In the middle of the conversation between the two gods, Nana appeared.

"King, I'm coming!"

"Have the spirits of Helen and Paris settled down?"

"Rest assured, they have been tried personally by Judge Minos and sent to serve their sentence in the Prison of Fire. ”

When she finished speaking, she turned to Demos and praised, "Well done, God of Darkness, you are finally willing to return the memories of Big Brother Jose." ”

"Forget it, I regret doing something boring. ”

Demos smiled far-fetched.

Nana pursed her lips disapprovingly, then approached the Hades and said with a tentative smile:

"In that case, the king should also be generous, how about you remove the mana of Lethe for Brother Jose, and return Kareta to a complete prince?"

Hades had expected what she would appeal, so he couldn't help but look at her, and said:

"Bethanynie, I dote on you, but you must know how to be measured in everything! Hellworld must not set such a precedent for implanting memories of past lives in reincarnations! And I fear that even if you help Carreta like this, it may not be a good thing for her. ”

"What...... What do you mean?"

"How can Caret be so lucky, I'm afraid she won't be able to get past Zeus in the end, unless she ......" In the middle of speaking, Hades turned his ill-intentioned gaze to Demos. Unless, halfway through, she can really understand herself. ”

"Uh...... It's so profound, I don't understand it!"

Nana was dumbfounded.

"Of course you don't understand. But if he just knew, wouldn't he?"

Demos didn't make any more explanations in his heart, but smiled back at Hades.

"Now that the matter that should be resolved has been resolved, we are also going to take our leave. Bethany, haven't you always wanted to go to Australia? Let's go now. ”

Hades looked up at her, his expression as gentle as a mature man.

Nana's cheeks suddenly flew a happy flush, and she nodded lightly to him, joining hands with him.

"Wait a minute, don't you hate anymore, don't you hate Olympus who gave us shame? Hades!"

In a daze, Demos hurriedly called out to the Immortal.

In response, Hades stopped his gaze on the sunset sky, smiling calmly and peacefully.

"Hate, of course I hate, but if one day you find a treasure in the world that you want to take care of, you will find that hatred is no longer important, because it is not the whole of your life.

"I want a treasure that I want to take care of..."

Demos muttered, looking enviously at Hades and the bright Bessephone beside him.

"So, you must have found the treasure that belongs to you, right? That's why Hades' eyes became so gentle..."

Hades threw a firm smile at him, which was both an answer and an encouragement.

"As a fellow Titan, I would like to warn you one last time to be wary of your surroundings, not all gods are as insecure as I am. From the moment you have that thing, you should understand the truth that power and love cannot be both. Sooner or later, you'll have to choose between it and Carrete. So where to go, you have to weigh it up. ”

"Hades, thank you. ”

Demos looked solemn at Hades's words, but he was still grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"Goodbye, brother. ”

Is the choice between power and love?

Watching Betsephone take Hades's hand and walk away, Demos's eyes softened......

Demos returns to another dimension through the spell of "Space Teleportation".

Now, the Athens of the human world should be the time of night.

Standing on a stone staircase outside the Dark Temple, he thought to himself, and unconsciously looked out into the vast darkness.

There is no sun, no stars, no high-rise houses, no trees and jungles, no day and no night, if it weren't for the fact that Demos had long been accustomed to the unique characteristics of this space, he would really wonder if he was blind in it, and could only see the only color - black!

With a shallow sigh, Demos hurried up the high stone staircase. The black-clad guards on the left and right sides of the temple gates bowed respectfully to welcome their ruler back.

These servants who have been with me for thousands of years have followed me from the sacred mountain of birds and flowers to this harsh extradimensional dimension, and even if they are reincarnated, they will accompany me back here again. Should I do my duty as a king and bring them a whole new world?

Demos passed the kneeling guards and entered the Dark Temple, at which point he began to curse himself again.

What's going on? How can you be so sentimental today?

In the hallway, Demos hesitated for a moment before the fork in the road that now led to the dormitory and the chamber. Eventually, he made his way to the underground chamber.

Located underground, this not-so-spacious square room in the Dark Temple has a more literary name, the "Twilight Pavilion", and is usually a place where Demos and Kali secretly discuss the affairs of the Dark Clan, as well as spend time alone and meditatively. But a few months ago, a mysterious new member of the temple arrived, and the Pavilion was occupied by it alone.

Skirting the carved stone pillars and the fringed draperies, Demos walked to the center of the room and sat down on a stone chair at a marble round table.

The thing on the table was the mysterious member who had been in the Pavilion for a long time. After staring at it for more than a minute, Demos raised his hand to remove the black cloth that covered it.

A round crystal ball held up by a twisted wire gold frame made a grand appearance. Inside the sphere, a blue diamond-shaped gem is confined. It floats in the world inside the sphere, slowly turning in a graceful posture like a sleeping and silent beauty.

Although its body was the size of a palm, it was overflowing with pure blue fire, breaking through the outer wall of the crystal sphere at the moment when the black cloth was removed, and impregnating Demos's eyes. The light shimmered and flowed as the jewel turned, like the chaotic heart of Demos!

The entrance to the Pavilion flickered in the shadows, and Cali walked in in a dark red evening gown and sat across from Demos.

"Why didn't you tell the servants to spread the news of your return to the Dark Temple?"

Kali asked in a low voice, the internal wounds from the spell attack had not healed, and the slightest increase in her voice would hurt her chest and ribs.

"I don't want to disturb you, shouldn't you recuperate?"

Demos replied in a non-pointed manner, never raising his eyes at her ugly sick face.

By now, Cali has understood that he has to accept the undeniable fact that the "Helen assassination incident" created by her has eroded Demos's trust in her one after another. A strong barrier lay between their siblings, and she seemed powerless to break it, to grasp Demos's heart.

However, there was one more worrying thing for Cali than that, no, the exact adjective should be "fear", and one thing that made her feel more terrified than she had ever felt was that after the reunion with Carreta in the human world, Demos himself seemed to have undergone some significant changes.

After meeting Carrette again, a melancholy expression gradually appeared on Demos's cold and unruly face; after meeting her again, he began to get used to sitting and meditating for a long time; it was also after meeting her again that estrangement and contradictions frequently appeared between Demos and Kali——

"I know you're blaming me, but have you thought about it, am I just doing it for myself? When you sit on the throne of the gods of all gods, Kareta will naturally obey you!"

Cali was the first to speak to break the boredom, she was used to it. The few disagreements with Demos were mostly due to her strategic concessions, but since Carret's appearance, she has noticed that the number of these disagreements has increased significantly!

"It's useless, can't you see from the time the prince's amnesia until Helen's affair is over? If I usurped her father's rights by dishonorable means, she and I could only become enemies. ”

"It turns out that you are afraid of becoming enemies with her... You care so much......"

Cali burst into laughter, pale laughter.

"Why can't you understand my painstaking efforts? Do you want to follow the example of the King of Troy, who ruined the future of the Dark Clan because of a mistake in his thoughts! Kareta is an ominous woman like Helen, and I can't stand by while she pulls you into the abyss...... Ahem......"

Feeling extremely agitated, Cali's body was a little overwhelmed, and she hid her mouth for a long cough.

"Sister, please remember my words before you go back to the palace to rest. As long as I, Demos, remain, I will eliminate any humans or gods who want to touch Kareta as enemies. If Kareta really deserves to die, she has the right to kill her with her own hands - only me!"

Demos stood up after his decisive words, leaving no time for Cali to fight back.

Cali had already heard it. As Demos turned to leave, she grabbed the black cloth and covered the crystal ball.

The light was extinguished, and the impermeable space in the Pavilion was once again swallowed up by the dark color. Cali's voice echoed in the oppressive color, clear yet cold, utterly destroying Demos's hopes.

"Don't forget who you really are! You are the god of darkness, and only darkness is your final destination. Even if the light can illuminate your heart, it will never change your fate—"
