Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
63. Darkness Night

The longer Novan's mind got fuzzy, his head immediately felt dizzy as soon as he set himself out of the world's library, the sound of the clock's thump made Novan close his eyes as it became clearer and turned into a bell and he completely forgot everything that happened.

Novan now finds himself in the Astral, with Hopeless or Hipnos he stops there and unexpectedly Hades seems to have been waiting for both. Hades' purple eyes and Novan's red are now looking at each other, feeling familiar but also foreign at the same time. There were a lot of questions in his head but he couldn't say them.

"I didn't expect the time to go by so quickly" Hades' heavy, cold voice felt so strange in Novan's ears, it felt like it was the voice he was longing for, it was like hearing the voice of a father whom he had not seen for a long time. "I didn't expect you to grow this violent" a smile appeared on Hades's face, and as Novan was about to ask what he meant Novan's chest suddenly felt tight.

His black butterflies came out without him wanting and they then gathered together to form a figure. The butterfly that was once black slowly turned pale and formed a person's body. With his own two eyes Novan saw the butterfly make the figure of Morpheus.

"I'll take that as a compliment" Morpheus smiled and looked at Hades before turning to Hypnos. Without a word Hypnos approached Morpheus and smiled, a smile so warm as the figure of a parent who missed his son "how is the father?" Morpheus asked in such a gentle voice, he wanted to hug his father but he knew that he was not fully himself at the moment, nor Hypnos.

As Novan knew, both Morpheus and Fobetor were dead. All that remains now are pieces of their souls bound by the soul of Novan. Now it becomes clear why Hopeless always looks warmly at Novan, why Hopeless always helps him, and why Hopeless looks so sad.

Both of his sons, Hypnos, were dream gods with three children, and two of them were Morpheus and Fobetor. It was they who ruled the Dream world, arranged all parts of the dream world well and helped humans to enter and exit the dream realm.

But now no longer, no more dream gods, no more governing the dream world as well as them. All that remains now are endless tales and nightmares made by greedy gods. The gods are willing to do anything to achieve their goals, even they are willing to kill and depose the dream gods so that they can use the dream world as their 'earth.

"Let the two of them alone" Hades was suddenly beside Novan and invited Novan to go somewhere "there's something I want to talk to you about" his purple-colored eyes seemed so enveloped by the void, his black hair looked like the night sky fluttering in the air quietly. Darkness appeared at every step of his feet and his black robe swung elegantly every time he moved.

Now that they arrived at the edge of the lake emitting a bright white light, within the lake Novan could see some mermaid-tailed and human-bodied monsters looking at him for a moment before they left.

Around the lotus flower lake that has a variety of colors growing on the big and beautiful blue lotus leaves, the white trees looked so plentiful and on several occasions Novan could see some mystical animals that were so beautiful, such as white deer and horned rabbits.

The cold wind that blows under the starry sky feels so fresh, in this place the laws of nature do not apply and the sun never shines, even so the light is always on each side. That is the description of the perfect world, the world that can only be achieved when all the laws of nature that have been applied are lost and the absence of the name of human existence, he said, but it also means that humans will never be able to have it because basically the law will always exist whether it is from nature or humans themselves who make it.

"You see how many times this world really never makes its visitors bored" Hades spoke as he spread his hands to the edge of the lake, several fish approaching his hands. "There is no law here, all fused and side by side, no boundary or barrier because this is the realm between reality and illusion. Darkness and light coexist and both the dead and the living are all united here"

Hades said that nature is a nature that is not bound by rules, all souls who enter and live there are souls of spirits who cannot calm down. Either the spirit that has died and cannot accept his death or the spirit that separated from his body due to coma and can not return. All of these spirits were accepted into the Astral World, making it their second, aimless home, because of the many figures that inhabit it and the strength of the spiritual power there, the gods cannot take over the nature.

There is only one person who can befriend the inhabitants of that world, it is Hypnos the leader of the dream gods, as Novan has known, war occurs and Hypnos is known to have died. But now the gods handed Hopeless the position of the coordinator of the astral realms, not knowing that Hopeless himself was a Hypnos in disguise.

"Why are you helping me?" With just that one question, all of Novan's confusion over the attitude of Protogonos, Hopeless, and Hades was represented. Why they want to help humans who even hate gods, even they look without hesitation to show action.

"I still can't say this to you, what's for sure is that we didn't do it because we wanted to. Because we feel we need to do that. The eyes are reciprocated with the eyes, and the teeth are returned" Hades revealed his answer well without having to explain it directly. And Novan knew the meaning of Hades' words was that they wanted to get something back to another god, whether it was revenge, or something like that.

"It's definitely not a good thing huh...?" novan and Hades then nodded.

"Me?"

"I know the reason you're in this world" Novan's eyes rounded and he became interested in the subject.

"What do you mean you know what I'm like in the real world?! Can you tell me that?!" Hades seemed satisfied with Novan's reaction and he nodded silently before returning to talk.

"You are one of those humans who can enjoy darkness far better than the light around you. Darkness loves you and it is they who call you to this world"

Meanwhile at the Candra residence, Fobetor seemed to be clutching tightly onto the collar of the Forex shirt "how could you be this careless?!" He expresses his anger that the Protogonus liquid was apparently depleted due to its use on Arin while Arin disappears into a strange portal that until now has not been closed and cannot be entered. With panic and annoyance finally Abdi and Nikolai can separate Fobetor and Valas.

"It's definitely heading to the library of the universe" Mammon said.

"Hm, you wanna come in?" Leviathan gave the input.

"If we can get in, we're in!"

Leviathan then turned his arm around which was painful, he then started complaining "ck because the lowly god had my back so sore, his mind-reading power was really troublesome during the fight earlier" leviathan. Although Mammon was still confused by Leviathan's now drastically changed attitude he did not take issue with it.

"If it's not wrong he's one of the gods of Olympus right..?"

"Yes, his name is Hermes." Leviathan looked so upset when he said the name, he then gritted his teeth and again complained of "the insolent foundation of the gods, because they had long since lived in the sky his attitude had also become like the sky, though they were not human but why was there not an aura of wisdom as small as a sesame seed on him?"

"That's it, next time we should really catch him"

"Wouldn't Novan be happy?"
