Chapter 171: Chapter 173: Anyone Would Be Bewildered by This
It was still the palace where Hades and Persephone resided, but this time the situation had become even more bizarre.
Qin Muye sat silently as Hades looked at Qin Muye and Persephone with a face full of horror, while Persephone appeared utterly bewildered.
The original scenario was that of an illegitimate child and the legitimate wife, but now the problem had grown significantly— the illegitimate child had turned into a legitimate son, but the legitimate wife did not know when she had given birth to this child.
And Hades had mistaken his legitimate son for an illegitimate one, nearly causing chaos.@@@@
“Is there a problem? Did I activate the wrong Titan Bloodline?” Qin Muye asked knowingly.
“Well, there’s one thing—your mother might not be Liu Ke,” Hades said.
Qin Muye nodded, “You see, I told you that you were mistaken, we definitely have no...”
“Your mother is me,” Persephone interrupted Qin Muye’s words, “You possess the Eleusinian Mysteries within you, perhaps due to your bloodline being washed over, so it is incomplete.”
“Besides, I also feel my blood flowing in you, so... you are not the offspring of Liu Ke, but rather, you are the offspring of King Hades and me.”
Persephone quickly rid herself of her bewildered expression; this was absurd.
“So... what exactly are the Eleusinian Mysteries?” Qin Muye asked.
“???” Hades was utterly puzzled, now isn’t the time to be discussing the Eleusinian Mysteries, why did you switch to that topic?
“Let’s not talk about that right now, but I don’t remember ever bearing you,” Persephone said, staring at Qin Muye.
“Maybe, you should go ask King Hades?” Qin Muye said frustratedly.
This certainly couldn’t be said to be a bloodline he created himself; that would be inappropriate.
So the blame was definitely shifted to Hades, for as far as the matter was concerned, it was handled by Hades and had nothing to do with Qin Muye.
He wasn’t Zeus, after all, why would he deal with this kind of matter, although there were many doubts, but the fact is that the bloodline was real, this could cover all the doubts.
Moreover, the person involved, namely the former counterpart of Qin Muye, the White Horse Prince, had drifted along the Nether River, surviving through it all was remarkable enough. Much could no longer be verified.
“Could it have been Zeus who tampered with it?” Hades said solemnly.
No matter what the situation, Hades didn’t want to take the blame and could only shift it to Zeus.
Persephone’s expression grew serious, “He must explain this matter.”
If it were any other divine being, they might not necessarily be capable of such a feat, but Zeus truly was.
If he hadn’t been able to change into the Bloodline of Dionysus, the son of the Netherworld, he might have chosen Dionysus because of Queen of the Underworld Persephone, but now things were different; he had much more freedom to choose.
Hades and the Queen of the Underworld looked at each other and ultimately respected Qin Muye’s choice.
“Very well, I hope you can restore your own divine rank, Dionysus,” Hades said.
“You’re still going to live in Elysium, right? If you need anything, you can come directly to me, and I’ll try to accommodate your requests,” said Queen of the Underworld Persephone, not Hades, since naturally, she was trying to repair the relationship.
Previously, he was a bastard, so there had been no intention to show Qin Muye a good face, but now the scenario had suddenly changed to him being her own son, making the previous treatment quite an embarrassing matter.
“I won’t go to Elysium anymore. I think the Netherworld is too poor, the rules need changing, or else we will always be oppressed by Zeus and Poseidon,” Qin Muye stated bluntly in the palace of the Netherworld Dominator, where even the King of the Gods couldn’t peep.
The pair quickly imagined what he implied, although Qin Muye hadn’t said anything, he was clearly resentful toward Zeus, but the opposite party was too powerful to handle easily.
“Dionysus, you must understand, this is no simple matter. Even though I am Hades, there are very powerful divine entities in the Netherworld besides me, like the Judge who weighs the sins of the dead, a progeny of Zeus,” he explained.
“Makaria, the goddess in charge of rest, is the daughter of Hercules; Charon, Thanatos, Hypnos, and others are progeny of Night Goddess Nyx.”
“The Titan Goddess Hecate representing roads, gateways, the underworld, the night, ghosts, and magic witchcraft.”
“Zeus’s daughter, the goddess of the River of Hate and the goddess of Oaths, Styx.”
“They won’t oppose me, but they will oppose you,” Hades simply explained the situation in the Netherworld.
This made Qin Muye’s heart sink halfway; the Netherworld wasn’t just infiltrated, it was utterly unguarded.
The Netherworld was a huge pitfall; how was he to proceed? He had thought it would be easy to grasp.
“Similarly, the subjects of Zeus and Poseidon are the same; you need not worry about the Netherworld gods opposing us,” Hades continued, seemingly understanding Qin Muye’s thoughts and further clarified.
“Relying on persuasion won’t be reliable; we need to bind these beings of the Titan Divine Race with tangible benefits,” Qin Muye declared.
Qin Muye knew the Netherworld was home to quite a few significant figures, not just the Night Goddess, the Dark God, and gods of the Abyss, but also the former Divine King Cronos was there as well.
“Benefits?” Hades was taken aback. What benefits could possibly hold them?
The Titan Divine Race could live forever without aging; as long as they weren’t killed, they possessed endless lifespans.
“Wealth, beauty, power won’t work; the Titan Divine Race would wreak havoc on the world,” Qin Muye said, making Hades quite uncomfortable, especially since the palace was loaded with members of the Titan Divine Race.
“If nothing else works, we might have to resort to entertainment,” Qin Muye pondered and decided not to engage the Netherworld’s Titan Divine Race in wealth just yet; first, he needed to corrupt their spirits.
Seeing as they enjoyed pleasures, Qin Muye planned to start from there.
Then utilizing biotechnology to create attractive men, women, and various bizarre XP modes, it would suffice to whisper in their ears when the time came.
