Chapter 108 Brother and Sister Betrayal
When Li Muhan asked this question, both gods fell silent.
They didn't know whether this was just another trick of the devil or if he had really changed his mind.
Until Li Muhan frowned and stared at the girl in his hands and said.
"I'll ask you one last time, can we coexist peacefully?! Although China is vast and rich in resources, we don't have the manpower and resources to build two separate worlds just for you two."
"...Barr, is missing?"
Hypnos was the first to realize that the man was no longer the king, but had turned back into the human being he was at the beginning.
It can also be said to be the agent of the devil.
"I do..."
Thanatos seemed to have accepted his fate and said with a sigh.
"Who, who made you agree?! I don't want to, I don't want to forgive this guy...!"
"Okay then, you live and he dies."
Li Muhan suddenly raised his foot and was about to step on Thanatos' head.
"Wait! Are you being unreasonable? I didn't want to do it, it was me! Kill me! Why did you kill him?!"
"If you don't want to see him, I'll kill him. Since you hate him so much anyway, I'll just do it for you."
"snort."
Unexpectedly, the girl sneered.
"He is the god of death. Even if you kill him, his soul will return to the River Styx. Kill him if you want."
Li Muhan snapped his fingers, as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Yes, yes, yes. I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. Thanatos, I'm warning you. If your soul dares to escape while I'm killing you, your sister will be in great pain."
"...Hey! Are you a human or a demon?! Why are you so cruel?!"
Li Muhan sighed. He didn't really want to kill them, he just wanted them to make peace.
For this purpose, he even asked Bal himself to cooperate with him. Although Bal seemed to want to make the fake play real in the end, he also regained control of his body in time.
But unexpectedly, even at this point, when even Thanatos had given in, the girl still refused to give up.
So Li Muhan put the girl down, and then helped Thanatos, who had a broken arm, up.
"Let me ask you something, I'm not gossiping, but what exactly is the conflict between you two?"
The two men thought for a while, and then looked at each other at the same time. Hypnos immediately turned his head away and said angrily.
"Thanatos...killed my best friend."
At this time, Cen Lin also dragged Jin Wu, who was almost fainted from crying, over.
He also understood what Li Muhan wanted to do. It must be said that Cen Lin now thought that Li Muhan was a lunatic.
Trying to put out a fire with a bigger explosion.
If Bal loses control or directly takes over his body, it will be a big problem.
Thanatos made no excuses and simply lowered his head.
After the battle, he also used his power to restore his arms. At this time, the two of them sat on a rock, not looking at each other.
Why sit on a rock?
Because this world has almost collapsed.
Except for the land near the cave where Jinwu lives, the rest of the place was submerged by the sea.
Li Muhan stood among them, looking left and right, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"That's enough! You're not kids anymore. If you have something to say, at least say it out loud. You can't solve any problems without communication!"
These words made both of them shrink back, and in the end it was Hypnos who spoke first.
"Humph, since you want to know, then I will tell you, so that you can know how cruel and ruthless this Lord Death is."
So from Hypnos's narration, Li Muhan and Cen Lin learned about an event in the past that was not recorded at all in mythology.
It was about five hundred years ago.
Because of her divinity, Hypnos spent most of the day sleeping and had little contact with other gods, even her fellow descendants of the Goddess of Night, except for Thanatos who would often visit her.
This god of dreams can be said to be a true loner.
If this kind of life goes on for a long time, even God will feel lonely.
This feeling didn't just linger around her during her waking hours.
Even in her sleep, she could feel a sense of sadness.
"Lord Thanatos has worked for Lord Hades and must have seen a lot of the world. Do you know how to ease this feeling?"
So during one of his visits, Hypnos, who had just woken up, suddenly asked Thanatos this question.
"...Next time you go to a human city-state to do business, I'll ask for you."
Although it was just a casual remark, Thanatos still remembered the promise he made to his sister. When they went to the human city-state to collect the soul of a king for Hades, he transformed into a human and asked around until an old man handed a kitten to Thanatos.
“Only the presence of life can make the feeling of loneliness disappear.”
The old man said to Thanatos.
Thanatos returned to Mount Olympus with the kitten in his arms, feeling doubtful. He did not even return to the underworld to report but went directly to Hypnos' residence.
"This thing seems to be able to help you solve the problem."
The kitten was handed to Hypnos, who had just woken up and was rubbing his eyes.
After seeing the kitten's big, round, watery eyes, Hypnos smiled.
"It's really interesting that Lord Thanatos actually brought me a kitten."
"If you don't like it, I can take it away."
"No, from today on, it's mine."
From that day on, Hypnos spent almost all his waking hours taking care of the kitten. Thanatos watched through the window several times and felt relieved after being convinced that his sister really liked the gift.
So every time he went to the human kingdom, he would bring back some small animals for her, rabbits, puppies, and even a sparrow.
When I hear sparrows.
Jinwu, who was still sobbing softly, suddenly shuddered.
"...Isn't that great? Your brother treats you so well, why do you hate him so much?"
Li Muhan couldn't help but interrupt and ask.
"Humph... He did all this just to pave the way for his subsequent evil deeds."
After being accompanied by more than a dozen little lives, Hypnos's feeling of loneliness disappeared.
She began to look forward to waking up, and when she woke up and found these little animals sleeping around her, the girl would hug them in her arms.
But such days did not last long.
Just after waking up from a very ordinary dream, those furry and warm feelings disappeared.
The girl propped herself up and called out to the children softly.
But there was no response.
So she slowly got out of bed and walked out of the temple.
Just in front of the temple, under the moonlight.
Hypnos saw that the lives that once surrounded her were now standing still and staring at her.
"...What happened to you?"
Hypnos walked over, squatted down, and wanted to touch the kitten, but her fingers froze as soon as they touched the kitten's head.
Because that body was now cold and stiff, she could no longer sense any breath of life in it...
