Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
21. The Problem of the Gods

"It's good to see you, Fobetor, the Greek god of nightmares"

Loki's intact body then melted into a black feather of ravens, and when Fobetor was about to catch him Loki who was in the form of a crow was already on his shoulders and whispered "It is surprising that you who are the Former God of Nightmare even made an oath contract with the Human who received the power of the present God of Nightmare"

"It's none of your business.."

"Well, even now that your attitude has changed drastically, you who used to just shut up and look at humans with your mustard form are now defending humans? Greek gods are weird.." Loki flew away from Fobetor's shoulder and when the distance between them both stared sharply at each other.

"Did your father know about this? shouldn't you be dead?"

"I told you it's none of your business, right!"

A tentacle emerges from Fobetor's back and quickly catches Loki, but instead of fearing that Loki smiles "Do you think they'll be silent about your condition?"

"I'm different from Novan, I won't be fooled by your deceit. I knew from the beginning you'd been following Novan, right? you realize something big is sleeping inside him"

Loki couldn't dodge, he finally sighed and returned to his human form "That's all right. Just relax I won't divulge anything about you guys, I'm here to warn you because it seems like as a former god you don't know the situation now.."

"Warnings?"

"Right now that the gods have started a cold war, no matter where their mythology comes from, competition is fierce especially in Nightmare because they want to be the strongest among the other gods, and this time the region was also an invisible battlefield between two powerful gods"

"So you're saying Poseidon was at war with another god?"

"Well I don't know either, but it seems that the boy will soon find out" Loki stared at Novan who now looked covered in black blood "Because I believe he is the son of the prophecy, the leader of the third camp, the king of the destruction of this world"

A prophecy, something that sounds taboo to believe what else for the gods, but in fact they pay attention to it because long ago the titans once made a prophecy of the destruction of the glory of the gods. The Nordic gods believed it was the second ragnarok while others said it was the apocalypse for the upper world. But what is troubling the gods is that the titans describe the prophecy with 2 waves, and exactly 1 century ago a wave has appeared.

Submissive humans began to oppose the gods in every dream world, creating a devastating 7-year war and dividing humans into two camps, the stronghold of gods and the stronghold of mortal men. The war made the gods restless, they had been hit by waves so unexpected that they even lost many of their best human heroes.

In the end all that remains of the war is a sense of division between the gods who believe in prophecy and who do not. In the aftermath of the incident were the dream gods, among whom were Fobetor and Morpheus who lost their bodies and half their god powers, causing the fall of the position of the dream god to some olympus deities, and the elevation of a man into a god who must devote himself to the gods themselves.

And soon the gods began to predict the coming of the second wave.

"That's impossible" Fobetor denied Loki's words "If the prophecy were real then the gods would have been able to get in the way easily"

"I'm not saying that the boy was Novan. It seems we were wrong to discuss the prophecy" said Loki firmly "Well I certainly don't believe that the boy will defeat the gods, either, mentally good but his strength is bad" Loki looked laughing looking at Novan who quickly repulsed the Moster with an intimidating look.

"Whatever it is I will look forward to his development, it seems that he can change his personality when he sees blood yes, very unique ya haha.." Loki laughed for a while before then with a smile on his face he then left without saying a word.

"Based on God is weird.."

The sound of a violent impact was heard from the direction of the battle, making him quickly then darted closer and in a state of shock he saw Novan's body that seemed to have been filled with blood from both his opponent and his own blood. The sky that had become orange seemed so tempting the dark monsters to come out, a situation so bad for the two of them to fight back.

Novan did not answer, his body stood up straight again and at high speed ran towards a large snake and split his stomach using his dagger. Blood rained down on him but his no longer glowing eyes stared at the body of the person coming out of the snake's belly.

"What did you do to death like this again." said Novan who now stared at the body of a black-haired boy in noble clothes. One of the children of Duke Akasa, a human chosen by the god Indra "Rian Akasa".

Fobetor, unable to guess Novan's mind, tries to protect him from behind, with his power creating a sword, making it easy to fight the more and more snakes.

Novan carefully lifted his brown eyes that had become red just staring at the empty air as if for a moment he was stuck in his own mind. No, it was like remembering something and waiting for someone. Just when the sun was about to set the sound of a young man's cry was heard splitting the commotion.

With a glistening mirror shield he reflected the light of the twilight sun towards the snake monsters, making them all go blind for a moment and then the young man quickly ran towards Novan and Fobetor. "Quick we have to get out of here!!"

The monsters who could then look back realized the day had darkened and they could not find the presence of the three young men.

In a village not far from the forest, Novan seemed to lie unconscious with bandages, next to him Fobetor could only be silent and say thank you to the man who had saved them.

"Thank you for bringing us here, otherwise you might have been eating the mustard"

"No problem, you can survive it's great. Are you twins?"

"Y-yes that's how it is.." Fobetor had to lie. "My name is Fobe, and this is my brother Nov, we came here to vacation on the beach but ended up being attacked by a bunch of snake mustard"

"So yeah, your luck is shit. Though the subordinates of the gorgons should not have wandered here" said the young man.

"Gorgons?"

"They were subordinates to the three gorgons Stheno, Euriale and Medusa" hearing Medusa's name immediately Fobetor became startled, and with an uneasy feeling he then asked.

"Sorry, what's your name?"

"My name? I'm Perseus"
