Greek Mythology: My Father is the God-King Zeus

Chapter 239 Persephone in Another World

Because this is Nyx's divine domain, and Hades is the god chosen by Nyx. Although Hades is not a threat, Nyx behind him is a huge threat.

So the half-body Dionysus secretly came to the palace of the Queen of the Underworld.

The moment Dionysus arrived, he stunned all the nymphs serving in the palace to ensure that no one would disturb his next actions. He walked silently through the long corridor to Persephone's palace.

The interior of the palace was lavishly decorated, and the walls were inlaid with brilliant gems, illuminating his path. Dionysus was a little curious, this was different from the palace in the memory that Perseveni gave him.

However, he did not forget his purpose. He came not to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the palace, but to find Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, and obtain important information about the world from her.

Then he appeared in front of Persephone. The black-haired Persephone was only surprised for a moment when she saw Dionysus appearing, and then calmed down. She looked at Dionysus with her black eyes and said, "Are you the god sent by my mother to find me?"

Persephone frowned slightly. She didn't seem to be expecting Dionysus' arrival, and even her voice was a little cold: "No, you are not sent by mother. I can feel the aura on your body, you are not From here.”

Dionysus' heart tightened, but he did not show any panic. He was fully aware of his situation at this moment, and he also knew that Persephone was not an easy character to deal with. He took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "You are right, I am not from here. But I came here to seek your help."

Persephone sneered, and there was a hint of disdain in her eyes: "Help me? How can you, a foreign god, help me?"

Persephone continued: "Do you know what I want? You thought this was my prison, but you didn't know that this is the holy land I want most!"

"However, as time goes by, my mother's love for me becomes more and more distorted, because her strength barely breaks through to medium divine power. Among the twelve gods, she is the weakest, so she is very afraid that I will make the same mistake again. , but I want to say that I am not afraid. Although I am just a little seed goddess, any god who wants to plot against me will lose his teeth."

"Holy Land?" He repeated Persephone's words, and then shook his head, "I don't understand what you mean. This is obviously Nyx's divine domain, a territory of darkness and death, how could it be in your heart? Where is the Holy Land?”

"Holy place?"

There was deep helplessness and sadness in her voice, which shocked Dionysus. He looked at the Queen of Hades in front of him, and an inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in his heart, as if he could feel the pain deep in her heart.

Dionysus listened quietly to Persephone's narration, with complex emotions welling up in his heart. He looked at the strong yet fragile goddess in front of him, as if he could feel the struggle and helplessness deep in her heart.

When Persephone heard Dionysus's answer, a bitter smile appeared on her lips: "Protect me? Do you really think so?"

When Dionysus heard Persephone's words, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. He frowned slightly and looked at the Queen in front of him, trying to read more information from her expression.

Although I don’t know what Demeter is like in this world, I think she is pretty much the same.

After speaking, Persephone stared into Dionysus's eyes.

Persephone did not answer Dionysus's words, but continued to ask: "Do you think my mother loves me?"

"When I was a child, my mother always took me with her and never let me leave her sight. She didn't allow me to play with other gods or contact the outside world. She told me that the outside world was full of dangers. and sinister, only staying by her side is the safest."

After speaking, Persephone raised her hand and looked at Dionysus with a happy face.

Dionysus replied without thinking: "Of course I love you. If you don't love her, why would she protect you?"

"However, I longed for freedom and explored the unknown world. So, I began to rebel against my mother's restraint. I tried to escape from her control and find a life of my own. However, every escape ended in failure. My mother always Be able to find me and bring me back to her.”

Persephone slowly raised her head and looked at the dome of the palace, as if recalling the past years. Her voice became low and sad: "You know, this was the place where my mother and I lived together. At that time, we were still mother and daughter who depended on each other."

Persephone took a deep breath and continued: "My mother, Demeter, is a very powerful goddess, but she is not as good as the other twelve gods. She is a very contradictory existence. "She wanted me to thrive but was afraid I would be hurt. So she became pathologically protective of me."

Dionysus couldn't help but feel shocked as he listened to Persephone's story. He couldn't imagine that a mother would be so pathologically protective of her daughter. This kind of protection not only deprived Persephone of her freedom, but also deprived her of the opportunity to contact the outside world.

Persephone continued: "My mother's protection of me became more and more strict, and she even began to limit my abilities. She did not allow me to use my powers, nor did she allow me to contact other gods. She locked me in In a small space, I am isolated from the outside world.”

"During that time, I felt extremely lonely and helpless. I couldn't communicate with the outside world, and I couldn't get help from other gods. I could only wait silently in this small space for my mother's return." Dionysus Listening to Persephone's story, my heart was filled with sympathy and pity. He looked at the bound goddess in front of him and seemed to see his own shadow. He has also experienced loneliness and helplessness, and has also been restrained in a small space.

Persephone continued: "Later, because I didn't perform my priestly duties, I suffered backlash, so my mother personally took me to perform my priestly duties. When we arrived on the earth, the naughty little Eros shot an arrow at Hades. The first goddess Hades saw was me, and luckily, my mother was not by my side, so Hades took me back to the underworld."

"Hades took good care of me during my days in the underworld. He did not restrain me like a mother, but gave me enough freedom and space. He taught me how to manage the affairs of the underworld and how to deal with death and darkness. The power. Under his guidance, I gradually grew into an independent and powerful goddess."

"During that time, I felt extremely happy and satisfied. Hades was not only my guide, but also my friend and partner. We managed the underworld together, giving this dark world a ray of warmth and light."

However, the good times did not last long. Persephone's voice suddenly became low and sad: "After my mother found out about me and Hades, she rushed into the underworld angrily and asked Hades to hand me over. Hades refused my mother's request. He resolutely protected me from any harm."

"So, a war broke out in the underworld. Mother and Hades fought fiercely. Their powers intertwined and collided in the underworld, making the entire dark world tremble."

Dionysus couldn't help but feel shocked as he listened to Persephone's narration. He could not imagine the horror of that battle, nor could he imagine the struggle and pain Persephone went through in that battle.

"Then my mother failed. She left the underworld unwillingly and seemed to want to take me away." Persephone looked sadly at the exit of the underworld, where Hades and Demeter were fighting. The place.

Then Persephone continued: "After that, I thought Hades would treat me like other male gods, treating me as an object, but he didn't, he respected me, even though Hades was not handsome, even He is mediocre, but he is the most handsome in my heart."

Persephone took a deep breath, as if she wanted to pour out all the emotions hidden in her heart: "Hades, he is different from other gods, he has unique charm and temperament. His eyes are deep And firm, as if he can see through all hypocrisy and lies. His behavior is calm and elegant, and he can remain calm and rational no matter what difficulties and challenges he faces."

"He is not only a powerful god, but also a partner with deep emotions and a sense of responsibility. His meticulous care and concern for me made me feel unprecedented warmth and security. He knows what I need, He respects my choices and decisions and he never forces me to do anything I don’t want to do.”

"He shared his joys and sorrows with me, and he let me know that he needed me as much as I needed him. We supported each other and faced life's challenges and difficulties together. He made me understand that true love is not about possession and control, but understanding and support.”

Dionysus listened quietly to Persephone's praise of Hades, and couldn't help but feel shocked. Sister, do you really not know how you came to the underworld? You were robbed, and your love brain is hopeless.

Persephone continued: "You know, Dionysus, I once thought that I would always live under the control of my mother and never be able to escape her bondage. But the appearance of Hades gave me hope. , he let me know that I could have my own life and I could pursue my dreams.”

"He did not limit my abilities and freedom like my mother did, but encouraged me to bravely face my own inner and outer challenges. He taught me how to use my own strength and wisdom to solve problems, and he let me know that I can Rely on yourself to create your own future.”

"With Hades' company, I gradually grew into an independent and powerful goddess. I am no longer afraid of the unknown and challenges, and I no longer need my mother's shelter and protection. I know that I can face all difficulties and challenges, Because I know Hades will always be by my side.”

Persephone continued: "After I came to the underworld, my divine power grew rapidly. I mastered the power of ice and snow. After I became the Queen of the Underworld, I became the master of all male souls. My power is everywhere at all times. I am growing stronger all the time, and I am now at the pinnacle of weak divine power. I am just one step away from having the same power as my mother."

Persephone gently closed her eyes, as if to immerse herself in that powerful memory. The temperature in the palace seemed to drop suddenly, and a cold and mysterious atmosphere filled the air. Dionysus felt a chill coming over him, but he did not interrupt Persephone, but waited quietly for her to continue speaking.

Persephone slowly opened her eyes, her pupils flashing with cold light, as if she wanted to freeze the whole world. She gently raised her hand, palm upward, and an invisible force surged out of her body, gradually condensing into a crystal clear snowflake.

The snowflake slowly fell under the control of Persephone and landed on the palace ground. In an instant, an icy cold air emitted from the snowflakes and quickly spread throughout the palace. The walls, floors, and furniture in the palace were covered with a thick layer of frost, making it seem like you were in a world of ice and snow.

Persephone continued: "After I became the Queen of Hades, I discovered the power of ice and snow that I possessed. This power allowed me to control another element besides death and darkness. I used this power to protect The underworld protects it from the intrusion and destruction of the outside world.”

"Afterwards, due to the emergence of the magical power of ice and snow, the seasons on the earth gradually began to change. They began to change from spring, summer, and autumn, and the winter that belonged to me was added, and the power of spring gradually belonged to me."

Persephone smiled slightly, her smile revealing confidence and pride. She continued: "Afterwards, Dionysus, because of the magical power of ice and snow that I mastered, the seasons on the earth began to have winter. And spring, the season full of vitality and hope, gradually belonged to me. This is what I am doing The changes brought about by the earth are also my protection of the underworld and the people I love.”

She looked up at the dome of the palace, as if she could see the changing seasons of the earth through there. "Whenever winter comes, the earth is covered with white snow, and everything becomes quiet and pure. That is the protective cover I put on the earth, allowing it to recuperate in the cold and wait for the arrival of spring."

Persephone continued: "And spring, that season full of life and vitality, gradually belongs to me. I use my divine power to awaken the sleeping earth, revive all things, and rejuvenate life. That is me My blessing to the earth is also my love for all life.”
