But he did not fret over gains or losses.
After all, that cloak wasn't a tool to enhance his strength, but rather a material to prepare for creating his body.
"Oh, right."
Persephone looked at the deep red trench coat in his hand, a sudden glint of inspiration in his eyes, and he smiled at Viktor, saying:
"If you encounter other gods, you can also bring their divine power back to me."
"Perhaps it will come in handy."
Now, Victor has yet another reason to take action against them.
"I'll keep an eye on it."
Having received a reply, Persephone nodded and smiled gently at him.
A hand slowly extended, its fingers tracing a circle across Viktor's chest.
"I look forward to the day you have a physical body again."
As he spoke, Persephone even stood on tiptoe.
Her lips brushed close to Viktor's ear, and she breathed out a warm breath, whispering softly:
"I can't wait."
As soon as she finished speaking, Persephone transformed into a spring breeze carrying pink petals.
Riding on the warmth, it swept over Viktor's body.
Then, the breeze swirled gently above the room, leaped out of the hazy underworld, and vanished.
Viktor slowly raised his head, squinting as he watched the flowers disappear in the wind.
After Persephone left, a black, one-eyed raven landed on Viktor's shoulder.
It watched as pink petals fell to the ground all around it, and then let out a sharp cry:
"Oh, I really feel sorry for that Mr. Hades."
"What sorrow?"
Victor glanced at Vega expressionlessly.
On Vega's expressive bird head, he read an extremely surprised look.
The crow raised an eyebrow, touched its beak with one wing, and squinted at Viktor with its single eye.
"What sorrow are you still talking to me about?"
"You, Viktor, you really like this kind of thing, don't you? When did you start changing your tastes?"
Hearing this, Viktor frowned, suppressing the urge to tear Vega's mouth apart, and said:
"Perhaps you've misunderstood something."
He opened his palm, gently caressing the pale pink petal in his hand, and slowly spoke.
"This tactic is just to give you a glimmer of hope, to make you feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"In reality, every move we make is under the control of the other party."
Once you truly believe it, you'll be devoured, leaving not even bones behind.
After all, apart from a few hotheads, none of the gods are without guile.
It cannot be ruled out that this Queen of the Underworld was genuinely grateful and wanted to repay him for lifting the curse of April.
However, what the other person wants to do is their own business and does not necessarily represent their attitude.
If he really crosses the line, then he shouldn't blame others for turning their backs on him.
Vega was somewhat surprised and murmured to himself:
"No wonder you've remained unmoved."
"But this lady is really something, even I, a crow, can hardly contain myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Viktor's hand reach out.
It watched helplessly as Victor placed his finger on its forehead.
Feeling the resistance from his fingertips, Vega felt an extremely ominous premonition.
Snap!
With a crisp sound, Viktor flicked Vega's forehead with his finger.
"Aww!"
Vega cried out in pain, flapped his wings wildly, and opened his beak to call out.
A ripple emanated from the small bird's head, making the image in its single eye appear somewhat blurry.
A short while later, Vega composed herself, flapped her wings, and flew off Victor's shoulder, glaring angrily at him:
"Damn you, Viktor, you actually hit me for another woman?"
"Don't make your words so easily misunderstood."
Viktor leaned back, and at the same time, a soft leather chair appeared beneath him.
He sat comfortably in the leather chair, his gaze refocusing on the mirror in front of him.
In the mirror was his own reflection.
Thinking back to when he saw Leah again, and all the things she told him, Victor knew that...
The most urgent task now is to leave the underworld as soon as possible.
The hope of reshaping his body has begun to emerge, and he needs to start making full preparations now.
"We are about to truly leave the underworld."
