Chapter 247 Mortal, you angered the gods(1/2)
Chapter 247 Mortal, you have angered the gods
I don’t know how long it took, but Yan Nu finally searched for all the dead souls on the edge of the underworld.
It was really huge and crowded.
I kept statistics at first, but then gave up... According to Thanatos, although the gods have existed since ancient times, the underworld only began to have undead enter nearly two thousand years ago.
But even so, after such a long time, the number of dead souls stranded on the River Styx is too numerous to count.
In short, when Yan Nu left the River Styx and led the poor ghosts to the garden of Hades, it could be said that it was a vast expanse of land with no end in sight.
All that is known is that the heads of people are shaking, and the people behind are completely following the people in front, and looking at the lightning blooming in Yan Slave's body.
The organizational power relies entirely on fanatical poor people who spread the word spontaneously.
"What's the point of taking them with you?" Thanatos asked confused.
Chi Qing and Mars also looked at Yan Nu, expecting to have something to say.
Unexpectedly, Yan Nu blurted out: "I don't know."
"Ah?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
Yan Nu smiled and said: "There is no hope for them to stay there. I can't leave them behind."
Mars closed his eyes and felt it, and suddenly smiled: "No, these undead souls are very precious... After you told them that I was the God of War, some of them believed in me and provided me with strength."
Previously in the city of Rome, slaves prayed to the God of War, and all the power of faith was given to Mars, who was left with only consciousness.
The same is true now in the underworld. Yan Nu leads these poor ghosts to subvert the underworld. These people who are not protected and even want to rebel against heaven, their beliefs will not be passed on to the reigning God of War, but to the subordinates of Yan Nu.
Mars.
Even a small part of the prayers provided Mars with considerable divine power.
Yan Nu smiled and said: "Haha, that's right! Anyway, there is strength in numbers. I have seen that one million ordinary soldiers can rival gods."
"What's the use of having more people and strength?" Thanatos, as a former god of death, knows the abilities of the gods of the underworld very well.
He shook his head and said: "Many of the abilities of the gods in the underworld are specialized in defeating the undead. For example, the three great judges...Aiagos, Minos, and Rhadamandis."
“They have three divine qualities: supervision, fairness, and legislation.”
"The supervision power of Aiagos can deprive the undead of their ability to move. No undead can move due to his gaze. He guards Pluto's treasury and all prisoners."
"The power of fairness of Minos can balance the power of the undead, making the energy of the undead absolutely equal based on any undead. He is responsible for the final decision on the destination of the dead, whether to enter the Elysee Paradise or the Tartarus Abyss."
"Radamandis's legislative power is the most terrifying. He can formulate a new rule in the domain, and all undead must abide by it. He is responsible for controlling the order of trial and managing all those who serve."
"Do you understand? In front of these three judges, no matter how many undead there are, it is meaningless."
"Even you and I are now undead and will be affected by their divinity."
Yan Nu exclaimed, "Wow, you look so awesome."
Seeing that he was careless, Chi Qing had a headache.
Then he asked: "I just want to know how to leave the underworld."
Thanatos shook his head and said: "Under normal circumstances, it is very simple to leave the underworld. The land you just entered the underworld is actually the entrance to the underworld."
"There used to be a gate there, guarded by three-headed hellhounds."
"Defeat the three-headed dog, go through the gate, and then you can return to the human world."
Yan Nu was surprised: "Ah? We don't need to cross the River Styx?"
Thanatos waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, when I went to find you, Hades had already taken back the door. At this moment, the underworld is completely closed, and there is no way out."
"There is no way...unless you can defeat Hades."
Yan Nu suddenly said: "I see, why didn't I see the gate? I understand, I will kill Hades and let him enter my underworld!"
"..." Thanatos was speechless. How difficult is it to defeat Hades?
The Nirvana of Hades, this divinity can be called the strongest. As long as it is within his domain, even the God King can be thought of to Nirvana.
For the gods, the only solution is to die and be resurrected.
However, after experiencing Yan Nu's soul-stealing, everyone understood that the resurrection of the gods was just another creation.
The death of Hades seems to be unsolvable.
"What is that! Is it... is it a human being?"
"The blasphemer! He's really here!"
"How is that possible! His body is actually Styx!"
"So...so many undead! Oh my God, how many...how many are there! Like the ocean!"
The soldiers of the underworld hurriedly formed their formation, and their first reaction was to fight.
But after seeing the vast ocean of poor ghosts, I was so frightened that my soul trembled.
The visual impact was so great that even the bravest soldiers could not hold their guns!
"Too much! Too much!"
"All the undead souls that have been wandering on the other side for thousands of years are here to kill!"
The total number of soldiers in this vast garden is only tens of thousands.
They are not as numerous as the hard laborers who are working the land, just like a wisp of foam in the ocean.
The dead souls of the hard laborers who were carrying heavy shackles and crying bitterly raised their heads blankly, and were shocked by the countless dead souls running towards them, shouting to kill them bravely.
Yan Nu led the way, standing upright on the broad water column, his lower body like a black waterfall.
Lightning was flowing through his body, and in the dim underworld, the blue-white light was dazzling.
The poor ghosts who followed him did not have any weapons and were basically empty-handed.
But their footsteps that shook the earth and their roars that echoed through the underworld made people feel numb.
The soldiers of the underworld collapsed as soon as they charged, and Yan Slave didn't take any action. A large group of poor undead ghosts without weapons swarmed up and subdued the enemies...
In other words, drowned!
"A hard laborer?"
Yan Slave learned from Thanatos about the situation of the working dead and was very angry.
"You have to farm after crossing the River Styx? What's the bridge toll?"
Thanatos pointed into the distance, where there was the silhouette of a huge black city.
"That's Hades, but it's surrounded by a big moat called the River of Lamentation."
"It has a divine nature. Once touched, it will remind you of sad and painful things. The memory of the dead will attack the soul crazily. Those who fall into the water will be immersed in it and cannot extricate themselves."
"If you want to cross the river, there is only one bridge. Only after crossing the bridge can you be judged."
Yan Nu was furious: "How many ghost places like this are there?"
Thanatos recalled: "After crossing the bridge, you can enter the judgment seat of Hades. If you make offerings to the judge, you can directly enter the paradise."
"And there is a 'river of forgetfulness' blocking the way to the Paradise. Drinking the water from the river will forget the memories of your lifetime, allowing people to live a carefree life in the Paradise."
"If you don't want to drink it, of course you need to pay some money. In addition, to enjoy the extra blessings in the paradise, you also need to exchange it with money from the underworld."
"As for the lead to the abyss, there is a 'river of fire'. The souls of the dead are thrown into the magma-like flames, flow down the river, and enter the abyss to suffer. Being baptized by this fire will amplify all pain. The more contaminated it is, the more it will be amplified.
The multiples are more terrifying.”
"There is no need to charge for this, because the souls sent to the abyss will definitely have no money. But if you want to avoid it, you can choose to swear to become a sacrifice to the gods."
"If the gods are willing to accept it, it will become private property from now on. The gods can turn it into divine power, or create various monsters in the underworld. Most of the monsters under the gods come from this, and some are sacrificed human beings.
To the gods."
"at last……"
Yan Nu and Chi Qing were in disbelief: "There is more?"
Mars glanced at Thanatos and thought to himself, you gods of the underworld are really good at playing.
Thanatos said awkwardly: "There is one last thing...that is, there is a 'River of Oath Keepers' in Hades. This river is very small and is guarded by the Queen of Hades."
"Drinking the river water, or swearing by the river water without fulfilling it, will lose all divinity. Most of the expelled ancient gods and Titans were forced to drink the river water."
"In addition, if a living person is immersed in this river water, he will be invulnerable, but at the same time, a certain part will become a fatal weakness, and he will be injured and die."
"In order to obtain this divinity, mortal heroes must give a lot of sacrifices and faith to the underworld in order to obtain this qualification."
Yan Nu was dumbfounded, this underworld was full of interests, it was simply scarier than the human world.
A living person can still create wealth, but a dead person will have almost nothing. Apart from what he brings when he is buried with him, he can only wait for his relatives and friends who are still alive to offer sacrifices to them.
If the family is poor, or the living person does not do this, or even has no relatives at all, then it is complete despair.
Yan Nu said angrily: "Since he is the god of the underworld, it is his duty to judge the souls of the dead. Why do you have to pay all kinds of fees along the way?"
"If you want to gain faith, isn't there a better way? Isn't faith gained by benefiting people?"
