Chapter 79 - Chapter 81: The Deal! Devil's Island! Revive, My...

Honestly.

Even Prometheus, as the God of Wisdom, couldn't understand.

Where exactly did Persephone's confidence come from?

This confidence seemed too strong.

Regarding everything, she had a completely indifferent attitude - she simply didn't care at all.

It could be said!

The moment Persephone became God King, she was destined to stand in opposition to Apollo.

This wasn't a fight you could avoid just by not wanting to fight.

One mountain cannot contain two tigers, unless one male and one female.

Sorry!

This principle was impossible for God Kings.

Wouldn't it be great if I killed you and monopolized all the benefits?

This was the battle between God Kings.

It could be said.

For God Kings, there was no such thing as showing mercy. Basically, it was underhanded tactics and ruthless moves.

Regarding Persephone, Prometheus could see that she seemed to fundamentally not care about any of this.

"What exactly is hidden behind her..."

"Or rather..."

Prometheus thought briefly but didn't think deeply, quietly saying: "And in Zeus's hands, he possesses God-Slaying Thunder, the same as God-Slaying Power - that was power created by the Twelve Titan Gods that only the Thunder God could master."

"Now."

"Zeus has mastered this divine power. In the former War of the Three God Kings, he defeated Hades and Poseidon and even defeated and sealed Cronus."

"..."

Persephone just quietly looked at Prometheus, as if she didn't care much about everything he said.

God-Slaying Power.

God-Slaying Thunder.

Undeniably.

These were like anti-divine Noble Phantasms from the Fate world - targeting gods, they could unleash extremely terrifying power.

However!

For Persephone, as long as her divine power improved fast enough, or her divine rank was high enough, then everything would be meaningless.

"I possess God-Slaying Fire in my hands."

"I can provide this method."

"I hope we can make a deal."

Prometheus could only bring out his trump card. He knew that continuing would be meaningless.

Persephone wouldn't be interested.

"Besides that."

Prometheus continued: "Regarding various systems, I have deeper paths - things I gradually researched while sealed. I can provide them."

Persephone said calmly: "Let's hear it, Prometheus. What deal do you want to make?"

Fire of Civilization.

God-Slaying Fire.

Higher-level system compendiums.

These three trades.

Were enough for Persephone to listen to what Prometheus's deal actually was.

"Huff~~~"

Hearing Persephone's words, Prometheus also exhaled imperceptibly. Finally, he had the qualification to continue communicating.

"I hope to release the Twelve Titan Gods."

"However."

"With my current divine power, I cannot do this, nor can I continue."

Prometheus stated his request.

"Release the Twelve Titan Gods..."

Persephone said thoughtfully: "You hope to use the chaos brought by the Twelve Titan Gods' release to help Athena step into God King rank and free Metis. It seems Metis indeed hasn't died."

Persephone instantly guessed much.

Prometheus neither denied nor confirmed, quietly saying: "Lord of the Underworld, how about it?"

Persephone seemed to hesitate slightly: "Fine, this deal has no problems. However, let's set the time for three years from now."

"Three years from now..."

Prometheus thought briefly and roughly guessed the other party's thinking.

The other party planned to wait until this Holy War ended.

After obtaining this earth divine object?

However!

These.

Weren't things Prometheus needed to consider. For him, as long as Persephone agreed, that was enough.

"Good."

"Then, Lord of the Underworld."

"Let's set everything for three years from now."

"Before that..."

Prometheus raised his hand, and two masses of light appeared: "The Fire of Civilization and system compendium - I can give them to you."

Persephone said calmly: "Prometheus, you have no right to choose. You can only choose to agree or stop here."

"I understand."

Prometheus didn't hesitate and quietly nodded, then brought out a third mass of light.

These words were exactly as Persephone said - he had no choice.

Facing a God King, he fundamentally had no qualification to haggle.

Prometheus had no choice.

Afterward.

Prometheus left everything and departed.

"Hmm~~~"

Persephone obtained everything and examined it briefly, saying thoughtfully: "The Fire of Civilization's transformation is quite simple, and the system compendium is also very good. As for the final God-Slaying Fire?"

"Sora, this requires large amounts of divine objects and special divine power. For now."

"We cannot birth God-Slaying Fire."

Persephone shook her head as Sora's figure emerged from the darkness.

"Your Majesty!"

Albedo bowed.

Sora nodded, raised his hand to let Albedo stand, and said: "Since there's no problem, just send the system compendium into the Dark World Tree later. As for the Fire of Civilization's transformation, is this troublesome for you?"

"Not troublesome - mother can handle it well."

Persephone smiled slightly. Her mother was about to completely transform into a completely uninhibited waste - better to find her something to do.

"Good."

Sora nodded. Regarding Persephone's little schemes, he didn't expose them but smiled: "However, since we've left the Dark World Tree, let's go out for a walk. The ocean trip from last time hasn't ended - let's continue."

"Good."

Persephone naturally had no objections. After arranging everything, she also stood up.

Sora turned: "Albedo, you come along too."

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Albedo looked at Sora joyfully, eyes full of excitement.

Sora smiled and shook his head, bringing Persephone and Albedo as they left Hades Castle.

From Hades Castle to Death Queen Island, walking slowly toward the distance.

This outing.

Had no clear destination.

Just!

Since the ocean tourism hadn't ended, they came out to look around.

In Elysium.

Demeter looked at the work her daughter had arranged for her quite helplessly. Really! Her own daughter - she'd already retired, shouldn't she now just do nothing and enjoy life every day?

She was already very tired every day, yet still being assigned work?

Demeter was helpless but could only start busying herself. No choice - this kind of thing couldn't be entrusted to others. Besides Sora and her daughter, only she could handle it.

And they'd already gone traveling, so she could only handle it herself.

On the ocean!

Sora brought the two women to play casually.

Sometimes.

Encountering some beautiful island, they'd stay to look or play for a while.

Worth mentioning!

During this time, besides Fairy Island and Death Queen Island...

Sora, Persephone, and Albedo encountered three more islands belonging to the Sanctuary. These islands were originally used to nurture Cloths.

Now?

All were taken by Sora. Since they were good islands, he'd keep them.

Eagle Island.

Legend's Ship Island.

Water Light Island.

These three islands had once nurtured Silver and Bronze Cloths.

For example, Eagle Island - in the past, the Aquila Silver Cloth and Columba Bronze Cloth were nurtured on this island.

Legend's Ship Island nurtured Vela, Carina, and Puppis.

As for the final Water Light Island.

This island contained rich water divine power. Sora hadn't discovered what Cloth this island was used to nurture.

In any case.

Since it belonged to the Sanctuary, he'd take it.

Honestly!

These islands were really useless to Sora - not very meaningful. If he wanted, he could even create them.

But as they say, some things felt better when robbed from others. If they were his own, that would be boring.

Time passed quickly.

A month passed in a flash.

And!

When the three had traveled enough and were preparing to return.

Sora looked thoughtfully at an island in the distance that was almost entirely black and said interestingly: "On that island, there seems to be an unwilling soul."

"Devil's Island!"

Albedo explained timely: "Your Majesty, that's the name of this island."

"Previously."

"Like Death Queen Island, this island was used to exile Saints who violated rules. This island also once had some Ghost Saints."

"However."

"Those Ghost Saints have already died."

Albedo was fluent with such intelligence. In her view, as head butler, if she couldn't know all this, that would be too embarrassing.

Omniscient, omnipotent, elegant and proper butler.

This was Albedo's goal.

"Devil's Island..."

Sora considered thoughtfully and said interestingly: "Perfect, let's go take a look. This soul full of unwillingness - I probably can guess who it is."

Sora had already guessed who this person was.

Esther!

Ophiuchus Silver Saint: Shaina.

Her sister.

Esther had good talent and had already mastered sixth sense Cosmo at a young age. With proper training, becoming a Silver Saint would be no problem.

Unfortunately.

Esther's arrogance affected her.

As the Sanctuary managed the earth.

During her training, Esther had forcibly eliminated troublesome ships.

Then...

No matter what, the Sanctuary nominally protected justice and peace.

This was absolutely not allowed.

The result needn't be mentioned.

Esther was exiled to Devil's Island.

Later...

Esther formed the Ghost Saints and tried to steal Gold Cloths, but her subordinates failed one after another, and she was completely defeated.

In the original story, though it wasn't clearly stated whether Esther died.

From Shaina seeking revenge from Seiya, one could see.

Esther was one hundred percent dead.

Otherwise.

If someone was alive, what was there to avenge?

The three had already landed on Devil's Island.

"Such strong resentment and unwillingness."

Just landing on this island, Persephone had already sensed the unwillingness and resentment toward everything.

"This child is filled with unwillingness and resentment toward everything in life."

"This resentment supports this child's soul."

"Preventing her from entering the Underworld or Hades."

"However."

"This child has actually almost reached her limit. If this continues, this child's soul will only be completely corrupted by resentment and become a vengeful spirit."

Persephone spoke softly, describing Esther's situation.

Sora nodded: "Let's go in and see."

"Good."

The two women followed Sora's pace.

Soon.

The three arrived at Devil's Island's center.

Devil's Island!

It could be said this truly lived up to the name Devil's Island. This island was almost entirely black with some dark purple tones.

Besides that.

This island was almost barren, with only a castle-like building.

Sora walked along the path, surveying the surroundings, and said casually: "Persephone, let's also take this Devil's Island. I feel this island would be wasted staying here. If the Dark Cloths can break through their limits, using Devil's Island to nurture Dark Cloths would be good."

"Good."

Persephone was also indifferent. In her view, these were just toys. Since Sora liked them, everything was irrelevant.

Persephone's divine power gradually covered Devil's Island.

Regarding Devil's Island's situation, the Sanctuary naturally knew immediately, but what could they do knowing?

This was fundamentally unsolvable.

Only one woman whispered softly: "Esther..."

Of course.

Regarding these matters.

Sora didn't know and was too lazy to know. He said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, how has that little girl Jenny been recently?"

Among all of Sora's dependents.

Jenny's presence was almost the weakest. She basically just lived in Elysium, doing nothing.

Every day.

Besides cultivating her Cosmo, she rarely did anything else.

"For that child, her heart is actually very sad."

"She was abandoned by everything, and in the end, even her Cloth abandoned her."

Mentioning Jenny, Persephone also showed helplessness.

Persephone was very serious about every dependent, regardless of their status, treating and teaching them like a gentle big sister.

Every dependent's respect for Persephone wasn't just because of her status as Queen of the Underworld.

Sora shook his head: "For this child, let her cultivate by herself. When the Dark Cloths break through their limits, give her the Dark Chameleon Bronze Cloth. That child should be able to recover then."

Sora understood Jenny's situation. She was like someone who had closed herself off like a death warrior.

She could complete any mission, but reopening her heart wouldn't be easy.

The Chameleon Cloth's abandonment was almost the last straw that broke her. Now she needed to find a new support.

Sora was her support, her life, but couldn't open her closed heart.

"What about Marin?"

Sora asked.

Albedo said softly: "Your Majesty, Marin is imprisoned in Hell. She's not behaving. Should we?"

Albedo's meaning was clear - send Marin for a trip through Hell and she'd probably behave.

"Forget it."

Sora waved casually: "For Marin, the meaning isn't great either. Let her stay locked up. Besides! Hell can afford to support one person."

Regarding Marin.

After all, she was an original character he knew. His collecting habit made him want her to become his dependent.
