Chapter 632: Other side

[Nihil’s Dimension]

In a world filled with crimson light coming from a looming blood moon of ominous proportions, Hypnos was standing in front of Nihil’s cocoon, observing her current state.

She had been healing inside the cocoon since her deadly bout in the Astral realm. However, for some odd reason, her healing speed seemed to have progressed significantly, like a rapid shift in gears.

Still, the state of her recovery was hardly of importance for the reincarnated god.

What bothered him at the moment was something of far higher importance than Nihil's well-being.

“I lost contact with my avatar,” Hypnos muttered as he adjusted his monocle. His expression was still calm but it was hard to hide the tumultuous waves that were visibly shifting in his head, fueling his unease and apprehension.

“So, I was not the only one.” A feminine voice resounded behind him.

“Zwei. Did you finish your task?” Hypnos asked but Zwei simply shook her head.

“I tried establishing my territory in Nihil’s dimension as you suggested but it was a failure. This dimension is not stable enough to contain a territory.”

“A failure, huh...” Hypnos released a sigh. He wasn't disappointed by the outcome. It was something he already expected. Dimension under the control of a Dimensional mage where nothing but Minor space orbiting around the main realms.

The rules and laws inside were incomplete and for that reason, they couldn't support the creation and growth of a new Territory.

Still, it was quite a shame. After all,

“If you try to establish your Territory in the Astral realm, the goddesses will immediately find you.” He said.

Zwei was different from the other believers of Chaos. Titans and the Chaos spawns did not create a territory when they reached the equivalent of the Demigod realm.

This was why they could flee and hide in the abyss with no fear.

But Zwei belonged to the forces of Order initially, and as such was beholden by its law. Unless she established her territory, she would always be considered an incomplete demigod.

“This is troublesome but shouldn't we worry more about the loss of our avatars? Honestly, I am quite surprised by this outcome.” Zwei grinned as she cleaned her ear with her pinky.

She didn't care much about Hypnos' goals and machinations. Truthfully, she didn't care much about becoming a demigod either.

She had already planned to visit the abyss later on and establish a territory there if necessary.

Ideally, he would have preferred to use the seven divine weapons instead but it did not matter.

They would make do with what they had.

“I have no other choice.”

The number of sacrifices necessary to replace the missing divine weapons would be... staggering, to say the least. So much that even if they sacrificed the entire mortal realm, it still might not be close enough.

They needed something more. They needed....

Hum?

A grin split his face as he realized just where they needed to go to find what they required.

The body closest to godhood if the reincarnated gods were not added. The nearly perfect being, created with the image of Chaos in a body that belonged to the forces of Order.

The Mother of Thousands of Monsters.

“We need to unseal Echidna’s body.” He said.

It would take some time, yes.

However, time was hardly a problem for them. They simply had to sink in the shadows while they prepared for what was to come.

You won the first round.

Hypnos thought of the prince of Lustburg. He did not know what the prince had done to annihilate their avatars, but whatever it was, victory was theirs at the moment.

This was something Hypnos had no choice but to accept.

Even so,

“We will be the last ones to laugh.”

He would make sure of it. He would not let a mortal humiliate him a second time.
