[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

Hearing what Melos said, Mingta stopped screaming, as if thinking of something, panic flashed across her face.

"Shakano Chiman." Melos said, "The regulations of the underworld, if you tell others the way to the underworld without authorization, how will you be punished?"

"The bottom of the River Styx will be his destination, Your Highness." Shakanochman said.

"Did you hear that?" Melos looked sideways at Mingta and said calmly, "If you have no objection to the king's regulations, then you can leave."

"No, no!" Minta exclaimed.

"Oh?" Melos elongated his tone, signaling to Shakano Chiman not to worry, he shook his foot, looking very leisurely, "Tell me, what do you have any objections to?"

"I am the king's most beloved maid, even if I make a small mistake, the king will not treat me like this." Mingta looked at Melos arrogantly, "You are just an outsider, if I tell the king that you are not Ersephone, then you will be the first to be executed."

"I've lived in the palace for so long, do you think he doesn't know who I am?" Melos sneered, "And you said it yourself, you're just a maid." He emphasized the word "maid" , "Then you should know that the few people present, no matter who they are, have the right to dispose of you."

"You are just jealous that I am favored by the king. You, a vicious person, do not deserve to be favored by the king."

"So what?" Melos shrugged, put his right leg on his left, and changed into a comfortable position, "Whether I am jealous of you, or punish you for doing something wrong, I have the ability deal with you, right?"

"You vicious person, you should get out of the underworld and return to Olympus." Even the maid of the underworld should not be underestimated. She was able to get rid of Shakanochman's shackles in an instant. Come to Meros.

Melos sat on the branch, surprised to find that he couldn't react to it.

By the way, his body doesn't have much divine power. Although Mingta is just a maid, the thing in her hand should be more than just an ordinary artifact. The power emitted by that thing in an instant made Melos imprisoned.

But at the next moment, a ray of light came out from Melos' anklet, and Mingta was bounced off by that force.

And Gakbel's power instantly reduced Mingta to ashes.

"Shakanochman!" Akarali looked at Shakanochman angrily, "You can't even look down on a single person!"

"I...I..." Shakanochman hesitated a bit, but both he and Gakbel looked at Melos with the same surprised eyes.

They could naturally see that the momentary stiffness of Melos' body was obviously affected by the object in Mingta's hand.

Although that thing was bestowed by Pluto, I never expected...

"There is nothing to hide." Melos jumped down from the branch, his expression unchanged, "Since you are Hades' confidantes, you will know about this sooner or later. I don't have much divine power. things."

"Who the hell are you?" Shakanochman asked first, even if Hades gave the order, even if he felt that the person in front of him was much better than Persephone, but he still couldn't stop him. curiosity.

"I am the queen of the underworld, the person who rules the underworld when the king of the underworld is not in the underworld. You only need to know this." Melos said in an orderly tone, "As long as Olympus thinks that staying in the underworld If it is Persephone, then I am Persephone, whenever."

Gakbel glanced at Akarali, who nodded towards him, so he and Shakanochiman bowed to Melos: "I will follow your order, Your Royal Highness."

"It's a big deal for Pluto's maid to betray Pluto, and she shouldn't be killed by you." Melos walked towards the pile of ashes, "Announcing it to the public means that Ta took advantage of Pluto's absence to introduce humans into Hades, and Mingta taunted her many times. I, who didn't respect me, was trampled into ashes by me..."

"Your Royal Highness." Gakbel looked at Melos disapprovingly, "You don't need to..."

"In the previous situation, you acted to maintain the stability of Hades, but now that I have already lived in Hades, you acted to challenge my authority," Melos pursed his lips, "Besides, she really doesn't treat me enough Respect, it pisses me off."

Then he took out the scepter bestowed by his mother, waved it at the pile of ashes, and a sprout slowly grew: "I will say in the future that Wang Gannian Mingta has been under my hands for many years, and let her grow in the ashes." Bringing out this plant can be regarded as... giving her another form of rebirth."

"I'm afraid that if such words spread, people will think you are even more ruthless." Akarali said worriedly.

"It doesn't matter." Melos said softly. He looked at the sprout and held the scepter that Demeter gave him tightly in his hand. "In this way, I can make people stop bothering me."

The vines in the palace of Melos have a unique way of transmitting information. If he wants to pass on news to Demeter in Hades, then these vines will help him a lot.

He has already passed on the information about what happened during this period, and Artemis has sent several messages. If they don’t reply, then they are likely to ask their mother for help, but the mother must be on the stand. On his side, since this is the case, then he must do something so that his mother can have no scruples.

And "the change of her daughter" will be the best reason for the goddess of harvest that "the whole person is changing".

It didn't take long for Meros to get information from Demeter. Leto had indeed gone to find Demeter, but Demeter rejected Leto's request. Demeter also told Meros, As long as Melos wants to do it, then don't care about her.

"They need me, otherwise Zeus wouldn't have tried his best to trap me in Olympus." Demeter said.

Meros looked at this sentence and felt a little sad. Demeter would probably be the most unfree god on Mount Olympus, and she couldn't even leave the domain of God.

Melos told Demeter about his handling of Minta, and told her that many people would know that Persephone had changed before long.

As expected, it didn't take long for the Queen of the Underworld to be indifferent and ruthless. The news that she killed the maid of the Hades spread throughout the Underworld. Under the instruction of Meros, Mingta's crimes were erased. Very disrespectful, even insulted the queen of the underworld, and was finally trampled into ashes by the queen of the underworld.

The gods always express their kindness through pity for the weak, so whether it is true or false, people describe "Persephone" as a cold, ruthless, and fierce woman.

As a result, the gods of Olympus discovered that the harvest goddess had completely changed.

Her sweet smile was gone, her soft voice was gone, and she looked at everyone with cold eyes. She seemed to think that the reason why her daughter became like this was all because Hades robbed her of her daughter. gone her daughter, and no god interceded for her daughter when Hera decreed it.

So she changed the growth law of all things in the world, she made them no longer be full of fruits all the time, she made flowers no longer bloom with vitality all the time, and even the weeds were no longer green all the time.

The ripening time of fruits slowed down, the blooming time of flowers gradually shortened, and trees began to wither in the Olympus God's Domain. Although Demeter was not a plant god and could not control the emergence and extinction of a species, she was The goddess of harvest, she can change the growth law of these plants, making the life of many plants become short-lived. The human world is gradually changing.

Many gods don't care about this change, because they will use their divine power to maintain the change of plants. As the gods of Olympus God's Domain, they have this ability.

But the human world was not so lucky. The changes in the growth cycle of all things in the world made them panic all of a sudden, but they didn't know what was going on, and even the prophets couldn't predict it accurately.

People's panic alarmed the gods of Olympus, and they realized that even if Demeter is unknown, even if she seldom appears in front of everyone, she is still one of the twelve gods of Olympus today. One, even if the divine power is greatly reduced, it is not something they can take lightly.

But Demeter still went her own way, and Zeus was still at the bottom of the sea and didn't know about it, so Hera came to Demeter's palace.

"What is the reason for the great Queen of Heaven to come to my little palace?" Demeter sat on the chair made of vines and looked at Hera indifferently.

She is no longer the gentle and kind harvest goddess.

Hera was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that Demeter would undergo such a big change in such a short period of time.

Changing the growth law of all things in the world caused Demeter's divine power to fade away. Her face was very pale, and her beautiful blond hair also faded away. Her indifferent expression made her look like a statue. Several gods who followed Hera Only this is very surprised.

"Demeter, I know you must be in great pain." Hera is different from other goddesses. She has a beautiful appearance, absolute majesty, and arrogance. Except for the excess of jealousy, she is almost The most perfect woman, "but neither should you."

Demeter sneered, narrowing her eyes slightly.

"Demeter." Hera sighed, "Let everything change back."

"Okay." Demeter agreed happily, "Give me back my daughter, and I will restore everything to its original state."

Hera frowned: "You know, the Great Mother Goddess has ordered..."

"Why Persephone has to go to Hades, you and I know very well." Demeter interrupted Hera, "Hera, you have supreme power, you have Zeus, you have many children , You have divine power that others cannot match, you are one of the most honorable people in the God Realm, and you are also the child of the Great Mother Goddess, you and Zeus have been loved by her, you have everything, but I only have my child. Demeter sighed almost sadly, "Don't try to persuade me to change my mind, I have nothing to rely on now, even if you want to punish me for this, I have no complaints."

As she spoke, countless flower petals surrounded her, pulling her body into a group of vines.

She slowly closed her eyes.

"Unless my child can return to me, I will not change my mind. I am too tired and need to rest. If you want to punish me, I will definitely not resist."

Hera pursed her lips and watched her slowly disappear in front of her. Her expression was gloomy, but she didn't stop Demeter.

"Let's go." Hera said.

When they walked out of the palace, the gate of the palace was closed instantly, and the vines that had been climbing outside the palace quickly withered.

Here, all vitality is lost...
