said everything because Athena doesn’t exist among the 12 gods of Olympus.
Different from the original myth. So what should happen doesn’t happen, and what shouldn’t happen happens.
It was originally supposed to happen when Poseidon fell in love with Medusa. Originally, Medusa had sex with Poseidon in the temple of Athena, but was angered by Athena and turned into a monster. But even without Athena, Poseidon was there, so it was only natural for them to love each other.
‘I can’t give Poseidon a beauty like Medusa.’
So I made Medusa my woman. Poseidon’s backlash? Find out something
‘The events of Hades and Persephone should not have happened.’
Because as soon as Persephone was born, she became my woman.
Hades was gloomy, but among the gods of Olympus, he was a man of common sense. So she thought she wouldn’t touch Persephone. Persephone, because she was my wife.
‘I thought so.’
Hades was crazy.
Dare to touch my girl
‘You can’t go overboard. Be sure to set an example. So that the underworld doesn’t crawl back to the surface.’
As a bonus, there was also the purpose of venting anger.
A little curiosity about the underworld is a bonus.
‘First…’
I could see the lower gods looking this way. Gods following Hades in the underworld.
“My dear Zeus. Forgive… !”
“We made a mistake!”
“I will start working right away! We will do our best to reduce the confusion underground and above ground as soon as possible!”
Zuzuzuzzuk.
A thunderbolt occurs around me just by harboring a slight murderous intent. This was an authority and a natural phenomenon. Because Zeus himself is lightning.
“If you commit a crime, you must be punished.”
Grab the lightning and wield it.
Lightning rode through the air and spread out in all directions, sweeping away the gods. All at once, the gods fall to the floor. The lightning lingered on their bodies. It will torment you for as long as you don’t die.
‘You bastard! You touch my girl?!’
He swung his fist.
Aaaaang!
Walls shatter and the shockwave shatters ornaments. Pillars or anything else that looked intact was destroyed. The more I ran, the more the underworld howled.
‘Hmm?’
I realized the difference between fists.
My physical abilities became a little stronger. I was able to notice it because I was constantly punching.
‘Has Zeus’s body grown even at this moment?’
I shook my head.
No matter how Zeus is, there is no such thing as sudden growth. There were many ways to strengthen the power of the gods. Congenitally, it was destiny, and acquired, it was faith. The gods did not want human worship for nothing. They are worshiped because they are all helpful.
‘Worship means reverence.’
In conclusion, those who fear me suddenly increased.
I glanced back. The gods of the underworld suffering from the lingering lightning. They were in awe of me
‘The fear of the gods makes me strong… It must be possible because I am the king of the gods.’
Wow! Bang!
Smash everything and move forward.
The wall broke and lava came out and attacked me, but nothing happened. I was too strong right now to be mortally wounded by lava. Swimming in lava would be no problem.
Aaaaagh!
A huge door flew off and got stuck somewhere.
“Krrrr… Whimper… Whimper…”
A huge three-headed black dog bared its teeth at me, startled and cowered.
Cerberus. The gatekeeper of hell slammed his three heads on the floor and trembled pitifully.
He came close and struck one of the heads with his fist.
Suddenly, a huge head exploded. Shattered skulls and brains spill onto the floor. Terrified, Cerberus jumped up and tried to escape. My fist was faster. He struck another head and smashed it.
Cerberus, with only the head left in the middle, panicked and didn’t know what to do.
“There is also the symbolism of being the gatekeeper of hell… Don’t go this far However, this is the last time I will look at you.”
“Ki-ing… Whimper…”
There is no next.
This was also a warning to Hades.
After passing Cerberus, a river appeared and blocked my path.
‘Is this the famous river of the underworld?’
