Omega Summoner

Chapter 1979: Underworld Duty I

Adrian is escorted deeper into the levels of the castle in Hades. Just as Adrian surmised, the entire castle is made of Stygian Ore that repels the passage of the dead souls. This is to make sure that the dead do not wander around and hide inside of the castle or escape to the reincarnation cycle located inside the castle.

Even Adrian does not know where or how the stygian ore is harvested due to it being an extremely kept secret in the underworld.

Due to the nature of stygian ore, the halls of the castle are obsidian in color, but they have this dark gleam that creates light that will illuminate the halls. It is not only the stygian ore that is noteworthy as there are numerous treasures that can be seen in the castle. Some are precious art or precious ores that would make any king or queen salivate from seeing them.

One often depicts the God of Death Hades as a god that is evil or corrupt, but he was actually the most decent among his family members. He is also the one that could be said as extremely loyal to his wife. This bad depiction is actually due to adaptations of popular media, but he is actually the most chill among the gods of his genealogy.

Of course, even the calmest being would become the fiercest beast when their loved ones are in danger.

The reason why the God of Death Hades being relaxed is that he is content with his kingdom. He is the famed God of Death that rules a vast underworld and all the things hidden in the ground. Back then when the Church of Light has yet to get influence, miners would often pray to him to get good harvest for ores that they will dig up.

It is said that he is the god that gives treasures that can be found hidden in the earth.

In other words, the God of Death Hades does not only have a bigger kingdom compared to his other brothers but also incredibly rich. He is not jealous of his brothers as he is confident and content with what he got. Even now, the most revered and known among them is him as he is a God of Death that other gods fear more than his god king brother.

”Greetings, Champion Equinox.” A boy that looks like the same age as Adrian suddenly appeared before him.

”Your majesty, do you not have any other duties? Does your esteemed father know that you are here?” Megaera stated as she did not expect the Son of Hades to suddenly appear before him.

”Greetings, God of Rebirth Zagreus.” Adrian stated as he now has knowledge of all gods that are associated with death and life.

”You know me! That is good! So, can you do me a favor and help me escape from here? I want to experience the mortal world! Wait! I remember that my father can be summoned.

Do you think that you can summon me as well?” The God of Rebirth Zagreus stated.

”Unfortunately, I cannot do that as summoning Gods of Death is already related to great taboos that I can only negate due to the immense mana in summoning. If I try to summon you then I fear that I may die after a few seconds. You are not just a god of death after all as you are also a god of life.” Adrian stated honestly.

”Please pay no heed to the whims of the young master. He always tries to escape from Hades, but he always dies after five days in the mortal realm. I am sure that you know of it as you have become the mediator in charge of the Gods of Death.” Megaera stated.

Adrian nodded as he has learned the brief summary of the God of Rebirth Zagreus from a memory. The God of Rebirth Zagreus is different compared to a God of Death or a God of Life as he is both and stuck between worlds. Still, he cannot live long in the mortal realm as he actually died there when a war between the Titans and the Gods of Olympus occurred.

Due to his unique nature, he was actually revived in Hades where he was born and thus, he became the God of Rebirth.

A unique god that can negate causality as even gods should die when all of their essence is destroyed but not him. The God of Rebirth Zagreus is actually the one that fixed the reincarnation cycle of the mortals as it was not perfect when it first created. Due to this, he is actually the favorite great grandchild of the Goddess of Life Gaea.

”I am doing my duty of looking for ways to escape the underworld so that we can solidify security. This is for my great duty as the son of the God of Death Hades!” The God of Rebirth Zagreus stated as he has been trapped in the underworld for five years already.

”Alecto, please come and collect the prince.” Megaera stated and another fury suddenly appeared behind the God of Rebirth Zagreus.

”Since the prince wants to go to the mortal realm, you should be prepared when the chance comes. We shall now go and proceed with your training.” Alecto stated as she easily picked up the God of Rebirth Zagreus and vanished.

”Apologies for that display that the prince has shown you. Please erase that in your memory if possible as we need him to maintain his dignity.” Megaera stated.

”No worries as I actually found it entertaining. I always wondered what gods do to pass the time as they are immortal beings after all. I guess each god is quirky in that way which widens my perspective.” Adrian stated as he knew that gods are beings that need to be quirky or have things to do or else they might go mad. If a god goes mad, then they might destroy the world itself.
