Chapter 1994 – 1994. God’s Atlantis
There were five rivers in the underworld. One of these five rivers was the famous Styx.
I looked at the river in front of me.
It was so large that it looked more like an ocean than a river.
‘This is the River Styx.’
It didn’t look like a river with a particularly negative power. It is easy to mistake it for a fearsome river because the gods swear an oath whenever they have a chance, but surprisingly, the river Styx itself was fine.
‘It’s true that it’s a mysterious force. Even now, right in front of my eyes, I can feel the mysterious power.’
It wasn’t as sinister a force as I thought.
‘Shall I flip it over?’
Tzuzuzuzuzuzuzu.
Generate power
The lightning that flows from my body is scattered through the air of the underworld. The dark underworld became bright in an instant.
Gather lightning in your grip and make it into a spear. Wanting to gather some strength, I threw it into the River Styx. Lightning shook the entire River Styx. The surface of the river shook violently like waves, and the water rose to the ceiling.
“…”
I frowned. It was just a river. No matter how many times the lightning strikes, it won’t mean much. It was a river in the underworld, so it didn’t seem like there was a life in it.
‘Let’s stir it with a little more force.’
It was the moment to use divine power. The river Styx parted and a goddess appeared.
“Stop! Quit! If you keep doing that, the Styx might mix with the other rivers! It soon becomes another mess. You don’t want that either!”
She was a goddess in memory.
Styx.
He was the master of this river.
“Stix. Long time no see. Is this the first time since that war?”
“Yes. Long time no see. Mr Zeus. Stop please stop Your fury is already etched into the underworld. Even if thousands or tens of thousands of years pass, those scars will not go away.”
“Hmm.”
“… If you mix up all five rivers… The order of the underworld is distorted and will have to be rewritten. There will be chaos for a very long time. Isn’t that what you want?”
“I’ve come this far, but it’s a bit like going back. If you want to appease my anger… Appease my wrath.”
I looked at Styx with blatant eyes. Styx was already a married woman with children of her own. Even though her husband is stuck in Tartarus.
“The person you really are…”
Styx trembled at her but did not run away. She seems determined to sacrifice herself for the underworld.
I grinned.

After having a good time with Styx, I flew through the sky and looked around the underworld. As a tourist destination, the underworld wasn’t zero. There was nothing to see. The five rivers are interesting, but I forgot to do so because of the passage of time.
‘It’s harder to fly than usual. Maybe it’s the underworld.’
Found something odd An island floating in the corner of the River Styx. In the center of the island, full of poppies, lay an old man asleep as if he were dead.
I looked down at the island from the air. The gray-haired old man was a god he had never seen before. Of course, just because I am Zeus doesn’t mean I know all the gods.
‘There is a god in a place like this, so I’m curious.’
The sleeping old god slowly lifted his left eyelid as if feeling my presence. The eyelids did not rise more than halfway. The pupils were out of focus. It seemed he hadn’t woken up yet.
“Is it the king of the gods… Okay. I heard that a new god-king has appeared. Was his name Zeus… ?”
“I am Zeus. Being in a place like this, it is dark for the news of the earth. How many years have passed since I became the king of the gods… After, done.”
The god in front of me was dozing off. It meant that he wasn’t even listening to me. I lost my desire to talk to him. Still, it was necessary to know the degree of identity.
“Be careful.”
“Are you talking about bottom and bottom? Ah, are you also a god of the Prophet?”
“Dreams tell us a lot…”
Blood flows from the old man’s half-open eyes. I was a little surprised by the situation for no reason. He seemed fine.
“The ordeal has already been twisted. The stars are ready, chaos is creeping… Destruction is already prepared… You will have to prepare for the end.”
“Last? I’m not talking about Gigantomachia.”
“It’s not like Gigantomachia.”
“You seem to know that this world is an ordeal.”
“All of this is also a process.”
“Who are you?”
Aaaaa!
He coughed up blood His unfocused eyes begin to spin round and round at will. Blood continued to flow. Even at this point, he seemed unwilling to wake up.
“Hip… North…”
Hypnos, the god of sleep.
I wasn’t surprised because it was the name I was expecting.
Cool.
Hypnos coughed up his blood. His glowing eyes began to illuminate something else.
Passage.
A dark passageway led to the pupil. At the end of the aisle, something approaches at high speed. It was a spider that approached briskly moving its eight legs. A spider with a human head.
‘Facebook? No, I’m not that lowly.’
Spider legs pop out of Hypnos’ pupils. The length of the bridge alone was over 10m.
‘My legs are too long to come through my pupils.’
I don’t know the details, but the space itself seemed to be squeezed. It would be correct to say that Hypnos’ dream was something wrong.
“Zeus, kill, kill…”
Hypnos said in a hoarse voice. In the meantime, four more spider legs were sticking out and struggling. The spider’s face and body protrude. Aside from the spider’s body, his face was contorted as if he was screaming. I felt a visceral disgust.
“Disgusting.”
Jiji Jijiji Jijijik!
I threw the Astraphe to the spider. The spider swings its leg and knocks Astrape away.
“Quaaaaagh!”
Hypnos screams. The spider leg protruding from the pupil pierced Hypnos’s chest. Still, Hypnos was sleeping.
I approached the spider. He grabbed the leg of a spider that was over 10m long with both hands and broke it. The remaining spider legs hesitated, but soon rushed at me. I grabbed even those legs and rubbed them.
A broken leg regenerates rapidly.
‘I’ll have to come to an end before I can fully regenerate.’
Wave support.
Manleo (卍雷).
The thunderbolt condensed in his grip rotated, increasing its power.
I threw a man-roe into the spider’s human head.
Kieeeee
The spider screamed and twisted her body. I try to escape into the eyes of Hypnos again, into the dream. I grabbed the spider’s body with one hand and gathered a bolt of lightning with the other and swung it.
‘Astrafe.’
One time wasn’t enough
He swung lightning and swung it again.
I must have put an astrape in that head about 13 times. The spider’s body sagged and she did not move.
‘Finally found.’
She killed the disgusting worm. She felt proud of that fact.
“Turn it off…”
Hypnos let out a groan.
“The traitor… There is a traitor… !”
“Betrayer? Who is that?”
“…”
Hypnos did not answer. He is behind
“Tell me who the traitor is and search for it! No, did you really search before that?”
I was puzzled. Greek gods are basically immortal. He shouldn’t die. To say that such an existence is immortal is to say that it died ridiculously.
Isn’t it too sudden to say that perfect immortality doesn’t exist?
‘I don’t know what happened. Is he really dead?’
I waited several minutes, but Hypnos did not move. I burned the corpses of Hypnos and spiders with a thunderbolt. Hypnos still did not regenerate.
‘It’s not serious. It’s not too serious.’

Several years have passed since Hades’ abduction of Persephone. The surface and the underworld became stable again.
Everything is back to normal There was no confusion by death.
However, I felt a disquieting presence floating around Olympus.
The goddesses were as usual.
The problem is the male gods.
A disturbing air flowed around Poseidon, Ares, and Apollo. Everyone else will feel it’s their fault. But who am I As I went through the tyrant experience several times, I developed my own sense.
‘These guys. They dream of a rebellion.’
If you pretend, you pretend.
They want to bring me down as if I usurped the throne from Cronus.
‘There’s a high probability that Hades is also involved.’
It wasn’t difficult to subdue.
Now I was able to fight against all the male gods and win.
‘But there is no evidence. Haven’t rebelled yet. No country can throw the male gods into Tartarus for a rebellion that never happened.’
It was also impossible to reason the prophecy.
Fate twisted and twisted to the point that Moirai, the three goddesses of fate, gave up. Prophecy is meaningless in this situation.
‘We have to wait until they rebel. Fortunately, the goddesses are on my side.’
Maybe it was because he was good to the goddesses, so he didn’t seem to have any complaints. And among the male gods, it seemed that not all of them joined hands with them. For example, Hephaestus and Hermes. They weren’t very interested in things like power.
‘I have to prepare.’
I was able to quell the rebellion with my own strength. What is worrisome is what comes after the rebellion.
‘I need more power. In order to do that, I need to be worshiped more and more by humans.’
There was a limit to just scaring and killing humans.
I thought deeply and came up with a method.
“Hephaestus!!”
“Yes. Father. Also, do you need an accessory to present to the goddess?”
“Humanity has greatly improved by acquiring fire. However, it is too slow to progress beyond that. Therefore, we want to bring lightning down on humans.”
“… Father. Humans dare not handle lightning.”
“Know. However, with your help, the story will be different. Hephaestus. Make a generator And make machines and weapons that use electricity.”
“Isn’t it too early for humans now? I am afraid that humans will unknowingly try to stand above the gods.”
“Those who don’t even know the subject will be punished.”
