Chapter 967 - 967 402 Taking Ones Place in Death and Life

Chapter 967: Chapter 402: Taking One’s Place in Death and Life Chapter 967: Chapter 402: Taking One’s Place in Death and Life “That is… what?”

Muttering to himself, it would have been fine if he hadn’t noticed it before. But when Dionysus caught sight of that faintly visible red dot, following Amon’s hint, a sense of oppression surged into his heart without knowledge of when it started.

Standing here, that unknown thing seemed so tiny.

But considering the distance between the two, that unknown entity was likely as large as the stars.

The red gleam flickered like a blinking eye. And with every flicker, the nameless celestial body seemed to traverse billions of miles across the star domain.

After observing for a moment, Dionysus came to another conclusion.

“No, it’s not heading towards us, or rather… our location is merely a ‘passing by’ point for it at best.”

“It’s being drawn to something, its true destination is the Hall of Valor, not the edge of the star realm where we are.”

Speaking solemnly, he corrected Amon’s statement. According to the red dot’s trajectory, they were indeed not directly ahead.

However, as he came to this conclusion, Dionysus’s expression grew even more grave.

Attracted by something, a red star moving through the stars, inducing such intense unease… When all these conditions came together, scouring his memory, Dionysus could only come to one possible conclusion.

“It’s that… it is drawn here by the demon aura on Heracles and the Fallen Corona in the Zodiac Barrier.”

“They reside at the same spot, hence they were sensed by the other… Amon, I’m afraid we’re truly in trouble.”

“What is it?”

Raising an eyebrow, Amon asked.

“It is also a child of Typhon, but it was born after its death.”

“If the Nine-Headed Hydra and the Giant Lion inherited the King of All Monsters’ demonic strength, then they inherited another kind of power.”

“On the day of Typhon’s fall, countless mighty beings descended into the world because of its ‘whale fall’.”

“It is one of them, the [Ancient Evil: Star of Death Omens].”

His complexion not looking too good, Dionysus never imagined that on his first day venturing into the starry sky, he would encounter an Ancient Evil Being, and what made him even more troubled was that he was not a match for it.

Not just he himself, but even Heracles might not be able to overcome it.

After all, unlike those demons with unique abnormal powers, who could be deceptively dubbed as ‘extreme oddities’, defeating them could be done with tricks; once their unique ‘mechanisms’ are deciphered, it might not be impossible to win despite a lack of strength.

However, against an Ancient Evil Being, those methods are nothing but futile. Not to mention their special abilities, their strength alone is solidly on the True God Level.

Damn it, according to the records of the Olympian Pantheon, since Typhon’s fall, those mighty and undying Ancient Evil Beings scattered across the world at the moment of their birth.

Like this one born on an ancient star, it has hidden in the depths of the starry sky, not reappearing for thousands of years.

No one expected it to suddenly appear today, and given its speed, Dionysus and his companions definitely couldn’t avoid it.

To fight, he certainly wouldn’t win. To die, naturally, it wouldn’t come to that.

To prevent his godhood-less offspring from perishing midway on the journey alongside Heracles, Zeus had long left life-saving means within Dionysus.

But if he himself could live, what about the other two?

For whatever reason, if Heracles just went out and returned to find that all his teammates, except for a newcomer like himself, had died, then no matter how he would explain it later, it might be impossible to regain his trust.

“… Amon, you go back first.”

Making a decisive judgment on the current situation, Dionysus spoke resolutely.

“Go back, and you?”

“Of course I will stay… don’t worry, I have my own means.”

“You shouldn’t forget how I came here, if there’s real danger, I won’t be harmed.”

Nonchalantly responding, although he had some fondness for this passionate young man, Dionysus didn’t think the other could help with this matter.

Ancient Evil Beings… even the weaker ones among them could often rely on their terrible contamination and undying life to contend with Weak Divine Power.

And those strong entities, just look at the sealed Fallen Corona to comprehend what they are capable of.

So now, it seems, he can only find his own way to stop the Omen of Death Star from approaching.

At the very least, he can’t let these two fellows die here.

“It’s fine, after all, I can’t die.”

“If even the Father God’s measures don’t work, at most I will deplete my Divine Power and fall into eternal sleep, then there will be a day when I’m rescued, and it probably won’t take too long.”

Watching Amon not argue but obediently return to the Star Shuttle, Dionysus let out a sigh of relief, but also couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.

Faced with a life-and-death crisis, this passionate young man still chose to preserve himself… but that was exactly what Dionysus wanted.

After this experience, he should be able to eliminate his status as a new member and fully integrate into the team.

······

Even not just himself, but even Heracles might not be able to overcome it.

After all, unlike those demons with unique abnormal powers, who could be deceptively dubbed as ‘extreme oddities’, defeating them could be done with tricks; once their unique ‘mechanisms’ are deciphered, it might not be impossible to win despite a lack of strength.
