So she roughly understood what Victor wanted.

Therefore, the Queen of the Underworld's voice rang out calmly in the air:

"I can't persuade Hades for you unless you return his dog..."

"Impossible, that was a gift I promised to give to my family."

'Erica' came out of his mouth.

She didn't even have time to react and flatly refused.

The Queen of the Underworld fell silent upon hearing this answer.

She always felt that the people in front of her were being unreasonable.

Why would you give someone a gift containing their underworld dog?

But after only a short while, 'Erica' spoke again:

“However, I have no intention of letting you persuade Hades.”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the flowers around him straightened up curiously, waving their colorful petals, as if they were all watching what Victor would say next.

Erica smiled faintly and said casually:

"All you need to do is give me a golden branch from your garden."

Upon hearing this, the Queen of the Underworld fell into a brief silence again.

The surrounding flowers and plants seemed to sense the change in atmosphere, bowing their heads and immersing themselves in silent contemplation.

Finally, she spoke up and asked:

"Are you planning to take this living person into the underworld?"

Erica nodded.

In the game, it is impossible for players to directly enter Hades' underworld through normal means.

Because players are considered 'living people'.

Living people cannot enter the underworld.

Therefore, through continuous research and experimentation, players finally found a way to enter the underworld as 'living people'.

First, players need to possess the item [Wheat Ears of the Goddess of Abundance].

Then defeat Cerberus and enter the gates of Hell.

Arrive at the River Styx, the closest river to the gates of Hell, give the boatman a gold coin, and finally find the Queen of the Underworld.

Exchange the [Wheat Ears] for the [Golden Branch], and then give the [Golden Branch] to the boatman Charon. Charon will then lead the 'player' into the Underworld.

That's roughly the process.

"If all you want is Jinzhi, I can help you."

With the Queen of the Underworld's promise, the surrounding flowers and plants began to sway.

The giant tree behind the tall wooden house swayed gently.

Soon after, a golden branch fell from the treetop and floated lightly into Erica's hand.

"Now, it's your turn to fulfill your promise."

The Queen of the Underworld's imposing voice, though not angry, slowly rose, seemingly tinged with anticipation.

Erica simply smiled faintly and replied:

"Of course, no problem."

The Queen of the Underworld transforms into a lush, flower-filled garden for four months each year.

This was not her intention, but rather because of the changing seasons, she was forced to confine herself to this snow-covered land.

When the world enters the four coldest months of the year, the extreme cold makes it difficult for most plants to survive, and the whole world will suffer a complete crop failure.

Even the flowers and plants had to fall silent and stop growing.

Meanwhile, Hades, who is in the underworld, senses that winter is coming and will be forced to transform into a garden.

It provides a non-freezing habitat for plants and trees in a cold world.

Therefore, she was also given another title – 'Goddess of Evergreen'.

To lift her restrictions, all we need to do is turn winter here into spring.

Just then, the black trench coat behind 'Erica' suddenly billowed violently.

The surface of the swaying trench coat flashed with the colors of six elements, their interplay of light forming a dazzling stream of light that slowly enveloped the snowfield.

The sun in the sky seemed to rise higher and become even hotter.

The snow on the vast snow-covered plains began to melt, turning into clear streams that nourished the soil.

New soil sprouts, and then spring rain falls.

Sensing everything happening around her, the Queen of the Underworld's voice was filled with astonishment:

"What……"

boom!

A dazzling bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and crashed to the ground.

As the light faded, a gentle breeze began to blow from all directions, caressing the land.

In the blink of an eye, tender green shoots broke through the soil from the cracks split open by lightning and grew rapidly.

Looking around, the sparsely snow-covered soil is instantly covered with a vibrant green.

Sensing the strange changes on this land, the Queen of the Underworld's voice trembled in the air:

"This is...natural?"

As the breath of spring grew stronger, the Queen of the Underworld's originally ethereal voice gradually became high-pitched, like the gentle voice of a young girl.

Immediately afterwards, dense and intricate tree branches, resembling antlers, rose from the ground and intertwined in a complex manner.

Soon, clusters of colorful flowers grew rapidly around the branches, completely obscuring them.

In the blink of an eye, petals fell from the sky like rain, gradually obscuring the antler-like branches.

Amidst the profusion of flowers, a lively young girl wearing a flower wreath and a pure white dress slowly emerged.

She looked to be about the same age as Erica.

The girl stared in disbelief at her own body.

This was the first time she had felt the arrival of spring, and it had come so quickly.

And this was actually changed by a human.

This shocked her immensely.

Immediately afterwards, a golden ear of wheat radiating a warm, holy light landed in front of the girl.

She stared blankly up at the sacred golden ear of wheat.

Following the arm wrapped in black sleeves, Persephone looked up.

What came into view was a tall man.

He was wearing a black trench coat, and his calm and composed face exuded a heroic air.

Persephone stared in astonishment, covered his mouth, and stammered:

"You...you're not..."

Before she could finish speaking, Victor's cold voice abruptly interrupted her:

"I've said it before, as long as I see you first, I'm willing to let you see what I look like."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

"I wonder if Madam would be interested?"

"Will you come with me on a journey to the underworld?"
