Episode 153.
Persephone continued, covering her mouth with her hand.
[For some reason, this bitch suddenly left Adonis in my care at that time. This crazy bitch. And then she pretended to care for Adonis? And Adonis didn’t even know that and spent six months of every year with the person who killed his mother?]
[I warn you, Persephone. Just tell Adonis about this. Then…]
[What then? What are you going to do?]
[……]
Aphrodite was speechless.
Because, as you said, there was nothing I could do.
Moreover, he could not ask for help from other gods.
Above all, this is purely an affair.
Because it was something that had to be hidden and concealed.
So it seemed like a perfect victory for Perosephone.
but.
[Persephone is the same. She used to get so angry when Hades cheated on her…]
[Hey, hey! That’s…!]
Persephone jumped at Hercules’ words.
He rushed forward as if to hurriedly block Hercules’ mouth.
but.
[Oh my. What is that story?]
Aphrodite caught Persephone like that.
[Hey, let go of this! Aphrodite! Let go of this!]
[Hercules? Tell me. What are you talking about?]
Aphrodite’s small smile is being created.
On the other hand.
[Please… please, don’t tell him… .]
Perosephone’s complexion gradually grew pale.
Persephone, whose complexion had become almost like a blank sheet of paper.
Persephone’s eyes trembled violently as if an earthquake had occurred.
[No… You must never tell him…!]
Persephone was trembling with great fear.
Well, that makes sense.
Her husband is Hades, the king of the underworld.
First of all, isn’t the force felt from the name itself different?
It was a name that could not help but tremble in fear.
But in fact, that wasn’t why Persephone felt fear.
So, would Hades find out about the affair and take revenge on him?
It wasn’t that kind of fear.
[Adonis… Adonis won’t be safe.]
It was the fear of losing Adonis.
I don’t know why the myth story is like that.
Greco-Roman mythology was particularly rife with affair.
There is no god who does not cheat.
God was no different from a debaucher.
But just one person.
Hades was the only exception.
Hades was a god who was very famous for his pure love.
Although I fell in love with Persephone at first sight and fell in love with her.
anyway.
There was only one Hades like that.
This is the incident where he had an affair with another woman.
Menthe.
Minthe was a nymph who served as Hades’ personal secretary.
Is that why?
Minthe, who had many contacts with Hades, eventually develops feelings for him.
And Persephone finds out about this.
Persephone calls out to Minthe quietly.
And said.
‘You dare to seduce my husband?’
And then crunch!
Just trample on Minte.
Mint is crushed to a fine powder without any excuse.
And thus, mint was born.
The origin of peppermint was this minte.
To be exact, it was minted flesh that Persephone had crushed into pieces.
Persephone brews the crushed mint into tea.
And serve it to Hades.
Hades tastes peppermint tea.
Hades loves peppermint tea.
So, I asked Persephone,
‘The fragrance is strong and very good. I’ve never seen anything like it in the underworld. What is it?’
To this Persephone replied:
‘This is a tea made by crushing and steeping mint, which my wife likes so much. Is it because it’s the kind of tea my wife likes? I guess it suits your taste?’
Hades just drops the teacup.
He is shocked as he looks at Persephone smiling.
Hades never did that again.
I never cheated again.
But now.
Conversely, this is the situation where Persephone cheated.
[I wonder what will happen if Hades finds out about Adonis’s existence… hmm.]
Hercules did not continue his story.
But what.
I could tell without you saying anything.
Perhaps Adonis should be crushed into small pieces and fed to Cerberus for dinner.
Just like Persephone crushed mint and brewed it into tea.
[No… that’s not possible…]
Persephone began to plead.
And what this means is one thing.
[There are secrets that we cannot reveal to each other, so let’s cover them up with a bet.]
Hercules said.
Aphrodite was the first to open her eyes and answer.
[What on earth do I believe in Persephone, this bitch? Not only did she steal my Adonis, she’s also a crazy bitch who acts like a hypocrite.]
[What? You crazy bitch? Are you done talking?]
[I’m done. What are you going to do when you’re done?]
Aphrodite looked as if she really was at a loss.
Then Persephone struck back, cracking her teeth.
[Ha! I don’t trust this rag-like bitch either.]
[What? That rag-like bitch?]
[What. Why. Did I say something wrong?]
[This fucking yandere bitch!!]
I was feeling dizzy.
Where did you see that conversation between goddesses?
“These two… Are these their original personalities?”
[That’s how it was originally.]
Bottom right of the screen in response to Siwoo’s question.
Hercules in the pop-up window nodded nonchalantly.
Is that why?
‘Thank goodness it was Hercules.’
If not, I can’t imagine what kind of retaliation I would have suffered.
anyway.
[If you really don’t believe me, why don’t you swear on the River Styx?]
In the video, Hercules speaks as if mediating between two goddesses.
The Oath of the River Styx.
It was a powerful oath of commitment in Greco-Roman mythology.
The oath made on this river had to be kept.
Even Zeus, the king of the gods, was not kind to him.
If you break this oath, you will be excommunicated as a god.
That is why the oath on the River Styx was absolutely binding.
[The winner will have exclusive rights to Adonis, and the loser will not reveal any secrets. Why not swear on the River Styx?]
As Hercules sorted things out, the momentum of the two goddesses died down for a moment.
[If it is an oath to the River Styx…]
[That would be enough…]
The two goddesses were lost in thought for a long time.
So the time of caution passed.
[Okay. I was already annoyed that this girl was lusting after Adonis. I might as well just cut her off.]
[If only I could cut ties with this damn Persephone.]
The two goddesses finally nodded their heads.
of course.
[A bitch like a stray? Who the hell calls someone a stray? You’re a bitch born from an abandoned penis and without parents.]
[This X-training?]
[Oh my. Who would have thought that she was born from a penis, her mouth is also vulgar.]
[Ha, that’s enough. What can I say to a girl whose parents are her maternal uncle and aunt, and whose husband is her uncle? A girl whose very existence symbolizes incest.]
[What? This fucking bitch! Are you done talking?]
[What are you going to do when you’re done?]
The friendly conversation continued for a while.
* * *
The two goddesses swore an oath to each other on the River Styx.
No special ritual procedures were required.
All they had to do was add ‘I swear on the River Styx’ to the end of the oath.
Is that why?
“Does that really work?”
Siwoo was skeptical about its effectiveness.
Of course, when you look at the mythological story, it has absolute binding force.
Was it because of this that the sun god, Helios, lost his son, Phaethon?
Since then, Helios, depressed, has retired.
There was an unprecedented event in which the position of sun god went back to Apollo.
That is why the Oath of the River Styx was beyond doubt.
But now that I look at it, well.
“It doesn’t seem like there’s any particular binding force.”
It seemed like he was just making a verbal promise.
but.
[It may seem like a simple statement, but the power of words is compelling.]
“What is the word?”
[It refers to the power contained in the words themselves. It can be seen as a kind of magic, but in fact, it is a concept that goes on a different track… .]
Hercules continued to explain something.
And what.
‘It’s complicated.’
As expected, these were difficult concepts to understand.
However, the core points summarized with insight (S+) were as follows.
[I cannot disobey the oath I swear to the River Styx, since I am using the power of my own speech.]
It could be seen that it had a definite binding force.
There was no room for doubt, for Hercules to say such a thing.
But wait a minute.
‘Can we resist by manipulating reality?’
Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.
Isis’s Reality Manipulation (SSS).
A fraudulent ability to manipulate reality by twisting the laws of the world.
With this ability, wouldn’t it be possible to twist the laws of the oath?
‘The backlash will be enormous, but…’
I thought I could do it if I twisted it well.
‘hmm.’
A slightly deeper thought.
Apart from that, Aphrodite’s voice was heard in the video.
[So what’s the bet?]
[The bet is simple.]
In the video, Hercules nodded slightly.
Then he brought out two large boxes from somewhere and showed them to me.
[There is an Adonis in one of the two boxes.]
Hercules explained the rules of the bet to the two goddesses.
[After the two of you decide on the order, you choose one of the two boxes. And the person who chooses the box with Adonis in it gets to monopolize Adonis.]
[What if you choose a box without Adonis?]
Persephone’s question continued.
Hercules answered as if it were a given.
[If you choose a box that does not contain Adonis, you will not be able to claim any ownership over Adonis. You must not bind, threaten, or seduce Adonis in any way.]
add.
[You must never reveal any secrets related to this matter.]
The two goddesses had no answer for a moment.
But that was only for a moment.
[Okay, that’s simple, that’s good. This bitch doesn’t seem to have any intention of cheating.]
[Who said that?]
Aphrodite and Persephone nodded.
but.
[Previously.]
Aphrodite spoke to Hercules.
[Hercules, you too swear on the River Styx.]
[Yeah, you set up this bet after all. How can we believe you’ve pulled off some kind of scam?]
Persephone added to Aphrodite’s words.
Hercules seemed to think for a moment.
[What do you want to swear by?]
Then he asked the two goddesses.
[I swear that there is definitely Adonis in one of the two boxes.]
[I also swear on the River Styx that neither of us conspired in any way to prepare for this wager.]
The words of Aphrodite and Persephone continued.
“The two goddesses are more intimate than I thought.”
Siwoo let out a little exclamation.
Is he originally a meticulous person?
Or maybe it was his obsession with Adonis that made him like that.
I couldn’t figure it out, but there was a precision to it that didn’t make it easy to give in.
[I told you, they really were quite picky people.]
Hercules in the pop-up window on the lower left shook his head.
This means that part of the plan has gone awry.
But whatever.
[I told you, if you hadn’t warned me in advance, I would have been in trouble.]
Siwoo also predicted this situation in advance.
I had already promised Hercules this long ago.
So, back to Hercules in the video.
[One of the two boxes must contain Adonis, and I swear on the River Styx that I have not conspired with either Aphrodite or Persephone in preparing for this wager.]
Hercules raised one hand and swore an oath.
As expected, it seemed like a vow made only with words.
But contrary to appearances, the Oath of the River Styx had an absolute binding force that not even Hercules could defy.
Is that why?
[I thought you were conspiring with this bitch…]
[It certainly seems like a fair bet without any trickery.]
Only then did Aphrodite and Persephone breathe a sigh of relief.
[Then let’s decide the order. I’m thinking of tossing a coin. Is that okay?]
The two goddesses looked at each other.
And then nod.
[good.]
[doesn’t care.]
He nodded as if it didn’t matter.
Hercules took a small coin out of his bosom and showed it to me.
And then he tossed a coin lightly.
As a result.
[Me first.]
The first one to choose was Aphrodite.
