Gods, I am the ancient Greek god of joy

Chapter 267 Transition

"What are you still standing there for? The Emperor's bloodline has been harmed. Why don't you make amends and work together to capture this thief? Otherwise, neither you nor I will have a good ending!"

At this time, Queen Mother Wei was also panicked. In name, she was the grandmother of the fourth prince, but in reality, he was her master. Now that her master was dead, she, as a servant, would probably not have a good ending.

Seeing that she was still not behaving herself, Zagreus picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at the woman who was about to make a scene. In an instant, the tea turned into a misty vapor in the air, and quickly enveloped the Empress Dowager like a layer of gauze.

At this moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from the Queen Mother's body, and a majestic golden phoenix flapped its wings and flew high, circling around her, as if trying to disperse the fog. Zagreus snorted coldly when he saw it, and suddenly pressed his right hand. A powerful force surged in, instantly pinning the golden phoenix to the ground, and no matter how it struggled, it could not break free.

Without the protection of the Golden Phoenix of Fortune, the Empress Dowager, who was originally conscious, seemed to have lost her mind. She obediently took out the Phoenix Seal, a symbol of power, from her arms and handed it to Zagreus personally. Zagreus took the Phoenix Seal with a slight smile on his face. Then he grabbed the ferocious Golden Phoenix and crushed it into a ball of energy. He rubbed it with his hands to remove the tricks of the Water Moon Dynasty. After seeing it regain consciousness, he stuffed it directly into the Phoenix Seal.

As the Golden Phoenix entered the Phoenix Seal, the hole in the Nanzhao Kingdom's luck being stolen by the Shuiyue Dynasty was sealed. The Phoenix Seal, which had been dull, glowed brightly again, and the Nanzhao Kingdom's luck contained in it continued to flow back like a tide. At the same time, a dragon and a phoenix flew out in an instant, circling over the Nanzhao Kingdom, and also drove away a lot of evil spirits. After confirming that all the luck had returned, he nodded with satisfaction, and then casually placed the Phoenix Seal and the jade seal beside it on the table.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager seemed to have suddenly aged dozens of years, and her whole body was wilted. For so many years, she had been stealing the fortune of the Nanzhao Kingdom through the Phoenix Seal. She also got some kickbacks when transferring the fortune, which is why she looked so young. Now that the real Golden Phoenix has returned, she will naturally suffer the backlash of the national fortune.

"Come here, help the Empress Dowager to go down and have a rest. Can't you see she is exhausted? Take this prince with you. An old man always needs a companion!"

Two black-armored guards immediately walked out of the hall, picked up the Grand Empress Dowager and started dragging her out. However, the Grand Empress Dowager was obviously a little crazy, and she shouted hysterically: "Let me go! Let me go! I am the Grand Empress Dowager of Nanzhao, how dare you do this to me!"

Zagreus had no interest in her at this moment. He had already obtained what he wanted, so he naturally did not need to be so polite to her. He pretended to scold her: "How dare she make such a scene in this palace. Pass on my order. From today on, the Empress Dowager is not allowed to leave the Imperial Mausoleum, and no one is allowed to visit!"

Looking at the Empress Dowager being dragged out, Zagreus' ears finally quieted down. He said this to stabilize the people's hearts in Nanzhao. After all, she was an Empress Dowager and she had to sympathize with the people's feelings. It's just that this imperial mausoleum is remote, and once this person goes in, there will probably be an earthquake, and the imperial mausoleum will then be completely sealed, which can be regarded as a complete burial of this royal scandal.

Now the Jade Seal and the Phoenix Seal, which symbolize supreme power, are both in place, which means that the destiny of the Nanzhao Kingdom has finally fallen into the control of Zagros. At this moment, the dragon and phoenix that were originally soaring in the sky began to undergo a passive transformation under the influence of Zagros's own strength!

The golden dragon, which had originally only been flying over the imperial capital, began to emit a dazzlingly bright light. Each golden scale seemed to be inlaid with countless gems, flashing dazzling light. There was also an indescribable and unexplorable law flowing in it. This was the influence of Zagreus' divine power. As the light continued to increase, the golden dragon's body was gradually growing at an astonishing speed. Its already spectacular body now became as majestic as a mountain.

The slender and flowing dragon whiskers danced in the air with the wind, like lively ribbons; the sharp dragon claws waved casually, stirring up bursts of colorful clouds.

The golden phoenix on the side was not willing to be outdone. Its colorful feathers were like burning flames, emitting a brilliant and strange glow. From a distance, it looked like the most magnificent clouds in the sky. The colorful phoenix gently stretched out its huge and gorgeous wings, and its movements were light and graceful. Every time it flapped its wings, the surrounding air was dyed with a layer of sacred and solemn colors.

As the transformation of the dragon and phoenix continued, the entire sky was shrouded in the powerful aura they emitted. The surrounding clouds and mist surged, forming a huge vortex that continuously absorbed spiritual energy between heaven and earth to nourish the entire Nanzhao Kingdom.

Such a big movement naturally could not be concealed from other forces. Originally, most of the world's spiritual energy was occupied by forty-nine dynasties. Now that there is suddenly one more country, it is natural that a share will be taken from them.

"Someone else has become a god?", "Which god has fallen?", "No, there are strange signs in the sky when a god falls, a new god has appeared!", "Go check it out!"........

The gods of many dynasties were awakened by the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth. Now there was actually the fiftieth god in the world, which had never happened before. Many people began to communicate in the void with divine thoughts. At the same time, the Heavenly Dao hidden in the fragments of the world in their bodies began to surge with a strong sense of uneasiness. Although it had no memory, this change made it feel afraid.

The fragments of the Heavenly Dao began to feel uneasy. It was obvious that the newly appeared god also had the aura of the world's fragments, but this aura made it feel like it had encountered a natural enemy. This uneasiness even affected every god. At this time, they actually had a feeling of being targeted by a prey, and they became hostile to the newly appeared god without realizing it.

Putting aside how gods communicate with each other, just the changes in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, the first ones to notice the abnormality were naturally the two emperors Long Yuan and Shui Yue who were closest to the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Faced with such a sudden change, Long Yuan and Shuiyue Emperor did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. They both thought that some god wanted to invade their territory. This kind of sneak attack was common among gods, so the two of them made a prompt decision to stabilize and strengthen the defense of their respective dynasties.

After they had no worries, they released their spiritual thoughts to try to find the location of the spiritual energy fluctuations. At first, both of them thought that it was the other party's doing. After all, both of them were determined to conquer the Nanzhao Kingdom. But then their spiritual thoughts met directly at the border.

"Shuiyue old ghost, what do you want to do!"

"I was just wondering, wasn't it you who came up with this big deal?"

The two were stunned for a few seconds when they heard this. They looked at the Nanzhao Kingdom not far away. At this time, it was like a black hole and they could not see anything at all. At this time, the two also felt that things were not good. They had been fighting for decades and knew each other's methods very well. If the other party had the ability, they would have directly attacked the imperial city. Why bother to put on a show in this small Nanzhao Kingdom.

"It really wasn't you who did this?" Long Yuan was silent for a while before asking.

"No!" Shuiyue also fell silent.

"Could it be that the god who suddenly appeared out of nowhere is hiding here?" In an instant, this thought flashed through the minds of the two people like a flash of lightning. They immediately realized this, and then, a fiery light flashed in their eyes at the same time.

The two men found it incredible that this newly-promoted god actually chose to rely on the insignificant Nanzhao Kingdom as his foothold. They didn't believe that this man didn't know that there were two dynasties nearby. How much luck could a mere Nanzhao Kingdom have? Even if he became a god with this, how could he compare with their own old dynasty?

Unless something happened to this god before his breakthrough and he had no choice but to choose Nanzhao Kingdom to become a god. In that case, it was not a God-given opportunity. Now is the perfect opportunity to deal a heavy blow to this new god while he is still underdeveloped.

After all, to them, the flesh and blood of a god is undoubtedly a priceless treasure, not to mention a new destiny!

The two looked at each other, and released their abilities with understanding, disrupting the energy around the dynasty. Nanzhao was in the marginal area, and was sandwiched between the two dynasties at the edge of the world. The energy around their two dynasties was disordered, and other gods could not detect the breath of Nanzhao. The two of them were new gods who wanted to monopolize Nanzhao. The disorder of energy made outsiders think that they were fighting, so they would usually stay away from them to avoid being misunderstood. After all, this was a common thing between gods.

Little did they know that because of this, the other gods could not find the location of the new god.

After making sure that the aura of Nanzhao would not be transmitted to the outside world, Long Yuan said: "Let's work together to take down the new god first, and we can talk about the rest later!"

Shuiyue nodded, and the two of them immediately mobilized their own national destiny to begin to blockade the Nanzhao Kingdom, fearing that the new god would escape. As they watched the destiny gradually begin to gather around them, they were already imagining how to concoct this new god. What they never expected was that just as their divine thoughts had just stepped into the territory of the Nanzhao Kingdom, the scene before them suddenly changed drastically.

I thought I was facing the city in my previous memories, but what replaced it was a desolate world.

Then, a force as heavy as a mountain suddenly attacked them, almost suffocating them. It felt like they were carrying the weight of the entire world, making it unbearable for them. The two of them immediately mobilized their own spiritual power to try to resist this sudden pressure, but to their surprise, despite using all their strength, they still could not get rid of the restraint of this force.

To make matters worse, they realized with horror that they were falling rapidly like a kite with a broken string. They looked down and saw a vast ocean with no end in sight. The water was dark and bottomless, like a huge black hole that was about to swallow everything.

Facing the sea water under their feet, the two men were alarmed and did not dare to be negligent. They tried their best to use spiritual power to cushion their feet. Finally, at the last moment, they stopped their fall with the spiritual power. However, the energy in this space was disordered. After some difficult efforts, the two men finally condensed a fragile boat under their feet.

But this was only a temporary respite, because they soon realized that this strange ocean seemed to have some strange power that was constantly eroding the spiritual energy in their bodies. No matter how hard they struggled, it was difficult to prevent the spiritual energy from being gradually consumed.

In desperation, the two had no choice but to work together to keep the direction steady. They had never thought that they could still cooperate with each other after ascending to the throne of God. However, even if they tried their best, they still felt that they were not up to the task. Now, not only was the sea water under their feet eroding their spiritual power, but even the strong winds around them were also consuming their spiritual energy. One of them could only be responsible for the ground and the other for the surroundings.

Zagros stared at the basin of water on the table, tapping the edge of the basin with one hand. The originally calm surface of the water gradually began to ripple, and circles of tiny ripples slowly spread out. In Zagros' eyes, they were just some seemingly insignificant movements, but once they were reflected in the world where Shuiyue and Longyuan lived, they instantly caused huge waves on the sea.

In an instant, Shuiyue and Long Yuan felt a sudden darkness in front of their eyes. They looked up involuntarily and saw a huge wave covering the sky crashing down towards them. The next second, the two were knocked into the deep sea by this huge wave.

At that moment, when their skin touched the sea water, an irresistible pain suddenly hit them. The pain spread throughout their bodies like an electric current, causing them to tremble involuntarily. The spiritual energy in their bodies was corroded by the sea water in the blink of an eye. Their skin began to fester and fall off, revealing their white bones. Their muscles were also melting at an alarming speed. Blood continued to gush out, dyeing the surrounding sea water a dark red.

It all happened so fast that they had no time to react, but at the last moment before their consciousness was about to dissipate, suddenly the world seemed to be frozen, and their disappearing thoughts were also frozen. Then the two saw a pair of mysterious eyes flash by in the sky.

Those eyes were like the deep starry sky, containing endless mysteries and power. Even though they had become gods in the eyes of the world, they had never come into contact with such great power. The owner of those eyes seemed to be watching them. In that brief eye contact, the two felt an unprecedented fear, and then they saw a white hand from the sky reaching into the world and grabbing them. When the two were about to be caught, suddenly a golden light flashed in their bodies, propping up a barrier, and Zagros' palm was also blocked for a moment. Zagros exerted force, and the golden barrier shattered, but the two people inside also disappeared on the spot.
