The Styx is not actually a river.
It is a sub-plane created by the gods using their own power in the deep space of the universe to transport souls!
Here we have to involve another thing that Asgard hates the gods.
That is the soul.
Like the earth, after the creatures of the alien planet die, their souls will return to nature. But the gods interrupted this natural process.
The first to use the souls of creatures in the universe were demons. Although demons do not live in the material universe, they will plunder the souls of the real universe and then supply their own survival and development. The soul itself is also a very high-quality energy source.
The difference lies in how to use it.
The gods also understood the mystery of the soul. They established the underworld and heaven, which is actually the essence of squeezing the soul.
This makes the Asgardians very unhappy. They think it is an evil way.
In fact, accepting the power of faith itself is also related to the soul, but the gods are more cunning than demons. Demons use the power of the soul, simply and crudely, and catch, torture and eat. The gods are more like boiling frogs in warm water. They set up hell, which is similar to the devil's method. The souls tortured in hell are the devil's own way, squeezing the soul power. As for heaven... it just gives people a good wish.
Because no matter which mythological system, there are always fewer people going to heaven than going to hell.
This is the main reason.
And the Styx is, in a sense, the channel for transporting these soul powers.
So this place is extremely important. In any pantheon, only the death god can pass through the Styx, and other gods are not allowed to pass.
However, there are policies above and countermeasures below.
It is human nature to live by the mountains and the water. Even in the universe, it is the same.
Just like now. The special feature of the Styx is that it flows through the underworld or the death realm of all pantheons, that is, it is the largest transportation hub of the Pantheon. Such good conditions, it is a waste if not used for smuggling. So basically all the gods of death in the pantheon have some side jobs, but of course they can't be too much. Everyone regards this as a benefit, but if you go too far, it's equivalent to destroying everyone's rice bowl, so although there is smuggling, it won't be too much. This is also the reason why Charon was not very willing to take this business before.
If you want to transport some things, or a few souls who want to smuggle, Charon really doesn't care. Even if they are discovered, they will throw the passengers into the Styx and there will be no evidence. Nothing will happen. But the problem is that now Aphrodite not only came by herself, but also brought two strangers!
If the "ticket" paid by Aphrodite was not really tempting, Charon might not accept it.
The group is beautiful on the Styx.
The Styx is not scary, on the contrary, it is very beautiful. It is like an invisible river flowing in the universe. Only special dead soul ships can travel on it. Apart from that, nothing can float on it. Even a feather falling on the Styx will sink quickly to the bottom.
The purest soul power is in the Styx, and even if the gods accidentally fall into it, they will be torn into pieces.
The three of them drifted on the Styx on a ferry made of the nails of the dead and the ashes left by the souls of the underworld.
It was very quiet here, and even made people feel drowsy.
Kai was just about to take a nap when he heard a sound. The sound was very light, but it made people listen unconsciously, making Kai feel more and more sleepy. At this moment, a warm sound surrounded Kai. It was Aphrodite who held Kai's head in her arms.
"Don't sleep, don't listen. On the Styx, anyone who falls asleep will be immediately attracted and swallowed by the Styx."
There are many taboos on the Styx, so sailing on the Styx is a very dangerous thing. This is also the reason why the Styx cannot be smuggled on a large scale. This thing is not like sailing on a real river. If there is a slight mistake, it is common for the ship to be destroyed and people to die. Even the god of death himself is a very dangerous thing to act on the Styx.
Kai nodded, and he listened to the advice.
But that sound is like a maggot on the tarsal bone. The less you care, the more it harasses you.
Although Kai tried his best to stay awake, he still couldn't stand it. This thing is really weird.
Of course it's weird. To put it bluntly, this is a river composed of the resentment of all living beings. Gods can resist such evil thoughts, but Kai is a real mortal.
Although he also has divine power, that thing is not in the same system as the gods of the Pantheon, so in essence, Kai and those guys in the Pantheon are not in the same system at all. So he is not a god.
He has less resistance to this thing.
On the contrary, Thor feels okay. However, he always wants to stick his head out to look at the Styx under the boat, but fortunately Charon stopped him.
"If you are really sleepy, then sleep in my arms."
Aphrodite whispered in Kai's ear.
In the past, Kai would never agree to such a thing. It was not because Kai was a gentleman, but mainly because he was wary of Aphrodite. But at this moment, he nodded with relief, like a sleepy child meeting his mother, and then gently leaned in Aphrodite's soft arms, breathing softly, and really fell asleep.
This is obviously not normal.
But now Kai didn't have the heart to think about these.
Aphrodite gently raised her lips.
This is also the reason why Aphrodite wanted to follow.
Kai was too prejudiced against her, and it was simply too difficult to steal food from Hera and Athena.
But what if she could create conditions?
Take advantage of others' weakness!
Aphrodite waved her hand gently, and a golden veil appeared and gently covered her and Kai.
Thor's eyes widened, not knowing what to do.
Stop it?
There seems to be no position.
Are you, a Nordic barbarian, responsible for other people's love affairs?
Don't you want to stop it?
Aphrodite clearly had bad intentions, and he was no fool.
But then I thought about it, even if Aphrodite really had any evil intentions, it was just to make Kai lose his virginity... At least in Thor's mind, this is not a big deal, what the hell, Kai is not a little girl, does he care about this?
During this time, Kate was not idle either. What's more, he stayed alone in the palace prepared for him by Hera. He only ate and slept, and there was no one to talk to him. And what about Kai? Lively and happy everywhere. Thordu wondered if this guy had lost his temper on Earth and came here to show off.
Forget it and let him be.
What a big deal.
The thing Aphrodite covered the two of them had a talking head. It was another artifact of Aphrodite... Aphrodite is the most unique god. The artifact that can fight is all over her body. There are no pieces.
There are just two artifacts specifically used for falling in love.
One is her gold belt.
Another thing is the golden transparent veil, which also has an origin.
This stuff also starts after Aphrodite refused Zeus's advances and was forced to marry Hephaestus.
Compared to her husband Hephaestus, the god of fire, who was lame and ugly, Aphrodite preferred the handsome and strong Ares, and gave birth to the little Eros, the god of love, and Antelos, the god of lust, with him. Harmonia, the goddess of coordination, and a pair of twins (Phobos, the god of terror, and Deimos, the god of terror) and several other children.
She has no feelings for Hephaestus at all, so her affair with Ares cannot be called an affair. It is very unscrupulous. In a sense, to put it bluntly, it is revenge on Hephaestus. However, this does not mean that Hephaestus is innocent.
You know, although Zeus did not play a good role in this, in the end it was Hephaestus who forcibly married Aphrodite.
Hephaestus was the son of Zeus and Hera, but because Hephaestus looked ugly, Hera threw him under Mount Olympus. Hephaestus tossed in the air for a day and fell to the ground. On the island of Munos. He became a cripple from then on. Fortunately, he was picked up and adopted by the sea goddess Thetis. As he grew up, he learned various crafts and then built an extremely beautiful chair - the Throne of Hephaestus. He secretly placed it in a place where his mother Hera, who did not recognize the relationship between mother and child, would pass by. The vain Hera took the bait immediately. She liked the charming chair and sat on it. Then, all the joints in her body were locked by the mechanism of the chair, making her unable to move, and her magic power disappeared. The gods asked Hephaestus to return to Olympus and free Hera, but Hephaestus repeatedly refused. Dionysus, the god of wine, got Hephaestus drunk, put him on the back of a mule, and took him to Mount Olympus. Hephaestus made three demands: the first is that Hera admit her mistake in abandoning him; the second is that he acknowledges his identity as the main god of Olympus; the third is that Aphrodite, the goddess of love, be Marry him as your wife. In order to save herself, Hera agreed to Hephaestus's three demands (of course, this was also encouraged by the old guy Zeus. He said that because Hephaestus was the most dedicated among all the gods, he would not let Afo Rodite betrothed him to avoid discord among the gods due to Aphrodite). So after marrying Aphrodite, Hephaestus finally released Hera.
Of course Aphrodite would not like the ugly and lame Goddess of Artisan, but there was nothing she could do about it. She could only obey the marriage promised by God King Zeus and Queen Hera.
So she took advantage of the fact that Hephaestus was not at home to have a secret tryst with Ares, and they had so many children!
Hephaestus made an elaborate golden net to cover them, making them embarrassed in front of the gods.
This incident caused a break between Hephaestus and Aphrodite.
Originally Hephaestus liked Aphrodite very much, and everyone disliked the God of Love and Beauty, but Aphrodite's revenge made Hephaestus desperate. He couldn't accept an unfaithful wife, not to mention that she humiliated him so much that in order to get revenge, she actually got together with his brother and even gave birth to several children.
So their marriage almost disappeared.
The two of them ignored each other, even now. Of course, Hephaestus did not stay with Aphrodite. He married Aglaia, one of the three goddesses of grace and the youngest. As the goddess of radiance, she is the embodiment of grace, grace and beauty. Aglaia was the daughter of Zeus, the king of the gods, and Eurynome, the goddess of the sea. She was also the second wife of Hephaestus, the god of fire, and had four daughters with Hephaestus. They are Ecleia (good reputation), Eupheme (praise), Eutenia (eloquence) and Philophrosyne (popularity).
It can be said that I am very happy.
The golden net used to trap Ares and Aphrodite was left to Aphrodite.
This net can be freely expanded and retracted, can become invisible, and can trap anyone at the same time. Even Ares, the god of war, was trapped in the net and was helpless.
But after being in the hands of Aphrodite, it became that no one could escape the shackles of love.
People who are caught in this net will fall in love with the people in the same net... a bit like the golden and silver arrows of Eros.
If it were normal, it would be difficult to use this net to cover Kai, after all, Aphrodite is the least capable of fighting among all the main gods.
When Charon saw the golden net, he was not surprised, but he was very envious.
People caught in the net of Eros will never escape the captivity of love.
The key is that Eros himself is also caught in the net.
No man can refuse the courtship of Eros... even the old man Charon. Although Charon's position is not high, his seniority is very high. He is the son of Erebus, the god of darkness, and Nyx, the goddess of night, of the five great gods of creation. Erebus and Nyx combined to give birth to Aether, the god of space, Hemera, the god of daylight, and Charon, the god of the river Styx.
If you really want to count, he is the grandfather of Zeus!
But even with such seniority, he couldn't resist the temptation of Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
Unfortunately, Aphrodite likes beautiful things and is not interested in old men.
So Charon is only envious, but not jealous.
He just wants to see what little Eros thinks of this scene.
Although he estimated that little Eros would not have any extreme reaction, after all, his mother had already found countless fathers for him, and he didn't need this one.
But this did not affect Charon's use of this to mock little Eros.
Life in the underworld is very boring.
Just as Charon was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a whimpering sound. Charon immediately grabbed the tattered clothes beside him and threw them to Thor: "Put it on quickly! They are coming!"
After that, he looked at Aphrodite and Kai.
Aphrodite was more alert than he thought. He saw the golden veil shaking, and then she and Kai disappeared without a trace!
"Who is coming?"
Thor asked curiously.
"Melinoë, daughter of Hades!"
Melinoë, a goddess with a unique status in the entire Olympian pantheon, is a nymph from under the earth and is considered to have two fathers. Hades loves her very much, and Zeus also takes good care of her.
Most importantly, she is the only daughter of Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld!
This gives her a transcendent status in the entire underworld.
Of course, this does not mean that Melinoë is a good girl. On the contrary, she symbolizes schemes and ghosts. She often appears in the image of a ghost, sometimes visible and sometimes invisible, sometimes dazzling in the dark, and launching attacks from the night.
She is the most difficult character on the Styx.
