In the sky of Chaos, streams of light streaked across the sky from low above.

After leaving the mortal army camp, Aglaia did not stay there for long.

Flying all the way, bathed in the warm sunshine, she vaguely saw the shadow of a golden chariot passing by in the distance.

As if noticing her presence, Apollo, dressed in his best clothes, nodded in her direction.

"Greetings to you, Your Majesty Apollo."

She spoke softly and gave a big smile in response, using this to dispel some of the worries in her heart.

She then continued forward and flew back along the same path she had come.

I don't know how far I crossed, until the old site of the Holy Spring of Canassos came into sight, the goddess slowly slowed down.

The authority of the gods was mobilized, and the next moment, as an inexplicable sense of fear emerged from the surrounding environment, Aglaya, who had been prepared, blocked it in the bud.

She knew that this was a trace left by the mother tree's will, and it was also the location of the holy spring prepared by the goddess of youth for Hera.

Because the Queen of Heaven's authority collided with the source of corruption here, this place has left an indelible impact.

This power cannot reach the gods, but it can easily make non-divine beings perceive some forbidden images unconsciously.

As a result, the former holy place was completely abandoned and the ruins of the city were razed to the ground by Hera.

Even though all the evil things have been basically wiped out, and the holy spring has undergone some strange transformation in this environment, it cannot change the fact that this place is no longer habitable.

If it weren't for the purpose of finding Heber's whereabouts, even the Queen of Heaven might not be willing to get close to here... Pursing her lips slightly, Aglaya's eyes passed over the clear spring water.

If you just look at the appearance, this spring can truly be called a divine spring.

It is no longer a product of the authority of the Goddess of Youth, but possesses extraordinary power in itself.

Just through the clear and holy water, Aglaya seemed to see billions of corpses deposited beneath it.

Some of them are looking up and shouting, some are praying devoutly, and more are sleeping peacefully.

At the very center, there is a headless corpse floating in the air, like the king of all corpses.

"Don't worry, these are just some shadows."

"I have found some wild animals in the nearby wilderness and made them drink from this spring."

"And the final result is this. The evil creatures have been killed. They have been fully nourished by vitality, but there is no sign of transformation into evil creatures."

The voice came from behind Aglaia. Hera was wearing plain clothes without any decorative embellishment.

Looking at the sacred spring in the distance, she could also see her reflection in the water.

But compared to the former's nervousness, the queen has her own opinion on this.

"You should know that everything in the world is in the cycle of the world."

“From birth to death, all the matter and energy a life absorbs from the world while alive will be returned to all things at the moment of its death.”

"Just as corpses can be transformed into nutrients to nourish plants and soil, souls can return to the spirit world or the kingdom of God to release their final value... but evil things are different."

"Zeus once said that their existence itself is the pollution of the material world by the source of their power. Therefore, to eliminate evil creatures, we must completely erase everything they have left behind."

"For this reason, the gods chose to use their divine power to wear away stone...but the power of death is a completely different way of dealing with it."

"It specifically erases the immortality and pollution of evil things, and turns them back into a special kind of 'nutrient' that can be absorbed by all things and become their own 'earth power'."

“The Holy Spring of Karnassus…perhaps it has gained new life because of this.”

The last sentence carried a bit of uncertainty, because Hera felt that this might have something to do with herself.

Of course, it doesn’t matter what the reason is.

Because even if she thought there was nothing wrong with this holy spring, Hera would never bathe in it again.

After all, putting aside those creepy illusions, this spring water is just a pool of corpse water... As the queen of the divine court, she would not force herself just to see a special hot spring.

But then again, those human wizards who caused all this... Maybe Zeus also thought so when he angrily decided to destroy the bronze humans...

"...Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."

"…What's wrong with you?"

"Ok?"

Coming back to her senses, Hera looked at Aglaia beside her calmly.

"Nothing, I just received a prayer from a special believer, and she failed in something she was ordered to do by me - why, did I look very unhappy before?"

"Well... you just looked like the thunder and lightning of His Majesty the Divine King, sharp and majestic."

Bowing slightly, Aglaya gave a tactful compliment.

"..."

With a suitable smile, Hera did not take the other person's words to heart.

She knew that her expression just now was probably not very good.

Ever since the Golden Apple Garden was stolen, to Hebe being attacked, to Olympus being attacked...all these things, one after another, made the Queen of Heaven more and more angry.

Although she was angry, Hera never thought that she would have such a thought just now.

They are just some blasphemous wizards, not Bronze Age priests. How can they represent the entire human race?

I was so angry that I lost my mind. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the queen is, she shouldn't have such thoughts.

"Okay...tell me what you found."

"According to the information you gave me, have you found Heber's whereabouts?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is all thanks to the help of several wind gods."

Without dwelling on what Hera was thinking before, Aglaia tactfully changed the subject and returned to Heber.

However, the goddess did not take credit for herself, but truthfully recounted the contributions of several wind gods.

"After hearing your order, several wind gods spent a lot of effort...Finally, they locked down the whereabouts of the goddess of youth."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Her Highness Heber should be near the ruins of Mount Ouls... But perhaps because of the backlash from using divine power in the human world, her condition does not seem to be good. Not only does she no longer have the power of a god, she can't even maintain her demigod realm."

"And there seems to be no trace of human wizards beside Her Highness. She does not seem to be imprisoned there, but enjoys considerable freedom..."

"Mount Odile?"

He spoke in a low voice, and Hera was slightly stunned when she heard this familiar yet unfamiliar name.

It was actually there, and he was not forced to do it?

But the next moment, as the information in her mind converged, Hera's originally normal expression turned gloomy again.

Unconsciously, her hands clenched silently, as if she was trying to grab someone's shoulders.

Mount Odile... that's old news.

Hera didn't have much impression of the place, and she had never planned to go near it.

Not only her, but all her brothers and sisters are like this.

After all, apart from Zeus, their most common memory of that place was the dark imprisonment.

No one would be obsessed with painful memories, and Hera was no exception... But unfortunately, she remembered very clearly that not long ago, Zeus's incarnation who was stranded outside seemed to have done something there.

You know, normally, the Queen Mother cannot detect what the King of Gods wants to do.

But this time, probably because his real body was sealed in Asgard, Zeus's methods did not seem so covert, so Hera remembered it still clearly.

Although she knew it, considering the sealed body of the God King Zeus, Hera didn't think that he was doing anything shameful, so she didn't pay attention to it.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

If Hebe was there too... did Zeus know about it?

To say I don’t know seems a bit far-fetched.

But if he knew, why didn't he tell me the truth?

"..."

"I understand. I'll remember the Wind God's contribution, and so will you...I'll handle the rest of the matter myself."

"But please try not to spread this matter around."

Waving her hands gently, Hera took a deep breath.

The destructive desire that had been easily suppressed rose again, and was then forcefully suppressed by her once again.

In recent days, Hera did find that her mood swings were more intense, but it was obviously not enough to affect her judgment.

As a true god with great power, the Queen of Heaven is still sure of this.

"There is nothing for you to do here for now... Aglaya, go find your sisters."

"Don't pay attention to Zeus' orders. This war has not yet reached the point where the Graces need to take action."

"There is no need for the Olympian God Court to test the loyalty of every god in this way."

He waved his hands slowly and his figure soared into the sky.

Without saying anything to Aglaado, Hera identified the direction and flew straight to the west of the earth.

No matter what, now that she had received the news, she had to bring Hebe back first.

After all, a true god who had suffered the backlash of the laws was too dangerous in the human world. No one could guarantee that she would not be targeted again... Moreover, Hera had a bad premonition.

She didn't know whether Zeus knew the whereabouts of Hebe. If he knew... then for the goddess of youth, the dangers in the world would probably be far more than just some so-called wizards.
