"We will offer the treasure of Olympus!" Nyx made the highest bid!

"... Huh?" Hera finally woke up from her thoughts and looked at Nyx in confusion, her eyes saying, 'What are you doing? We didn't agree on this!"

"Treasures?" Violet's and the girls' eyes slowly started to become less intense.

"That's right, in exchange for accepting the gods we've named as refugees, we'll give away 10% of the treasures of Olympus." Nyx declared.

It may seem little, but we have to take into account that it is the treasure of an entire pantheon of gods, and many things were stored in their vaults, items ranging from divine artifacts to food capable of extending the lives of mortals, offering 30% of the treasures of an entire pantheon was inconceivable.

Hera opened her eyes wide when she heard what Nyx said:

"What!? You can't do-"

"Silence," Nyx ordered.

"..." Hera could only remain silent before the authority of the primordial goddess of the night.

"Do it for 80%, and we will accept it," Violet spoke suddenly.

"..." Everyone, without exception, opened their eyes in shock when they heard what Violet said.

Nyx narrowed her eyes. "Aren't you being too greedy, vampire?"

"You are the one asking for our help, Goddess." Violet smiled.

"I already told you it's not me; it's Hera."

"Mm, keep repeating those phrases like a parrot, and one day you might believe them."

"Because nobody here believes them," Violet spoke dismissively. She wondered if the night goddess thought they were fools, the story may be well told, but everything here reeked of conspiracy.

Even Violet herself, who wasn't as experienced in that area as the older women here, could tell that everything stank here.

"Wait, that's not the smell of conspiracy but of stinking whores who are after my husband.' It's worth noting that Violet didn't 'magically' forget Hera's previous

statement.

"..." Nyx didn't know what Violet was thinking, but by the look on her face, she knew it wasn't a good thing... Somehow, she started to get irritated with this woman.

"...35%" Nyx made a counteroffer.

"83%," Violet rose.

"40%!" Thinking it wasn't enough, Nyx increased it even more.

"85%!"

"Why are you raising?! This is not how a negotiation works!"

"Fine... I'll only accept 75%," Violet grumbled.

"50%, this is the final offer." Nyx was getting irritated.

"I will take it." Violet smiled widely, her smile saying that from the beginning, she was interested in the 50%.

"Tsk, brat.' Nyx snorted internally, but she wasn't 'so' upset. After all, the treasure wasn't hers, not to mention that the state of the treasures isn't the same as it was before the war since Zeus used a lot of artifacts in the war.

'Most of the items in the treasury now are just ambrosia, gold, and historical items.' The gods didn't care much for all these things and just collected them for pleasure.

"... Wait, a sec." Scathach suddenly interrupted, "Can you negotiate on behalf of Olympus, Nyx?"

"..." Silence fell around the room.

"Right? I was about to comment on that. How can someone like Nyx speak for all of Olympus? Isn't her domain in hell?"

Nyx, Erebus, and Tartaros were the primordial ones that stayed in Hell, and they had their own territories in that place that not even Persephone could enter.

Although Persephone expelled Nyx from the Underworld, this expulsion was only the territory Persephone controlled. In the rest of the Underworld, where she has no control, like the lowest areas of Greek Hell, Nyx can walk in peace.

"... Now that I think about it calmly, they are basically rebels fighting their king, right?" Ruby spoke.

"Indeed, and with that fact in mind, a little problem is born. They have no credibility to promise what they are talking about now. Not to mention, we're not even sure of the current status of the 'treasure' on Mount Olympus; she could be deceiving us." Scathach pointed out.

"...". A consensus reached the group without all of them even discussing it, and they judged that there was a lack of information to make an agreement.

"There is another problem too. The act of taking refugees from the gods of Olympus can be seen as meddling in war." Jeanne pointed.

"Eh? But aren't Aphrodite and Hestia refugees?"

"You are wrong. We are traitors; Zeus himself said so, right?" Aphrodite smiled. It was to earn the label of traitor that she looted the treasures of Mount Olympus... She was being greedy and wanted to help her faction too... Not to mention that with that stigma, the goddesses she rescued would be less prone to wanting to go back to Mount Olympus.

That is, she took an action that solved four of her problems instantly.

"... That is true." Hera's eyes gleamed with a strange and dangerous gleam as if she had a good idea.

Aphrodite, who saw this, felt something wrong about Hera:

"... Right? Therefore, we cannot accept-"

"So all I have to do is become a traitor, right?" Hera smiled widely.

"... Huh?"

"You cannot accept me because I am 'technically' still related to Olympus."

"Even though I'm completely useless in that place, I still belong to that place." 3

".." Aphrodite and Hestia looked at each other and then looked at Hera, who declared this nonsense.

'Is this the same Hera they knew?" The two goddesses thought.

Never would they think to see Hera herself calling herself worthless.

Now, they were definitely sure something was off with Hera. What happened to the arrogant goddess?

"Nyx, send me to Olympus; I will commit an act of treason!"

"... Okay." Since Nyx was interested, she easily helped. Nyx snapped her finger, and Hera disappeared. "..." A hush fell around them, and the group looked at Nyx. "Nyx, do you have any idea what you did...?" Hestia asked.

"Clearly, I fulfilled her request," Nyx answered as if it were obvious.

"It's not that! Hera, since she was young, has always been impulsive, arrogant, and vain, which is why she committed the foolish act of marrying Zeus. She hasn't changed, which means that if she decides to do something to betray Zeus, she will do something loud enough that Zeus will never want to look at her again!" Hestia didn't doubt that she would. After all, it's no secret that Hera hated Zeus and everyone he slept with due to his numerous betrayals.

"...Interesting... Even though your siblings treat you like shit, you still care about them, huh..." Nyx didn't care at all what Hestia said. She just couldn't help saying it to the kind... and foolish goddess.

"Zeus and Poseidon tried several times to force Hestia. Zeus disguised himself as several animals, and even the weather itself, to try to remove the goddess's virginity. Hera and Demeter practically ignored the existence of the older sister and only went after her when they wanted something. The only ones that can be considered decent in this useless family is Rhea; although she rarely came to visit the eldest daughter, she still did!'

'Even after these various acts against her, she still clings to this useless sentimentality.' Nyx just couldn't understand why Hestia didn't just give up like she did. 'I guess being the family goddess is a curse too, huh.'

"Because of that, we have to protect her from her own actions," Aphrodite spoke as the surrounding girls nodded and made sounds of confirmation.

For a moment, the two opposing groups came together in a mutual understanding.

"..." Hestia was speechless. Why did the subject come back to her all of a sudden! They were talking about Hera! Not her!

...

Mount Olympus,

Hera appeared on Mount Olympus and walked quietly to her chambers.

During the entire time, she had a 'gentle' smile on her face that gave chills to all the gods who saw her.

After all, they knew that when the queen of Olympus smiled like that, someone would usually suffer. That's her 'face' of revenge when her husband cheated on her with someone.

Arriving in her room, she walked towards the closet, crouched down, and pulled out a box.

"Hmm? It's not opening... Oh, I remember that I have to put my blood..."

She bit her finger, and golden blood fell into the opening of the box, as a 'click' sound was heard, and Hera managed to open the box.

Inside the box, a golden scythe similar to those used to cut wheat appeared.

Hera's eyes darkened visibly.

She touched the scythe blade. "Such a perfect job, Hephaestus... My son, though you were born so ugly, it is a fact that your hands are gifts given by primordial chaos itself... It is a pity that you are ugly." Hera picked up the scythe, at which point the scythe 'disappeared, and a small tattoo appeared on the top of her hand. She nodded in satisfaction. Then she closed the box and put it in the same place as before.

She exited her closet and left the room the same way it was before.

Hestia walked to her husband's quarters, the place where he usually brought some hole to stick his thing in.

Arriving in front of the large doors, she saw two guards who immediately flinched when they saw the queen's face.

"Leave."

"Y-Yes!" They didn't question her presence. After all, that was the usual routine... But for some reason, the two guards thought that the queen was much scarier today than the other times.

Hera opened the door and saw her husband the way he came into the world, and in his bed was a man, a woman, and several other holes that Hera didn't bother to look at.

For a moment, Hera's eyes made contact with the eyes of the man on the bed as the goddess of marriage smiled gently and made a shushing gesture to the man.

The man opened his eyes wide, it was obvious that he just wanted to get out of that place, but he couldn't... Not after seeing the Queen's 'gentle' face.

Hera approached the bed with silent steps as she always did in the past, and as always happened, Zeus noticed her.

Her husband looked at her for a moment, then he huffed and went back to 'work'.

If it was normal, Hera would just leave. If she was in a bad mood, she would have scolded him, but... She didn't do that; instead, she approached the bed.

"Zeus, do you have new holes?"

"Go away, Woman. As soon as I'm done here, I'll come talk to you. Didn't you get the message with my look?"

By the time he finished speaking, Hera was already near his bed.

"I received your message just fine, Zeus." A scythe appeared in her hand: "I will leave now."

"Good. We will talk about your transgressions-." He couldn't finish speaking because he felt a pain that he had never felt before in his body, a pain that, even in war, he had not felt.

"Starting today, you will have to find a new queen, Zeus." Hera smiled sadistically as golden blood spattered her face. 1

This sight completely terrified the 'holes' of Zeus in bed.

"Don't worry, it should be easy for you, right? Just take whatever hole you always use... Oh, I'll take that, just to make sure that part never grows on your body again."

Finishing speaking, Hera disappeared with beams as dark as night itself covering her.

"HERAAA!" Zeus' booming voice resounded across Olympus.

...

"Hmm?" Nyx felt someone calling her, and suddenly she snapped her finger again, and Hera appeared...

Completely covered in golden blood and with a big smile on her face, in her right hand was a scythe, and in her left hand was a 'censored object'.

"... Hera, My Sister... What did you do?"

She smiled crookedly: "Something that gave me immense pleasure to do, something I should have done from the beginning, I cut 'it' from my husband."

'She did what!?" Nyx opened her eyes in shock, a shock that was shared by everyone around her.

"...H-How?" Hera asked.

"It's easy. Zeus doesn't keep his guard up for me, so I walked into Mount Olympus, took this scythe I had my son make in the past, and walked towards Zeus's quarters. And as usual, he was fucking some hole, so I just walked up to him and cut the 'stuff." She narrated what she did as she threw the object to the ground.

'... As easy as that? Did you just go there and cut it? He's a God King, you know? Despite being a bastard, his strength is something quite concrete.' Nyx can't help but marvel at the foolishness of strong beings who think they are invincible and always let their guard down.

"Ewww!" Morgana and Violet made faces of disgust.

"Disgusting." Sasha and Ruby walked back a little further.

"Burning this shit!" Violet pointed. "Someone set this on fire!"

"Someone throw holy fire at this abomination!!"

"Violet, you are the fire handler here!" Sasha pointed out. "...Oh..." A face of realization appeared on Violet, and suddenly pure fire began to envelop her body, then she set fire to the censored object.

"Morgana, help me out here! Let's wipe it out of existence!"

"Count on me." Morgana's eyes began to glow pure red, and soon a beam of powerful heat shot out of her eyes. "BURN!!" The two spoke at the same time.

Looking at this view, Ruby randomly thought.

'Radiation power... Now that I come to think of it, isn't Morgana basically Kryptonian?... A Vampire with characteristics of a succubus and Kryptonian physiology... An imaginary white balloon appeared on Ruby's head and she tried to fuse all the characteristics into one being and imagined something completely strange that came straight out of a horror movie.

Ruby shuddered and shook her head from side to side to clear that image from her head.

'My imagination is being influenced by the horror movies I've been watching lately...'

Sometimes Ruby could be quite random with her thoughts.

As chaos raged around, Hera began to speak. "I wonder why I've never done this before. It's not like my divinity stops me from doing something; after all, I'm simply married to him."

It's not like her free will was compromised. The only problem her divinity gave her was that she couldn't 'separate' herself from the being she married.

"... Pfft... HAAHAHA! She really went and did it. I've grown to like you a little bit now, Hera." Scathach started to laugh.

"..." Hestia and Aphrodite were so shocked that their brain only restarted when they heard Scathach's laughter.

"Unbelievable... Aphrodite still couldn't believe it.

"Anyway! I am now a traitor! You will accept me, right!"

"... Can we talk about this first?" Hestia spoke, questioning her sister's sanity a lot now. She was already crazy enough before this.

"What? Why? I did what you asked!" Hera made a frustrated face.

"We didn't ask for anything! You did everything yourself!" Hestia spoke.

"You influenced me along with Nyx and Aphrodite!"

"I already told you that I didn't do anything! Don't put the blame on me!"

"Wait a sec, why are you putting my name in the subject? You did it all yourself! Nobody held your hand while you went to cut that abomination! Seriously, how have you liked something like this in the past?" Aphrodite spoke.

"I was young...! And Zeus was a war hero!" Hera declared.

"A war hero who ate his first wife, literally speaking, of course."

"We didn't know that in the past! We only came to find out about it when Athena was born from his head!"

"At that time, I couldn't separate myself from him thanks to my divinity... I didn't want to either. After all, I was the queen." Hera was honest; the power of everything in your hand with just one request was hard to let go of.

"Humpf, finally being honest." Aphrodite snorted.

"..." Looking at the chaos around her, Nyx, at that moment, wondered if it was a good idea to put this ticking time bomb in her plan.

... Did I push her too hard?' Nyx wondered if she abused Hera too much since she had been using Hera for several months. She made the goddess make several requests of her, requests considered quite 'dark' like killing, torturing, lying, et cetera.

Suddenly, Nyx realized that she may indeed have changed Hera forever, the goddess of marriage who was already 'dark' became even more 'dark' due to the impact of the goddess of the night.

'Well, fuck...' Nyx looked at Hera. 'Yes, I won't use it anymore. It's too risky! She turned her face away and pretended that she had nothing to do with this problem. She was completely innocent!

Believe her! After all, she is a 'gentle' goddess.

...

Let's Goo!
