Gods, I am the ancient Greek god of joy

Chapter 14: Impending Death 4

Inside the Temple of Bacchus

Zagreus lay lazily on his big bed. His temple was not as magnificent as other gods' residences. It was filled with countless display cabinets. These were wine cabinets built by Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths. Even the laws of space were used. Countless fine wines were neatly placed in them. These wines had been infected by all the laws of Zagreus for a long time. The wines on the display cabinets were the best that only gods could enjoy.

As for the area under the display case, it was an endless spring of wine, which he bought from the goddess of the spring at a high price. Later, he spent a lot of effort to transform it with the godhood of wine, turning it into a spring that could produce all kinds of ordinary fine wines. These were the wines he used to make or sell to the mortal world. However, these wines still enjoyed the blessing of his godhood, so they were rare treasures in the mortal world.

However, all the display cabinets were smashed at this time, and countless vessels filled with fine wine were also smashed at this time. However, because these vessels were blessed by divine power, the endless wine inside was restrained and could only slowly flow out from the gaps.

Zagreus was in disheveled clothes, looking at the bright roof with blurry eyes. The floor of the hall was already a mess. These were the fine wines he had brewed before, but now countless of them were broken by the two crazy maids. The huge amount of wine from those wine jugs full of divine power kept flowing out and began to flood the entire temple.

But when the wine was raised and touched Zagreus who was lying on the bed, the Dionysus godhead in his body began to vibrate, and his flesh instantly turned into a pool of light and merged directly into the wine. Here, wine was his incarnation. Now after coming into contact with these fine wines brewed with divine power, countless wines spontaneously formed a Dionysus realm for him.

The moment he merged into the Dionysus realm, even the curse power that was eroding him became somewhat sluggish. The emergence of the Dionysus realm also pulled him out of that chaotic state.

The unknown roars in his ears were slowly fading away, but he still heard some of them.

"Kill him, kill him and you will become the true king of the gods, kill him!!!"

"Who? Who's talking? It's so noisy, who should I kill? Hiss! My head hurts!"

The first thing Zagreus did after waking up was to use his divine power to block out the whispers in his mind. At this moment, his brain seemed like paste, making him want to vomit but unable to. He shook his non-existent head and realized that he had turned into wine. However, he felt that the Dionysus godhood in his body was resisting the polluted divine power and constantly consuming the wine around him. He hurriedly mobilized his beliefs in the mortal world.

Fortunately, he has a large number of believers in the mortal world who can provide him with faith. Although the faith of these mortals is not pure, after being purified by the temple, half of the impure faith will be transformed into divine power and fed back to believers everywhere, allowing them to have extraordinary means and preach more devoutly. The rest of the purified faith will be stored in the corresponding divine nature and then slowly transformed into their own power.

Now he could only pour these panacea-like powers of faith into the Godhead of Joy as if they were free. Although this would waste a large amount of the power of faith, he no longer had time to convert them.

He is currently only considered a young god. Relying on the status of the son of Hades, he can be considered a high-level god in the underworld, but in the world of gods, his power is only at a medium to high level. Now he can resist the curse only by relying on the power of the god of joy itself. His insignificant power of faith can only allow him to gain a brief moment of clarity.

But as he woke up, a great sense of crisis emerged. This feeling that made the soul tremble was a premonition of facing death. All the divine powers in his body were constantly beating to warn him, which also indicated that a huge crisis was about to come.

This was a feeling Zagros had never experienced before. A warning of this intensity was definitely not an ordinary death, but a real fall. He wanted to mobilize the divine thunder to fight the enemy, but found that the divine thunder had no response. It seemed that Zeus was not in the realm of gods at all.

That would be troublesome. Although the gods are immortal, that is only effective when the King of Gods is in charge of the divine realm. Now that the King of Gods is not here, he has not yet reached the status of the Lord God. Even with the protection of the Supreme Godhead, he cannot achieve true immortality.

He originally wanted to use his divine power to call for help, but his divine power was annihilated before it could be transmitted far, and now the situation became serious.

It is definitely not an easy task to isolate his temple in the divine realm, and the omen of death is getting stronger and stronger, which means that someone or something is approaching him.

He hurriedly withdrew his divine power, and used his authority as the God of Fruit to possess the plants he planted to sense the temple outside.

The vision of plants allowed him to see three Typhon gods covered in wounds outside the temple, but they used their divine power to form a barrier that blocked the entire range of the Dionysus Temple, even the underground was covered, and the crisis of death came from these Typhon gods.

"Who! Someone is spying on me."

A divine power swept over, but did not find Zagreus. Fortunately, he was the god of fruits and plants were one of his authorities, so he was not discovered.

The shout of one Typhon made the other two Typhons alert. At this time, the other two Typhons did not care about forcibly breaking free from the wounds left by the teleportation array. They immediately increased the strength of the divine barrier. Then the three of them formed a triangle and continued to surround the Temple of Dionysus and shrink towards it.

As the barrier shrank, Zagros first sensed that the plants he had planted on the outermost part of the temple began to die in large numbers, but he did not act rashly.

Then he heard the conversation of the god Typhon outside: "The ancestor god just sent a message that Zeus was dragged to Tartarus, and now we must kill the god of wine immediately and take off his horn. We must get the horn containing the divinity of the king of gods as soon as possible and use the power of the Titans to sacrifice it to the ancestor god.

The horn on this kid's head is actually a divine artifact. As long as we get it, the ancestor god will have a chance to escape. Hera has been held back by other brothers. Now is the best time... Hmm! ? I found you. It turned out that you were spying on us. Didn't that person say that you were unconscious?

Since you have heard our conversation, kid, you can only blame yourself for taking something that does not belong to you. It's your bad luck!"

As the Typhon barrier shrank to the place where Zagros was attached, it was normal to be discovered, but there was nothing to do at the moment. After hearing what the Typhons said, he knew that he could not count on the outside world, but these three Typhons were seriously injured, so there might be hope of a counterattack.

As the soul returned to the temple, he saw that the Godhead of Joy could still hold on for a while with the power of faith he had collected, and the curse could not affect him for the time being.

He hurriedly took off the golden armband and threw it out, and immediately his small Temple of Elysee appeared. Then the Temple of Dionysus was replaced by Elysee, and he activated Elysee's defense mechanism.

After all, this is a treasure bestowed by Mother Earth. Plus, he has the bonus of the Great Elysee of the Underworld. The barrier emitted by the temple now must be stronger than the original Dionysus Temple. Looking at the ruins of the Dionysus Temple outside, Zagreus summoned the golden river made of wealth.
