Dick and Jason also felt a little headache, but they had no other choice but to take one step at a time. They decided to make a sneak attack and knock the three-headed dog unconscious. Although it was still a bit violent, their original intention was
He was also going to help the gods of Mount Olympus, so Hades would not care.
Of course, the main reason is because I have a father who is an archangel in heaven. I am not afraid of taking the lawsuit to God, and I always speak tough.
Even so, they still have to be prepared. Most of the magic items here have been looted or destroyed, but there are still some that can be used. Under Faust's guidance, they picked and picked them up.
A few things, and then rushed to the Samaria Gorge before sunset.
There is no need to wait until sunset. Now that the sky has darkened, a huge black hell gate is looming, and the breath of death leaking from it has caused almost no living creature in the entire canyon.
They walked carefully through the grass and up the stream. When the last ray of light on the sky was swallowed up, the towering black door truly fell in front of everyone's eyes.
"Are you scared?" Dick asked, looking at the raven.
Raven actually didn't know whether the Three Palace Demons could fight against Hades, but she still shook her head and said to Dick with a smile: "I'm not afraid."
Dick smiled at her too.
The newly formed young team turned into a few inconspicuous black dots in front of the huge gate of Hades and disappeared into the rich black mist full of death. The kingdom of death welcomed several uninvited guests.
As soon as they stepped into the gate of Hades, several people were stunned by the sight before them. This was not the vast lifeless plain they imagined, but an endless wheat field.
Although the sky is a little gray and the clouds are low, like a precursor to the coming storm, the wheat ears are still shining with golden light, decorating the place like a golden ocean.
"What's going on here..." Dick said with some confusion.
"This is the back garden of the Queen of the Underworld. Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, is the god of rice. Wheat is her symbol and her favorite flower. This wheat field has existed for thousands of years and will always be this picture.
The scene of a good harvest." Faust the Toad explained. He was indeed an expert in this field and could explain everything.
"It's very special." Jason was obviously touched and looked at the wheat field in trance, but Faust quickly interrupted him and said: "Okay, silly boy, now is not the time to think about this, that big dog must be
Will be here soon..."
"What is this?!" Jason suddenly retracted his stepped foot and looked at the dirt on his shoes. The dirt was very wet and a deep dark red color.
He knelt down, gently rolled up some soil, shrugged his nose, stood up, and looked solemnly into the distance.
"blood……"
Jason's words sent chills down everyone's backs. Raven held Dick's hand and squeezed it tightly immediately, but a huge wheat seedling that was taller than a person blocked their sight and they couldn't see anything clearly.
"Shall I fly up and have a look?" the raven asked.
Aisha stopped her and said: "I will use my body to fly up and have a look. The body of the lamp beast is just a ball of energy. It will not be hurt even if it is attacked."
After saying that, she turned into a parallax monster about the same height as a person, floating up and looking into the distance.
Then she fell down with a whoosh, covered her mouth in disbelief, looked at them with wide eyes, pointed in one direction with one finger, and lowered her voice and said: "There is a body over there."
"What kind of body?"
"The body of a three-headed dog!"
Several people hurriedly ran in the direction that Elsa pointed, and within a few steps they saw the huge mountain-like corpse, which was the lifeless three-headed hell dog Cerberus.
Faust took the lead to escape from Funa's hand and jumped to the side of the body. After jumping twice, he said in disbelief: "How is this possible? Someone dares to kill Hades's pet?! Or is it in his territory?
superior???"
"It's okay now, we don't have to deal with it anymore." Jason stepped forward to check on the body.
"Logically speaking, to kill a three-headed dog, you need to blow up all three heads, but the heart of this corpse was directly dug out. It is hard to imagine what kind of person can withstand the attack of three heads and directly dig out the heart.
.”
But soon Jason said with some confusion: "No, no, that's not the blood of this big dog."
Elsa obviously noticed it too, she said: "This dog's blood didn't flow that far, and it was darker."
Others looked around and found that the three-headed hellhound did indeed bleed a lot of blood, staining the surrounding area black, but it did not spread further, and after the blood dried, it turned into a very standard black color.
It's not dark red, it's different from the color of the soil I saw before.
Aisha flew up and took a look again, but she saw nothing except this body. And the bad news was that the gate to Hades could not be seen either.
It was a maze. Jason turned around and stared at the cracks in the wheat ears. There was no way out, just layers and layers of more ears.
"Follow the blood." Jason added, "Follow me."
The others followed behind him. Jason stepped on the blood-red soil, pushing aside the ears of wheat and moving forward.
Suddenly, a huge figure appeared on the horizon.
They quickened their pace, and as the soil became softer and moister, the smell of blood continued to float into their noses.
Jason opened the last layer of wheat.
What came into view was a huge wooden stake standing on a piece of blood-red land. On top of the wooden stake was an equally huge female corpse, with bright red blood flowing out of her eyes, dyeing the entire land red.
Faust the Toad screamed.
"Persephone, Queen of the Underworld!!!!!"
Everyone was shocked. Fu Na pinched the toad in her hand and said, "What did you say?! This is the body of the Queen of Hades??"
Faust seemed to be so shocked that he lost his voice, while Jason began to inspect the body around the wooden stake. Although the body was enlarged a lot, it could be seen that the fatal wound was the hole in the chest.
After a long while, Faust said: "The Queen of the Underworld is actually dead, but no news has been spread. Is it possible..."
After a pause, he said in a somewhat anxious tone: "Hurry, go to the River Styx quickly, we have to rush to the palace of the Lord of the Underworld as soon as possible, and we can't let Circe succeed!"
At this time, everyone also felt that the ground under their feet began to become softer and softer, until it turned into a muddy whirlpool, and everyone was sinking.
The falling speed was faster than they imagined. No one could react. Almost instantly, they felt themselves falling to the ground.
They appeared on the river bank, and a rushing river was lying in front of them. It didn't look as mysterious and beautiful as described in the myth. It was obvious at a glance that if you fell into it, you would definitely die.
"How did you get there last time?" Dick couldn't help but look at Faust the toad and asked.
"Of course I bribed Charon, the ferryman of the Styx. As long as I gave him one silver coin, he could lead the dead across the river. I gave him 20 coins, and he also gave me a bottle of Styx water."
"So you didn't steal it?" Fu Na said.
"I'm crazy to dare to stick my hand into the River Styx!" Faust said angrily: "Do you know how many innocent souls are buried under here? If you dare to stick your hand out of the boat, they will definitely pull you down!"
"Where did you get so many silver coins?" Dick asked, narrowing his eyes.
"The Greeks would put a silver coin in the mouth of the deceased. There were always some unlucky ones who didn't reach the River Styx in time to use it." Faust said it very cryptically, but everyone else could hear it. He should be digging for someone else's money.
She went to the tomb and was turned into a toad so that Circe could do harm to the people.
"Then where is the ferryman now?"
"I don't know, he usually comes over when something reaches the river bank..." Toad looked around, not only the ferryman, but also all the undead that used to come and go here were gone.
"How do we get across now?" Dick asked, "Is it possible to fly on the river?"
"It's best not to try." Faust shook his head and said: "Without the ship of the underworld, it is impossible to cross the River Styx. The anger and fear of countless wronged souls will devour every soul."
"Fear?" Aisha's eyes rolled. She took two steps forward and glanced at the bottom of the river bank, and her saliva almost flowed out.
"We are here to save the gods, so eating him is not too much, right?" Aisha turned to look at Dick, who already knew what she wanted to do and nodded helplessly.
Aisha plunged in with one sudden thrust.
Because the water of the Styx is not transparent, no one knows what is happening underwater. Anyway, they can hear the clicking sound, the water surface gradually returns to calm, and the faint wailing and screaming in the ears disappear.
Aisha climbed up again and wiped her mouth, burped, looked at the calm river, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Environmental management is quite effective, burp!"
Faust opened his toad eyes in shock, trembled again when he saw Elsa's shining fangs, and retracted his head into Fna's hand.
Raven tried it out and found that it could fly, so she simply used her magic power to fly everyone there.
After landing, there is a vast plain. According to Faust, this is the Garden of Truth, also known as the Periwinkle Plain. Going to the left is Tartarus, going to the right is the Elysee Paradise, and going to the middle is Hades.
The palace of Lord Hades.
That's where the Young Avengers' journey ends.
But the first thing that came into view was another ruin. The trial platform used to judge soul crimes was smashed by someone unknown. The chief judge who was supposed to exist here was also missing, leaving only a mess.
Faust clicked his tongue and without explaining much, they walked towards the palace in the distance.
When they arrived at the door of Hades's magnificent palace, they discovered that the palace door had been smashed directly. There were several terrifying claw marks in the broken area. It didn't look like something a witch could make, but they couldn't say that she could bring it back.
What kind of monster is coming?
Walking past the debris, the originally solemn and magnificent palace hall was destroyed beyond recognition.
As they walked further inside, they felt more and more that the signs of destruction looked too wild and did not look like something a witch could do.
Until finally, they saw the body of Hades slumped on the throne.
The once extremely powerful Lord of Hades lost his head, and his burly body wearing black armor had lost all strength and became cold and stiff.
There was another huge claw mark on his chest.
"What on earth is going on?" Dick stared at the corpse, then looked at Faust and said: "You said that Circe took the key to the door of Hades, but it was obviously not the witch who did it."
Faust seemed to have thought of something. He was silent for a long time before saying: "She may not have done it herself, maybe she took advantage of it..."
"What was used?"
"The secrets of the ancient gods." Faust lowered his voice and said: "The last time I came to Hades, I accidentally learned the darkest secret of the gods - the first son of Zeus and Hera.
Their eldest son was imprisoned in the deepest part of Hades because of a prophecy about usurping the throne."
"You mean Circe released the eldest son of Zeus? He could actually kill Hades?!"
"Yes, he has the purest blood of the God King and is almost invincible." Faust sighed and said, "If he is really released, the Olympus gods will be in trouble."
