Hades And Persephone’s Love

To set the stage, Lore Olympus Chapter 139 left us on a cliffhanger. Echo confronts Daphne about her unexpected date with Apollo. Concerned, Echo warns Daphne about Apollo’s intentions, particularly his recent attempt to apply for marriage to Persephone—a clear sign he hasn’t moved on. Despite Echo’s caution, Daphne dismisses her concerns, attributing the outing to a casual fling. But as the date unfolds, Daphne quickly realizes her discomfort around Apollo, and with the help of Thanatos, she escapes through a bathroom window, leaving Apollo completely unaware. Meanwhile, we see Persephone in a tender moment with Hades, a peaceful scene that only adds to the story’s emotional contrasts.

Lore Olympus Chapter 140: Daphne And Thanatos

Lore Olympus Chapter 140 begins with a conversation between Daphne and Thanatos about Apollo’s strange behavior and Hades’s seemingly special treatment of Persephone. Daphne pointedly asks Thanatos why he is so bothered by his actions towards the goddess of Spring, urging him to reflect on his feelings. When Thanatos hesitates, she cleverly asks for his phone, entering her number and telling him to call her once he figures out his emotions.

The scene shifts to Hades, who presents his beloved with a new phone to replace the one he broke. She insists she can repay him, but he reassures her that it’s unnecessary, explaining the phone was a factory second that would have been discarded. She accepts his gift, expressing her gratitude.

Meanwhile, Hera and Echo are on their investigation, as Echo shares information with her about the hotel where Persephone had been staying. She is stunned, unable to believe a goddess of her stature would live in such a lowly place. Determined, they go to the hotel, setting the stage for further revelations. The Lore Olympus Chapter 140 ends with this intriguing visit.

Chapter 141: Hera Found The SIM

In Lore Olympus Chapter 141, the story opens with Persephone waking up the next morning, preparing herself for work—meanwhile, the scene shifts to Hera investigating the hotel room where Persephone stayed. She questions the hotel owner, instructing him to hand over any belongings the Spring Goddess left behind. However, he claims he has nothing, which leads Hera to uncover that he has been selling her things online. Outraged, she transforms him as punishment and retrieves all the items he had taken.

After sifting through Persephone’s belongings, Hera finds Persephone’s phone. She removed the SIM card and found a gift Persephone had intended for Hades. With her mission complete, she departs with the items. Later, Hera returns home and examines the content of Persephone’s SIM card, only to discover distressing photos that hint at a dark experience. Shocked and concerned, she immediately reaches out to her son, ending Lore Olympus Chapter 141 with a sense of foreboding.

Lore Olympus Chapter 142: The Entry of Hephaestus 

In Lore Olympus Chapter 142, Hera meets with her son Hephaestus, handing him a SIM card and asking if he can truly eliminate the data. Hephaestus assures her he can and begins to leave when she urges him to visit more often, as his sister would love to see him. He responds noncommittally, saying he’ll think about it, and exits.

The scene shifts to Hephaestus analyzing the data on the SIM card, instructing his AI assistant, Aetna, to search Persephone’s phone records. Hephaestus acknowledges to Aetna that they’ll encounter some troubling images and apologizes in advance. As an AI, Aetna reassures him that she feels nothing, allowing them to proceed without concern.

Meanwhile, Persephone receives a message from Hera, informing her that the issue with her photos will be resolved soon. Relieved, she calls Artemis, thanking her for providing a place to stay when she first arrived in Olympus. She explains that she can’t continue their friendship due to her hatred for Apollo, Artemis’s brother, who has caused her so much pain. Not wanting to strain Artemis’s family ties, she ends the call, saying goodbye. The Lore Olympus Chapter 142 closes with Persephone turning to Hades, suggesting they go shopping for clothes.

Chapter 143: Shopping Time

In Lore Olympus Chapter 143, the story begins with Persephone and Hades enjoying a shopping trip together. During their outing, he takes a moment to show her a tree she grew on Tower 4. He reveals that he trimmed it to enhance its beauty, expressing gratitude for the life and vibrance she brought into the Underworld. His gesture touches Persephone, and they continue shopping.

The scene then shifts to Apollo, who is having technical issues with his phone. He approaches Hermes, asking if his phone seems strange, mentioning that it’s freezing and he’s struggling to open apps. Hermes plays it cool, claiming not to notice anything unusual. However, it’s revealed that Aetna is manipulating Apollo’s phone in the background. Apollo confronts Hermes about withholding information on Persephone, but Hermes responds with a question in return. Apollo concludes that she must be suffering in the Underworld, convinced she’s having a terrible time.

In a contrasting scene, Persephone is shown thriving, fully embracing her role as a goddess. She and Hades share joyful moments together, experiencing the warmth of companionship. Lore Olympus Chapter 143 ends on a note of happiness and connection between them.

Lore Olympus Chapter 144: The Love They Have

In Lore Olympus Chapter 144, the scene opens with Persephone and Hades sharing an intimate kiss, where Hades confesses he cannot imagine a future where he doesn’t desire her. However, mindful of her position as a guest in his home, he expresses that he doesn’t want to overstep his role as host. Hades senses her discomfort, prompting her to open up about her mixed emotions. She admits, she feels both excited and fearful, uncertain about what might follow and worried that she won’t be able to match Hades’ past experiences. She admits to feeling emotionally “blocked,” afraid that her struggles might make him lose interest in her.

Hades reassures her, affirming that he could never stop wanting her and emphasizing that her needs and comfort are paramount. He encourages her to never feel obligated to please him at her own expense and acknowledges that while the beginning of a new relationship is thrilling, it can also be overwhelming. He assures her they can move at whatever pace she feels comfortable, suggesting they go on a proper date once the trial is behind them.

The scene transitions to Demeter, who is attempting to stay hidden and avoid detection. Her actions hint at unresolved tensions, leaving Lore Olympus Chapter 144 on a subtle note of intrigue regarding her plans and motivations.

Chapter 145: Demeter With Hecate

In Lore Olympus Chapter 145, Hecate encounters an anxious Demeter at her home. Demeter asks if Hecate has seen her daughter, Kore (Persephone), but quickly retracts the question, fearing that Zeus could force the information from her. Hecate reassures Demeter that Persephone is safe.

Hecate then questions Demeter’s recent whereabouts. Demeter explains she was in Olympus on a business trip when she learned about her arrest warrant. Unable to return to the human realm, she transformed into a bird to avoid capture. She refrains from going to Hestia, whom she considers a “snitch,” or to Hera, whose allegiance to Zeus is fickle.

Demeter shares her worry that Zeus may know Persephone is a fertility goddess, a realization that could put her in danger. She explains that fertility goddesses, while underestimated, hold immense, often untapped power. She recounts how powerful gods have historically exploited such goddesses for their own gains. Ouranos with Gaia, Kronos with Rhea, and even Zeus, who consumed Metis to strengthen himself against Kronos.

Demeter fears that Zeus might target Persephone to prevent her sons from gaining enough power to challenge him. Although Hecate tries to reassure her, noting no recent threats to Zeus, Demeter remains wary, ending Lore Olympus Chapter 145 on a cautious note.

Lore Olympus Chapter 146: Eros And Ampelus

In Lore Olympus Chapter 146, we begin with Eros calling for Ampelus as they practice archery. Eros explains their mission to the human world, using various arrows to help maintain the population. As they practice, Eros receives a message from Persephone, where she reveals she’s kissed Hades twice. Ampelus, curious, questions Eros about why Zeus is so angry with Persephone’s actions, especially considering how gods frequently interfere with humans. Eros clarifies that Zeus doesn’t care about humans; he only takes offence when excluded from decisions.

Apollo unexpectedly interrupts the conversation between Eros and Ampelus, causing visible irritation and tension between the men. Just as a fight seems imminent, Artemis arrives, stating that she and Apollo need to have a serious talk. The Lore Olympus Chapter 146 ends with a sense of anticipation, leaving the unresolved conflicts to build.

Lore Olympus Chapter 147: Leto, The Titaness

In Lore Olympus Chapter 147, Artemis confronts Apollo about his behavior toward Persephone. She reveals that Persephone confided in her, admitting Apollo makes her uncomfortable and that she wants to avoid him. Artemis, visibly frustrated, points out that Persephone even left their shared home, implying this isn’t just a misunderstanding. She demands honesty, struggling with the feeling of betrayal from her brother. Their intense exchange in Lore Olympus Chapter 147 is interrupted by Leto, their mother, who disapproves of Artemis’s emotional display.

Leto, a Titaness with a difficult history on Olympus, especially with Hera, urges Artemis to calm down and explain the issue. Apollo tries to pacify his mother, suggesting Persephone may have been influenced against him. He claims there was once mutual attraction, but now Persephone is spreading rumors to protect her college scholarship. He pressures Artemis, asking whom she trusts more—him or a “mere goddess” she barely knows. Disheartened, Artemis leaves in silence.

Apollo confides in Leto, who dismisses Artemis’s anger as temporary. She views Persephone as her “future daughter-in-law” and questions Apollo’s efforts to reconcile with her. When he admits Persephone spends most of her time in the Underworld with Hades, Leto resolves to intervene personally, setting the stage for the potential events after Lore Olympus Chapter 147.
