Chapter 968 - 968 402 Taking Ones Place in Death and Life_2

Chapter 968: Chapter 402: Taking One’s Place in Death and Life_2 Chapter 968: Chapter 402: Taking One’s Place in Death and Life_2 Facing the Ancient Evil Being, these measures are simply futile. Not to mention their special abilities, even just their strength alone, is truly on the level of a True God.

Damn, according to the records of the Olympian Pantheon, since the fall of Typhon, those powerful and undying Ancient Evil Beings scattered at the moment of their birth.

Just like this one born on the ancient Stars, it hid deep in the starry sky, not appearing for thousands of years.

No one expected it to suddenly appear today, and considering the speed of the other party, Dionysus and his companions definitely couldn’t avoid them.

To fight, I definitely can’t win. To die, naturally that won’t happen either.

To prevent his offspring, who hold no Godhood, from collapsing midway during the journey with Heracles, Zeus had taken early measures to preserve Dionysus’s life.

But what about the other two?

No matter the reason, if Heracles just went out and came back to find that all his teammates, except for the newcomer of a few days, had died, then no matter how I explain it later, I probably wouldn’t be able to regain his trust.

“…Amon, you go back first.”

Making a decisive decision, after judging the current situation, Dionysus firmly said.

“Go back, but what about you?”

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

“Don’t forget how I got here, if there really is danger, I won’t be harmed.”

Offhandedly responding, even though he had a liking for this fervent young man, Dionysus didn’t think the other could help him in this matter.

Ancient Evil Being… even the weaker ones among them could often rely on their terrifying corruption and undying life to contend against Weak Divine Power.

And those powerful beings, one only needs to look at the [Fallen Corona] to understand the clues.

So now, it seems he can only think of ways to stop the approach of the [Omen of Death Star] himself.

At the very worst, he cannot allow both of these fellows to die here.

“It doesn’t matter, I cannot die anyway.”

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

Looking at Amon who didn’t argue but obediently returned to the Star Shuttle, Dionysus felt relieved but also inevitably disappointed.

Facing a life and death crisis, this fervent young man still chose to preserve himself… but that was precisely what he wanted.

After this ordeal, he thought he could erase his identity as a newcomer and completely integrate into this team.

…

“What is…that?”

He muttered to himself, it didn’t matter before if he hadn’t noticed. But when Dionysus caught sight of that faintly visible red dot following Amon’s reminder, a suppressed feeling unknowingly surged in his heart.

Standing here, that unknown thing seemed so minute.

But considering the distance between them, that unknown existence is probably as large as Stars.

The red light twinkled, like an ever-blinking eye. And with each blink, that unnamed Celestial Body seemed to cross billions of miles of Star Domain.

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

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

“It’s attracted to something, its actual destination is the [Hall of Valor], not the edge of the Star Realm where we are.”

He spoke gravely, correcting Amon’s statement. According to the trajectory of the red dot, they are indeed not directly in its path.

Yet at this moment as he concluded, Dionysus’s expression grew even more solemn.

Attracted by something, a red star, moving through the starry sky, giving him such intense unease… when all these conditions came together, searching through his memories, Dionysus could only come to one result.

“It is… it was attracted here by the demonic aura on Heracles and the [Fallen Corona] within the Zodiac Barrier.”

“They were at the same location, hence detected by each other… Amon, I’m afraid we are really in trouble.”

“What is it?”

Raising an eyebrow, Amon asked.

“It is also a child of Typhon, yet born after its death.”

“If the Nine-Headed Snake and the Giant Lion inherited the power of The King of All Monsters, then it inherited another type of power.”

“On the day Typhon fell, countless powerful beings descended upon the world because of its demise.”

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

Dionysus looked uneasy; he never expected to encounter an Ancient Evil Being on his first day venturing into the stars, and what troubled him more was that he was far from being its match.

Not just him, even Heracles might not be able to defeat it.

After all, unlike those demons with unique and extreme Abnormal Powers, which can be tricked by understanding their unique ‘mechanisms,’ these methods are ineffective against Ancient Evil Beings. Not to mention their special abilities, their strength alone is genuinely at the True God Level.

Damn, it is recorded in the Olympian Pantheon that since Typhon’s fall, those mighty and undying Ancient Evils scattered immediately upon their birth.

Like this one, born from ancient stars, hiding deep in the starry sky, unseen for thousands of years.

No one expected it to appear suddenly today, and given its speed, Dionysus and his people would definitely not be able to avoid it.

To fight, he definitely could not overcome. To die, naturally, wasn’t necessary either.

To prevent his non-godhood bearing offspring from collapsing mid-journey while accompanying Heracles, Zeus had long implanted a life-saving method in Dionysus.

But what about the other two?

Regardless of the reason, if Heracles were to find out after a short venture that all his teammates were dead except for him, a newcomer of merely a few days, no matter the explanation, Dionysus doubted he could ever regain his trust.

“…Amon, you go back first.”

Making a quick decision upon assessing the situation, Dionysus said decisively.

“Go back, what about you?”

“I will stay… don’t worry, I have my ways.”

“Don’t forget how I got here; if I really face danger, I won’t be harmed.”

He responded casually, feeling a bit fond of this enthusiastic young man, but Dionysus didn’t think he could help with this matter.

Ancient Evil Being… even the weaker ones among them often could resist Weak Divine Power with their dreadful contamination and undying life.

And for those stronger beings, just looking at the sealed [Fallen Corona] reveals some clues.

Now it seems, he can only think of a way to stop the approach of the [Omen of Death Star] by himself.

At worst, he cannot allow both of these folks to die here.

“It’s also no problem, as I cannot die.”

“If even Father God’s methods don’t work, at most I’ll exhaust my Divine Power and fall into eternal sleep, and there will definitely come a day when I am saved, and it won’t even take too long.”

Seeing that Amon did not argue but obediently returned to the Star Shuttle, Dionysus sighed in relief but also felt inevitably disappointed.

Facing a life-and-death crisis, this enthusiastic young man still chose to preserve himself… but this is exactly what he wanted.

After this incident, he could erase his status as a newcomer and truly integrate into this team.
