In the vast palace of the underworld, countless blue-tinged souls gathered densely on both sides of the hall, whispering among themselves.
They would occasionally glance at Erica's figure with their ethereal gazes, their heads almost touching, their lips trembling.
For a moment, the palace of the underworld was filled with a buzzing sound like the flapping of mosquito wings.
Hades stood before his tall, imposing desk, lowered his head, and fixed his gaze on Erica in front of him.
He knew that the human girl's body had been temporarily possessed by the cunning dog thief.
He could clearly recognize that familiar aura from the pride, confidence, and calm smile in Erica's eyes.
Even so, Hades still mocked Erica for her arrogant remarks.
He crossed his arms, his two thick arms tightly clasped in front of his chest, his muscles taut, the veins on them clearly visible like snake veins.
Do you know what the trial means?
"With your mere human body, do you really think you can withstand the pain of trials?"
Victor knew, of course, because he had already passed through this more than once.
【Hell Trials】This is a high-level challenge in the underworld.
This includes various regions of Hell, as well as a wide range of challenging obstacles.
Without exception, the ultimate goal of the trials is always the same.
That is to fight our way out of the underworld.
Hades looked at the expressionless 'Erica', gave a light snort, and then said coldly:
"I will not begin the trial for you, arrogant human. Stop dreaming."
After saying that, he plopped back down in the huge, deep red chair and reopened the book filled with densely packed names.
He picked up a long gold pen and began to write meticulously on it.
Hades was writing something while directing the line of souls without looking up.
"Next!"
He became completely absorbed in judging the dead and ignored Erica standing in front of his desk.
At this moment, Erica's eyes once again revealed a gentle, girlish quality.
She lowered her head, silently speaking to Victor, who was hidden behind his trench coat:
"Professor, it seems he doesn't want to agree to our request."
She remembered Victor telling her that those who could pass the trials of the underworld would be qualified to leave it.
Therefore, Erica mustered up the courage to make this request directly to Hades.
However, it was clear that the other party was unwilling to pay them any attention.
At that moment, Viktor's calm and composed voice echoed in Erica's mind:
"As expected."
Upon hearing this answer, Erica frowned and clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction.
She believes that Hades refused the request because he was afraid.
Because when Professor Victor said he wanted to take on the trial, Hades must have assumed that Victor had the ability to do so.
That's what Erica thought.
In Erica's mind, the professor was omnipotent.
Therefore, she firmly believed that Hades refused because he was afraid that the professor would pass the trial easily and let him go easily.
"So what should we do next?"
Erica was filled with doubt, but Victor hadn't spoken since.
Just then, a light voice came from the side:
"Over here, over here."
Erica was slightly taken aback upon hearing that light voice.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Persephone secretly waving at her from a corner of the palace.
The other person was hiding behind the wall at the corner, with half of their body slightly leaning out. She beckoned with her hand.
Seeing this, Erica raised her head and cautiously looked at Hades, who was lying on the writing desk.
The towering lord of the underworld remained completely absorbed in his work, as blue-tinged souls continued to surge forward and depart.
Seeing that the other party was not paying attention, Erica tiptoed along the wall and quickly walked towards Persephone.
Soon, Erica approached Persephone and whispered:
"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"
Persephone held up a finger to his lips and shushed.
Then, with a mysterious smile, he grasped Erica's hand tightly and whispered:
"Come with me."
The two moved lightly through the dark palace corridors.
Suddenly, their figures seemed to transform into a chaotic array of colorful petals, bursting open in mid-air.
As the petals gradually sank and fell to the ground, they transformed into pink fluorescent light, shattered, rose again, and gradually disappeared.
...
Pink petals drifted dreamily from all directions, gradually gathering towards the center of the room.
These delicate petals quickly coalesced into a dense point of light, which then gradually solidified into the figures of two young girls.
As the petals slowly unfurled, Erica and Persephone landed gracefully on the floor of the room.
Upon entering the room, Erica experienced a brief period of darkness, and everything around her appeared blurry.
But as the lights gradually came on, her vision began to adjust to the light.
Finally, I could clearly see the deep and solemn room.
This place looks like an archive.
The surrounding bookshelves are towering, densely packed with all kinds of ancient and heavy books.
Erica was even more amazed by the scene outside the bookshelf.
Countless enormous steel gears meshed together, producing a series of creaking and clanging metallic sounds within the confined space.
