The Greece Antagonist

Chapter 182 Energetically Filling Pits and Frantically Digging Soil (5.1k)

Atop the grand hall of the royal palace, King Pentheus looked down condescendingly at the young heretic who'd been arrested before him and snorted in disdain.

"Apostle of Bacchus?"

In the "Sacred Words" and the "Divine Chronicle", Dionysus, Bacchus, Phanes... these were all incarnations and aliases of the God of Wine.

"We meet again, Your Majesty."

Luo En smiled and nodded, warmly initiating conversation.

"I've come at your invitation. So, how do you plan to deal with me?"

"Want to know?"

Staring at the fearless youth before him, Pentheus raised his eyebrow, revealing a hint of sinister intent in his gaze.

"Guards, put heavy shackles on him and lock him in the cave near the stables, then seal off the entrance!"

Upon hearing the King's command, the Divine Blood Guard showed troubled expressions, hesitating to move forward.

They had witnessed that miracle and unavoidably felt some reverence for that deity in their hearts.

Moreover, the Apostle's act of stepping forward willingly to prevent the suffering of his believers had also earned their admiration.

"Are you deaf? Seize this audacious heretic!"

Under the irate scolding of Pentheus, the Divine Blood Guard reluctantly picked up the shackles and approached hesitantly.

"It's okay..."

Upon hearing this, the Divine Blood Guard, outwardly stoic, nodded in agreement within.

Indeed! They had been willing to follow the old king Cadmus because of his bravery and achievements.

If not for the legacy of their ancestors and the lack of a suitable successor in Thebes, how could this rash and arrogant scion be worthy of ascending to the throne and giving orders to them?

As Pentheus noticed the change in the gazes upon him, his face turned crimson with uncontainable fury.

"Shut your mouth! You and your god are nothing but deceivers, only capable of beguiling the masses! I will see you both eradicated from the land of Thebes!"

However, in the face of this menacing threat, Luo En laughed and shook his head.

"Wishing to be worshipped by the people, yet not striving to achieve great deeds or govern the nation, instead blaming the deities for stealing your glory, isn't that quite upside down, Your Majesty?"

After all, just a spoiled child throwing a tantrum because he failed to get love and praise.

With that character, it's no wonder neither your grandfather Cadmus nor your mother wanted to stand by your side.

How pathetic...

Luo En looked up at his cousin with a hint of mocking pity in his eyes.

Instantly, Pentheus was deeply stung by that look, raging furiously.

"Guards! Throw this charlatan into the cave, now! Immediately!"

In the face of the King's stern order, the Divine Blood Guard acted as if they hadn't heard, each averting their gaze.

Seeing that none of his subordinates were willing to move, the captain of the guard, confronted with Pentheus's escalating reprimands, reluctantly stepped forward and picked up the chains bound to Luo En, forcing a smile uglier than a cry.

"My apologies..."

Luo En smiled and nodded, offering no resistance to the captain, and compliantly followed along.
