Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 782 Hera's Opportunity

If Asmodeus really decides to take action against Paradise Mountain... he will never allow the Sixth Floor to remain under the control of the Countess Hag.

The God of Order on Paradise Mountain has never been exactly aboveboard.

Good people, even guys like AO, can't get ahead there.

Asmodeus has just led his army through the gates of Paradise Mountain, and it is estimated that some hidden tricks in Hell will soon be activated.

Ha~ Even the most foolish person wouldn't think that the gods of order would do nothing after being slapped so hard by the battle angels.

The rebellion that swept through the palace of the former Lord of Hell... while it did indeed wipe out the former Lord of Hell's forces as Asmodeus had hoped, it also dealt a blow to himself.

Asmodeus only wanted to test how many Primal Demons his wife still had, but he never expected her to actually die.

The result was utterly unbelievable.

Even the will of hell seemed caught off guard.

Is it even necessary to consider that it can temporarily obscure the existence of that will?
As for Asmodeus himself falling victim to the tactic... well, it just goes to show that for angelic beings, no matter how far they fall, the influence of the birth pool is immense.

In other words, the Pool of Life on Paradise Mountain is extremely important, and the gods of order dare not use the most ruthless methods, otherwise Asmodeus would definitely be in even more trouble.

Therefore, everyone understands that this Lord of Hell will inevitably have a battle with Heaven Mountain sooner or later.

Even if it weren't for those hatreds, we had to fight for his future, which was free of any constraints.

However, no one expected it to happen so quickly and so early.

After all, his hell was rife with rebellion, and a large number of devilish dukes who were dissatisfied with his rule were secretly causing trouble.

Although the intensity of the bloody battles has decreased somewhat in recent years, they have still been ongoing.

Beset by internal and external troubles, the devil king... who would have thought he would dare to make a move at this time?

However, if he could reach an agreement with the will of the abyss and share some benefits to keep the other party silent when he takes action, then now would indeed be the most opportune time.

Especially when even the one guarding Misca was willing to make the slightest movement.

There must have been some kind of trouble at Paradise Mountain, so much so that Hyronis couldn't control his dark side and just wanted to give them more fun.

Speaking of which, this Lord of Courage who swore to guard Misca for life has never gone mad because of this vow... After all, Misca is indeed the greatest scourge of the multiverse.

If he were to escape again, the King of Battle Angels, who fought on the front lines and severely injured Misca, would not be coming out to save the multiverse once more.

He would only watch from afar.

He won't act unless Hell is affected.

The reason Asmodeus entered Hell so easily back then was not only because Hell was practically empty, but also because he had indeed avenged the demons.

In those years, the unfortunate great demons truly survived thanks to the battle angels... Otherwise, with their upper-level combat power almost completely exhausted, they would have been utterly torn apart by the demon army.

The fact that no great demon dared to criticize the marriage between the Hell Princess and the King of Battle Angels stemmed from this.

Considering that Miska was merely imprisoned, the demons, feeling a chill down their spines, though yearning for independence, absolutely did not want Asmodeus, the only leader who had fought Miska to a draw, to be gone.

The gods of order were not afraid because they believed that they still had Hyronis, a guy who was willing to fight to the death.

However, even knowing all this, they still couldn't resist usurping his power when Hyronis was far from Paradise Mountain.

Hyronis, just because of Misca's evil aura, created a negative entity... really, so upright.

It really was a matter of perfect timing, location, and people... but the difference was just a tiny bit.

While other levels may also have their own problems, those in control are the real devils.

Even if the devils are always plotting to seize power, they will never cause trouble in the way that the will of hell absolutely wants to see.

They might even risk their lives.

After all, dying in the battle at Heavenly Mountain could potentially lead to resurrection through prior preparations, at most wasting a lot of resources and experiencing a temporary decrease in strength... For those favored by the will of hell, resurrection is not difficult.

But if they are rejected by the will of hell, they are truly doomed.

That was utter annihilation, just like the previous royal families, who died completely.

The Countess of the Witch, on the other hand, took over the power from her suddenly deceased husband; she herself was not entirely a creature of hell.

Hera, a witch transformed from the power of the Lord of Hell, would be considered a demon of Hell itself.

Although they look similar, they are very different in essence.

Not to mention, Ares is there too.

Given Hera's personality, she probably wouldn't step forward herself to become the Lord of the Sixth Level of Hell.

Of course, Ares is just a figurehead at best.

Hera will never repeat the mistakes of the past.

She just doesn't like to be in the public eye.

Hell is not Mount Olympus, and Ares is not Uranus... With his intellect and willpower, he will never be able to break Hera's control over him in his lifetime.

"That's good too." Persephone, finally connecting the dots, was filled with emotion. "Although we didn't get Olympia, the power Ares gained is stronger than Mount Olympus itself!"

“Don’t make sarcastic remarks, Persephone,” Armies gave her a warning look. They both knew very well that if Asmodeus really led his demon army to attack Paradise Mountain, Hera would certainly go as well.

Although the ending that Almes arranged for Zeus may not seem good, it was indeed for his benefit in many ways.

Even under the current circumstances, this could be considered the best future... Otherwise, Zeus would have become fertilizer for Mount Paradise sooner or later.

Moreover, he remained fully conscious, watching his own miserable state.

Zeus could only gain freedom if the gods of order were to be completely destroyed one day.

But if that day ever comes, the multiverse will probably cease to exist.

That would be better than just sleeping and sleeping until you die.

Almes believed that if Zeus still had even the slightest sense of self, he would agree to his decision.

But how could Hera possibly allow Zeus to achieve such a passable outcome?
She's turned into an old hag!
Hera's kindness was evident in her decision to confine Zeus to a soul worm forever.

Persephone knew all this, yet she still made sarcastic remarks, and Armies didn't want to pay any attention to her.

The Queen of the Underworld was genuinely pleased.

How could she not hate Zeus?

The reason her mother, Demeter, didn't even have a chance to escape was because she had gotten too close to the Greeks for her sake.

Agriculture is inherently intertwined with the lives of ordinary people.

In order to make her power a threat to the entire world, Demeter went so far as to personally guide humanity in planting crops, creating opportunities for them to have a bountiful harvest.

Once Demeter's seeds spread throughout the Greek world, even Zeus dared not pressure her too much... Although he didn't care about the lives of mortals, Zeus wouldn't force Demeter to perish for such a matter.

But if doing so has no negative effects, why didn't Demeter do it before?

After becoming overly bound to beings like humans, Demeter could no longer be as free as she once was.

She only gets a break during the winter months.

This was truly incomprehensible to the notoriously lazy Greek gods.

Persephone went to the earth every spring to help her busy mother.

As the goddess of seeds, she can increase crop yields simply by appearing on the ground, even without doing anything.

But all of that is still bearable.

Persephone wouldn't deny the existence of those busy days, even though she wanted to be loved by her mother.

But Greece was bombed.

While Gaia, the goddess of the earth, was able to escape, Demeter was instead bound tightly to that world on the verge of destruction.

Although she had come to terms with her grief over the long years, Persephone would never forget the unbearable pain she felt when Hades separated her from Greece.

And the one who caused all of this was Zeus!

Therefore, Persephone never complained about Hades's impulses... her husband simply did what they both wanted to do.

"Armes...did you really see...traces on Mount Olympia?" Persephone asked vaguely.

She had never doubted that Demeter still had a chance of survival.

But Hera's unexpected appearance shocked her greatly... What if something was wrong with that thing?
"Then don't worry." Armies smiled helplessly, "Those who perished alongside Greece all left traces."

Mount Olympia is not entirely riddled with errors.

Uranus is still inside!

Persephone nodded listlessly: "I hope so."

Then she suddenly looked up, her face full of surprise, and asked, "Old hag, are you really that ugly?"

"Snapped!"

Pearl, ever the impetuous one, was brutally attacked on the back of the head.

Armies and Pearl looked at the Countess in surprise.

The Countess's fingers twitched slightly, and her expression turned somewhat embarrassed: "Aren't you going to continue the statistics with Katarina?"

Sensing her mother's barely concealed annoyance and impatience, Pearl quickly slipped away.

Even though she knew very well that Katarina was too busy to ask her to continue working right now.

That guy was squatting there smelling that starry sky mask!
I wonder what it will smell.

But I had no interest in going back with her to count the gold coins.

However, if Pearl doesn't run away soon, she might face the wrath of her overly worried and out-of-control mother.

Even knowing that Pearl suddenly pulled Persephone out to help Armies couldn't make up for the Countess's heart-stopping panic at that moment.

That kind of panic can only be wiped away by slapping a stupid child.
