Radamanthys' eyes did not lie; in them, they saw the judgmental gaze of the God of Death. However, even though Radamanthys was one of the three Judges, he was still a member of the Hades Army, an army despised by the God of Death, Thanatos. The Pure Land of Elysium, which only those approved by the gods could set foot on, was a dream-like existence in the eyes of the three Judges.
"What do you mean?" Natasha Romanoff took a few steps back from the black dagger in front of her, then slowly stabilized herself.
"The Underworld, of course, can only be entered by the deceased. You mortals want to visit Lord Hades? How can we let you pollute the Underworld with your dirty bodies?"
This man didn't seem to be lying! From the moment they entered the City of Hades until now, they had been under his control. Let alone Hades, the King of the Underworld, they had only seen three of the Specters. As for the low-level soldiers outside, whom the Specters looked down on, they were still surprisingly strong!
"A realm that only the deceased can enter?" Thor was perplexed. Doesn't my sister Hela, who is trying to seize the throne, rule the Underworld? All Asgardian warriors who die in battle go to the Underworld for reincarnation after death! This Hades was really the same as the Hades in Greek mythology, a god in the truest sense of the word, the master of death.
"You don't have to do that. The Asgardians have some connections with Lord Hades, and he has ordered that you may enter with me." Just as the Asgardian warriors were about to harm themselves, Radamanthys took the weapons from their hands.
"As for you…" As a warrior of the Underworld, he couldn't fail to see the weak resentment, evil spirits, and other negative emotions surrounding their bodies. Such people would not even survive a single moment in the Underworld, let alone a trial from Minos.
As the temperature around him gradually became colder, Tony finally made a decision. "If I die, J.A.R.V.I.S., remember to hand my will over to Pepper. She will replace me as the leader of the Stark Group." With that, Tony picked up the dagger on the ground without another word and plunged it into his chest.
Seeing Tony fall, Captain America also came forward. His eyes were filled with confusion. He was a man who should have died seventy years ago but was dug out and faced this strange new world. He was very confused. With that said, Steve also inserted the dagger into his chest.
The Underworld
It was a dark world. In this world, the air seemed to become very quiet. After Tony slowly opened his eyes, he suddenly realized that he had already left the City of Hades.
"You're awake?"
Opening his eyes, he saw the burly blond man from Asgard.
"I'm not dead?" Tony touched his body, which felt the same as before, but something was missing. "My heart has stopped beating!" He was truly dead! "No! I haven't enjoyed enough life in the world! How can I die here now?"
But just as Tony exclaimed, the rest of the people slowly woke up from their deep slumber. Behind him stood a huge gate. It seemed that after entering this place, everything in the world had nothing to do with them. This was the Gate of Hell. Once you entered hell, all hope must be abandoned.
In front of their eyes was a very muddy river. No one could fly over such a turbulent river. At this moment, a small boat slowly sailed from a distance.
"There's a boat there! Let's go have a look!"
As everyone left the Gate of Hell, what appeared in front of them was the Sanzu River, the very beginning of hell.
"Welcome to hell. I am Charon, the Specter of the Celestial Star in the Pluto Army!" A pitch-black boat appeared on the turbulent river, and a warrior wearing a black Specter Cloth stood at the bow of the boat, staring at everyone quietly.
"Is this hell?"
"We are guests of Hades. Can you take us across from here?"
Charon of the Celestial Star slowly steered the boat to the shore, and a thick Small Universe emanated from his body. The appearance of this aura made the superheroes in front of them unable to breathe.
"There are still living people?" When Charon's gaze moved away from the four Asgardians, he couldn't help but frown. "Forget it. Since you are Lord Hades' guests, let's board the ship!"
Just as everyone was about to board the boat, a pitch-black oar was placed in front of them.
"Wait!"
"What are you doing? We are guests of Hades. Didn't you say you'd let us board?"
Charon held the oar with one hand, stretched out the other, and said lightly, "This is the Sanzu River, and everyone on the ferry has to pay. After all, it's not so easy to get money here…"
Money? Where would they get money now? They were all deceased, how could they carry such a thing as money?
"Can you be more flexible? When we get back, I will send you a large sum of money! What do you think?" Facing the rich and powerful son of the Stark Group, Charon also hesitated for a while.
"No! If you don't pay, you will be like them!" As he spoke, a pair of dead, undead spirits appeared behind Charon. After seeing this scene, Natasha Romanoff's expression turned cold. "It's the group of ninjas from the Hand! I saw information in the files. That woman is Alexandra, one of the five fingers of the Hand!"
Just at that moment, a bag of golden coins was thrown over by Thor. After Charon took the bag of gold, he stepped onto the boat with satisfaction.
"Come on…"
Here, Charon of the Celestial Star led the group of superheroes onto the boat. Everything in the Underworld was slowly revealed to this group of humans. The Sanzu River, the word behind the Gate of the Underworld. This was the world created by Hades, the King of the Underworld, and it was the world where all life went after death. This world was different from other dimensional worlds; it didn't exist in any dimension, it was located outside of time and space.
From the moment they entered, what greeted them was not a paved road of garlands, but a boundless, endless, dark world. This was a place where only the dead could come. And at this moment, their Lord Hades was not in the Underworld at all!
"How boring, these mortals." A freshly baked cake sat in front of Aaron. He quickly dipped some whipped cream on it, licked it, and smiled contentedly. "This food tastes good. Let's continue to eat next time!"
