;
"Uh-huh"
When the three of them pushed open the solid wood door, a dark marble passage appeared in front of them, as well as a faint sound of crying.
Seeing this, John and Mylon turned on the night vision function of Thor's Hammer Helmet.
"Ma'am." Mylon asked Athena kindly, "Can we turn on the lights to help you illuminate?"
As a female war goddess, Athena's own eyesight is enough to support her in seeing everything clearly, and she does not need any night vision goggles or lights.
"No need." Then she just replied quietly, then walked in front and said:
"You two, follow closely. No matter what situation you encounter later, you can only fire when I give an order. Do you understand?"
"Yes, ma'am." x2
John and Mylon replied simultaneously.
"Very good, let's go."
Immediately afterwards, Athena led two Sparta into this invisible tunnel.
John behind the helmet could clearly see the murals and inscriptions engraved on the marble walls through the display of the mask, and asked through the communication:
"Doctor, can you see clearly?"
Halsey, who was watching everything from afar on the Phantom, also responded via communication, "Don't worry, the clarity is good and the communication is smooth.
John, just concentrate on completing the exploration mission."
"Yes." John nodded lightly.
After a while.
Mylon looked back at the previous entrance and found that he could not see the entrance illuminated by magma.
You must know that Mylon, as a Sparta, can clearly see nearby situations and even bright points in the distance even with the naked eye deep inside this dark passage.
Not to mention that Mylon is also wearing the exclusive Thor's Hammer.
But now Mylon can't see the original entrance at all.
"John" In order to make sure that he was not dazzled, Mylon asked John: "Can you still see the door just now?"
Hearing this, John also looked back, then shook his head slightly and said, "No."
"I wonder if this is a cover-up?"
At this time, Athena turned around and explained, "After entering the underworld, you can only leave the underworld with the permission of the King of Hades or the Queen of Hades.
If we explain it according to the scientific method that Catherine likes, it means that there is Spatial distortion's device in the underworld, so let's move on."
John, who had been to Duat once, was already familiar with the Plutos of various worlds, and seemed to have some kind of ability to distort space, and then replied nonchalantly:
"Yes."
"Okay." As for Mylon, he glanced at John and Athena, shrugged indifferently, and continued to move deeper into the passage.
It's not that Mylon is too naive, but he feels that as long as John is with him, he can handle any situation he encounters.
After all, Mylon knows that his brother has an incredible Good Luck.
The rest of the journey was speechless.
After the three of them advanced for about ten minutes, they finally saw a faint bright spot at the end of the passage, and then the three of them quickened their pace.
When the bright spot got closer and closer, the three of them discovered that it was a square and neat exit, with a scarlet light flashing outside the exit.
After passing through the exit, the three of them came to a very vast plain.
The surface of this plain is extremely dry, without any vegetation, and the source of the scarlet light is the flowing magma surrounding this plain.
Moreover, this bright magma liquid is not as viscous as real magma, but flows like normal river water.
However, this river shares the same characteristics as magma, which is scorching heat, and heat waves sweep across this plain.
In addition to this anomaly, there are spirit bodies wearing various costumes.
"Where am I"
"This is"
"Why"
These spirits are translucent, some are middle-aged and elderly people wearing hospital clothes, some are young people with blood stains on their bodies, and there are even children carrying schoolbags.
Through physical observation, we found that most of these spirits are of the European Europa race, and a very few are of other skin colors.
It seems that as Athena said, the underworld of the Greek world only accepts humans from the Greek world.
Moreover, these spirits were still talking to themselves, as if they had not yet accepted that they were dead, and were wandering slowly on the plain.
"I'm going..." Mylon saw the ghost-like spirit and whispered to John, "It seems that we are the only living people here."
"Yeah." John nodded lightly.
"Okay." Athena, who was standing in front of the two of them, turned around and reminded them:
"Never talk to these dead people. They have not yet recognized the fact that they are dead. Once their self-awareness is disturbed, they are likely to become lonely ghosts.
Do you know?"
"Yes, ma'am." x2
"Let's go."
After ending the conversation, Athena continued to lead the two Sparta towards the depths of the plain.
During this period, the spirits wandering around the three of them looked at them with dull eyes, but then they stopped paying attention and continued to wander around aimlessly.
Soon, they passed through a plain with a large number of spirit beings, and the land they were on became narrower and narrower, while the scarlet rivers on both sides became wider and wider.
Until they came to the end of the plain, which was also a man-made dock.
I didn't know what kind of wood was used for this pier. Even if it was thrown into the scalding river, it remained intact and could not burn at all.
What stayed at the front of the pier was a man wearing a black robe, his eyes emitting a faint blue light, and holding a long paddle with both hands.
The skeleton was standing on the bow of the ship, staring at the Athena three people who came to the dock with its empty eyes that emitted a faint blue light.
"..."
Mylon didn't complain about anything this time, because he had seen this kind of movable skeleton as early as the battle in Egypt.
As for Athena, he knows who this skeleton is, Ferryman of the Styx, Charon in Greek mythology.
At this time, Athena smiled, walked slowly to Charon and said, "Long time no see, Charon."
"Ha"
Charon opened its skull's mouth and let out some kind of thick breathing sound, as if it was responding to Athena's greetings.
Immediately afterwards, Charon stretched out its left hand in front of Athena.
"Haha, wait a minute."
Athena immediately understood the meaning of Charon. She responded with a smile and put away Golden War Spear and the battle shield. Then her right hand emitted a faint light and a gold coin appeared.
Athena put the gold coin on Charon's left hand and said, "Now you can take us to Elysian Fields."
"Ha"
Charon leisurely put the coins into the pocket of its robe, but then raised its left hand and stretched out two skull fingers.
The meaning is obvious, if there is not enough money, one coin per person.
"Hey..." Seeing Charon's appearance, Athena smiled helplessly, "You are still so greedy."
