Chapter 897: Chapter 363: Three-headed Dog and Contract
Swish—
Involuntarily, his left hand reached out, only to grasp at thin air.
In just an instant, the [Trident of the Sea Emperor] plummeted into the seabed before the eyes of the God of Sleep and then vanished without a trace.
This divine artifact, initially forged by the divine authority of Tsunami, merged with the sea surface in an instant and then withdrew from this place fraught with peril.
Even if Hypnos’s divine power greatly surpassed it, he could only vaguely discern the direction in which the other party had fled.
But no one could retrieve the divine artifact deliberately concealed by the sea god, unless Chaos could give birth to a supreme being truly wielding dominion over ocean and water.
Moreover, at this very moment, an immense sense of alarm had already assaulted the heart of the God of Sleep.
The Divine King of the present world was about to arrive, and if he dared to delay any further, he might not be able to escape.
Even now, he could feel that indescribable pressure.
With a flip of his palm, Hypnos sent Poseidon’s ‘existence’ directly into the temporal rift torn open by the Serpent of the Central Court and then turned to leave.
This rift led straight to the Nine Hells, a passage maintained by planar forces.
As long as Poseidon entered here, his task would be considered complete.
As for why he didn’t go in himself…
Naturally, it was because he couldn’t enter at all.
“Tartarus…”
He dashed into the sea, arriving at a fissure that led directly to the gateway to the Underworld.
On land as well as the seabed, there are many such fissures.
And no matter from which location one descends, the final destination would either be the subterranean world or the gates of the Underworld.
Taking a detour through the Underworld to return to Hell was the only way for Hypnos to go back.
The reason was simple: as a lord with command over a layer of Hell’s plane’s force, the God of Sleep would be instinctively rejected by the Abyss.
Just as the twin planes would not target the Sea God or this contemporary deity fundamentally akin to a ‘sacrifice,’ it did not mean they would allow Hypnos free access in and out.
Thus, if the God of Sleep wished to travel between Hell and the Mortal Realm, he could either go through the portal of the Underworld or hold a grand sacrificial ceremony substantial enough in the Mortal Realm to shield against the Abyss’s perception.
Or possess strength powerful enough to disregard the instincts of Tartarus.
However, for Hypnos at this moment, there was clearly only one option.
That was to take the legitimate gateway, traversing the great gates of the Underworld.
“Hiss…”
It seemed like a long time had passed, yet from the moment Poseidon took action, it was just a momentary affair.
The divine artifact transformed into divine light and escaped through the seawater, and the young deity too had left the Mortal Realm.
On the vast ocean, only a silhouette bathed in the moonlight remained.
Without substance, it was merely a manifestation of power.
The dark shadow slithered, spiraling from southeast to northwest across the earth.
Under the pillars far to the extreme west, the titan holding up the sky slightly bowed his head and also perceived the fleeting shadow and hiss.
Whoosh—
So… What profession should he choose?
After a moment of contemplation, Cao Xing directly chose “Frost Mage.”
A system prompt appeared.
“Congratulations! You have successfully chosen the profession: Frost Mage. Elemental Affinity unlocked, slightly increased Cold Resistance, and initial equipment placed in Storage Box.”
Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to search for the initial Storage Box, a second system prompt solemnly appeared!
[Detected that Survivor ‘Cao Xing’s fate aligns with this world. Personal Talent: Eternal Power has been activated.]
[Eternal Power (Hidden Unique Talent)]: Causes all friendly units within the territory to gain permanent enhanced status when receiving temporary enhanced status.
Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, “Holy shit! Cheat mode activated!”
“Brother… Principal God?”
“Hehehehe… and here I thought you would thank me, Zeus.”
“After all, without Poseidon, the sea lacks a nominal master.”
“And if they don’t wish to submit to the Ocean God, the offspring of the Ancient Sea God would have to abandon their previously non-aligned stance and opt to join your Divine Court.”
“Thinking about it, maybe I am actually acting under your instructions.”
“After all, to the Divine King, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests…”
The deep laughter, accompanied by the serpent’s hiss, resounded across the ocean, and Zeus’s face visibly soured.
Indeed, realizing that Poseidon might be suppressed and taken away, his first reaction was just like that.

But now, the other had preemptively spoken out his thoughts.
“Enough!”
“You, evil god from Tartarus, the remnant of the beginning of creation—your very existence is a sin!”
Stepping forward, Zeus discarded his original thoughts.
He had wanted to probe for information from the other, but now it seemed, this Ancient Serpent from the Abyss was not an entity to be taken lightly.
Thus, he fabricated a background on the spot and summoned his thunder.
Since there was no need for dialogue, then with the other’s existence, he would prove his own power.
“Now, in the name of the King of All Gods.”
“Monster… I bestow upon you death.”
Zeus’s gaze turned icy, his peripheral vision sweeping over the ocean.
His plans had been spoken out loud, but what of it?
Without Poseidon here, the promise he made to him was meaningless.
