The Greece Antagonist

```

However, in a corner unseen by the two, Luo En and Hecate exchanged a glance, silently nodding to each other.

In fact, those involved in this play were not two, but three.

Nominating Medea as the new Queen of Elysium was one of the conditions for Luo En to lure Hecate out of the cave on War God Mountain.

Although it was necessary to announce the presence of this Master at War God Mountain to dispel the doubts of Hecate's old followers.

Luo En had no intention of letting the tiger return to the mountain, to actually let Hecate herself return to the Netherworld.

After all, who knows if this restless woman, once back in her lair, would turn around and stab him in the back.

Thus, the safest method was to send a friendly signal to Hecate's old followers in the Netherworld and slip in a mediator to handle communications.

Medea, destined to rise to the position of Queen of Elysium in the mythological genealogy, was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

On one hand, she was shrewder, more reliable than the foolish Circe.

On the other hand, her not-too-powerful strength would not cause the entirety of the Netherworld deities to feel threatened.

In addition, the Underworld King and Queen of the Underworld were his foster parents who took great care of him...

The Goddess of Conspiracy, Melinoe, was his foster sister, already thoroughly re-educated by him...

Two of the Three Judges, King Minos who had a close private friendship with him and Radamanthys who took Alcmene as his new bride, the current stepfather of Hercules...

With such solid relations, a mere call from him was enough for Medea to strut into the Netherworld for her new job, even if she was alone.

And with a Divine Office, Medea could further break away from her mortal shell, stepping into the realm of the ageless and undying.

To take good care of his myriad mortal lovers, Luo En had, behind the scenes, spared no effort.

Atalanta, raised single-handedly by Artemis, was deeply favored by the Goddess of the Hunt, confidently holding sway within the Moon Temple;

Helen, with two elder brothers as her support, also received the Golden Saint Cloth of Virgo and gained an easy employment at the Sanctuary;

Hippolyta's biological father was Ares, and she was also favored by Artemis, ensuring her future was without issues;

It was just that the lineage of Aiaia, to which Medea belonged, had its great BOSS Hecate singlehandedly defeated by him, her unworthy Disciple, and the teacher Circe was unreliable.

In both affection and reason, Luo En, as the senior disciple, must carefully plan the career future for his little apprentice sister.

Medea may not have known about this behind-the-scenes play deal, but she genuinely felt her elder brother's caring for her. The frustration of not being able to "taste the wine" after draining her little gold stash immediately disappeared, replaced by the sweetness brewing in her heart.

At this moment, Luo En continued to fleece his Master Hecate for the sake of his little apprentice sister:

"Since I'm working for you, should you not present a little gift for the occasion?"

Fully aware she could not escape this ordeal, Hecate cast a glance at a certain unworthy disciple, bit the tip of her index finger, and lightly traced a ring-shaped mark resembling a crown on Medea's forehead.

Having done all this, Hecate looked up at the God of Death and the God of Sleep across from her and spoke solemnly:

"From now on, when you see her, treat her as you would me. Whatever she commands, you follow, do you have any objections?"

Hearing that meaningful inquiry, a chill ran down the spines of the God of Death and the God of Sleep, who quickly nodded in respect.

"By your command, Mother Goddess!"

Pleased with their response, Hecate nodded in satisfaction.

Gods who lived to their age were naturally no fools; although these two brothers were her Lesser Deities, over time they might question her authority and switch allegiance.

Having this little girl Medea temporarily assume her role as the Queen of Elysium wouldn't be so bad; it would allow her to maintain a presence, and by the time she had the opportunity to return to the Netherworld, this girl posed no threat to her.

Thinking to this point, Hecate's gaze softened as she looked at little Medea.

"The Sigil of All-Encompassing Destruction is in your hands? Let me see."

"Oh."

Medea nodded obediently, carefully removing the purple-curved dagger from the Magic Circle Diagram and handing it to her Master.

Hecate's fingertips lightly grazed the blade, and a gold-red bloodstain melded into it, a more abstruse and mystical essence flowing within.

"Since Melinoe couldn't keep it herself, from now on, it's yours. Keep it safe."

"Thank you, Lady Hecate!"

Medea, upon hearing this, joyfully took back the Divine Artifact, which was remarkably compatible with her, fondling it lovingly.

"Alright, enough talking, I'm tired." Having done all this, Hecate yawned and waved to the God of Death and the God of Sleep, "If there's nothing else, you two can go back now, I need to rest as well."

The God of Death and the God of Sleep nodded respectfully, leading Medea, who was about to go through the Netherworld employment process, as they got up and left the Great Temple.

They had already received the information they wanted, and it was best not to ask questions that were not theirs to ask—a precious quality for exemplary subordinates.

And as the idle Circe saw the trio departing, she enthusiastically followed them out to see them off.

As the council chamber reverted to silence, Hecate hummed and turned her gaze to her lofty and unworthy disciple, her eyes betraying a hint of irritation and shame.

"So, can you undo this thing now?"

As she spoke, ripples spread like water across the surface of the Queen of Hell, distorting and breaking in a transparent layer of air.

What came into view was a professionally tied rope bondage, folded over at the center, looped around her neck, with knots at the collarbone, center of the chest, sternum, and pubic bone. The ropes were highlighted by faint specs of Divine Patterns, and between the ropes were standard tortoiseshell diamond-shapes, which accentuated the Witchcraft Goddess's curved features and bound her hands behind her back.

Upon closer inspection, the ends of these black ropes appeared to emerge from the ten rings adorning Hecate's toes.

Clearly, these were not mere decorations but instruments of restraint.

And at today's feast, she was clearly subjected to this punishing harness the whole time, kept in a humiliating posture...
