I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 18

#18. Get the golden apple!

Damdeok looked blankly.

Persephone had already disappeared into the fog.

“No, what…”

Is it because it’s so absurd?

I couldn’t even speak properly.

“Wait a minute, this means…”

They prevented the dead from escaping, but they could not prevent Persephone from escaping.

Is this it?

“That means…”

I’m screwed.

It was definitely a disaster.

Because Persephone is a hundred times a thousand times more important to Hades than those dead people.

“Shit!”

You missed the most important thing!

I was about to chase after him but stopped.

Because I could feel the dead moving behind me…

“Are there still any left?”

Damdeok flew towards the dead at an incredible speed.

Sigh!

Every time Damdeok swept by, the dead were scattered like matchsticks.

The nymphs were each watching the scene with their mouths open.

“Wow, that’s amazing?”

“I think he’s a lot tougher than the last low-level god.”

“For sure…”

In an instant, numerous dead people flew inside the gate of the underworld.

It was a scene where there was no forced repatriation.

Damdeok threw away every last dead man and approached the stretched out Cerberus.

“hey! wake up!”

The guy who hasn’t moved since a while ago.

It seems like I received a fatal blow to the back of my head earlier.

‘Just let this guy guard the gates of the underworld and chase after him.’

We have to catch up quickly.

Damdeok became impatient and shook Cerberus with all his might. The horse was shaking, but it was almost like kicking.

“Hey! “There’s no time, so get up quickly!”

The nymphs were astonished by Damdeok’s actions.

What kind of being is Cerberus?

Although it is a canine monster, it is a creature called the guardian of hell and the mascot of the underworld.

Until now, all the low-level gods who had come to work part-time were unable to even say a word and just did their job and left.

But is it such a foolish act?

Regardless of the nymphs’ admiration, Damdeok was anxious.

It was obvious that if I let Persephone run away like that, I would end up in a thorn cushion for the remaining three days.

No, it’s lucky if it’s a thorn cushion.

When Hades returned, it seemed as if he would catch and kill him.

“Please wake up!!!”

The moment he screamed, Damdeok felt it.

The slightly restored divine power flowing out through the vocal cords….

[Voice recognition is complete!]

[The effect of ‘Cerberus Leash’ is activated!]

Cerberus slowly opened his eyes.

‘Oh… was this also used by infusing divine power?’

Damdeok immediately realized how to use it and drew a line in front of the Gate of the Underworld.

Kagagak!

“From now on, everyone who crosses this line will be killed, okay?”

Damdeok’s one-sided command.

Cerberus faced such Damdeok head on. These two were so close that they were less than 1 meter away.

“Did you understand?”

– Sigh!

Cerberus barked loudly.

The sight of him sitting straighter than ever was never meant as a threat.

“Okay hands!”

chuck! A hand reaching out.

“Get down!”

Cheek! A body that moves quickly.

“Last bread!”

– Panting!

The nymphs could not keep their mouths shut.

Anyway, the effect is that much with just a leash!

“Okay please!”

Damdeok gently rubbed Cerberus’ stomach, which had turned over, and then walked away.

As ordered, Cerberus stood in front of the Gate of the Underworld with a solemn look on his face.

Damdeok gathered the scattered logs and climbed on them.

“what. “Who is that god?”

“What on earth is going on?…”

The nymphs just stared blankly at Damdeok, who was moving away into the fog.

* * *

On the waters of the River Styx.

Damdeok was rowing vigorously with his arms.

“…Where on earth are you going?”

Persephone rowing in the front. She looked a little excited.

“You came along faster than I thought? After all, it’s not normal.”

“No, you said earlier that even one person should not cross the River Styx… How can you do this?”

At Damdeok’s words, Persephone made a vaguely sorry expression.

“sorry. But… I miss my mother so much.”

I was speechless for a moment.

mother.

A word that makes you infinitely weaker.

Damdeok responded in a more subdued voice.

“No, no matter what, we have prepared a plan…”

“Don’t worry, there are still two days left before my husband comes. “I’ll be back before then.”

Persephone’s tone was clear.

‘Anyway, I’m not going back now.’

“Can’t you go outside often?”

“Of course I have to stay here for four months out of the year. “Because that’s the contract.”

“How many months has it been now?”

“…for three months.”

Persephone’s voice became somber.

Honestly, I thought it would be difficult for me to be trapped in this gloomy world for four months.

‘There is no such thing as life in prison.’

Hades seems to be the most selfish god.

“Then what happens if Hades finds out that I left?”

Persephone grinned and answered that direct question.

“Well, I’ve never been caught before?”

what.

Wasn’t this your first time?

* * *

‘It’s impossible. swarm.’

Damdeok sighed deeply.

The two were still on the waters of the River Styx.

‘He doesn’t listen at all.’

I tried to talk to her several times, but I couldn’t withstand Persephone’s impenetrable speaking style.

‘But I don’t have the strength to force it yet.’

In the end, time passed without being able to do this or that.

In the distance, an entrance of dazzling sunlight is visible.

‘Was the River Styx connected to the outside world?’

It was amazing.

As I got closer to the entrance, my eyes naturally became sad.

‘Ugh, it’s dazzling.’

My eyes, which had adapted to the dark space, writhed in pain.

Finally, the bright sunlight poured down on the log outside.

“Oh, as expected. “I’m going out for this taste.”

Persephone spread her arms and enjoyed the outside air.

Although it was a cold, windy winter day, Persephone looked happy.

“The promise I made earlier. Are you going to protect it?”

Persephone turned around at Damdeok’s words.

She was a goddess who looked better in bright sunlight than in the gloomy underworld.

“…A promise?”

“It’s a promise to return to the underworld before Hades returns.”

Instead of answering, she smiled cheerfully.

“Don’t worry about that. “After all, I am bound to the afterlife.”

Okay, that’s it.

I don’t think I’ll be able to persuade you anyway, and I’m just a part-time worker. Going back and doing my duty would be the best option.

Just as I was about to nod and turn around,

“Why don’t you come with me?”

Persephone’s voice tickled my ears.

“yes?”

“Let’s go together. “I came back anyway just to see my mother’s face… Anyway, I was able to come out thanks to you.”

She thought deeply for a moment and said, pressing her palms together.

“Okay, I thought of a gift I wanted to give as a thank you! “I’ll be right away from here, so let’s go together!”

In the end, I followed along without realizing it.

Just as she said, her mother’s hiding place was really close by.

‘Why do all Greek gods live only in caves?’

A small stream connected to the River Styx.

There was a small cave above it.

When I entered, I saw a goddess who looked exactly like Persephone sleeping on a bed decorated with silk.

“mom!”

“…Hmm?”

“It’s me! Persephone!”

“no?! What’s happening!”

Damdeok looked at that and thought.

‘Persephone’s mother is Demeter.’

Demeter, the goddess of grain, had an elegant and simple appearance, just like the image in mythology.

“My daughter! “Is this really my daughter Persephone?”

“sure! “Then who am I?”

The mother and daughter hugged each other and pressed their faces together as if it were a separated family reunion.

As Demeter was happy, green grass and flowers began to bloom here and there in the cave.

‘Oh, that’s fascinating.’

Stories that I had always seen only in myths were unfolding before my eyes.

‘It is said that during the four months Persephone was in the underworld, Demeter became sad and the earth withered.’

That is the season winter is called in the public.

As Demeter’s face became brighter, the grass and flowers were spreading outside the cave.

‘After all, Hades is a bad guy…’

Why did he kidnap Persephone, who was living well, and force her to marry him?

‘If I hadn’t been kidnapped, wouldn’t there be winter in the world?’

I don’t know, but I thought it would be nice if that happened.

Demeter and Persephone seemed so happy when they met…

“Mom, I’m a new part-time worker here.”

“Oh really? now. “You can sit here too.”

Damdeok sat down without thinking and from then on their little party began.

We cooked delicious food, ate it, picked flowers, played, and told stories. After spending so much time, the sun was already setting.

Persephone kept her promise.

“I have to go now.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Demeter was also cool.

She escorted us to the mouth of the River Styx.

“I said earlier that I was giving you a gift, right?”

Demeter smiled at Persephone’s words and handed her a box.

Wow!

Suddenly, a box of apples, a symbol of bribery, was placed in my arms.

‘A box of apples is a gift?.’

There was no time to ask.

Demeter and Persephone were sharing a fond farewell embrace.

In the end, he climbed onto the log boat alone and carefully opened the box.

“What… is this… a golden apple?”

As soon as I opened the box, a flash of golden light obscured my vision.

It didn’t feel real, like I found a gold bar while playing house.

“what? “Have you opened it yet?”

Persephone soon approached and picked up the golden apple.

On the quietly dark riverside.

The golden apple was shining brightly like a lamp.

“I asked my mom to prepare something special for me.”

“Is this real?”

“Phew, of course it’s true. why? “Are you afraid I may have committed fraud?”

I shook my head at her words.

‘Is this really the golden apple…?’

A fruit said to maintain the power of the gods and eternal life.

‘If this is the case, my mother…’

Originally, I thought I would get it after working a part-time job that required 100,000 physical strength, but I never thought I could get it so easily… I

couldn’t help but gulp.

Persephone tapped his arm, saying there was something more precious.

“This is what is truly precious. this.”

What Persephone picked up was a pure white fruit next to the golden apple. The golden color was so strong that it actually looked very plain.

“This is my first fruit. What is it?”

“The tree of knowledge of good and evil.”

“…the tree of good and evil?”

“It is an excellent medicine that, when consumed, allows one to distinguish between good and evil.”

It was tempting.

Then, I will give up the golden apple for my mom and I will take this tree of knowledge of good and evil…

Wow!

I took a bite right away.

A bitter taste that spreads in your mouth.

Then, a rich sweetness lingered on the tip of my tongue.

In short, it was a strange taste.

Persephone was watching with satisfaction.

“how is it? “It’s easy to obtain for mid-level gods and above, but it’s a precious fruit for low-level gods, right?”

I don’t know anything like that.

But I know one thing for sure.

[The object in front of you is close to goodness!]

The fact that I have just taken an incredible elixir…

“It will be useful. Gods must always be able to see into the minds of others.”

It was time to nod to Persephone’s words.

A low voice came from somewhere. It was a voice that made the surrounding air freeze.

[The liver is also big.]

This feeling…

was clear.

A voice only spoken by gods of the main deity level.

The feeling of every word resonating throughout my body.

I slowly raised my head.

A ferry boat appeared in the distance through the hazy fog.

Sigh!

The one rowing the oars is the boatman Charon.

And next to him…

[A bold guy came in for a part-time job.]

A physique twice as big as Charon’s, with black hair and thick eyebrows.

It felt similar to Thor, but the man was closer to middle age.

[If you have a mouth, why don’t you at least make an excuse?]

The man who was right in front of me pressed his face in.

I had no choice but to freeze.

‘What…Why is Hades already…?’
