Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
61. Universe Memory (3)

"Welcome to the library of the universe, Arin."

When he said that, all the sounds in that place stopped immediately and time stopped running.

"Include me Protogonos, guard of this place"

A green circle of light was visible on his back like an emblem of his enormous power. His voice sounded friendly and a sweet smile formed on his feet face.

"Library of the universe?"

"True, this is where all the questions and answers about the universe are recorded. A place that has no boundaries and barriers. This is the library of the universe" Protogonus raised his hand and a fairly thick book floated into his hand.

"Arin, I know there are a lot of questions in your mind, be it about the world you are in, or even yourself" Arin immediately asked.

"What does it mean that I can find the answers to all my questions here?!" His eyes radiated a light of hope and a strong desire to know himself.

"You can, but on the other hand you should know that there are some things you should never know even if it's about yourself" Protogonus's remark confused Arin, the look in the man's eyes now seemed so mysterious but also gentle at the same time. It was as if he was trying to warn Arin something, something that was hidden within Arin and should not be known to anyone even Arin himself.

"I can't help you find that answer, but since you've passed my test then I'll give you a gift" he flicked his finger and the sound of footsteps rang out.

"Arin, I know you're now afraid of many things, afraid that one day everyone will leave you, and that everyone will leave you, afraid that one day someone you trust will leave you the same way you were separated from him.."

"Therefore I will give you a friend who will always be with you.a doll that will continue to be by your side"

From one of the hallways a young man seemed to walk out, Arin's eyes seemed to widen perfectly when he realized how similar the figure was to someone but with different eye and hair colors. His hair was pale brown and his eyes were as beautiful as a emerald, but the thing that made Arin so surprised was the face and posture of the young man.

"Sir Novan? No wait-" the figure seemed to have a blank look like it was without a soul, it was the figure of the young man he saw at the altar. A doll made from the trunk of a world tree that sustains the library of the universe, as well as a figure taken from Arin's deepest hope.

"From now on he will accompany you"

The figure is Novan who has physical characteristics like himself, the form of taste and hope Arin who wants Novan is his own brother. Protogonus had long since noticed Arin and Novan that he knew everything, and in him was in fact beset with a sense of guilt as he looked at this child before him. The same feeling as Hopeless. A feeling that must be borne by a person who knows all the secrets that no one knows.

Protogonus knew that a time would come when a great storm sweeping across the universe would reappear, a storm that he had seen repeatedly and in the storm he always saw Arin and Novan were adrift. The sadness, suffering, passion and sincerity he witnessed from Arin and Novan made him take this great step.

'sorry son, but this time roundabout.you must part with Novan' Inner Protogonos. Protogonos realizes that the way to stop the two is to keep them away, make Novan more independent and make Arin in a safe place and for Arin to be able to stay away from Novan, he needed another figure who could replace Novan and the figure he made was Ivan, the opposite of Novan. Now in front of him Ivan seemed to approach Arin and smile.

"My sister.." the soft voice of the doll was so similar to Novan, the voice and word Arin had always hoped for was now spoken by the doll. Making Arin's eyes instantly sparkle but then a blood red dagger suddenly almost hit the doll.

All eyes were now on the dagger and from above the air a portal so dark and black was visible. "I didn't expect you to do anything so far, Protogonos" a familiar voice sounded and a golden key seemed to shine in the figure's hand.

"Hopelessness.."

Hopeless came there with a portal and the key to the library, his face looked displeased and from inside the portal a shadow then shot out and quickly attacked Ivan. The sword of light that appeared in Ivan's hand now collided with Novan's blood-red dagger.

The green and red eyes of the two people looked at each other and the aura of hostility was clearly visible between the two like angels and demons meeting each other.

"Whose sister did you just call your sister huh?"

The golden and red light clashed against each other as their two weapons clashed against each other. The puppet made by Protogonos can not be underestimated, his strength, his movements even the way he made decisions is exactly the same as Novan. Reinforcing evidence that Protogonos actually made a duplicate of Novan. Weapons that clashed every time the two moved to start a new attack made Novan recall the shadowy figure he had encountered in Leviathan's world.

"This does not correspond to what we have planned, Protogonos" Meanwhile Hopeless begins to question Protogonos' decision. In the eyes of Hopeless the attitude and choice of Protogonus was so arrogant and baseless, but instead of fearing Protogonus instead stood beside Arin.

"And do you think the world will not cease to repeat itself if we take the same path?" His voice sounded resolute and annoyed, his eyes staring at Hopeless with a look no longer friendly. "The world will never change in the absence of change, Hypnos!" Hopeless was now silent for a moment and her eyes that were enveloped by the aura of darkness were now staring straight at Protogonos.

Hopeless or original identity as Hypnos the sleeping god looked at Protogonos with a sharp gaze "And you think this is the right way? don't you know that this could ruin the plans we've made for thousands of years to destroy the gods' power?!" such a powerful pressure and aura of dominance was seen from the eyes of Hypnos who continued to stare towards Protogonos.

As the sounds of swords and daggers clashing now drifted away from each other, Novan retreated to the side of Hypnos while Ivan was now in front of Arin and Protogonus, suggesting that there was a strong divide.

"so you mean you don't care if the world keeps repeating itself? You have no problem seeing the suffering of the person who is now beside us?" Protogonus stared at Arin and Novan in turn, his gaze looking so sad and frustrated, like a father who did not want to see his children suffer anymore.

"I've lived here for billions of years, and I realized that the only way to end this vicious cycle is this way.."

"To stop the world from repeating itself, these two children must be far apart"
