"elder sister……"

Antigonus frowned, "It seems that my influence on Salinger is weaker than I thought."

He stared at the illusory dream in the hand of the Mother of Heaven. In the dream, with His help, Salinger's movements began to slow down, and the Mother of Heaven seized several opportunities to attack, repeatedly successfully inflicting more wounds on the God of Death. But at the same time, the breath of death also eroded the Mother of Heaven, causing Him to be more and more seriously affected, His vitality rapidly declined, and his spirituality began to fade.

Antigonus frowned slightly, looked at the back of his hand, and looked at his sister's profile. After saying this, he stopped talking.

It took two seconds for the Mother of Heaven to answer Him:

"No, Antigonus, you are not weak at all, and the help you provide me is very reliable."

There was a strong sense of fatigue in his voice, and he spoke a little slowly, as if he was also affected by the battle situation in the dream.

"Really? I'm glad you didn't become a burden."

Antigonus' brows relaxed a little, but there was still a look of doubt and heaviness on his face.

"Sister, are you sure you can kill Salinger? We may be able to seriously injure him, but we may not be able to kill him. Moreover, the location you assumed is near the 'Eternal Dark River', which is Calderon in the spirit world, an important city for two generations of death gods..."

Two seconds after these words fell, the voice of Mother Heaven came softly:

"…I don't know either, Antigonus."

"I don't know what I can do, I don't know if I can defeat the God of Death... But I only know that I have to do something. If I don't take action, He will kill me, even if it's just to seriously injure him. I can't become a defenseless prey like before."

Antigonus was silent for a moment, then asked a different question:
"What if you and the God of Death both lose, and other gods find an opportunity to take advantage of you? What should you do?"

"Since the God of Death has begun to contact the River of Eternal Darkness, then other gods should also begin to try to contact the source material, right...?"

"I……"

Mother of Sky hesitated, and her hesitation was directly reflected in the dream in her hand. The nightmare was a little slower, resulting in the god of death seizing the opportunity. The pale flame burned the hem of Mother of Sky's long skirt dotted with stars.

He immediately stopped talking, concentrated on the struggle, put out the flames with all his strength, and hid in the darkness.

"I don't know, Antigonus."

“I have never thought about this question—I have never felt that I have the ability to participate in the wars of these gods! I am only a Sequence One, an angel who needs to live in fear under the gaze of my enemies. I do covet the throne, but I have never thought about what kind of god I will become… I do not love the Kingdom of Night as much as you do. In addition to the requirements of the promotion ceremony, I also fabricated beautiful dreams for every dead and living person. I protected the Kingdom of Night only for myself. I just wanted to resist—I just didn’t want to die.”

Only after leaving my father’s protection did I realize that suffering and bloodshed were the norm.

The children of the demon wolf, who were favored by their father, had to live cautiously because of their innate characteristics.

Antigonus pursed his lips:
"In other words, in order to survive, we'd better find a way to kill Salinger right here?"

Mother Sky nodded with a heavy heart.

"I will help you, sister." Antigonus felt his mouth was dry, and he licked the corner of his mouth. After two seconds, he asked as if to confirm, "Sister, will you always be by my side?"

Mother Sky nodded almost without hesitation: "I will."

Antigonus did not comment. He laughed and fell directly on his sister's shoulder like a wolf cub, and asked casually, "Will this happen again after waking up from this dream?"

The Mother of Heaven paused for a moment and looked at her brother in astonishment.

But after a few seconds, the expression behind the black veil returned to calm.

He was silent, snuggling with his brother, in this illusory, long-dead dream world.

……

Backlund.

After delivering the message from the Son of Chaos to the Demon of Knowledge, Edward left the place where the Black Emperor was bathing.

He looked at the populous Backlund and began to seriously think about a question:
"Is there any way to fight the Thunder God together with Klein and Amon?"

Edward considered himself to be a very persistent god who would move forward unswervingly once he set a goal. Therefore, he still wanted to turn around and give the little ghosts two punches - as for being beaten to death - oh, that kind of thing didn't matter at all. Even if he really died, the Demon of Knowledge had the ability to protect his extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness, and then he could just bring him back to the Western Continent and throw him into his own source.

"Let me see where Klein is now."

Edward reached out his hand and grabbed around in the spirit world, caught a spirit, and inquired about the current location of Mr. "Door", who had the aura of a high status, and got an answer that he was not very satisfied with.

"In Feynaport... But with his speed, it's not surprising that he can flash to Saint Miron in the next second. It's still a little difficult to catch the 'door', and my control over the spirit world is not very strong... How about I go and say hello to the God of Thunder first?"

At this moment, the sky above him suddenly darkened and a dark cloud that looked abnormal floated over.

When thunder began to brew in the dark clouds, Edward blinked his eyes and laughed cheerfully: "Although you may have guessed it, I still want to say it - yes, I am the one entrusted by the Demon of Knowledge to attract your attention! Although I am reluctant to let the two heirs of the Lord of Mysteries live, the Demon of Knowledge agreed to my conditions... There is nothing I can do about it... Right?"

A sun suddenly rose in the sky - no, looking closely, it was not the sun, but a giant brass eye!

The sculpture-like eyeball projected a ray of light, which fell on Edward, causing him to disappear from the spot and fall into the spiritual world.

"The power of the simulated 'gate'?"

High in the spiritual world, amidst the layers of dazzling white light, a majestic figure loomed.

Edward, who was instantly transported to the spirit world, laughed:

"Klein was chased by your thunderbolt, which gave you too many opportunities to simulate his extraordinary abilities. People who have just become gods are not very cautious. Having said that, I don't quite understand his idea of ​​saving people... It's meaningless. However, since you can't get the colony, the people of Loen will continue to suffer. I think you don't mind if I help you clean up the population and re-establish your prestige?"

What responded to Him was a bolt of lightning with a purifying power that was no less than that of a true God.

"Then I'll change the conditions."

Edward dodged the attack from the God of Thunder, but the lightning flew past His side and cheek at a speed that was almost impossible to dodge, leaving a wound burned by fire.

"It's really scary."

The imitation ability of the "Reader" path is indeed powerful. Even for this extraordinary ability, I can understand the desire of the Demon of Knowledge for this allotropic sequence... He said it exaggeratedly, without showing any emotion - demons will not have any negative emotions. Edward did not give up and continued to give his suggestions:
"It's true that the Demon of Knowledge commissioned me to attract your attention, but it didn't say how I was going to attract you... God of Thunder, I mean, if you can't get the colony, but you can get Feynaport? But what about the land of our neighbor Feysac? The snow in the Amanda Mountains is indeed very thick, but behind that is the entire sea and fertile plains."

"Feynepote is also a good choice, isn't it? It is blessed with abundance all year round, the land is fertile and full of vitality, and grain can be harvested three times a year even without blessing... Isn't what Loen lacks most now a large amount of food?" "Ah, that's what I want to say. If you are interested, I am willing to turn hostility into a win-win situation."

……

The two exiled wolves cuddled together for a little too long, so long that Antigonus and Mother of Heaven recalled the time when their father was still alive. They could cuddle together carefree, fight and play, and practice hunting techniques with various creatures.

Of course, when they are tired, they will also lean on each other and fall into a ball, listening to each other's heartbeats and breathing and dozing off.

Being under shelter does not mean there is no danger. Without external enemies, their father and other family members are the source of danger. Therefore, they will form small teams with brothers and sisters who have no hostile relationship according to their own paths early on.

"You still found me."

The Mother of Heaven sighed, but the ending tone rose slightly. After a long time, She asked, "Antigonus, when did you find out?"

"Answer me a question first," Antigonus said seriously, "You are not Amanesis, are you?"

Mother Sky shook her head.

Antigonus breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself, "That's right. Amanesis would not give me such a dream... There would be no sunshine, grasslands, Mount Honachis, or our Kingdom of Night in the dream. When I realized that this was a dream, I was basically sure that you were my sister. If it was Amanesis... then what she gave me would probably be a quiet and dark world, like a world of death."

"Or maybe I'll be trapped somewhere, unable to move forward or leave, having messy dreams in my sleep."

Mother Sky sighed: "When did you find out?"

"…This is a perfect dream, sister. You are definitely better than me now. I am almost intoxicated by it. Every detail here coincides with the Honachis Mountains in my memory, including the cave where I hid my favorite secret doll. It has been perfectly restored. In addition, even the scenery, the woods and stones, including the Kingdom of Night, are so perfect that I can't see any clues."

Antigonus closed his eyes, and after a moment, he opened them again, looking up at the false sun in the sky - the sunlight fell on His body, bringing a warm feeling and making people feel happy.

But this is just a deception of the senses by dreams.

He spoke as if he couldn't bear to interrupt the silence: "...Where am I sleeping?"

"The top of the Honachis Mountains," Mother Sky said simply.

"I'm not dead?" Antigonus was a little surprised. "So, sister, you protected me? But how did you become the king of angels? Obviously, Amanesis has already become a god."

In the dream, his memory and cognition were affected to a certain extent. The water of the "River of Eternal Darkness" made him sleep for too long, and he had been staying in the most familiar environment of the Kingdom of Night. He could not remember what happened afterwards.

"..."

Mother Heaven coughed and said, "I will have a long time to tell you about these later."

Antigonus smiled:

"Okay, let me continue. Although my sister has reproduced everything perfectly, I don't feel like I belong here. Sister, when I turned into a human, why was the clothes I wore asymmetrical? I like the color and style of this dress, but I don't remember when I started to like asymmetrical cuts. And I subconsciously felt that I had become weaker... If this is not my illusion, when did I become stronger than I am now?"

There has always been a doubt in his heart, and Antigonus himself is not sure when it arose.

Antigonus spread out his hands, then clenched them, looked at his palms, and uncertainly transmitted his power to the battlefield in the dream - there was an obvious feeling of being restrained. Once he carefully explored the source of this restraint, he would feel tired and sleepy, as if he had gone through a lot of activities and was now very tired, and would close his eyes and fall asleep in the next second.

He had been staying in the Kingdom of Night, responding to believers or running and playing every day. Why did he feel so tired, so tired that he couldn't open his eyes?
Antigonus carefully examined his situation, and dug out the doubts and special emotions that had been accumulated for a long time in his heart. His fingers gently grasped the corner of the Mother of Heaven's clothes, and his voice became a little trembling:

"Sister, tell me... If the Kingdom of Night has never changed, when did you put on the veil of secrecy?"

The goddess with wolf claws and human form sat quietly beside Him, saying nothing.

Antigonus raised his head. Even though he was so close, his eyes could not penetrate the black veil on the other person's head and see the beautiful face behind it which was already a little blurry in his memory.

"When I realized that all this was not true, I began to doubt you. I wondered whether you were my sister or Amanesis... He certainly wouldn't be so kind, right? But not necessarily. He might also create a beautiful dream for me to willingly fall asleep in it until I die... This must not be true. Otherwise, why do I feel fear, dread, and relief when I see you? Have I lost you? My memory is a little confused. When did I fall asleep?"

He was somewhat unable to continue speaking. Chaotic fragments, aroused by His subjective consciousness, began to flash frequently before His eyes.

Some bad memories were like pollution. After being briefly isolated by dreams, they stubbornly spread from the depths of dreams, trying to affect his spirit that had finally stabilized.

The power of tranquility enveloped her, and Mother Heaven still had some strength left in this dream.

Antigonus gradually regained his composure. He rubbed his forehead and said to his sister in annoyance:
"You have woven such a beautiful dream for me, which proves that I must have experienced something very bad, even near death, or fallen into some terrible state, and must use sleep and dreams to maintain stability."

"When I figured it all out, I felt a little regretful. Why did I pay attention to the doubts and why did I wake up from the dream?"

This dream is already perfect. The believers live and work in peace and contentment, my sister is by their side, the eyes of the gods will not fall on this inconspicuous little country and mountain range, and the two wolves, who can neither fully integrate into human society nor completely become wild beasts, depend on each other for survival.

Yeah, why wake up?
Just think of it as if you have fallen in love with a new style of clothes, and your sister has started to act out the scenes in advance. All the abnormalities are just your illusions... There is nothing wrong with living in this dream. After all, He has probably been sleeping like this for a very long time.

"But I still have to wake up from the dream..."

I can't live under your protection forever...

Antigonus was relieved in an instant and smiled: "Sister, let's kill Salinger first. If we defeat him and seal him or let you contain him, you will become stronger! ... Then, maybe you can let me wake up without worry?"

TBC
------

The God of Death felt a chill behind him, and he looked back vigilantly, looking for the direction where the Mother of Sky might appear.

An abnormal figure suddenly appeared in the darkness. The Grim Reaper attacked it without thinking, but he didn't feel like he hit anything.

The Grim Reaper was keenly aware of some changes, it seemed to be the surrounding atmosphere, or the opponent's attack style - the abnormal stiffness of his body just now was also very strange.

He suspected that there was something abnormal in the body he still left in Calderon. There were many extraordinary abilities that could slow down the opponent's thinking, but when it came to the Mother of Heaven, the only thing the God of Death could think of, besides "requiem", was "puppetization"!
But Antigonus is still asleep. If the Mother of Heaven really has the courage to wake him up, then there will be no need for us to fight...

The Grim Reaper looked around with eyes burning with pale flames.

At this moment, He saw another self walking out of the darkness.

It's strange that the Lamp God alone echoed the horse racing, watched Qiao Deng imagine the submarine theory of the Son of Chaos, and everything else was taken up. Now it's the turn of the wolf siblings. It feels like "Aurora Society: Ring Change".

No smelling salts!
