Chapter 526: No Distractions in Mind, Draw the Sword of Nature

Letting a trickster god resurrect at will, wouldn't it make Rorschach seem like a very casual man? What really reassured him was Hercules' statement:
Balaam will fight for the remnants of the god of wine to revive himself, firstly to restore a "Thoth", and secondly to completely eliminate the hidden dangers left by Dionysus, the god of wine.

If successful, it will kill two birds with one stone and everyone will be happy.
"I'll give you the caduceus, Rorschach. If Dionysus wins, let him completely occupy the body you built with divine power, and then kill him in one fell swoop to eliminate the trouble forever." As for what would happen to Balan Thoth, it seemed that Hercules had not considered it at all.

Leading the Paladins to this place was also expected that they would begin to pray and expel evil spirits, drawing the power of the Lord of Light and Order to descend upon the main material plane in order to suppress the Dionysus who might take the opportunity to revive.

Rorschach was moved by Hercules' perfect plan and sincere attitude. At least now He was helping mankind in accordance with the will of the Lord of Light and Order, and it was definitely not because he took someone else's caduceus.

It feels light and has fine workmanship. When Luo Xia holds the willow branch-made staff, the warm and resilient surface gives him an excellent touch. The twin snakes on it are lifelike, and there are gathered feathers on the head of the staff.

Just by holding it, Rorschach's body felt a lot lighter, and his perception of the magic in the environment reached a new level.

The paladin was already praying and moving forward, and had touched the edge of the ruins of the altar on the top of the mountain. Rorschach and Hercules needed these tools to guide the power of light, but they couldn't let them interrupt the ceremony now.

Rorschach hid aside and waved his double snake staff, and all the paladins fell into dreams. They still kept moving forward, but they had closed their eyes. Some could not keep their balance and fell straight down, but they would not wake up at all.

This was a powerful hypnosis. The magic power from the twin snake staff made them fall into a dream from which they could not wake up on their own. The so-called paladins, as long as they did not reach the level of living saints, were nothing more than mortals in the final analysis. If Rorschach had evil intentions, he could easily make these warriors sleep forever.

Rorschach waved his staff again and drew a circle in the air. The dreams of all the sleeping people were connected and he could see through them.

All the scenes of the Paladins in the dream are still on the mountain. The mountain itself is also an echo of history and a projection of legend, running through the ocean of reality and unconsciousness. Rorschach suddenly received a short message from Hercules:
"Find a way to support the Lord's warriors and destroy the afterimage of the God of Wine in the dream. The Lord of Order has already locked onto this place, so the real world is safe for now."

After Hercules finished speaking, Rorschach realized that the sun had reached noon without them noticing. All the paladins were sleeping soundly in the golden light, while the soldiers who came up were desperately looking for wine and beautiful women, but they only saw strange wine glasses and people whose faces they could not see clearly.

He is muscular and fit, which makes people can't help but admire him, but it doesn't give rise to the slightest lustful intention.

Rorschach's clone has now had all the features associated with the original body erased. It almost combines all the perfect elements of the concept of "human" and can be said to be the original of the intelligent creature "human".

[Axiom Creation], Rorschach did not intend to complete a spell that only existed in theory. The form it created had the initial foundation to carry the gods.

As for the soldiers, when they saw that vague, perfect and sacred person, subtle emotions such as jealousy and inferiority were aroused, and they unconsciously pointed their guns at this target.

But soon, the sunlight grew stronger again, and the soldiers who reached the top of the mountain were blinded by the brightness.

Rorschach saw that he was no longer needed in the real world, so he turned his attention to the window of the dream. He raised the double snake staff, and first the wings on the staff head spread out, and the power inside became stronger. He then imitated Hercules' "prank" on him: using the blazing fire to give the staff a "flaming sword skin"

The paladins were completely unaware of their true situation, and only felt an extraordinary warmth throughout their bodies.

Then a horrifying scene appeared in the woods: a young man with wet hair and no decent clothes was beating an old man like a wild beast.

He beat him for a while, smashed the wine jar, and used the sharp pottery shards to hit the old man's belly.
"Don't look anymore." A gentle reminder sounded, but there was no way to refuse, so all the paladins closed their eyes. The gentle voice continued: "This is the god of wine devouring the god of dreams. Before the old empire, when the glory of the Lord of Order did not shine widely, there were many primitive and bloody gods."

The captain found that he could open his eyes, so he quickly grasped the cross sword and got into a fighting stance. Then he saw a young man in a white robe and holding a flaming sword standing between himself and the god of wine.

"who are you?"

".I am a cherubim, the angel of the Lord." Rorschach recalled the mythical beast he saw in the Temple of Thoth and used a random name to fool people.

"No, you are talking nonsense, claiming to be the messenger of the Lord and deceiving us." All the paladins were extremely nervous. They knew that the young man in front of them must be very powerful, but they could not judge his true face. For almost all contemporary paladins, they had never seen a human-shaped angel that could communicate.

So the leader said slowly: "You must be a demon, a ghost."

Rorschach's ears rang with Hercules' reminder from behind the scenes again, and he immediately put on a serious expression: "Leedsop, repent! There are good and evil in the world, there are angels of the Lord, and there are evil demons, but you can't easily make a conclusion? Leedsop, you have to be alert, under the packaging of vigilance is hidden arrogance."

All the Paladins were immediately convinced and accepted Rorschach's temporary cosplay, because what he just said was very consistent with the setting. Everyone said: This is it!
"Please forgive me. I am being vigilant in order to be responsible for the brothers I lead. We will always be pious to the Lord and the Lord's angels." The leader remained vigilant and did not easily accept the words of the "angel" who came from an unknown source. He just cooperated temporarily due to the current situation, just like he did with the paladin on the other side.

Rorschach accepted the other party's apology, and he began to instruct the members of the Paladin: "We have to kill an old god and block the possibility of him escaping from the dream."

Alcohol, dazed states and absurd dreams have been intertwined since ancient times. Rorschach was shocked at first, thinking that the old man being devoured by the god of wine was Balaam, but through analysis he was convinced that the one who was killed was not the cunning old prophet, but the god of dreams.

It is not known whether the Dionysus here is the only one or a clone. Apparently, He intends to gain more energy by devouring the remnants of another era so as to win the resurrection match with the God of Trickster.

Of course, neither Hercules nor Rorschach would allow the existence of powerful gods in the dream world.

He waved the flaming sword transformed from the double snake staff, and the paladins' spirits were instantly shaken - this was the Lord's blessing! And it was extremely clear and strong, completely making them surrender.

The knights from both places rushed to the devouring scene without hesitation.

In response to the aggressive ritual destroyers, another manifestation of Dionysus' power appeared in the woods: female tree spirits emerged one after another and fought fiercely with the paladins.

These little elves are another manifestation of the power of Dionysus, and also hint at his connection with the Earth Mother. Their faces are so beautiful that they make people trance, and their laughter with hiccups is cute and lovely. Unfortunately, these tree spirits are facing religious berserkers who can only swing their swords hard and give their enemies a fatal blow with absolute fairness.

Rorschach was a little surprised at the strong will of these paladins. After all, they were dreaming and their desires were not magnified.

The unusual movement caused Dionysus to stop his "meal". He stared directly at the strongest interferer, Rorschach, and blood as bright as wine dripped from between his teeth and lips.
