In the dirty earth where the snow melts and shoots sprout, a blonde girl follows a girl dressed in white.

They walked lightly through the soft, fresh, damp soil and walked through the land that had just ushered in spring.

The ankle-high snow has melted considerably.

Scattered snowflakes scattered across the vast expanse, and tender green spores emerged from the thin layers of snow.

It's like waking up after hibernation.

Persephone couldn't help but smile happily as he watched the flood of spring around him.

She was genuinely happy.

The thick scent of spring around her constantly poured into her nostrils, and this fresh and natural aroma made her feel refreshed.

Bathed in the warm spring sun, Persephone's steps rose lightly, as if there was no connection with the earth.

And the damp land she stepped on would be as if possessed by magic, and it would instantly come to life.

The black, damp earth began to churn gently as if it were alive.

In an instant, a brilliant and colorful flower cluster broke through the ground.

The delicate branches and leaves stretch out, tall and vibrant.

Even the lush grass poked its head out, bathed in the warm sunlight.

Erica always followed behind the Queen of the Underworld, witnessing the large fields of flowers and plants growing under her feet, and staring at the light back of the Queen of the Dead in amazement.

After Professor Victor freed the Queen, Erica regained control of her body.

And Erica also watched the whole process from the perspective of a bystander.

Feeling the spring that was constantly surging around her, Erica knew very well the joy of the moment after the underworld.

After all, anyone who knows that they are stuck in an endless snowfield for four months every year is going to be depressed.

Thinking of this, Erica felt understanding and sympathy for the Queen's initial resentment towards her.

And now seeing that the Queen of the Dead is so happy and cheerful, Erica can't help but mutter:

"It's a god, but it doesn't seem to be mature enough......"

It seems that God also has a variety of emotions that can be upset or angry at the actions of certain people.

After all, Erica had already witnessed the true face of several gods through her professor.

Hermes before it, and now Hades and Hades couples.

These gods are full of emotions, and their joys, sorrows, and sorrows are almost written on their faces.

In addition to this, Hermes also possessed extremely cunning scheming.

But there seems to be no other ability other than that snack machine.

After the battle in the royal capital, Hermes was even beaten by the professor to the point of a nervous breakdown.

And at this moment, the queen of the underworld does not look as intimidating as when she was sealed in the garden just now.

Her temperament is more like that of an innocent little girl.

It's just that no one knows how old this little girl lived.

And then there is the image of Hades, the king of Hades.

The thought of the name reminds Erica of Hades' blue-skinned and tall figure.

And the crimson walls and the golden forked spear tips.

Erica shook her head, trying to shake off the frightening images.

Seeing these gods with her own eyes made Erica feel that the image of the gods in her mind was a little broken.

At this moment, Professor Victor's calm voice sounded in her head:

"There is no need to deify them too much, God is not invincible."

"They are called gods only because of their eternal life, and the honorific titles that arise when they are worshipped."

That's why they are called 'gods.'"

Hearing this, Erica was in a trance.

This was evident when Professor Victor captured Hermes.

God is not invincible.

It was because of Hermes' reaction that when Erica first went to hell and learned that the object of the challenge was Hades, the king of Hades.

Although she was a little afraid, she did not feel the excessive reverence for the gods.

On the one hand, it was because of the empire's entrenched laws, which forbade the inhabitants to worship the gods.

On the other hand, even a real god has been captured by Professor Victor, and she has nothing to fear.

Thinking so, Erica silently asked Victor:

"So...... Does God also die? ”

She was curious about the question.

Although the gods are immortal, according to Professor Victor, the gods are not invincible.

Doesn't that mean that the gods have a chance to be killed?

In this way, they may be no different from humans?

Hearing Erica's question, Victor also responded in his heart:

"No, it won't."

Erica nodded unsurprised, after all, if gods really died casually, then they were not worthy of being called gods.

But at the same time, an inexplicable disappointment rose in her heart.

Even Professor Victor said that gods don't die, and it seems that he can't fully deal with gods.

So, if the Immortal is really determined not to let the professor go, how can they leave the underworld?

Thinking of this, Erica's brows tightened, and her heart was filled with strong worry.

"But you can kill."

This sentence shook her heart, as if her heart had stopped beating for half a beat.

Teach him...... What does the professor say about him?

Won't die, but can be killed?

She walked on the damp and fluffy soil as she gazed at the back of the queen in a long white dress.

The heart in her chest was beating rapidly, and a strong feeling of apprehension filled her body.

Because what is in front of her is, after all, a true God.

Erica's steps involuntarily lightened.

As she walked through the thin layer of snow, her heart seemed to be clenched tightly for fear of making any sound.

She was a little scared, worried that her inner communication with Professor Victor would be overheard.

If their conversation was overheard by the god, would she be furious about it?

After all, this is a matter of life and death for the gods.

But the firmness and fearlessness with which Professor Victor uttered these words always echoed in Erica's mind.

Confident, determined, and fearless.

It seems that he doesn't take these gods into account at all.

This made Erica relax and her steps lighter.

At this time, the one-eyed Vega stood on Erica's shoulder.

Looking at her anxious and excited look, I couldn't help but squint my eyes and communicate with Victor in my heart:

"Did you scare her?"

Victor was silent for a moment.

He originally wanted to add a few words, such as how many times he had killed the gods.

But if this is really said, it may be too shocking for a "local" like Erica.

After all, they grew up listening to mythological stories.

The sublime image of the gods has long been deeply imprinted in their hearts.

Not everyone is as devoid of reverence as Victor is for these conceptualized sublime things.

Victor pondered in his mind.

In the game, the names of each deity coincide with real-world myths, and even have very similar relationships.

For example, the relationship between Hades and the underworld.

It was not clear to him whether this was deliberately designed.

When the player enters the game, every deity they encounter corresponds to the gods of ancient mythology in reality.

In the game, the names of the gods are all real-life mythological names, and Victor naturally doesn't have much reverence for them.

Not to mention, he has already defeated them more than once.

But these things, even if he told Erica, it was useless.

"Forget it, there's enough impact on Erica today."

Victor thought to himself, and quietly closed his mouth, feeling Erica's mixed emotions.

In the end, Erica followed the queen with apprehension and anticipation.

Together, the two walked to the edge of this vast land.

Standing on the shore, she closed her eyes, stretched out her arms, and took a deep breath of the fresh spring air.

The fresh scent made her feel refreshed.

The excitement and joy in my heart gradually calmed down under the slight movement of this spring breeze.

And before their eyes, beyond the edge of the earth, there was a river of dead silence that was deep to the extreme.

Seeing the scene in front of her gave Erica goosebumps all over her body.

She remembers, when boarding that transparent hull.

The countless painful and frenzied souls under the River Styx left a deep and indelible impression on her.

The deep, dead river is very disconnected from the flower-covered earth.

At this time, the queen slowly lowered her arms and folded her hands on her lower abdomen.

The smile on his face was also lowered slightly, becoming more stable and dignified.

She looked at the River Styx, and said softly to Erica:

"The River Styx is a river that the living are never allowed to tread, and you should have realized that when you came to me by boat."

This is for Erica.

Erica listened, the apprehension in her heart gradually dissipated, and nodded ignorantly.

She remembers that when she first got on the boat, Professor Victor told her many rules, such as not to make a sound on the boat and not to turn back after leaving the ship.

These actions are all aimed at deceiving the boatman into believing that the passenger is just a dead person heading to the depths of hell.

"Relying on this kind of exploitation, it is indeed possible for Charon to take you across the river."

"But in any case, you can't reach the deepest part of the underworld, Tartarus."

After hearing this, Erica seemed to suddenly realize, and asked softly behind the queen of the underworld:

"Because I'm the living?"

"That's right."

Persephone nodded, then held out a finger to the golden branch in Erica's hand, and explained:

"But as long as you have this, you will be able to enter Hades as a living person."

Erica lowered her head and stared at the branches that shimmered with a warm golden light in her hands, and suddenly a smug snort rang out in her ears.

She looked up at the sound and saw Persephone standing there, his hands on his hips, leaning back slightly, smiling confidently.

She said proudly:

"Because Charon will definitely take you to Hades for the sake of my face."

Erica blinked, looking at the Queen of Hades with some understanding.

Yes, after all, she is the queen of the underworld.

The status is prominent, only under one person.

Her face, of course, a boatman has to give.

At that moment, a thick and pale cloud of smoke suddenly rose from the river in front of them.

The smoke spread quickly and soon enveloped the entire river.

From the white smoke, a large figure with a long pole slowly emerged and slid towards the shore.

After all, with previous experience, Erica was mentally prepared this time.

She was not as frightened as she had been last time, and watched as the boatman approached the shore.

And just like last time, the boatman was stunned when he saw them.

Then he slowly opened his mouth with golden teeth and exhaled a deep wisp of white smoke.

Through the smoke of the smoke, the boatman looked at Erica, a faint flame burning in his hollow eyes.

As if wondering why it had pulled Erica again.

But soon, he turned his head stiffly, and his gaze fell on the body of the queen again.

Persephone looked very proud when he saw the boatman's gaze.

She gently hooked her arm and beckoned Erica:

"Alright, it's time for us to get on board."

But just as Persephone was about to step aboard the boat, the boatman suddenly picked up the golden oars.

It slammed down on the top of her head very quickly.

Nation!

This crisp sound is ethereal and clear.

In the blink of an eye, it spread throughout the River Styx and the spring-filled grasslands.

Erica was taken aback and looked at the queen with worried eyes.

She covered her head with her hands, and even had tears in the corners of her eyes because of the pain.

"Uh......h How so. ”

Even Erica was confused.

She raised her head again, staring sharply at the boatman opposite.

The skeleton boatman re-shackled the oars to the boat, and then, stretching his shriveled arm out of its bloated robes.

He stretched out three fingers to the queen of the underworld, signaling "three".

The queen rubbed her head, slowly raised her head, and looked at Charon's outstretched three fingers.

At this moment, her eyes widened, full of shock and disbelief:

"What!? You're going to have to charge me three gold coins to get on board? ”

"I'm !! the Queen"
