The sanctuary was rapidly developing and improving, while Hades had returned to the Underworld. Outside, there was just a ray of Hades' soul. With the return of his soul, Hades slowly opened his eyes, looking calm and deep in thought.
"Husband!"
Persephone bowed slightly and said softly, "Did something happen?"
Hades replied indifferently, "Zeus' daughter Athena has been born, and she has transformed into the Earth Goddess."
"Earth Goddess?"
Persephone's expression was one of shock. She had never expected Athena could become an Earth Goddess. As a deity, she understood the significance of the Earth Mother Goddess and what it represented.
"Yes."
Hades nodded calmly, adding lightly, "As Athena, the Mother Goddess, her future growth can be described as the most eye-catching. As my terminator, such an opponent is truly exciting."
Persephone pondered for a moment, trying to grasp the implications. Athena was the deity destined to end her husband, which she found completely unacceptable. However, she knew that acting against Persephone wouldn't be an easy task.
"No need to be nervous."
"There's no need to rush."
"Persephone, fate is like this. It's a long road. If you transcend fate, you will naturally achieve everything. If you cannot transcend it, then even if you kill Athena now, fate will still gradually reclaim what it desires."
"Yes!"
Listening to Hades' words, Persephone bowed slightly to show her understanding and stepped back. Yet, she was troubled by the thought that if things continued like this, her own revival would be problematic.
"Older sister!"
"What's wrong?"
Yan Mo had just returned and noticed Persephone's distress, asking with curiosity.
Persephone shared Athena's situation with Yan Mo, saying softly, "Sister, I don't want Athena to grow into a massive threat, but my husband doesn't seem to worry about it at all."
"Hehehe"
Yan Mo smiled at Persephone's description, saying, "Sister, you're being too nervous. Relax a little, and you'll see that these matters are trivial. If that's the case, why stress so much?"
"This…"
"Older sister!"
"Your husband doesn't care, just like the Titan God King did back then. You must understand that both your husband and the Titan God King are aware of their destinies, and this knowledge has led to our current situation."
"Fate is predetermined. If you try to break it, everything becomes a joke. If you cannot break it, even if you kill Athena, she will simply be resurrected in another form. That's the arrangement of fate. Everything is meaningless unless you can break fate."
Yan Mo spoke with clarity and insight. She understood the history of the Titan God War and had gained a deep understanding after arriving in this world.
"Well!"
"Of course, I know!"
Persephone sighed lightly. "Because I understand this so well, I worry even more. Athena has appeared in my memories. I know how special she is."
Once she learned of everything that should occur in the future, Persephone had always regarded Athena with great importance, believing her to be a threat. Despite Athena being hidden under Gaia's influence, she never imagined that Athena would not only be born but also transform into the Earth Mother Goddess.
The significance of the Earth Mother Goddess was clear to all gods; it meant a smooth path to becoming a Primordial God. Since Athena had become the Earth Goddess, it seemed inevitable that she would become an enemy, and this realization weighed heavily on Persephone.
"Older sister!"
Yan Mo thought for a moment before saying, "Since you're worried, I have an idea."
With the power of the Underworld, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with Athena. However, within these 100,000 years, such actions were unacceptable; the time was too precious.
"Yes!"
Persephone nodded seriously. "This is what I've been considering. It's not difficult to eliminate Athena, but the energy required for such a task within 100,000 years is beyond our limits."
One hundred thousand years!
For the Underworld, these years were critically important. Complicated events had shaped the Underworld, and during this time, it was imperative to avoid all wars and maintain peace.
Hades needed these 100,000 years to take the final step in his plans.
This was crucial for Persephone and Yan Mo as well. As the queen and consort of the Underworld, they understood their husband's ambitions. Any disturbance during this time could lead to serious complications. Yet allowing Athena to grow unchecked was equally unacceptable.
"Sister"
Yan Mo exhaled a wisp of blue smoke from her pipe, a smile playing at her lips. "Athena has been born, but has her brother been born as well?"
"Bell!"
Persephone thought for a moment before responding seriously, "If there are no accidents, Bell has also been born."
In that instant, Persephone understood the implications. If Athena was the terminator born of Hades and Poseidon, then Bell was the natural terminator of Zeus. Zeus had attempted to prevent Bell's birth or had sealed him through special means.
It could be said that all these preparations had been made for this very reason. The existence of Bell would pose a significant threat to Zeus. If this was the case, then perhaps the Underworld's actions could be executed through indirect means.
