Heartfire requires intense emotions to ignite, manifesting as tangible forms composed purely of spiritual power.
Normally, being struck by Boreas's fist would gradually fill one's heart with regret, causing constant distraction and plunging them into endless self-recrimination!
However, Heartfire possesses a certain resistance to emotion-based attacks. Furthermore, Zhang Wei, leveraging this very power, had completed the second refinement of his Heartfire!
"The flames now possess infinite power!"
Orion crashed down, all his traps rendered useless against Zhang Wei! Countless arrows lay scattered on the ground, rendering him incapable of further combat.
Monoceros cried out in shock, "Impossible! You've been hit by my ultimate technique, your Gourmet Cells should be in conflict within you!"
"Could it be..."
"You're a vegetarian to begin with?"
Zhang Wei shook his head, "No, as a chef, I have achieved comprehensiveness. No flavor is rejected by my tongue; that would be a divinely bestowed waste. However... even if they were in conflict, what could mere five-hundred-level individuals like you do?"
Canis Minor was no exception!
With just three punches, his Holy Cloth was shattered! Flesh and bone disintegrated!
Zhang Wei looked at his fist, "Strange, has more power been unlocked? It was quite difficult when I fought Libra."
Monoceros's blood ran cold. He turned to flee, but his steps were faltering, and he collapsed onto the ground.
At the same time, Zhang Wei felt an intensely disorienting sensation, as if he had spun around three hundred times on the spot.
"This... the alcohol... it's like losing control of my body from excessive drinking!"
The numbness in his body was so profound that even his spirit entering the Treasure Vault couldn't resolve it.
Wang Cu!
But before he could retrieve it, Zhang Wei's legs gave out, and he toppled straight to the ground.
It was exertion!
The intense combat had consumed a massive amount of oxygen, causing both sides to inhale excessive amounts of alcohol vapor, unknowingly falling into a deep state of intoxication.
...
When Zhang Wei next regained consciousness, he found himself in a magnificent hall. Everything here was magnified, as if he had entered a land of giants.
And Zhang Wei himself was inside a birdcage atop a desk!
He surveyed his surroundings, unsure how long he had been unconscious. The birdcage was crafted from some unknown metal and appeared incredibly sturdy!
"You're awake!"
A handsome blond man approached from a distance, clad in a loose-fitting coat, a wine glass full of red wine in his hand, his eyes holding a hint of uninhibited freedom.
However, what was most striking was his astonishing physical size; visually estimated at around fifty meters tall, comparable to Ultraman. It seemed this was his home.
"Who are you..."
The blond man smiled, "It's been a while since I've seen such an interesting little fellow. As soon as you arrived on my island, you destroyed large areas of my wine mist, and incidentally, demolished two wineries and four transport pipelines. You truly are a little pest."
"You are the master of this island... which means, you are Dionysus!"
"Correct! But no reward! And shouldn't we discuss compensation for your act of destruction?"
Zhang Wei stared at the bizarrely large figure, his expression unreadable.
It was said that these Olympian gods were extraterrestrial beings, not of the same race as Earthlings. This seemed to be the case.
As for gods...
It was a joke. In a world where anyone could be called a god, what was the harm in bestowing such a title upon oneself.
Moreover, aren't gods simply stronger than humans?
In other words, if you are strong, you are a god!
Zhang Wei asked, "When I was fighting the Saints, was it you who drugged me?"
"Of course. Would I let you continue destroying my factories? I worked hard to build them."
Just as he suspected!
Given his physical condition, even intoxication wouldn't have occurred so suddenly. But if this fellow had intervened, it would be entirely plausible. With the prestige of Olympus, the strength of the Twelve Olympians was something Zhang Wei couldn't even begin to comprehend at this point.
"Little fellow, why have you come to my Wine God Island?"
"To learn winemaking techniques."
Zhang Wei spoke the absolute truth, without any reservation.
"Very good, honest! But not entirely honest. To be precise, you came to steal knowledge, didn't you?"
Dionysus continued, "For outsiders like you, the first place you visit in Olympus is my Wine Riot Island. However, few manage to break in here, and someone who causes such a ruckus is the first."
Zhang Wei said, "I would very much like to offer compensation, but I have nothing that would impress you."
He might.
But Zhang Wei had no intention of revealing it.
It was best not to flaunt one's wealth. Even though the other party was a god, he was also a god with human emotions, and he clearly enjoyed the finer things in life.
"That's true."
"But... I'm still not entirely satisfied with just letting you go."
"You must find some way to compensate me."
Zhang Wei pondered for a long time, "Is there anything you need me to do? Or desire?"
Dionysus mulled over it for a while, "Can you give Athena a big slap?"
Zhang Wei: ...
As expected, a challenging task.
"Mr. Dionysus, could you be a bit more realistic?"
"Cough, cough, cough, it is indeed asking a lot of you. But what can a drunkard like me desire? I just want to drink. However, I achieved freedom from thirst hundreds of years ago and have no more worldly desires!"
Dionysus seemed to have no airs. Zhang Wei tentatively asked, "Speaking of which, what does the world outside of Earth look like? And, do you have a bad relationship with Athena?"
"Oh ho, you even know the word Earth? For a backward civilization like yours, I thought it would take another five hundred years to realize the Earth is round, and that there's a vast universe beyond the sphere."
The era Zhang Wei had transmigrated to was indeed ancient, with a level of technological and natural understanding equivalent to antiquity.
But this planet had seen countless civilizations before, only for them to be destroyed by Nitoku.
Therefore, to construct such a majestic and imposing civilization, they could only be alien beings, and their strength must not have surpassed Blue Nitoku, otherwise, the original boss would have been them.
This meant their upper limit was capped, and Zhang Wei surmised that their peak potential wouldn't exceed 3500.
Of course, that was the absolute limit.
Their actual levels might not even reach 1500.
However, with his current strength, Zhang Wei couldn't formulate a concrete plan.
Dionysus said wistfully, "When I first came to Earth, I was still a child, following my kin on a journey to find delicious food. Our spaceship crashed on the west side of Mount Olympus in Sunset Canyon. I vaguely recall that primitive tribes resided there."
Just as he suspected, a crashed alien race, and their average strength seemed to be quite high.
Could ordinary people possess such abilities and lifespans...
"Later, we intermarried with the primitive tribes there and engaged in wars. In short, we survived and established this divine realm."
"Speaking of which, the produce of this planet is truly abundant, much better than my homeland."
Zhang Wei was silent.
This fellow truly said whatever came to mind, with no reservations.
"Did you not attempt to repair the spaceship?"
Dionysus shook his head, "I was against repairing the spaceship. While there is much delicious food in the universe, there are also many ferocious beasts. When traveling through space, I worried every day about being eaten along with the ship by a beast that suddenly appeared."
"The food is plentiful here, so why venture into the dangerous universe?"
"It's a shame not everyone thinks this way. For instance, that old hag Athena, who constantly claims wisdom and warfare, creating numerous primitive armies and playing house. It's so boring."
It seemed.
Athena advocated for repairing the spaceship.
Zhang Wei also stated directly, "I still suggest you repair the spaceship. If there are beings on this planet you cannot handle, you can leave promptly."
Let alone Acacia, you wouldn't even be a match for Blue Nitoku.
But Dionysus roared with laughter, "Cannot handle? Besides those eight beast kings who are excessively strong, what other power on this planet can surpass us? We intend to live on this planet for a long, long time, hahahaha..."
