"I did this simply to show our position to the old fogies behind Thanatos."
In short, no matter what Thanatos did, she and Hades found it difficult to take action against him.
Unlike other spirits, Thanatos was a clergyman.
Although they are in the underworld and must obey Hades's orders, their identities are not given by Hades.
They appeared in the underworld because of the rules, and filled these vacancies.
Moreover, beings like Thanatos are actually the original inhabitants of Hell.
Although Hades and Persephone are the king and queen of the underworld, they are more like external rulers.
Before Hades arrived, this land was known as the Underworld.
His arrival marked its transformation into the underworld, the realm that governs the cycle of reincarnation in the human world.
Within this original underground world, there existed some extremely special beings.
They constitute the main body of the underground world and are the rules governing this underground world.
Although Hades is not afraid of these things, appropriate respect must still be shown.
Persephone looked at Hades, who was deep in thought, and gently patted his blue arm.
Hades reacted quickly upon feeling his wife's touch.
He bent down slightly, reached out his arm to lift Persephone, and gently placed her on his shoulder.
Persephone, sitting in this special spot, stretched and yawned, extending his legs.
Feeling completely comfortable, she continued:
"But now, these old folks are scared."
Tartarus is terrified by Viktor's threat.
Tartarus is the entity of the underworld.
After being bombed several times, it may have felt intense pain and wanted to release Victor from the underworld.
But other rules prevented Victor's soul from entering, imprisoning him in the underworld.
This led to a conflict between the various parties' perspectives.
“The Nyx lineage, representing the night, holds a large number of ‘underground divine positions,’ and she bestows each divine position upon her child.”
Thanatos was one of her descendants.
So Nyx had gods like Thanatos find a way to get rid of Erica's human body.
This forces Victor to exist only as a soul, unable to take any action in the material world.
Stay obediently in hell forever.
Hades blinked, looked up at his wife,
He admired Persephone for being able to think of so much.
"Of course, this is just a random idea of mine, but it should be pretty close to the truth."
"And now, seeing that I'm so angry but not punishing Thanatos, they'll only think that you, the King of the Underworld, are condoning their behavior."
Persephone lowered his head, looked at Hades' face, and said with a smile.
After the Thanatos incident, those mysterious consciousnesses naturally wouldn't give up sending gods to find opportunities to kill Victor.
Even though these gods knew that Victor's power was so great that even the rules themselves could hardly restrain him.
Even more remarkably, Victor was able to rival Hades without being defeated.
But the gods' goal was not to defeat Victor, but to kill the flesh and blood body that had possessed the human girl Erica.
Once Erica dies, Victor will no longer be able to move through her body.
But Hades harbored a question in his heart.
He was eager to know what the benefits of doing so would be for him.
Even if the gods of the underworld are defeated one by one by Viktor, it won't do Hades any good.
On the contrary, Hades might have to work overtime because everyone was unable to do their jobs.
So Persephone glanced down at Hades and said with a hint of disappointment:
"Are you stupid? They don't truly die in the underworld. But after being terrified of Viktor, do you think they'll still listen to those old fogies?"
"At that time, won't it be up to you to decide what these gods do in the entire underworld?"
Upon hearing this, Hades suddenly realized what was going on.
He looked at Persephone with delight, almost wanting to kiss her on the spot.
"Madam, you are too cunning!"
"?"
Realizing he had misspoke, Hades spat and quickly corrected himself.
"No, I mean, you're too smart."
Hades knew in his heart what he lacked most in order to wage war against the gods.
Isn't it just complete control over the underworld?
Although Hades was powerful enough to rival the gods.
But he still lacks manpower.
He had almost no advantage in a direct confrontation with the gods.
However, if the gods of the underworld become submissive because they are beaten up by Victor so many times.
Then Hades could easily command them.
Once Victor truly returns to the mortal world, Hades will be able to command the gods to wage war.
Thinking of this, Hades couldn't help but smile slightly.
Looking at Hades's expression, Persephone couldn't help but reveal a helpless yet indulgent smile.
...
Thanatos, who had been kneeling in place for a long time, remained motionless.
Its heart was filled with intense resentment and anger because it had actually been defeated by a human.
That battle undoubtedly became a permanent shame in its heart.
But at that moment, it sensed the strong presence of a living being behind it.
It was that human.
Thanatos was extremely sensitive to this aura, and a thought flashed through his mind.
It turned its head sharply, and in the depths of its illusory eyes, it caught sight of 'Erica'.
As its gaze swept over 'Erica', it was surprised to spot the familiar black scythe behind her.
That's its weapon!
Thanatos barely had time to think before he charged straight at Erica.
Anger gathered like energy within Thanatos's soul and body.
Its illusory form rapidly expanded, like a balloon about to burst.
"Humans who have won by sheer luck,"
"Fight me again!"
However, Thanatos suddenly froze.
He sensed that the other person's reaction seemed unexpectedly calm.
This time, Erica remained completely calm.
It simply raised its head casually, its eyes calm, as if it didn't take this Grim Reaper seriously at all.
Thanatos felt an unprecedented sense of crisis under that calm gaze.
The previously surging momentum appeared flustered and uneasy under this gaze.
Even the illusory soul began to tremble slightly.
Suddenly, the human in front of them swiftly stretched out a hand.
The hand, wreathed in flames, gripped its body tightly.
Under this control, Thanatos was unable to utter a single word.
It could only watch helplessly as the human in front of it, whom it could clearly manipulate at will, stared at it with icy eyes.
And he uttered an extremely cold statement:
"It seems so."
"You really want to die again."
