"Welcome to the wedding of Dionysus!"
The wedding of Phoebedis and Adne, the god of wine, in the ancient myth of Wim.
Although the happy time between the two of them did not last long after that wedding, legend has it that they soon came to a tragic end. But that wedding was obviously deeply engraved in the memory of Crazy Godhead, so much so that even after thousands of years, he would still use his divine power to look back on that time.
He seems willing to invite everyone to witness that long-lost time. Adne has long since become a withered skeleton, and the gods who appeared on the scene have long since sailed away (only a few lingering ones remain out of place in this increasingly decadent world).
The jeweled crown given to her has become a star shining in the north.
Facing the passage of time and the passing of the past, gods seem to be as powerless as humans. When they cannot face the weight of their grief, they retreat into the past.
Bonfires danced in the dark. This is the biggest party by the forest.
"Adne, Adne..." The crazy godhead of Dionysus calmed down for the first time. He walked step by step, pushing aside the noisy guests, and walked step by step towards the goddess in her heart...
He didn't need to be distracted at all to "take care of" the Laughing Man and his party who were invited to the wedding. In this slightly crazy "miracle", they will naturally get drunk and dance to death!
Perhaps Sean Dickinson was most worried about making an enemy of the Dionysian Phoebedis.
He dares to step into the City of Two Suns and rescue his teammates in the empty palace under the scorched yellow sky; he can also cross the deep carriages, knock on the door of the black sun, and wake up Paxitrik to drive away Those who dare to enslave God...
But from the bottom of his heart he didn't want to meet Dionysus. Because in this modern era, these self-proclaimed sensible and decent gentlemen, in this carnival era after the lifting of prohibition, no one does not love it——
liquor.
Whether it's him or Moonlight, each of them loves wine. Love what is in the cup and use it as a spice of happiness, as if it is a right given to them by God...
And this knowledge made it impossible for them to face the "miracle" of Phoepides.
There are fine wines prepared for the gods, and the wines here have been blessed by the God of Dionysus!
Every one of them - the Laughing Man, Long Island Bill, the Agent of the Dead, the Sleepless Midnight and the Holy Night Executioner, all the remaining people rushed into the scene trembling.
Following the rich scent of floral honey, they grabbed the horn cup, and to the astonishment of some people or gods, they scooped up the honey-like wine from the barrel and poured it into their thirsty throats!
Bacchus, Phoepidus, praise you!
The hot fluid poured into the throat and entered the stomach. The evil spirits seeped into the blood vessels and were washed away by the blood to the limbs.
Bacchus, Phoebedis, I praise you!
They drank cup after cup, as if they were never satisfied. They have never tasted such fragrant, sweet and refreshing wine!
Phoebedis and Adne, bless you forever!
The wine was like poison, and carnival music reached their ears. There seemed to be fire demons twisting and dancing on the rising bonfire. They held the hands of the people, gods and beasts around them, and sang and danced loudly around the bonfire, as if they were in a state of madness.
And Phoepidus, the god of wine, has already walked into the more shameless forest, rubbing elbows with his eternal lover.
At this moment, for him, the Laughing Man and his party cannot be called enemies at all.
The revelers didn't know how many dead bones were buried in the loess they stepped on - they were all people invited to this place by the God of Dionysus, and they all spent their lives in endless drinking and revelry...
In the Black Mansion, Sean, who controlled Shawshank Rogers, fell into a state of madness. His expression was painful, and he struggled to resist the temptation of wine and carnival. But it was of no use at all. The souls of the entire team danced with the Laughing Man...
He felt extremely happy in his heart and saw the sparks on the bonfire flying into the sky, as if burning through the sky and turning into stars in the sky. He saw smiles on the faces of the people around him, and the women twisted their waists, which was particularly beautiful. He felt that this forest land was constantly rising, getting closer to the palace in the sky, getting closer to the place of the gods...
Isn’t the meaning of life just to be extremely happy?
Wandering here, why not even die? !
This is a "Midnight Paradise" for adults!
"Moonlight..." Sean heard a cold voice ringing in his soul. He didn't like that voice at the moment. It was too calm and incompatible with the banquet. "Xiao has lost control. What about you? How are you?"
"moonlight?!"
Evan Burns's voice was like the north wind whistling through the woods. Like an ascetic, he has always kept a distance from the pleasures of the world and never drinks alcohol. The dangerous liquid has no attraction for him, and even makes him a little disgusted because of its intoxicating characteristics.
In this ultimate orgy of Dionysus, as part of the Laughing Man's soul, he was able to stay awake.
He discovered that Moonlight 1902 was reveling with Sean in the Laughing Man's soul, playing the piano to great brilliance.
They also drink, drink more.
"Olivier." He had to turn to his only remaining teammate.
"I'm here." The daughter of Seiko sounded helpless.
"Can you take over control of the Laughing Man?"
"No. Unless Sean authorizes it, otherwise..."
An impasse was reached. Evan Burns could only think of other strategies.
If the Laughing Man is allowed to continue dancing wildly, the souls of the four of them will be severely damaged, and their lives may be threatened...
Suddenly, in the black mansion, a golden flame burned between Sean's eyebrows. He yelped at the intense burning pain and was able to snap out of his ecstasy briefly.
"Damn it! It's him!" Sean roared. As an explorer who had just begun to gain supernatural powers, he never thought that he would fall into a situation out of control. He secretly prayed not to meet Phoebedis, but it obviously didn't work.
However, he used Ms. Night Breeze's magical power to set up a mechanism. As long as he fell out of control, he would be burned by the oath torch and be temporarily awakened.
The freedom from control does not last long. He could only seize the moment.
"Olivia, you will be in control next." As soon as he finished speaking, Sean stepped down from the Laughing Man's personality and handed it over to Olivia.
Just a few seconds later, Sean returned to his ecstatic state.
At the soul level, Ivan signaled to Olivia: "The only thing left to do now is the two of us."
"Um."
"You control the Laughing Man's body, and I'll control the Rusty Heart."
"Um."
"……let's start."
In the black mansion, Olivia Wind Chime, who had closed her eyes suddenly opened her eyes. At the same time, the King who was dancing wildly at the banquet also stopped dancing wildly.
He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were bright red with a circle of light gold around the edges, like blood contained in a golden cup.
