Type-Moon, there are too many myths that defy the heavens!

"So simple?" Ash asked doubtfully. "According to what you said, I'd be adopted by Persephone by now, so shouldn't I have already been famous?"

"Oh, I see." Ash immediately reacted, "Greece isn't just a place where gods are everywhere and demigods are worse than dogs. It's also a place where every hero is related to a god. So, my deeds aren't worth mentioning, are they?"

【Yes. 】

[To gain popularity through birth, a child must either be blessed by the gods Zeus or Hera, or be a child who received a prophecy from the gods before birth, destined to become the protagonist of the story.]

"So, in other words, it would take at least a Hercules, Jason, or Oedipus-like opening to become popular?"

【Yes. 】

[In fact, even after becoming a hero, Hercules' blessing can also gain popularity.]

[For example, Ajax the Great, the hero of the Trojan War, was a child named after Hercules.]

"As expected of Greece's strongest and greatest hero, he's got everything he needs!" Ash grumbled, "It's a shame this is Type-Moon Greece, and only the sea is powerless."

[Host, don't worry. The heroic spirit Hercules may not be strong enough, but you can see a living Hercules now!] 1

[Don't you want to see what a living Hercules looks like?]

"Aren't you talking nonsense? I've traveled all the way to the Age of Gods Greece. If I don't see how powerful the number one Greek hero is, wouldn't it be a waste of time? The problem is that I have to have this opportunity!"

"What we need to solve most now is the problem of earning fame!" Ash urged, "System, please tell me quickly, is there any good way for me, a baby, to earn fame?"

【Of course there is. 】

Before his identity as the son of Zeus was revealed, Heracles had already accomplished remarkable feats: Hera had breastfed him without knowing his identity, so when his mother learned of this, she changed his name to Heracles (meaning Hera's glory) to seek Hera's forgiveness.

[Regardless of the outcome, this incident itself is enough to be passed down through generations.]

[Therefore, host, you are imitating Hercules and performing similar deeds.]

"No, buddy, I told you not to do dirty things, and you're giving me some dirty tricks, right?" Ash was speechless. "Why don't you change the name to the Bad Life System? I think it's quite suitable."

[It's not that I'm messing around, it's just that this kind of story is the most eye-catching and spreads the fastest.]

Even if it's a myth, it has to be grounded, right?

"Okay, okay, you're right." Ash then asked, "Then what down-to-earth work can I do now?"

[Host, look, isn't Persephone always wearing a veil? ]

[Regardless of why she wears the veil, at least it has enough meaning for her and the followers of Demeter.]

[For example, believers can believe that the Mistress of the Underworld does not like others to look directly at her face.]

[For example, this means that people in the world cannot look directly at the mistress of the underworld, nor can they look directly at death.]

[In short, her actions must have profound implications for believers and the world!]

"You mean..." Ash understood, "that I should tear off her veil when she leaves Demeter and her followers?"

【Yes. 】

"Isn't this offensive to her?" Ash complained. "And are you sure that if I pull off her veil, it won't bring death or something like you said?"

[Host, wake up... This is the Age of Gods Greece, not the Cthulhu Mythos.]

[Besides, host, you can pull Persephone's clothes and hold her hand without any problem, so why are you afraid of this?]

[She loves you so much that she wants to keep you by her side forever, so you can rest assured!]

[As long as you do this, I can guarantee that you can get at least 100 popularity points! ]

"Oh my god, so much?" Ash's eyes widened. "I only got 50 gold coins!"

[So, you agree?]

How can I not do this? I have to do this!

Even Persephone wants to tie me up, so what if I pull her veil?

It's time to get the gold coins from the underworld!

Chapter 9 is worthy of being the host, creating a new legend with ease!

While Ash was preparing to remove Persephone's veil and increase his fame, the mistress of the underworld also packed enough baby supplies and prepared to take care of the children in the underworld.

After making these preparations, Persephone couldn't wait to rush to the child's room and take the child to the territory under her management.

Unfortunately, she couldn't travel too fast on her return trip.

Because she is not alone. On the contrary, she has a nagging mother who is worried that she cannot raise her child well.

"Persephone, remember, it's normal for a child to walk between nine months and one and a half years old."

"The same is true for speaking. Some children speak earlier, perhaps saying simple words like 'Mom' around ten months old. But this doesn't mean that all children will speak so early, so it's not surprising even if a child speaks later."

"If he has any problems that you can't solve for the time being, you can go to the paradise of the underworld and ask for help from women who have raised children before."

"If it doesn't work, you can also ask Thanatos to contact me, and I will come to help you then."

"In short, the most important thing when raising children is not to be anxious. The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make the problem worse, which may cause secondary harm to the child."

"You must remember these things, okay?"

Listening to her mother's long and almost non-stop nagging, Persephone felt a little headache but not annoyed.

Ever since Persephone decided to take care of Ash four months ago, she has been keeping an eye on him.

At first, she thought that the cute child's courage to pull her clothes and hold her hand was just an accident.

Therefore, whenever she was able to be alone with the child, she would always try to hold his hand, trying to confirm his attitude towards her.

Although she would hesitate and delay every time she reached out her hand, and sometimes the child would fall asleep before she reached out her hand, as long as she reached out her hand, the child would always smile and hold her hand, warming her hands and heart.

Whenever Persephone received a response from her children, she couldn't help but think back to the days when she was the goddess of spring.

At that time, she and her mother were always in the countryside, giving life to the land, sowing seeds in the countryside, and sharing the joy of spring with people.

however.

"The world shouldn't have eternal spring, nor should it have only life without destruction."

At Hades's suggestion and the Father's judgment, her priesthood was no longer simply that of the goddess of spring, but also that of the mistress of the underworld.

Her long golden hair that once represented spring had turned into lifeless gray, and her golden eyes that once symbolized divinity were now dyed a bright red that reflected both terror and demonic power.

She will spend two-thirds of the rest of her life in the underworld, leaving only one-third to return to the human world.

But even if she could return to the human world, people would no longer look upon her with pure respect and admiration, but with a fear of death.

Looking back, Persephone still thinks that those were extremely painful and torturous days.

But it doesn't matter to her now.

The bitter cold underworld has become her domain, and she has finally waited for the rare warmth.

Without the power to rule the underworld, she would have no way to protect this hard-earned warmth.

The painful past is over, and every day in the future should be a happy and warm "spring".

In order to keep this "spring" alive, Persephone is willing to offer the "core of the god of spring" and become a complete god of the underworld.

In this way, she could also become the "Death" that protects "Spring".

Therefore, Persephone now fully understands her mother Demeter's nagging.

Because now she is still worried that she can't take good care of him.

But no matter how worried she was, this was something she should do.

If another god coveted her "spring"... Persephone didn't know what she would do.

She couldn't even imagine such a scene.

"I have remembered all your instructions, mother." Persephone responded to Demeter's nagging and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of the child."

Demeter was stunned at the sight of her daughter's smile.

That smile was neither lively nor cute, unlike that of a young and beautiful girl, but it was just as beautiful and charming.

Although she could not read her daughter's mind, she could understand what kind of changes the child brought by Artemis had brought to her daughter.

"Persephone, you've...grown up." Demeter sighed. "Is it because of that child?"

"Yeah," Persephone nodded, "He's a good boy."

"Yeah, he's a good kid indeed."

"He never cries or makes trouble. He'll take the initiative to indicate what needs to be done, and he'll respond well to teasing. He's much more well-behaved than most children."

"If this child weren't so easy to take care of, I'd be worried you'd run out of patience and wouldn't be able to take good care of him," Demeter joked. "But then again... this child seems very sleepy lately... Could you have done something to disturb his sleep?"

"Ah... well..." Persephone blushed and replied tactfully, "Maybe he doesn't like being stared at all the time... right?"

"You child..." Demeter couldn't help but shake her head upon hearing this. "That child is a human. He can't stand your torment. Can you please restrain yourself in the future?"

"Well..." Persephone said reluctantly, "but..."

"There's nothing wrong with that," Demeter said bluntly. "Even though he can't speak yet, you don't want to be told you're annoying by that kid one day, do you?"

Persephone tried to picture the image her mother had described, and her face paled.

"I will correct myself." Persephone said seriously, "If that child dislikes me, I..."

"Have you already entered parenthood mode?" Demeter quipped with a smile, "Now you finally seem a bit lively."

"It happened so many years ago... Mother, you're still talking about it..." Persephone blushed and said dissatisfiedly, "You only talk about things from the past."

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about this anymore."

"You look so impatient now. You've been wanting to see the child for a long time, right?" Demeter smiled even more brightly and continued, "I'll go and get everyone to see you off. You go get the child first."

"it is good!"

Persephone nodded immediately upon hearing this, then turned into a spring breeze and headed straight for the temple courtyard.

"Persephone is such a... she forgot her mother after having a child."

Demeter looked at Persephone going away and couldn't help but sigh.

Within seconds, Persephone, transformed into a spring breeze, arrived beside Ash.

The mistress of the underworld carefully picked up her beloved child, held him in her arms, and let him feel the warmth of the child. She said, "From today on, we are a real family."

Perhaps in order to bring the child to her own territory as soon as possible, Persephone only held the child for ten minutes before turning into a spring breeze again and carrying the child outside the Temple of Demeter.

At this moment, outside the temple were not only Demeter and Artemis, but also countless Eleusinians.

The moment Persephone appeared, the people of Eleusis all bowed and bid farewell to the goddess of spring who was about to go to the underworld and become the mistress of the underworld.

"If you need anything in the underworld, remember to come to me," Demeter said seriously. "I will do my best to help you."

Persephone nodded, "I understand."

"After you get there, remember to write to me every month and tell me about the child's recent situation." Artemis said with a smile, "If you forget me, I will come to the underworld to find you, Sister Persephone."

"Of course." Persephone said with a smile, "As long as you don't mind the underworld being boring, you are always welcome to come and play, Artemis."

After saying goodbye to the two goddesses, Persephone accepted the wreaths given by the people and prepared to put them on her child.

Perhaps dissatisfied with wearing the wreath, the child in Persephone's arms reached out and pulled her veil.

This not only surprised the goddesses present, but also made the people present hold their breath.

Everyone in Eleusis... no, everyone in Greece knew that the gods never minded humans peeping at their faces. In fact, they were proud of people's onlookers and pursuits.

But since Persephone became the mistress of the underworld, she has always worn a veil and never shows her changed face.

Apparently, the mistress of the underworld doesn't want others to see her face.

Now, not only does someone dare to challenge this rule, but this challenger is actually the child raised by the goddess!

Can this challenge really be successful?

The people present were waiting for the challenger's next move with curiosity and fear.

However, the challenger did not lift the veil of the Mistress of the Underworld, but stopped after pulling the veil slightly.

This is not because the challenger has lost the courage to face the goddess.

"You... know I don't want to?" Persephone looked at the child's lowered hand and couldn't help asking a question that would not get an answer. "You're not afraid of me, right?"

Even though she couldn't get an answer, she still held the child in front of her, bent down, and showed the child her true face under the veil.
