The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 749 - 148 Did the Old Priestess Mess Up_2
Chapter 749: Chapter 148: Did the Old Priestess Mess Up?_2 Chapter 749: Chapter 148: Did the Old Priestess Mess Up?_2 “Since they were prepared, they should not have been utterly defeated.”
But Diana was still skeptical and asked anxiously,
“Then where did they go?”
Hecate did not answer but turned to her disciple, with a testing look.
Luo En, understanding her meaning, calmly revealed the answer:
“All things are born from ‘Chaos,’ order stems from ‘Nothingness.’ While the world above may now be stable, deep within the Netherworld, there remains a realm that even ‘Heavenly Destiny’ can hardly touch…”
“Abyss Land—Tartarus!”
Hermes, the first to respond, exclaimed out loud, realizing in his heart:
That’s right, this god-forsaken place is connected to ‘Nothingness,’ where the authority and Divine Power of the gods are significantly weakened.
But by the same token, Tartarus Hell serves not only as a Prison for the Ancient Gods but also as a refuge from the interference of ‘Heavenly Destiny’!
...
As everyone pieced together the truth like unwinding a cocoon, Luo En, looking at the night sky slowly fading outside the tent, spoke in a deep voice:
“It seems I must take a trip to the Netherworld.”
The Three Fates have already met with disaster, Zeus now holds sway over Heavenly Destiny, and it is still unknown just how powerful His Majesty the King of Gods has become.
But since during the last upheaval on Olympus, ten Chief Gods acting together failed to bring down the former Zeus, Luo En did not believe that he, along with Hecate and Hermes, could overthrow this Heavenly Destiny Divine King who had evolved to his ultimate form.
Thus, before the war officially begins, contact must be made with the reclusive gods of War God Mountain, gathering all forces and assets, in the hope of perhaps being able to arm-wrestle with the now-enforced Zeus.
Upon hearing this, Hecate seemed to think of something and hesitated, frowning slightly:
“But the Netherworld…”
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
Luo En gave Hecate a meaningful glance, then stepped out of the tent and looked towards a certain part of the camp, his eyes flickering with a deep light.
Before he left, there was another matter to attend to.
Moments later, a streak of light flashed through the thin mist of dawn, plummeting towards the Chilika Swamp to the east.
At the same time, inside the Commander’s tent in Mycenae.
A graceful figure with a sense of something afoot opened her purple eyes and looked up at the slightly bright sky; her crimson lips gradually curved into a pleased smile.

Several days later, at Chilika Swamp on the Asia Peninsula.
A hooded visitor, with strands of bright silver hair peeking from the sides, arrived quietly.
This swamp, located to the east, bordered the sea on one side and stretched towards the continent on the other, with a humid climate and many Dungeons.
Due to the perpetual mist, it was both peaceful and isolated, home to many Magic Beasts and Nymphs.
Among these natives, the most famous were undoubtedly Demon Ancestor Typhon, Echidna the Mother of Serpents, and a host of Typhon’s Offspring.
Yes, the top-tier Divine Monsters familiar to the Greeks had once lived here.
The nameless visitor walked through the fog, crossing wastelands and depressions, avoiding swamps and rivers, and after a series of twists and turns, finally arrived before a cliff draped with green vegetation.
Here it is, Arima Cave!
Luo En pulled down his hood and traced several lines of Hermes Script on the cliff face.
“Buzz!”
The air vibrated lightly, and the cliff wall rippled like water, revealing an entrance concealed by Magic, a dark passage leading straight into the depths of the earth.
And indeed, it was so.
Here lay a secret passage from the Mortal World into the Netherworld, known only to a select few.
Hmm, the Curse is still in effect, and no extra traces on the surface—it seems still safe.
After a cautious check, Luo En bent down to enter the Dungeon, heading deeper underground.
Having been here several times, he knew the complicated underground paths well and quickly passed through them, emerging from the Dungeon.
A grey, hazy World filled his view, and the familiar scent of death made Luo En feel almost nostalgic.
It’s just a pity, devoid of those more familiar barks.
Luo En glanced at the empty dog den beside him, shook his head, and followed the sound to the banks of the Styx, where he tossed a Gold Coin into the rushing waters.
Soon enough, Ferryman Charon, manning his oar, approached through the thick fog in his boat.
“It’s you?”
Charon, seeing the familiar face on the shore, immediately rubbed his hands excitedly, displaying an eagerness to serve.
“Come, come. Please!”
Being a regular, Luo En deftly pulled out a bag of gold coins and bluntly stated,
“Take me to Tartarus Hell.”
Charon hesitated hearing this, not taking the offered bag of coins, and chuckled awkwardly,
“I’m afraid that’s not possible. Tartarus has been placed under martial law, and without an order from the Underworld King, no one is allowed to intrude.”
“I see…”
Luo En nodded thoughtfully and, with an unchanged smile, tossed the gold coins over.
“Then take me to the Underworld King’s palace; I’ll speak with him directly.”
Charon looked at the bag of coins in his hand, seemingly hesitant, but eventually could not resist the temptation of money and complied obediently.
“Please sit tight. We’ll be there in no time!”

As the client settled in, Charon pushed his oar into the water, and the rickety boat, like an arrow released from a bow, cut through the dense fog over the river and headed for the majestic and imposing palace deep in the Netherworld.
A quarter of an hour later, the familiar outlines of buildings came into Luo En’s view, the destination just a stone’s throw away.
Charon pushed his oar to dock the boat, hesitated for a moment, and couldn’t help but whisper a warning to Luo En as he disembarked,
“You might want to be careful, the Underworld King hasn’t had the best temper these past few years.”
