Chapter 504 Magnetite

"call……"

"Have you finally left..."

Separating the boundary between the underworld and eternal night, the lavender moonlight shines on the gray earth.

But in the night, just a step away, the young god quietly watched everything happening in the outside world.

Nyx, one of the ancient gods of creation, is the goddess of the night and the Lord of Secrets.

No one in the outside world can penetrate the secrets within her realm, and Zeus is no exception.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, the God King did not know that the existence he wanted to find was just a size away from him.

"As expected...as long as I come here, Zeus will not chase me in again."

"After all, compared to me, he doesn't want to be an enemy of the ancient gods who coexist with the world because of this matter."

"He already has enough enemies, not to mention that he probably can't figure out why I can come in."

"If this is just because I am too weak, then his intrusion will be like adding a huge trouble to myself."

Muttering to himself, at this moment, the expression of the young god was like a poor child being chased to the doorstep by society.

After finally escaping home, he looked like he was surviving a disaster.

While watching the departing energetic elements through the window, I felt grateful for the safety brought by my 'parents'.

"call--"

"In the final analysis, it is thanks to the supreme power of the Mother Goddess that even the living God King does not dare to provoke him."

"No matter how arrogant and domineering Zeus is on weekdays, he would not dare to cause trouble here."

"Hmph, it means that the Mother Goddess is unwilling to participate in these things. Otherwise, the master of all the spirits in this world would not have the turn of a junior like him."

"Under the eternal night, no matter the starry sky, the earth or the ocean, we must follow the direction of the mother goddess."

"..."

Sincere tone and natural expression

No matter who comes to see it, they will only think that Hypnos is showing his true feelings at this moment.

However, they stayed at the edge of the Land of Eternal Night for a long time until the three-headed demon dog returned to its original position.

Its two dog heads were staring at the edge of the Land of Eternal Night, as if to complete the task assigned by the God King.

But next to the God of Sleep, nothing happened.

The land of eternal night is always so quiet, because the Mother of Night is also the master of silence.

In the earliest days of creation, all noise would disappear under the cover of night.

"...Maybe Zeus's guess is right. The Mother Goddess probably really doesn't take me seriously."

"I can come in just because I was born here."

"But other than that, there's nothing special about me."

After a while, Hypnos realized that there would really be no subsequent changes. While slightly disappointed, Hypnos breathed a sigh of relief.

For him, it's actually good that nothing has changed.

After all, he couldn't figure out the thoughts of a founding ancient god who he had only met once since his birth. In this case, it would be better not to meet him.

But in this case, he might really be stuck here temporarily.

Unlike before, here his power could not pass through the barrier of eternal night, lulling him to sleep beyond Cerberus's perception.

And once you walk out of here, what will greet the God of Sleep will probably be the methods left behind by the God King.

So at this moment, Hypnos could either wait here, waiting for the Lord of Hell to remember him, and then find a way to save him.

Or we can only stay here and wait for changes that will happen without knowing when.

"..."

"...No matter what, let's get out of here first."

"The land of eternal night is not safe."

Although he has not been back for a long time, Hypnos still remembers that there are many god-like beings in this ancient god's territory.

Of course, they cannot threaten the current sleeping god.

But fighting in the land of eternal night is a very stupid thing in itself.

Taking one last look at the direction he came in from, Hypnos walked in along the path in his memory.

He didn't really understand this place, and he didn't know where to avoid the native creatures.

But there is a place that should be quite safe.

That was where he was born, the plain covered with sleeping flowers.

······

Buzz——

It was almost the same moment before and after Hypnos was forced into the Land of Eternal Night.

Intertwined and overlapping in a strange time and space in the southeast of the world, but clearly separate from the real world.

Ever since it landed from the sky thousands of years ago, it has been wrapped and digested by the power of the world.

Without the right time, no one can enter even if they know it is here.

This is true for Erebus, and it is naturally true for other beings in this world.

But just today, everything seems to have changed slightly.

Maybe it was disturbed by the familiar aura, maybe it was the destined Poseidon who exploded when he was on the verge of despair, or some other reason.

In short, on this day, a gap finally appeared in the tight space-time barrier around the interface.

It may still not be enough for the real gods to pass through it, but for other mortal beings, this place is no longer a restricted area for them.

"..."

Tear--

In the center of a dilapidated ruins, the world that had been quiet for thousands of years ushered in the first change.

The void shook slightly, and then was broken open from the middle.

It started as a small gap, then grew larger and more obvious.

At a certain moment, it turned into an elliptical hole two people high, with a faint blue light on the surface.

The space-time that was pulsating like water waves filled it, and soon, with a burst of intense light, something passed through.

The hole disappeared, and the strange phenomenon disappeared.

Only the young prince and the artifact that was obviously dimmed by more than one point remained.

Plop——

"Ha... Hu... Ha..."

Half-kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily.

As if being drenched by water, Antilochus was soaked in sweat.

His face was pale and bloody, and the prince was like being seriously injured at this time.

Of course, in fact, he was indeed like this.

[Trident of Poseidon] did not lie to him, and the coordinates it got from Poseidon were indeed accurate.

And from the results, they did come here.

Antilochus could be sure that this was definitely not the sea he was familiar with.

It's not just the environment, but more importantly, as a warrior who barely stepped into the legendary realm with the power of divine blood, he can roughly sense the rules that are very different from the material world.

However, even though they arrived, both he and the Trident overlooked a problem.

That is, traveling through time and space is something that not just anyone can do.

Poseidon did not leave a warning when he found this place, because he was a god and he didn't think there was any problem; [Sea King Trident] had no objection, because it was a divine weapon and naturally didn't care about the pressure of time and space.

As for Antilochus... he obviously wouldn't prepare for something he had never done before.

So when he really started this cross-interface crossing, the prince almost didn't get here alive.

"... This is my mistake."

The divine light flashed, and a thought came from [Sea King Trident].

It didn't mean to do it, but in its eyes, this was not a problem.

"Huh... Ho..."

"... It doesn't matter. Anyway, we are all here, right?"

"So... this is the place where we can hide from the sea god, or even the king of gods."

After taking a few deep breaths, the injuries on his body gradually subsided.

The prince stood up from the ground and looked around.

This is a city, at least it used to be.

It has been destroyed, leaving only the wreckage.

But even so, looking at the collapsed buildings, Antilochus' eyes still flashed with surprise.

Building materials with regular materials, various decorations and different architectural styles.

Although he didn't know how to describe it, the prince still felt a sense of beauty from it.

And what attracted his attention the most were the broken lattices and surface patterns in the wreckage of the buildings.

Antilochus felt familiar at first glance.

"Silvermoon City... No, their styles are very different."

"These are definitely not products of the same type, but the results are the same."

"These things are definitely not made casually. They also have their own knowledge and systems behind them."

"This is the direction I want - but will such a civilization also perish?"

Excited, the prince took a few steps forward and stroked the layers of texture on the fallen pillars.

At first glance, they seemed to be just decorative patterns.

But for Antilochus, who had seen the alchemical runes with his own eyes, he asked himself if he could still tell the difference between the two.

Undoubtedly, this pattern itself has some kind of power.

And as long as there is enough energy supply, it may still be able to operate now.

What a wonderful craftsmanship...but such things are actually only used for construction.

Thinking of this, the prince shook his head gently.

This is not a problem, because Silvermoon City should be like this.

For them, alchemical products have been integrated into every corner of life.

His fingers passed over a vertex of the wreckage, where Antilochus found a special stone.

It is located at the node where many lines meet. Indistinctly, the stone seems to be absorbing some energy from the outside world.

It's just that this space seems to have long been empty of what it wants, so no matter how it absorbs, it will eventually be useless.

"One thousand years, two thousand years, or even longer?"

"Unbelievable, such a miraculous creation... I don't know if there are still living people here?"

"If there are none, it's fine. If there are, then I must ask him what the correct way to supply energy for this stone is, and what this building was used for when it was intact."

"This is exactly what I have always wanted."

The prince did not hide his thoughts in an admiring tone.

And the artifact did not say anything about this.

"Keep going inside. Just now, I tried to sense this place."

"If this is a city, then where we are should be just its outermost part."

"So if there are still living beings here, they are probably there."

"I know."

Nodding gently, Antilochus put down the things in his hand.

In the surrounding environment, all the energy that should be there exists.

The prince didn't think he could come up with any answers for a while.

So just like the artifact said, he went inside first.

After all, if he wanted to survive here in the future, understanding the environment and dangers was also one of the necessary preparations.
