Chapter 481: 481

Chapter 481 I Have My Plan

There was a forest behind the hillside covered in valerian .

A wooden cottage lay hidden in the woods, its atmosphere breathtaking . Right outside, the clear water of a shallow creek glistened and trickled by, as ancient, unknown trees whose branches seem to be entwined with each other under some mysterious force were woven into a colossal umbrella, blocking out the sunlight .

Having the perfect lighting at almost all times of the day, it was probably that one cottage in the woods everyone didn’t mind having .

The owner of the wooden hut had a peculiar hobby . His pets were not the regular cat and dog, but a group of crows . These birds differed from their counterparts, silently perched on the roof without letting out a single caw as if they were fast asleep .

In the dark room, a pale man with wings suddenly woke up from his bed . Beads of sweat lined his forehead, and his eyes flickered . The most attractive part of him was the pair of wings that grew on his back . When spread out, they were at least four meters long and two meters wide . They seemed wide enough to fill the entire room .

The observant would quickly point out that his wings fluttered ever so slightly .

It was then that the sound of a harp playing came from outside . It’s soothing and melodic tune flowed through the house’s door and into the man’s ears, calming his mind . He sat up on the bed for a while, put on his slippers, and walked to the table where he picked up an unfinished bottle of Coke .

The sugar in the drink further calmed him down, and he couldn’t help but let out a sad sigh as he watched his slightly bulging belly . He then walked toward the door, stopping to throw the empty bottle into the trash can . When he saw the figure sitting on the sofa in the living room, he frowned and shook his head .

The strangely dressed older man on the sofa clapped after listening to the beautiful harp performance . “Thank you, Pasithea, for the amazing performance . I felt like I was in the golden halls of Vienna . And if I may, Pasithea, I raise my hat as a tribute to you!”

The woman with greying hair nodded in thanks . Putting away her harp, she sheepishly tiptoed out of the cabin, trembling under her skin .

When she walked to the door, the man looked at the old man warily, asking, “Why did you show up here . ”

The older man did not answer him . He paused for a while . “I still remember how beautiful she was among the Three Graces . Reminds me of Daphne . No wonder you couldn’t help but offend Zeus for her back then . How’s your back? I bet it doesn’t feel so good falling from such a high place . ”

“So, you’ve come here to laugh at us?”

“No, it’s just a shame that we can’t defy the laws of time . The once-powerful goddess is getting old . ”

“Pasithea isn’t in the best condition . After all, there are simply too few who know her name these days,” the man said . “It won’t be long before she disappears from this world . ”

“That’s a real shame,” the old man said . “It appears this is the fate of the old folks . After all, nothing goes against the law of time . One day the world will forget us all… eventually . ”

The man snorted coldly, “Is that right? I think you’ve been quite happy recently . Heard you went to Silicon Valley to find that guy . ”

“Hatred will not help us survive . Evolution is a natural law,” the old man went on, ignoring his counterpart’s jibe . “So, you are planning to betray us by following the laws of nature and joining the enemy?” The man took a knife from the wall and walked towards the older man . “Just listen to yourself! You are just as disgusting as those bastards . I should have warned the others about you . Oh, I almost forgot . Time is ruthless, and you only look forward but never look back, right?”

The latter shrugged . “Listen to what you are saying, Hypnos . You should know that no one cares about the past more than me . I still remember those names that have vanished from the hands of time . I’ve asked you to come to me no matter what you’re facing . My door will always be open to you . ”

Hypnos snorted coldly and sat down beside the older man . Snatching an apple from the fruit plate, he began peeling it with a knife . “This is a mistake . We shouldn’t have agreed to play the game in the first place . Instead, we should have followed the old traditions and gather everyone to fight them . Yes, we may be at a disadvantage, but we’ve won a war against the titans before . I don’t know what kind of brainwashing you’ve done to Zeus… Why would he accept such a ridiculous request?!”

“We can’t do that, unfortunately,” the old man explained patiently . “This is completely different from the war with the Titans . Judging by the current situation, we’ll be dead in no time if we keep fighting . ” “Not for me,” Hypnos replied . “Pasithea is too weak to wait until the next round . I must help her to achieve results in the next round . ”

“Chosen anyone yet?”

“Yes, I did meet a candidate this time . The girl’s name is Shen Xixi . I’ve been following her for a while… but I saw something else in the dream this time…” When Hypnos thought about the terrible scene that he saw, he couldn’t help but shudder . He then saw the corners of the older man’s mouth turning upwards . Quickly realizing something, Hypnos replied vigilantly, “You came to me because of this?”

“That’s right,” the old man admitted, “I hope you can forget the things you saw . ”

“Is he related to you?” Hypnos bit the apple .

“I am doing it for your own good . Knowing too much is not a good thing sometimes,” the old man said .

“Are you crazy? Why did you provoke that thing?!” Hypnos asked angrily,” Don’t we already have enough enemies now? Even they don’t dare mess with that thing . If that thing is awakened, we will be greeted with an all-out disaster! Thanks to the stupid works of mortals, its name is now widely known to everyone . Not even our combined force defeats it . Put a little finger on it . Didn’t you see it? His name is in the newspapers, novels, movies, and games!”

“Calm down, calm down, Hypnos . I only did this because I’ve actually come up with a plan,” the old man replied leisurely . “So far, the situation is still under my control . In exchange, I can help Pasithea to find an excellent agent . Well, you can’t pick the girl named Shen Xixi because someone else is already watching her… She has entered the trial phase . As for Seth, I can also help you deal with him and prevent him from making multiples copies of Dreamland of Death . Once I deal with him, you don’t have to run here and there anymore . ”
