Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Chapter 541: Sacrifice

brush--

Leaving behind the split off body, the moving trajectory of [Death Star] did not deviate at all.

Seeing the huge celestial body moving away at an extraordinary speed, Dionysus immediately jumped out from behind the meteorite.

This position is still very dangerous, but since this monster with chaotic thinking did not stop at the first moment, there is basically no possibility for it to make a comeback.

Therefore, the most urgent issue for him at this moment is to nip this evil creature that has just been split off in the bud.

Right in front of Dionysus, in just a moment, the falling body fragments curled up into a small sphere, emitting an invisible suction force.

The surrounding meteorites were also affected by it, gathering together, attaching to its surface, and then gradually being stained with the same marks.

This is the infectious power of evil things. Just give it a seed and it will soon give you back a forest.

Dionysus didn't know whether the ancient Titans in the depths of the starry sky had ever encountered the [Star of Death] or 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 bosom, and after a short moment it turned into a scepter with a wreath on top.

The patterns that resemble grape vines wrap around it, like runes inlaid on the staff.

This was the weapon Dionysus brought from Olympus, and it was also the tool he originally prepared for himself to cast spells - it was a pity that Zeus did not spend too much effort collecting methods for spellcasters to increase their power, so he had never achieved any success 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 was popular among them, which made him very curious.

It’s a pity that there is no knowledge of witchcraft. There is no relevant reserves among the countries on the continent, and with his current abilities, it is impossible for him to create it himself.

"Roaming the heavens, my all-mighty father... Lord over Olympus, over 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 declare you guilty."

"O creature of the fallen starry sky... you will surely meet your end."

Chanting it quietly in one's mind may sound like a spell, but it is more like a hymn of praise.

Dionysus raised his staff, the crown on top flickered gently, and then threw it far away towards the evil clone that was just beginning to shape the stars.

In an instant, the cane passed through the void and finally firmly stuck into the scarlet sphere.

The patterns on the staff flickered slightly, and a grape vine immediately took shape.

Its hem took root on the surface of the star and began to absorb its essence.

This was the method Dionysus chose to fight his enemy. It was not that he could not try to do it himself, but it was undoubtedly more cost-effective to call upon the divine power that Zeus left in his staff before he left.

Because he had already verified it before. Just as the great God King claimed, everything in the heaven, earth and sea belonged to him, even these evil spirits from outside the domain were no exception.

Under Dionysus's gaze, the vines pulsed like blood vessels, and on the staff, silver lightning flashed one after another.

The power that instinctively corrodes everything was easily restrained by Zeus's lightning, and was even wrapped up in itself by the electric arcs.

This is thunder and lightning. Among the powers of the gods, the power of the King of Gods is the only one that is not incompatible with the power of evil creatures. In many cases, it can even make some weak evil creatures feel "afraid".

In some remote areas of the human world, or in primitive tribes that have never communicated with the human kingdoms of the nations of faith, there are many mortals who believe that lightning is the natural nemesis of evil, that it can drive away pollution and eliminate disasters.

Dionysus naturally didn't know why this happened, but considering that Zeus was more powerful than all the gods, he naturally attributed it to the power shared by all the great ones.

Just like the gods are still the rulers of the human world, since the origins of those evil powers cannot break free from their shackles, they themselves naturally cannot escape the restraint of the God King.

"Very good. It went very smoothly."

"Next, as long as the Death Star doesn't have any other reactions, the trouble here can be easily overcome."

"With the power of Father God, as long as it is not the real body of the ancient evil creature, it will not be a problem for me."

He 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 creature, but it was not his turn to worry about it.

It's not bad. If he had known it would go so smoothly, he wouldn't have had to let Amon go back into the Star Shuttle... But now that it has been dealt with, should he go back and ask him to come and take a look, so that he can also witness the power of the evil creature from outside the domain?

"—Dionysus, be careful!"

He lowered his head and thought, knowing that the scepter was maintained by the divine power of Zeus.

But at this moment, a sudden warning came from behind Dionysus.

That 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 quickly looked up.

The next moment, he saw a crack appear on the scarlet sphere that had just landed and was shrinking under the pressure of his scepter.

Just like the crack on the body of the [Death Star], at first glance, it seems like staring into the abyss.

Greed, killing, destruction, possession, love, attachment... contradictory yet unified emotions appeared simultaneously in the long black crack, as if hundreds of different people were talking to him.

For a moment, Dionysus was in a trance.

He understood that the ancient evil creature's cutting off a fragment of its own body was just a pretext, and it had no intention of capturing him in this way.

After all, for the Death Star, gods are unkillable. Moreover, although it does not have stable rationality, it can perceive the source of threats more clearly.

It knew that Dionysus had the power to defeat it. Zeus himself might be able to hide from him, but the power he left behind could not.

The violent thunder of the Lord of Ten Thousand Thunders is stored in that staff, protecting the safety of the Son of the God King.

So at this moment, the scarlet star that was originally suppressed by Dionysus's staff suddenly turned brown, just like life transformed into death.

In the crack that split from the center, a hidden stream of light flashed and rushed straight into Dionysus' eyes.

This is a sign, but also a seed of parasitism. Like the corrupted sun, the Death Star tried to turn this weakest god it had ever seen into a bearer of its power, entering the human world from the starry sky in a way that was closer to what Chaos allowed.

Cold sweat broke out on his back. Even if he recalled the cane, it might be too late.

The gods are immortal and eternal, but with the precedent of Helios, no matter how confident Dionysus is, he is not sure whether his will will be affected.

But isn't the evil creature irrational? How could it set such a trap?

Or maybe they actually do have rationality, but their so-called rationality is simply not acceptable to the gods and men of Chaos.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Large flashes 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 light that was coming towards him.

However, the fragments of the body shell that fell off the [Star of Death] were just appearances. In fact, nearly half of its own power was cut off.

Even for a true god, this was an attack that could not be underestimated. Without the protection of the staff, such a sneak attack on Dionysus would be a sure success...

whoosh-

"careful!"

The strange light was so close, and the endless malice had almost stained Dionysus's clothes.

His spiritual sense was sending out warnings frantically, but his own movement speed could not match the incoming attack.

But just when Dionysus thought he could no longer avoid it, a thrust suddenly came from behind him.

His body 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 staff that followed closely behind seized the opportunity at this moment, and the silver lightning finally fell back to his side, firmly protecting his surroundings.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was safe now that he had the staff containing the power of Zeus.

The stream of light that contained the original power of the ancient evil creature seemed to have realized its failure, and it simply did not try to launch a second attack.

Continuing to move backward, the light stream did not slow down. After all, apart from Dionysus, there seemed to be another creature left nearby.

"puff……"

There was a muffled sound, but no real sound was emitted. This was because it was not a movement on the material level, but a spiritual level.

His face changed drastically and Dionysus turned around suddenly, but he only saw Amon with a 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 only just met was unable to resist the power of the ancient evil.

Fine lines spread along his forehead and spread to his limbs. 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! Why are you here? Do you know what this is?!"

His eyes widened. Although he had expected it when he was pushed away, Dionysus still found it hard to accept when he saw this scene.

I have only known him for such a short time, why would he take the risk to follow me and protect me from this disaster caused by his carelessness?

Didn't he know that he might die because of this? He wasn't a true god, so how could he resist the power of the ancient evil?

Dionysus took a step forward and supported Amon's shaky body. With his mortal spirit and flesh, he was probably unable to control his body at this moment.

Dionysus could do nothing but watch the blood creep up Amon's eyelids little by little.

The evil creatures' erosion is silent and yet as fast as an explosion.

When this process began, it had already sunk to the bottom and merged with Amon's body.

It is easy to mix a drop of ink into the sea, but as difficult as climbing to the sky to extract it back from the sea.

From ancient times to the present, Dionysus has hardly heard of any mortal who could return to his original state and return to normal after being eroded by the original power of the ancient evil creatures.

"Ahem...Dionysus, am I going to die?"

"I seem to have a feeling that inside my body... there is another me being born."

The voice was weak and Amon's eyes gradually turned red.

A look completely different from the original one was reflected in it, and Dionysus was speechless after seeing all this.

That's right, for an independent living being, if there is no divine essence to fight against it, then the pollution of evil is equivalent to the death of the old life and the birth of a new life.

It won't be long before Amon, whom he just met, will die here, and only new evil creatures will be left behind.

The only way for the human world to deal with this situation is to throw the contaminated person into the holy fire, burning his flesh, blood and spirit, in the hope that his consciousness can find peace.

In theory, Dionysus should do the same now, after all, they have only known each other for a short time.

But for him, who had never left Mount Olympus, Amon was the only person he had ever seen who gave his life for him.

"You don't have to tell me, I already know."

"I have been consumed by its power, and soon, I will become part of it."

Slowly lowering his head to hide the bloodshot in his eyes, Amon seemed to realize his situation.

They had already talked about the existence of evil creatures. After all, this was an unavoidable topic when talking about the descendants of Typhon.

The only way to solve the pollution of evil is to kill the polluter to prevent him from causing greater damage. This is the common understanding among the mortals of Chaos.

So after a moment of silence, Amon raised his head again and made his request to Dionysus.

"Come on, kill me."

"The ancient evil took the initiative to separate part of its origin, which will inevitably cause its power to be flawed. This may be useless to others, but the power you just released may actually cause damage to it."

"Kill me, kill the power that resides in me, instead of replacing me with another me... Dionysus, you can do it."

"I……"

He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.

Dionysus didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing just after leaving Olympus.

Amon's death was inevitable. Even if he asked the King of Gods to take action now, it was too late. Moreover, according to his understanding, Zeus would not interfere with his plan for this.

In this situation, killing Amon was almost inevitable for him, but Dionysus was unable to do it after reaching out several times.

Amon was corrupted by the evil creature in order to remind him... and now he can only give him a peaceful death?
