Chapter 246 Sister Ya is still your Sister Ya (4.1k)
At this time, Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, who suddenly appeared in the forest, glanced at the mess on the ground, glanced at the two culprits in front of her, and spoke angrily.
“My garden has been turned into this state by you, can I not come back?”
Being caught red-handed, Lorne couldn't help but smile. Just as he was about to defend himself a few words as usual, the noise of armor scraping came from outside the garden.
Obviously, since the [Labyrinth Barrier] was destroyed by the Talisman that breaks all laws, the commotion he and Melinoe made would inevitably attract some attention.
"What are you doing standing there? Why don't you bring her in!"
As Persephone in front frowned and waved, Lorne woke up as if from a dream, quickly picked up Melinoe on the ground, and slipped into the elegant building pointed by the Queen of the Underworld.
The faint fragrance of flowers comes through the exquisite beaded curtains. The warm tones in the house that are incompatible with the underworld, and the newly changed velvet bedding all prove that this seems to be a palace of Her Majesty the Queen of the Underworld.
Lorne carefully opened the empty closet on the side, carried the unconscious Melinoe and got in, restrained his breath, and hid quietly.
Soon, accompanied by the cold scolding of the Queen of Hades, the guards of Hades who came to the garden to investigate the situation retreated in disgrace.
About a quarter of an hour later, light steps entered the bedroom, and a faint voice came.
“Come out, they have left.”
Hearing the permission, Lorne pushed open the closed closet door, quietly got out of it, and scratched his head with a smile.
“Sorry, I've caused you trouble again.”
“Don't be so polite, just sit down and talk.”
Persephone responded nonchalantly, then put down the solid wooden tray in her hand and motioned for a guest on the ground to sit down and have a taste.
However, Lorne couldn't help but murmured as he looked at several plates of exquisite snacks and a pot of fragrant fruit juice on the tray.
It seems that you can't eat food from the underworld indiscriminately, right?
Persephone seemed to have read someone's concerns. She rolled her eyes at Lorne and hummed lightly.
“Don't worry, I brewed these in my own garden and they won't have any adverse effects on you.”
Immediately, the Queen of Hades paused, and her voice turned low.
“Besides, I've already suffered a loss because of this, how can I let you make the same mistake again?”
Hearing the sadness in Persephone's tone, Lorne couldn't bear it. He quickly sat down at the table, put aside his worries, grabbed snacks and fruit juice, ate and drank, and did not forget to praise this The craftsmanship of an underworld queen.
“This osmanthus cake is sweet and glutinous, and tastes really good; the fruit juice is sour and delicious, and has a faint floral fragrance. Did you add wild honey?”
"Um."
The ice on Queen Ming's face melted away, she nodded with a smile, looked at the opposite side with soft eyes, and whispered instructions.
“Eat slowly, no one will compete with you.”
“I haven't tasted such delicious snacks for a long time. I couldn't help but make you laugh.”
After finishing a pot of fruit juice and most of the plate of snacks, Lorne wiped his mouth and showed a brisk smile like a child returning home.
The warmth exuded in the gestures and gestures of the other person made the Queen of Hell even more satisfied. She stood up and cleared the dishes on the table while scolding her with a hint of annoyance.
“Now that you have escaped from Hades, what are you doing here?”
“Of course I don't worry about you…”
Lorne blurted out the worries buried in his heart, and then a shy smile appeared on his face.
“And I will come back to see you, I promised.”
Persephone smiled when she heard this, and there was warmth in her eyes.
“You are a man of faith, unlike Sisyphus who is smooth-tongued.”
"What's up with him?"
"Not long ago, Charon cried to me. He took the risk to send you out of Hades. As a result, after Sisyphus was captured, he actually defaulted on his debt. He also said that he wanted money or his life, as long as he could fight for it. Thanatos, Charon does whatever he wants."
“This really looks like that guy's style…”
Lorne had no choice but to smile bitterly, and secretly observed three seconds of silence for Brother Jia Qian, who had failed to fetch water from the bamboo basket.
Sisyphus is a real knives guy who has played with many gods, including Charon.
Furthermore, he estimated that he would most likely not be able to escape if he was caught this time, so he naturally refused to bleed heavily for it.
As for the oath made to the Skettis River, he was not afraid of divine punishment.
If Charon was really capable of withstanding the divine punishment of God King Zeus, Hades and Death God Thanatos, and fished out Sisyphus to collect debts, he wouldn't have to be just a person picking leftovers from the mouths of the dead. The River Styx crosses the gods.
And if you are lucky enough to get out of trouble one day, Sisyphus will definitely change his mind when he uses Charon to add money.
After telling an interesting story, Lorne and the Queen of Hades looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
When she accidentally saw a trace of osmanthus cake crumbs left on Lorn's mouth, Persephone subconsciously got up and took out a handkerchief and stepped forward to wipe away the food residue for him.
As her fingertips touched the skin temperature and facial contours of the young male god, the suppressed emotions in the queen's heart could no longer be controlled. She held up the specious cheek with both hands, and a tear appeared in her eyes. Light, whispered.
“My little Zagreus…”
Being so watched and touched by a mother who had lost her son, Lorne suddenly squirmed uneasily. In the end, he couldn't resist the moral condemnation in his heart, so he smiled bitterly.
“Sorry, it seems you have the wrong person.”
Hearing this, Persephone was not angry, but raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and sighed quietly.
“Of course I know you are not him. After all, as a mother, how could you easily mistake your child?”
Immediately, the Queen of Hades paused, and a deep sadness appeared on her face.
"Furthermore, according to the nature of His Majesty the God-King, how could he leave any hidden dangers if he takes action? The Boros and my little Zagreus are all gone. What I inherited is just the [possibility] planted by Hecate, I know this better than anyone else.”
Hearing this, Lorne couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and spoke seriously.
“Can you tell me more about what you are talking about?”
“That woman didn't tell you anything? Sure enough…”
Persephone sneered and shook her head, looked at Lorne in front of her with a little pity, and asked in a deep voice.
"Did you know that after the Battle of the Titans, the [destiny] of the [world] weaved for the gods once had a disagreement?" Lorne's eyes flickered and he spoke tentatively.
“Is it because Zeus swallowed Metis, the original goddess of wisdom?”
Persephone nodded slightly and revealed the secret hidden under the dark night in a deep voice.
"In the original [Chaos] Chaos, three original gods were born: Father Uranus, Mother Earth Gaia, and Old Sea God Pontos. They are the first generation of Titans, representing the incarnation of life and matter. , responsible for breeding and creation in the new [World].
The goddess of night, Nyx, was conceived at the end. She is the incarnation of rules, responsible for delineating the necessary order for the [world] and weaving the inner [texture]..."
Lorne listened quietly and nodded secretly.
In the original scriptures of Orpheus (Dionysianism), Nyx was born from the original [Chaos] and is regarded as the supreme **** of the three-phase goddess. She also has three different super-god identities. She can be a certain number. The goddess Ananke, the goddess of retribution Adrasthea, and the goddess of cause and effect Hermamene.
According to the ancient theogony records of Esoteric Buddhism, she is the original origin, and the three phases she possesses correspond to the three ancient gods, Uranus, the heavenly father, Gaia, the earth mother, and Pontos, the old sea god. Together, they constitute the world. On the outside and inside, it guides the [path] for the [world] in the dark night, representing the inevitable destiny of all things.
“[Material] is used to create and enrich [the world], and [rules] are used to formulate and reveal [destiny]. This is how everything should be.”
Persephone pondered for a moment and sighed quietly.
"But each generation of Titan God-Kings is not willing to just sleep after completing the great work of creation and hand over their responsibilities and authority to the next generation. Therefore, they always openly and secretly resist the arrangement of fate, or suppress them with tyranny. The growth of their children, or swallowing the child into their belly... However, their two attempts to resist fate failed without any surprise. "
“Until Zeus comes along?”
Lorne made up the twist in time, while Persephone nodded slightly and continued to ponder.
"In order to overthrow the rule of the previous Titan God King Cronus and continue to weave [Destiny], Nyx once helped the previous generation of God Queen Rhea to avoid the fate of being devoured by the newly born Zeus, and quietly raised him for a period of time .
In the process, Zeus succeeded in using a harmless image to please the goddess of the night, and learned from her the way to fight against fate.
—Each generation of continued bloodline of the God-King will inevitably have a [Seed of Destiny] to guide the inevitable replacement of royal power. Swallowing it can end the replacement of royal power and make oneself a part of the destiny. "
Lorne listened to Persephone's explanation with thoughtful eyes.
It is indeed mentioned in the secret scriptures of Orpheus that Nyx was once the adoptive mother of Zeus. It seems that she accidentally leaked the secret about [Transcendence] during her contact with the god-king.
The specific answer is self-evident.
“So, Zeus found the [seed]—Poros, his unborn son with Metis, the goddess of wisdom? And he devoured both mother and son?”
“That's right.”
Persephone nodded and continued to add.
"But this also led to the self-contradiction of [Destiny]. As a result, Nyx, who maintained [Order], split. The part of his will that agreed to support Zeus became the three goddesses of destiny, and continued to be responsible for weaving [Inevitability]. ]'s [pattern]; the other part turned into the three-phase Hecate, trying to pry this deteriorated [order] and reshape the future with [possibility]..."
“But, hasn't Poros, the **** of opportunity, who represents that [possibility], been swallowed up and wiped out by Zeus?”
Hearing the confusion raised by Lorne, Persephone slightly corrected it.
“Strictly speaking, Zeus only eliminated one option for Poros, rather than erasing all [possibilities]. Someone brought the [rebellious fire] out of Zeus's body.”
Lorne narrowed his eyes and suddenly realized
“Is it Athena?”
"Um."
Persephone nodded, and then spoke quietly with some sadness.
"Later, under the guidance of my godmother, this [possibility] was poured into my child Zagreus. But the [destiny] that had become a foregone conclusion was too strong, and Zagreus was born in [ Inevitably, there were ripples of discord, and eventually they were noticed by Zeus and the three goddesses of fate. My poor little Zagreus became a victim of their struggle and died a violent death. I only found out about this later. "
No wonder the Queen of Hades had such a big complaint against Hecate and disliked seeing the godmother.
It seems that it was mostly because his son Zagreus fell victim to the confrontation between Hecate and the three goddesses of fate.
Just when Lorne was about to say a few words of comfort, Persephone cast a meaningful look and spoke quietly.
“However, the matter did not end there. Someone rescued Zagreus' [heart] and allowed it to continue the fire in the mortal world.”
“Hecate?”
"No, Hecate has already failed once. At that time, she was already being targeted by the three goddesses of fate and Zeus. She had no chance to take action. It was Athena who really took action. She rescued Zagreus' heart and secretly preserved it. Part of that kid's mind.”
"What's all the fuss about this? If this possibility is lost, her mother Metis will never have a chance to break free from Zeus's mind. The goddess of wisdom certainly has reason to do so."
Persephone waved her hand indifferently, and then looked at Lorne with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"However, no matter how hard Athena and I tried, my poor little Zagreus, like her brother Polos, still failed to escape the disaster brought by fate, and could only leave this [possibility] to you."
Hearing this, Lorne fell into a brief silence.
He probably guessed why that part of Zagreus's mind was missing.
his unexpected appearance caused the destined baby to be born prematurely from the belly of Semele, the princess of Thebes, thus arousing the suspicion of Zeus.
As Persephone said, when the **** king takes action, and with the assistance of the three goddesses of fate, there will generally be no hidden dangers left.
So, the part of Zagreus's mind that was supposed to develop into the future Dionysus, the **** of wine, was completely destroyed by Zeus's thunder.
And he, because of the subconscious part of Zagreus that blocked the gun, and by virtue of his own particularity that he did not belong to this world, he narrowly escaped death.
“I didn't expect that the godmother who has been driving me around all this time will find you again and still wants to throw you into this gambling game.”
Persephone reached out to touch Lorne's head, showing pity and sentimentality on her face.
“What an unfortunate child…”
Immediately, the Queen of Hades paused slightly and showed surprise when she came into contact with Lorne.
“You seem to have the aura of Athena on you. She has found you?”
Lorne was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took on the form of [Bull].
“You mean this?”
Persephone nodded immediately, her eyes even sadder.
“Yes, my little Zagreus once transformed into a similar bull incarnation and tried to escape from the Titans who attacked him, but was eventually dismembered and killed.”
Hearing this, a thunderstorm flashed through Lorne's mind, his face changed drastically, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
