Chapter 170: Burning Dionysus

In mythology, the story of Theseus is like a replica of the story of Inason.

In the story of Inason, the goddesses of the sun god family, Chalciope and Medea, married Phrixus and Inason, royal families of Thessaly respectively.

In the story of Theseus, Chalciope and Medea both married Theseus' father, King Aegeus of Athens.

Inason was able to seize the Golden Fleece because Medea used her magic potion and magic to help Inason complete the test.

Theseus was able to kill the Minotaur because Ariadne, the daughter of Pasiphae, the goddess of the sun god family, and Medea's cousin, gave Theseus the sword and the ball of thread, which helped Theseus kill the Minotaur and escape from the labyrinth.

After Inason seized the Golden Fleece, he left the Colchis region with Medea.

After Theseus killed the Minotaur, he also left Crete with Ariadne.

Yin Asong finally betrayed Medea who had given everything for him.

Theseus had not brought Ariadne back to Athens, but because of the warning of the gods, he left Ariadne alone on the deserted beach of Naxos.

Looking at Ariadne who was fought over by Dionysus, the god of wine, and Glaucus, the god of the sea, Luo Yin was full of doubts.

Because Minos, the king of Crete, only became a god after his death, Ariadne, as the daughter of Pasiphae, was at most a demigod.

Normally, Dionysus, the god of wine, and Glaucus, the god of the sea, could not fight for a demigod girl.

Unless the demigod girl was just Ariadne's superficial identity.

"Who are you?"

Looking at Luo Yin who said he wanted to fight for Ariadne, Glaucus, the god of the sea, said with a serious face.

"You don't look like an ordinary human, but you don't look like a god either. Even if you are a demigod close to a god, you are not qualified to compete with us for Ariadne, because a mere demigod is not worthy of her."

Luo Yin did not respond to Glaucous, and said to Ariadne who was still crying.

"Princess Ariadne! Neither Glaucous nor Dionysus can force you to marry someone you don't love, so don't cry anymore."

Ariadne looked up at Luo Yin with her beautiful golden eyes, and her body stopped crying.

Luo Yin showed Ariadne a sunny smile, then turned to look at Dionysus and said.

"Dionysus! Why do you, a god worshipped by the Thracians, want to pursue Ariadne? Is it because Ariadne has the eye child of the sun god family, and you want to use her to become the son-in-law of the sun god family?"

Dionysus said expressionlessly.

"I want to pursue the beautiful and lovely Ariadne, of course, because I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. If you really want to compete with me for Ariadne, tell me your identity!"

"I am Haemon - Haemon of Thebes!"

"You are Haemon, the prince of Thebes -"

Seeing Dionysus's complicated expression, Luo Yin sneered.

"Dionysus! During the reign of King Pentheus of Thebes, you wanted to become the patron saint of the Thebes region, but King Pentheus of Thebes resolutely expelled you. I am from the Thebes region that expelled you, and I will become the next King of Thebes."

"The next King of Thebes arranged by the goddess of fate is not Haemon!"

Dionysus looked at Luo Yin with a cautious look and said.

"Although you are not favored by the goddess of fate, you are indeed qualified to become the next king of Thebes. If you are willing to accept me and let me become the patron saint of the Thebes region, I can not only give you Ariadne, but also help you live to become the next king of Thebes."

"You just said that you fell in love with Ariadne at first sight, and now you say you can give Ariadne to me?"

After teasing Dionysus, Luo Yin continued to ask.

"Dionysus, you asked me to help you become the patron saint of the Thebes region, so do you want to be the husband of Themis or the husband of Mnemosyne? Or, do you want to be the son of Themis or the son of Mnemosyne? Unfortunately, I will not let you become my rival in love, let alone my cheap son. In the real history hundreds of years later, when you claimed to be the son of Zeus, the fallen Zeus could not refuse your initiative to recognize your father. I am different from the fallen Zeus."

"Are you stupid enough to refuse me?"

Dionysus said with an angry expression.

"I am a god who brings intoxication and carnival! As long as your city-state accepts me, I can make your city-state corrupt and lose its martial spirit, and become a slave ruled by foreigners. Why don't you accept me?"

"Because I don't like being ruled by others as a slave!"

Luo Yin said with a smile.

"Dionysus! Because of your godly attributes, you are a low-ranking god even in the Thracian region where you were born. In the real history hundreds of years later, you became a Pan-Greek upper god because you entered the Delphi Temple with the force of your believers like Apollo, and were blessed by the Pan-Greek holy Delphi Temple. But in the mythological era, as a tribal god in the Thracian region, you were just a weak middle-level god. After all, in the mythological era, because of the high cost and scarcity of grain, the Greeks brewed wine not for their own drinking, but to exchange grain with other regions. In the real history hundreds of years later, because the nomadic tribes along the Black Sea coast turned into farming tribes, grain was no longer expensive and the drinking culture rose, which gave you the opportunity to enter the Delphi Temple."

"Hu——"

After listening to Luo Yin's humiliation, Dionysus exhaled a strong breath of wine, and then waved his wine staff like a drunkard.

"Since you foolishly regard me as a weak middle-level god, I will let you see how brave the crazy god of wine is--"

Without waiting for Dionysus to finish his words, Luo Yin raised his right hand and aimed at Dionysus, and a white-gold flame spurted out from his palm.

Bang!

The raging and burning sun fire instantly ignited Dionysus' body.

Because wine contains alcohol that can be ignited, Dionysus, as the god of wine, can also ignite his body.

"Ahhhhh--"

Dionysus screamed and fled from Luo Yin. After extinguishing the sun fire with his own divine power, he looked at Luo Yin with a trembling voice of fear.

"Is this the sun fire?"

"That's right! This is the sun god's flame that stepped on you like a dog in the Thracian region!

Luo Yin made a ball of white-gold flame appear in the palm of his right hand, and then played with the sun fire and said.

"Dionysus! Because the alcohol content of wine is not high, ordinary flames cannot burn your body, but the flame of the sun god is an exception. My flame is your biggest nemesis. Wine and vines - these two things that symbolize your body can be burned by my flame. If you don't want to be burned to ashes by me, disappear from my sight immediately. "
