The dream shifts and Persephone sees a shooting star she suspects isn’t a star. Later, Apollo announces a grand event, presenting Persephone as “Queen of the Gods and Heavens.” He fabricates a love story, casting himself as a hero. Distracted, Persephone recalls the shooting star, which Goddess of Dreams reveals was a diamond. Realizing it’s connected to Hades, Persephone decides to find him.

Hades, still wounded, remains vulnerable, prompting Persephone to act swiftly. She steps before him, creating a defensive barrier to shield him, prepared to face Kronos herself.
The situation escalates as Zeus arrives unexpectedly. Though valiant, Zeus is tragically harmed by Kronos. However, in his moments, Zeus channels his remaining power to injure Kronos. Despite the attack, Kronos remains largely unscathed, leaving Persephone to devise another strategy. She boldly declares that she is the one he seeks, taunting him to follow her. Her plan is to lead him away from the others, and she takes off running, with Kronos in pursuit.
As Persephone flees, she comes across the sacred pomegranate tree, realizing its potential significance. Just as she reaches for the fruit, Kronos captures her, looming over her with the intent to consume her. At this climactic moment, a bright light fills the room. Athena, accompanied by Ares, arrives to rescue Persephone. The two gods launch into action, creating an opportunity for Persephone to turn the tide.
Persephone instructs Ares to retrieve a fruit from the tree. Following her guidance, Ares manages to cut one in half and Persephone consumes it.

Ignoring his propositions, Persephone wields her powers with an unwavering determination to protect her loved ones and the Underworld.
As Kronos continues his attempts to lecture and dominate her, Persephone resolutely fights back, delivering a bold declaration: the Underworld is hers, she is its queen, and Kronos has no authority there. She reveals her many skills and cleverly counters his tyranny by devising a bold strategy. Understanding that Kronos enjoys swallowing other beings, Persephone manifests beings from Tartarus by giving them temporary physical forms.
