As for saying that the corpse was Death God Thanatos, that’s even more impossible. Zeus, even if he were capriciously inclined, would never do such an absurd thing.

As for the idea that Sisyphus forced Death God Thanatos to tie up the other party, could that be possible? With Sisyphus’s feeble build, a heavy punch would be enough to confuse him, let alone forcing the Death God to play such games.

But he also didn’t think Sisyphus would set him up — now he was quite formidable, and he definitely made sure Sisyphus learned what a heavy punch really was.

Just as he relayed the news, Sisyphus hurried over.

This clearly looked like a situation where someone knew a silencing was in order, so why rush into it?

If this weren’t serious, he could, as well, recite his name backward.

Then, Zeus arranged for Death God Thanatos to take him away to the Place of Suffering for a good one hundred and eighty years.

Once the Death God ceased ushering the deceased, chaos would reign in the mortal world.

Speaking of thunder, one simply can’t forget the king of all gods, for he alone wielded the thunderbolt.

Had it not been for the Death God’s disappearance, he wouldn’t have had the chance to chat with the other Netherworld Gods.

Now it seemed, Zeus was truly determined to make a move.

Sisyphus explained at length, about how he reported Zeus’s abduction of River God Asopus’s daughter to Asopus, and how Zeus came to know of it.

Hearing this, Sisyphus’s face changed, “River God Asopus is dead? How dare Zeus lay his hands, no wonder Asopus’s river stopped flowing recently!”

Thanatos, seeing Qin Muye, was quite excited and wriggled his body, signaling to hurry and untie him.

He always felt something was off.

He was brought back by Sleep God Hypnos, under normal circumstances, it should have been Thanatos, but since the Death God was missing, only the Sleep God could help.

Why cause trouble and get involved when it’s none of his concern?

He saw Death God Thanatos chained on the ground, those chains being Thanatos’s own that were normally used to bind the departed, now bound around himself.

So this made him realize one thing, never marry into the Titan Divine Race.

Thus… Qin Muye decided to ignore the charred corpse.

Although the analogy was a bit strange, the other’s expression was indeed so.

Death God glanced at Sisyphus and nodded slowly, then dissipated.

The Death God soon recovered, he wasn’t the handsome youth as he was in the Netherworld, but a robe-covered skeleton figure.

To put it mildly, it was from Persephone’s room.

Following his memory, he soon arrived in Corinth, still bustling.

Even Zeus couldn’t break free, for it signified death.

His expression was a bit odd, as if he feared Queen Moluo Po discovering he cheated on her with his own father-in-law after an affair.

Then he leveraged Qin Muye’s identity and related it to Thanatos, deceiving him right off the bat to chainslay Thanatos, then locked him in the secret room for the time being.

Qin Muye had some reputation in the Netherworld, having relationships in various quarters.

Qin Muye mentally retorted, they were hard not to be associated together.

Qin Muye suddenly discovered a corpse, which was not a mortal but a Titan’s.

Qin Muye thought for a moment and then decisively freed Death God Thanatos. The chain on him was no ordinary chain but a symbol of authority, hence why even he could bind himself with it.

Qin Muye was truly shocked, he thought Death God had been taken away by Zeus, only to find him locked in the basement by Sisyphus.

Qin Muye looked at Death God Thanatos and then at Sisyphus.

Qin Muye felt this was a major event, he couldn’t meddle, but it didn’t mean he couldn’t benefit from the situation.

Qin Muye checked the surroundings, which, centered on this corpse, had turned into a mess.

That scene had opened Qin Muye’s eyes to new horizons, reshaping his world view, unforgettable to this day.

He didn’t ask around on the road but went straight to the palace.

Upon arriving in the Mortal World, Qin Muye complained, “I didn’t feel much when I was here before, but returning from the Netherworld, I suddenly found the flowers beautiful, the trees beautiful—even the people… Oh, but not as much. The Nymphs and the Netherworld Gods there were like art pieces; mortals really can’t compare.”

“With this tightness, it couldn’t be bolted shut, could it?”

Looking back, he didn’t know whose tomb it was, but Qin Muye had emerged from inside it.

In other words, Qin Muye thought this was done by Zeus, but why Zeus had killed the person, Qin Muye didn’t know. Perhaps Death God Thanatos knew… probably.

Following Sisyphus into a secret chamber, he quickly understood why Sisyphus was so secretive.

And he felt that Zeus might not be able to kill the Death God, whose background and strength were extraordinary.

The Death God also realized that Zeus was involved here; he didn’t want to offend the King of Gods and thought it best to leave first, letting this child of the Nether make his way through this muddy water.

Of course, there were a few very special cases, otherwise even Zeus wouldn’t dare to cause trouble indiscriminately, though Zeus might not discriminate when it comes to appetite, he still chose based on appearance.

Asking around was not very useful; better to just go ask directly.

Apart from Zeus, Sisyphus couldn’t think of anyone else who would lay a hand on River God Asopus.

The piece of rock not far away was familiar to him; it was there that Zeus, transformed into a mighty eagle, had his way with the daughter of River God Asopus under broad daylight, which Qin Muye and Sisyphus had once watched.

“How come there’s a charred corpse here, seems a bit familiar?”

“This wave will at least make Zeus lose a blood fortune.”

“This seems to be near the Corinth Kingdom, might as well go see what Aladdin is up to.” Qin Muye discerned the direction and quickly figured out where they were.

“Find Moluo Po, have her find a way to contact Sea Goddess Thetis and Ocean God Oceanus, tell them Zeus took Afeiya and killed Asopus; getting the Gaia Mother Goddess involved would be best, the bigger the trouble, the safer you’ll be.”

“What’s going on?” Qin Muye asked the secretive Sisyphus.

“Hypnos told me you had disappeared; I thought you had been captured by Zeus, turns out you had tied yourself up. How did you manage that?” Qin Muye exclaimed, shocked.

“Sisyphus, this is an opportunity, Zeus is in the wrong and hasn’t dragged you into the Netherworld yet, so there’s still a chance to turn things around.”

“Damn!!!”

“After notifying them, come to the Netherworld with me, don’t be unhappy. This time you’ve offended Death God Thanatos, and if Zeus really gets furiously embarrassed, you might die even more miserably, so pass the ruling to Aladdin and then come take refuge with me in the Netherworld.”

“Lord Thanatos, let me take Sisyphus to the Netherworld, the Mortal World has been in chaos these days you’ve been missing, and you need to handle it quickly, there’s no delay,” Qin Muye thought for a moment and said.

“So, this Titan corpse, is it River God Asopus?” Qin Muye connected the dots, remembering the Titan body struck by lightning.

“Who did this, acting so boldly?”

“The air in the Mortal World is comforting; the Netherworld really isn’t a place for people, life should be compared.”

“You’re playing around this much, does Queen Moluo Po know?” Before this, Qin Muye thought he had seen big events, but now he realized he hadn’t really seen anything.

“That’s good, come here, I have something to show you,” Sisyphus said upon hearing Qin Muye’s words.

“And Afeiya? Do you know where she is?” Qin Muye asked in return, referring to River God Asopus’s daughter.

“Cough, I don’t know about your relationship with Death God Thanatos,” Sisyphus asked.

“It’s okay, what’s up? He’s always busy working, we don’t chat much,” Qin Muye answered truthfully, and that was indeed the case.

“Dionysus, it’s not what you think, it’s like this…”

“It doesn’t look like it was burned, rather more like it was struck by lightning.”

“I’m not sure, Asopus went after it alone, I didn’t follow; I was dealing with that never-drying fountain at the time,” Sisyphus said.

“It wasn’t the Death God himself who did the tying, it was me,” Sisyphus said somewhat awkwardly.

“???” Qin Muye was bewildered: “What strange thing are you planning to share with me?”

‘It couldn’t be that Zeus was seen forcing himself on the Death God and got silenced for it, could it? Surely it’s not that coincidental.’
