The old man on one side seemed to sense something, slowly opened his eyes, and then found that a person was standing beside him at some point.

Looking at his appearance and figure, the old man's pupils also shrank slightly at that moment.

"You" he struggled to even make a sound, his eyes full of horror.

"Looks like you've gained a lot of life with my stuff." Hypnos said in a deep voice.

Yes, the old man in front of him is the one who imprisoned him in the first place, Morgan Marbury.

He took away the treasure of Hypnos, and obviously, although the treasure was no longer with him, the time he had the treasure also increased his lifespan a lot.

"It's fine." Hypnos murmured, "I will go to Tanatos to find you, and I owe him a favor." ”

He lowered his head and whispered in his ear under his terrified eyes.

"Although, it's true that you didn't catch me, but if you take my things, you always have to pay a little price."

As His words fell, Morgan slowly closed his eyes, but then, his forehead began to be covered with sweat, and his body began to struggle, as if he was in some nightmare.

In fact, it is also true, he will be trapped in a nightmare for a long time.

The timeline in the dream is different, so even if he only has a few months to live, he may spend hundreds of years in the dream during those months.

Hypnos looked around, he had felt his treasure leave many years ago, but he couldn't perceive where it had gone.

For His strength was so weak now, so weak that perhaps even the Grim Reaper under his brother's hand could compare to it.

But if you want to regain your strength, then you have to get his treasure back, and this is a cycle of death.

He thought for a moment, and had no interest in going to trouble the young man of the Marbury family, for whom such a young man became the heir to the family, and the decline of the family was inevitable.

Countless black stones of sand drifted around Him, disintegrating Him and dissipating him in its place.

When I opened my eyes again. The first thing that caught my eye was an old man with gray hair and wearing a butler's uniform, who was squatting beside him and looking at him worriedly.

With some difficulty, he got up from the ground, and the place where he was now was a great desert.

The land was severely desertified, and large swaths of rock were exposed on the surface, but not far away, a huge city wall that was even longer than the Great Wall, tens of meters high, and made of yellow metal appeared in front of them.

The walls are covered with ancient patterns and reliefs, and even the front gate has a huge disc-shaped mechanism.

This is the dream realm, the divine realm that is dominated by him.

And the butler on his side, in a sense, is also a kind of "dream" is one of the managers of this dream realm, called Adolf.

"You're finally back." Adolf said with some excitement, "We sent a lot of people to look for you, but there was no trace of you. ”

"You won't find me, after all, even Thanatos hasn't been able to find me." Hypnos said.

Adolf's eyes were a little worried, "Where the hell have you been?" ”

"Messed with someone who shouldn't be messed with." Hypnos muttered softly, "The price has been paid. ”

Adolf's face showed a solemn look, "Even you can't deal with it, can't you?" Then why don't you go and find His Majesty Tanatos?"

Hypnos smiled disdainfully, "He is probably more afraid of that guy than I am, He warned me a long time ago, but unfortunately I never believed it." ”

Adolf's eyes showed a look of horror, "Who are you encountering?" ”

Hypnos whispered with a deep gaze, "I don't know, I don't even know if he's a god or not, I just know that he has the power that nothing can resist." ”

He said no more, "Let's go." ”

Adolf stood still, a little speechless.

Hypnos frowned slightly, "What's wrong?" ”

Adolf sighed and continued, "See for yourself." ”

Hypnos fell silent as he looked at the wall not far away, Adolf raised his hand, and the disc on the gate in the middle of the wall began to rotate slowly, making a mechanical clicking sound of opening and closing, and the heavy, heavy gate slowly opened to both sides.

After Hypnos and Adolf entered the city wall, what they saw made Hypnos frown deeply.

The clear waters of the lake that used to have dried up have dried up, revealing the lakebed; Originally, the birds were singing and the trees were lush, but now, not only can no birds be heard, but all the green that can be seen such as trees and shrubs has withered, and the land has become desertified, and the eyes are in ashes.

His palace also collapsed in many places, and half of the Roman columns collapsed in half.

"Without the support of your divine power, your dreams will quickly decay." Adolf said.

"What about the rest?" Hypnos asked.

"I don't know where to go, some are looking for you, and some are here." Adolf fell silent.

But Hypnos probably guessed what was going on.

"Take your time." Hypnos said calmly, "Anyway, we have a lot of time now. ”

He walked towards the palace in the middle, and came to the center of the palace.

The interior is still dilapidated, the floor is scattered with stones and glass, a crumbling appearance, the stained glass windows on both sides shine with a faint blue glow, and the cathedral style can still be seen in the dimness.

At the front of the hall is a winding staircase with no support or fence that leads to a throne-like seat above.

But now the staircase breaks in the middle.

Hypnos slowly raised his hand, and under the manipulation of divine power, the rubble and glass around him slowly floated and converged on itself.

However, just as these stones were floating in the air, those stones lost their divine power and scattered directly to the ground, and Hypnos also fell to his knees, gasping for breath.

Adolf then came up to pay him, but he pushed him away.

"You need to rest, master." Adolf said.

"There's not much time left, and the order of the dream needs to be re-established." Hypnos slowly stood up and took a deep breath, "I need to retrieve my treasure and regain my divine powers. ”

Like Thanatos, Hypnos divided his divine power in order to come to the human world, and his main divine power was basically in those three treasures.

The three that he had taken from him after he had been imprisoned by Namorgan, were sandbags, helmets, and rubies.

Adolf was silent for a moment, "But the books in the library are all gone because of your disappearance. ”

Just as there is a large library in Hades, there is also a library in the dream world of Hypnos.

The records of the library of Hades are derived from the memories of all souls, and are adjusted and integrated by the spirit of the book.

And half of the human beings in this world spend half of their time in their sleep, and the records of the dream library come from these dreams.

And if Hypnos had enough divine power, he could have quickly known the location of his treasures through sleep, and knew a lot of information, but now, these are gone.

Hypnos fell silent.

"Otherwise, you're going to ask Lord Tanatos for help?" Adolf asked tentatively.

"Don't mention this person to me in front of me again." Hypnos said in a deep voice.

Adolf hurriedly lowered his head, "Yes." ”

But then, as if sensing something, he slowly raised his head to look at the stairs not far away.

A black-robed and winged being slowly landed on the stairs near the throne, staring condescendingly at Hypnos, none other than Tanatos.

"Long time no see, brother." Tanatos spoke.

"Hmph." Hypnos sneered, "Did you think of coming to me at this time?" ”

"I can't resist fate." Tanatos said sincerely.

"Besides, this is the punishment you deserve."

"Look around you!" Hypnos suppressed his anger, "All my hard work has been ruined, my entire dream is on the verge of collapse, and after I disappear, I don't know how many people in the world have fallen into eternal sleep. ”

"You can't understand the quarrel with me now." Tanatos Road.

He slowly descended from the platform, "I'm here to help you, and now you, it's impossible to retrieve your things on your own." ”

Hypnos apparently understood this, and he took a deep breath.

"What do you want to do?"

"Mortals can't predict God's things, but Apollo, who has the ability to predict, is nowhere to be found, and in this world, the only ones who can help you find these things are the three goddesses of fate.

But "

Thanatos was silent for a moment, "During the years you have been imprisoned, I have tried to communicate with the three goddesses of fate with sacrifices, and they have not responded to me in any way."

He slowly raised his hand, and the Book of the Dead appeared in his hand, of course, this Book of the Dead was different from the other copies held by the Grim Reaper, it was the original text, and even the ability to change the date of death, which was given to him by the three goddesses of fate.

"The three goddesses of fate in the Book of the Dead have always been in a state of open eyes in the past, but in the last hundred years or so, they have been in a state of closed eyes."

"What do you mean?" Hypnos.

"Meaning, the three goddesses of fate may have fallen into a deep sleep like the rest of the gods." He said.

"And what are you going to do?" Hypnos' face was filled with a look of wuffle, "Did you come to see my joke?" ”

"It's not." "There is still one being in this world, who knows absolutely where your three treasures are. ”

He looked at Hypnos, "It's up to you to go to Him." ”

Hypnos seemed to have thought of something, and his emotions instantly became irritable, and he shouted excitedly.

"It can't be!"

"Then you can look for it in this vast sea of people." Thanatos looked at Hypnos, "This is the best way to do it if you want to gain power as quickly as possible, and if you let those nightmares know where you are, you know what they're going to do." ”

He looked at Hypnos and said earnestly.

"He is powerful enough for you and me to have no fundamental contradiction with Him.

The realm of such existence is beyond the reach of you and me.

And you just have to be sincere, and I think He will think about it.

Advice, I've already given it to you, it's up to you whether to make this choice or not."

He raised his hand and tossed a business card to Him.

"This is the location of His tavern."

With that, Tanatos slowly disappeared in place, leaving only an ugly Hypnos in his wake.

Adolf seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but say, "Master, the man that Master Tanatos said."

Hypnos didn't speak, he just took a deep breath, he looked at the ruined scene around him, and said in silence for a moment.

"How many treasures are there in the dream?"

"They took a lot of things with them when they left." Adolf said with a dark look in his eyes.

Hypnos's face finally showed a hint of anger, "Do you really think I can't come back, these bunch of crumbs!? ”

Adolf thought for a moment, "There's one thing left. ”

He walked briskly up the stairs, stood on the platform, and took out a chest under the platform, which he carried down and looked at Hypnos.

"Sir, only you can open the box."

Hypnos looked at the box, he was silent for a moment, but raised his hand to open it.

Inside the chest is a golden cup, which emits a dazzling golden light especially when it is opened, and even illuminates the whole realm magnificently.

Of course, the golden light is the secondary, with very ancient patterns carved on it, containing incomparably strong divine power, even for the gods, this is an absolute treasure.

Hypnos stared at the cup silently, without saying a word, and he took a few deep breaths, but finally made up his mind.

"Pack it up, and we'll take it out of the dream together."

Adolf was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Are you going to give this thing away?" ”

"This thing is of no real use to me now, and if it can be exchanged for something substantial, it will always be a loss." Hypnos said in a deep voice, "After all, when asking people to do things, you always have to be sincere."

He looked at the cup, "Perhaps this is the only thing that can be seen by that being. ”
