Chapter 60: Behind the Gods

Hekate sits in a dark palace, surrounded by extremely rare delicacies and a dazzling array of jewels.

She loves the dark and hates the light, a fetish that stems from some twisted psychopath, but from the severe psychological trauma caused by those experiences many years ago.

When the sun shone on her body, she couldn't help but feel like torture. This is not only psychological, but also physical, to be precise, she suffers from extremely severe ultraviolet allergies and some photosensitive skin diseases.

The multi-colored paint that covered the face required extremely complicated frying, and the preparation of raw materials was very cumbersome, but it was all necessary for Hekate.

On the one hand, these paints can cover her face and set off her majesty, and on the other hand, the ingredients contained in these particles can help her reduce the pain caused by skin diseases.

In addition to these two reasons, Hekat also had a deep hidden consideration, she must not reveal her appearance in front of the natives, although her opportunities to meet the natives have become less and less common over the years, if some omission causes some people who should not be seeing her to see her face, it may create some unwanted developments.

Ivana walked in and knelt down to tell her what was going on. Hekat looked at her, the child was her favorite daughter, she was loyal, intelligent, and ambitious.

It's not the first time she's met such people, but those in front of her always inevitably go down the wrong path, and gradually do whatever it takes to get the goal.

Hekat is not surprised that they made such a choice, after all, history is always written by the winners, and the process is always less important than the result.

But the problem is that in her territory, there can only be one winner. As a result, it was difficult for those people to stay in the village, and they were always stationed in the tribes outside, and were not qualified to stay with Hekate and become her right-hand men.

Therefore, Ivana, who is powerful and has superhuman perseverance, gets her attention after being observed by Hekate that she is quite principled compared to others.

Ivana did not fail her, becoming her right-hand man in all aspects, and in recent years, she has taken over almost all the work, which has made Hekate more relaxed and happy than ever.

It's great not to have to endure the disgust and murderous intent to see those natives even need to talk to them.

"I see, whatever he wants, but remember not to let that idiot appear in front of my eyes again." Hekat learns that Andy has taken Aridean, who was lucky enough not to be sent to feed snakes because the guards are addicted to games, and to be honest, she actually has a crush on the man, and after being inspired and sublimated by God, she learns more and more about the importance and beauty of knowledge and wisdom.

The man was always focused on telling stories that Hekate didn't know but was interested in.

At this time, he is actually quite attractive to Hekate..... For a moment, Hekat wanted him to stay with him until he got bored.

It's just a pity that he said something dangerous. Although there is a high probability that the ignorant and unbelievable natives will not understand, this is a possibility that will lead to negative effects.

Suddenly, a terrible tingling pain emerged from under Hecate's entire face. Her fingertips were embedded deep in the armrest.

Ivana immediately realized the problem she was experiencing from Hekate's sudden heavy gasps, so she immediately got up from the ground and walked to Hekate's side, helping Hekate, who was already difficult to open his eyes, to his feet, and the two-headed vipers burrowed out to make a deterrent movement, but with a wave of Hekate's hand, they retracted back into the cave under the throne test.

The two of them walked with difficulty to a hidden side hall at the back, where a large number of wooden barrels were placed, each containing different colors of medicinal powder, and a very large vanity mirror.

"Goddess, I'll help you change your dressing." Ivana opened a valve on the side, and water flowed out of it with a strange sheen, which came from a spring in the ground, and it contained trace amounts of radiation.

Hekate sat down in her chair and let Ivana wipe the paint off her face little by little with the water-soaked cotton cloth, and when all the colorful paint was gone, a somewhat ugly face emerged.

The face could almost be said to have been ravaged by the vicissitudes of life, and the long-term illness and the application of drugs destroyed her skin.

With her hands flying and almost out of sight, Ivana mixed the different colors of paint in a specific proportion, and then gently applied it from different positions, finally covering the whole face completely.

"It's done, Goddess." Hekate, who was finally relieved, slowly opened his eyes. The eerie color scheme bloomed on her face, and she looked suffocating in the mirror, which was exactly what she wanted.

Ivana stood silently, her head bowed from the mirror. Once upon a time, the work was very cumbersome, and Hecate's makeup had been invented by herself and had been replaced regularly on her own, after all, she didn't want anyone to see her face, even if it was actually unrecognizable.

However, as her illness worsened, she had to ask her close daughter Hekate to help her with this.

Due to the complexity of the proportioning and smearing techniques, many of Hecate's daughters were in a hurry at first, which of course led to frequent mistakes and Hecate's illness, which often led to her outbursts.

As a result, she would periodically secretly execute the daughter of Hecate, who was in charge of the matter, and declare to the others that it was because they could not bear to die because they had faced the gods, and this state of affairs did not stop until Ivana proved that she could do it alone.

The phantom pain still lingered all over his body, and Hekat pressed his face almost completely against the mirror to examine the details.

"My goal is not accomplished, you know what I am going to do, Ivana?" Ivana stood aside and shook her head with a smile.

"How dare I speculate on your thoughts, my mind is no more than a child's level compared to yours." Hekate distanced himself slightly from the mirror.

"One day, I'm going to sweep away all the garbage from this land and slaughter them all...... Then, I will destroy the disgusting legions once and for all, and if the people of the west dare to reach out here again, I will order my hounds to tear their throats apart... Until all is done, I will take all the elect to Heaven, where I deserve the kingdom of God, and where I will complete my final ascension! Ivana stood with her head bowed, she remained blind, deaf, and silent.

Hekat turned his head with a grim expression.

"Ivana?" She walked over slowly, and Ivana fell directly to her knees.

"How many are there left of the list I gave you?" Hekate's fierce gaze looked at the one kneeling at his feet

"Daughter", it is frightening to look at, and being with her for a long time is an extremely energy-consuming and dangerous errand, which is by no means something that anyone can bear.

"There is only one missing, but that person has been gone for a long time, and I am afraid that I will not find it in a short time." As she spoke, Ivana's eyes crept to the side of the wall, where the bones of those who had been severely tortured were embedded in the one wall covered with cloth, all from this list.

"Then find a reason to make his tribe disappear, remember, completely disappear." A cold voice came, and in an instant, hundreds of people were sentenced to death, and Ivana knew that it would not be long before another tribe would turn into smoke, and I don't know how many times this kind of thing had happened.

"Do as you ask, Goddess, and I'll arrange for the hounds to go there at once." ...................... Andy returns to the Santa Tower, where he tells Alidean to wait for him for a while and take him out of the place when he finishes the final touches.

Bridge doesn't know where he is now, he may have run away a long way, and if he were to walk back to Hoover Dam alone in this state, I'm afraid he would die if he didn't go far.

Soon, he saw Hekate again, and he was curious, Hekate's so-called

What exactly is meant by "witnessing"?

"Very well, I thought you might never return, and I'm not happy in that case." Hekate sat on her throne, and Andy could tell that she seemed to be in a bad mood not long ago.

"So, what do you need me to witness?" Andy is in a good mood now, with the help of the resources of Ouroboros Village, Hope will easily spread to all tribes, and those tribes that have no connection with Ouroboros Village do not need him to worry.... He plans to travel next to the Hoover Dam, where he will use the power of NcR to spread the fruit of hope.

Hekate pondered for a moment, and began to slowly tell a story that had been deliberately obscured.
