[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

Although Pluto had to recuperate his body, with Meros around, nothing would happen in the underworld.

And because it was inconvenient for Melos to come forward, it was Persephone who was helping Olympus and Aquaman during this period of time.

Persephone has been doing very well, and no one has ever noticed that she is not really the queen of the underworld.

Demeter can't leave yet, even if staying in the underworld has a great impact on her, but she must take Persephone with her and continue to send her away after returning to Olympus , so that she can feel at ease.

All of Persephone's orders were told to her by Melos. Before that, Persephone stayed in the underworld for a while. Not many people have seen her, but Akarali and others have seen her. , but because of this, they know the key.

Without Melos' orders, they would naturally not talk nonsense.

Apollo's heart is not on Zeus's situation - anyway, Hera has been taking care of Zeus during this time, and Hera has always disliked their brothers and sisters. Very actively investigating Daphne's situation.

But he couldn't hear anything from Akarali, and it was more that Hermes would tell him what situation Daphne should be in at this time on a whim.

Hermes has lured many undead to the underworld. Before Zeus made trouble, he stayed in the underworld from time to time after introducing the undead. Therefore, he can probably guess Daphne's plight: "She is in the underworld after you gave her If you choose to die under the condition of eternal life, it is impossible to enter reincarnation for such a long time, and she did not do any evil things during her lifetime, so she will not enter hell, and judging from the previous situation, she does not seem to be sent to Elysee."

Apollo was stunned for a moment, only to realize after he realized that, since none of the three situations were true, there was only one left—the wandering spirit.

Becoming a wandering soul in the underworld, seemingly free and easy, is actually full of dangers.

Wandering souls can only wander around the River Styx, and there are countless dead souls dragged into the bottom of the River Styx. In the history known to Apollo, people who climbed out of the river after being pulled into the bottom of the river really Very few.

Thinking of what Daphne would become like this, Apollo couldn't stop his heartache.

He felt that he should do something. Of course, with the lessons learned from his sister, he would not be so stupid as to try to take Daphne away privately, even if Pluto's condition should be the weakest at this moment.

"I thought you were going to take risks." Hermes looked at Apollo with a half-smile, "You must know that now is a good time."

"But Persephone is hard to deal with." Apollo smiled wryly.

No one expected that the innocent girl who was raised by Demeter under the sun and among the flowers would become the indifferent and heartless girl she is now, but after Pluto entered a weak state, she handled everything here smoothly. So organized that even Apollo could feel it, the whole underworld was on guard.

It's as if Zeus secretly alerted the entire Olympus to prevent Poseidon from staying behind.

But Persephone was a woman after all, yet she was able to do this.

What surprised Apollo the most was the attitude of Pluto's confidants, who completely obeyed the attitude of Pluto.

You must know that even in Olympus, not everyone is convinced of Zeus's ability. Apollo once heard several people joke that if Poseidon launched a war, then they should help Poseidon.

Of course, compared to the gods of Olympus, the number of Pluto's confidantes is pitifully small.

"Yes." Hermes raised his eyebrows and looked into the distance—even though in this world, the distance is still gray—"She is not easy to deal with."

"And I don't talk to her very often." Apollo shrugged. He didn't have much prejudice against Persephone, but Persephone was too well protected by Demeter since she was a child. Either with his mother or with flowers, and Poseidon likes bows and harps, so naturally he doesn't have much communication with Persephone.

So he couldn't ask Persephone to help him do something like his sister did.

Hermes didn't speak, his expression didn't look like a mockery, but rather helplessness.

Apollo didn't think much about it, because of Daphne's matter, he fell silent again not long after.

Hermes looked at Apollo who fell silent, but did not disturb him, but left the palace where they were temporarily staying.

He is very familiar with the underworld, so naturally he doesn't worry about getting lost.

Walking along the River Styx, he watched Karon swim in the river with his oars on his own. Countless souls of the dead were crying at the bottom of the River Styx. Hermes was used to this.

After leaving the Styx River, there is a forest. Melos knows that there is a lake in this forest. He has never entered it. It is said that it was withered before, and it was revived after Styx came here. As for the lake in this forest, He didn't hear too many rumors.

Hermes looked at the undergrowth, thought about it, and finally decided to go back.

But it was also at this time that many black vines suddenly sprang out from the edge of the River Styx. They "walked" forward over Hermes, but they seemed to be bumped into something and were blocked all of a sudden, but they He didn't stop there, but climbed on a tree and plunged into the ground along the trunk.

As if looking for something, the vines scrambled and twisted wildly.

Finally, they pulled out a tender green vine.

The vines fell to the ground and turned into a distraught Persephone.

She was panting sharply, her face was full of fear, and the vines surrounded her, seeming to urge her to leave quickly.

And at this moment, a teenager ran towards her.

"Meros." She grabbed the boy's hand, tears fell before she could speak, "Zeus...Zeus..."

Ever since Persephone came to the underworld and rumors spread that she had become indifferent, no one felt that she was vulnerable. Looking at the tearful Persephone at this moment, Hermes felt that He seemed to see the girl who was laughing heartily among the flowers a long time ago.The boy lifted Persephone, hugged her into his arms, and patted her on the back lightly, as if comforting her. Hermes couldn't see the boy's face, but only looked at it from the side. In the past, I felt vaguely similar to Persephone.

Following the boy came Akarali and Shakanochman. Hermes frowned slightly, carefully hiding himself.

"Your Highness." Akarali said, "Are you alright?"

Persephone shook her head.

"Who is following His Highness today." The boy looked at Shakano Qiman and asked in a questioning voice.

To be able to use such a tone to the people of Pluto, this young man may have a lot of background.

"Zeus tampered with them." Persephone took the boy's hand, "They told me that the Queen of the Sea invited me... I remember what you said, so...but I didn't expect it to be Zeus..."

A frightening killing intent flashed in the boy's eyes, and Akarali and Shakanochman even knelt down because of this.

"Your Highness..." Akarali and Shakanochman seemed to want to say something, but before she could speak, the boy stopped her.

"I know." The young man let go of the hand he had been holding tightly. Hermes couldn't see what was on his hand, but the vines around him immediately entangled him, "I won't do anything to him, sister, Hermes frowned when he heard the boy's address, "Have you trapped Zeus?"

"Use a little thing my mother gave me." Persephone nodded, "but it won't last long."

"It's enough." The young man snorted coldly, "He has never given up on his sister, this is not the first time."

"You mean he's been here before?"

"Sister, don't worry, I'm fine." The young man put his hand on his wrist, and then seemed to have made up his mind, and turned his right hand to the side. In the extreme shock of Hermes, the scepter of the queen of the underworld appeared in his hand like this .

"Since he wants it, let him take it, sister, please give me some of your hair." Melos said to Persephone.

Persephone did not doubt him, so she cut off a lock of her hair and gave it to Meros.

Melos flicked the scepter lightly, the black vine wrapped around Persephone, and then let go, and after rolling aside, Melos scattered Persephone's hair into the vine, and the vine immediately turned into a The appearance of Persephone, Melos scooped some river water from the Styx and sprinkled it on the fake Persephone, only to see that the skin of "Persephone" became more delicate and beautiful. After that, Meros finally read something to it, and it opened its eyes, and it looked exactly like Persephone.

"Let's go." Melos helped Persephone up, and said to the two people who followed him, "I'll talk about the rest when I go back."

As soon as they left, "Persephone" lay on the ground as if in a coma. Hermes stood there, his feet seemed to have taken root, and he stood there without leaving.

After a while, Zeus appeared in Hermes' sight. He looked at the "comatose Persephone" with a smug smile on his face.

He picked up the unconscious man and disappeared after a while.

A boy similar to Persephone, the older sister he said, and... that scepter...

Hermes felt that his mind was in a mess, but everything he had seen before reappeared in his mind repeatedly, and finally an answer shocked him.

He took a deep breath, took one last look at the edge of the River Styx where there was no one there, and finally lifted his feet and left slowly.
