I, with my frail and sickly body, simultaneously traverse hundreds of worlds.

"If I said..." Hades paused, then continued, "if so, would you beg for mercy?"

“Then kill me. Destroy my decaying body, crush my sinful soul to atone for the lost dignity of the gods,” Bai Zhi said calmly.

He made the wrong choice and embarked on a path of no return. He had long been prepared to die, but it was a pity that he had not yet shared his divine blessings with the other Bai Zhi.

However, the first one to die can serve as an experiment for the others, to see if death will have an impact on the other Angelica. If the impact is not significant, everyone's actions will become completely radical and insane.

Life and death don't matter anymore, because there are other "me"s who will go on for them anyway.

“...Hey, I knew it, you and I are the most alike.” Hades released his grip, letting the chill of death invade Bai Zhi’s body, and said, “We both made the wrong choices, and we both stuck to our particular choices.”

It is only when you cry all your tears that you become a demon, a monster. It is precisely because you no longer want to cry that you become a demon. Neither you nor I have the right to cry.

I once imagined that when you die and return to the underworld, you would take control of this vast underworld for me, thus escaping Zeus's clutches. Alas, he couldn't wait, and the other gods didn't agree either, after you rejected me and forcibly removed my Queen of the Underworld from me.

My relationship with you has come to an end, and I'm very sorry.

Hades sighed, and the last sentence was a true reflection of the King of the Underworld's heart. If Persephone was his beloved, then Bai Zhi was the offspring he recognized.

Therefore, Hades ultimately granted Bai Zhi the blessing (curse) he desired.

"Destined death will refuse your arrival."

......

......

As expected, yet unexpected.

Bai Zhi got what she wanted, but at the same time lost the greatest help from the Lord of Gods in the final chapter.

In the event of Hades' marriage to Hades, Zeus, the king of the gods, naturally intervened, even though Zeus himself was not involved in the entire affair from beginning to end.

After all, sometimes having no outcome is also a strategy.

The Greek gods, the rulers of the land of Greece, and the gods and people who control the Greeks, are no longer in the golden age of humankind's ability to rebel against the gods. In the Iron Age, humans worship and make offerings to the gods. People like Bai Zhi who dare to rebel against the gods are extremely rare, not an exaggeration.

Everything originated from a great flood that destroyed the world. Zeus personally oversaw the development of humankind, thus forging this unbreakable third-generation Greek mythological worldview... if it weren't for the unique phenomenon of Angelica dahurica.

Therefore, Zeus stood by and watched as Demeter withered the earth, and the tragedy of desolation was born.

This severed Hades' divine connection with the gods once again, and Persephone firmly bound the King of the Underworld to the underworld.

It should be understood that when a strong person develops emotions, a strong person with a fatal weakness will only become a stubbornly weak person.

Zeus so effortlessly severed the ties between Demeter, Hades, and the gods, leaving Hades without the confidence to defy the king of the gods. This caused Demeter, who was kind-hearted but prone to acting on impulse, to submit to Zeus out of guilt.

A situation that kills three birds with one stone.

Zeus made a fortune.

Therefore, he didn't care about the two new divine blessings Bai Zhi received. After all, with the unconditional oath of the last divine blessing, Zeus's attitude towards Bai Zhi would only be one of fear, not a determination to kill.

The Chronicle of the Greek Gods and Their Sons: Chapter 153 Life and Death Destined by Fate

With his brown curly hair cascading beneath the brim of his winged hat, Hermes, the messenger of the gods, leaned against a giant tree by the pool, eyes closed in meditation, a bitter expression on his face as he awaited the arrival of someone.

The lush green forest, filled with the chirping of birds and animals, appeared vibrant and full of life, but in the next moment, it suddenly changed.

The dark, profound power of death abruptly corroded this space.

The once vibrant forest withered and turned pale due to the dissipation of death. The lush vegetation instantly turned into withered dust, and the green forest became useless remnants of life, until within a radius of ten meters, only a god stood waiting for someone.

"It's finally my turn," Hermes said, almost in tears.

The task was simply to help Zeus rescue Princess Io, a task similar to any other. Although it involved fighting the Argonaut, the hundred-eyed giant, the Argonaut was ultimately just a slightly well-known monster.

Hermes struggled, enduring the discomfort of impending death, and could easily defeat the two winged warriors opposite him.

They rescued Princess Io, who had been transformed into a white bull, concealed Hera's spying, and brought Zeus's lover to him.

Then you'll be free, able to play happily wherever you want, without having to think about the terrible consequences of offending other gods.

Hermes hadn't expected this.

He really didn't expect it.

It was just a momentary lapse in judgment; wanting to slack off, he delegated the task to Bai Zhi, also wanting to see what kind of show this interesting child would create.

What a show it was!

The promising child became the seed of extinction that destroyed the third generation of the pantheon.

The task that was about to be completed was inexplicably interrupted by Athena's interference, and Hermes's order was suddenly postponed, not just by one or two people.

Athena, Hera, Demeter, Hades.

Hermes was afraid. He feared that if he continued to hesitate and wait, it might be too late when Bai Zhi had received all eleven divine blessings.

At that time, putting aside what kind of blessing should be given, what if Zeus later asked him to make things difficult for Baizhi and gave her an impossible task? He would be in a real bind.

Hermes was unwilling to risk offending the first eleven gods.

The most important thing for a messenger is his credibility and his relationship with the other gods. Once that is broken, it will be difficult for Hermes to continue his dissolute life.

No! We have to get rid of this huge problem!

Hermes made his decision the next moment.

Just as Bai Zhi returned to reality from the underworld, a space corrupted by death, Hermes grabbed her arm.

In a dizzying moment, when Bai Zhi regained consciousness, the scene before her eyes was a fortress resembling the Tower of Babel reaching to the heavens.

"I knew it..."

Hermes's deafening groan reached her ears, his gaze upon Bai Zhi filled with pity.

"That madwoman Athena, in just a month or two, has turned the area where Imo was imprisoned into a hellish, blasphemous place of sin... She really went to great lengths to cultivate you."

The Tower of Babel, reaching to heaven, is, within the realm of mythology, a blasphemy of divine authority over human rights.

The gods reside high in the heavens, while humans crawl on the earth. This is one of the foundations of mythology.

One day, humanity will no longer be confined to the earth, but will attempt to ascend to the heavens and share the same power as the gods.

Humans began to build a tower, named the Tower of Babel. The Tower of Babel soared into the clouds, its top situated in the realm that belonged solely to the gods.

The gods, unwilling to share power, summoned thunder to cleave the Tower of Babel in two, making human resistance one of the gods' praises.

Like Liu Jiuyi, the Tower of Babel appeared before Hermes, but before discovering it, they hadn't received a single word of news.

Once humanity completes the monumental task of the Tower of Babel, the already crumbling foundations of Greek mythology will be on the verge of collapse.

Princess Io of the White Bull was discovered by Hera, but that was a minor incident.

Needless to say, Zeus would unleash an unbearable rage.

It has been revealed that Hermes invited Bai Zhi to participate in this blasphemous mission.

They'll definitely be implicated!

Fortunately, the Tower of Babel is not yet completed and will take some time to build.

If Hermes hadn't been worried about being cut in line again and suggested bringing Angelica along, it would have been too late by the time they realized something was wrong.

"Heh, I've been underestimated... It's been too long since I've taken a serious look. They've been treating me like an easy target. It's time to let the gods see the true power of Hermes."

Rolling up his sleeves, Hermes gripped the messenger's scepter tightly. He wanted Athena to know that the messenger's ability to traverse the Greek lands relied not only on superhuman speed and the ability to smash through obstacles, but also on speed bumps, which were also essential skills for the messenger.

“Wait, Lord Hermes, let me handle this. The craftsmen who built the Tower of Babel are innocent.”

Bai Zhi reached out and stopped Hermes. The construction workers coming and going in the Tower of Babel were the treasures of mankind. It was unknown how many countries had contributed to gathering these talents. He only knew that once they died, the human lineage would suffer a serious break.

Bai Zhi didn't care much about this, but since the matter was caused by him, he wouldn't choose to run away if he could do his best.

"To reiterate one last time, once Princess Io is rescued, the matter will be resolved, right?"

Before taking action, Bai Zhi asked a question, and Hermes pondered for a moment before replying:

"There are two reasons why this place is hidden from the sight of the gods. First, the divine power of Zeus and me was specially used to construct a hidden barrier to conceal Hera. Second, Athena, with the faith of mortals, constructed an array to reinforce and enhance the hidden barrier, upgrading it to a form that even I, its creator, do not recognize. However, as long as the divine power I bestowed is withdrawn, this hidden barrier can naturally be broken."

Of course, this is all predicated on rescuing Princess Io.

Hermes had no desire to have this huge, black pot placed on his head.

Having received an affirmative answer, Bai Zhi nodded and turned to head towards the Tower of Babel.

If possible, he didn't want to harm the people who had been tricked by Athena. To avoid causing a riot, he had to subdue them all in one fell swoop.

In the past, Bai Zhi might have tried to perform a highly precise coma surgery all by herself using her mental power.

Now, no more.

Hades and Demeter demonstrated it for him personally, using Bai Zhi's body as the testing ground.

As she walked, a pair of wings, shimmering with indigo on the left and embodying jet black on the right, unfurled from behind Bai Zhi.

Preordained death robbed everyone in the Tower of Babel of their life force.

Selfless abundance and equality bestow upon the dead the miracle of resurrection.

The instantaneous transformation between life and death is also a unique skill replicated by Bai Zhi.

An inherent boundary where abundance and death are intertwined.

[Life and death are both preordained by fate].

Within the domain's protective barrier.

"I am the sky."

The Book of the Greek Gods and Their Sons: Chapter 154 Zeus, King of the Gods

It turns out.

An army of mortals, a widely celebrated 'hero,' and a king who saved the kingdom from fire and water.

Having mastered divinity, his power transcended the boundary between humans and gods, reaching the absolute might of a demigod.

There is no way to fight back.

The specific combat process is simple and clear.

Bai Zhi activated her domain skill, causing all the monsters in the Tower of Babel to fall. Bai Zhi entered the Tower of Babel and brought out Princess Yi'e, the White Bull, who was then handed over to Hermes, thus concluding this long-running quest.

Argonaut, the hundred-eyed giant?

Bai Zhi mistook it for a roadside weed, and one look from it instantly killed it.

"Finally, we don't have to live in fear anymore." Hermes, holding the haggard white bull princess Io's hand, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and invited, "By the way, Jason, this is a rare opportunity. Before things get out of control, why don't you meet with Zeus and have a talk with him? Perhaps there'll be a chance to clear up the misunderstanding between you."

Hermes himself didn't believe the second half of his statement.

Bai Zhi wasn't that stupid.

The seed of the third and fourth generations of kings of the Greek pantheon.

It represents an iterative change in the mythological worldview.

Zeus and Bai Zhi were locked in a true life-or-death struggle; unless one of them was completely destroyed, the war would never end.

If it weren't for the fact that Bai Zhi is currently still in the budding seed stage, killing him would only encourage the birth of the next King of Gods.

Zeus had already taken action.

Bai Zhi pondered that at this point in time, he was still in the growth stage. Zeus would not attack him, but he would not protect him either. At most, he would monitor him. This was a rare opportunity for them to communicate. If they missed it, the next time they met would be a life-or-death battle between Bai Zhi and Zeus.

"I agree. Please introduce me to Lord Zeus."

"Um...are you serious?"

The unexpected answer made Hermes, who had made the suggestion, hesitate.

After a moment's hesitation, he used his divine power to reconnect with Zeus.

The next moment, a series of crackling and booming sounds erupted.

Amidst the blinding flashes of lightning, billowing, dark clouds, crackling with thunder, visibly began to gather, expand, multiply, and spread.

In the sky above, thick, ink-like clouds, heavy as if they were about to crush the earth, had in the blink of an eye stretched and covered most of the sky.

Within the clouds, countless thick and terrifying bolts of lightning surged and churned, exuding an aura of destruction.
