Gods, I am the ancient Greek god of joy

Chapter 207: Rebellion Part

It was true. If Crazy World knew about this, he would probably be even crazier. Crazy World would not care whether the grapes were useful or not, but even if these five people wanted to vent their anger, he would skin them alive and take out their bones. He had disliked these people in the first place, and now he was determined to fight to the death.

With so many of their men deployed, they naturally knew how much Crazy World had spent to ripen this bunch of grapes. He didn't dare to do anything to the young man in front of him, but it was still the same as playing with them. When they thought of the scene of being chased by him day and night, a chill surged from the bottom of their hearts.

"Please save me, sir!" The leader was also a veteran and now could only place his hope on the young man in front of him.

Seeing that the others had calmed down, Zagreus raised his hand and pulled the pendant. The grapes immediately grew larger, but this time they did not grow to tens of meters in size. They were only the size of a thumb. Under the envious eyes of the others, he threw them directly into his mouth, chewed them a few times, and swallowed them with satisfaction.

The five people watching at this time also swallowed their saliva unconsciously, but they also knew that such a divine object was not something they could enjoy. Zagros seemed to remember something, and in the astonished eyes of several people, he directly inserted his hand into his abdomen, and then seemed to be searching for something. When he took it out again, there were five crystal clear grape seeds in his hand.

He casually threw the grape seeds over, and several people immediately hurriedly caught them. Looking at the grape seeds in their hands that emitted energy of almost the same level as theirs, they looked at Zagros with some confusion.

"Eat it. Grapes have too much energy. This grape seed is also considered one and a half A-level crystal cores. You can digest this energy. It shouldn't be difficult to break through to S-level after eating it."

When the five people heard this, they looked at each other. They had been so greedy for the grape seeds for a long time that they swallowed them directly. The moment the grape seeds entered their mouths, they immediately turned into a stream of pure energy that quickly spread to all parts of the body. They could feel that their long-rotten bodies were gaining new vitality.

At this moment, the crystal core in their brains was like an ice cube illuminated by the sun. The coldness gradually faded away, and the violence in their minds also gradually decreased. The soul that was originally compressed into the crystal core was finally liberated. Although it had been completely shattered, it was still nourishing itself. At this moment, several people finally felt a sense of fulfillment.

Before, these A-level infected bodies always felt that they were missing something and could never find the clue to break through to the S-level. Whenever the energy they accumulated reached a certain level, it would be lost inexplicably, causing them to never reach the S-level limit. However, with the liberation of their souls, they finally felt that their shortcomings were made up, and the S-level limit was directly revealed.

The breakthrough from A-level to S-level did not bring any earth-shattering visions to the outside world. Everything seemed so calm and natural, as if it was a natural outcome. When they successfully crossed this level, they realized that they had entered a whole new realm.

As they entered the S level, they finally understood why Zagros had said that even if they could not win, they could still escape, because at this time, they felt that their own bodies were no longer important, as if they had transcended the constraints of matter. The crystal cores in their bodies had disappeared, because at the S level, these external objects were of no use to them.

They are the black fog itself. According to their respective strengths, they can control black fog of different ranges to become their own domains. In these domains, they are the masters. When they reach the S-level, it actually depends on who controls more black fog and who is the boss.

They could also sense a powerful will in the black fog in the distance. The black fog occupied by that existence gave them the feeling that it was dozens of times larger than their own. In their perception, it occupied at least half of the total amount of black fog. Needless to say, who this existence was.

But now they are not afraid. They certainly cannot defeat the Mad World, but being unable to defeat it does not mean they cannot hide from it, just like the Mad World hiding from Zagreus. They can also move freely in the black fog. As long as they are careful not to be completely trapped by the Mad World's domain, they can be reborn infinitely in the black fog.

When the few people became familiar with their changes and looked at Zagros again, they originally thought that they were omnipotent, but when they looked at Zagros, their feeling did not change from before, and he still looked like an ordinary person.

The surge in strength made them a little inflated, and they wanted to use the power of the black fog to observe Zagros from another level.

But just one glance allowed them to glimpse into a world of infinite chaos. There, life was as fragile and ephemeral as withered petals, but everything was constantly reborn. The shadow of death enveloped everything, but there was an almost insane joy that accompanied it...

Everyone saw something different, but they all shared the same feeling of extreme fear and uneasiness. It felt like an invisible hand was tightly gripping their hearts, making it hard for them to breathe. They could neither understand the true meaning of this mysterious existence nor describe in words what they had seen.

"What did you see?"

A voice suddenly sounded, and to them at this moment it was like the sound of nature, the voice seemed to contain some kind of magic, and all the scenes before their eyes quickly went back, as if time was flowing backwards, and it instantly pulled them out of that extremely contradictory world. As consciousness returned, their bodies softened, and they felt as if their whole bodies were put into a blender. They could only kneel on the ground and gasp for breath due to the pain.

Zagros was curious as well. He wanted to know what he looked like in the eyes of them. His true form was invisible, inaudible and indescribable to the world. These people could only see part of his power, which was unprocessed and would be "polluted" at a glance. As the embodiment of the deepest laws in the universe, he knew his own complexity and mystery. Especially when he held multiple priesthoods at the same time, countless laws in his body collided and intertwined with each other, forming a huge and complex system. Countless truths between heaven and earth were revealed in a disordered manner.

These people could only see his knowledge that they could not understand and could not get a glimpse of the true picture at all. Looking at their bodies beginning to deform continuously, he felt helpless. If he had not woken these people up in time, they would probably have continued to deform. When the deformation reached a certain extent, they would turn into a certain energy corresponding to them and eventually merge into his body and become a part of him.

At that time, the minds of several people had completely collapsed, and they kept muttering his real name meaninglessly. If they could really endure it, they might be able to get some of his power from the invisible, but it was obvious that these people could not bear it. In fact, they had already died countless times. Every time they tried to recall, their minds would explode and die instantly because they could not bear Zagreus's existence. Fortunately, they could be resurrected in the black fog, but they could only repeat this endless torture.

Zagrous looked at the people in front of him who exploded into black mist and then were reborn from the black mist. Although their bodies were immortal, their souls had long been shattered. Zagrous still had use for them, so he could only patch up their souls and then forcibly erase some of their memories. With the disappearance of their memories, they were able to take a breath and regain their human form. However, countless deaths had left their memories incomplete. But this was their own fault, and it didn't matter whether they recovered or not. What mattered was that they had to complete the task he assigned to them.

At this moment, the minds of several people were still blank, but their eyes revealed deep fatigue and confusion. They didn't know why, but when they saw the young man in front of them, they felt sore all over, and an inexplicable fear arose.
