Now, understanding the situation here is key.
"Two suns? I didn't expect there to be suns in this place... It's just that I don't know where this is, a world within the Abyss, it's hard to believe."
Looking up at the sky, several islands floated high above, wandering about, while the land was primitive and desolate, with two suns hanging in the sky, one to the left and one to the right. Hypnos gently flapped his wings and flew up into the midair.
Now, he felt unprecedentedly weak. Having lost the authority of [Dream] and even portions of Divine Power showing signs of dissipation. After all, in the years past, he had reached the upper limits allowed by his Godhood, and now that he no longer possessed a part of that limit, the original power had effectively lost its container.
At this moment, his Divine Power's Origin leaked out every second. It formed an illusory grey ribbon of light that slowly floated around his body.
"Since I can't keep it, I'll give it to you."
He sighed, resigned to the fact that he could not retain this power, Hypnos decided not to waste it. With a wave of his hand, the escaping Divine Power's Origin surged towards the beings from the Spirit Realm that came with him to this strange world, and his aura also dropped significantly.
Affected by the God of Sleep's Divine Power, those beings were transformed. As Spirit Realm beings, they originally had no physical bodies, but now, under the influence of Divine Power, they began to take shape. Perhaps due to the influence of the source of power, their appearances bore some resemblance to Hypnos.
"Having lost your own Dream Domain and being rejected by the Spirit Realm, you can no longer call yourselves lords of the Spirit Realm as before."
Reaching out, he felt it a few times, the God of Sleep puzzled. He mustered his strength, punching it, but his fist merely slid off to the sides.
This black wall seemed not only indestructible but could also deflect the forces struck upon it, rendering the method of 'piercing a barrier at a single point' ineffective against it.
"Is this a natural creation? How is that possible?"
Unable to understand, Hypnos circled the 'city wall.' Not knowing how far he walked, he seemed to come upon a joint. There, he suddenly realized that the 'black wall' was actually pieced together, and this place was exactly where two pieces overlapped.
At this moment, for some reason, an absurd thought surged into Hypnos's mind. Looking at everything, he couldn't help but feel that this 'black wall' didn't look like a wall at all, but rather...
"It's scales..."
Turning around in a daze, Hypnos stared blankly at the sky.
At the lowest of all worlds, the most terrifying prison. He had just felt that this place wasn't so terrible, but now, he finally realized where he was.
In the sky, there were never any suns. There was only the colossal head of the cosmic serpent, watching the 'misguided' intruder into Purgatory with its eyes that resembled the sun and moon.
