My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Chapter 427 326: The Coffin That Nails Down Zeus

"The master has already been sacrificed," an old man quietly said in a magnificent and luxurious Divine Hall.

Everyone else immediately felt a shiver down their spines, but each of them began to tremble all over.

This was a splendid Divine Hall, seemingly standing atop the clouds, grand and magnificent, with towering stone pillars and pure white stones arranged within the hall, various lifelike statues could be seen.

This group seemed to be the masters of this Divine Hall, watching the withered sapling within the hall that represented the death of the Ninth Apostle.

When they looked up, even bathed in sunlight and wearing their Divine Robe, the entire chins of these "people" were covered with dense tentacles.

They resembled some ancient sea-dwelling mollusk, even though they evolved to look human. From the nose down, they appeared more like deep-sea mollusks with human skin than actual humans.

Even their mouths were hidden beneath the mass of tentacles.

When they looked up at the person sitting at the head seat, their pupils once again revealed a fanatical expression.

"The good news is, the fruit of the Divine Tree is almost ripe. After this game, the dead can nourish the Divine Tree to bear mature fruit, and I will consume this fruit to become a newly appointed Apostle, replacing the original master," the person in the lead said.

"Yes!" In the Divine Hall, all the mollusk-like beings stared fervently at the elder on the main seat.

Then, one by one, they pulled out wooden daggers from their bodies and stabbed them into their own flesh.

Blood stained the Divine Robe and dripped onto the ground, flowing through the pure white stones of the Divine Hall, forming what seemed to be a terrifying and bizarre Rune Technique.

Quickly, the flowing blood completed this technique entirely, with a red light erupting within the Divine Hall.

Behind the elder, a massive mechanism seemed to activate, like an hourglass reversing at that moment.

"Let this game known as the 'Great Expedition' be the last one," the elder murmured, as though whispering, or speaking to the hourglass-like mechanism.

As the hourglass absorbed the blood, it seemed to accumulate enough magical power to potentially reverse the world.

...

Clearly, this world's Heroic Spirit Summoning Technique does not summon the souls of the dead but rather summons a concept from history.

It's similar to if Liu Bei were summoned; it might not be the Liu Huangshu from history, nor the Liu Xuande from a Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but rather an abstract entity wielding a shotgun.

This is the principle of the Heroic Spirit Descent.

Thus, the Zeus summoned wasn't the real Zeus but a Zeus as conjured by Xue Dili's perception.

Zeus had no self-awareness, but at the moment, due to Xue Dili's preconceived notions, this version of Zeus was left with only a rigid instinct, which was...

"Fry!"

This ersatz Zeus seemed left with only this instinct, with even a single-minded obsession with reproduction and lust.

If Xue Dili were to leave, then possibly within a few days, all the noble ladies and daughters in this world would find themselves mysteriously pregnant, even the fabled septuagenarian queen might develop a bulging belly.

More terrifyingly, Xue Dili feared that in this world, every kind of animal, insect, or fish might find themselves with expanded bellies.

Then, after a while, the entire world would completely become the bloodline of Zeus...returning once more to the era of Ancient Greek tribes where they either killed or fried.

Xue Dili: "..."

What is this thing?

He was utterly pained, continually controlling Zeus through a contract, feeling that if he so much as relaxed his control, even slightly, those two young noblewomen just moments ago in the Earl's Mansion would end up with large bellies by the day's end.

Also possibly the Earl himself and old butler could end up with large bellies.

Xue Dili was not making a joke; he discovered a most pure breeding power within this Zeus, feeling that if he had been through an encounter with an automobile exhaust pipe, the car would be warped by the power of the Divine King to bear offspring.

Xue Dili felt somewhat chilled by this level of breeding authority, making even his back feel cold.

He sensed he had unleashed a terrifying monster.

It seemed like a specter, a phantasm with a sole remaining breeding authority continuously hovering over Greece. But now, this specter was summoned by Xue Dili.

Cautiously, Xue Dili dared not to continue experimenting with or dismantling Zeus's power.

He knew the moment he attempted it, this breeding authority would seize complete control over him, and he would become a tireless, thoughtless humanoid breeding machine, dominated solely by lower instincts.

Is this...Zeus's curse?

Or was it the curse of the Ninth Apostle?

Xue Dili didn't know, but at this moment, he was deeply wary, realizing that his casual experiment had unleashed such a monstrous entity.

Nonetheless, he dared not delve further into researching the Heroic Spirit Summoning Technique, at least until he resolved the issue of his mind being overtaken by primal urges.
