Time rewound to the moment before Dionysus swung down his staff.
"But rest assured," Dionysus continued, "now that there are many drinkers, I still..."
Gu Ran stepped forward two paces, reaching for the staff.
Dionysus subconsciously dodged backward, but not as quickly as Gu Ran, so all he could do was throw a punch towards Gu Ran's face.
Gu Ran threw a punch as well.
The two seemed to fist-bump, their fists colliding, while their other hands, one above and one below, grabbed the staff.
Although it was entirely different from the fusion pose of Sun Wukong and Bei Jita in "Dragon Ball," it gave off a similar vibe.
Two seconds later, Dionysus let go of the staff, clutched his other fist, and his body spasmed into a bow.
"Dionysus!" The beautiful woman hurried forward anxiously to support her son.
Gu Ran caressed the staff, occasionally swinging it down.
"It's no use," Dionysus said, lifting his head and sweating, "Only I can use the power of the grapevine staff."
