[Greek Mythology] The Love of Persephone

"Your Majesty!" Persephone exclaimed in shock.She subconsciously staggered back a few steps, and Pluto's berserk attack had suddenly come——

The violent wind made her close her eyes involuntarily, but Persephone clearly saw the golden cloak flashing for a second, and then she fell into a warm and familiar embrace, and the god holding her hurriedly avoided, The sharp attack narrowly cut off a strand of her blond hair.

"Hermes!" she cried, mingled with panic, joy and uneasiness, "what's going on!"

The effect of the golden arrow should be lifted, otherwise Pluto wouldn't be so indifferent to her!But why did the Lord of the Underworld suddenly attack?Do you feel it hurt your face?No, his dark green eyes are like a bottomless abyss, filled with fragments of fire and ice, as if he is in the frantic pull of two extreme emotions——

"Don't be afraid!" Hermes's coiled snake scepter burst into golden light for a moment, and he flew up with his beloved goddess in his arms, "It's just that the effects of the lead arrow and the golden arrow are conflicting! When the conflict is over, Pluto's sanity Will be back!"

He was anxious and wanted to comfort his lover: "Don't worry! As long as we get through this time! Persephone, let me take you out of here!"

"Don't even think about it!" Pluto said angrily, and the anger in his pale eyes prevailed for a moment. At this time, he had recovered from the sudden appearance of Hermes and was deeply irritated. , Never allow the god of liars to stand between the two again, "Give her to me!"

The eyes of the Lord of the Underworld looking at the Goddess of Spring are undergoing drastic changes. He is fanatical and obsessed at one moment, and hates and loathes at the other. Such rich emotions are extremely rare in Hades in the past, so this scene is even more vivid. appalling.The underworld gods who were watching the ceremony here and who were very familiar with Pluto's past style were even more stunned.

"Don't you know that Pluto married Persephone just because he was bewitched by the power of the golden arrow?" Hermes held Persephone in his arms and tried his best to dodge the attack under Pluto's fury. He spoke loudly to the God of Hades present, "Now the power of the golden arrow has been lifted! The King of Hades will wake up in a short time! Do you want to watch him kill the Goddess of Spring!"

"The god of liars with smooth words." Hades snorted coldly, his harsh eyes stopped those gods of Hades who hesitated because of Hermes' words, "Get out of the way, don't move."

The gods of the underworld are like amnesty when they receive this statement.

In fact, Hermes did not do nothing when he was lurking in the underworld.He pretended to be a mortal soul who had just died and was still insane, talking about Eros' pranks, and quietly spreading the story to the whole underworld.Most of the Hades knew that Hades didn't really want to marry the Goddess of Spring, but was only bewitched by the golden arrow.

However, life in the underworld is so lonely and desolate. The king of Hades has been alone for tens of thousands of years, and the goddess of spring represents hope and vitality. Many gods of the underworld still hope that this will come true.Even if Pluto slowly wakes up later, it is a done deal.At this time, the golden arrow has been released, and they know that the awakened Pluto will never continue such a marriage, although they are helpless, there is nothing they can do.But Pluto has accumulated too much prestige for tens of thousands of years. Although they did not want to see the goddess of spring fall in vain, they did not dare to step forward to stop it. It is just right that they are ordered to retreat now.

As for Hermes, he knew that he had no power to fight back against Pluto, but he wanted to rely on his understanding of the terrain these days to make a move.The existence of those ghosts only prevented him from fleeing with Persephone, and he was very grateful that those few words just now had this effect.

But Pluto showed no sign of waking up at this moment!His attacks are getting more and more merciless!

"Hermes!" Persephone screamed, she clearly saw that her lover's arm had been drawn by a sharp black light, "Are you okay!" The goddess of spring hurriedly activated the divine power in her body, and a green vine bound the two It was set up like this, and after narrowly evading another wave of attacks from Hades, it dissipated completely.

Persephone had been eroded by death energy in the underworld, and she was not such a powerful goddess before, so it was extremely difficult to summon this vine.

"I'm fine!" Hermes gritted his teeth and replied, he turned around to block in front of his lover, and endured the next wave of attacks, "I want a place! I'll take you there now!"

"What place?" Persephone asked loudly, "I also thought of a place! Did you know that there is a poplar tree in the underworld—"

The moment she yelled "Poplar Tree" loudly, time seemed to be forbidden for a moment.Pluto's hands trembled slightly, but the two of them obviously didn't want to pay attention at the moment.

"It's really there!" Hermes said happily, he took the opportunity to hug Persephone's waist and flew across, "We'll go there right away!" Perhaps, this is the only way now!

"Okay!" Persephone replied, fine petals flew out from the hands of the Goddess of Spring, and the petals flew out from the left hand and landed on the injured arm of her lover, slowly nourishing him. What flew out turned into a mist, blocking Hades' sight.

"Don't go!" Pluto, who was behind them, said angrily, and he was obviously even more angry when he recovered, and he was about to catch up!

"Hades!" At this moment, among the audience, a blond and haggard goddess suddenly stood up and raised the golden staff in her hand, "Stop, Hades!"

She is the mother of the goddess of spring, Demeter, the goddess of fertility!

Demeter was anxiously watching her daughter marrying her brother from a distance, but suddenly the situation turned and Hermes appeared to rob her!Gold arrows, lead arrows, this set of sayings has been circulating in the underworld recently, and Demeter also knows it.If the daughter has just been pierced by a lead arrow, poor Persephone will be saved if she only endures this time!

Even though she reluctantly agreed to this ridiculous marriage before, Demeter still loves her daughter deeply!If it wasn't for worrying that the other party would suffer a more tragic curse after she violated her fate, how could Demeter have the heart to let her marry into the bottomless darkness? !Now, since we have seen a glimmer of hope, no matter how weak a mother is, she will stand up and fight for her daughter!

"Stop, Hades!" The golden staff of the goddess of fertility spat out a long golden light, and that light hit the mist formed by Persephone's broken flowers, and immediately turned them into Hard and cold chunks of gold!

The precious treasure that can drive countless mortals crazy, but here it is only a weapon in the hands of the goddess.She wants to block Hades' path with countless sums of money, and buy time for her daughter and lover to escape!

Demeter's golden stick in her right hand was raised high, while the ear of wheat she was holding in her left hand was thrown out immediately, blocking Hades.One of those ears of wheat became two, two became four, four became eight... growing endlessly.And just before Hades was about to use the power of Hades to turn those unsightly ears of wheat into dead objects, making them lose their vitality immediately, the golden rod in Demeter's hand had already turned the golden light of life into cold and immortal coins. !

Countless heavy wheat ear-shaped gold nuggets fell from the sky, smashing the lifeless black soil of the underworld with a dull sound.The Goddess of Plenty stood proudly, and she stood in front of her brother desperately, directing the gold nuggets to block the road, buying precious time for her daughter.

"Demeter——" Hades sulked on his face, "You stopped me again and again!"

He raised his scepter to his most resigned sister, but the blonde goddess showed no fear.

"I have to stop you today!" Demeter said.

Hades' expression was gloomy and uncertain. He suddenly knocked away the golden staff of the goddess of abundance, but he didn't continue to embarrass her.Instead, he raised the Pluto scepter in his hand again, and mobilized the endless power of the underworld——

He is the king of the world, and everything in this world obeys his orders, and he retreats.

"Open." Pluto said simply.

Suddenly, the ground cracked deeply, and all the huge gold nuggets fell down, and the dull sound lasted for a long time like thunder.Pluto stared indifferently as the gold nuggets disappeared in front of him, and the ground came together again, without any trace of cracking.

He strode over and called four black horses to the carriage.

"Catch up." Hades ordered briefly.

The black horse started to pull the cart and run again, the wheels made a dull sound like thunder rolling on the ground, the horse's hooves gradually left the ground, but stomped out of thin air, flying faster and faster.But even though the wheels left the ground together, the sound never stopped.

It was only at this moment that Demeter seemed to have lost all her strength, and fell to her knees and wept bitterly.A god of the underworld sent her some golden sticks, and she tried to get up and catch up to help, but was stopped by more gods of the underworld.Demeter had no choice but to kneel where she was, and continued to pray for her daughter and lover.

"Father! Gods!" she murmured, "I beseech you, please bless this suffering couple with safety!"
