The palace has disappeared, and the "sun" in Ye Qing's hands has melted a huge hole in the underground world, and Ye Qing holds Leticia in one hand and stands on the hole to confront the Demon King.

"It's not Ophiuchus..." Leticia was also surprised, "Indeed, that sovereign is still with me, so what is this 'sun'?"

The girl's beautiful eyes looked at the man who held her in her arms, who was also her titular master.

Ye Qing didn't realize it, and looked at Hypnos, the god of sleep, solemnly: "This is not [Ophiuchus]'s sun sovereignty, but [Ophiuchus]'s shadow, the shadow zodiac named [Serpentis]! "

"You said the constellation of Serpents—" Sleeping God's pupils suddenly constricted, "You bastard...could you say that you have even drawn out the possibility of stars?"

The so-called [Zodiac] is the astronomers of the ancient Babylonian civilization. In order to mark the position of the sun on the ecliptic, the vernal equinox is used as the benchmark to divide a region (house) every 30 degrees, and each region corresponds to a month. , which is the twelve palaces.

But in the new era, when humans measure the zodiac again, due to the deflection of the earth's axis, the starry sky has changed, so [Ophiuchus] was added to form thirteen zodiac constellations.

And [Ophiuchus], among the eighty-eight constellations in the starry sky, is also a very special one.

[Ophiuchus] is the only one in the constellation that joins another constellation (Serpens).

At the same time, [Ophiuchus] is also the only constellation that spans the celestial equator, the Milky Way and the ecliptic.

The reason why it is the twenty-fifth sun is not accidental, but it has its own particularity that other constellations do not have.

The prototype of [Ophiuchus] in mythology is the disciple of the sage Chiron (Sagittarius), the son of Apollo and Kronis, the god of medicine, Asclebius.

Grieved by the unexpected death of his mother, he devoted his life to medicine, saving patients who had been abandoned by other doctors.

His medical skills became more and more superb, and eventually, he even acquired the ability to bring people back to life.

Asclebius never refused to come, and soon the death rate on the land dropped a lot.

Hades, the king of the underworld, feels uneasy, thinking that his existence will make the world no longer dead, and hell will be empty.Therefore, he protested to Zeus, the king of the gods, and let the king of gods kill Asclebius with thunder.

Afterwards, the God of Medicine was lifted up to the sky due to his merits and became [Ophiuchus].

And the boa constrictor wrapped around his waist, symbolizing the cycle of life and death, was also lifted into the sky together, which is the [Serpent] held by [Ophiuchus] with both hands.

In winter, after the snake "dies", the "corpse" will not rot, and it will come back to life in spring, so everyone believes that the snake has the ability to "return from the dead", and the snake husband symbolizes the person who masters "returning from the dead".

That is to say, [Ophiuchus] and [Serpens] are two constellations of one body. Taking [Ophiuchus] as the benchmark of the zodiac means taking [Ophiuchus] as a member of the zodiac.

The "giant snake" is the power controlled by the "snake driver", the shadow hidden by the thirteenth zodiac!

Originally, this was a power that even the pure-blooded vampires who possessed it couldn't discover it, but now it was guided by Ye Qing.

At this moment, Ye Qing clenched the [Giant Snake] tightly in his hand!

"Impossible, there must be something wrong!"

The Demon King of Nightmare shouted desperately, trying to deny everything about Ye Qing.

"Even if you are a hero, you are just a human being. How can you develop the possibility of constellations and do something that even the gods can't do! This kind of ridiculous thing—"

"This utterly ridiculous thing happened right in front of your eyes, Hypnos!"

Ye Qing held the golden sun disc, standing awe-inspiringly in the void.

"The so-called hero is by no means a 'person who has accomplished great feats' as you think, but a special existence that has overcome impossible trials. It is not a person who carries forward with his destiny on his back, but a person who breaks destiny.

Hypnos, when you think that [heroes] can be made, when you start this game full of the arrogance of gods, your "vision" has been distorted.

Hakoniwa gave you the permission to host [dream], isn't it appropriate?

You are just... a child who is still in a dream, weaving an imaginary world for self-satisfaction! "

The "sun" fell into Ye Qing's chest, and the afterglow turned into a sun-glowed sword.

Brilliantly burning like a pillar of flame in the sky.

"I have already solved this game." Ye Qing closed his eyes, "The answer is [Dream Awakening]."

Hypnos looked almost crazy, but Ye Qing spoke to him in a very flat tone.

"You are the god of sleep and the god of death in Sparta, the existence that makes all things fall into the world of dreams, but death and sleep are by no means the severance of the world!

Legend has it that the god of medicine (the snake man) was revered even after death and would sneak into the dreams of patients while they were sleeping.Although they cannot be cured, they will tell the patient what to do to get well.

[Snakeman] corresponds to you, a great existence that allows people to rest in their dreams and wake up to obtain a new life.

And [Giant Snake] is an existence that comes back to life and travels between sleep and death.

At this moment, let me wake you—the devil king of nightmares from your dream! "

Ye Qing clenched the divine sword of the sun wheel, the dragon fire of the sun that originally existed in his body began to resonate with [Serpentis].

Even the [Star Crown] is in a commotion over the arrival of the Chief of the Stars.

Just by holding this sword, this underworld hidden between dreams and reality began to collapse.

The top of the rock crumbles, the earth cracks, an infinite dark void and a bottomless abyss.

There is nothing beyond the eternal dream.

This little underworld is everything to Hypnos, and it is also the cradle and birdcage he made for himself.

"Ahhhh-!"

The God of Sleep began to dissolve in the radiance, the wings on his back were dispersed like smoke, and his handsome face was distorted accordingly.

"My dream...no, don't, humans—————————————————————————————!!!"

"Wake up, and—disappear!"

The divine sword extending into the void and the abyss seems to be able to divide the world, but in Ye Qing's hands, it is as slender as a silk thread.

His fingers slid across the light, outlining the trajectory of the realm in the void.

Another hand came up too.

"Hupnos..."

Leticia put her hand on the back of Ye Qing's, and the 【Snake】supported the 【Giant Snake】, blooming even more dazzling brilliance.

"Your dream should be over. After all, the brave man saves the girl, and the brave man who is kissed by the girl defeats the devil—isn't this what you're looking forward to?"

The two of them gathered together the sword of light that tore the world apart, and then swung it lightly——

"I......"

Hypnos muttered in the radiance, losing his shape.

When the game is over, his existence will also disappear together, which is the price that should be paid in the first place.

On this day, the sleeping god woke up.

On this day, the god of sleep died.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

[underwood] In the sky above, a shimmering sphere suddenly flashed and fell to the ground.

"Well......"

Leticia and Ye Qing opened their eyes, both breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that we have cleared that game."

"Ok?"

Ye Qing's expression changed, and he turned around to look.

Standing there were two petite girls, one was a cold girl with short silver hair, and the other was a former demon king wearing a black and white spotted princess dress.

Athena and Pest.

The moment Ye Qing turned around, the two of them seemed to want to make a move, but in the end they held back, their little faces tensed.

"Why are you here?"

Ye Qing was a little surprised: "Shouldn't those children be protected in the East District?"

"Hmph." Pest snorted, turned her head away and didn't speak.

And Athena said coldly: "The children are already safe, we came here to wait to confirm your life and death.

After such a long time, I thought you were sealed, but it turned out that you went to have fun with a woman, immersed in the gentle village and lost your way? "

What's going on, I always feel that Athena is angry, and her eyes are staring at...

"Oh!"

Ye Qing realized that he had been holding Leticia's hand the whole time, and let it go with a smile.

"Sorry, sorry."

"...I don't really mind." Leticia's eyes moved, "If the master likes it."

"Owner?"

Athena noticed the words of the vampire princess.

She looked at Ye Qing with horrifying eyes: "It's been a month since you saw each other, did you guys end up in such a shameful relationship?"

"Hey, hey, don't say it so harshly, it's just that there was a little accident inside, and you and I have the same relationship... Wait a minute, you said a month?"

Ye Qing frowned: "It should be less than three days since we separated."

"...You bastard, didn't you even notice the passage of time because you were enjoying yourself?"

Athena's expression looked like she saw something dirty.

"You two...what a shameless game did you play to forget yourself to such an extent?!"

"...Although it is indeed a game, it is probably not what you think."

"Wait, this state..." Pest, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Don't you two know how long you have been gone?"

Ye Qing and Leticia looked at each other, and they both vaguely guessed something in their hearts: Could it be that the time flow in the dream world is different from the outside world?

"You guys disappeared for twenty-seven days!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh--!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"
