Chapter 1981 Underworld Duty III
Chapter 1981 Underworld Duty III
The Forbidden Spell ‘Inverse Realm’ is a powerful spell that can only be cast when five Demons with at least Arch Demon persona chants in unison. A powerful spell that could invert the laws of time, space, and force in any realm. This can only be done in a physical realm, but Adrian can guess that Olympus is not an ordinary divine realm.
Divine realms that have a god king living in them are actually rooted in the mortal realm. They are different because god kings are powerful gods that rule other gods. They are blessed to have some autonomy on the mortal realm where they anchor their divine realm. The God of Death Hades has experienced this once as Olympus has been subjected to this spell once when the Goddess of Life Gaea was angered.
“I would tell you that I will talk to my brother, but I know that pompous brother of mine would not listen to me. How about I lend you my Helm of Darkness to steal it from him… I mean recover the missing relic?” The God of Death Hades stated.
“Really?! You would lend me your divine relic?” Adrian muttered in disbelief.
“Of course, I will not lend it to you for free. You would need to do a job for me.” The God of Death Hades stated as he suddenly coughed a little.

“This quest seems suspicious. Anyways, I will just accept it since it is only a day.” Adrian stated as he accepted the quest immediately.
[You have accepted the quest that the God of Death Hades has given you.]
[You are now the temporary ruler of the Death Realm of Hades.]
[The God of Death Hades can travel to your territory in exchange for the day.]
“Finally! Free time!” The God of Death Hades stated as he suddenly became overjoyed to suddenly have a vacation.
Adrian was a bit taken aback by the God of Death Hades’ reaction, but he did find it hilarious. He always thought that the God of Death Hades was dutiful and would never let anyone do his job for him, but it is still a job. He might be a god, but he is also father that is doing a job. Anyone doing a job deserves a break every now and then.
“Freedom!” The God of Rebirth Zagreus stated as he suddenly appeared next to the God of Death Hades.
“You are not coming, brat. Only your mother and I would be going to the mortal realm for vacation. Please make sure to do a good job, Champion Equinox. Zagreus, do your best in supporting him as you are the prince of this realm. I am now off to see your mother to frolic in the mortal realm.” The God of Death Hades stated as he vanished in shadows.
“So, I am stuck with you now. Maybe if you find me so useful, you can summon me in the mortal realm. Right?!” The God of Rebirth Zagreus stated as Adrian just sighed and looked at all the duties that he needed to do.
“Please return to your duties as I will be quite busy with the list that was given to me by your father.” Adrian stated as he immediately went to the location of the first duty.
“Alecto, please collect the prince as it seems that he has more energy to train.” Adrian stated.
“As the champion wishes. Come now, prince. I needed to do something for a minute, but you suddenly vanished from the training ground.” Alecto stated as she suddenly appeared behind the God of Rebirth Zagreus to drag him away.
“No! My father told me to aid the champion.” The God of Rebirth Zagreus protested.
“The champion will call upon you if he needs your help just like when he called upon me to collect you. Please behave or else we will do intensive training.” Alecto stated.
“No! Anything but that!” The God of Rebirth Zagreus muttered as he stopped resisting.
Adrian could only chuckle a little and look at the list that was given to him. The number of items in the list are not that much but he knows that a shorter list means more things to do. He looked at the list and could see that everything suddenly shuffled to ten items.

Ruler of Hades To Do List
Check the Realm for Stragglers. Check up on Cerberus and play with him for an hour. Do Office work and check on the data of the dead compiled. Hear the Reports of the Erinyes Check on the Entrance of Elysium Check the Meadows of Asphodel Check on the Pit to Tartarus Hear the Report of the God of Rebirth Zagreus Check on the Reincarnation Cycle Attend the courts where the Three Kings are judging souls that are difficult to sort.

“Since I just need to check the entire realm, I guess I can have some assistance for this work.” Adrian stated as he summoned all of his soulbounds.
“Please scour the realm and check the area that is given to you if there are lost souls.” Adrian stated as he gave each of his soulbound an area to check.
[Check the Realm for Stragglers – 5%]
Adrian could see that the percentage start increasing as all of his soulbounds searched. Like him, Adrian’s soulbounds are also in their nether forms since their physical form cannot handle the energy of the underworld. It is also a good thing as nether energy is a sign of authority in any of the death realms. The souls would also bow down to Adrian’s soulbounds when they see them.
“Off to the next thing to do.” Adrian muttered as he headed towards Cerberus.
Adrian checked up on Cerberus and he was chewing on a skeleton that wanted to cut in line. Cerberus spat the skeleton back out and it returned to the line crawling. It has now gained a fear of dogs due to being played by one. Adrian praised Cerberus and patted its head then proceeded to play with Cerberus for an hour.
Playing with Cerberus was incredibly rough which created craters on the ground. They did not go way as they only played near the gates as Cerberus is still on duty. All the souls that were rowdy in the line suddenly perked up and made sure to not make a fuss upon seeing how the ground easily caved. Adrian was able to have a great time with Cerberus, but Sirius felt a bit jealous as he was able to return early from scouting the area.
“Do not worry as I will play with you as well.” Adrian stated as he played with both Cerberus and Sirius.
[Check the Realm for Stragglers – 100%]
[All of your soulbounds have found some lost souls and sent them to line where souls need to wait.]
After playing with Cerberus, the other soulbounds finally returned from their scouting. They managed to find some souls that were lost but they were not that many. Adrian proceeded with the next task and arrived in a room filled with numerous paperwork. Adrian was about to turn back and play with Cerberus again, but Megaera suddenly appeared before him with a smile.
“Please proceed with the paperwork, Champion Equinox.” Megaera stated as she pulled Adrian to the chair to sit him down.
Adrian gulped and forced himself to read all of the scrolls that are before him. Fortunately for him, he was a fast reader which meant that he could approve things that are beneficial and disapprove those that are not. Adrian did not know how many hours have passed but he could not endure looking at anymore documents. He now understands why there is a term called corporate hell as he is experiencing it now and he is in the underworld as we speak.
“Since I think I need to multitask, can you please start with your report, Megaera.” Adrian stated as Megaera was standing at the door to make sure that he does not escape.
“If that is what the champion wants then I shall do so. I have nothing much to report but it seems that the dead have more grudges than ever. We have reported this to the gods of life…” Megaera continued with the report as Adrian kept stamping approved reports.
