The stormy silence in the hall regained its vitality after Azrail's words. He stood there watching as Hera's mind ran through the possibilities. All that Azrail spoke was very useful to Hera, just the fact of his ability to walk into the limbo itself being something that would shake the cosmos. It also opens up about how such a nobody from a small realm might have reached such a level of power.
But the more good Azrail lays it on for Hera, the higher her suspicion becomes. Right now she isn't going to jump into this, so taking in the silence Azrail spoke.
"How about this? Look through the info I just spoke to, and after that get back to me. I am even willing to sign a contract over it too."
The last of Azrail's words got much of Hera's attention. The prospects were a lot to gain, but before that, she needed to dive into the info. If it's true then perhaps the match for a chance at getting back to life can take place. Thus, lessening the pressure around, Hera spoke.
"Fine, I shall look into this and call you later for it."
Just as she finished speaking, Hera waved her hand, throwing Azrail right out of the hall. The transport permit expiring as Azrail appeared right back at the room he had booked in before. Taking deep breaths, Azrail sat down, his mind reeling in the information.
'Well, that went well,' he mused.
[Are you sure about this? Once it's set in motion you will be entering a very dangerous zone.]
To All-seer's words, Azrail smirked, as he responded in his mind.
'That's what I want, to awaken the power I need and to gain more influence this is the best place, for you know there is no more dysfunctional place than Olympus to start terror.'
[Yes, but it's the divine you are messing with, divines among the top, you still haven't reached the strength to take them all.]
'Well if worst comes to worst I will just clutch to the legs of my Daddy death.'
Snickering from the silence, Azrail focused on the information in his mind, no doubt that Hera would definitely contact him soon and when that happens, he would have set the first piece of his plans. Plus from what he knows, even if he didn't do anything, the fall of Hera is imminent, the future for her being very bleak.
'The fixed prophecy, the curse, revenge, and betrayal will all bring her down.'
Back in the past that Azrail remembers, the fall of Hera was an extremely big news that shook the whole cosmos. The way it happened and the information regarding it was openly released leading to a lot of it getting into the hands of the public and most of the information is something that is very useful to Azrail.
The main part for Hera's fall begins due to the constant interferences Hera did to keep the city of Troy from falling, that one city that began due to the will that it must fall, and no Gods should have taken part in trying to prevent its fall yet Hera did. Her arrogance back then led her to believe that nothing would backfire on her.
But she had underestimated the words spoken by the first primordial Gods and thus the first prophecy and curse fell upon her. The prophecy whispered only to her ears spoke of her downfall as the Queen mother, and prophecies applied with the power of fate meant that it would happen, it would come to be, and stopping it would be near impossible.
Hera's deep involvement in the Trojan War, driven by her jealousy and anger against Paris for not choosing her as the fairest, led her to manipulate events significantly. The curse was cast by a powerful, ancient deity aligned with the Trojans, possibly even Gaia (Mother Earth) herself, who was angered by the excessive bloodshed and divine meddling in the war. The curse is designed to bind Hera's power and make her vulnerable whenever she attempts to interfere directly in mortal affairs or engage in schemes of manipulation and jealousy.
'Though Hera has no idea that is just the lowest layer of the curse.'
By now it should have fully integrated into her and what is mostly its dangerous form is when Hera tries to force her way through the curse its dormant form will take place, which will strip Hera of all her authority and power and banish her to face a certain dangerous lifestyle. Of course, it's not all permanent and it won't kill her, it will just make her suffer.
It's the time that all her humiliation will come back to haunt her, to destroy her life, not to mention that the curse itself has attached to the greatest thing within her, her...pride.
The war that led from Hera's envy of her beauty and choice comes down upon her, such that Hera can't perceive her own sense of beauty. Right now it must have been eons since she has ever been physical with Zeus, her desires on hold, while she herself would doubt if she has any beauty that can make her husband look at her.
Of course, Hera is aware of this and is dealing with it but all of that will be very helpful for him, especially when all the pieces come together. Azrail will be the villain that drives the early push for Hera's demise, while also trying to gain her highest trust, which by the end of it she will have no choice but to give to him.
[This is a dangerous game you are playing with these Gods.]
'Well greater the risk, the higher the reward.'
Azrail retorted, though his smirk froze with the next words he heard.
[So, ready to meet all your lovers at once?]
Beautiful lights shined from the top of the ceiling, its light ambient color giving a calm feeling, while the whole room looked luxurious and beautiful. The place was adorned with rich tapestries, their vibrant colors bringing life to the walls. Golden chandeliers hung from above, each one encrusted with countless jewels that twinkled like stars.
The floor was made of polished marble, cool and smooth underfoot, reflecting the grandeur of the room. Plush carpets woven with intricate patterns softened the steps of those who walked upon them, adding a touch of comfort to the opulence. Ornate furniture, crafted from the finest woods and inlaid with precious metals, filled the space, each piece a work of art in its own right.
At the center of the room stood a grand table, its surface gleaming with a mirrored finish. Around it were high-backed chairs with cushions of the softest velvet, their frames carved with delicate designs that spoke of both elegance and strength. The air was filled with a subtle fragrance of exotic flowers, their scent mingling with the aroma of rich incense that burned in golden censers placed strategically around the room.
Large windows draped with heavy silk curtains allowed sunlight to stream in during the day, casting a warm glow over everything, a peaceful atmosphere filled the room, though the peace didn't last for long as light particles started to gather as people started to arrive, or in this situation girls, powerful girls with talent and background to shake the cosmos started to arrive.
First, itself Valencia arrived she took a seat, and it didn't take for long for the rest to arrive.
