Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 779 Hera and the Old Witch

Persephone's own mother knew what Hera originally looked like... She once told Persephone that even though Athena was the one Zeus singled out to fight Ares, Hera hated Apollo and Artemis more, which meant that Hera was clearly going mad.

In terms of divine attributes, Athena actually poses a greater threat to Ares.

If she weren't a goddess, Zeus would have found a way to kill her long ago, and he had also hinted to Hera that Athena was a threat.

But Hera did nothing.

She clearly had no intention of doing such dirty work for Zeus, nor did she intend to help Zeus reverse any of his fate.

You could say she only targets the weak, but you could also say that this crazy diva has clung to her last shred of rationality.

But the steel cable that held her back from the last shred of reason was all too obvious.

Therefore, when Ares could no longer escape Greece, and Mount Olympus could no longer make her the queen of the world, Hera would only do one thing.

She channeled all the hatred she had accumulated for Zeus into a fire of hatred... that goddess was likely the first to be transformed into a creature of hell.

Persephone, or rather, Persephone, who was immediately pulled out by Persephone upon realizing something was wrong, looked at Armies with a serious expression: "Did you just feel like you were cursed, that even your mind was slowing down?"

What is Pearl up to?

Armies frowned: "Do you... know something?"

The Countess tried hard not to look at her daughter, whose demeanor had suddenly changed drastically.

But they were standing too close, and Persephone immediately sensed her discomfort, so she simply comforted her in her gentlest tone: "Pear and I have already discussed everything that's going to happen next."

Since it's all me anyway, there's no need to dwell on trivial matters.

Just give her what she wants.

After all, Pearl's understanding of the gods is still somewhat vague, and even if she asks for an exorbitant amount, she won't get anything that I would feel reluctant to part with.

Besides, most of the things I'm reluctant to part with are actually of little interest to her.

Really, there's no need to worry too much.

I was actually deep in my soul pondering some things that would follow, but Pearl felt that Armies had encountered some problems that I needed to be out to perceive, so she specially switched me out.

She didn't even tell me before she switched me out.

Because she didn't want her to feel uncomfortable, Pearl has been in control of this body.

I never expected her to do something like this suddenly.

The Countess did feel a little better.

Even if she couldn't help Pearl solve these problems, she would always worry about her daughter.

It wasn't a question of whether she wanted Pearl to always be Pearl; the Countess knew perfectly well that her wishes were useless.

Therefore, all she could hope for was that Pearl could find her way in such a complicated situation.

In retrospect, Pearl did at least perfectly in this respect.

That's good.

Seeing that the Countess had been calmed down, Persephone turned to Armies and said, "I've noticed that you've been following Zeus for too long, and you've even started to ignore the goddess's harmful power."

You really have completely forgotten Hera.

"Hera... Hera is dead!" Armes exclaimed in shock. "If she were alive, Zeus, who had a pact with her between heaven and earth, would surely know!"
Ares died too quickly and too cleanly, and then... Hera followed suit.

Zeus was certain then that Hera was completely gone.

Mount Olympia was both the protector and the binder of the Greek gods.

Even if Gaia is torn to pieces, her faint traces can still be seen in the heart of the mountain range, in the core area where Zeus sleeps.

No Greek god except Uranus could escape its mark.

The mountain range should have been under Gaia's control.

As a result, she found it troublesome and left everything to the diligent Uranus.

Uranus wasn't stupid.

If he is made to do everything, and Gaia ends up dominating him, wouldn't he become more and more miserable the harder he tries?

Therefore, in order to prevent Gaia from going back on her word and secretly taking back her power, Uranus's rules were written in great detail.

It was so detailed that any woman had no chance of rising to power, which of course also locked in his bloodline.

In Uranus's view, this was enough to guarantee his eternal rule over the Greek world... He thought that Gaia should be able to understand how different it would be for her, whose power had already been capped, to have her husband and son in power.

Which god would want to be a mother's obedient child for a lifetime?
Unfortunately, he truly didn't understand Gaia.

This is why the Greek goddesses, despite being incredibly capable and outstanding in every way, were still driven mad by their foolish brothers standing on their heads.

In any other world, not to mention anything else, Zeus... would definitely not be able to outmaneuver his two wives.

Mount Olympia was a completely separate, heavenly mountain... This is why Almes wanted to completely sever ties with Hermes.

Even if he doesn't become a resident of Paradise Mountain, Paradise Mountain will still record his existence.

Although he couldn't be found there.

Just knowing that he was still alive was already a problem. It wasn't that Hermes was arrogant.

But he was convinced that in the years to come, someone would inevitably want to dig him out and make him work.

There were more than one reason why Hermes chose to sleep with Zeus.

He's not a very good person; he'll definitely choose the path that's most advantageous for him.

Almes pondered for a long time but could not figure out how Hera managed to sever all ties with Zeus, and even erase the original mark of Olympia.

But he also knew that Persephone would not side with him.

So, he finally looked at Persephone with a puzzled expression: "Explain it clearly! I really can't figure it out."

Persephone looked at him and sighed softly: "In your heart, it seems you really believe that Hera would not choose the dirtiest path for the sake of her pride."

No wonder Hera, with her personality, could accept your presence.

If Apollo were standing here, he probably would have figured this out by now.

Armies looked bewildered.

"Have you forgotten about old witches, those hellish creatures?" Persephone asked calmly.

There is a kind of creature in Hell that is best suited for beings like Hera.

Old hag.

This thing is born from hatred.

It is a terrifying being born from the most vicious curse... It looks like an extremely ugly female human, with bruised skin, covered in warts, sores and pustules, filthy and disgusting.

A capable old hag will possess her own nightmares and may even be able to create powerful demons.

The old hag, the countess who held the highest position in Hell... the lord of the sixth level of Hell, had never been able to satisfy Asmodeus.

The Lord of Hell doesn't care if a plane is controlled by the weak, as long as the other party is obedient, can control the situation, and doesn't cause him any trouble.

But the witch countess was anything but honest.

She even tries to steal soul larvae from the River Styx to make her potions so she can turn some great demons into her ritual demons.

Asmodeus did not like this pointless and ineffective sacrifice.

After all, this woman is the kind of useless old hag who blows up crucibles.

The great demon in her hands will never become an excellent Artorios demon.

A skilled old hag could easily transform a low-level Yoggros demon into such a high-ranking devil.

It doesn't matter how many Yoggross demons die.

But the great demon cannot die so easily.

Asmodeus's patience was finite, and he had begun trying to find a stronger person within the old hag's ranks to replace her.

After all, the sixth level, due to the presence of the witch countess, has almost become a source of Hell's potions, with many demons buying them here to swindle greedy ghosts in the material world.

Asmodeus naturally hoped that the new lord would not let this friendly environment disappear.

However, there has indeed been no sign of success all along.

It is said that although the witch countess was utterly useless, she was rather unique in appearance, and her human form was stunningly beautiful... which is why she won the favor of the witch goddess Kaji Luna.

Asmodeus was not afraid of Kagi Luna at all, and had even injured her once... The witch goddess collected soul larvae from the witches of hell and then fed them to demons.

If she had eaten it herself, Asmodeus might not have been so upset.

Kagi Luna escaped with her Soul Gem, which was hidden in some mysterious place.

However, the newly formed witch lacked power, and the old-school witch was still unwilling to have a conflict with Kaji Luna over such a trivial matter.

Anyway, they can boil usable high-ranking demons themselves in a crucible... Even though the attrition rate is very high, the low-ranking Yogross demons are willing to take the risk.

Climbing up on your own in a place like hell is incredibly difficult.

Almes knew the old hag quite well.

Hades was extremely annoyed by these evil things that named their place 'Hades'.

But there was nothing he could do.

This is not something he can change... The Greek world, as the original fantasy world, has a reflection that extends almost throughout the entire universe.

Therefore, even though they only caused trouble in the Greek world, they still have karmic debts throughout the multiverse.

The concept of a witch was originally created by the Greek gods.

Persephone naturally knew a lot about this.

After all, as the Queen of the Underworld, she had witnessed the birth of the first witch.

Just as she said, Hera does indeed fit the birth principle of the old hag.

In fact, if she so desired, she could immediately transform into the superior of the witch.

No matter what, she is still a descendant of Gaia!
But, how is this possible?
That's Hera!
