Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Chapter 542: Receiving the Spear

"Don't hesitate, Dionysus... I don't want to die, but there's nothing I can do about it."

"If you don't do it, I won't be able to survive."

"The only pity is that I probably won't have the chance to see with my own eyes the place deep in the spiritual world that controls the souls of all things."

"But luckily I'm not the only one here. You're here too."

"Dionysus, tell me that you will complete this journey for me and see the magnificent and mysterious scenery of the spiritual world for me."

"Will you live on in my place, experience everything in this world, and be the continuation of my life?"

The voice was weak, and Amon seemed to see Dionysus's hesitation and hesitation.

But he just smiled, as if he was not afraid or terrified about his impending death.

He was just comforting his new friend in his own way so that he would not feel guilty or sad about his death in the future.

But after listening to Amon's words, Dionysus felt even more ashamed.

I used to think that Amon didn't dare to face the threat of the ancient evil creature, but the result was completely different.

"Come, answer me, Dionysus, will you?"

"I will. I promise."

Dionysus clenched his fists, feeling extremely regretful at this moment.

He regretted underestimating the cunning of the ancient evil and also regretted not accumulating enough experience before.

If it was Hercules, or any of his half-brothers, they probably would not have handed over the only trump card in their hand so easily and put themselves in danger.

After all, they had already gone through trials and tribulations in the human world, but he had never done so.

But it was meaningless to regret now, as the matter was irreversible. Dionysus could only hold Amon's hand tightly and make his most solemn promise to him.

"Amon, I promise you. From today on, my eyes are your eyes. They will see everything in the world for you. My life is the continuation of your life. You saved me from the ancient evil, so my future will be half yours."

"From now on, your name will be passed down in this world forever like mine, and will be remembered by countless mortals... Amon, in the name of the son of the God King, I swear to you here."

He no longer concealed his origins, whether out of gratitude or Amon's identity as a dying man.

Amon just smiled at this and stared into Dionysus's dark eyes.

Scarlet gradually covered the bottom of the eyes, and a second pupil of a different color appeared in the black pupil.

Opposite him, Dionysus felt like he was looking into the eyes of two people at the same time. One made him feel close to him like a father, while the other only had cold greed.

"Come……"

Holding on to the last moments of consciousness, Amon grabbed Dionysus' hand holding the scepter.

He spoke with difficulty, his voice carrying a slight echo.

"Come, kill me while I am still me."

"From now on, you will be my continuation in the world..."

“Hurry…come!”

"I……"

laugh--

A sudden high-pitched voice, black pupils that were about to completely disappear, watching all this, Dionysus raised his scepter high, and then pierced Amon's chest fiercely.

The scepter with patterns on it penetrated unhindered. The power of the evil creature tried to block it, but it could not stop it at all.

The bloody mark stopped for a moment, and then broke apart inch by inch.

As if sensing the dangerous situation of its protector, the silver lightning burst out with even more powerful force.

It suppressed the rioting blood in an instant and enveloped Amon's body.

The silver snake fluttered and danced, covering the body of the person in front of it.

The hand holding the scepter trembled slightly. Although Dionysus had seen more shocking things than this in human legends more than once, only after experiencing it himself did he feel that it had truly penetrated his soul.

He will not forget this day, nor will he forget his promise.

Compared to this trip, his life on Mount Olympus was so peaceful and relaxed. He never thought that he would face death and there would be a human who blocked the potentially fatal attack for him.

Looking at Amon who was gradually turning into ashes in the thunder and lightning in front of him, Dionysus felt as if his heart had become much heavier in an instant.

It's like putting on a layer of clothes, or like morning dew.

Perhaps this is the weight of a promise... my promise to Amon.

From now on, he is no longer a free and easy person, but also has to bear the extra responsibility of another person's life.

After all, it is difficult for people who died from the invasion of evil things to even retain their souls, and the same is true for those who were wiped out by the power of the God King.

With these two factors combined, Amon is deader than dead. Even if he finds the legendary "Well of Samsara" in the spiritual world, there is no possibility for him to be resurrected and reborn.

“【Ancient Evil · Death Star】…”

Silently reciting this name, in the past, whenever Dionysus heard the father's praises for Hercules, although he agreed with it verbally, he was still somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.

Just like Perseus, even if these sons of gods who were born as humans had some achievements, it was only because they received more favor from Zeus that they were able to establish merits and demonstrate their fame in the world.

But now, after just a few days of contact, Dionysus was deeply moved by just a mortal companion of the other party. And the power that the other party possessed seemed to really come from himself.

So now, Dionysus sincerely hopes that Hercules is not just a name, but can even make the impossible possible.

"As a human, I suppressed the ancient evil in the starry sky..."

"Hercules, what Amon and I can't do, I hope you can do it for us."

"Father God is right. Whether it's the King of All Monsters or the Ancient God from Outer Realm, these beings that possess great power and do not follow the rules of the world are the cancer of the world. Their existence will only bring trouble to the world."

“Destruction, annihilation, killing… Only by restraining everything with order and covering everything under the rules of royal power can all souls be at peace and stability. This is also the way for me to become a true God.”

"This is the duty of the God King, and it is also the reason why the gods should exist."

Since his birth into this world, Dionysus has been receiving instruction from Zeus, and even few gods knew of his existence.

Under Zeus's special education, his thoughts in many areas are undoubtedly in line with the will of the King of Gods.

Taking a deep breath, Dionysus shifted his gaze away from where Amon died and looked into the distant star region.

While he was dealing with the clone of the ancient evil, the Star of Death had already crashed into the star region where Valhalla was located.

······

boom--

……

In the star region, continuous sounds can be heard.

In front of the crystal that towered like a mountain, the fight between Hercules and the heroes never subsided from the beginning.

The fierce battle involved a wider and wider range, and the great hero's enemy was no longer just Perseus. Those heroic spirits who also ascended to heaven and obtained the title of constellation also joined in and became Hercules' enemies.

[Cancer], a demon kept by Hera, ascended to heaven after death.

In the original trajectory, it was sent down to the lower world by the Queen of Heaven to attack the heroes fighting the Hydra, and then died easily at the hands of Hercules. But in this life, it did not wait for the great hero, but was sent to cholera Athens in advance, and finally died at the hands of Theseus.

However, what is similar between the two is that Hera did not treat this unlucky yet lucky guy unfairly. She raised him to the sky and listed him as a star.

[Pisces], the reflection of the goddess of beauty and harmony.

It is said that as early as during the Typhon Rebellion, in order to avoid the edge of the King of Monsters, Aphrodite and Harmonia turned into swimming fish to escape, making the legend of "Pisces" spread in the world.

Later, the Goddess of Beauty promoted two handsome human princes to inherit this position and asked them to assist the Son of the King of God in his work in the starry sky.

There are rumors that these two princes once had a relationship beyond friendship with Aphrodite who wandered the human world, but no one is sure of the truth behind it.

In addition, there are [Andromeda], [Cetus], [Aries], [Cassiopeia]... Heroic spirits wearing divine armor have descended one after another. Except for the heroic spirits who are clearing evil things in the "black spots" around the bloody sun, almost all the heroic spirits of the Olympus series have come here.

The appearance of the enemy undoubtedly brought greater pressure to the great hero, but for Hercules, this was just a step for him to challenge himself.

His beating heart was like a god beating a drum, and an endless supply of strength continued to flow through his body.

Perseus suddenly discovered that when he was alone, he could do nothing to the mortals in front of him.

But when he called everyone he could, he still couldn't do anything to this mortal.

If it weren't for the divine armor on his body that could not be destroyed by worldly power, he would probably not be able to hold on any longer.

And he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Perseus always felt that during the interval of this battle, Hercules' strength increased by more than three points.

It's like seeing an iceberg sinking to the bottom of the sea. You think you've seen the whole thing, but in fact you've only seen the edge of it. Only by digging deeper can you see its true appearance.

boom--

"Hercules...is he really a human, or a monster in human skin?"

"I admit that I may not have reached the true pinnacle of the demigod realm in the past... but there should be a limit to this pinnacle, right?"

"No, that's not right."

"Hercules... the name means 'Glory of Hera'?"

The bronze sword collided with the iron rod again, and the giant's strength made Perseus' arm under the armor numb.

However, at this moment, a flash of inspiration came to the Son of the God King's mind, and he suddenly thought of something.

This kind of homophonic name is not uncommon in the world, just like Zeus' most common alias "Cronides", which means "son of Cronus", but he is not easily recognized.

But with a name like this and such power attached to it, coincidence is no longer a coincidence.

The expression behind the mask was uncertain, and Perseus was in a dilemma at the moment.

If the other party actually has some connection with the Queen, then he probably won't be able to do anything to him.

But now that things have come to this, he can't just pretend nothing happened... He was having trouble making up his mind, but at this moment, Perseus suddenly felt a slight tremor in Valhalla, which was connected to his spirit.

A very obvious warning was transmitted to his heart through an invisible connection, along with a sign pointing to the distance.

Before he could follow the guidance of the beacon, the next moment, a powerful and endless filthy force appeared within Perseus's perception range.

The ancient evil object, the Star of Death, was coming at him at an extremely fast speed, heading straight towards the direction where he was at the moment.

"…Hercules, you actually colluded with the ancient evil?"

Also sensing the arrival of the Death Star, a heroic spirit beside Perseus exclaimed in disbelief.

He originally thought that this was just a crime randomly assigned by the Son of God, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"As expected of the most prestigious hero in the world... Lord Perseus has long seen through his conspiracy."

"I was just worried that we might not be able to fight against it with our strength, but now it seems that Lord Perseus should have been prepared for it!"

"..."

The corners of Perseus' mouth twitched slightly behind the visor. He said nothing, but just kept swinging his sword.

Are you kidding? What preparations did he have? And to be honest, he no longer felt that Hercules had anything to do with evil.

Although Queen Hera is not a good person, she is not incapable of diverting troubles and using evil objects to target others, but she absolutely cannot lead the ancient evil objects to Valhalla.

So if the person in front of him is indeed connected to the Queen of Heaven, then the arrival of the Star of Death may really be an accident.

"But that's fine... I was just wondering how to end this, but now I don't have to think about it."

"Even if it's really related to the Queen of Heaven, so what? Isn't there still the ancient evil creature to blame?"

"Then all I need to do now is to think about how to expel it in the end..."

To expel does not mean to destroy, because the real ancient evil creatures cannot be destroyed, even the main god with powerful divine power can only suppress them.

Even suppressing evil creatures is a drain on the Lord God's power, forcing them to constantly mobilize divine power and authority to prevent the regeneration of evil creatures.

Just like the existence of the Zodiac Great Barrier, it took the power of the twelve zodiac star fields and the artifact [Valhalla] to suppress the fallen Blood Sun.

Fortunately, the existence of the Death Star and the artifact left by the Goddess of Wisdom can resist it...

"Ok?"

"wrong!"

"It seems there are no guards there anymore!"

His expression changed, as if he suddenly remembered something, and Perseus turned around abruptly.

That is the other side of Valhalla, a golden palace far away.

There, a familiar and sharp aura was rapidly rushing towards this place.
