"So find your way out of the labyrinth, clever humans."

The rich voice faded into the gloom. Silence settled over the labyrinth, broken only by Cornelius and Krov's breathing and the sound coming from the phone.

"The Minotaur Labyrinth?"

Krov was still reeling from the fact that he had been in Greece moments ago and was now inside a labyrinth, but his viewers had already caught on.

"The Minotaur Labyrinth? The one built by Minos, one of the three rulers of the Underworld and supreme ruler of the First Hell? Isn't it supposed to be called the Cretan Labyrinth?"

"They're just different names for the same labyrinth. And Minos may have become a god of the Underworld after his death, but he hardly ranks among its gods. Hades, Hecate, Persephone, Thanatos, and the primordial couple Nyx and Erebus all outrank him. 'Three rulers of the Underworld' is just an anime term. There's no such title in actual Greek Mythology."

"If I remember right, the Minotaur's mother, Pasiphaë, was Minos's wife, but his father wasn't Minos. He was an unnamed bull sent by Poseidon. So Minos got cheated on..."

"Do not blaspheme against the gods. Do not blaspheme against the gods. Do not blaspheme against the gods. It's important enough to say three times."

"This Minotaur Labyrinth looks different from the one in the myths. I've been to its ruins. They're badly damaged, but I'm sure there were no stairs going down forever. This feels less like a labyrinth and more like a path to a cellar or buried treasure."

"Maybe someone escaped the Minotaur Labyrinth before, and the way out became common knowledge, so the Minotaur built a new one?"

"..."

The YouTube chat erupted into debate. These days, anything connected to the mysterious could capture the public's interest.
