(Greek Mythology) The Abyss
Chapter Sixty-Eight
"Well done, little aunt! That's how you treat a scumbag!" Hermes bent over, clutching her stomach, laughing so hard she could barely breathe.
Aimiye glanced at Hermes but didn't say a word. She refused to talk to an idiot.
Back in the Abyss, Aimiye calmed down. Having spent so long in the well-behaved Underworld, Aimiye couldn't help but get angry after being offended. But after calming down, she regained her rationality and understood that this was quite normal in the Greek pantheon.
However, she made a decision—
Next time she encounters a god like that, she should just castrate them! —by Aimiye, whose sweet smile hides a dark side
After a while, Hermes finally stopped laughing, a lingering smile in her eyes.
"So, Auntie, are you still going out? There are quite a few gods like that out there."
More than just a few, it's practically a common phenomenon among the Greek gods. Even among the first generation of gods, with Gaia as a precedent for having lovers throughout the three realms, those lustful or power-hungry gods would definitely try every means to seduce Ai Miye.
While solving this would be easy, it's just too unpleasant. So, if she didn't want to rot away in the Underworld, where to go next was a very serious question, so serious that Ai Miye was starting to struggle with it.
However, no matter how much she struggled, Ai Miye wouldn't show it in front of Hemera. "You don't need to worry about that. Take care of yourself first."
Don't think she didn't know that Hemera, whose attribute panel showed "lively," "restless," and "overly curious," rarely left the Underworld, partly because she was afraid of getting lost, and largely due to this.
"But I'm not as pretty as my aunt." So while she had encountered similar situations before, it was never as frequent as Ai Miye's, at least not so lucky as to run into someone like Zeus on her first outing.
It was truly remarkable that Hemera could say this with such a smug tone.
"And I won't run away like some god."
Unlike Ai Miye's decisive and domineering approach to beating up a god, Hemera's reaction was always a polite refusal first, and then, predictably, after the refusal failed, she would simply turn and run. The contrast between the two gods was stark.
"Aunt, can you please stop bringing up my embarrassing moments?" Hemera declared, her dark past being an unbearable pain.
"I think you should be used to it by now." Ai Miye blinked, her expression utterly innocent.
Hemera, her fragile heart shattered by Ai Miye's finishing blow, glared at her aunt with a year's worth of blood.
No, I don't think I can get used to this.
After observing Hemera's expressive face, Ai Miye slightly turned her head, concealing the amusement in her eyes.
Her brother was right; teasing Hemera was indeed entertaining, and she enjoyed this form of entertainment.
"Weren't you going to Eris's? Why are you still lingering here?"
"No rush. Eris's been spending all her time in the temple making puppets lately, so I can go whenever I want," Hemera waved her hand dismissively.
"What kind of puppet does she want to make this time?" It sounded quite serious.
"I don't know," Hemera pouted, her tone dissatisfied. "Fine, if you won't tell me, I'll let you see it, but she won't allow it."
"How could that be? Isn't she always busy promoting her art?" Ai Miye was skeptical.
"Of course she will!! It's that puppet she said she was going to give to His Majesty, but she absolutely forbids me from seeing it. She even put up a protective barrier outside the room where the puppet is being made, making it look like she's guarding against thieves." Hemera complained indignantly.
"Oh, it's for my brother. What's so strange about that?" Ai Miye said dismissively.
Being a die-hard fan wasn't just a figure of speech. With Eris, anything related to Tartarus meant even parents had to take a backseat.
Hemera was well aware of this, but…
"Can't I complain a little?"
"Then complain all you want. I'm leaving. Also, please tell my brother I won't be returning to the Abyss for a while."
"Auntie's going out? Aren't you worried about being harassed again?"
"No." With those two words, Ai Miye got up and left without explanation, leaving Hemera standing there, full of confusion.
After thinking for a long time without figuring out where Ai Miye was going, Hemera gave up on torturing her brain. She had long since given up on the idea of keeping up with the thoughts of the gods around her. If she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't think about it. She'd rather go find Eris than waste time thinking about this. Oh, and she also needed to pass on a message to His Majesty for her aunt.
Ai Miya's outing wasn't to the Earth. Having directly observed the customs of non-underworld gods, she could already foresee the various scenes she might encounter there—abductions of men and women, public sex, and so on. Even if it didn't happen to her personally, just watching it was enough to make her uneasy.
She went out to have fun, and who wanted to encounter such a spoilsport when they were having the time of their day? To avoid accidentally killing them with her sword, the idea of wandering the Earth was best abandoned as soon as possible.
Then, at times like this, Ai Miya thought that her father's unreliability had its advantages. When Chaos took Ai Miya on her travels through various worlds, to prevent the tragedy of "having too much fun and losing his daughter," Chaos gave Ai Miya a considerable amount of his divine power crystals. This allowed Ai Miya to cross world barriers to find him.
Although she didn't have Chaos as a reference point, and didn't know which world she would be transported to, Amy knew the coordinates of her original world—Greek mythology. Since she was back, there was nothing to worry about.
Because the crystals were all disposable, Chaos had given her a lot at once to avoid trouble, and Amy still had plenty left, enough to keep her entertained for a long time.
Hmm, everything was in her alternate dimension, so she didn't need to prepare luggage. Hermes had also relayed a message to her brother; everything was ready, and she could simply drift off.
Thinking this, Amy crushed the crystal in her hand, feeling the familiar pulling sensation enveloping her, and then…
Father, you bastard!!!
Before being swallowed by the spacetime turbulence, Amy only had time to think of this one sentence before her consciousness plunged into darkness.
In an unknown world, sensing the crystal shattering, Chaos opened his eyes. It seemed Nicole had gotten bored and gone to play in another world. As long as it wasn't a top-level world, the divine power contained within the crystal was enough for her to pass through the world barrier. There were only a handful of top-level worlds; Nicole's luck probably wasn't that good.
After thinking this through, Chaos closed his eyes again, feeling at ease, and continued sleeping. He was now human and should maintain a normal routine.
No, I don't think any normal human would sleep for years. Father God, you've almost scared the real humans around you to death, you know that?
