Hades looked at her in confusion, but then Persephone suddenly said:
"Your dog is back."
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, Hades stood up from his chair, his crimson eyes trembling.
He gently placed his hands on Persephone's shoulders and hurriedly asked:
"You mean it!?"
Of course.
After receiving a positive reply, Hades couldn't wait to turn around and run to the Gates of Hell to see it for himself.
But suddenly, his gaze fell on the stacks of judgment papers next to Persephone and the underworld repair documents beneath her.
With so much work to do, he simply couldn't leave.
With that thought in mind, Hades turned and looked toward the Gates of Hell.
In his crimson eyes, a scorching flame seemed to ignite.
His gaze became incredibly clear, piercing through the upper and lower levels of the underworld and reaching the gates of hell.
Upon closer inspection, he was so excited that he trembled all over.
A three-headed dog, covered in hellfire, was lying in a makeshift wooden kennel in front of the gates of hell.
Huh? Wait a minute?
Hades was slightly taken aback.
Where did that doghouse come from?
He had no recollection of a doghouse in front of the gates of hell.
Moreover, is this really the gate to hell?
The area outside the Gates of Hell has become a vibrant sea of flowers and lush vegetation.
Hades was momentarily dazed.
What kind of nonsense is this?
The gates of hell have been transformed into a peach orchard, and the three-headed dog has even moved into its kennel.
If new souls enter through the door in the future, will he, the lord of the underworld, still have any authority?
"Oh well, never mind,"
It's good that the dog is back.
This shows that the dog thief still had some conscience, knowing to return the dog to him after bombing the underworld.
Hades reluctantly accepted it all.
After all, not forgiving the other person won't help.
Who knows if that kid will return to the underworld and cause some new trouble?
If the underworld were to suffer another bombing of that magnitude, Hades would probably be so stressed that he would lose sleep.
However, Hades was still somewhat puzzled when he thought about this.
Logically speaking, even if Viktor knew that the archive contained the trial switch he had set up, he shouldn't have had the right to enter the archive.
After all, the archives are an extremely important place in the underworld, containing information about the lives of countless deceased people.
Apart from him, only Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, was qualified to enter the entire Underworld.
Could it be that...
"Oh right, I'm the one who brought him in."
Persephone squinted and chuckled, as if he could see through Hades's doubts, and quickly answered.
Hades was somewhat puzzled.
If the underworld is perfectly fine, why did Persephone insist on bringing that human to such an important place?
"Madam, why are you doing this?"
"We've been living peacefully in the Underworld for so long. If we suddenly start the trials, wouldn't that be deliberately provoking a war with the Celestial Realm?"
"Hades, have you been behaving yourself for too long?"
At this point, Persephone's smiling eyes slowly opened slightly, quietly gazing into Hades's crimson eyes.
There seemed to be a hint of danger in his eyes.
Hades was about to speak, but his throat seemed to be choked by his wife's gaze, and he couldn't utter a word.
“Every year, I spend four months in that garden, simply because I am the so-called ‘evergreen goddess’.”
"I had never left the underworld at this time of year before that human came there."
Hades fell silent.
As Persephone said, he had indeed never seen her in winter.
Before Victor arrived, they had always taken all of this for granted.
Hades never even considered why his wife was trapped for four months every year.
Is it because they don't deserve freedom?
"The feeling of freedom is great, so I've had enough."
"But this freedom must be earned through one's own efforts."
Persephone took a deep breath and smiled slightly at Hades.
"Hades, I never thought I married a good-for-nothing, because you have proven it to me."
“But if you’ve been quiet for too long and can no longer wield your weapon, I wouldn’t mind remarrying another man.”
Upon hearing this, Hades immediately panicked and hurriedly began to defend himself:
“Madam, I never thought that way.”
The reason he publicly announced the trial to the heavens was because he had the same idea as Persephone.
Because Hades was also aware of this.
For a long time, he seemed to have been choosing to compromise in the face of the gods' provocations.
Even though they once initiated trials and waged war against the gods.
It was also just a warning to them not to cause more trouble in the human world and to avoid overworking themselves.
But Viktor's appearance and the restart of the trial did make him reconsider.
Isn't he being a rather pathetic ruler of the underworld?
Persephone looked at Hades before him and couldn't help but chuckle, saying half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Alright, alright, I did this on purpose because I knew you had this idea."
"You're like an old ox that can no longer plow the field; unless you give it a push from behind, you'll never have any motivation."
Hearing this, Hades breathed a sigh of relief, and his worries finally dissipated.
However, he never really took Persephone's threat to marry someone else seriously.
After all, who else in the entire underworld could be worthy of Persephone besides him?
Perhaps Victor posed a slight threat to him at the time.
But that human had already completed the trial and left the underworld.
Perhaps he has already returned to the human world, boasting everywhere about how he overcame the challenges of the underworld.
Just as Hades was lost in his proud fantasy, Persephone suddenly spoke up as if to remind him:
"Oh right, there's something I forgot to tell you."
Hades blinked, puzzled but with a sense of foreboding.
Immediately afterwards, Persephone continued:
"That human is back, and he's in my room right now."
Hades: "?"
