The Great Temple of the Track, Dodona.

The sky courtyard on the outer edge of the Grand Temple.

"I'm so glad to see you safe and sound, Lady Europa."

Standing in front of Europa is a mature blonde woman dressed in a gorgeous green dress, and if Europa's first impression is gentleness, her most obvious characteristic is love.

However, the huge scythe she held in her hand that was both like a scepter and a weapon added a bit of her majesty as a goddess.

"I also sensed what was happening on the west side of the city, but unfortunately due to Zeus's orders, all the true mechs could not take the initiative to meet the invaders without the permission of his oracle...... Don't be so reluctant next time, although you have fused some of the divine cores, but you are just a weak flower girl, you should be at the age of playing next to the flowers, if you are injured, Zeus will be so sad. ”

"I'm sorry, Master Demeter."

Europa's expression was a little more apologetic, she glanced at Red and the others who were following behind her as if they were traveling, looking leisurely and complacent, and sighed helplessly.

"I know I shouldn't have brought the intruders to you, but Kastor is in desperate need of your power to heal, and they won't let us go......"

"All said, don't care, beautiful Europa...... And it's nice to see kids from outside the Persona Zone. After all, although Zeus ordered us not to take the initiative, it would be another matter if the other party came to the door. ”

Demeter's gentle, fiery gaze fell on Red and his party—and finally landed on Red.

"However, daring to damage the Temple of Distraction is a very bad act, and the mother is very distressed to see this practice, and the child should listen to the mother's words, which is the most basic truth in the world."

Red shrugged his shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression.

"But sometimes, if the mother is old and confused, as a child, she should also be sober...... In order to prevent her from being fooled by anyone, this is also the duty of a child. ”

Hearing Red's words, Demeter's smile turned a little cold, and his gaze at Red became a little sharper.

"He's really a rebellious child, and it seems that he needs a strict education from his mother to correct his wrong character."

As Red and Demeter were arguing, Matthew lowered his voice in surprise.

"Mother, child? Could it be that Mr. Red is the ...... of the goddess Demeter?"

"I don't think that's what their conversation meant, Matthew. Demeter is talking about the concept of a mother in the Godhead, after all, she is the goddess of the earth and the harvest...... It's like the god Tiamat we met at the seventh anomaly. ”

Little Da Vinci pushed his glasses and whispered thoughtfully.

Demeter seemed to hear their conversation and turned his gaze to them.

"Really smart children, although you are the invaders of Olympus, but the earth gives birth to all life, the earth is the mother of all life, even if the child rebels against the mother, the mother's love is equal to the child."

I have to say that Demeter's maternal brilliance is indeed extremely warm, even if he knows that the other party is the enemy of the Persona Zone, but it still makes people instinctively let down their guard.

"Master Demeter...... Sorry to interrupt your conversation. ”

And just then, Pollux's voice rang out, and she knelt down in front of Demeter with her twin brother Kastor in her arms.

"My brother...... After being hurt by the invaders, he couldn't recover even with the power of the god core, so he could only pray for the power of the goddess Demeter. ”

Demeter's expression became serious, and as soon as she raised her hand, Kastor's body automatically floated and flew in front of her.

"Leave it to me, poor Pollux, the child who has inherited the blood of the great god Zeus, and this time I will save your brother without your sacrifice."

Then a green ball with a grid pattern appeared on her hand, and when Kastor was illuminated by the green light emitted by the ball, he could see that the bloody wound on his head was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It seems that this is the power of Demeter, which is extremely good even among the gods.

"Uhh......hh Pollux ......"

Finally, after a few minutes, Kastor let out a weak murmur, and his apparent injuries had recovered from all of his injuries.

But it's just appearances.

"Brother, that's great."

"Wait, don't come here, Porux...... Ahem. ”

Pollux was surprised and ran to Kastor's side, trying to help him up, but the latter suddenly pushed him away and pressed him to his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

And it was obviously not normal blood, for when the red liquid touched the plants on the lawn, the lush grass nourished by the power of Demeter immediately withered and blackened, and wisps of green smoke came out.

Demeter looked at Kastor, his expression becoming solemn.

"I'm sorry, Pollux. I wasn't able to treat it completely...... Even my power can only repair his existing injuries, not expel the foreign body from his body, and there is a violent energy that continues to damage his body. ”

Pollux's pupils narrowed, and she immediately knew who was responsible for this situation, and suddenly turned her head to look at Red.

"You guy—"

"Don't get me wrong."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Red waved his hand and said with a smile.

"To be precise, it's not that he's constantly damaging his body, it's that I'll only burn his spiritual base when I want to, such as this time."

Red snapped his fingers, and Kastor's expression immediately distorted, as he spat out a mouthful of blood again.

"Brother...... Brother....... Master Demeter, I beg you to ......"

Demeter sighed softly at Pollux's pleading gaze, and the ball in her center glowed again, enveloping Kastor completely, and the Gemini male god's breath calmed slightly.

"Of course, if I hadn't hurt him, he wouldn't have been hurt too badly...... Of course, the general situation here refers to when he is emotionally calm. ”

Red looked at Kastor with a defiant gaze, and the latter opened his eyes and was about to say something to him, but his expression was immediately contorted by pain.

"The power of the flesh that I diverted into his body will be affected by his emotions, I suggest you think more about happy things to calm your mind, the more you think about revenge on me, this anger will burn you in turn."

"Unexpectedly...... I actually treated my brother like this......"

Pollux drew his sword behind him and gritted his teeth to rush at Red, but was immediately stopped by Europa.

"Don't do that, if something happens to you, it will make Kastor even angrier...... It's going to make your brother even more miserable. ”

"I'm very sensitive to the situation, Lady Europa - yes, as long as you listen to me honestly, I'm not a devil, and it's almost as good as teaching him a lesson."

The tone of Red's speech, coupled with the moist and unwilling look in Pollux's eyes, made it seem like he was a villain.

Although for this anecdote, he is indeed in the position of a villain.

"Whatever the roots, now Dioscuri is my lovely family, and it is ...... for my brother to be so physically and mentally miserable for my sister."

At this moment, the temperature around him seemed to drop by a few degrees in an instant, and a mechanical wheel appeared behind Demeter and began to rotate slowly.

"You kid, you're really bad."

Airplanes.

The invisible oppressive force was directly imposed on Red and his party, not directly controlling gravity like Zeus, but using ultra-high concentration of magic to generate coercion.

"This overwhelming magical power...... It's worthy of the gods of the Persona Zone......"

Matthew even activated the Lingji exoskeleton Ortenus to defend against Demeter's coercive influence.

I have to say that even if they are both gods but there are huge differences in levels, Demeter, who retains the true mech, is only one level lower than Zeus in this Persona Zone, and the gap between her and Gemini may be even greater than the gap between humans and ants.

But even so, Red still had a relaxed smile on his face, and he didn't even take out his weapon.

"Are you going to do it, Demeter, though I don't mind accompanying you—but is it really possible, Zeus must have ordered you not to fight me, right?"

"I can't 'take the initiative' to fight you, kid. But in any case, the counterattack of self-defense takes precedence over all authority. ”

Seeing the earth goddess Demeter raise the scythe in her hand, Europa's face changed when she saw this scene.

"Wait, Master Demeter, don't-"

Bang dang!

However, Demeter's scythe had already been swung down.

But not in Red's direction, and it wasn't Red who was blocking her attack.

"Get out of the way, Pollux, it's an order."

Demeter's scythe came to a halt less than five centimeters from Kastor's neck, but not because of her mercy, but because Pollux barely parried Demeter's blow with his sword at the last moment.

"Why...... Goddess Demeter? ”

"This is, of course, to save your brother, poor Polux. Since the body of a god has been eroded by the power of the enemy, it is time to get rid of it completely—just as a diseased plant must be disposed of as soon as possible. ”

Red didn't seem surprised by Demeter's abrupt reversal from loving to ruthless, after all, he had known that the goddess of the earth and the harvest had two sides of creation and destruction.

Demeter raised his scythe again, this time with a dark green power wrapped around the blade of the scythe, and it was clear that the next attack would be something that Pollux could not stop.

"But don't worry, when Kastor dies, I will use my power to resurrect him, and you will be the perfect Dioscuri, the adorable Gemini star."

"Wait—"

Pollux looked desperately at Demeter's scythe, and in that moment she was like herself in pan-human history, and the only thing she could do in the face of her brother's death was to pray to her father.

Bang!

And in the next second, thunder was magnificent.

Bang!

Demeter took a few steps back, her scythe now visibly cracked and flashing with bright arcs.

Mjölnir flew back into Red's hands, having saved the lives of Kastor and Polux by bombarding Demeter's weapons with Thor's hammer.

Demeter looked at the crack in the scythe, and although he still had a smile on his face, the smile was even more terrifying with his incomparably cold gaze.

"You-took the initiative to attack?"

"After all, it's not in my interest to let you Olympus gods attrition for no reason. I'm here just to ask for your help finding Diana Prince......"

"You've taken the initiative to attack me."

Demeter didn't seem to hear Red's words, but simply repeated them like a repeater.

"You take the initiative to attack me, so that I am not bound by Zeus's orders - but I give you one last chance to remove the unknown energy from Castel's body, and I, as a broad-hearted mother, can forgive you for your mistakes."

The earth is gentle, inclusive, and nurturing to all things.

But also crazy, stubborn, and ruthless.

Demeter is the perfect embodiment of this duplicity – but that's why Red chose to let Europa bring him to her.

"Otherwise, Demeter, what are you going to do if I don't intend to back down?"

Red knew very well that although the Demeter in front of him was only a terminal, his own lamp ring could not directly affect her body.

But his words can.

"You're going to wipe me out right away—just like you did to Persephone."

Buzz – rumble.

As soon as Red's words fell, a low muffled sound came from the sky.

At the same time, there was also a huge sphere like the moon.

"You...... How dare I mention it, Persephone, my daughter...... I can't spare you......"

Demeter's body slowly flew into the air, and Europa hurriedly chased after him, raising his head and shouting.

"No, Lord Demeter, you can't fight with a true Mecha in the Great Temple of Orbit—"

"Don't worry, beautiful Europa, I'll try to break down only the target, and even if I accidentally hurt ......"

The icy voice sounded not from Demeter's mouth, but from a huge sphere overhead.

"With my power, I can quickly regenerate everything."

"Is this your true mech, goddess of the earth and harvest, Demeter...... Or rather, - an interstellar material production ship. ”

After seeing the appearance of the huge alien warship, the satisfied Red also drove the lantern ring into the sky.

"Anyway, I don't think I told you why I asked Europa to bring me here to find you, after all, I need you to summon the True Body Machine God before I can proceed to the next step...... Zeus said, I can search as much as I want in Olympus—"

"In this case, the inside of the Mekhan's battleship should also be within the scope of the search."

Of course, Red knew Diana couldn't be inside, but he wouldn't let go of such a good excuse.

"I'm coming in, Demeter."
