Hermes felt as if he was in a black sea. He was adrift without knowing where or what really happened.
His mind doesn't work properly. So Hermes could only let himself drown in that black ocean for now.
Meanwhile, his body moves in the ruins of the palace building on Mount Olympus. He entered the tunnel where the prophecy was.
His eyes now look dark black like obsidian. His face was pale and from all over his body a thin black mist came out.
Hermes had never realized it before. But the essence of Destruction had entered his body as soon as he was surrounded by black monsters some time ago.
A few days ago, when Hermes had just returned from his travels, coincidentally the mind of Destruction was on Olympus. And he sees him who seems clueless, so Destruction doesn't waste this opportunity.
