Chapter 262
To make Ereshkigal feel the same way.
That's how the underworld is; as a place where all things die, it's impossible for any living beings to exist there.
Fortunately, when Wuming went to the underworld, he said there were flowers there, which helped her stop being so depressed.
Just then...
The nameless man smiled and said, "The flower in this underworld is none other than you Persephone, standing before me!"
"Huh?"
Queen of the Underworld Persephone, suddenly froze.
The more I look at them, the more pleasing they seem.
Of course, she didn't care about his handsome looks; she simply thought he had a pleasant voice.
He truly deserves to be the chosen one, prophesied to save the gods.
???
Ereshkigal stared blankly at the other person, just as she did.
I was here first, so why would you say that to another woman?
How come you're so skilled at this?
How many times have you told other people behind my back?
Ishtar couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha, as expected of the Nameless One."
"..."
Tohsaka Rin was speechless for a moment.
Come to think of it, Justice Partner has walked through Human History and encountered countless Heroic Spirit spirits and deities would naturally have a knack for witty remarks.
Under the watchful eyes of the three.
A red Seeds quietly appeared in Wuming's hand. "This is a flower I cultivated from a sliver of creative power I obtained from Mother of All in another world, suitable for growing in the underworld."
I named it -- the Higanbana.
The Seeds gently fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it took root, sprouted, and blossomed into a bright red flower.
Each stamen extends freely, giving it a vibrant yet mysterious appearance, making it extremely alluring and beautiful.
"Higanbana... thank you!"
Persephone smiled.
Just as she was about to reach out and touch Wuming, she discovered that a figure had suddenly appeared between the two of them.
It was King Hades.
He grabbed the nameless man by the shoulder and threw him directly into the River Styx: "Congratulations on completing the trial. I will grant you the baptism of the River Styx, allowing you to gain Immortal Body!"
After a while...
After the nameless one finished its baptism in the River Styx.
Just as he climbed out, Persephone said with great concern, "Your clothes are wet, take them off quickly. Soaking in the Styx for too long isn't good for you."
She possessed a stern demeanor and elegant manners, resembling a regal Queen.
This is assuming we don't see him actually taking off his clothes!
"No! No!"
Wuming quickly took a few steps back.
This is the underworld; even if he had ten lives, he wouldn't dare take advantage of someone else's wife.
King Hades, coldly snorted, "In my name, Hades, the underworld will forever close its gates to you!"
A sudden burst of divine power sent Nameless and Mashu flying out of the Underworld!
Countless onlookers burst into laughter.
[Haha, honest Hades is panicking! If he doesn't get rid of Nameless soon, his wife will be kidnapped!]
[Damn, are high-charisma Crowned Beauty really this capricious?]
[Sorry, being handsome just gives you the freedom to do whatever you want!]
[Tsk, Achilles being held by the heel by his mother gives his Immortal Body an extra weakness. Meanwhile, Nameless was thrown into the River Styx by King Hades, leaving him with no weaknesses!]
"Another goddess has emerged!!!"
Ilya couldn't help but grit her teeth.
It's terrifying! Even goddesses couldn't resist his charm and were all won over.
After the video ends, these twelve gods will come knocking. Who can withstand them?
"This is really troublesome..."
Miyu also expressed her concerns.
My brother's charm is just too great; not to mention gods, even the Humanity's Evil Tiamat can't resist it.
I wonder if that Humanity's Evil will step in to protect my brother...
Under the worried gaze of the two.
The scene suddenly shifted to the other side.
There stood the statue of Cronus, who had appeared at the beginning.
He received the Holy Grail from the Demon God King Goetia, which freed him from the seal.
In one fell swoop, all the imprisoned Titan God, along with countless demons from hell, broke free!
Giants, larger than mountains, were so powerful they were terrifying.
The earth was rumbling.
They have begun their ultimate revenge, which will surely destroy the entire world.
Kill all the gods and humans, leaving none alive!
"So many terrifying giants! No wonder Nameless wanted to join forces with the gods!" Ilya's face turned pale.
Heracles, known as the Little Giant, was only a little over two meters tall.
But among these giants...
The smallest are tens of meters tall, while the largest are over a thousand meters tall!
Cronus, who was once defeated by Zeus, the King of Gods, has devoured many Titan God and now possesses terrifying power far surpassing his previous strength!
It's terrifying beyond compare; I really don't know how to fight against it!
Not only her, but all the audience members were also deeply moved.
Megalophobia!
A colossal giant, more imposing than any god!
Under the stunned gaze of everyone.
The video feed then cuts back to the location where the anonymous person was.
Another deity appeared on the screen.
She possessed an exceptionally beautiful face, yet wore ordinary clothes, and was gazing at a farmhouse kitchen in the distance where people were cooking over a fire.
He said softly, "Nameless, what are you fighting for?"
This goddess is Hestia, the Goddess of the Hearth.
One of the Three Virgin Goddesses of Olympus, she is more deserving of the title of conscience of the Olympian Gods Hades!
To escape the pursuit of Poseidon and Apollo, He chose to take control of the hearth fire in the human world.
It is a right that the gods care least about, making it the most transparent existence among the gods.
"To reclaim the flame of hope for humanity, and so that I myself can survive!" Nameless answered earnestly.
"We gods can see that the flame of human hope will one day be extinguished. To protect it will require an immeasurable price."
Hestia's eyes seemed to flicker with flames.
"If there is no torch after this, I will be the only light!"
Wuming stared at the other person with unwavering determination.
Even in the darkest of nights, there are still those who firmly believe in the light.
Even when covered in wounds, even when bleeding from the head, even when toiling away all one's life, one still illuminates oneself and shines upon others.
Now, it's his turn to light the flame!
"I am the only light... Nameless, will you link the fire?"
Hestia now held a torch in her hand, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at the other person.
This man possesses an unwavering will that even death cannot destroy, making him arguably the strongest guardian of humanity.
"Of course I'm willing."
The nameless man reached out and took the torch, a smile suddenly spreading across his face. "Goddess of the Hearth, the reason I fight is because behind me are the Myriad Lights of Homes, countless happy families, so I must win!"
"Then let's go and pass the torch! Run towards Olympus with the torch in hand!"
Hestia reached out and touched the boy's head.
She is in charge of the hearths of all people, symbolizing the happiness and harmony of countless families.
Once the flames are extinguished, it means the family is torn apart, separated, or killed.
If all the fires in the hearths go out, all of humanity will perish!
Hestia said gently, "Run forward, shatter the darkness and despair, and spread the flame of hope for humanity!"
"Good!"
The nameless man, holding a torch, ran all the way towards the distant Olympus.
While it is running.
[Alaya] has surprisingly started playing background music, and the stirring melody of "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" begins to play.
Run forward, facing the cold stares and ridicule!
How can one truly appreciate the vastness of life without experiencing hardship?
Fate cannot force us to kneel and beg for mercy!
Even if my arms are stained with blood!
Keep running, with the pride of a child.
How can you see the brilliance of life without persevering to the end?
[Rather than lingering on in misery, let's burn brightly!]
Accompanied by stirring music, the figure of Wuming running wildly with the torch in hand appeared so lonely, yet so full of strength.
That is the torch of hope.
That is the flame of a bright future.
That is a happy and peaceful tomorrow!
Countless viewers were immediately amazed.
Hestia truly lives up to her reputation as the conscience of the gods; her trials are a true test of conscience!
[Young man, will you pass the torch? Did the Olympic torch relay really begin with anonymity?]
