When he said this, Thanatos lowered his head slightly, losing the arrogance and arrogance he had when talking to everyone before.

Hypnos clutched her skirt tightly, as if just recalling what happened back then would make her furious.

"He killed all my friends while I was sleeping... and actually turned them all into immortal soul creatures... This is how Lord Thanatos treats With his attitude towards life, people like him will never deserve to be respected, nor will they ever deserve to be loved.”

Li Muhan understood.

If it is true what Hypnos said, Thanatos is indeed extremely disrespectful of life, but now we cannot just listen to one side of the story.

He looked at Thanatos.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Thanatos still lowered his head, looking at the land under his feet that was almost shattered by him and Li Muhan and sighed.

"No."

"Of course not. This is your nature. You despise life and trample on souls. You are the superior God of Death, the right-hand man of Lord Hades..."

"and many more."

Cen Lin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly pinched his goatee, as if he thought of something.

The top hat on his head was now tattered and covered with dust, but he still pulled it out from the ruins and put it on his head.

Cen Lin looked at Hypnos and asked tentatively.

"Lord Hypnos, I take the liberty to ask, have you...understood your own divinity?"

Hypnos seemed irritated by the question.

She stood up immediately.

"What do you mean, human being, I am the god of dreams. Is there anyone in this world who understands his own divinity better than me?"

"Then do you know the characteristic of your own century-old dream?"

A century-old dream?

Li Muhan was also confused. He had only learned about Greek mythology through literature or film and television works, but he had never known this statement.

"I don't understand what you are talking about, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what we just said, does it?"

Hypnos said in an unhappy tone.

"When you were captured by our director... and you were asked to return to the Special Administration Bureau, we did some checks on you and also received some characteristics about you from the Eastern European Special Administration Bureau."

As for why the Eastern European Special Administration Bureau is so cooperative and provides almost all the information about Hypnos and Thanatos, it is naturally because these two people are hot potatoes. Foreign Special Administration Bureaus are different from China. They don't have inhuman existences like Lin Ze or Chang Yue.

The fewer powerful outliers, the better they can be managed.

Especially the true gods in these myths are existences that can almost shake the power of a country.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Hypnos asked.

Cen Lin hesitated for a moment and then said.

"Based on our testing of your divinity, combined with some relevant information from the Special Administration of Eastern Europe, we can confirm that you will fall into a rather long dream every fifty years, and this dream may last for a long time. One hundred to two hundred years..."

Hypnos was stunned.

Judging from her reaction, she didn't know she had such divinity at all.

"Nonsense! You mean I slept for two hundred years?!"

An angry expression appeared on the girl's face, which made Li Muhan start to become vigilant. The God of Dreams had not been harmed just now. If he suddenly attacked now, he might still have to fight.

"No...it's four hundred years."

Thanatos, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

He still lowered his head and his voice was a little hoarse, but everyone could hear every word he said clearly.

"What did you say?"

Hypnos turned his head and looked at Thanatos blankly.

"Lord Thanatos...this joke is not funny..."

"And this is not a characteristic of the godhead, but a flaw in Hypnos's divinity, a flaw that has been destined since birth."

"No, it's impossible. How could I not know about this? My father and mother have never said anything!"

Hypnos roared at the man.

The God of Death let out a long sigh. Having said this, it seemed that there was no point in remaining silent.

"At the beginning of your birth, your soul was broken. It is precisely because of this that your mother entrusted you to dreams. You must also rely on the power of dreams to replenish your soul, so you spend most of your day in the dream world. Spending time in a dream, every fifty years, you will fall into a deeper dream, and as this human said, you will sleep for one hundred to two hundred years."

Thanatos' hands slowly clasped together, and it was obvious that what he was going to say next would completely collapse his sister's worldview.

"But this time, you slept for four hundred years, so..."

"enough!"

The girl interrupted her brother.

She looked at Thanatos angrily.

"So what! It's only been four hundred years! Is this the reason why you killed my friends!? Just because I'm not here, so you can trample on their lives and torture their souls?!"

Li Muhan and Cen Lin looked at each other.

Cen Lin nodded, and then whispered to Li Muhan.

"The God of Dreams is extremely lacking in common sense. She spends almost her whole life in dreams, so..."

Li Muhan also fell silent.

He had even begun to hesitate whether to tell Hypnos about this.

In the end, Jin Wu suddenly stood up and said after seeing that everyone was silent.

"Four hundred years!? Cats and puppies can be considered very long-lived if they have a life span of twenty years. If it's four hundred years, wouldn't they have died long ago?!"

Even Hypnos was silent now.

She slowly turned her head and looked at Jinwu.

"What did you say?"

Little Jinwu was so frightened that he hid behind Li Muhan.

"I, I was right..."

Li Muhan touched Jin Crow's head, then looked at Hypnos and said.

"As you just heard, Hypnos, those... friends of yours will not survive until you wake up from a century-old dream. In other words, they were not killed by Thanatos. , but...died."

"End of life?...How is it possible? It's only been four hundred years. This is impossible..."

"In fact, the same is true for us humans. Our life span is only a few hundred years. Those who can live for a hundred years are considered to be very skilled people."

Cen Lin said.

"..."

Hypnos was stunned. She looked at everyone present, as if to judge whether they were deceiving her.

"Life is so fragile, Hypnos."

Li Muhan looked at her seriously and said.

"No...no, wait, then, why, why did he turn them into...dead souls, why!?"

Li Muhan looked at Thanatos.

"Then you have to ask him."

"...On the third day after I fell into a hundred-year sleep for you, I went to your temple and saw those hungry and dying animals. From that day on, I will take care of them for you every day. , but I didn’t want to see you sad when you woke up, so I… turned them into undead creatures after they died one after another.”

There was something apologetic and guilty in Thanatos' voice.

"I thought as long as they were still there and moving, you would be happy and you would smile, but I was wrong..."

He raised his head and looked at Hypnos with a bitter and helpless smile.

"Because what you need is warm life, not a cold corpse..."

thump--

The girl collapsed on the ground.

Those lives that had surrounded her, those lives that had driven away the loneliness for her.

Those little lights that guard her every night and wait for her to wake up.

Friends she once thought were powerful enough to heal a god.

To be so... fragile?
