Gods, I am the ancient Greek god of joy

"Are you all awake?"

The five people were still a little confused, but they woke up immediately after hearing the voice. They quickly wiped the cold water off their faces. The strongest one stood up, bent over and said to Zagreus:

"Wake up! Wake up! I don't know what you want us to do, but as long as we can do it, we will do our best!"

Zagros looked at the people in front of him. At this time, the mark of the Mad World in their bodies had dimmed, and the Mad World could not monitor this place through them. It seemed that the previous drunkenness had brought them a lot of benefits. The strength of several people had improved a lot, and at least they could suppress the control of the Mad World.

"You guys ruined my plan this time. The person I wanted to catch just ran away. Tell me...how should I deal with you?"

It was clearly the boy's gentle voice, but when they heard it, they felt a chill down their spines and shivered all over. The person who had spoken earlier could only suppress his panic and hurriedly explained:

"We didn't do this on purpose. We were forced to come here to die. Those were our men, but they were all controlled by the man in the black fog. We couldn't do anything about it!"

"Of course I know, otherwise why would I keep you here until now? Since I've kept you here, it's natural that I want you to help me do things!"

"You said that as long as we can do it, we will do it for you even if it costs our lives!"

Zagreus sneered and said, "So if I ask you to kill the man in the black fog, you can do it?"

"This..." The person who spoke hesitated.

"What's wrong, you don't want to?"

Zagreus raised his eyebrows, with a hint of amusement in his tone.

The man hurriedly explained, "It's not that we don't want to. He forced us to come here this time because he wanted to kill us with your help. Millions of infected bodies are our assets. This time, we were all controlled by him to die. We naturally want to kill him, but he left a backup plan in our bodies. We can't resist at all!"

"You can't say so much. I know you can't resist them, so I don't ask you to kill him. I just want you to mess with him and hold him back. Can you do that?"

"Yes! Yes!" The man nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Zagreus was very satisfied to see that they were tactful.

"Don't worry, I have suppressed the restrictions in your body for you. As long as you break through to S-level, the backup plan he left behind will become your golden ticket to immunity from death. Even if you can't beat him, he can't kill you!"

When they heard this, they realized that the feeling of being controlled before had disappeared, and the energy in their bodies suddenly increased a lot, and they couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

"Thank you for your help, but there is no one in the world who can break through to S-level now. I am afraid that we..."

"How can there be no S-level? The one who controls you is the ability that only S-level has. The reason why none of you infected bodies can break through the A-level is because it is suppressing you. The same is true for S-level. He is the first infected body to enter the S-level, so he has the authority to mobilize the black fog. As long as you can break through, you can naturally break his blockade. Although you can't control all the black fog like him, you can also get some authority. By then, even if they can't beat him, they can't do anything to you!"

When they heard this, they knew that the other party was going to promote them. They were so excited that their eyes turned red. Since the young man in front of them had spoken, there must be a way for them to advance.

Zagrous did not keep the suspense. He walked directly to the edge of the cliff and poked the scepter in his hand towards the top of the mountain. The scepter directly poked a black hole in the space. Then, several people felt the mountain began to shake continuously, as if there was an earthquake. There were also sounds of earth and rock collapsing and rocks rolling. Several people were a little puzzled, but seeing that Zagrous did not move, they naturally watched honestly.

Then they saw that the huge grape vines that were originally winding around the mountain under their feet seemed to suddenly come to life. Countless branches and vines seemed to come alive and began to swim rapidly towards the direction of the scepter like a giant python.

Although the scepter was only half a person's height, when the roots of the vines touched the black hole at the bottom of the scepter, they immediately became illusory and unreal, and its body was continuously sucked into the black hole.

At the same time, a thin vine began to appear at the bottom of the scepter. Looking at its unique appearance, it was obviously the same vine that had been winding around the mountain before, but for some reason it had shrunk to this point. It began to swim slowly upwards around the scepter, and a jade-like leaf would appear every inch it swam. These leaves were extremely agile, and the vines would sway gently as they swam on the scepter.

As these leaves gradually grow, they will slowly blend into the scepter, forming a unique jade pattern. These patterns are lifelike and arranged according to specific rules, giving people a sense of harmony and order. In particular, the color of the jade forms a sharp contrast with the gold color of the scepter itself, making the entire scepter more dazzling.

Zagreus was very satisfied when he saw the scepter flying back to his hand. Before the others could admire it, they felt their feet go empty and the whole mountain collapsed completely. Fortunately, the A-level ones could float in the air for a short time to avoid making a fool of themselves.

Only then did they see clearly that a green vineyard had appeared at the foot of the mountain. Because the huge vines had been taken away, the big pit left behind was filled with broken rocks, but there were still many rocks that were blown away. Zagreus waved the scepter in his hand, and the leaves on the scepter flashed a green light. Then the vineyard below was immediately covered with a layer of green light. Countless rocks fell, but were bounced away by the green light. When the wind calmed down, the vineyard was not damaged at all.

Zagreus appeared on another hill with a few people. At this time, they were still thinking about the mysterious bunch of grapes. They didn't know whether it had also turned into a pattern on the scepter. But after looking carefully, they found that under the huge amethyst like a pine cone on the top of the scepter, there was a bunch of small grapes swaying in the wind. Especially when they looked at the position where one grape was missing, it was the bunch that disappeared before.

Several people looked at each other, thinking, could this person want to use these grapes to improve their strength? That would be something they could never ask for, and their eyes were also burning with excitement when they looked at the grapes.

"Okay, stop looking at it. If I give this to you, you won't even see the sun tomorrow as soon as I leave!"

As the saying goes, a kind word warms you through three winter months, while an unkind word chills you through six months of summer. Although Zagreus' words were not unkind, they still made several people feel cold.
