"hateful!!!"
Hades stood in the center of the palace room, his eyes red and rage burning in them.
His breathing was heavy, his fists were clenched tightly, and he was propped on the desk, and his clenched teeth kept making grinding sounds.
Annoyance boiled in his heart, and his anxious eyes swept back and forth across the room.
He exhaled suddenly, waved his hands, and the thick files piled on the table were violently swept to the ground.
There was a heavy banging sound, and various documents and papers slowly fell from the air and scattered on the golden floor.
Even the three-headed glazed dog standing in the corner of the desk was swept to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Tiny cyan fragments were spread on the paper, and the clear shattering echo spread throughout the palace.
"Damn dog thief, how dare you threaten me!"
Hades roared angrily, and his voice echoed in the center of the palace.
But just after a while, the green fragments on the ground and the countless scattered paper files disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, all those things reappeared on the desk.
At this moment, a lazy yawn sounded next to Hades, and the familiar and gentle female voice came into his ears:
"So, people can threaten you."
"What can you do to him?"
Persephone sat back on a large and soft bed, her eyes narrowed slightly.
His eyelids twitched from time to time, his brows drooped slightly, and he looked a little sleepy.
After hearing his wife's words, Hades sighed heavily.
He sat back on the big crimson chair, his whole body feeling like a deflated rubber ball.
well.
As Persephone said, there was really nothing he could do about the dog thief.
That guy has a tricky natural ability. Once attacked, it turns into pure magic power and cannot be touched.
Coupled with the girl who is full of natural power, their combined power is incredible even to the gods.
Hades was also full of curiosity about the identity of the mysterious girl, and what kind of mortal could possess such a powerful natural gift.
But when he heard Persephone's guess, Hades suddenly understood.
This little girl is most likely the incarnation of nature?
That seems a bit off-putting...
But what made Hades even more angry was the dog thief!
Hades had never imagined this before.
On the territory of the underworld, someone actually dared to threaten him!
Say something to make him have a better attitude, otherwise the underworld will be blown up.
Does he have a bad attitude?
However, I have to admit that Hades could only suppress this anger and dissatisfaction deeply in his heart.
Because he knew clearly that Victor's threat was not groundless.
Victor literally has the power to burn the entire Hades to the ground.
After all, Hades is just a building after all, and its durability cannot be compared to that of a god like him.
As Lord of the Underworld, Hades can see into the filth and darkness deep within every soul.
When Hades put Erica on trial because her body contained the soul of the dog thief.
So he tried them both simultaneously.
He wanted to see what kind of sinful person Victor really was.
But the subsequent results surprised him.
Erica did not exceed his expectations. This human girl had the heart of an ordinary human and was even a little kind.
At this level, one can be regarded as a person with a clear mind during the trial.
However, when Hades puts Victor's soul on trial, he is stunned.
Because deep in the soul of this dog thief, it seems that there is a vast and deep darkness hidden, like an endless spreading black dead sea.
Black, really dark.
In his long career of ruling the underworld, he had never seen such a dark mind.
The deeper Hades went into Victor's soul, the more he discovered that this man seemed destined to suffer in hell.
Although Victor did not commit a crime that moved heaven and earth, his heart was truly dark.
The deep darkness even made Hades feel incredible.
Victor seems to act only according to his own preferences, without any constraints of order.
Such a soul is simply extremely confused.
So Hades took Victor's threat.
Not because he was afraid of Victor, but during the trial, he saw the "feats" that Victor had done during his lifetime
Blast mountains, seas, cities, and even the capital of a human country into ruins.
When he thought of this, Hades was a little worried.
His Hades family has a great business and there is no need to fight this dog thief just for the sake of anger.
After all, such a chaotic person can never be bound by rules and order.
If the other party really blew up the underworld, he, the lord of the underworld, would be fine.
But the entire underworld, including the resting souls and the souls living here.
Even souls suffering in hell will be greatly affected.
By then, the entire underworld will be in chaos because of him.
But even so, Hades still couldn't swallow this breath.
His anger was like a blazing fire, but in the current situation, he could only endure it helplessly.
Because he was helpless with Victor.
The 'fusion' between the dog thief and the human girl made it impossible for him to catch each other.
Now, he even wanted to express his gratitude to Victor for freeing his wife from the curse.
What made it even more difficult for him to accept was that he had to personally arrange residence for these enemies in Hades.
Not only was he threatened, but he also had to find a place for his enemy to stay. Just thinking about Hades made him feel extremely embarrassed.
An old face that I don’t know where to put.
"No, we have to find a way."
Hades put his hands on the table, his eyes firm, and he was quickly thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
His eyes turned inadvertently to Persephone.
Persephone, who was already a little sleepy, had already laid down and fell asleep.
From the looks of it, he didn't seem to have any sense of crisis towards the dog thief.
At the thought of this, Hades felt a surge of anger rising in his heart.
He narrowed his eyes, an idea flashing through his mind.
He knew that the dog thief had attached itself to the human girl for some unknown reason.
It is this strange combination that gives Victor the blessing of powerful natural magic, making him difficult to deal with.
Without Victor, the human girl wouldn't have much ability, and she wouldn't even have enough combat experience.
Likewise, if the dog thief wasn't attached to the girl, it wouldn't be as problematic as it is now.
"Do we have to separate the two of them?"
Hades muttered to himself, stroking his chin, deep in thought.
…
Meanwhile, in a luxurious room in the palace of Hades.
Erica was wearing a black windbreaker and lying on her back on a soft red velvet bed.
Feeling the gentleness and elasticity of the mattress, Erica's fatigue gradually dissipated.
She lay lazily while looking at the luxurious decorations around her.
This spacious room has soft red carpeting and a tall table made of jet-black wood beside the bed.
Two crimson chairs are placed symmetrically on either side of the table, their legs inlaid with shiny gold.
In the corner of the room, a vase made of obsidian stood quietly.
There are also a few bouquets of hell flowers with faint sparks stuck inside.
Opposite the table is a majestic and huge circular window.
The long silk curtains hanging from the ceiling exude an extraordinary and luxurious aura.
On one side of the wall there was even a fireplace made of black stone burning with hellfire.
It brought an unusual warmth to the whole room.
Erica looked around with relief and curiosity in her eyes.
Compared with the rooms in the human world, the rooms in Hades don't look much different.
This is a room that Persephone specially arranged for Erica in Hades.
She even told Erica that she could rest peacefully here.
Erica was very surprised by this. She had no idea that there could be such a comfortable place in the underworld.
This place is obviously a place where there are no living people, but there are still guest rooms.
Is this place for dead souls to live?
Erica looked around and thought about what Persephone said.
The Queen of Hades asked her to rest here for a day.
At first, Erica psychologically refused. After all, this place always felt eerie and terrifying.
Her only sense of security came from Professor Victor attached to her windbreaker.
But when she actually stepped into Hades, she saw a room that was completely different from the horrific scene she had imagined.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when it was so similar to a human abode.
But she still had some doubts about it.
Why should the residence of a god of the underworld be so close to the human world?
Even beds and fireplaces are provided.
Could it be that God also gets sleepy?
While Erica was deep in thought, she couldn't help but turn her gaze to Vega, who was lying quietly on the table.
The crow lowered its head and continued to doze off. A very clear and strong sleepiness surged from its body.
Looking at Vega who nodded sleepily, Erica fell silent.
Uh...well, maybe God really needs sleep.
Since she recognized the Queen of Hades, plus what Professor Victor said to her.
She began to feel that the existence of gods was not as mysterious and special as she had imagined.
After all, Persephone also told her that the existence of gods depends on human faith.
Erica was thinking about everything in her head, her eyes staring straight at the ceiling.
The deep black night sky hangs overhead, and there are even red stars among the illusory and hazy empty nebulae.
Erica looked at it, her eyes suddenly became dazed.
She suddenly realized that she was already in hell without knowing it.
I don’t know if my father is okay now?
More and more worries continued to pour into Erica's mind like a lullaby.
After a while, she unconsciously started fighting between her upper and lower eyelids.
Today, I have experienced a lot in hell.
Just when Erica was immersed in sleepiness, she called softly:
"professor……"
"Can we still go back?"
Victor in the windbreaker heard Erica's sleepy murmur, and he responded calmly:
“Keep doing what you think is right.”
"Leave the rest to me."
These words reached Erica's ears, and she closed her eyes as if she was finally relieved.
It didn't take long for her to fall asleep without even having time to take off her clothes.
Feeling that Erica had fallen asleep, Victor became quiet again.
He could understand the pressure on Erica. After all, he was not physically present and could only rely on Erica for the time being.
This was enough to cause Erica to feel extremely stressed.
After all, Victor also knew that Erica was just a seventeen-year-old girl.
Dare to enter the underworld alone, or even face the terrifying Pluto, which is already commendable.
He never asked for much from Erica.
Thinking of this, Victor also felt a little sleepy.
Possessed by Erica, his subjective consciousness will be unconsciously affected by Erica's body.
Maybe it was time for him to take a break.
Although he is only in a soul state now, the fatigue will slowly accumulate.
Just as Victor was thinking this, he suddenly realized a somewhat embarrassing question.
Wait a moment,
If you look at it this way...
He seems to be sleeping in the same bed as Erica?
