Chapter 152 The Scythe Sacrifice and the Ancient God Overlooking the Abyss
That's absolutely impossible.

The Goddess of the Night gazes at the God of Fire with deep thought.The purpose of her return to this world is for her husband.Emerging and integrating the memories in her mind, she knows the truth more than anyone else.

When her will was no longer chaotic, she chose to come back.

Even though she was once the goddess of the night, she now embodies the law of the natural development of everything, but only this time, she will violate her divine right and make things no longer develop naturally.

The "scythe" at the end of time is not something that any god can defeat, or even an enemy that any god can make against it.

It was a monster, a monster in the skin of a woman!He destroyed one world after another, not because he wanted to, but because he could.It's like a mortal is breathing, that's the instinct of a mortal, and it's the most natural and easy thing that a mortal can do.

The Hemamene in his memory had countless opportunities to face him, but he didn't dare to, and wanted to run away early when he came.

Because His existence has surpassed Hermamene's imagination, she tried her best to find a way out, but she could barely see a vague word in the causal fate—flee!
So Hermamene dared not face it.

Hemamene didn't dare to face it, and with the help of external forces, how could Nix, who was struggling to defeat Hemamene with the help of a snake, dare to face it?

She inherited everything from Hermamene, and also accepted the path that Hermamene found out after a long exploration—escape!
There are various indications that what the "sickle" wants to destroy is the present world at a specific time point. As long as there are enough "sacrifices" left in the present world, he will not bother to care about one or two fled.

So the Knicks knew they could escape.

As long as there are enough sacrifices left in this world!

When she came, she had already made a difficult decision-giving up and blocking.

Give up your children and let them live here.Stop the gods who want to escape, and make them enter a long sleep waiting to wake up in this world.

Although... residence is eternal sleep, and eternal sleep is also eternal sleep.

But... there is always a sacrifice, isn't there?Eternal Sleep is not really dead...

Nix has chosen her husband, Erebus, the god of darkness, to flee with her.This candidate had already been decided the moment she woke up from her long sleep.

It's just that at that time she chose to wait and follow her theocracy. She believed that Erebus would become terrified as time went by, and she wanted to escape.

Because of the process of changing from firmness to fear and hesitation during the generation of these thoughts... Hermamene once had it...

Until... Nix met another Supreme in the chaos...

Nix was sure that the Supreme was very unstable.He has endless desires and regrets in his heart that he wants to fill, so he does not hesitate to map the people and things that were once destroyed to the people and things in this world.

At the last moment, He will definitely try to take the "sacrifice" out of this world-whether it is a large number of women or goddesses.

What he did would kill all the fleeing gods.

The more "sacrifices" brought into the world, the greater the possibility of "scythe" being held accountable.

Erebus must not hesitate any longer, his time is running out.As his wife, Nix was to hasten the signs of doom in this world.

To introduce more contradictions, let more gods fall into long sleep early, make Erebus's hesitation come early and escape with himself early.

As the husband who had been by his side since the beginning of the world, he had to make this choice!

Nix knew that the flame god in front of him would not be able to trap him for long.He thought he was going to fight a godly battle with little chance of winning, so he would cherish every ounce of strength.

For 200 years, his own energy consumption, can his background consume it?

So Nix didn't want to say any more. She neither admired nor despised these juniors who wanted to die.She turned into night and disappeared into the abyss, leaving behind a meaningful sentence: "You are different from all the Hephaestus killed by Hermamene."

"You are unlucky."

"You only want to try it when you see the "Sickle", but you don't know that this attempt is no different from being killed by Hermamene."

"So the essence of your resistance is actually the same."

"The only thing that has been changed is the process. Even if you are getting stronger, even if you are getting stronger in this world, your ending will not change, it is just failure."

Hephaestus just smiled: "Then you want me to accept the end of defeat?"

"is it possible?"

Feeling the ubiquitous night around him, Hephaestus didn't smile in his heart—the person who picked up Nix came.

He left the abyss in the form of nothingness, and set foot on the deserted path of Lemnos.

There is no light from the moon or stars, only constant darkness.

Everything is covered in the darkness, the eyes and ears are useless, and even the senses are gone.

But the will is still there.

The past emerged in Hephaestus' will, and he used the past as a reference, like a lost traveler groping forward with a map, so he walked very slowly.

Fortunately, he is not a lone traveler.In the darkness, there was always a voice talking to himself, like an invisible partner by his side.

"Nix came back to me early on. Her odd tone of voice made me guess if she was Hermamene or Nyx."

"But from the moment she came back, I knew she was my wife. I pretended not to recognize her, and wanted to keep her away from this world."

"She also joked with me to test my will, and wanted me to escape with her, but I ignored her."

"She told me that Eternal Sleep is not really dead, and the abandoned children still have the possibility of being expected."

"She is lying to herself. Eternal sleep is dead, and there is no possibility of returning even if you recite the name and taboo, until the surge of time wipes out all the remaining traces, and then declares that a god has truly died."

"But it's never us who are reincarnated, it's just a name, and the will born through the name will never go back to the past."

"I want to get to the bottom of it all."

"The future world will end by itself, and I am the end."

"..."

The voice from the darkness became muffled.

"Hephaestus, let her go when the time comes. She chose to flee and I chose to fight. Being together is just one person influencing the other."

"I don't want her to change, and I don't want to change myself."

"I will fight, at the end of time..."

Hephaestus seemed to be chatting: "But we seem to have nothing, no one is optimistic about us, I know, even Clotho is not optimistic about us."

A response came from the darkness: "Then are you afraid? Hephaestus."

"Fear is an emotion without a reason."

"I thought I'd be scared, but I wasn't. When I knew everything, I started to prepare. I can wait for you to come with me, and it doesn't hurt to fight alone."

"Even if I have nothing."

Hephaestus laughed: "Of course I'm not afraid."

"I dared to face Uranus when I was not great, but now that I am great, I dare to face you."

"I know that if I really fight, I will be at a disadvantage."

"But in the battle of gods, it's not just about strength, but also the determination and the confidence of both sides to fight to the death."

"Well said." The darkness cleared a corner, revealing the temple with the door open in front of Hephaestus. "The name taboo on the life bottle, do you want me to fetch it for you?"

Hephaestus entered the temple and returned to his throne on the threshold that separated the heaven from the earth.He bowed his head like an ancient god on his throne, looking down at the night in the abyss below.

"No." He replied.
