"Issei Hyoudou... Vali Lucifer..." Ophis and Lilith watched the two fall on the light screen. Though their faces remained expressionless, their contracting pupils betrayed their inner emotions.
Seeing this, the two didn't dare sit idly by. They pressed their palms together and touched their foreheads, sending a powerful surge of black dragon power straight into the sky.
'Great Red, you should know the situation by now. Use your power of [Dream] to awaken the White Dragon Emperor from Hypnos's Sleep.' Something unexpected happened: Ophis actually took the initiative to plead for help from her enemy, Great Red.
In the Dimensional Gap at that moment, the flying Great Red received Ophis's telepathic message and said, "Ah, I've already learned of the situation through the others in the Underworld. I will step in to save the White Dragon Emperor."
'Stand up! Issei Hyoudou, Vali Lucifer! Stand up once more under the influence of our [Infinite] power, Two Heavenly Dragons!!' Ophis and Lilith, their foreheads still pressed together, shouted in their hearts.
Previously, Issei Hyoudou and Vali had resonated with the [Infinite] of the Infinite Dragon God Ophis, leading to the birth of their respective strongest forms: "Dragon Godification" and "Diabolos Dragon Lucifer."
Therefore, Ophis and Lilith could also transmit power to Issei Hyoudou and Vali.
Far away in Elysium, an Ouroboros pattern of the infinity symbol appeared on Issei Hyoudou and Vali. A flame-like purple light covered them. Issei Hyoudou's body gradually recovered, and his physical strength rose significantly.
It also nurtured Ddraig's dragon soul, which had been gnawed by the vengeful spirits, allowing it to recover.
Although Vali and Albion were in the same situation, they were still trapped in Hypnos's Eternal Sleep, immersed in the sweet Dreams woven by Hypnos.
Within the Dream...
Vali returned to his childhood. Here, there was no domestic violence from his father and grandfather; there was only a happy life with his mother. He could play and frolic with his beloved mother and act like a spoiled child in an intimate way. It was essentially his ideal childhood life.
Meanwhile, Albion returned to the period of the Great War of Three Factions. He had defeated Ddraig and struck down the leaders of the three factions. After that, he campaigned everywhere, subjugating the powerhouses of various mythological systems. Finally, even the two great Dragon Gods fell beneath his wings, and he became the strongest dragon in the world—the True White Dragon God Emperor.
Their ideals had become reality, causing this pair of partners to instantly forget their original purpose.
"Vali Lucifer, Albion, wake up." At that moment, a deep, powerful voice rang out within the Dream, pulling Vali and Albion out and placing them in a crimson space.
"Mother..."
"I shall become the strongest dragon in the world!!"
Clearly, this man and dragon had not yet escaped from their sweet Dreams, as they were still talking in their Sleep.
Great Red looked at the pathetic state of these two fellows. He ground his teeth in anger, veins popping on his head, and delivered two wing strikes directly to their heads.
Duang! Duang!
Fortunately, this was in a Dream; otherwise, Albion and Vali might have died instantly from that attack. However, the pain was still real, and the two of them came to their senses with bumps on their heads.
"That hurts!!"
"What's going on?! Was everything I just experienced fake?!"
"Great Red!!"
Vali and Albion looked around, speaking in a daze, and only quieted down after seeing Great Red.
Seeing that they had emerged from the Dream, Great Red spoke: "You've finally woken up. No matter how good a Dream is, a Dream is ultimately just a Dream."
"Sorry..."
Hearing Great Red's words, Vali and Albion both lowered their heads. Their expressions were partly remorseful and partly lingering on the Dream.
Then, Great Red gave a powerful flap of his wings and said to Vali and Albion, "Go back! Return to Elysium and defeat Hades and the others!!"
Vali and Albion's figures instantly vanished from that space, their consciousness returning to their bodies.
After they left, Great Red's breathing became somewhat labored, and sweat poured from his head. He panted continuously, saying, "Hahaha! I didn't expect that dispelling Hypnos's Eternal Sleep would actually consume all of my [Dream] power."
The power levels of Hypnos and Great Red were far apart. Even for the strongest being in this world who possessed the power of [Dream], dispelling Hypnos's [Sleep] had exhausted all of his energy and [Dream] power.
Elysium.
Issei Hyoudou and Vali, covered in purple flame-like light, regained their breath. Then, with a twitch of their fingers, the Balance Breaker armor reappeared on both of them as they slowly stood up.
"Didn't expect that, did you, Hypnos and Thanatos? We're back."
"This time, we will definitely defeat you."
Completely recovered, Issei Hyoudou and Vali looked at the Twin Gods, their fists clenched tightly, speaking with intense fighting spirit.
Hypnos looked at the Infinite Ouroboros patterns on them and analyzed slightly, "The pattern of infinity and Ouroboros, as well as the auras of [Infinite] and [Dream]... So, the two great Dragon Gods have intervened."
"Hmph! Don't think that just because you have the help of the two great Dragon Gods, you can defeat us!!" Thanatos snorted coldly as he watched the two stand up again as if resurrected.
As he spoke, a sphere of lightning appeared in each of his palms, and he threw them at Issei Hyoudou and Vali.
A brilliant hemispherical flash of lightning rose from the spot where the lightning spheres hit. Confident that his technique had surely obliterated Issei Hyoudou and Vali, Thanatos let out a confident laugh:
"Hehehehe! Be blown to bits and scattered everywhere!! The level of us Gods of the Underworld is not comparable to the gods you've encountered before!!"
When the lightning dissipated, two different voices came through:
"What powerful lightning! It's even stronger than any lightning master I encountered when I was alive!!"
"Yeah! If we hadn't used Transfer and Divide in time, we would have been turned to charcoal!!"
The Twin Gods, Issei Hyoudou, and Vali all looked at the scene before them in astonishment. Two new figures, clad in the Balance Breaker armor of the [boosted gear] and [Divine Dividing], stood in front of Issei Hyoudou and Vali.
However, parts of the armor on their bodies were slowly turning into particles and dissipating, only to be restored to their original state immediately.
