锘匡豢Chapter 779: I Changed My Mind.
"I see... So it went as I expected," said Persephone.
"Yes. Nyx was with The Demon King’s group, but from what I could see, they’re not necessarily allies, but rather as if they’re pursuing a common goal," replied Thanatos.
Persephone remained silent for a few seconds as she thought, ’What is Nyx planning this time?’ She knew very well how manipulative The Primordial Gods could be.
She had been a victim of that manipulation once herself. Fortunately, Nyx’s attempt to manipulate her was completely futile due to Nyx’s lack of foresight, thinking that she wouldn’t gain much Power.
Upon receiving this report from Thanatos, she could only see that Nyx was manipulating this group in some way. But at the same time, she believed that this group wouldn’t be foolish enough to fall for Nyx’s tricks. After all, Aphrodite was there, and despite her dislike for the woman for various reasons, she knew very well that Aphrodite wasn’t stupid.
The Goddess of Beauty, desired by all, could be just as manipulative or even worse than The Primordial Gods. After all, she had her Charm to influence the minds of everyone. Thinking about it now, maybe it was Aphrodite who was manipulating the group?
Perhaps it would be an easy feat for Aphrodite. Few Beings had the ability to resist her Charm, and according to what she had heard from Thanatos, the current group didn’t possess that kind of ability.
’Maybe only Nyx has that capability, but it’s still debatable,’ Persephone thought.
Even The Second Progenitor was probably being controlled by her...
Persephone shook her head from side to side. ’Why am I caring again? He made it clear that he hated me. Whether he’s being controlled or not is his problem, not mine,’ she scoffed.
Whether it was Aphrodite or Nyx who was controlling this group, in the end, it didn’t matter. It was a fact that this group was quite dangerous, especially the Mortal, Scathach Scarlett. Just by hearing Thanatos’ description of her attack and the new biome that had formed on the horizon, she could grasp the magnitude of that woman’s strength.
And during that explanation, Persephone never imagined she would see a hint of fear in The Personification of Death itself. It was a small feeling, but it definitely existed there.
’If that attack had been infused with The Concept of END or The Concept of Soul that I wield... I would have lost a very competent subordinate.’ Persephone decided that she wouldn’t risk sending any other Beings to this group; it would be counterproductive. She chose to use a more subtle approach that had been discussed earlier with Hecate.
"MOTHER, YOU PIECE OF SHIT, I WILL KILL YOU!" Nemesis’s scream shattered the silent atmosphere along with a deafening explosion.
Thanatos and Persephone looked at each other for a long minute before sighing simultaneously.
"Can you take care of her this time?" Persephone asked.
