S.H.I.E.L.D. had informed the City of Hades about their visit a long time ago. At this point, they only believed that the City of Hades was just like the Avengers—an organization gathered by a group of superheroes—and that the so-called "Hades" was simply the strongest person in that organization.
Now, the Avengers, led by Tony Stark and Captain America Steve Rogers, arrived on this ancient island with a S.H.I.E.L.D. escort.
"I've been here before. Those ancient stone statues have great artistic value!" Tony said, trying to relax the mood and calm the people behind him.
However, the scene before them truly surprised them. The City of Hades was within sight, but it was shrouded in a dense, dark forest. The people on the island all believed in an ancient god named Hades.
Swoosh!
Just as they first set foot on the ancient island, a dark figure flashed across the sky. This person looked familiar! Both Tony and Banner, who had not yet transformed into the Hulk, were shocked by the sudden black shadow in front of them.
"Quick! Get out of the way!" Captain America instantly spotted where the meteor was headed and frantically told everyone to move.
At that moment, Sylphid of the Basilisk, wearing his black battle suit, fell from the sky, landing on the ground without a single cloud of dust.
"This…!"
Even Tony, when landing his armor, had to use a lot of jet flames to stabilize his body.
"You, are you the mortals who have come to see Lord Hades?"
The moment the name Hades was mentioned, the local residents of the island knelt on one knee and bowed in the direction of Hades City.
"What are they doing?" Natasha Romanoff asked, puzzled.
"The residents of this small island were being slaughtered by some wolf-hearted people and were about to be wiped out. Later, Lord Hades came, and they were able to eat and drink their fill," Sylphid explained.
Hearing this, they fell silent. Such massacres were not uncommon in their own country.
"Lord Hades is currently in the Underworld. To go there, you need to enter through the City of Hades," Sylphid said lightly, as if this was nothing.
"The Underworld?"
Hearing this, all the Avengers were stunned. The Underworld? What kind of organization was this? Could it be something similar to Hell's Kitchen? This small island didn't look big enough to contain an underworld.
"Then let's go!" Natasha Romanoff urged from behind, but Sylphid stood motionless.
"There is one more person. He's coming."
In the sky, a powerful beam of light descended onto a distant spot—it was Bifrost! As the beam of light faded, Thor and the three Asgardian warriors behind him set foot on this peaceful land at the same time.
"Is this the City of Hades?"
Thor stepped out of Bifrost's beam, exuding a powerful aura of thunder. Barton's pupils shrank slightly, and his face was filled with disbelief. This person who had suddenly appeared seemed very strong!
This time, like Natasha Romanoff, he was participating in the Avengers' visit plan as a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., with the goal of discovering the origin of the City of Hades. But what he was seeing was beyond anything he expected! A Specter who landed on the ground without stirring up any dust, and now this seemingly burly but somewhat familiar person.
"The people from Asgard are coming too?" Sylphid's voice slowly came over.
Thor looked up into the distance and saw several human heroes who had fought in the Battle of New York. And a warrior wearing a black Dark Cloth.
"Are you with Minos?"
Thor and Minos had fought once, and the two had almost become friends. But this time, Thor's mission was clear: redeem Loki and learn about Hades for Asgard. What did this god, who had left a deep impression on his childhood memories and had sealed his father for thousands of years, truly look like?
"Since we're all here, let's go!"
As he spoke, a powerful coercion descended directly. Sylphid's Small Universe erupted, and a whirlwind wrapped everyone in it, instantly transporting them to the base of the City of Hades.
This ancient castle was built by Aaron based on Heinstein Castle, a memory of his previous life. It was surrounded by a large, quiet, dark forest. Originally, Hades himself had placed an enchantment in the forest that would turn anyone who entered into a ghost of the Underworld. However, after the last battle, Aaron had once again abolished this enchantment. Now, the City of Hades was inaccessible to outsiders, but people who believed in Hades could walk through the rest of the forest.
"This place gives me an ominous premonition. Could we have been too hasty in coming here?" The usually calm Banner looked at the surrounding environment. The peaceful atmosphere made him very uneasy.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., scan the surrounding data," Tony said. He felt the same way but couldn't figure out where this faint sense of crisis was coming from.
"Static... static…"
J.A.R.V.I.S. couldn't even scan the area. Not to mention satellites, it was as if they were blind here.
At that moment, they finally reached the bottom of the castle.
Clang clang!
Two Yin soldiers in dark clothes guarded the gate of Hades City, and two massive bone inscriptions blocked everyone from entering.
"The City of Hades is a forbidden place. Anyone… ah! It's Master Sylphid!"
Sylphid came out from behind the group, and these low-level Yin soldiers quickly got out of the way after seeing him.
"Go away, low-level scum!"
Sylphid took a disrespectful step up the stairs of Hades City, leading everyone inside.
"…"
Barton, a human, was up for the task. The two warriors guarding the gate just now didn't even dare to breathe in front of Sylphid! And these two low-level Yin soldiers were at least at the level of a fighter, surpassing the average human level!
Just at this moment, a cold voice came from inside the City of Hades.
"Everyone, welcome to the City of Hades. I am Radamanthys, the Wyvern, and I am waiting for you in this city!"
