Growing Up and Being Legal

A few dozen breaths later, under the strange gazes of the crowd, Hades, dejected and completely devoid of his previous fierce and imposing manner, swore an oath to the Goddess of Oaths, using blood as a medium, that he would remain neutral in this coup and would no longer interfere in the conflicts of Olympus.

After making his promise, King of the Underworld looked around, and Jupiter seemed to feel a sense of relief.

Previously, the ancient Hecate, Goddess of the Underworld, the Three Brothers of Death, and the three Great Underworld Judge betrayed him; now, even his own wife has betrayed him.

Yes, and also that damned dog that devoured its master!

With his own affairs in such a state, he was too preoccupied to care about Zeus's mess.

Moreover, according to the account of the powerful enemy opposite him, Hades was immediately speechless when he heard that the three instigators of this coup were Poseidon, King of the Sea who wanted to help his brother, Queen Hera, the queen of the gods who punished her husband for his infidelity, and Goddess of Wisdom Athena who rescued her mother. He chose to lie down completely and gave up the urge to continue to get involved in this mess.

Seeing her husband back down, Queen Persephone, snorted with satisfaction. Her resentment softened considerably because of Hades' attitude, and she took the initiative to help the injured King of the Underworld to his feet.

Sensing that his wife's lukewarm attitude towards him had softened, Hades completely abandoned the trace of guilt in his heart, and all the bitterness and resentment he had just felt vanished.

Guo Rong, brothers are just for selling, nothing is more important than a wife.

Seeing this, Samael glanced at King of the Underworld, who showed signs of being henpecked, and a mocking smile quietly appeared on his face.

However, while taking an unconventional approach might seem plausible, he wouldn't place all his hopes on Hades' promise; the necessary procedures would still need to be followed.

Hades, realizing that all was lost, readily handed over the Underworld King's Sword and obediently accepted several spells from Hecate. Under the persistent questioning of the serpent, he bluntly revealed what he knew about Zeus, his trump card.

In reality, the suspicious Wise King of Gods only separated a portion of the power of the Seal of the God of Indulgence, allowing Hades to temporarily mobilize Tartarus's "Taboo of the Gods" as a precaution.

The true key to the core still lies in the hands of Zeus, specifically the Thunderbolt Scepter that represents the power of the sky.

If hostility is revealed prematurely and the King of Gods is pushed to the limit, he might directly summon the [Taboo of the Gods] to quell the rebellion, resulting in a lose-lose situation.

Therefore, before taking action, try to prevent him from obtaining the Thunderbolt Scepter.

Samael pondered to himself, and after drawing his conclusions, he kept them firmly in mind.

While the ancient serpent was plotting its next move, its companions were not idle either.

The two Witch, Atalanta, Circe, and Medea, freed their hands and walked into the group of three human Heroic Spirit who were collapsing and panting.

Due to the intensity of the battle just now, there were quite a few casualties, both light and serious.

The Huntress was responsible for resetting the bones and applying simple bandages to external wounds, while Circe and Medea activated their spiritual veins to cast healing Magecraft and speed up their recovery.

In addition, Samael's discovery of the divine mark that Zeus inscribed on the bodies of Heroic Spirit was not entirely without merit.

Dozens of human Heroic Spirit, whose bodies had been destroyed, were drawn together by divine seals and their soul fires were reassembled. Nourished by the vast ether, they slowly began to regain their physical forms.

Being marked with divine seals, leaving a record on the Elysium and the Loom of Fate, is equivalent to having a backup file in disguise. The Divine Seal Puppet can be used repeatedly and sent to the battlefield.

The ancient serpent, having grasped the underlying mechanism, was astonished and secretly felt fortunate.

If they hadn't unearthed this trump card beforehand, their attempt to dethrone Zeus would likely have been a Pyrrhic victory, leaving them battered and bruised.

As the chaos in Elysium came to an end, the three Underworld Judge returned to their duties. Charon continued rowing his boat, Thanatos, God of Death, and Hecate, Goddess of the Dark Moon, escorted Hades and his wife to King of the Underworld' palace.

Friendship is friendship, but caution is still necessary.

At least until the dust settles on the Olympus rebellion, Hecate and God of Death will stay with Hades and his wife for a few days to prevent King of the Underworld from changing his mind and informing Zeus.

As for Samael himself, considering the unique function of the divine seal, it would be too wasteful to simply erase it. Moreover, if too many people are released from the Elysium, it is easy for all sorts of people to mix out and for news to leak out.

Therefore, he spent two days pretending to be very tired, but he only identified dozens of trustworthy heroic Heroic Spirit, such as Perseus, Orion, Sisyphus, and the three sons of Heracles, and helped them remove their divine seals and bring them to his side.

As for the others, the ancient serpent promised to rescue them from Elysium in batches once he had the time, thus quelling their desires.

Queen of Heaven, everything was ready.

Dozens of the most outstanding Greek Heroic Spirit of the Golden Age gathered on the banks of the River Styx and boarded Charon, Ferryman of the Styx.

At the port, not only Hecate, Thanatos, God of Death, and the three Underworld Judge, but even King of the Underworld, who was under de facto house arrest, came with his wife to bid farewell, ready to witness the largest mass gathering of the dead in the underworld.

As the figures at the back of the procession gradually thinned out, Samael frowned as he looked at Circe and Medea beside Hecate, a pang of reluctance rising in his heart.

"You really don't plan to come with me?"

"Teacher Hecate said that this is a war of gods, and we are too weak to get involved. She told you to stay here to help her appease the human Heroic Spirit, make communications, and learn more advanced witchcraft so that you can truly help her."

The once boisterous and silly bird has become unusually serious, candidly revealing its plans.

"Yes, although I'm very reluctant to leave, I will work hard for Lord Theseus!"

Little Medea waved her pink fists, her small face solemn and thoughtful, her purple eyes gleaming beneath the gray mist, and a sense of lofty mission faintly emanating from her.

Seeing that his two companions had made up their minds, Samael, though reluctant, nodded with satisfaction at their willingness to share his burden. He raised his hand and gently stroked the two little girls' heads, his eyes filled with tender smiles.

Under such an intimate head pat, Medea's pretty face flushed slightly. She gripped the Nether Moon Staff tightly and mustered her courage to speak.

"Lord Theseus... what about my previous request? What's your opinion on it?"

Samael tapped little Medea's head with his bent finger and gave a light, annoyed snort.

"Children are forbidden from dating!"

Upon hearing this, Medea's expectant face immediately fell, and she squatted on the ground like a wilted eggplant, causing her to sniffle and feel a strong sour feeling in her chest.

"So, grow up quickly..."

However, just as Medea's mood plummeted, a gentle lingering sound reached her ears, startling the little Witch and causing her to freeze in surprise.

As the fully loaded ferry sailed into the dead fog of the River Styx and disappeared completely, little Medea awoke from her dream, raised her hand to touch her burning cheeks, her face flushed, and giggled foolishly.
