Gods, I am the ancient Greek god of joy

Chapter 264 Meow~

As Zagreus issued the imperial decree, a golden axe suddenly appeared above the two men's heads and chopped straight down at them. The two men wanted to dodge, but with the roar of the golden dragon, they were immediately dizzy. As the axe fell, a flash of blood passed through their bodies. It was the golden dragon of national destiny that directly severed their connection with the destiny of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Even because of the emperor's decree, these two people were marked with sin. Sin and luck are opposite things. Once they are branded with this mark by the national destiny, if it is not eliminated, everything will go wrong and they will avoid good and do bad things. Only by consuming a lot of luck can they offset the sin. This means that these two priests not only did not get a bonus to their lifespan, but instead lost a lot of luck.

"You! You little brat, you have ruined twenty years of my life for nothing. Even the lives of all the people in your Nanzhao Kingdom cannot compensate you. Now you have the protection of national destiny, and I cannot touch you. When I return to the court, I will bring a large army to the border and destroy your Nanzhao Kingdom. Then I will slaughter your entire Nanzhao royal family. I want to see how long this destiny can protect you!"

Just as Sieg finished his words, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and a team of black-armored guards wearing black helmets walked into the hall in unison. The others did not take it seriously, as they thought these people were their men, so how could they possibly obey the orders of the little emperor?

However, just as the black-armored guards poured in like a tide, the people on both sides suddenly became alert. They also realized that the situation at the scene was a bit strange. These guards in black armor actually had an inexplicable aura. Even when someone tried to wink at them, they turned a blind eye and walked straight forward.

These people were all the subordinates they had brought in before. They were all their juniors who had come out as gangsters and had never received any professional training. But now the steps of this group of people stepping into the hall were surprisingly uniform, steady and powerful, exuding an aura of being experienced in the battlefields. They naturally knew the people they brought with them, and it was absolutely impossible for them to be so uniform.

Zagreus smiled and stood up, walking to the central steps. At this time, the central aisle was already full of Black Armored Guards. Looking at the uncertain faces of the people, he said: "My dear ministers, please help me take a look. Do you think these Black Armored Guards of mine look familiar?

Oh, look at my poor memory, they are all wearing masks! Come on, take off the masks and let the ministers take a good look! "

Following Zagreus's order, everyone only heard the word "yes". The sound was like thunder, as if it would burst people's eardrums. With the blessing of the country's destiny, it frightened everyone present so much that they trembled all over.

Then, these black-armored guards turned around quickly and in unison, like well-trained machines. They faced the ministers, then stretched out their pale hands and slowly took off the heavy helmets on their heads.

In an instant, all the once familiar faces appeared before everyone without reservation. However, the scene that appeared in their eyes at this moment made them feel a chill rising from their spine, their hair stood on end, and a feeling of fear arose spontaneously.

Because the faces of every person opposite them had skin covered with dense cracks, as if something had stretched their bodies, causing their skin to crack, and dirty blood continuously flowed out from the hideous wounds, but the black armor they wore seemed to have life, and automatically shrank in front of everyone, like a greedy mouth, sucking in all the gushing blood.

People who were closer could even clearly hear a faint but clear sucking sound coming from the armor. The armor was drinking blood!

What was even more terrifying was that there was a kind of empty and lifeless look in the eyes of these familiar people, especially their eyeballs which had become grey and cloudy, and it was obvious that they had been dead for a long time!

"what!"

“Evil!”

"Ghost!".......

Many people shouted out immediately. Although they knew of the existence of these ghosts, this world has a natural fear of death, which makes the living very wary of these ghosts. Therefore, each dynasty will never tolerate them once they are discovered. Most of these people are children of aristocratic families and have never seen them so close before. In particular, many of these people are companions who usually drink and eat meat together. Now that these acquaintances meet in this way, the hall is suddenly in an uproar.

"Quiet! Anyone who makes another sound will be killed without mercy!"

Wang Shun looked at the noisy crowd below and immediately shouted. At this time, the corpses possessed by Pan below drew out their weapons one after another and raised their long swords directly to the front. Most of these people had cultivation, and when they saw the other party draw out their weapons, they immediately stopped their fear. However, there were inevitably a few timid ones. The black-armored guard in front of him raised his sword and slashed, and immediately more than a dozen heads flew up. Some people around could not help but shouting because of the splattering of blood. Then there was a flash of silver light, and the hall suddenly became much quieter.

At this time, Qige and the worshippers of the Shuiyue Dynasty took back the imperial edict hanging above their heads. Now they had lost their official status in the Nanzhao Kingdom. For some reason, the destiny of this Nanzhao Kingdom was so strange. The fortune of such a small country could not even lift their heads. Their identities as monks made them suppressed by the golden dragon. They could only temporarily take back the imperial edict of their own dynasty to save themselves.

As soon as they withdrew, those people with cultivation below suffered. Without the protection of the imperial edict, they were all exposed. After all, they were all officials of Nanzhao Kingdom. Zagreus did not allow monks to enter the hall. The spiritual energy in their bodies became stagnant, and the comfortable feeling of the spiritual energy flowing through them suddenly became like a blade crawling in the meridians.

Wang Shun saw how uncomfortable they were and lifted his control over them. He waved his hand and told the black-armored guards to retract their weapons and try to keep their bodies intact.

After seeing that the situation had stabilized, Zagreus glanced at the two former prime ministers who were sweating profusely, flicked his sleeves and pulled them back to their chairs.

"My two ministers, now that you are no longer my country's courtiers, it is time to pay for your disrespect to me!"

At this time, the two of them were already struggling just to resist the suppression of national destiny, and now they were knocked back into their chairs and found that they could not get up.

"I see that you two love this golden fleece very much. By chance, I like it too. But you two dirty old fellows have sat on it and it has become dirty. Should you compensate me with two new fleeces for this?"

At this time, Sieg couldn't listen anymore and just yelled at Zagreus, "Fengji, you really pissed me off. I was careless and fell into your trap. I was suppressed by the fate of the palace, but you couldn't kill me. Now... meh~~"

Sieg was stunned for a moment, then immediately covered his mouth. At this time, others also looked over at him, and even wondered if they had heard it wrong.

"You, what did you do to me, and you're still... meow~meow~" As Sieg spoke more and more, his voice turned into the bleating of a sheep.

Zagreus' tone became particularly gentle at this moment: "I have said before that this golden fleece is not easy to obtain. A person in the Hedao period can barely make one. Don't you want to see what the golden goat looks like? Now you can see it."

After saying this, Zagreus waved his sleeves, and suddenly a huge water mirror appeared in front of Sieg's eyes.

Through the mirror, Sieg was astonished to find that the golden fleece that was originally lying flat beneath him was actually slowly wriggling as if it had life. It curled and stretched upward at a speed visible to the naked eye, tightly wrapping around his body.

At the same time, a strong feeling of restraint suddenly came over him, especially in his thigh area. The pain was so tight that it was almost suffocating, and Zigg couldn't help but gasp.

His eyes widened in pain, but he could only make sheep-like noises. He tried desperately to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body, trying to stretch out the damn wool. However, as he used the spiritual energy, the wool that seemed soft pierced deeply into his flesh and blood like steel needles. The wool not only absorbed his flesh and blood, but also greedily sucked the spiritual energy in his body.

As spiritual energy was continuously absorbed into the wool, the golden wool that originally could only barely cover his hips and thighs seemed to have come to life. It climbed up and spread along his body at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it had covered his waist, back and even shoulders!

At this moment, he could clearly feel an indescribable pain coming from the skin that was tightly attached to the wool. He could feel countless soft needles piercing his skin and entwining around his bones.

The pain was like being gnawing at the same time by tens of millions of ants or being burned by fire, which was unbearable for him. He curled up his body involuntarily, and as the sheepskin on his body continued to tighten, a "crunch, crunch" sound of broken bones began to come from his body. This was because the structure of humans and sheep was different. He now had a lot of useless bones and could only be squeezed by the golden fleece.

His body became more and more bent and swaying, and finally he lost his balance and fell off the chair in a miserable state. When everyone saw that a big man in the Hedao period was tortured like this, they all shut their mouths and dared not say anything.

The changes in Sieg's body have not stopped yet. Along with the tragic cry of sheep, the golden fleece shining with mysterious light seemed to extend to a certain extent and began to shrink slowly, trying to completely wrap up Sieg's body. As the sheepskin on his body shrank, Sieg's body began to twist and deform alarmingly.

The limb structure that originally belonged to humans was unexpectedly shaped into the appearance of a goat bit by bit under the influence of a powerful force. His limbs became strong and powerful, and the golden wool became upright and fluffy as the sheepskin shrank. The once familiar face now gradually revealed the unique outline of a goat.

Then, the extra bones in Sieg's body seemed to be driven by some strange energy and became restless. They were like piles of stones, struggling desperately to break through the constraints of the flesh. Countless sharp bone fragments pierced Sieg's skin and muscles. The pressure in his body seemed to have found an outlet, and blood mixed with a large amount of unknown flesh and blood fragments gushed out.

These bone stumps did not fall off as expected. Instead, they continued to grow and extend at an astonishing speed, and gradually bent into a pair of huge and ferocious horns. As they took shape, the horns gradually turned golden, as if they were made of gold.

The worshiper of the Shuiyue Dynasty on the other side was so scared that he was shaking all over, because he felt that the sheepskin under his butt seemed to have begun to wriggle. He watched as the golden goat the size of a person opposite him slowly stood up, shook its hair, and instantly shook off the blood that had been stained on its body. The golden wool was like golden silk thread while shaking, shining with an attractive luster. What was even more terrifying was that after the golden goat stood up, it actually took the initiative to walk towards the instigator, and rubbed his palm with its head affectionately.

Zagrous smiled and patted the golden horns. The golden goat tactfully walked to the side. Zagrous swept his eyes across the audience again. At this time, everyone was silent and lowered their heads.

Zagreus finally set his sights on the priest of the Shuiyue Dynasty. "The Golden Priest, right? I said that I suddenly got two golden goats today, but now I only have one. Look..."

Upon hearing this, the face of the Golden Worshiper changed drastically. He felt the cushion under his buttocks begin to tighten, and he was so scared that his hair stood up. He realized at this moment that the national destiny hovering in the sky was just a toy of the little emperor. The reason why it could fight against them was because the new ruler was powerful. His true strength was definitely at the peak of the Hedao period. If it were not for the news of the fall of some god, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was at that level.

Now that he thought about it, everything he and others had done was just a farce in his eyes. He might end up following Sieg's footsteps, so he was so scared that he immediately shouted:

"Your Majesty, wait, I have something to say!"

When Zagreus heard this, he hooked his finger, and instantly the wool on the golden priest's body stopped spreading.

Seeing that something was going to happen, Jin Gongfeng hurriedly said, "Don't you want to know how we forced you to occupy the official position of Nanzhao? It was someone from Nanzhao who cooperated with our Shuiyue Dynasty and issued an imperial decree for you!"

Zagreus raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Oh! Is there anyone in my palace who can bypass my authority and use dragon energy directly? Tell me who it is?"

"She's the Queen Mother, no, now she's the Grand Queen Mother of Nanzhao!"

"Grand Empress Dowager? Why don't I remember such a person? Wang Shun, do you know her?"

When Jin Gongfeng heard this, he immediately knew that his guess was correct. The man in front of him was definitely not the crown prince of Nanzhao. Even the Empress Dowager didn't know about it. In order to gain merit, he hurriedly spoke before Wang Shun: "There is indeed such a person, but she has been guarding the spirit of the retired emperor. She is also the support of the Wei family. Now the fourth prince Feng Zeng is hidden by her!"
