Chapter 104: Chapter 104 - What Happens When A Goddess Touches You?

Now that Persephone had given the name of the voice in Darius' mind, Darius had a realization.

The shop he had gotten as a reward a few weeks ago…its name was Goddess Ariel's Shop. It made a lot more sense now, all the items inside her shop were most likely powers that she could potentially give to Darius.

"You there?" Persephone asked when she noticed that Darius was immobile, lost in his own thoughts.

However, it was normal for Darius to be reacting in such a way. He was in a completely new environment and he was suddenly learning that there were multiple worlds, gods, magic, all those things truly existed, and that's why Darius was slowly realizing that he was truly a pebble amongst a pile of diamond.

Humans from Earth were simply ignorant of everything surrounding them, and Darius had difficulty believing it. After all, the multi-verse had always been a theory by scientists, but they never managed to prove it.

'This discovery would be very important for humanity,' Darius thought in the back of his mind.

However, there was one slight problem with revealing what he was currently seeing to the world.

Humans were by nature careful creatures, Darius was a good example of that.

So, what would anyone say when being told that Gods exist…and that there are other worlds apart from the one they are currently living in?

They would make Darius as some sort of crazy individual.

That's what happened every single time someone made a huge discovery in science, they were portrayed as some kind of crazy individual who had lost his goddamn mind.

Thus, Darius placed those thoughts in the back of his mind as he drifted his attention back to the Death Goddess who was sipping tea very carefully.

Darius took his first step forward while taking in a deep breath, calming himself down as best as possible.

"…so, what do you want to talk about?"

"Well, your regression. Even now, when I look at you, I can't figure out how you were brought back twenty years to the past."

Darius frowned as he had no clue about that whatsoever.

"Uh…isn't it because of Ariel? She's the one who contacted me, after all."

"That bitch? No. She doesn't have that power, only I do. However, I know that I never helped you…so why?"

Persephone rubbed her chin as she stared Darius down.

In the meantime, Darius was losing his mind over what she had just said. For as long as he could remember, he had been convinced that the voice in his mind had been the one who had brought him back from the dead. But that wasn't the case anymore for some reason.

"So, you want to talk about…?"

"Your death, obviously. Tell me everything!" Persephone as she revealed a bright smile with clear excitement in her eyes.

Darius could clearly see that she loved talking about everything related to death. However, he wasn't sure what to say about it to Persephone.

Wasn't she supposed to be the expert?

So, why the hell was she asking a normal human being about his death, something that she should know about more than anyone else in the entire world.

"Well, it's really not that complicated. Some truck ran into me and I died, that's about it. Anything that happened after that is like a blur, and my memories become normal again once I was brought back to the past."

Persephone didn't say anything just yet when she was faced with such an explanation because truth be told, it was definitely underwhelming.

However, Darius was definitely one of a kind, and Persephone was still interested in him. After all, it was the first time in her life that she had met a human who had been brought back to the past seemingly on his own.

"Can you come closer to me? I need to do something, and after this, I'll send you right to Ariel."

Darius frowned slightly, as he didn't want to get close to the Goddess of Death. He vividly remembered Ariel's words, telling him to keep his distance from her and, more importantly, never be touched by Persephone.

Darius had no idea what would happen if he did, but he blindly trusted Ariel since she had no reason to lie to him. After all, she had only helped him as far as he could remember.

So, when he was asked to come closer, Darius mindlessly moved away from Persephone, which caused her to frown almost instantly.

"Tsk, are you scared of me?" she muttered as she carefully placed her cup of tea on the table in front of her.

Then, she stood up and glared in Darius' direction, making him freeze in an instant.

She walked toward him, and as she got closer, a smile appeared on her face.

"Your heartbeat is getting faster and faster… you really are scared of me, huh?" Persephone smiled even more. "I wonder what that sneaky bitch told you about me."

After uttering those words, she walked even closer to Darius as her breath was now going against Darius' perfect face.

No matter how much Darius wanted to move away and run as fast as he could… he couldn't. He was stuck in place, awaiting whatever Persephone wanted to do with him.

After all, Darius was no match at all for a Goddess, especially one that specialized in Death.

"You know, Ariel and I don't really get along with one another. That's why I was surprised when she asked for my help. I found it strange for her to ask me when she got practically all the male gods at her feet, answering and completing her every request."

Persephone walked as she brought her hand closer to Darius' face. It was right under his chin, and she had not yet touched it.

Seeing Darius' horrified look, Persephone grinned.

"You don't want me to touch you?" She muttered. "But why? Do you even know what happens when I touch someone?"

Darius shook his head as fast as he could, but there was no point.
