Chapter 446: The Unfindable Passage
Boundless darkness, indescribable scenes.
It felt like drifting between existence and nonexistence, unable to distinguish inside from outside.
In the dream, Dionysus felt he had done many things and said many words.
In the realm of elusive light and shadow, he saw the sky falling and the earth shaking. Statues turned into human forms, replacing the old master's glory.
Starlight descended, rising from his own being.
A transaction, an exchange.
One descended underground for this, and another ascended to the mountain peak.
The eternal lost eternity, and light ascended in the darkness. As if pierced by the light through chaotic thoughts, Dionysus finally found himself once more.
Is this a dream, an endless earthly dream...
"...Wake up..."
"Wake up..."
"Wake up!"
"Hah—"
Awakened by the calling voice in the Nameless Valley.
Suddenly awakening, Dionysus found the piercing brightness difficult to withstand.
In front of him, Heracles looked at him with concern.
Clearly, the great hero hadn't expected his companion to suddenly fall into such deep sleep, nearly failing to wake up.
"Wait, stop calling, I'm already awake... Heracles, did I just suddenly fall asleep?"
Right hand holding his forehead, left hand stopping the large hand shaking his body.
Dionysus felt his head was somewhat foggy, as if he wasn't peacefully sleeping but was attacked in the dream.
Ah... Yes, and Amon too, he seemed to have dreamt about him.
In the dream, Amon asked if he still remembered the vows he had made. Dionysus naturally said he hadn't forgotten.
Although he is an undying deity, he has acknowledged this friend. He will carry his part, living forever in the Chaos World.
"...Dionysus, I don't know what exactly happened to you."
"After I solved Sphinx's three riddles, you fell into a coma here."
With a slight sigh of relief, seeing his companion finally awake, the great hero reached out and pulled him up from the ground.
"What happened, were you somehow ambushed?"
"This deep sleep doesn't seem to be natural."
"Perhaps... but it's already over now."
Slightly shaking his head, Dionysus tried to release the heaviness in his mind.
