Chapter 353: The Moon Goddess Comes Knocking

~6 min read 1,092 words

Hades had appeared, and Artemis, the Moon Goddess who had been peeking the entire time, grew nervous. No one understood Hades better than she did.

Although Hades had a good reputation among the Twelve Olympians, his sternness was also legendary. Lin Ye, a mere mortal, had broken into the Underworld; according to the rules of the Demon World, he should have been cast into hell.

"If all else fails, I'll go beg Uncle Hades later and try to fish them out."

Artemis felt she still had that much face.

【Hades looked at the two people before him. At this moment, he raised his hand, and in an instant, a terrifying power swept directly toward the pair!

Dark power swirled around Lin Ye, but this dark power did not invade Lin Ye's body.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, Hades was also stunned, and then he looked at Lin Ye before him with newfound interest.

"The protection you have was not given by me; you do not belong here."

Hearing Hades' words, Lin Ye nodded silently.

"I indeed do not belong here, but I saw my friend's wife being punished by the gods for no reason, so I brought him here to retrieve her."

"Hmm?" Hades looked at Orion to the side. "Not bad. There is indeed a woman locked in hell, thrown in by Hera some time ago. She shouldn't be here anyway, and I permit you to take her away, but... are you sure you can withstand Hera's wrath?"】

Queen Hera, mistress of Mount Olympus, was second in strength only to the three God Kings of Sea, Underworld, and Sky, and the Goddess of Victory, Athena.

Her anger was naturally not something an ordinary person could withstand, but as it happened, Lin Ye was not afraid of her.

【"She's still dissatisfied? People just said they were prettier than her, and she threw them into hell to be tortured, and she's still dissatisfied?"

Lin Ye patted Orion on the shoulder and said confidently, "If she has any dissatisfaction, let her come. We have no fear."

"Good!" Hades smiled as he watched this. "Then, I shall see if you can escape Hera's sanction."

Hades waved his hand, and a figure appeared directly before Orion.

The moment he saw this figure, Orion rushed up excitedly, and the woman, seeing Orion, threw herself into his arms.

"Orion! Did you really come to save me?"

"Side! Thank goodness! I finally found you!"

Watching the two embrace, Hades nodded with satisfaction. He had always been quite dissatisfied with Hera overstepping her bounds by throwing people into his domain, and especially since he had seen someone as interesting as Lin Ye, he was naturally willing to help them.】

Hades was actually a genuinely good person; he could be called the conscience of Olympus. Whether in Pan-Human History or the Lostbelt, Hades was quite decent; in the Lostbelt, he even led the resistance against Zeus, only to be wiped out by him.

Hades' only black mark was the Underworld Queen beside him. At the time, he had taken a fancy to her and snatched her to the Underworld, though the Queen was willing to marry him. Unfortunately, she still cheated later... Ahem, as for who that man was, different versions had different people.

In Roman mythology, it was his foster son Adonis, while in Greek mythology, it was Zeus.

【Hades signaled that they could take Side away, but Side had to follow behind them, and they were absolutely forbidden to look back on the way, or she would return to the Underworld.

You nodded to show you understood, and then...

You punched Orion, knocking him unconscious, then the Chains of Heaven appeared. You tethered Orion with one hand and Side with the other, waved at Hades, and flew toward the human world with one in each hand.

Hades...】

"Done."

Watching this, Lin Ye smiled. Now that Orion's wife had been found, he should be able to live his life at home in peace.

【In the human world, you brought Orion and Side to the ground. The two thanked you profusely, and you looked at them with a smile.

Orion said he would take Side back to his hometown to live a quiet life. He extended an invitation to you, but at this moment, a figure descended from the sky.

"You two can go back if you want, but he must stay."

This figure! It was none other than the Moon Goddess Artemis!】

"What!" Orion frowned. As a top-tier hunter, how could he not know the Goddess of the Hunt!

"She seems to be targeting the Boss. How did the Boss provoke her?"

Orion was confused.

On the other side, Lin Ye was quite embarrassed.

"Is this... necessary? I just saw you bathing, is it worth chasing me this far?"

【Orion protected Side behind him and took out his bow and bronze hammer again, but you signaled for him to leave.

You walked directly to Artemis and said to her,

"What happened back then was my fault, but this has nothing to do with them. Let them go, and I will take whatever you throw at me afterward."】

Lin Ye was quite confident. Orion, who had not become a Grand Servant, still had a gap in strength compared to a Major God, not to mention he was dragging Side along. Letting the two burdens leave first, he would definitely not be at a disadvantage fighting Artemis himself.

【However, hearing your words, Orion came to your side. He looked at Artemis fearlessly and said loudly,

"Boss, how could I, Orion, be the type to fear death! Today, let us create a legend together!"

Lin Ye...】

What the hell is "facing it together"? What use are you staying here? Besides being a burden, what else can you do?

Looking at the two of you, Artemis revealed a smile, and then she looked at you with some embarrassment and said,

"I'm not here to cause you trouble. That matter... I forgive you... but you must come with me. You provoked Hera, and she will not let you go!"】

"This... she forgave me?"

Lin Ye was stunned. He didn't think Artemis was the type to insist on marrying someone just because they saw her body; this wasn't ancient China. When did ancient Greece ever care about that?

Then, why was she helping him so much?

"Could it be that my charm is too great, and Artemis fell in love with me at first sight?"

Stop joking, the Moon Goddess wouldn't be that shallow. ===== CHAPTER 355 =====
