Gods, I am the ancient Greek god of joy
Chapter 135: Praise of Death, Praise of Zagreus
As long as Fear walked out of Jianghuai City, its spirituality would continue to overflow unconsciously. These overflowing spiritualities nourished the weirdness in all the cities it passed through like fertilizer, but Fear itself would not realize that it was constantly decomposing. This was in the later stage. It had spread in all the cities according to the hints left by Zagros, and its spreading mission had been completed, and it was about to be exhausted. Although it also devoured a lot of psychics and weirdness along the way to replenish itself, it was still in a state of loss. In fact, if he honestly returned to Jianghuai City after completing his mission, Zagros could still save his life there.
But as he absorbed more and more life, he was constantly influenced by the souls of different people, and gradually developed some evil thoughts. He was now like an empty shell, strong on the outside but weak on the inside, just like the last glimmer of light of a dying person.
However, although his senses were blocked, his own spirituality was still reminding him that he was about to run out of energy. Out of physical instinct, he began to resist the temptation. At first, he just kept absorbing other weirdness, hoping that the spirituality extracted from them could complement himself.
However, his essence has already surpassed the A-level, so absorbing ordinary weirdness cannot satisfy his own needs at all, and his spirituality is still constantly overflowing, so he shifted his target to other A-level weirdness. Usually, he constantly absorbs any soul he can see. Under the influence of the spirituality of different lives, his thinking began to split, and he even began to disobey Zagros's orders. As long as he could find a reasonable reason for himself, he would start hunting other A-level weirdness.
Originally, he was planning to eat just one A-level weirdness, but after he swallowed the first A-level weirdness, his spirituality was greatly replenished. The satisfaction from the soul made him unable to stop. Besides, Zagros was busy with platform affairs recently and had no time to take care of him. Fear thought that Zagros had tacitly agreed to his actions, and his behavior became more and more eccentric.
After swallowing three or four A-level monsters, Fear's strength increased greatly, and he began to ambush other monsters blatantly. This time, Dahei couldn't help it. Zagros only created a hundred or so A-level monsters. If Fear swallowed them all, what was the point of Zagros? So he notified Kailin to help him clean up the mess.
Karen was becoming more and more uncomfortable watching Fear, because Fear was no longer obedient and was constantly actuating its own talents, creating the power of fear to influence Karen.
But Cailin is a follower of the god of carnival and wine. Carnival is the favor of the god bestowed upon her by Zagreus. She will always be favored by joy, so she is born with the ability to restrain fear, an offensive emotion. In addition, Dahei told her that this skull is no longer useful to Zagreus, so she directly threw out the crystal dagger in her hand.
However, Fear itself is also close to S-level strength, and its strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, it also has a special ability - fear. When Kailin threw the dagger, Fear felt threatened, and it was too late to retreat, but he did not dodge.
Kailin's dagger was no ordinary weapon either. It contained a trace of Zagreus's divine power, and with Kailin's spiritual power, such a dagger had the power to break all illusions and illusions, and could directly hit the target's vital points.
Seeing the dagger flying towards him, Fear let out an evil laugh, and then a green light suddenly appeared on the entire skull, and the crystal skull instantly became illusory.
"Ding~"
"what!"
Along with a crisp sound, an expression of astonishment suddenly appeared on the frightened face. Just when it thought it had won the game, suddenly a piercing pain came from between its eyebrows, making it scream.
I saw a transparent dagger deeply embedded in its brow bone. The dagger was flashing with a mysterious light, as if it was also in a virtual state. This sudden attack caught him off guard, and he couldn't believe that he would be hit!
"Impossible! What is this thing!" Fear cried out in disbelief.
Karin had no intention of wasting time talking to him. She used her mental power to directly activate the dagger's ability to break illusions. The dagger instantly shone with a purple light. As the light flowed, the space around the dagger seemed to be torn apart, turning into tiny pixel grids. These pixel grids were one side illusory and the other side real. As they flipped over each other, it was like countless tiny stars gathered together.
Then, these pixel grids began to rotate rapidly, and each flip brought out a trace of sharp sword energy. Fear felt this sword energy constantly cutting between the real and the virtual. Under the attack of the dagger, Fear had to exit the virtual state.
Its originally illusory figure gradually became real, and with the appearance of the entity, the sharp characteristics of the dagger were activated again. It roared in fear and pain, the sound was sharp and piercing, and its skull began to twist and deform. If the dagger between its eyebrows was not pulled out, the entire skull would probably be lifted off.
But even this kind of fear was not pleasant, as the dagger seemed to be continuously penetrating deeper into its skull.
"Crack! Click!"
The fear instantly felt the approach of death, because at this moment cracks spread out from the brow bone to the surroundings, like a work of art that was about to break.
He could no longer hold back his fear, and white lights suddenly spurted out from the cracks on his forehead, instantly pushing the dagger out. These white lights were the spiritual powers he had absorbed with great difficulty, and at this moment he did not care about saving them, and directly used them to exchange for his own life.
As these spiritual energies overflowed, they were directly absorbed by everyone present, especially the ghost baby, which got the biggest piece, but in its eyes of fear, it was almost like taking its life.
"No! They are all mine. How dare you, a bunch of ants!"
"Mine, mine, everything is mine!"
The ghost baby doesn't care about its own impotent rage, and directly chases the biggest spirit.
"In that case, you forced me to do this! If I eat you, I can get everything back!"
After saying that, Fear immediately spat out a stream of netherfire, temporarily forcing Kailin back, and then controlled the skull to fly directly into the sky, but he had no intention of flying away. Instead, four shadows spit out of his mouth. These were the four strongest A-level monsters it had swallowed before, and he used his spiritual power in his body to train them into puppets. If it wasn't a critical moment, he would not release them.
As soon as these four A-level weirdness appeared, they took away a large amount of spirituality in Fear's body. Fortunately, Fear had swallowed a lot of A-level weirdness recently and accumulated a lot of spirituality in his body. Just controlling these three people required all the power of an A-level weirdness.
But Fear didn't care about anything now. As long as he ate Karin and the others, he could afford this loss. The A-level strange body that had been guarding beside him not only faded, but the other three puppets also began to emit green light.
The green light directly enveloped everyone present. Even Karin's territory was shrouded in green light. Feeling the three strong pressures, Karin put away her teasing thoughts. As expected, things from the hands of gods should not be underestimated. She directly summoned a purple wine mist to envelope herself.
At this time, the ghost baby who was still chasing the spiritual fragments was illuminated by the green light, and it was instantly as if a layer of sulfuric acid was poured on its body. Its delicate skin was directly festered. The ghost baby screamed "wow" and was immediately knocked back to the ground. It quickly hid in the magic circle and dared not show its head again.
The four A-level weirdos in the sky were sent out by Fear. They appeared and disappeared in the green light, not only shuttling through space, but also making it hard to guard against. With the cooperation of these three people, even if Kailin held a dagger in her hand, she could not kill them.
Moreover, they can change their positions and forms at will. Whenever Kailin controls the dagger to attack, they will change their positions. And because they are all puppets, some of them are driven by the nether fire, which cannot be touched by Kailin's spiritual power.
The three ghosts disappeared and suddenly reappeared. Although they could not hurt Karin, Karin was also unable to break through their encirclement.
For a moment, Kailin was held back by the three men, but the fear who was watching was also extremely uncomfortable. He directly smashed an A-level weird and forcibly controlled three puppets, but he did not expect that under such a fierce attack, Kailin could still fight three alone, and these three puppets were big energy consumers.
Even he could not pay such a high price, so he took out a puppet from the three people and turned it into fuel. With the support of new fuel, the remaining two puppets became more powerful again, but Karin obviously felt a lot more relaxed, as she could now leave scars on the two puppets.
When Fear saw that the situation was not good, he knew that he could not waste any more time and hurriedly called back the two puppets. At this time, the two puppets were guarding directly in front of him. He had already wasted half of his stored spiritual energy, and it was obviously impossible for him to retreat now, so he gritted his teeth, and a large amount of spiritual energy flew out of his eyes in an instant, and these spiritual energy began to outline lines.
"Stop him, this is a magic circle that brings death!" The ghost baby hiding underneath suddenly shouted, with a bit of panic and fear in his voice.
Although he could not clearly see the specific meaning of those lines, as they gradually took shape, he keenly sensed that a huge and terrifying breath of death was continuously gushing out from above.
The breath of death was so thick that it almost suffocated him, as if it could devour all vitality and hope.
At the same time, a mysterious will that was so powerful that he could hardly resist was gradually taking shape. This will was filled with endless pressure, which was a symbol of death for all weirdness, and also the great existence that created all weirdness.
However, being summoned by fear at this time is not a good thing for them. Even the formation set up by the ghost baby is affected and begins to show signs of instability, as if it may collapse at any time.
Upon hearing this, Karin immediately threw the dagger. She knew that all the weirdness came from Zagros, but Zagros was in seclusion at the moment and had no time to take care of them. Just like the summoning circle of the god of wine, it summoned the energy prepared in advance. She didn't dare let fear summon the power of death controlled by Zagros.
So she kept controlling the dagger to try to cut off the lines drawn by the spirit, but fear was now fearless. This was a magic circle drawn by the spirit. When he succeeded in the first stroke, it was already protected by the power of death. No matter how strong Karen was, could she be stronger than death itself?
Karin saw that even if her dagger touched the spiritual line, it would be bounced away by a black gas in the next second, so she had to give up the attack.
At the same time, the originally calm sky suddenly began to shake violently without any warning, as if a mysterious force was tearing the space apart. With a crisp cracking sound, a dark crack quietly emerged in the air.
In the crack, endless darkness seemed to swallow up the entire world, making people shudder. Then, black air currents gushed out from the cracks, as if they were vengeful spirits from the depths of hell. These air currents quickly spread out, forming a dark cloud that covered the sky and the sun, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.
What shocked everyone even more was that these air currents were not ordinary clouds, but were formed by the gathering of countless energies that represented death. These energies were like a curse, destroying everything wherever they went, and the weeds on the ground withered instantly. They spread rapidly like a plague, and the ground was instantly covered by a thick layer of black fog.
Everyone could only carefully shrink in the ghost baby's territory, but it was obvious that the ghost baby's magic circle could not prevent the infiltration of the black fog. The ghost baby was originally a dead object and was naturally not afraid of the black fog, but Li Ming and the others were not. As the black fog was about to spread to everyone, suddenly a ray of light flashed from the crystal bottle hanging around Xiao Ye's neck, and the black fog instantly avoided them and retreated.
Only after the black fog dissipated did they discover that a huge shadow had appeared above the ground. The shadow was shaped like a giant palm with its outline clearly visible, and fear was in the middle of the palm.
As the shadow gradually formed, a black vortex began to emerge on each finger. This vortex seemed to lead to another dimension, as if it could swallow up all light and life.
From these whirlpools, strange human figures wrapped tightly in white cloth slowly emerged. They were like mummies wrapped in bandages, lifeless. However, when they really revealed their full appearance, it was terrifying.
These humanoid monsters have twisted bodies and extremely stiff movements, as if they were puppets controlled by some mysterious force. However, the aura they exude is powerful enough to rival that of an A-level monster!
"Hahaha! It was summoned as expected. It's a pity that I wasted too much time on you trash before, otherwise it would not be just the shadow of my palm that was summoned. But even so, it's worth it. Praise to Death, Praise to Zagreus!" As a burst of crazy laughter sounded, a strong and evil aura spread.
Everyone watched in horror as the giant hand slowly disappeared, leaving behind only five strange bodies wrapped in bandages.
"Kill them for me!" He shouted in fear and kept retreating. He had no strength left in his body now. He could only withdraw from the battlefield and wait for the five puppets to kill everyone. Then he could enjoy the fruits of victory.
