Mythology: Spiritual Ruler - Chapter 543
Swish——
Leaving behind the split off body, the trajectory of [Death Star] did not deviate at all.
Seeing the huge celestial body leaving at an extraordinary speed, Dionysus immediately rushed out from behind the meteorite.
This position is still very dangerous, but since this chaotic monster did not stop at the first time, it basically has no chance of making a comeback.
So for him, the most urgent problem at this moment is to kill the evil body that has just been split off in the bud.
Right in front of Dionysus, in just a moment, the fallen body fragments curled up into a small sphere, emitting invisible suction outward.
The surrounding meteorites were also affected by it, gathering together, attaching to its surface, and then stained with the same traces bit by bit.
This is the infectious power of the evil thing. As long as you give it a seed, it will soon return you a piece of forest land.
Dionysus didn’t know whether the ancient Titans in the depths of the starry sky had encountered the [Death Star] and whether they were troubled by it.
But at least for him, he needed to destroy this clone that fell from the main body of the planet as soon as possible.
He took out a short stick from his arms, and then after a short moment, it turned into a scepter with a crown on the top.
The lines that looked like grape vines surrounded it, like runes inlaid on the body of the stick.
This was the weapon that Dionysus brought out from Olympus, and it was also the tool he had prepared for himself to cast spells – it was a pity that Zeus didn’t spend too much time collecting ways for spellcasters to increase their power, so he had never achieved anything in this regard.
To be fair, Dionysus was very interested in those wizards who mastered elements and spirits, especially the so-called “ritual magic” that circulated among them, which made him very curious.
It was a pity that there was no knowledge of witchcraft, and there was no relevant reserve in the countries of the continent, and with his current ability, there was no possibility of creating it himself.
“Roaming the sky, my all-powerful father… the ruler of Olympus, the sky, the sea, and the mountains.”
“From the deepest valley to the stars under the silver moon, in the name of the king, I pronounce you guilty.”
“O creature of the fallen starry sky… you will surely meet your end.”
Reciting in his heart, it is more like a hymn of praise than a spell.
Dionysus raised his staff, the flower crown on the top flickered gently, and then threw it far away at the evil clone that had just begun to shape the star.
In an instant, the staff passed through the void and finally firmly inserted into the scarlet sphere.
The lines on the staff flickered slightly, and a grape vine immediately turned into a solid.
Its hem took root on the surface of the star and began to absorb the essence of it.
This is the way Dionysus chose to fight the enemy. It’s not that he couldn’t try to do it himself, but calling on the divine power left in his staff by Zeus before leaving is undoubtedly more cost-effective.
Because he had already verified it before. Just as the great God King claimed, everything in the world belongs to him, even the evil spirits outside the domain.
Under Dionysus’s gaze, the vines pulsated like blood vessels, and on the staff, silver lightning flashed one after another.
The power that instinctively eroded everything was easily bound by Zeus’s thunder and lightning, and even wrapped in the arcs.
This is thunder and lightning. Among the powers of the gods, the power of the God King is the only one that is not incompatible with the power of evil things. In many cases, he can even make some weak evil things feel “fearful”.
In some remote areas of the human world, or in primitive tribes that have never communicated with the human kingdoms of the faith, there are many mortals who believe that thunder and lightning are naturally the nemesis of evil. It can drive away pollution and eliminate disasters.
In this regard, Dionysus naturally does not know why. However, considering that Zeus’s power is higher than that of the gods, he naturally attributed it to the power shared by the great ones.
Just like the rulers of the world are still the gods, since the origin of the evil power cannot break free, then they themselves naturally cannot escape from the restraint of the God King.
“Very good, very smooth.”
“Next, as long as [Death Star] has no other reaction, the trouble here can be easily overcome.”
“Under the power of the Father God, as long as it is not the body of the ancient evil, it is not a problem for me.”
I felt a little relieved. The battle in the distant starry sky was still going on. Dionysus didn’t know whether they had noticed the arrival of the ancient evil, but it was not his turn to worry about it.
It was okay. If he had known it was so smooth, he wouldn’t have asked Amon to return to the star shuttle… But since it has been dealt with now, should he go back and ask him to come and see, so as to see the power of the evil outside the domain?
“–Dionysus, be careful!”
He lowered his head and thought, and the scepter was maintained by Zeus’s divine power.
But at this moment, a sudden warning sound came from behind Dionysus.
It was Amon’s voice, and he was not far behind him. Without time to think about why he was here, the son of the God King raised his head.
The next moment, he saw a crack appear on the scarlet sphere that was shrinking under the pressure of his scepter just after landing.
Just like the crack on the main body of the [Death Star], at a glance, it was as if staring into the abyss.
Greed, killing, destruction, possession, love, attachment… contradictory yet unified emotions appeared simultaneously in the long black crack, as if thousands of different people were talking to him.
Instantly, Dionysus’s mind was in a trance.
He understood that the ancient evil creature’s cutting off a fragment of its own body was just a cover, and it did not intend to capture him with it.
After all, for the [Star of Death], the gods cannot be killed. Moreover, although it does not have a stable rationality, it can perceive the source of the threat more clearly.
It knows that Dionysus has enough power to fight it. Zeus himself may be able to hide his whereabouts in front of him, but the divine power he left behind cannot.
The violent thunder of the Lord of Ten Thousand Thunders is stored in the cane, guarding the safety of the son of the God King.
So at this moment, the scarlet star that was originally suppressed by Dionysus’s cane suddenly turned brown, just like life transformed into death.
In the crack that split from the center, a hidden stream of light flashed past and rushed straight into Dionysus’ eyes.
This is a mark and a seed of parasitism. Like the corrupted sun, [Death Star] tried to turn this weakest god it had ever seen into a carrier of its power, and enter the human world from the starry sky in a way that was closer to what Chaos allowed.
Cold sweat broke out from behind, and it might be too late even if the staff was recalled.
Gods are immortal and eternal, but there is a precedent of Helios. Even if Dionysus is confident, he is not sure whether his will will be affected.
But don’t evil things have no reason? How could it set such a trap?
Or do they actually have reason, but their so-called reason is simply not accepted by Chaos’s gods and men.
It happened in a flash.
A large piece of lightning appeared on the staff rooted in the brown star, and it quickly moved towards Dionysus’s position.
Enduring the mental pressure brought by the eye contact just now, he tried his best to avoid the stream of light that was coming towards him.
However, the fragments of the body of [Death Star] that were peeled off were just appearances. In fact, it had cut off almost half of its own power.
Even for a true god, this was an attack that could not be underestimated. And without the protection of the cane, it was bound to succeed in such a sneak attack on Dionysus…
Swoosh–
“Be careful!”
The strange stream of light was close at hand, and the endless malice had almost stained Dionysus’s clothes.
The spiritual sense frantically warned, but the speed of its own movement could not match the attack.
But just when Dionysus thought he could no longer avoid it, a thrust was transmitted from behind him.
His figure shifted slightly at the most critical moment, and Dionysus watched the stream of light pass by the corner of his eyes in an instant.
The cane following closely behind seized this moment of opportunity, and the silver lightning finally fell back to his side, firmly protecting his vicinity.
No mistake, one sentence, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
He breathed a sigh of relief. With the cane containing the power of Zeus, he was safe.
And the stream of light containing the original power of the ancient evil creature seemed to have noticed its failure, so it simply did not try to launch a second attack.
Continuing to move backwards, the speed of the stream of light did not decrease. After all, after excluding Dionysus, there seemed to be another creature left nearby.
“Puff…”
There was a muffled sound, but no real sound was emitted. Because this was not a movement on the material level, but a spiritual level.
His face changed drastically, and Dionysus looked back suddenly, but he only saw Amon with a little red spot on his forehead.
It was almost visible to the naked eye that without the protection of the immortal essence of the gods, this friend who had just met not long ago could not resist the power of the ancient evil creature at all.
Fine lines spread along his forehead and spread to his limbs. The traces of corruption emerged from every inch of flesh and blood, and then intertwined into pieces, forming a picture of worshiping the brown star.
“Amon! How come you are here? Do you know what this is!”
His eyes widened. Although he had expected it when he was pushed away, when he saw this scene, Dionysus still felt a little hard to accept.
He and he had only known each other for such a short time, why did he take the risk to follow him and block this careless disaster for him?
Didn’t he know that he might die because of this? He was not a true god, so how could he resist the power of the ancient evil.
Taking a step forward, Dionysus supported Amon’s shaky body. With the spirit and flesh of a mortal, he was afraid that he could no longer control his body at this moment.
Dionysus was helpless as he watched the blood climb up Amon’s eyelids little by little.
The evil creature’s erosion is silent, yet as fast as an explosion.
When this process began, it had already sunk to the bottom and merged with Amon’s body.
It’s like adding a drop of ink to the sea, but it’s as difficult as climbing to the sky to extract it from the sea.
From ancient times to the present, Dionysus has hardly heard of any mortal who can return to his original state and return to normal after being eroded by the original power of the ancient evil creature.
“Ahem… Dionysus, am I going to die?”
“I seem to have a feeling that inside my body… another me is being born.”
The voice was weak, and Amon’s eyes gradually became red.
Dionysus was speechless when he saw all this, as his eyes were completely different from the original ones.
That’s right, for an independent creature, if there is no essence of the gods to fight against it, the pollution of evil creatures is equal to the death of the old life and the birth of new life.
It won’t be long before Amon, whom he just met, will die here, and only new evil creatures will be left.
The only way for the human world to deal with this situation is to throw the polluted person into the holy fire, burn his flesh and soul, in the hope that his consciousness can be at peace.
Theoretically, Dionysus should do this now, after all, they have only known each other for a short time.
But for him who has never left Mount Olympus, Amon is the only person he has seen who has given his life for him.
“You don’t have to tell me, I already know it.”
“I have been eroded by its power, and soon, I will become a part of it.”
Slowly lowering his head and hiding the blood in his eyes, Amon seemed to realize his situation.
They had talked about the existence of evil creatures a long time ago, after all, this is an unavoidable topic when talking about the descendants of Typhon.
The only way to solve the pollution of evil creatures is to kill the polluter to prevent him from causing greater damage. This is the common understanding of Chaos mortals.
So after a moment of silence, Amon raised his head again and made his request to Dionysus.
“Come, kill me.”
“The ancient evil creature took the initiative to separate part of its origin, which will inevitably cause defects in its power. This may be useless to others, but the power you just released may really damage it.”
“Kill me, kill the power that resides in my body, instead of letting another me replace me… Dionysus, you can do it.”
“I…”
He opened his mouth to speak, but couldn’t say anything.
Dionysus didn’t expect that he had just left Olympus and encountered such a thing.
Amon’s death was inevitable, even if he asked the God King to take action now, it was too late, not to mention that according to his understanding, Zeus would not interfere with his plan for this.
In this case, killing Amon was almost something he had to do, but Dionysus couldn’t do it after reaching out a few times.
Amon was corrupted by the evil creature in order to remind him… and now he can only give him a peaceful death?
