Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 736 The Guardian in the Noisy Empty Tunnel

Armies hesitated for a second before saying, "Mom, Pearl is so sad, well, so lacking in talent, because she burned herself out almost everything to protect her husband and children."

Even the fact that Hades can sleep peacefully until now is because Pearl's divine power has protected him very well.

The only one who could possibly be found is the Lord of the Earth.

As a faithful follower of the world's will, the Lord of the Earth might at most inform the Sun God that the storms and darkness are things he may only recently learned about.

After all, a Grim Reaper who is well-ordered, sufficiently neutral, and respectful of life is truly rare.

Even someone like Seth is considered quite good.

These individuals will certainly be very satisfied with an extremely stable ruler of the underworld.

He very naturally shifted the topic away from the love story between Hades and Persephone.

Pearl's memory is still slowly recovering.

The Hades she saw was still the same Hades who, although not bad-looking, was gloomy and seemed to be doing nothing all day.

Compared to Poseidon, who still harbored a lingering affection for his mother, Hades was the first to realize that he was actually orphaned.

His mother had already given up on him when she placed Hades at the forefront to draw most of her husband's malice.

If she ever felt even a little bit of guilt towards her eldest son, then at the spoils-dividing ceremony, the moment she orchestrated a scheme to let Hades take the most useless artifact, she completely lost all feelings for Hades.

Hades, who lives in the underworld, often hears Gaia's attempts to sow discord.

He knew, of course, that the old hag had ill intentions, but Hades also understood that everything Gaia said was true.

However, Hades was even more unwilling to accept the resurrection of that disgusting father, which is why he was able to firmly reject Gaia's temptation.

He was calmer and more composed than Poseidon, and never did anything impulsive or foolish, precisely because he had no feelings for anyone.

But even though Hades understood all of this, he wasn't in a good mood.

The initial impressions of his wife Persephone were all targeted.

The two of them spent many years getting to know each other after their wedding before they finally developed genuine feelings for each other.

But Pearl doesn't feel that way yet. When Hades is mentioned in Armies, she avoids the topic and doesn't want to talk to him at all.

That's good.

Never let her feel that surging and meticulous love before she and Persephone are completely separated.

His sister, although she had given up on pursuing love after a long period of consideration, still harbored a little bit of longing for that thing.

After all, they are still young and their minds are not yet settled.

Pearl simply felt that if she couldn't have the kind of love her parents had, then there was no need for her to suffer in marriage.

Anyway, her family had no intention of sending her away.

But because of her parents, she knows that while true love is rare, it is not nonexistent.

Therefore, Armies was a little worried that she would lose her sense of boundaries because of the sudden surge of enthusiasm.

Then he would have been even less likely to have piqued Pearl's interest before that.

He didn't want his sister, who loved watching the drama unfold, to become someone else's source of amusement.

Pearl was a very sensible girl. Once she and Persephone were completely separated, and she saw the intimacy between Hades and that face that was completely different from her own, even if she had the memories of Persephone, she would not have any special feelings for Hades.

At most, I'll just continue to watch the excitement.

However, even though Armes had downplayed the severity of the situation, and the Countess had already been briefed on Set's life and the entanglements between him and the gods who had come to cause trouble in this world, her face still wrinkled up.

She looked at her daughter with heartache: "How could she be so reckless for a man?"

Hearing her brother about to call her silly, Pearl stiffly loosened her clenched fist: "Although Persephone does love Hades very much, Mom~ there are two of her sons in there!"

This is the kind of love that Pearl truly understands.

The Countess shook her head helplessly: "I really can't imagine what Pearl would be like as a mother..."

“She and I can be considered different people.” Knowing that her mother didn’t understand the appearance of gods, Pearl explained softly, “We can know each other’s memories and become one, but once we separate, we are two completely different beings.”

She naturally overlooked one point.

Between her and Persephone, Persephone was definitely the one in charge.

Therefore, only Persephone could possibly control her appearance.

In addition to the constraints of her divine duties and the underworld, no matter how hard Pearl tried, she could only progress from weak divine power to weak level at most. Any higher, and the portion of divine duties she had taken over would no longer be able to support her.

Although Persephone was kind-hearted, she did not have the inclination to raise a tiger that would become her enemy.

Of course, Pearl doesn't have any other thoughts at the moment.

The best outcome she could have achieved before was that after Armes became powerful enough, he would build a star fortress for her to live out her days in.

Fortunately, the aging process of a level 10 knight is relatively slow. No matter how old she is, as long as her bodily functions are still intact, she will not become an old woman.

Pearl had always tried to cultivate various hobbies, imagining herself in a tiny fortress, pitifully passing the time by herself... Back then, her parents would probably just think she was in the way. Now it's not much different, maybe even a bit bigger.

Although you may only see your parents once in a long while, it's not that you can't see them.

Almes... wouldn't forget his sister Persephone just because of his friendship with her.

Pearl has now convinced herself very well.

"So Hades came to fetch Pearl so that Persephone would reclaim the rest of her divine power?" Ezra asked seriously. "Until then, Pearl couldn't be separated from her, could she?"

“Yes.” Armies nodded. “The two of them must come together to build the framework of the Underworld.”

Even if Pearl becomes independent, she can only wait in the sea of ​​red spider lilies.

We can't just look at her like that... Before the world's will is fully restored, the framework is just a framework, and the Styx River can't directly bypass the world's laws to deify them first.

Only when both parties confirm the identity of Death does its authority remain truly complete.

Otherwise, it can only be called a Styx agent, with the ability to collect souls.

"Is there really no other way?" The Countess's expression was somewhat serious. "If it's really not necessary, why did you take Pearl with you to the Noisy Tunnel?"

Don't tell me where you might need her.

My son is absolutely not the kind of person who would risk his life just because his sister is useful.

For a moment, Armies was at a loss for words.

"Tell me," the Countess insisted. "Otherwise, I'll definitely cause you trouble because of my excessive concern."

I couldn't possibly not protect Pearl, even knowing she had the most basic protection.

but……"

However, she would rather fight on the battlefield herself than have Pearl speak to her again in that Persephone-like manner.

She hoped that the Persephone she saw could transform into another form, just like in the legends.

Even though... she had already understood Armies' words: all Pearl could ultimately leave behind was her soul.

Her body could only belong to Persephone.

The Countess has accepted this reality; after all, there's no one to blame but herself.

She was born Persephone.

It's just that the one has been asleep all along, so she nurtured the appearance of a soul into Pearl.

There were some things that Armes couldn't say to her, and she really didn't want to hear them.

Well, that's it... let's just get through this.

Anyway, Persephone probably doesn't really want her as his mother.

Armies naturally understood his mother's meaning, which made him unable to strategize and think that a good result was enough as he used to.

Armies felt a rare sense of unease, a feeling that was truly uncommon for him.

At the same time, it seemed that some wonderful and light bubbles were floating in his heart... a bittersweet feeling mixed together.

He seemed to sense why, when he had criticized Persephone for being hesitant and unable to make a decisive decision to stop Hades's nonsense, and why the whole family had ended up in trouble, Persephone could still show that kind of smile that was both strong and painful yet tinged with a hint of happiness.

He now feels that these inexplicable emotions make him hesitant and constrained in his actions, requiring him to consider things much more than before.

But he is willing, and... he will surrender very quickly.

“Mother…” Armies sighed softly, “The Noisy Tunnel is not only a treasure vault, but also a prison.”

Both the demons inside the prison and the guards outside are extremely terrifying beings.

However, they also have many, many opportunities.

I think you and Dad already know that the reason Pearl had to get Persephone's permission to appear in her physical form is because she is only a small part of the soul.

Without a physical body, without a vessel.

Therefore, it can only be separated after the body has been completely deified.

But in the noisy tunnel, there are many things she can entrust herself to... like the Void Resonance Crystal that Lori just asked me for, a condensation of energy.

However, this is the condensation of divinity.

"Only the condensation of that god in the noisy tunnel will be of use to Pearl?" Ezra finally spoke. "Is it you, the one who spoke of the watchman?"

“Yes.” Armies nodded honestly. “That’s one of the strongest Order Gods on Mount Paradise.”

His divinity embodies the purest positive energy and vitality.

Without this life force, the only way Pearl could leave her body was to become undead.
