On the earth where the snow was gradually melting and tender buds were sprouting, a blonde girl followed closely behind a girl dressed in pure white.
They walked lightly across the soft, fresh, and damp earth, strolling through this land that had just welcomed spring.
The snow that had accumulated to ankle height has melted considerably.
Sparse snowflakes fell sporadically on the vast land, and tender green buds sprouted from the thin layer of snow.
Like awakening after hibernation.
Looking at the overflowing spring scenery around him, Persephone couldn't help but smile with delight.
She felt genuinely happy.
The rich scent of spring filled her nostrils, and the fresh, natural fragrance made her feel relaxed and happy.
Bathed in the warm spring sun, Persephone's steps were light, as if he had no connection with the earth.
And the damp land she treads on instantly comes to life, as if it were imbued with magic.
The black, damp soil seemed to come alive and began to gently churn.
In an instant, a vibrant and colorful flowerbed burst forth from the ground.
The tender branches and leaves stretched out, upright and vibrant.
Even the lush green grass peeked out, basking in the warm sunlight.
Erica followed closely behind the Queen of the Underworld, witnessing the vast expanse of flowers and plants growing at her feet, and gazing in amazement at the Queen's graceful figure.
After Professor Victor released the Queen of the Underworld, Erica regained control of her body.
Erica, as an observer, watched the entire event unfold.
Sensing the ever-emerging springtime atmosphere around her, Erica was well aware of the Queen of the Underworld's joy at that moment.
After all, anyone would feel depressed knowing that they would be stuck in an endless snowfield for up to four months every year.
Thinking about this, Erica began to understand and sympathize with the Queen of the Underworld's initial dissatisfaction with her.
Seeing the Queen of the Underworld so joyful and happy, Erica couldn't help but mutter to herself:
"He's clearly a god, yet he seems rather immature..."
It seems that even God has various emotions and can feel unhappy or angry because of the behavior of some people.
After all, Erica had already witnessed the true nature of several gods through the professor.
Hermes in the past, and now Hades and his wife Hades.
These deities are all very emotional; their joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are almost always written on their faces.
In addition, Hermes also possessed an extremely cunning mind.
But apart from that little bit of cunning, he doesn't seem to have any other abilities.
After the battle in the capital, Hermes was even driven to madness by the professor.
At this moment, the Queen of the Underworld did not appear as frightening as she had when she was sealed in the garden.
Her personality is more like that of an innocent little girl.
However, no one knows exactly how old this little girl is.
Next up is the image of Hades, the god of the underworld.
Whenever Erica thought of that name, she would picture Hades's blue skin and tall figure.
And there were the deep red walls and the golden forked spear tips.
Erica shook her head, trying to shake off the terrifying images.
Seeing these gods in person made Erica feel that her image of gods in her mind was somewhat shattered.
At that moment, Professor Victor's calm voice echoed in her mind:
"There is no need to over-deify them; gods are not invincible."
"They are called gods only because of their immortality and the honorific titles that come with being worshipped."
That's why they are called 'gods'.
Erica was somewhat dazed upon hearing this.
This is evident when Professor Victor successfully captured Hermes.
God is not invincible.
It was because of Hermes' reaction that Erica, upon entering Hell and learning that her challenge was Hades, the god of the underworld, was...
Although she was somewhat frightened, she did not feel an excessive sense of awe towards the gods.
One reason was that the empire's deeply ingrained laws prohibited residents from worshipping gods.
On the other hand, with even a real god captured by Professor Victor, what did she have to be afraid of?
Erica, thinking this to herself, silently asked Victor a question:
"Then...do gods also die?"
She was very curious about this question.
Although gods are immortal, according to Professor Victor, they are not invincible.
Doesn't that mean that gods have the opportunity to be killed?
From this perspective, perhaps they are no different from humans?
Hearing Erica's question, Victor responded in his mind as well:
"Won't."
Erica nodded without surprise. After all, if gods could die so easily, they wouldn't deserve to be called gods.
But at the same time, a strange sense of disappointment rose in her heart.
Even Professor Victor said that God cannot die, so it seems that he cannot completely deal with the gods either.
So, if Hades is truly determined not to let the professor leave, how will they leave the Underworld?
Thinking of this, Erica frowned, a strong sense of worry rising in her heart.
"But you can kill."
These words gave her a jolt, as if her heart had stopped beating for a moment.
The professor... what did the professor say?
You won't die, but you can be killed?
As she trudged through the damp, soft soil, she gazed at the Queen of the Underworld's back, clad in a pristine white dress.
Her heart suddenly started pounding in her chest, and a strong sense of unease filled her entire body.
Because before her stood a true god.
