Type-Moon, there are too many myths that defy the heavens!

"...You're right, this is more efficient."

Hades smiled and said, "I can let you be the King of the Underworld, and then let Persephone and I be the Queen of the Underworld. Then we can discuss our own affairs. What do you think?"

"Oh my god, you, Hades, have finally revealed your true intentions and want monogamy, right?"

Ash couldn't hold it in any longer, "I'm going to report you to Mother Demeter!"

"No, no, no!"

Hades quickly begged for mercy, "I can't beat Demeter right now, please don't mess around!"

"What, you can't beat Mother Demeter?"

Ash keenly grasped the key words and continued, "Then I should report you!"

As we all know, Ash is narrow-minded, holds grudges and likes revenge.

When he said he was going to report Hades to Demeter, he really meant reporting Hades.

therefore.

The moment he made this decision, Ash immediately rushed into the city of Eleusis and headed straight for the temple of Demeter.

"Running so fast?"

Hades looked at Ash who was leaving quickly and couldn't help but sigh, "Looks like I'm really going to be unlucky next..."

"But... this is fine."

Hades smiled and said, "At least you won't focus on [Resurrection from the Dead]."

"If you develop an interest in [Resurrection] and awaken this aspect of your divinity, you'll have to face the watchful eyes of Dionysus Zagreus in advance."

"If we meet Him... even if Athena and I join forces... we won't be able to win."

Hades sighed deeply and continued, "After all... that was Zeus's [Madness]."

"You are no match for Him right now. If you want to defeat Him, you must complete my plan first."

The King of the Underworld activated his [Clairvoyance] and looked at the various futures of the Flower of Greece in countless world lines, searching for the route to the best ending.

"To challenge this true future God-King, one must first defeat Ares, seize his [Fatherhood], and thereby gain half of the [Rome] concept."

Hades planned, "Then, I will gain the divinity of [Reason], [Ocean], [Earth], and [Wisdom]."

"Especially [rationality], which is essential to defeating Him."

"Finally, I must seek out Aphrodite, help her bring about the birth of Aeneas, and obtain the other half of Rome."

"Once we gather all of these, we can easily defeat Him..."

Having said that, the King of the Underworld looked at the series of prerequisites he had listed, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his pretty face.

I have to turn Ash into a bad man who is loved by all the gods, but I also have to prevent him from being touched by madness and being noticed by madness, and then fulfill these conditions... Is this really a task I can complete?

"Ahahaha... this plan is so unfeasible."

Hades couldn't help but sigh, "Although Ash can now obtain [Wisdom], [Earth], and [Ocean], [Reason] belongs to Apollo...but he still hasn't mastered this divine power..."

"Or, how about just locking him up in the underworld and letting Persephone and I have children for the rest of our lives?"

Hades couldn't help but complain, "Although this restricts his freedom, at least he can continue to exist, right?"

however.

If you always make choices based on reason and don't care about other people's feelings, then why would you allow Persephone to grow and become the goddess of the underworld in this era when humans and gods are about to part?

"Hades, isn't everything you do a compensation for depriving Persephone of her original duties and turning her into the mistress of the underworld?"

……

[You do indeed have love for humans and Persephone.]

……

[This underworld is a divine realm constructed from fragments of your true body.]

"I've lived here for so many years and you haven't abused me. If I don't think about you, how can I still be considered a human being?"

……

Gazing at the back of the Greek Flower, which was overflowing with the beauty of life, the King of the Underworld could not help but recall the words he heard when they met her, and the love he had for her when he said those words, and he was motivated again.

"As expected... I still want to see you freer and more beautiful."

"To take away your life, to take away your beauty... whether it's for me, Persephone, or the other gods... it would be too cruel."

Hades couldn't help but sigh, "I really don't want to give up..."

"In that case, let's give it another try!"

Hades opened the communication and sent a message to the goddess who had never been on the track but was always concerned about his beloved: "Aphrodite... I think we should have similar plans and have encountered our own problems."

"I know why you can't see your beloved, and I also know your love for him."

Hades confirmed, "How about...we work together?"

"it is good."

Facing Hades' proposal, Aphrodite's answer was so concise and capable, "I can provide any help."

"It seems that our interests are the same."

Hades smiled and said, "Then, how about our alliance be called... [Paradise Project] Alliance?"

"I do not mind."

that's it.

The Lord of the Underworld and the Goddess of Love and Beauty quietly formed an alliance without the knowledge of the Greek Flower.

Chapter 70 Galatea, my wife!

While Hades and Aphrodite were discussing the details of the alliance, Ash had already arrived at the Temple of Demeter.

When he arrived at the entrance of the inner hall of the temple, he saw Demeter hanging golden ears of wheat on the wall of the temple. As if she had already known the news that her children had returned home, she decorated the room with a smile, adding a festive atmosphere of reunion.

Seeing Demeter like this, Ash couldn't help but have his eyes red and his nose felt sore.

Whenever she and Persephone came to earth and reunited with Demeter, she would always forget her status as a god and decorate the inner hall of the temple herself, just like an ordinary mother decorating a room during a festival.

Before he grew up, Ash would always silently look at Demeter's smiling face and feel the warmth of family from her happiness that was beyond words.

When he grew up a little and could move independently, he naturally joined in and shared some of the work with his mother.

Whenever Ash did this, Demeter's smile would become even brighter, like a wheat field in spring, with golden waves, so beautiful that he could also feel unspeakable happiness.

Therefore, Ash gave up the idea of announcing his arrival and giving his mother a surprise.

"Leave the rest of the work to me."

He walked over to Demeter as usual, took the ears of wheat from the table, and said gently, "Mother Demeter, just take some rest."

"what?"

Demeter turned her head, her emerald eyes startled, flashing with surprise and disbelief, and then her cheeks flushed lightly, with excitement and joy.

"Ash...my child..."

The gentle Earth Mother's fingers trembled slightly as she touched the child's face, softly calling the child's name and confirming, "Are you back?"

"Ah."

Ash walked forward, placed his face on his mother's palm, and whispered, "I'm back, Mother Demeter."

When she heard the word "Mom", tears flashed in Demeter's eyes, but there was a gentle and happy smile on the corners of her mouth.

"Just come back..."

Demeter gently stroked the child's face and asked with a smile, "Wandering on the sea...is it hard?"

Faced with Demeter's concern, Ash couldn't help but throw himself into her arms and whispered: "Mother Demeter, I miss you too."

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

Demeter hugged Ash and said gently, "It's just right. Persephone will be arriving soon. Then we can have a good meal as a family and live a normal life for a while."

"What, Persephone is coming to Earth?"

Ash, who was originally immersed in the joy of returning home, froze and said in surprise, "Spring is coming?"

"Ah."

Demeter smiled and replied, "It was already August when you set out. Half a year has already passed. It will be March in a week, and spring will have arrived by then."

"Time flies by so fast..."

Ash couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't noticed any temperature changes during my time at sea. I never expected we're almost through autumn and winter already."

"You have the [Ring of the God of Spring], so it's normal that you can't feel the external temperature changes."

Listening to the child's sigh, Demeter smiled gently and explained, "Not to mention, our ocean rarely snows in winter and hardly freezes, so it's naturally more difficult to distinguish the seasonal changes."

"So the [Ring of the God of Spring] has this effect. No wonder my concept of years and months has become blurred..."

After hearing what Demeter said, Ash couldn't help but look at the ring in his hand and sighed, "Persephone is so thoughtful."

"Yes."

Mentioning her beloved daughter, Demeter's expression became even gentler. "She has always loved you, so it's natural for her to think of these details."

Listening to Demeter mention Persephone, Ash couldn't help but feel emotional.

It is obvious that Persephone is Demeter's dearest daughter and the one she loves the most.

But even though Demeter loved her daughter so much, she did not show any preference for Persephone. She never ordered or persuaded Ash to accept her love and promote the further integration of family relationships. Instead, she gave him the power to choose his other half independently.

Such love that does not care about blood relationship and does not favor any party... is so unreal, yet it really exists.

Ash felt mixed emotions and didn't know how to express them.

What remains in my heart is only the indescribable feeling of being moved.

"How about it?"

At Ash's touching moment, Demeter, perhaps guessing what was on the boy's mind, asked with a smile, "After these six months, is there anyone you want to be with?"

"I... haven't thought about it yet..."

Ash spoke his heart out: "Persephone, Athena, Artemis, and Elytia are all very kind to me...but...I don't want to get married yet..."

"Of course I know that any relationship without the goal of marriage is just a hooligan...but...I'm just ready for a relationship now."

"Things like getting married and starting a family...are just too far away and unrealistic for me right now. It's something I haven't even considered."

Ash said, "Preparing me mentally for something so unreal... I can't do it."

Demeter listened to Ash's inner voice, her expression changing a lot, but she didn't show any dissatisfaction or disappointment. She just hugged his head with pity and said with a smile: "It's okay, child, this is normal."

"From dating to getting married, starting a family, raising children... this is indeed something that should be done step by step."

Demeter comforted her, "They are too impatient and want to completely establish a de facto family. It's not your fault."

"The fact that you can tell me these things shows that you have really thought about taking responsibility, rather than being irresponsible."

Demeter smiled and said, "You should be happy, because your virtue transcends this era and is not assimilated by others."

"I'm not that powerful..."

Ash shook his head and explained to Demeter, "I just know... I have to be responsible when I'm with them..."

"That's good too."

Demeter smiled and said, "If others were to receive the gods' love, they would either become arrogant and conceited, or enjoy the gods' favor and act recklessly."

"It's good that you can think about responding to their love instead of just thinking about yourself."

Perhaps to support her statement, Demeter smiled and gave an example that even Ash himself had not thought of.

"Even though Poseidon created Amphitrite, his mind was only focused on himself and he never thought about others."

Demeter smiled and said, "Zeus is the same. He only thinks about humans and rarely thinks about the feelings of Hera, me, and Europa."

"Not to mention the people of this era, even the gods of this era rarely pay attention to the feelings of women."
