In the Temple of Zeus.
“The respected queen, I have followed your orders to search, but I did not find the gemstone in the temple.”
The large snake, Pi Tong surrendered at the temple and said to Hera in a deep voice.
“Impossible.”
Hera frowned.
“Yesterday, I placed that gemstone by my bed.”
“Even if that gemstone was attracted by the original owner’s divine power, it wouldn’t be able to leave the restriction that I have set up.”
“May I ask, queen of the gods?”
Pi Tong slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing a human-like confusion.
“What kind of existence does that blue gemstone that you want me to find have?
“As the king’s wife, you have endless treasures. It’s just a blue gemstone. Why did it catch your eye?”
Pi Tong was really puzzled.
After all, as long as Hera wanted it, there was basically nothing in the deity world that she couldn’t get her hands on.
Be it heavenly materials and earthly treasures, divine weapons, or rare jewelry.
All it takes was a word from Hera, then the gods of the deity world would take the initiative to present it to her.
Why would Hera, be obsessed with such a gem?
Hera frowned, snorted coldly, and said.
“What do you know?”
“It is the Tear of Atlantis.”
“That gem represents the will of the ocean. As long as you have it, you will be like the god of the sea, Poseidon, with the ability to freely use any seawater in the world.”
Pi Tong’s pupils trembled.
He had long heard that Poseidon had caused a ruckus in the Temple of Zeus yesterday and was suppressed by him.
After that, due to their brotherhood, there was no excessive punishment for Poseidon.
No wonder Zeus did not scold Poseidon. It turned out that he had actually snatched the Tears of Atlantis.
How ruthless!
He did not know if this was Zeus’s or Hera’s idea.
Pi Tong thought to himself.
Now that he had taken away Poseidon’s ability to control the sea, his title as the god of the sea was no longer worthy of its name.
The sea power that Poseidon had greatly relied on was now completely gone.
“Great queen, could it be that Poseidon secretly snuck into the temple and took away the gemstone as it is of extreme importance to him?”
Hera shook her head and said, “That’s absolutely impossible.”
“Zeus personally led three gods to set up a seal around my temple. Even if one of the ancient twelve Titans came, they would easily be discovered.
“With such a powerful defense, how could Poseidon, who currently possessed less than one-tenth of his strength, secretly steal the Tears of Atlantis?”
Pi Tong pondered and continued to ask.
“Could it be Hermes?
“As one of the twelve Olympians, representing the god of thieves, he probably has the ability to stealthily steal the gem, right?”
Hera nodded.
Pi Tong was right. If there was anyone else in the Olympus Mountains who could steal the Tear of Atlantis from her own temple, it would be Hermes.
“Order Hermes to see me now.”
Hera ordered.
Pi Tong bent down and said respectfully, “Queen, your order is my direction.”
Just as Pi Tong was about to leave, a voice sounded in the temple.
“Hera, I didn’t do such a rude thing.”
The next moment, a hurricane rose in front of Hera out of nowhere.
Then, a figure appeared in front of Hera and Pi Tong.
Pi Tong was shocked. This person had noiselessly appeared by his side!
However, Pi Tong was relieved after identifying the identity of the person.
It was Hermes!
Among the twelve Olympians, he represented as the god of commerce, travelers, thieves, and livestock.
His strength was not considered the best among the twelve Olympians. In fact, he was slightly weaker than the other Olympians.
But this did not affect Hermes’s status.
Because he had unparalleled speed and extremely powerful detection ability.
It could be said that if Hermes tried, even Zeus could not catch up to him in a short period of time.
Hera saw Hermes suddenly appear in front of her and couldn’t help but say with some dissatisfaction, “Hermes, are you being polite by coming uninvited?”
Hermes smiled faintly and said, “Respected queen, didn’t you just summon me?
“In that case, it shouldn’t be considered uninvited.”
Damn it.
Hermes’s probing ability was really too annoying!
“Since when did this guy start eavesdropping on the conversation between Hera and Pi Tong?
“Could it be that some of her secret conversations were also heard and known by Hermes?”
Hera couldn’t help but think.
“When did you start listening to our conversation just now?”
Hermes replied, “From when you started looking for Lord Poseidon’s gem and so on.”
Hera’s gaze was cold.
“Hasn’t Hermes been eavesdropping from the start?
“What an annoying fellow!”
“Hermes, know your status.”
“Even if you are one of the twelve Olympians, your status is still inferior to Zeus and I.”
Hermes’s face did not change at all. He still nodded with a smile.
Hera asked again, “Let me ask you one more time. Who does the Tear of Atlantis belong to?”
“My queen, the splendid and beautiful gem is of course only worthy of you.”
Hearing Hermes’s words, Hera’s expression became much better.
“Since you didn’t take my gem, where did it go?” Hera asked
Hermes slowly closed his eyes and released his divine power and probing ability.
Instantly, every tiny thing in the empress’s temple appeared in Hermes’s mind, not missing a single detail.
After a while.
Hermes slowly opened his eyes.
“Queen, I have good news and bad news to tell you.
“Which one do you wanna hear first?”
Hera glanced at Hermes and said, “Bad news.”
“I guarantee with my divinity that the Tear of Atlantis does not exist in your temple, not even in my scope of investigation.”
Hera knew how wide Hermes’s detection range was.
Hearing what he said, Hera’s eyes could not help but darken.
“What is the good news?”
“I have already captured a trace of the Tear of Atlantis’s aura. I can assure you that as long as I follow this aura, I will definitely be able to find its location.”
Hera nodded and said, “Very good. In that case, why are you still standing there?”
Hermes bowed slightly to Hera and then disappeared into the temple.
Hera said coldly, “If I find out who dared to steal my gem, he will definitely not be able to withstand my anger!”
