But... Hypnos gave a helpless smile in his heart. The reason why Thanatos' power could be greatly improved was probably that only one reason.
But in this way, it may be difficult to improve my sleep quality for quite a long time, alas~.
"Damn it!" Hypnos suddenly cursed inwardly. He had already foreseen the days in the future when he would have to accompany Thanatos and work hard to capture souls.
He really didn't get any benefits at all! But he had a lot of troubles! Hypnos looked at his mother with a sad face, secretly complaining in his heart.
However, when his eyes met his mother's, he was surprised to find that she was also looking at them. There was a knowing smile in her eyes, as if she had already seen through everything.
At the same time, the threatening look of the God of Darkness disappeared, and seemed to be smiling. Hypnos couldn't help but feel depressed and felt that his life was really not worth it!
In contrast, Thanatos was completely immersed in the joy of his increased strength. This sudden increase made him close his eyes and feel the surging power with his whole body and soul.
Time passed minute by minute, until the battle on earth was about to end, Thanatos slowly opened his eyes.
After waking up, Thanatos was extremely excited and couldn't wait to show off to his brother and mother: "Mother, do you know? I feel like I'm about to break through to the powerful divine power! Hehe~ Hypnos, this time I'm one step ahead of you!" He shouted to Hypnos without any concealment, his face filled with pride and complacency.
"Ah, that's great, congratulations, congratulations." Hypnos responded impatiently, seemingly not interested in Thanatos' breakthrough.
However, Nyx was different. She hugged Erebus's arm affectionately, with a barely perceptible smile on her face, as if she was watching a good show.
She knew what was going to happen next, and was looking forward to Thanatos's reaction when he discovered the truth.
"What, Hypnos, why are you treating me like this? Humph~ Aren't you happy that I made a breakthrough?" Thanatos looked at his twin brother with dissatisfaction, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly arose in his heart.
He began to doubt whether Hypnos was really happy for him, or whether it was because he was one step ahead and about to gain powerful divine power that made Hypnos jealous and dissatisfied.
At this moment, Thanatos' heart suddenly skipped a beat. Was it because he was about to surpass Hypnos that he showed such an indifferent attitude?
Hypnos noticed the change in Thanatos, but he didn't care. He just looked at Thanatos who was hiding in the dark cloak and winking at him, and said coldly: "It's too early for you to be happy. You should feel your current strength first!"
"Condition? What condition?" Thanatos was full of doubts. He didn't understand why Hypnos said that. Could there still be problems after the power was increased?
However, he quickly dispelled his doubts and confidently believed that this was just Hypnos deliberately trying to scare him. What trouble could there be?
Thanatos began to examine his origin and godhood with doubts. His face was full of depression, and he muttered to himself: "Isn't there nothing wrong? Everything is normal? Aren't these the power brought by life and death!"
Wait! Thanatos's expression suddenly became stiff. Life and death... He suddenly remembered the important thing that he had just ignored.
He hurriedly checked the reminder left by his Law of Death. He was so excited about his increased strength that he subconsciously ignored the message.
Thinking back now, he always felt that something was wrong. Why would the Law of Death come to him for no reason? Besides, the improvement of his strength also meant that it would be strengthened.
Thanatos quickly sensed this hint, which roughly meant: When all the souls on earth return to the underworld, it is time for you to break through to the realm of powerful divine power... and other similar words.
The expression on Thanatos's face seemed to be wiped out in an instant as if by an invisible hand, replaced by sadness and helplessness.
"Yes! Death brings power..." He muttered to himself, his voice trembling. He suddenly remembered the scene he had experienced before. How long would he be busy this time?
Now it seems that he was too naive. The excitement and pride he just felt made him forget the price behind it and the source of his strength.
Thanatos stiffened his neck, turned his head with difficulty, forced a flattering smile on his face, and whispered softly: "Hypnos, you won't just stand by and watch, right? You will definitely help me, right? After all, I am your twin brother!"
However, Hypnos recalled Thanatos's smug look and decided to ignore him for the time being, inevitably feeling a little unhappy in his heart.
"Hmph~" Hypnos snorted and turned his head to the other side, leaving only the back of his head to Thanatos.
"Don't be like this! I know I was wrong, but you can't just watch me work for thousands of years and do nothing!" Thanatos knew exactly what he was capable of, and if he were left to face it alone, he would surely be exhausted.
So, he moved closer with a big smile on his face, trying his best to get his brother's help.
"Okay, Thanatos, can't you see that Hypnos is teasing you?" Finally, Nyx couldn't bear it anymore, and with a playful smile on her lips, she began to persuade him.
"You will be busy in the next few thousand years, so cherish your leisure time now!" Knicks teased the two brothers with a slightly gloating expression.
Although the other Hades tried to suppress their laughter, they were secretly delighted in their hearts.
At first, they were full of envy for Thanatos' good luck, and even wished they could bear this "happiness" on his behalf.
But now, they have changed their attitude and started laughing, come on, don't come to us!
We wild boars are not used to eating such delicate food, so we have to rely on our own efforts. For a moment, there was a sense of helplessness and self-mockery.
Despite their tough words, the occasional envy in their eyes shows that they are not completely without thoughts deep in their hearts.
Hypnos coughed twice, stopped teasing his brother, and said calmly: "Don't worry, we won't let you face so many souls alone. I will definitely help you."
