Dear Broom Knight

Although he pledged his loyalty, Hermes knew Zeus was no good.

But he really didn't expect that, while everyone was working together to escape, Zeus could be so selfish and counterproductive... just to take Mount Olympus with him.

In the past, even when he was in a difficult position or felt sympathy, he would at most subtly help Athena and Apollo when they were secretly causing trouble, or help certain goddesses who really wanted to escape Zeus's clutches hide their tracks, but he had never really thought about completely leaving Zeus.

Even though this god was untrustworthy, fickle, opportunistic, and lecherous, and didn't seem to know what he was capable of, only showing a fierce appearance, he never targeted Hermes.

Even if Zeus's trust in him was limited, at least it existed.

Even if he made mistakes, Zeus would at most reprimand him a few times, never suspecting that he would deliberately cause trouble... or rather, he didn't care about his mischief at all.

This was the greatest kindness Zeus could offer.

You have to know, Zeus didn't discriminate between men and women, and the Greek pantheon never had ethics.

Only the gods he truly valued would Zeus abandon his lustful side for.

Hermes was actually very grateful for Zeus's attention... even if it was initially because Hermes himself had worked hard to show enough intelligence and talent.

But at least Zeus saw it and really valued it.

This was really not easy.

Hermes's loyalty wasn't enough to make him call a stag a horse against reality... Since becoming a god, about ninety-eight percent of Zeus's brain had probably turned into another liquid.

Being able to occupy a place in that two percent was really Hermes's luck.

And for Zeus's children living on Mount Olympus, whether he cared or not was really important.

Hera looked very crazy, but in essence, she bullied the weak and feared the strong.

She didn't dare to bully them after they came of age and had divine duties, but she would ruthlessly kill the divine children when they were young.

Even Apollo and Artemis had to hide for many years!

After becoming friends with Apollo, Hermes actually learned how miserable many of Zeus's children with similar backgrounds lived.

Regardless of whether it was because his innate intelligence made Zeus feel he could be used, the result was that he was protected from a young age.

Even his mother, the nymph Maia, didn't suffer any misfortune.

Maia... Hermes suddenly felt a sense of emotion.

He was taken away from his mother by Zeus very early, and actually had no feelings for Maia.

For this queen of the gods, there was still a slight difference between having an intersection for the sake of having children or whether the mother herself was favored by Zeus.

It didn't prevent her from killing everywhere, but the reality that there were always new people appearing still made her choose to focus on the big and let go of the small.

She could let go of those who obviously wouldn't have any more interaction with Zeus after that.

Like someone who felt very innocent, but Zeus kept visiting, her anger would be a little stronger.

Just like Artemis and Apollo back then.

The feud between her and the siblings was actually understood by both sides, so Apollo's intervention actually proved Zeus's will.

Unfortunately, neither Hermes nor the siblings were able to save their mother's life.

Apollo's mother was too weak to withstand the storms of the underworld, and even if the siblings surrounded her, she still dissipated in a gust of wind.

And Maia... as a mountain nymph, she was unwilling to abandon her mountain.

Even if Hermes stood outside the mountains and lamented and pleaded, Maia still chose to turn into dust with her sisters as the world collapsed.

Hermes was already very sad during the escape, and as a result, he saw Zeus's antics when he was in his most volatile state of mind.

The key was that he did it in front of all the gods.

In comparison, the sins carried by Hades were definitely not enough to make him so miserable, after all, even if he took action to destroy humanity, it was because of his duty as the King of the Underworld... But this boss would rather have his divine soul scraped off by the knife-like gale of hell than throw his scepter to smash Zeus.

And his invisible helmet was placed on Persephone.

There was no way, after the Queen of the Underworld entered hell, because her soul was relatively clean, she was a bit conspicuous.

Otherwise, Persephone wouldn't have been able to protect her three sons so easily... These three had too comfortable a life in the underworld, and often messed around in the human world.

They wouldn't casually hurt people.

But wherever they appeared with the aura of the underworld, the aura of death would come... Knowing this and still wandering around the city-states was indeed a sin.

In addition, because of Hades's doting, these three lived too happily and couldn't withstand any pain at all, and they were timid when they encountered the real thing... In a place like hell, the more afraid you are, the faster you die.

Fortunately, Persephone and Hades had very firm wills.

It was just that Hades couldn't control his resentment and slapped Zeus, who almost sacrificed their family to Mount Olympus as fuel.

Hermes could understand his sudden impulse.

Originally, Hades's family was preparing to escape alone after receiving the news.

But they were spotted by the sharp-eyed Zeus and chased into the depths of hell together... And the black hole opened by hell was originally intended to absorb Mount Olympus.

Of course, Hades wasn't the only one who took action at the time.

Some Olympian gods who knew they couldn't escape gave Zeus the last big move in their lives.

Making him, who was being intercepted by the Lord of Hell, almost completely turned into scum.

Unfortunately... Hermes never thought in his life that he would one day feel sorry because Zeus wasn't killed.

But from that day on, he really completely let go of the loyalty in his heart.

From then on, he only lived for himself.

But he didn't think about taking Persephone's family away from Olympus at first.

After all, that was Paradise Mountain.

No matter what the gods inside were like, at least it could heal Persephone's soul damage.

Anyway, there was no need to worry about Zeus having any more crooked ideas about Persephone, he was actually hurt more than Hades.

If it wasn't for the complete binding with Mount Olympus, he probably wouldn't even be able to protect his body.

But he probably wouldn't wake up if he didn't sleep for hundreds of thousands of years.

Moreover, the old guys on Paradise Mountain only wanted Mount Olympus, and they weren't very satisfied with Zeus as an attachment.

Clearly, they had also done a lot of bad things, and used some crooked methods to limit the purest and most intolerable positive energy of Paradise Mountain to a fixed area, so that they couldn't perceive and judge their right and wrong.

However, they completely ignored the life and death of the gods on Mount Olympus, and directly exposed the sacred mountain to positive energy, and instantly accepted the baptism of positive energy before they even started to get used to it.

Heh~ Then, Zeus, who might have been able to control Olympus with his divine soul, was instantly thrown back into his body.

The only difference from the god corpses floating at the bottom of the star realm was that he was lying in the soil, pressed under the mountain.

Because of this unexpected situation, almost all the Olympian gods, who were already covered in injuries, fell asleep... leaving only Apollo, Artemis, Athena, and him, and the half-crippled Persephone.

Now there should also be Prometheus, but Hermes also fell asleep when he left.

After all, he harbored malice as soon as he saw Zeus, and it was difficult to guarantee that he wouldn't be attacked by the thunder on Mount Olympus, so he might as well take a nap first to calm himself down and wait for the opportunity.

Hermes and Persephone still couldn't stay in Paradise Mountain all the time in the end.

There was no way, Hades and the others couldn't completely give up the death priesthood.

Actually, Hades couldn't be considered a pure death god, otherwise he would have been drawn directly into the top layer of the River Styx when he escaped from hell, so he wouldn't be completely rejected by positive energy.

But his connection with the River Styx, which wasn't very deep to begin with, would be slowly cleaned up by positive energy.

In that case, when Hades and the others woke up, they would probably only have the identity of Titans left.

But becoming the true master of the underworld was Hades's reliance and goal all along, and Persephone didn't want her husband to fall into despair on the day he woke up.

Moreover, although he had a good relationship with Apollo, Hermes also knew that the three siblings were actually very wary of him.

They were afraid that he would stop them when they secretly attacked Zeus.

Hermes thought about it carefully, and also felt that he should make his loyalty consistent from beginning to end.

When Zeus was alive, Hermes couldn't do things that were too un-Hermes-like.

So, although he secretly helped a little, he still accompanied Persephone to leave Paradise Mountain.

Hermes guessed that Athena had guessed something, so she only said a few words about seeing them in other universes and let them leave.

Originally, Persephone could actually be awake and be siblings with him.

But a mother always couldn't bear to watch her children wait for the arrival of the River Styx in the cold depths of the earth without any protection.

Even if they didn't feel anything at all now.

In the end, Persephone chose to completely separate her divine power and wrap it around the outside of those few groups of soul fire.

The price was the complete loss of her memory and divine power.
