“…Let’s do it.”

After thinking for a long time, at a certain moment, Hera made up her mind.

Zeus's behavior was too much, and she couldn't tolerate Hebe being with this human.

Although as a guardian of marriage, actively destroying a marriage is not in line with her principles, the establishment of this relationship itself is based on deception and coercion.

Well, maybe my understanding of 'marriage' is not perfect enough.

It is not a contract, not an unchangeable vow, but a relationship that can be established and dissolved.

This is especially true for those marriages that have had problems since their inception... As Hera thought about it, a flash of enlightenment came to her mind.

Faintly, her intuition told her that this fleeting flash of inspiration might help the evolution of her power and allow her to get more deeply involved in human culture and beliefs.

The gods are very interested in this kind of thing.

But that's all for the future. What she has to do right now is undoubtedly more important.

wow...

He shook his robe gently and added the power of the Queen of Heaven to the invisibility helmet.

An invisible force spread out in an instant, and with the help of the same authority, even the warning set up by the incarnation of the God King did not produce any reaction.

Looking back in the direction of Olympus, Hera's eyes flickered slightly.

As expected, the other party was not prepared for the power of the Queen of Heaven... In this case, before Zeus's real body escapes, he might not be able to detect the movement here.

Is this a betrayal?

"Of course not. I'm just correcting the mistake you made by going beyond my reach, just like you did with those lovers in the past."

Hera whispered softly, her expression firm.

"The Queen of Heaven should also have her own rights. You once told me this yourself... Isn't it, Zeus?"

"You will understand me, right?"

No one responded, and it was impossible for anyone to respond.

Walking towards the buildings built along the river, Hera's goal was very clear.

At this moment, the human was not at home, and the Queen did not want to see him anyway.

She just wanted to take Hebe away, hide her somewhere no one knew, and leave a small hint to this human.

She really wanted to see if, one day, when Zeus suddenly discovered that the offspring he had worked so hard to raise were turning their swords against him, he would have more genuine emotions than when he saw the fate of those lovers.

……

In the evening, the sun sets.

The evening breeze blew across the river, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden glow on the water.

Carrying a century-old tree that was as big as an ordinary man's embrace on his shoulders and dragging the prey he had caught in his hands, Hercules returned along the same route to the home he had built.

The power in his body was locked tightly, and now the great hero had lost the power to overturn the rivers and seas.

But even so, he can still subdue tigers and leopards with his martial arts.

In addition, the aura of the great demon's relics was enough to disperse those creatures that possessed extraordinary powers. Hercules was like a fish in water near Mount Odilus.

If he wanted, he could live here peacefully forever... no one would disturb him and there would be no danger.

Sometimes, when the great hero was beside the goddess who had been banished to the mortal world, such thoughts did flash through his mind.

After all, the past is over. He has found his mother's whereabouts and has no power to resist the God-King. In this case, letting go of the past may not be a bad choice.

But every time this happened, Hercules would think of the other two promises he had made.

Even if you can extinguish your anger, you cannot take your promises to others lightly.

"And these seals."

“If you don’t address them, it’s all in vain.”

Looking inward, Hercules could feel that deep inside his body, his locked-up power was struggling all the time.

But in front of the power of the God-King, they are like drops of water on a reef, and it is unknown how long it will take to rust through a path.

Maybe a hundred years, maybe a thousand years, in any case it is a number longer than the great hero’s past life.

It was for this reason that Hercules, who was a little confused for a moment, chose to stay here and make his home here with an amnesiac god.

Tread...  

He shook his head and suppressed all the thoughts in his mind.

Not far from the great hero, the wooden house he built with his own hands was already in sight.

I subconsciously quickened my pace, and a hint of hidden expectation rose in my heart.

Perhaps it was because the backlash of the law was too powerful, and without the intervention of external forces, the amnesiac goddess has not yet recovered her memory.

Normally, the other party should have been waiting for him at the door by now... However, the next moment, Hercules' expression suddenly changed.

boom--

The huge tree was thrown to the ground aside, splashing up clouds of dust.

Rushing forward, the hero pushed open the gate of the courtyard.

But when I looked around, there was no one here.

"Hebe, are you there?"

wow-

Hercules pushed away the debris in front of him and called out loudly.

He saw no signs of fighting or destruction; there had clearly been no conflict here.

But the room was empty and there was no sign of any living creature.

"This is……"

After searching around the courtyard for a week, Hercules finally found a clue in a side room.

The kettle here was still warm, as if its owner had been using it not long ago, but as something unexpected happened, she disappeared from here.

"Gods, have they finally remembered Hebe's existence?"

Without panicking, the great hero made an easy judgment when he saw this scene.

He had thought about this day a long time ago. As the daughter of the Queen of Heaven, the goddess of youth had fallen to this point alone, which was very unnatural in itself.

Now she has returned, there is nothing wrong with that. Only by returning to the world of God can she regain her past memories... After a moment of silence, the great hero suppressed the emotions in his heart.

The god who came here might have discovered him, but he probably didn't take him seriously at all.

All in all, I was the only one here again... Turning silently, Hercules walked out of the room.

But at this moment, he seemed to notice something out of the corner of his eye.

"Ok?"

The hero paused for a moment, then raised his hand and held it in his palm.

He was sure that this was not something originally from this place.

It was a silver key with a pair of light golden wings on it.

There are fine patterns wrapped around it, and there is also a tiny text.

"【Remove the shackles of power... and break away from the kingdom's borders】?"

He read the text softly, and before he could try to understand it, a message came into the great hero's mind out of nowhere, leaving him stunned.

At the same time, in the corner of the house, the abandoned doll nodded slightly, with a sigh flashing in his eyes.

"Is it really like this... This is really unexpected..."

Unable to hide his surprise, the puppet was certain that the seal on Hercules would be removed ever since he found him again, it was just a matter of sooner or later.

But now seeing it being unraveled in this way was really beyond its expectations.

Even though it was just a key, it still needed a suitable place to be used, but that wasn't a problem at all.

Far from being a limitation, it is a beacon that guides the direction.
