Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
73. Disaster

Some time before I woke up...

"So you were assigned to interrogate this human?" Seth asked the three gods from different mythologies. Hermes seemed to nod as well as Hemdall, while Hopeless looked speechless. "Oh I know you, you're the god who guards the dark chariot tracks, right? It's the first time we've met ya" Seth's gaze stared at Hopeless whose face was covered by the darkness from the shadow of his hat.

"Okay, maybe the first time for you" a smile formed on Hopeless's lips and she continued her sentence "unfortunately it's not me who's going to interrogate this boy-"

"You're a unique god, calling humans 'children'. Do you know him?" Seth's unexpected question made Hermes and Hemdall look at Hopeless with a curious but gripping look. Seth, meanwhile, seemed to be smiling, as if he was just mispronouncing and trying to code Hermes and Hemdall that something was wrong.

"Where is possible" but once again Hopeless's reaction did not match Seth's expectations. The former sleeping god smiled and then walked up to Seth whispering "you better worry about your choice in this disaster. Don't bark as if you're really a beast, a god of destruction" and then Hopeless goes off to blend in with the darkness, leaving Seth who now seems completely annoyed.

Hopeless now set foot on a train that continues to accelerate to every side of the dream world, the train that used to be the starting point of Arin and Novan's journey seemed not much different from the previous one. The sound of the engine slowly slowed down and the train finally stopped at a place surrounded by pink trees and a beautiful sky decorated with star-studded clouds. No time can describe the place, not the morning, not the afternoon or evening or night, as if time did not run' in that place.

The place is always changing according to the wishes of its inhabitants, Ephemeral or known by the name of nature Lucid dream. It used to be a place where humans controlled their dreams, the only place they could make an escape from reality. But now the nature is so big that it has no inhabitants because the gods always drag humans into other dream realms such as comfort dream or nightmare.

Hopeless set his foot on the grass and then he walked towards somewhere, the more he walked further the more he saw the beautiful nature slowly seeming arid and gloomy. The laughter of the children who had a blurry figure was running everywhere and right in the middle of it all a young man seemed to be silent alone, Nanaru now looked very chaotic after his memory of Arin was erased. It was as if he had lost half of his consciousness.

Hopeless knew the whole time Nanaru was just looking for the boy, trying to explore his own thoughts to find the 'child figure' that he had always cared about. But as hard as he was looking for only a dead end he met. "You seem very chaotic, information god" Hopeless's voice made Nanaru glance at him for a moment.

"When this isn't the first time I've seen you like this, it's still sad"

"Haha.so... Was 'the boy' before me like this?" Nanaru asked with a trembling voice. Question explains that from the beginning he knew Novan, even from the beginning he collaborated with Hopeless in guiding Novan away all this time. But not only on the spin this time, but it has been since long ago when Novan stepped on his first round.

The two slowly walked together to a place where a mountain was towering. But actually behind there a tower that is not affected by time and destiny stands. The tower is the reason Hopeless can continue to get his memory back in every round of Novaan. The tower is the second place where all 'self data' Novan is written. And the person who wrote all that information was none other than Nanaru in every round of Novan's death, in the hope that one day he or Hopeless in the future remembers every piece of information he collects.

The thing that distinguishes between Hopeless and Nanaru is that Nanaru does not remember all the rounds and he does not want to read the information that 'himself is left behind, but his heart always knew that he had to help Novan no matter what. And Nanaru had never been against what his heart had been saying all this time except when he had obtained orders from the gods.

"God Hipnos, please say... That this is the last time. Please tell me I can go home..." Nanaru asks if this is the last time he will feel miserable, if the Novan round will really end and he can return to the real world. Being an ordinary person as before.

"It all depends on your choice and Novan"

"Nanaru I know this is hard for you but for the last time, help Novan"

Disaster was everywhere, the turbulent sea water brought the monsters to the mainland and from the mountains the monsters descended and destroyed the city. Security pillars designed by Valas and the talented magicians of the kingdom are seen making a magic wall that can protect the citizens.

"You lowly monsters!" The golden sand crashing into the group of monsters and tore them apart, Mammon protected the humans around him along with Kanz. "Dam... Leviathan do you hear me?! Where's Novan?!" Mammon activated his communication device and spoke to Leviathan.

Meanwhile, on the North coast of Leviathan, the sea freezes to create a wall of ice so large as to prevent a tsunami that brings monsters to hit the city. "I don't know, I'm so busy here!" Leviathan's hands seemed to freeze and under his feet ice so cold and thick formed.

"Where are Morpheus and Fobetor?!" Ask Mammon.

"They're dispersing to other places, it seems they're also looking for Novan"

"Damn, is this also the work of the gods?! Then how do we deal with this" Mammon's speech was interrupted when a golden trident floated almost about Leviathan,

the Leviathan communications equipment is now broken.

Leviathan gazed towards the ocean, a place where a god seemed to be looking at her with a sharp gaze. Poseidon began directing his subordinates to pierce through the ice wall, while Leviathan's subordinates continued to stand guard behind the ice wall. "Damn.." a few cracks were formed and from there ferocious monsters began to appear and attack the merfolk and monsters subordinate to Leviathan.

Meanwhile, Mammon is busy fighting Ares. The golden sand and the hot fire clashed against each other, making the golden sand of Mammon sometimes melt. While the two gods were holding back the high-level demons that were on the human side, Seth led the monsters to all corners of the dream world realm, creating many lost lives and destruction for all races.

When novan now looked at the three gods before him with a sharp gaze. A condescending smile formed on the faces of the two gods in front of him. "It just so happens that he's awake, how about we go for a live interrogation?" A gold chain appears and tries to handcuff Novan's hands and body. But the spark of light from the white rose brooch on Novan's chest made the chain instantly shatter.

Novan realizes that it is the ability of Fantasos who is now disguised as his Brooch. Now Novan can't let Fantasos get caught. "It's a pity that I have no interest in telling you any information" a red dagger appeared in Novan's hand and he threw it at Hemdall but then Hermes kicked the dagger before hitting Hemdall.

"Are you stupid or what?" Hermes flew up and appeared behind Novan "i don't need your permission to get information out of your mouth" a smile formed on his face as he showed the white rose brooch that was now in his hands made Novan instantly realize that the god managed to trick him for a moment and steal his white rose brooch.

"Because I can foresee the future and seize everything you have"
