"Enough with that, you're just afraid of the Underworld King and Queen of the Underworld holding you accountable. If you really cared so much for linoe, why didn't you send her back to her parents?"
Luo En snorted coldly as he tore through Hecate's emotional ploy and casually tossed a Gorgoneion Emblem to linoe standing behind him, instructing her faintly.
"Alright, linoe, take this to Arima Cave, you can now return to the Netherworld and reunite with the Underworld King and Queen of the Underworld."
Saying this, he didn't hesitate to open the barrier of the Sanctuary, sending linoe out.
At this mont, linoe, who had been transferred to the outskirts of the City of Athens, felt the full release of her divine power within her and glanced towards War God Mountain in the distance. Looking at the Gorgoneion Emblem in her hand, she pursed her lips thoughtfully.
One spoke sweet words yet always held her captive, using her as a hostage;
The other often spoke harshly, but after achieving his goal, didn't hesitate to grant her freedom, allowing her to reunite with her parents.
It was obvious who truly cared for her.
Once linoe had cleared her thoughts, she headed towards Arima Cave without looking back.
~~
At that very mont, Hecate, tied to a stone pillar, feeling rather depressed after failing to incite rebellion, couldn't help but grumble resentfully.
"You're really willing to let her go."
"As long as she's out of your hands or your influence, that's the best outco for . What's there to be willing or unwilling about? Isn't it better to do a favor by going with the flow?"
"That's why I say you're more suited to hold the Divine Office of [Conspiracy] than her."
"Just conspiracy? It seems you don't truly understand the human heart."
Luo En glanced at Hecate before him and shook his head lightly.
Emphasizing sches, concerned only with gains and losses, such [Conspiracy] can only wander the wilds in the night or live in the dim trenches, but using genuine feelings as a lubricant can cause it to morph, proudly striding under the sun.
Regarding her disciple's mockery, the original Goddess of Conspiracy just laughed it off without concern.
"Whether I understand the human heart is irrelevant, as long as I understand [that heart] within you."
As Hecate's silent lips moved, Luo En felt an intense heat in his chest, his heart thudded violently, and sothing in his chest seed to burst forth.
The Wheel of Hecate! The Twelve-Sided Die!
Even bound up like a rice dumpling, this woman was still able to exert influence on that part of Zagreus's divinity, using these two items.
Realizing the crux of the matter, Luo En's face turned pale, and he quickly backed away, trying to put so distance between them.
"Thinking of running now, isn't it a bit late?"
Teasing whispers echoed in the dark cave, and the triple-faced visage of the Goddess shattered the confinents of the shackled body, shrinking miles into inches, and in an instant collided into Luo En.
Deities possess nearly immortal bodies, while the Chief God wields an almost undying spirit.
Instantly, Luo En's world spun, plunged into chaos.
After a mont of disorientation, a familiar scene ca into view.
The parched earth was cracked, the sky cast in a chaotic yellow dullness, with ripples of water flowing above, a few withered trees like the arms of the dead stretched out from the soil, growing on the barren ground, several crows perched on the dark branches, preening their feathers.
In front, holding a lantern, veiled, wearing a long black dress with purple hair cascading over her shoulders, the road Goddess Hecate quietly stood at the crossroads, looking at him with interest for a mont like the beginning of a fateful encounter, gracefully extending her hand.
"Where will you run to this ti?"
anwhile, Luo En's face didn't show the fear of a dire predicant, but instead, a radiant smile erged.
"Run? Maybe it's you who should be running."
Imdiately after, Luo En shouted into the dull void, under Hecate's astonished gaze.
"She's coming, what are you all waiting for?!"
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
The next mont, the sky shattered like glass, ancient Giants, deford Divine Monsters, fierce Magic Beasts, towering Old Gods... one terrifying visage after another broke free from the chaos, roaring as they rushed towards their Prison Warden.
Instantly, Hecate's face went pale.
