Chapter 498: Chapter 30 Lady, Sleep Well, Don’t Look Back (4.6k)_2

The twins nodded, then looked at Luo En’s empty space behind him and showed a surprised expression.

“Right, why is it just you? Where are both of them?”

“Uh, they haven’t woken up…”

“Then shall we have Helen wake them up? Opposite us seems to be a deity; not so easy to handle.”

“Uh, they are not sleeping, they are passed out, won’t wake up for a while…”

Luo En spoke faintly, his face somewhat embarrassed.

...

Upon hearing this, the twins fell silent for a short while then simultaneously gave a thumbs up, subconsciously looking towards a certain someone’s area between the legs, mumbling to themselves internally.

Passed out from ecstasy? How beastly?

Noticing the brothers’ strange looks, Luo En immediately realized they were getting the wrong idea, but it wasn’t appropriate to explain directly.

After all, he couldn’t say it was the aftermath of using the power of lustful authority too vigorously, could he?

Resigning himself to take the blame for the situation, Luo En watched the brothers leave his sight, then slightly composed himself, stood up, and walked into the garden to start the official meeting.

At this moment, the visiting middle-aged beauty had finished the small talk and was sitting with Queen Clymene in the pavilion, enjoying the sweet nectar and delicate pastries.

Luo En walked through the vine-covered path to the tea table and got straight to the point.

“Lady, I hear you wanted to see me?”

The middle-aged beauty nodded with a smile, sizing up Luo En before her, and spoke softly.

“Let’s have a talk, little Dionysus…”

At her words, Luo En’s eyelids twitched. Without letting her finish, he activated his authority, fully catalyzing the wine’s intent in his cup.

Queen Clymene’s body swayed, she fell drunkenly onto the table, and slipped into deep slumber.

After eliminating the potential threat, Luo En erected dozens of concealed barriers around him, then with furrowed brows, looked at the mysterious noblewoman who had bluntly revealed his identity.

“Who are you?”

“No need to be so nervous, just call me Demeter.”

The beautiful woman spoke with a smile, serenity and tranquility shining through her features.

“Ah, it’s you.” Luo En breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from him.

Demeter was one of the Olympian Twelve Gods, governing agriculture, grain, and the harvest, while also being the biological mother to his adopted mother Persephone, theoretically making her one of his own people.

However, out of caution, Luo En glanced at the [Mark of the Dead] on his hand and asked gravely, “Did ‘Mother’ tell you I was here?”

After all, the power to manipulate souls on a grand scale belonged to the King and Queen of the Underworld, so it was almost inevitable that using such power might alert them.

“Not entirely…” Demeter gestured for Luo En to take a seat and replied softly, “With Typhon’s return, half of Arcadia Royal City is succumbed to Netherworld essence, and the balance of the lives of tens of thousands is disrupted—you’ve caused quite a stir, and it’s hard to keep it from those who are watchful.”

Luo En nodded, his mind on high alert.

Indeed, the more he used power that surpassed that of deities, the more likely he was to draw unwanted attention—he would have to be more cautious in the future.

After reminding himself, Luo En cautiously inquired, “So, your visit to Arcadia is because…”

“Why don’t you take a guess?” Demeter picked up her teacup, sipped it lightly, and measured up the figure before her with a smile, “Persephone has always praised your intelligence.”

Sensing the test in her words, Luo En thought for a moment, then a relaxed smile spread across his face.

“Is it about the Cult of Erebus? With your followers causing such a mess, someone has to come forward to clean up.”

Hearing his guess, Demeter set down her teacup with a wry smile, “I certainly didn’t tell them to massacre cities in pursuit of ‘Immortality’.”

Clearly, Luo En’s conjecture was on the mark.

With humanity and the gods now separated, the gods’ power growth for the next three hundred years was closely linked to human faith.

Though Demeter wasn’t strictly the founder of the Cult of Erebus, and didn’t directly appear on their behalf, over time, the Goddess of Agriculture had become inextricably linked with the cult.

The actions of the cult’s members, in one way or another, affected society’s perception and faith in Demeter.

This “Great Sacrifice of Arcadia” was a problem both big and small.

If the Erebus cultists involved were used as negative examples in a publicity campaign, the Cult of Erebus might become a target for universal denouncement as a deviant sect, and in a severe scenario, even Demeter, as the head deity of the cult, could see her reputation plummet dramatically.

Of course, aside from considering Demeter’s feelings, there was also the need to factor in his adoptive mother Persephone’s sentiments. Even without the maternal relationship with the Agriculture Goddess, she was also one of the main deities worshiped by the Cult of Erebus.

Considering the cult’s limited involvement in the incident, Luo En and Atalanta had no intention of blowing things out of proportion.

In fact, that was exactly what they did.

After defeating Typhon’s incarnation, stopping the grand sacrifice in the city, Atalanta had been dedicated to mediating the conflicts among the factions, leading the unblemished cultists through Arcadia’s most perilous moments in the name of atoning for their sins.

However, not pursuing matters didn’t mean they hadn’t happened.

Luo En looked at Demeter who had formally stepped forward on behalf of the Cult of Erebus and sighed heavily, his tone serious.

“Although I understand your dilemma and believe in your integrity, the nature of this incident is too grievous, and it has brought profound disaster to the Arcadians. Whether as a shepherd for the people or as the teacher of Her Majesty the Queen, I have to give them an explanation.”

“I know, it’s my lack of discipline…”
