Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

Hiding in his dream, Hypnos has been waiting for a long time.

Until now, he was a little surprised that his trip went smoothly. No one asked him, and no one stopped him, because this place was not like Olympus, with nymphs acting as waiters and wandering between the palaces. After crossing the sixth level of the spiritual world, the God of Sleep came to the peak of the Sacred Mountain of Sinaia in an open and honest manner.

When he walked into the Lopez Temple, the empty temple was empty, and even the wine on the table was still warm. Not far from the main seat, there were some eggs of unknown creatures stored there, but Hypnos just took a look at them and stopped paying attention to them.

He will have plenty of time to think about it later, but now, business is the most important thing.

"It's really careless, but also, who would be cautious all the time in their own palace?"

Walking in front of the long desk, Hypnos noticed that at some point, there was a flame of various colors on the left side of the main desk.

It changes and jumps between different colors, takes root in the void, uses space as fuel, and illuminates everything around it. The God of Sleep has never seen such fire before. It is not a product of authority, but a special and special thing like a golden apple, which is naturally raised.

This is extremely rare in the world of Khaos, but in this palace, it is just an ordinary lighting tool.

"After all, he is an old guy who has lived for a long time, and he always has something special in his hands."

Whispering to himself, Hypnos tried his best to appear calm. As he spoke, he felt every corner of this temple. After a while, after walking around the table, Sleeping God finally found nothing wrong.

"Illusion?"

Frowning, the young god always felt that ever since he entered this palace, he had been feeling an inexplicable feeling of being watched, but no matter how he looked, there was no other life here.

After a slight hesitation, he finally let go of the strange feeling and hid his body in his dream. Time is running out and there is no room for him to do unnecessary things. What's more, he didn't dare to make a big move in this palace, lest his sneak attack lose its effect.

Next, it’s time to wait.

"Uh-?"

When the figure of the God of Sleep disappeared, a young white dragon poked his head out from behind a dragon egg and looked at the place where Hypnos disappeared in surprise.

Just now, Bai had been watching the God of Sleep silently, watching him observe the layout of the temple. She was a little curious about this person's purpose, but she didn't expect that he disappeared in just the blink of an eye.

I searched around but still found nothing. Feelings of disappointment surged into his heart, but the next moment, the young dragon awakened its instincts as if it was a self-taught one.

She opened the 'eye' that belonged exclusively to her soul, and then clearly saw where Hypnos was.

It was an undetectable light spot. The God of Sleep shrank his dream into a tiny speck of dust. If he hadn't seen him disappear with his own eyes, even if he could see the existence of the dream, it would be difficult to detect the God of Sleep's hiding place.

Inside, Hypnos had taken out the purple flute. This accompanying artifact has obviously also gained a lot of benefits in the process of perfecting the third level of the spiritual world, and the aura flowing on it has become deeper and deeper.

"Is this a dream?"

A clear voice sounded in his heart, and Bai just stared at the tiny dream world. There is no big or small, no rules, everything depends on the heart of life.

"From now on, will the dream belong to me?"

When Ryan walked into the temple, a voice sounded in his heart. Looking at the excited baby dragon, Ryan responded to her in the same way.

"The third spiritual world is the world of dreams. From now on, that will be your home."

······

Gray feathers fell from the void, making all spirits intoxicated. The melodious sound of the flute sounded from time to time, but it did not arouse anyone's vigilance at all.

Hiding in his dream, in front of Hypnos, Ryan was enveloped by the power of sleep almost without warning. The process went incredibly smoothly, and he didn't even notice it from beginning to end.

"I really didn't expect it to go so smoothly. But it seems normal."

"Maybe I'm thinking too much. Everything should have gone so smoothly."

Putting down the flute, in the dream, a smile gradually appeared on Hypnos's lips.

Although in the case of a sneak attack, Sleep God asked himself that no one in the world could not be affected by his authority, but when he really succeeded, he still felt a little excited about it.

He is not arrogant. In fact, Hypnos still has some awareness of his own strength. However, it is this awareness that actually boosts his confidence. Today's Sleeping God not only incorporated a little chaos source power when he was born, but he also deeply understood the nature of his authority during the process of building the dream world. All of this makes him even more powerful than the myths of later generations. Since he was able to plot against Zeus who was near the top with the help of the Queen, now he can only do better.

It can even be said that if Hypnos faced any other god, his judgment on himself would be very correct.

Crushing a ball in his hand, following the invisible connection, the beings in the spiritual world who had been scattered long ago received instructions. Not knowing how long it would take for the other spirit world gods to return to the spirit world, Hypnos simply struck first and let these spirit world beings create chaos everywhere.

Let them focus on these places, so that he has enough time to take over the authority of the spiritual world. After doing this last thing, the God of Sleep turned around and looked at Ryan, who was sleeping soundly on the throne.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that the scene before him was a bit unreal. Perhaps the victory came too suddenly, which made him subconsciously feel less confident.

"Not anymore."

Taking a deep breath, Hypnos slowly stepped forward.

"All gods are like this, aren't they?"

He stretched out his hand and reached towards Ryan's chest. He didn't know what the symbol of authority in the spiritual world looked like before. He just guessed that it was probably a pen. After all, the artifact that suppressed the core of the spiritual world was a book. And the result was just as Hypnos thought, the next moment, he really held an illusory quill.

The whole body is gray, with dark silver patterns on it, and mysterious symbols are carved on it. The most important thing is that it is a symbol of authority in the spiritual world.

"Now, I am the king."

He whispered softly to himself, clenching his right hand subconsciously. At this moment, Hypnos felt that he had 'seen' an extremely majestic existence, and even his consciousness became a little blurry.

I don't know how much time passed, but when he regained consciousness, the God of Sleep seemed to have established some kind of connection between himself and the spiritual world. A strong sense of power filled the heart of Sleep God. At this moment, he felt that he was omnipotent.

"Is this the Lord of the Spirit World?"

With a thought, all the worlds were shaken. With the power of this thought, Hypnos could no longer suppress his smile.

This feeling is so wonderful!

"Hahahahaha"

After laughing loudly for a while, Hypnos managed to regain his composure. Feeling this authority, he looked outside the spiritual world. With such power, how could he stop here?

The next step is to let the whole world sink into an eternal dream.

That's what he thought, and that's what he did. So Hypnos summoned his own men and decided to use the newly acquired authority to canonize them as gods.

It's a bit strange to say, why didn't the previous Lord of the Spirit World canonize a god, so that he defeated him so easily?

Shaking his head, Hypnos felt that he didn't need to think about such trivial matters. He stood alone on the top of the spiritual world and quietly waited for the worship of hundreds of millions of creatures.

······

When the God of Sleep crushed the ball, at the same time, a moderate chaos began to erupt in the first four levels of the spiritual world.

When Hypnos's final order was issued, the spiritual beings who had just gone to the Dream Realm to visit him not long ago also received the news. Although none of them disobeyed the God of Sleep, they still made different choices.

Some obey the orders, some assign incarnations and subordinates to carry out the tasks, and some use various methods to perfunctory the work. Under the influence of the spiritual world, not everyone is free from scruples. But no matter what, the spiritual world today is no longer as peaceful as it used to be.

One after another, the natural passages connecting different levels were temporarily destroyed, and many spiritual beings perished in the fighting. No one knew the reason for everything, but immediately, all this was sensed by the gods in the spiritual world.

Or to be more precise, the three goddesses who lived together with the reincarnation sensed the strange movements in the fourth level of the spiritual world, and they immediately informed their companions who came together.

"This is your arrangement."

The sentence structure was questioning and the tone was affirmative. Although she didn’t know how the other party got in touch with the life in the spiritual world, Lyanna didn’t believe it was a coincidence.

Opposite her, Asmodeus smiled and looked very polite.

"Maybe, so let's end it here. In fact, there is no need for us to continue this meaningless fight. I also promise you that after today, I will not personally interfere with soul matters again."

As the Lord of a Realm, it is not a glorious thing to come to snatch souls from others in person. That is to say, there has been secret communication about this matter, otherwise the Lord of Nine Hells may not be able to do it.

But that's all. From now on, it's all about the lords he canonized and the gods in the spiritual world. After all, with this first ‘investment’, the inner circle of hell is officially on track.

"."

Lyanna was silent for a moment after listening to the Lord of Hell's words. The first three levels of the spirit world don't matter. No matter how much trouble those spirit world beings make, they can't harm the spirit world itself. In fact, you don't need to care about their fight at all, but the world of spirits is different.

The area around the Well of Reincarnation swallows the souls of the entire world, and it is much more important than a small Aurora Plain. When weighed, it is obvious which one is more important.

But this was the last time. Lyanna secretly decided that from now on, she would advise Ryan to disconnect the fourth spiritual world from other levels.

The land of reincarnation does not need to welcome even native beings from the spiritual world to enter and exit. From now on, only angels who follow the River of Forgottenness or have some authority in the spiritual world can step into this interface.

In a few words, the original tense situation changed subtly, and the atmosphere in the human city ruins changed again, but this time, the pressure was on Hestia who was standing aside.

Not only because she couldn't watch all human souls being taken away by others, but also because she saw that unknown unknown existence turning its head and focusing on her.

Even that look made her feel inexplicably familiar.

······

Spirit world.

'Tens of thousands of years' have passed. After seizing the authority of the spiritual world, Hypnos began his plan to enter the dream world.

He first secretly introduced some weak gods into the dream, and then let their main consciousness be immersed in the false dream, and the real body was used by him. He eroded Olympus through a human war called "Troy", and then annexed the underworld and the stars in turn. Even the primitive gods were no match for him.

He dominated heaven and earth, ruled the sun, moon and stars, but he did not accept the position of God-King in this world and became the master of both the material and spiritual worlds. Because the God of Sleep feels that the spiritual world should be higher than the real world, not equal to him.

Finally, when Hypnos stood at the apex of Chaos, he looked at the world itself.

"All living beings have dreams, so I will let the spiritual world become the 'dream' of the world."

Let the laws of the world fall asleep, fall into the dream you weave, and then replace it. For a moment, the God of Sleep was astonished by his own thoughts. Already having everything, he implemented this idea without hesitation, and then used his consciousness to integrate with the world.

At this moment, a sense of detachment and reality surged into his heart, and Hypnos, who was in charge of everything, felt more perfect than ever.

This feeling

"How does it feel?"

While intoxicated, Hypnos heard a familiar voice asking him.

"It's good. I feel more real than ever before."

He said subconsciously, but the next moment, the sleeping god suddenly woke up. He is already the Lord of the world, who can speak in his ear?

"Who is you?"

He asked, but no one responded. Hypnos began to remember, following this familiar feeling. Finally, at the beginning of everything, he remembered the source of this familiar feeling.

That was Ryan's voice. Past memories gradually came to mind. Hypnos remembered it, but then an even greater confusion came to mind. God is immortal. He has taken away the authority of the spiritual world. He should still be alive. But what will be his fate? Why do you seem to have completely ignored his existence?

There are others. At this moment, the God of Sleep seemed to 'understand' something, and when he 'woke up', the world was shattered.

Everything in heaven and earth was destroyed. The rule he established and the gods he canonized disappeared. When Hypnos came back to his senses, he suddenly realized that he was standing in the center of the Lopez Temple, and Ryan was sitting on a chair. Go up and look at him quietly.

"Am I not good enough for you?"

Sitting on the seat, Ryan asked softly.

"I gave you life and allowed you to come into this world; I gave you power to make you stronger than you were destined to be by fate; I also gave you the right to become the master of the third spiritual world. "

"Now, tell me, what drives you to do all this? Is it just the influence of nature?"

"."

After being silent for a long time, Hypnos had countless doubts flashing through his mind, such as why he was clearly the god in charge of dreams, yet he was easily influenced by the other party and fell into his own dream. But now even if he gets an explanation, there is no explanation. It makes sense.

If he fails to win despite taking advantage of the right time and place, then his defeat is inevitable. But listening to Ryan's words, Hypnos felt a fire burning in his chest.

It’s like this every time. We are all children of the spiritual world. What the world gives me has nothing to do with you!

"Dreams are the activeness of spirituality in sleep, and are the bridge between spirituality and life. I am also a sacred person born in the spiritual world, and the supreme being who is born and immortal. Before the existence of the being who serves reincarnation was born, there were only you and me in the entire spiritual world. With innate divine power, why are you higher than me?"

The voice gradually became louder. At this moment, he was not making a statement to Ryan, but more like speaking to the spirit world. Divine power surged, and Hypnos's voice spread down the sacred mountain. Looking at Ryan on the high seat, he said word by word:

"The Son of Fire will not worship the Son of Earth. I didn't lose to you, it's just that the spirit world didn't choose me."

The evil god's emotions are naturally weak, but he is not completely devoid of positive emotions, but this emotion was left to the spirit world itself by Hypnos. In his opinion, Ryan is to the spiritual world just like Gaia is to the living world. They are the symbol of 'earth' and the original sacredness of the world, but they should not be rulers, but assistants.

But he is different. He should be the king of the spirit world, and then lead the spirit world to corrode the world, just like he did in the dream. As soon as a thought arises, everything today happens.

In particular, the existence of the immortal essence boosted Hypnos's self-confidence. In the past years, he had not heard of the saying that 'Ryan is the incarnation of the spirit world', but the God of Sleep didn't take it to heart at all. Because until the beginning of reincarnation, among the gods in the entire spiritual world, only he and Ryan had held authority since their birth. Even Lyanna did not have this kind of innate authority.

Hypnos didn't know what fate was, let alone that Lyanna didn't exist in the original history, but he did, so Chaos only gave him the privileges given to the innate gods by the world. He only knew that he and Ryan were equal.

"I understand. But unfortunately, the spirit world lives with me."

Standing up from his seat, Ryan couldn't express the joy or anger in his heart. In front of him, the God of Sleep sneered at his words.

His figure rushed towards Ryan, but seeing this scene, Ryan looked towards the door of the hall instead.

Even at this moment, Hypnos was still not carried away by his emotions. He seemed to want to fight hard, but in fact he did not resist needlessly, but wanted to escape from here and plot the follow-up. But obviously, he won't have this opportunity.

Looking at the back of the God of Sleep disappearing in an instant, Ryan gently raised his hand, and a green wooden pole appeared in his hand. The 'sure hit' ability that originally belonged to it has been transferred to the other two sections, but it still has a little lead left.

Now, this point has been drawn. When it is thrown, it will hit. This is the destined result.

"The spirit world is born with me. He is, I am, and we are all part of the existence of 'Ryan'. You refused to obey me. Although you did not abandon the Father who created you, you disobeyed His spirit that showed authority in the world. '."

The voice echoed in the seven-layer interface. Looking at Hypnos walking away, Ryan calmly gave him the final verdict.

"In this case, I will expel you from the spiritual world. You originally lived in the highest heaven, but now, I demote you to the bottom of the world."

After the words fell, the wooden pole came out of his hand, and it turned into a bright light and hit the sleeping god's back.

The next moment, under the guidance of the fate of "must win", it headed towards the destined trajectory together with the gods in front of it.

"Thirteen million years, this is my punishment for you."

Standing in the temple, Ryan looked at the sleeping god who was wrapped in light and fell from the sky, as calm as ever. At the same time, when Hypnos fell from the mountains, the sky outside also changed.

In the sky of Khaos, in addition to the tangible stars, there are also incorporeal illusory stars, which together form the vast starry sky. However, on this day, a star suddenly shined brightly.

It was originally a symbol of a god, illuminating the dreams of all beings, but it no longer is.

Under the gaze of all living beings in the world, the stars fell from the sky and entered the world at an immeasurable speed.

I'm asking for opinions. When I write Hell, do you think I should use Cronus's original name?
