Amphitrite was a Supreme God and had served as The Queen of the Seas for many years, now on the verge of establishing her own divine system.
She immediately sensed the change within herself—she was being affected by the Law of Lust permeating the grand hall.
And in the Divine Temple, the only other presence besides herself was the "Lord" she had just acknowledged—Bolos.
It was clear these laws originated from him.
"My Lord, what are you…"
She was not The Goddess of Love and Beauty Aphrodite, capable of dispelling such forces. But rather than act immediately, she blushed and looked at Bolos.
Bolos, already a God of Lust, couldn't restrain himself upon seeing Amphitrite's cold beauty now tinged with alluring warmth.
Without hesitation, he pulled Amphitrite—Poseidon's Queen of the Seas—onto his lap on the divine throne.
Their bodies intertwined. Within the law-drenched atmosphere of the Divine Temple, the scene turned all the more seductive.
Previously, he had only been involved with Hestia, one of the famed three virgin goddesses, who was not easy to approach. Bolos had neither forced her nor used his power.
Since his springtime tryst with Aphrodite in the seashell, he had abstained from pleasure for decades.
For a Greek Myths Divine Being, this was rather absurd.
At last, in Amphitrite's half-hearted resistance and subtle welcome, he could resume what a Greek Divine Being was meant to enjoy.
Especially when the subject was Poseidon's wife, which delighted Bolos all the more.
In fact, at that moment, he was even pondering whether he should snatch away Hades's wife next.
After all, the three divine brothers should receive the same treatment.
…
What Bolos didn't know was that while he and Amphitrite spent many days in passionate embrace within the Queen of the Seas' Divine Temple, The King of the Underworld Hades had finally found the place he had long been searching for.
This place was called Sicily.
Demeter the Goddess of Harvest, Zeus's second sister, had brought her daughter Persephone here to hide after realizing her younger brother—The King of the Gods—harbored certain thoughts toward the girl.
Unlike other goddesses, Persephone loved flowers dearly. She could spend her entire day frolicking among the wild blooms.
Despite being older than Athena and Artemis, she appeared more innocent and naive due to Demeter's sheltering.
On this day, while picking flowers in the fields of Sicily, a fissure suddenly cracked open on the cliffside, and Hades emerged in his gleaming chariot.
Originally, Hades had come to abduct his beloved sister—Demeter.
But upon seeing Persephone, who resembled her mother but was even more youthful, he was instantly captivated.
Since his mother had already been taken by Zeus, and the final rift between himself and Zeus hadn't yet formed, he decided to take the daughter instead.
He forcefully carried Persephone onto his chariot and raced back to the Underworld.
Demeter, hearing her daughter's cries, rushed to the field—only to find her already gone.
She searched all over Sicily but found nothing.
Devastated, she fell into a deep melancholy. Her Divine Power spread uncontrollably along with her Authority, causing all crops on the island to wither and die. The entire land was shrouded in death and desolation.
Hades's actions did not go unnoticed—Helios, the Sun God, witnessed it during his daily patrol and informed Demeter.
Upon learning the truth, Demeter immediately sought out her other brother—and Persephone's father—The King of the Gods Zeus, and begged for his help to retrieve their daughter.
But the once-infatuated Zeus, upon hearing that Persephone had been taken by Hades, remained silent on his throne.
Meanwhile, his wife, Queen of the Gods Hera, urged Demeter to give up the pursuit.
This way, Persephone could become Hades's wife and co-rule the Underworld.
"Well, well… truly fitting of the King and Queen of the Gods."
Disheartened, Demeter left the Olympus Divine Realm and went to the mortal world to find her eldest sister, Hestia, hoping to gain her assistance.
…
"Not good—Triton is coming."
Bolos had indulged himself joyfully with Amphitrite for over half a month.
On this day, Amphitrite hurried to tidy up both herself and Bolos, but her son Triton had already burst in.
She quickly pushed Bolos behind her and used Divine Power to obscure his appearance so that Triton wouldn't recognize him.
After all, Bolos was Olympus's most wanted figure—ranked among the twelve Supreme Gods and also the husband of Aphrodite.
Amphitrite didn't even have to think—if Triton knew Bolos's identity, he would strike instantly.
She didn't want to fight her own son, and Bolos had no desire to be exposed at that moment either. Once shielded by Amphitrite, he quietly refastened his Belt of Deceit and began altering his appearance.
The son of the King and Queen of the Seas was dumbfounded by the scene before him.
His revered mother was disheveled—clearly entangled with a male god.
The scene in the temple left no doubt—this was adultery.
"Mother… who is he? How could you do this to Father?"
Triton should not have brought up Poseidon. At the mention of his name, Amphitrite sneered coldly.
"What? It's fine for Poseidon to go chase after other goddesses, but I can't pursue a male god?"
"But he's the King of the Seas. Your status comes from him."
Amphitrite snapped back, "So what? He can find another Queen of the Seas—I don't care anymore."
"What are you saying?"
Triton stared in disbelief. His mother, who had always valued her status as Queen of the Seas, had just renounced it.
Amphitrite said coldly, "Exactly what I said. Anyone who wants to be Queen of the Seas can have the title."
"You can tell Poseidon. For now, I'm sending my lover to the surface."
In truth, even if Triton hadn't come, Bolos had planned to end his time with Amphitrite that day.
It seemed the silver humans on land had encountered some upheaval.
The faith he had recently received had decreased in volume—but the quality had grown significantly purer.
Curious, he could no longer remain in the Queen of the Seas' Divine Temple.
Under her stunned son's gaze, Amphitrite left, taking her "lover" with her.
But as soon as they reached the shore and before meeting any humans, they ran into the one Divine Being Amphitrite least wanted to see—The King of the Seas Poseidon.
