Chapter 40: The Nyx Trail
When the newborn god opened his eyes, he saw the world for the first time, and as far as he could see, there was the boundless night and the two ancient gods who had a greater sense of 'existence' than the night.
One is the owner of this place, and the whole interface resonates with her; One is also in harmony with the power of the spirit world, and seven layers of illusion are manifested in the vision of divinity.
In the perception of the god of sleep, two vast breaths connected the heavens and the earth, and as long as he raised his hand slightly, he could be crushed into dust.
Subconsciously a little nervous, Hypnos couldn't help but clench a dark purple flute in his hand. It was his companion artifact, part of Sleep, Dreams, and a little Chaos and Music in the Spirit Realm.
The lullaby sounded with it can make the gods fall into dreams, and it can also make all beings lose their minds in their sleep and please the gods in the fight.
“...... Hypnos, who has seen God the Father and God the Mother. ”
The vigilance was only for a moment, and even Ryan couldn't have noticed it if he hadn't observed it carefully enough. The next moment, the newborn god showed humble and admiring eyes.
As a 'born to know', Hypnos knew that the two gods in front of him were his 'parents'. Since they created him, naturally they didn't want to hurt him, and besides, in front of these two terrifying beings, the sleeping god didn't feel that his vigilance had any meaning.
Instead of showing 'fangs', it is better to behave mildly and harmlessly.
“...... God the Father, hehe, according to the tradition of Kaos, it seems to be so. ”
Seeing the change in Hypnos's expression, Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
For the gods, power is far deeper than the connection of blood. The power of Ryan and Nyx together created the gods in front of them, so legally speaking, they would indeed be regarded as parents by each other.
Just by referring to Ouranos and Gaia, you can know how unreliable this kind of unrelated parent-child relationship is. What's more, this is the world of Kaos, and in the mythology of later generations, cannibalism between father and son is simply a common occurrence for gods and mortals.
On the side, Nyx's expression was not very real under the black veil. She ignored Hypnos's greeting, just turned her head to look at Ryan, and said lightly:
"Now that the problem is solved, you can take him away."
"As for the reward for this-"
Nyx finally believed Ryan's previous explanation, and she also felt that no one could spy on her fate without her knowledge.
Since Ryan didn't do it on purpose, she should naturally give some gifts in return.
But in the empty land of eternal night, there is nothing to give in return.
So Nyx reached out and tore off a corner of his shirt. With a slight shake, the torn fabric turned into black silk cloth.
The fabric was just a façade, in fact, she was the one who tore off a small part of [Nix's black dress]. For the Night Lady, this artifact couldn't go any further anyway, and the loss of power at this point was nothing.
"It's yours."
With a soft snort, he tossed the black cloth to Ryan, and Nyx turned around and silently melted into the night of the Land of Eternal Night.
Looking at this scene, Ryan couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Huh-"
"Hypnos, it seems that your 'Mother Goddess' doesn't like you very much."
Taking the black cloth filled with the power of [Secret], Ryan turned his head to look at the newborn god.
But as soon as the words came out, he clearly felt that the night around him had a slight sense of repulsion towards him.
In the face of Nyx's faint warning, Ryan said no more.
"So, Father, am I going to live with you in the future?"
Seemingly a little saddened by the loss of the Mother Goddess, Hypnos looked at Ryan expectantly.
Looking at this scene, Ryan didn't mean to be soft-hearted at all. He knew very well that the evil god who had mixed some of the chaotic source power in the process of conception was not a good man and a woman.
For Hypnos, if it weren't for the disparity in strength between the two sides, and the control of the priesthood in his body as the lord of the spirit realm, he probably wouldn't care about this so-called 'Father God' at all.
But Ryan doesn't care.
"Come with me, and so will you."
Motioning for Hypnos and the three thousand demigod dream spirits around him to follow, Ryan turned and walked towards the path he had entered.
The god of sleep hurriedly followed. Although it was just born, he was also vaguely aware that in this realm full of night, if he walked around without guidance, he was afraid that the end would definitely not be much better.
······
Following the path he had come, Ryan made his way to it.
Perhaps it's because when she gave birth to the god of sleep, the Night Lady allowed the powers of the spirit world to reach into the land of eternal night. Now, this path seems to have some kind of mysterious power, and the night is slightly avoided, and the native creatures dare not make a mistake here.
Even without the guidance of the Night Lady, Ryan still walked out smoothly. It wasn't until he crossed the line between night and the underworld that he looked back at where he had gone.
Under the vision of divinity, a faint halo hung over the road, but it changed with Ryan's departure.
It's a manifestation of a little chaos in the Land of Eternal Night, where the spaces within it can be staggered. But no matter how it changes, this path infected by the power of the spirit world will always remain, but the location may change.
In the future, if someone is lucky enough to be guided, he will be able to follow the path that Ryan once walked, and enter and exit the land of eternal night safely under the protection of spiritual powers.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the Night Lady is not interested in him. The remnants of the spirit world could drive away the creatures of the night, but it was impossible to resist the creation of the ancient god himself.
"Hypnos." Turning around, Ryan casually asked, "Do you see that guy over there?" ”
"Yes, Father."
Bowing slightly, the young god looked into the distance.
Above Styx, there was nothing apparently, but in Hypnos's perception, a violent fluctuating emotion was hovering there, unabashedly revealing his existence to the outside world.
The present gods, or rather the gods of Kaos, have always been like this. They tend to sense and conceal themselves through their divine powers and bodies, but they are defenseless against the spiritual aspect.
As strong as Zeus, he will be sent into a dream by the original mythical god of sleep without noticing. For the spirit gods who observe directly from the spiritual plane, the hiding of the god of Zephyr is as if it does not exist.
"Father, do you need me to deal with him?"
With a gentle smile on his face, Hypnos asked softly.
"Go ahead, take him down."
Nodding, Ryan agreed to Hypnos' plea.
Similar to the Twelve Titans, Hypnos did not reach the limits allowed by the priesthood at birth, but he still had the power to be in the middle of the weak divine power.
Fighting head-on, he may not be the opponent of the Wind God. But seeing that Fellowos was still unaware, Ryan knew that soon, the battle would be over.
