"You can go in now and give her a full body checkup to see if all the indicators have returned to normal. I've also cured her rhinitis since she was a child. Just treat it as a complimentary service," Iciz said as she threw the heart used for the ritual in her hand into the trash can next to her. As Iciz spoke, she threw the heart that was used for the ritual into the trash can. The heart had turned from full to shriveled and rotten, as if it had lost all its vitality.
Zhang Heng thanked her and entered the ward. He came to Meinan's bedside. The latter was still asleep, but her breathing had become much steadier. Compared to before, her pale face had regained some color. Some sparse hair fell diagonally from her forehead and stuck to the bridge of her nose, moving up and down with every breath she took.
Zhang Heng took a pair of stethoscopes, listened to her heartbeat, and measured her blood pressure. Finally, he took a small tube of blood from Meinan's arm with a needle he took from the nurse's station. He planned to find a professional institution to do the test after he separated from Iciz.
After doing all this, he stood up from the bed, hesitated, and reached out to help Meinan tidy up the fine hair on her forehead. In the end, he retracted his hand.
The next moment, a voice came from behind him.
"Some people say that you have lost all your emotions," the goddess of life and magic said leisurely as she leaned against the door.
"This is a good thing for you. My chances of killing Seth have increased."
"But I don't think so," Iciz pointed at Meinan on the bed. "You keep saying that she is just an ordinary friend of yours, and it's rare for you to meet her. Yet, you don't even want to touch her. Anyone would think that you are too cold, but …"
Iciz paused. "I know you are so cold because you don't want to involve her. You know what is waiting for you in the future."
"You think too much." Zhang Heng was unmoved. He then changed the topic. "You have fulfilled your part of the oath. Now, it's time for me to fulfill my part. The sooner Seth dies, the sooner you can be at ease."
"Yes, especially considering that I have just consumed so much divine power." When it came to business, Iciz's expression became serious again. She took out a compass from her suitcase and handed it to Zhang Heng.
"This is a magic compass I made. The core is the magic array at the bottom, and there is a drop of my brother's blood in the sapphire at the center. After activating the magic array, this drop of blood will lead you to him. The direction that the needle is pointing at is where he is hiding. When the needle trembles violently, you have to be extra careful, because it means that you are within a kilometer of him."
"By turning the bottom of the compass, the magic circle can be activated or deactivated. Each activation lasts for an hour. You can activate the magic circle a total of seven times. Also, you must remember that when you are within a kilometer of Seth, activate the magic circle, and Seth will sense your presence."
"What do you mean?" Heng frowned.
"After all, this is his blood. I can't completely block the connection between it and Seth, and it's because of this connection that this compass works."
"So when I find Seth, he will also find me?"
"That's right."
"And Thor will know that I am nearby?"
"We can't rule out this possibility." Iciz blinked. "We still don't know what the relationship between Thor and Seth is, but according to the surveillance video, even if they hooked up now, they would not suddenly become close friends. Thor looks more like he is using Seth to do something for him. Unfortunately, a poisonous snake will always be a poisonous snake. You should never expect it to help you."
Zhang Heng took the compass. "What else do you know that I don't know? Tell me everything."
"The New and Old Gods are now looking for the whereabouts of Thor and Seth. Among them, the leader of the New Gods is Sines, the God of Science. His position in the New Gods' camp is like Odin in Norse mythology or Ra in Egyptian mythology. Strictly speaking, whether it is the God of the Internet, the God of Machinery, the God of Mobile Phones, or even the God of Games, they are just Sines' children. He is also the oldest existence among the New Gods. My advice to you is to avoid him as much as possible. I know you killed White Knight, but if you face Sines, you have no chance of winning.
"As for the Old Gods, Odin is the leader for the time being, but whether it is in the past or now, his power is no match for Thor. So, he asked Zeus, the King of the Gods, for help. But you don't have to worry too much. Whether it is Sines, Odin, or Zeus, they will not participate in the preliminary search work. Only after confirming the whereabouts of Seth and Thor will the New and Old Gods' camp contact them. As long as you move fast enough, you will not meet them. And the magic compass I gave you is where your advantage lies."
Zhang Heng asked again, "What about the committee?"
"The committee is controlled by Gaim, the God of Games. He is also the most powerful deity now. Although Sines, the God of Science, is more powerful, there is a natural conflict between science and worship. He cannot compare to the God of Games in terms of absorbing and converting faith. After all, there are far more people in this world who are addicted to science than to games. The committee is a very special organization. The New and Old Gods are in it, and it operates according to the rules set by Gaim and everyone else. It is the foundation of order in the Divine Realm. If Gaim speaks, both the New and Old Gods will have to give him face.
"But the strange thing is, although the committee has been working hard to solve the problem according to the rules, Gaim has remained silent. He has not said anything, nor has he come forward to mediate the conflict between the New and Old Gods. This is also a very important reason why things have developed to this stage. I don't know if the committee will send someone or who they will send." Isis spread her hands.
"In fact, a considerable number of the New and Old Gods are hoping that Gaim will come forward to mediate. After all, not everyone likes war. But if war really breaks out, I'm afraid that no one will be able to stay out of it. After all, other than a madman like Seth, almost everyone has friends and family. Hatred will only grow deeper and deeper."
Isis sighed. "That is all I know. If there is any new news, I will tell you in time. By the way, are you really not going to say goodbye to this ordinary friend of yours?"
"There's no need for that. I'll help you kill Seth now." Zhang Heng walked out of the ward without looking at Mei Nan again.
