A powerful and terrifying aura rose into the sky, and even the surrounding space began to distort!
This was the terrifying power that belonged to Cthulhu. At the same time, this power also originated from the fear of all humans towards the unknown!
It looked so unstoppable, as if it was despair itself!
The gods outside the villa had already proven that even if they joined forces, they were no match for this power. With the help of this power, 'Heng' had now regained control of his body. But at the next moment, a string of fishbone bracelets hanging behind the door suddenly trembled.
Then, a whale's cry came from a distant place!
The whale's cry was drowned in the indescribable and terrifying aura. It seemed incomparably small, but it never disappeared, just like hope itself.
'Heng's' body was once again nailed to the ground. But this wasn't what really puzzled him. What really puzzled him was that he realized that a part of the power in his body was actually flowing to an unknown place.
He could clearly feel that in that place, a brand new but familiar soul was being born!
But how was this possible?!
The human soul that appeared in this world due to an accident had been completely destroyed by him when he descended into this body. It was like a glass that had been reduced to its molecular state. Logically speaking, it should not have been able to be restored.
But now, this incredible thing had indeed happened to him.
Although he had only taken over for a few months, 'Heng' felt that he was already familiar with this new body. But at this moment, he realized that he had no idea where the new soul was at.
It was to the point where he couldn't find a way to do it even if he wanted to. So, he could only continue to release that unparalleled power in an attempt to directly destroy this newborn soul. However, as he continued to increase his power, 'Heng' was surprised to find that the power he lost was also increasing.
In fact, the power he released was like nourishment, continuously supplying to the newborn soul, helping the latter speed up the entire process of the shell breaking.
…
After experiencing 132 days of destruction and darkness, Heng opened his eyes again.
But before him, it wasn't the world he was familiar with.
He found himself standing on a burning street, just like in the previous dream. Everything he saw was burning wildly, and the remaining humans had crazy smiles on their faces as they killed each other for fun. It was as if they were in heaven instead of hell.
On top of a small mountain of corpses sat another him, like a king who ruled over the world, looking down at him from above. There was a rare hint of mockery in his eyes, as if he was saying that it was all too late.
Am I too late?
Zhang Heng frowned. Did something go wrong with his previous plan? Did the little girl who was responsible for sending the USB flash drive to Han Lu for publication fail to complete the task? Or did the God of Creation fail to place the key items that trigger his rebirth in place? Or did his book not become as popular as expected? Or was there something else that he hadn't thought of?
Zhang Heng didn't have time to think too much because he saw the remaining survivors, the half-human, half-frogfish Deep Ones, and the smaller version of Cthulhu's Star Kin all rushing towards him. Just when Zhang Heng wanted to turn around to face the enemy, he found that his body was frozen in place as if he was in a dream again.
Zhang Heng closed his eyes when he saw this as if he had accepted his fate and the fate of the world.
But then he suddenly said, "It seems that you really can't do anything to me. If this is all you can do, you might as well just admit defeat."
As soon as he said this, the sea of corpses and monsters around him had disappeared along with the raging flames.
When Zhang Heng opened his eyes for the second time, he found himself in the underwater palace again, facing the mountain-like shadow there, facing the terrifying aura that made him tremble.
At this moment, the world became extremely quiet as if only one person and one monster were left in the world.
"I used to think that you grew stronger by devouring the fear of humans. It wasn't until I met you, no, our creator, that I knew what really made you." Zhang Heng stared straight at the monster in front of him.
The monster in front of him didn't seem to hear his words. It dragged its huge body and walked towards him step by step. Its thick tentacles dragged on the ground, making a terrifying sound that reverberated above the palace.
However, Zhang Heng did not run away nor did he prepare to fight.
"A life of despair and loneliness is the scariest thing in this world. But don't worry, unlike other people in this world who can't understand you and only want to destroy you, I don't plan to kill you. Besides, despair and loneliness can't be killed, just like how you can never kill me because there is always hope. So … "
Zhang Heng paused and continued, "Next, I'm afraid we will have to share this body for quite some time. According to the current situation, you can use about 23 hours and 50 minutes in 24 hours, and I can use the remaining 10 minutes. Don't look sad. Think on the bright side. At least, you won't be as lonely as before."
When the monster heard this, it finally stopped in its tracks.
Although it still did not speak, Zhang Heng seemed to know what it wanted to say. "Are you trying to say that 10 minutes won't help at all? You will take advantage of the time when I can't control my body to completely destroy the world? Unfortunately, since you have my 10 minutes, your original plan can no longer be carried out.
"Next, in my 10 minutes, I will take you into a new world. All the characters there are already in place, except for the final boss position. That's because they can't find a strong enough character. And this last position is simply tailor-made for us."
Zhang Heng seemed to have thought of something when he said that. He patted his head and added, "Oh, right, I almost forgot to mention that although our time allocation is 23 hours and 50 minutes versus 10 minutes, I actually have 48 hours a day. So, strictly speaking, our time ratio is 23 hours and 50 minutes versus 24 hours and 10 minutes.
"This is much fairer, and I have 10 minutes more than the average person in a day. I have no problem with that. Besides, the flow of time in that world will be different from the real world. I hope you won't be too surprised when you enter it later."
"Well, that's all I want to say. There are still a lot of things to do next. I have to make sure that you can't escape from that world. I have to help the other guy appease the new and old gods who were tricked into that world. After that, I have to prepare for the game world to open again to welcome players. After all this is done, if there is still time, I want to use the remaining time to meet some old friends."
Zhang Heng closed his eyes again after he finished speaking. "Next, let's write a new legend together."
In order to thank everyone for their subscriptions and gifts, there will be some more extras to make up for the things that I haven't mentioned before and the follow-up story. Hah ~ I'll start updating tomorrow. As for the ending speech and my plans for the next step, I'll tell you after I finish writing the extras. Love you guys ~
