Chapter 58 The Stuck God of Sleep
"Appreciate further details."
Faced with the angry look of Nyx who had lost his initial momentum, Ryan said with interest.
The previous gods who had their priesthood intercepted by him in advance only had reduced power at most, but those gods were all born in the form of intercourse. He really didn't know what extra trouble it would bring to Nyx if a god like this who was "impregnated by heaven" lost his priesthood.
Taking a deep breath, Nyx looked at Ryan through the veil of the black dress, and slowly said:
"You should know that as the original god who lives with the world, we have the difference between our true body and our personal incarnation."
Nodding slightly, after so many years, Ryan knew a lot more about the original gods. Unlike at the beginning, we can only speculate from the myths of later generations.
"Know something. Your body is part of the world. If you think of the world as a person, then they are different sides of the world."
"But after personification, you are separated from the world. Of course, from now on, you no longer have a complete personality."
As Ryan has known for a long time, for the original gods, the children born from the original body have no essential relationship with their personified divine bodies.
Mother Earth gave birth to children with Uranus and Pontos one after another. This is actually the same logic - for her, these three gods are at best her nominal heirs and are 'bred by the earth', but they do not mean that she was conceived by Gaia. .
Therefore, Nyx and Erebus are actually a pure brother-sister relationship, which is not the same thing as the so-called husband and wife in later generations.
"That's it. Our ontology is an aspect of the world, so when the laws of the world are shaken, it is very likely to be 'conceived by the heavens' and a new god will be born."
With that said, Nyx glared at Ryan again.
"So you absorb Chaos' power, that's your business, but can you not only absorb half of it?!"
".!"
Ryan was a little confused before, but as soon as these words came out, he instantly understood the cause and effect.
Unlike [Death], which is so weak that it is almost non-existent, [Sleep] has a part in the material realm. In other words, most of the authority has both, spirituality and materiality, the two are opposite but unified. They intermingled with each other to give birth to most concepts in the world.
So just like the spiritual world can only hold half of the power of [life], the same is true for sleep. Theoretically, the remaining share can still give birth to a weakened version of the God of Sleep, but this time he is not as powerful as recorded in the myth, and he no longer has the power to put the God King to sleep.
But perhaps because of the different gestation methods, although the God of Death had no chance of being born, Hypnos, the God of Sleep, also had a small accident.
"So what you are saying is that the embryo of the Sleeping God was conceived according to the complete authority of [Sleep], and it should also come with three thousand attached [Dream] gods. But now, because the source power was sucked away by me in advance, so Is his birth 'stuck'?"
Ryan tried his best to keep his expression the same. Although he knew that Nyx was not equated with her true form, he still couldn't help but laugh a little when he thought that she had a half-pregnant son of God who was 'stuck'.
"You'd better not laugh, or I'll make it impossible for you to laugh again!"
A faint voice came from behind the ever-changing black veil, and an inexplicable chill enveloped Ryan.
But to this day, Ryan is no longer the same person he was before reincarnation, so his expression remained unchanged and was not affected at all. Instead, he thought for a while, and then said seriously:
"Regarding this matter, His Highness Nyx, I deeply sympathize with your experience."
"But judging from the current situation, I have three ways to solve your trouble."
"."
Without asking at all, Nyx continued to look at Ryan with a death gaze, as if he was considering how to strike.
Seeing this, Ryan directly stated his method.
"The first type is the simplest, but also consumes the most."
Tilting his head, Ryan glanced at the bottom of the Underworld, where Tartarus was.
The Cyclops and the Hundred-Armed Giant were imprisoned there, and the laws left by Uranus were still restricting them. As long as the reigning God-King did not forgive them, they would not be able to get out of the abyss.
"Just like the Earth Mother, you can consume the source to make up for this missing part. But the price is that I don't guarantee what the offspring will be, but there is a high probability that it will be a monster with a priesthood, and the Cyclops is already the more beautiful among them. .”
"Continue." Ms. Ye was obviously not satisfied with this answer.
Not to mention monsters, even true gods, she doesn’t want them.
Khaos brought his own dry food, and it was already annoying enough for her to be a 'surrogate mother'. It was a complete dream to expect her to consume her own strength.
"The second method is a bit painful."
Ryan didn't expect Nyx to agree. In fact, the only option he really preferred was the last option.
"Do you still remember your former Heavenly Father? Since Ouranos can return the Twelve Titans to the womb of Mother Earth, then as long as we adopt a similar method, we can naturally take out the gestating embryos."
"The true God is immortal anyway, so let him be an embryo outside the body that will never mature."
Lane's advice was cold, but neither he nor Nyx cared. For the latter, she doesn't even want to look at the burdens that the world forces on her body. As for Ryan, a being who has not even been born with wisdom, he also doesn't care whether the other party exists or not.
"What about the third method?"
There was some movement, but recalling Gaia's painful wailing, Nyx still wanted to hear the last option.
What's more, this kind of behavior that obviously violates the laws of this world will not only bring pain, but will also inevitably lead to punishment in this world.
"The last option is to give it to me." Ryan said calmly: "I will give it sleep and power again, but it will also be eroded by the spirit world, re-gestated, and born in an alternative way. "
"The spiritual world cannot corrode pure matter, but gods are difficult to measure in terms of spirituality or matter. I am more inclined to believe that divinity itself is both."
The eyes behind the veil narrowed slightly, and Nyx seemed to react.
"This is the solution you really want. No matter when you don't suffer a loss, you can always find some way to gain benefits. As expected of you, His Highness Ryan."
However, Ryan's solution satisfied her, so she just mocked it and was already planning to accept it.
Ryan was not angry at all about this. After all, as Nicks said, he had never suffered a loss because of this.
"So what's your decision?"
"It's yours." Nyx's answer was without hesitation: "The source of power forced by Chaos, I never want to see it again."
