Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
76. Eternal Darkness (2)

"Make me part of that quiet darkness"

The light within the young man had dimmed and now his body was slowly consumed by the darkness. But unlike Vivian who changed and decided to be on the path of darkness, Perseus wanted to be immersed in it which means he wanted to die because the darkness was not living by standing on the darkness.

Novan pointed his red dagger at Perseus' left chest, his eyes staring at the young man. A smile is seen on Perseus' face and without a word Novan stabs him, ending the story of Perseus in the round at that time.

Perseus' blood flowed into the darkness of Novan's energy and a new power was formed. A red mist was created around him, and the air slowly began to fill with the smell of blood, making all living things within the range of the fog experience shortness of breath.

The sound of bells was heard when the palace clock was 00.00 in the evening. Simultaneously with a voice echoing throughout the ruined kingdom the red mist of Novan spread throughout the palace, as if celebrating the death of the hero and the main character in the current round. A new ruler of darkness has been born and killed the hero, Perseus' body is now submerged in the darkness of the shadow of Novan until it is left.

Vivian drew closer to Novan, she looked fine inside the red fog. "Congratulations to your success, my Lord" Vivian bowed and right after that a roar sounded from a distance. A black lion with red eyes ran towards him and on top of the lion Morpheus looked at him full of relief.

"Master!!"

"You guys..." Novan gazed at the black lion that had now turned into Fobetor, while Morpheus then ran towards him. The light of the missing Dimata Novan is now re-emerging, and his sharp and cold gaze slowly becomes softer. "thank goodness you survived" that's all Novan can say.

"H-hey your looks..." Fobetor seemed to stare towards Novan with a surprised and slightly goosebumps.

"What's wrong? Is something weird?" Fobetor is clearly convinced that the current figure of Novan is really similar to the figure of Novan that he had seen in the subconscious of Novan. The figure of a demigod who slaughtered the gods with red mist and darkness formed under his feet. But whatever it is, Fobetor does not want to be prejudiced, for him and Morpheus the return of Novan really is good news for them.

"No... It's okay, we better meet the others soon."

"Mr Novan, everyone has been waiting for you"

In a sturdy fortress protected by powerful protection magic Medusa appears to be treating Mammon's arm wounded by Ares' fire sword. "Damn! Slow down that part still hurts!" His body seemed almost covered by burns, lucky he was a demon so it was not impossible for him to heal any time soon.

Meanwhile outside the fort, just where the ground was no longer covered by the green grass Leviathan seemed to strengthen the fort with a layer of ice. "holy one please rest" a girl with blonde hair and golden fish scales on some parts of her body seemed to be staring at Leviathan with a worried look.

"No, it's not enough..."

"But you've been doing this for three days"

"I'm saying it's not enough!"

Leviathan seemed very wrathful, his battle with Poseidon ended in a draw and he had to wait for the right moment to return against Poseidon. But the thing that makes it so angry is the fact that Amphitrite is now re-sealed in the blue crystal of the ocean because Poseidon managed to capture it for a moment. As Leviathan continued to carry the crystal in his hand, it felt like he would go crazy for fear of something happening to Amphitrite if he released the crystal.

"Please calm yourself king of the sea" a soft and friendly voice sounded from behind and there Nik who was wearing a crown and a typical royal Elf robe seemed to try to calm the atmosphere. Behind him Kaleid and Samuel seemed to walk with him. Leviathan's eyes stared intently at the existence of Samuel who was the messenger of the god Vishnu.

"How am I supposed to calm down when one of the many pet gods is in our fortress?"

"I understand that you are uncomfortable with me, but I am really not an enemy" Samuel raised his palms and looked at Leviathan with a serious look.

"Sih how can I trust you-"

"Please don't make a fuss in this fortress, remember it's not your personal fortress" Kaleid's voice managed to break the tense atmosphere between them.

"Master Morpheus is back!!!" The sound of Griffin patrolling through the air echoed throughout the fortress and everyone looked outside the fort. In the night air that was not illuminated by the moon, a flying red dragon carried several people on its shoulders. Along with the distance between the dragon and the fortress that was getting closer dozens of monsters seemed to follow them.

"H-hey those monsters are coming here!"

"Prepare hurler!"

Right in front of the fortress was Fobetor landing and everyone could see who was on his back. Vivian who was alive and seemed to be enveloped by a different aura had become the center of everyone's attention, at least before they realized a man with a red halo on his head, it was Novan.

"It seems that the monsters came here because we're paying a lot of attention. We need to get to the fortress"

"No need to rush." Novan descended from the top of Fobetor's shoulders, an eagle wing appeared on his back and as he stood staring at the monsters running towards the fortress once again a pool of darkness appeared under his feet. "Now try to come here..." Novan muttered and as he spread out his hands five red daggers formed in the air and shot ahead of the monsters, as the dagger was stuck into the ground of the pool of darkness that was ready to suck anyone appeared, they ate most of the monsters.

All eyes were fixed on the roar of a monster that was immersed in darkness like being drawn into a black hole. And everyone can see Novan slowly smiling, a really very evil smile. Some fell with limp knees and trembling bodies, while others kept their mouths shut.

The monsters who were aware of the danger then retreated and now only left a giant black-haired wolf who continued to step forward. On the wolf's head was a star symbol, as if it were the leader of the monsters. Novan's eyes stared at the wolf's eyes, before walking closer.

"It seems that Hermes has no face until it must be replaced by a creature like you. I'll give you a minute and tell you what the gods are saying."

"O man, you have committed a great sin, though so saved, for crossing the tribulation" Novan frowned, aware that the wolf in front of him was not the business of the gods of Olympus or other mythologies.

"You're the abstract gods' business huh"

"for success, we who are represented by the giver of mercy in misery bless you to be the epitome of chaos" the wolf glows and the star on its head turns red.

As the light dimmed the size of the wolf it became smaller and he seemed to salute by lowering his head in front of Novan, followed by all the monsters behind him, and he looked to pay his respects, time stopped and everyone did not move. In the sky a masked human figure appeared to be surrounded by stars staring at him. Compassion Mission looked at him and Novan flapped his wings to fly closer.

"Basic, why would you do that if you came here yourself? One of the abstract gods?"

"The name of the inauguration should be special dong" Compassion Mission's tone sounded happy. "All gods must know that a figure of chaos has been born"

"It seems that the rumor is wrong, yes, about you who do not like to interfere with people's problems"

"Where is it possible" Compassion Mission shook his head "we hate people who interfere so much, you can guess who we mean?"

"The gods of mythology"

"Yes!" Compassion Mission approached Nvan, his eyes behind the mask emitting a golden light. "So we appreciate everything you've done" he clapped and laughed.

"So that's the reason why the gods of mythology don't know for sure what I've been doing all this time, it's worth my day being too peaceful before disaster strikes. It turns out that you've been watching me for a long time huh" Novan guessed exactly, that's why the gods didn't know Mammon and Leviathan could get into the comfort dream and team up with Novan. Everything was because the abstract gods covered their tracks, and the purpose of them all doing that was only one. Get an ace they can support to fight the mythological god.

"What do you want? Make me your puppet and fight the gods? Sorry I'm not interested"

"We want you to help us lock the gods up" Compassion Missiony cut off Novan's words, making the young man now round his eyes in shock "But before that you had to make a lot of preparations...".

"Novan, will you be a demigod?"
