At this mont, she already regarded the two n before her as her absolute support and was willing to beco their mutual pillar.
Luo En noticed the subtle movent of his foster mother under the table, coughed lightly, and stood up to take his leave.
"Ti is of the essence, so I'll go prepare," he said.
As he spoke, he waved goodbye to Hades and Persephone and walked toward the garden gate.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn back and wink at Hades by the door, his face teasing.
This cheeky boy!
The Underworld King chuckled to himself, then turned his head to look at Persephone beside him.
Under the faintly flickering fluorite lamp light, his once cold-as-ice wife showed a rare tender softness, her stunning beauty captivating. Her graceful upper body was now completely leaning into his arms.
In an instant, Hades understood and swept his beloved wife into his arms, turned, and stepped into the bedchamber, the door behind him silently closing.
~~
The next day, in the dim Arima Cave, a garden golden bough embedded in the ground flickered dimly and brightly.
Sensing the special frequency resonance, Luo En abruptly opened his eyes during his ditation.
It's ti!
As usual, he tossed the fairy food wine and honey cakes he was carrying to Cerberus at the cave's entrance to satisfy his hunger, then stepped out and quietly made his way toward the Elysian Fields.
With practiced ease, he made his way unobstructed.
Luo En took only half the ti it had previously taken to stealthily enter the Elysian Fields and found the Ivory Gate leading to the "Dream of Truth."
Following Hades's instructions, he activated the Mark of the Dead on the back of his right hand, placing the divinely pulsing seal onto the great ivory door.
After a mont, the pristine ivory door rippled like water, and a bizarre, dream-like landscape unfolded within it.
Ready, Luo En took a deep breath and stepped through the Ivory Gate.
After a familiar sense of hindrance, he found himself standing on the sa dream beach he had arrived at before.
But this ti, there was no warm welco from Demon Ancestor Typhon.
Luo En scanned the calm sea and his face broke into a subtle smile; he reached for the Golden Holy Grail in the Magic Array and gently tilted it.
A stream of golden-red Divine Blood poured onto the sand and seawater at his feet, diffusing outward.
Suddenly, the quiet sea erupted into furious waves as a typhoon transford into a savage beast; the blue sky flashed with lightning, and eyes ford by stars cast their gaze; from beneath the earth, thunder roared, and mountain peaks resembling giants began to shake violently...
The entire silent world seed to co alive in an instant.
Facing these successive phenona, Luo En smiled playfully, slightly inclined the Golden Holy Grail, revealing the flowing golden-red Divine Blood, and spoke leisurely.
"You want it?" he asked.
Imdiately, the typhoon whipped up furious waves, the starfields tore the sky apart, and the earth split open...
Different phenona expressed the sa indescribable longing.
Seeing the intense reactions, Luo En's hypothesis was confird.
Indeed, he and Hecate shared the sa origin of "Chance"; what Hecate could do, he theoretically could do as well.
For instance, awakening these Old Gods from their slumber and offering them a chance to return to the real world.
And it was this uniqueness that had made him a target of Typhon, who was still awake, the mont he landed in the Dream World.
At that mont, as the Divine Blood laced with Chance spilled, prisoners sensing this scent beca excited and rushed toward Luo En on the beach.
"Don't rush; Hecate is still around, and even if you devoured , it would be pointless, not to ntion whether you can really consu ," he said.
Hearing the na of that jailer god and the reasoned analysis, the restless various consciousnesses cald down sowhat, but a deep resentnt still simred throughout the Dream World.
"How about this," Luo En proposed, "Lend so of your power, your Divinity, and I'll find a way to deal with her and get you out of this predicant."
"..."
The few Old Gods with their remaining self-consciousness fell silent.
Seeing this, Luo En, feeling as though he was enduring humiliation, tore open his outer garnt, revealing the glaring Wheel of Hecate, and protested vehently.
"Don't trust ? I have a grudge against her too!"
"..."
However, the Old Gods still did not respond, clearly not trusting his credibility or capabilities.
After repeatedly facing setbacks, Luo En steeled his heart and finally declared fiercely.
"Fine, fine, I'll guarantee it with my own soul, okay? I swear by the River Styx that I will do my utmost to rescue you, and if I fail to fulfill my promise or die along the way, my soul and my Divinity are yours!"
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
In an instant, the previously silent Dream World boiled over again.
One after another, the Old Gods, seeing hope, rushed to covenant with the intruder.
If successful, they could break free from this endless dream; if unsuccessful, they could still obtain that sliver of "Chance" needed to escape their confinent.
Either way, it seed a good deal, so cheers to that!
Watching one eager predecessor after another rush forward to lend him power, Luo En pressed his hand downward, his handso face breaking into a warm and radiant smile.
"Hold on, one at a ti, there's enough for everyone," he said.
