Gods, I am the ancient Greek god of joy

Chapter 196: On the Grapevine in the Black Mist

However, there is indeed a sight watching him in the endless black fog. Crazy World doesn't know what Zagros is going to do, but he feels that he must know what his purpose is. So, relying on the fact that the world is full of black fog, Zagros can't do anything to him, so his actions become much more presumptuous.

Zagreus's mental power at this moment was like a huge net, covering the entire sky.

At this moment, he could see that the crazy world seemed to have completely broken free from its constraints, and was enjoying the freedom brought by the black fog. With the help of the black fog that permeated the world, it could transform into thousands of forms, and its breath was everywhere, making it impossible for Zagros to completely find his existence. After all, he was the master in the black fog.

The Crazy World's body did not fully revive his consciousness, because he knew that complete resurrection was not the best option for him. His current state was the most helpless time for him. As long as he did not fully revive, his body would be able to perfectly merge with the spiritual energy in the world and become a part of it. In this way, as long as he hid himself, even Gaia would not be able to find him.

Moreover, the outbreak of this wave of black fog was his biggest backup plan, and it really made him rich. The world is now completely divided into two forces. In Zagros's eyes, the world has been ruined, and now it is either black or white. The withering of all species has left this world with only two forces, one is the infected body of the old heaven, and the other is the human beings in the common camp of Gaia and Alaya. Whoever survives to the end will become the true master of the world.

As the Crazy World of the old Heavenly Dao, this time he turned all his strength into black fog and made a desperate attempt. The surge in infected bodies in the world during this period caused the proportion of world authority to fluctuate. As a result, the sharp decline in the number of humans has indeed weakened Gaia's control over the world. A part of the world's authority was taken back by the Crazy World, so now the actions of the Crazy World have also been relaxed a lot.

Today, there are thirty A-level psychics among humans. This is the maximum number that Gaia and Alaya can gather, and they are responsible for protecting the safety and stability of various regions.

However, the Crazy World also used some fragments of its own body to carefully select some infected bodies, prompting them to break through to the A-level realm. A rough estimate is that there are about twenty such beings. Although the number is relatively small, the strength of each infected body slightly exceeds that of humans. Coupled with their fearless nature, the two forces are temporarily in a state of mutual check and balance.

But now the coming of the black fog has put all humans in a situation where they can't take care of themselves, but the infected bodies have grown wildly during this period. Now these A-level infected bodies are taking advantage of the chaos within humanity to spread the virus from the black fog. They don't have to do anything, just stand near the human camp in an empty corner and let some blood increase the virus content nearby. Coupled with the corruption of the crazy world's black fog on people's hearts, large-scale mutations are likely to occur.

Fortunately, humans have the support of vaccines and systems. After research by scientists on this side, they have found that a large number of crystal cores can be used to create a purification barrier, which gives humans some respite.

Zagreus casually grabbed a piece of debris floating in the air. These were just some newly condensed fragments, indicating that the strength of the Mad World was gradually growing stronger, and his presence in the black fog was becoming more and more.

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly, watching as the fragments seemed to want to drill into his body, he crushed them casually, and watched as the newly condensed fragments turned into a wisp of black gas and merged into the black fog outside again.

He wanted to follow this aura to see if he could find any clues about the crazy world, but when his perception extended beyond the black fog, he found that the whole world was filled with this aura.

During this period, the black fog enveloped the entire world, and the power of the mad world was constantly recovering and strengthening due to the increase in the number of infected bodies. These fragments were mixed with negative emotions that were so strong that they were substantial. These negative emotions had made Zagros, who was in charge of joy, feel very uncomfortable. It was conceivable how difficult it was for humans in the outside world to live under such a trend.

However, he also discovered that the self-destruction of the Mad World might have represented the death of the Mad World. What appeared now might just be the last remnant of the Mad World. It was like an inner demon had taken over the Mad World, so that it could only rely on various negative emotions to maintain its existence. All the positive emotions in the world had a restraining effect on it.

If this is true, then as the god in charge of joy, he is actually good at resisting negative emotions.

Zagros glanced at the sky in the distance, made up his mind, took a few steps casually and disappeared on the spot. At this moment, the black fog in the whole world was surging violently. The Crazy World was constantly searching for Zagros's location, but if Zagros wanted to hide, the Crazy World would not be able to find him either.

At the same time, on a barren mountain hundreds of kilometers away, in this barren land, a grape vine is quietly growing. It is rooted in a pool of black mud, as if it is the only sign of life on this land, and this pool of black mud is part of the fragment of the crazy world.

In the ruins of doomsday, some animals and plants obtained fragments of the crazy world and began to undergo some alienation phenomena, which was not uncommon.

The vine seemed to be affected by this mysterious power. It did not need sunlight and grew very fast in this world covered by black fog. At first, it was just a small seedling, but as time went by, it continued to branch and climb, gradually covering the entire mountain.

The vines were like giant tentacles, tightly wrapped around the surrounding mountains and rocks, and their lengths continued to extend, seemingly endless. Each vine grew into a strange shape, which was very consistent with the appearance of the alienated plants in this world.

As time went by, the plant had gradually matured, and countless thick leaves had rapidly spread out, covering the entire barren mountain like a giant green umbrella. These leaves did not need sunlight at all for photosynthesis. On the contrary, they began to absorb a large amount of black mist in the air.
