The gods in the station were once again in a commotion. At the same time, the crowd in a certain place quickly dispersed, revealing an open space and Zhang Heng standing in that open space.
Previously, almost all their attention was attracted by Gaim on the TV, so no one noticed when Zhang Heng appeared.
But after discovering that Zhang Heng had also entered the station, many people could not help but show despair on their faces.
A moment ago, they were still dissatisfied with Gaim for hiding the existence of the station in order to keep them in the game world. But in the blink of an eye, they found that even this result had become an extravagant hope.
They did not know if something went wrong with Gaim's arrangement, or if the gods of time were too useless to carry out his plan, causing the monster named Cthulhu to chase them all the way into the game world.
And what frightened the gods even more was that they found that they had no way to escape.
Before this, when the real world outside was about to be destroyed, they could still escape into the new world. But once the new world fell, they did not know where else they could escape to.
However, after realizing this, different gods reacted differently. Some of them wanted to fight Zhang Heng to the death. Although they knew that they were no match for Zhang Heng, dying in battle was better than surrendering and being killed. Some of them placed their last hope on Gaim. Some even knelt on the ground and begged Gaim to help them.
But other than that, there was a small group of people who reacted differently from the previous two groups. For example, the god of war Ares. As a relatively strong god, he had been active in the frontline of battle and had fought Cthulhu several times. During these battles, Cthulhu did not speak even once.
In the original setting, this monster was an existence that could not be communicated with. At most, it could only transmit some messy things through dreams and illusions. But just now, they clearly heard Zhang Heng speak, and although his words sounded a little incomprehensible, this incomprehensibility was not in the literal sense. In fact, Zhang Heng's words were very clear.
In particular, Kronos was different from the other gods. He was the most familiar with Zhang Heng, and the young man standing in front of him now clearly gave him a strong sense of familiarity. So the god of time, who had decided not to speak anymore, blurted out, "It's you?!"
"It's me," Zhang Heng said. "Long time no see, Kronos."
After he said that, the crowd that was about to lose control finally calmed down. The gods' gazes were once again focused on the figure that they didn't dare to look at.
"How is that possible? Your soul should have been completely crushed the moment that fellow descended!" Chronos exclaimed.
This time, even the slowest person realized that the Zhang Heng in front of them did not seem to be the same Zhang Heng who chased them outside Pluto's mansion. Although the two looked exactly the same, and Zhang Heng's body was stained with blood, it was clear that he was the one who led the massacre party.
"I did die once," Zhang Heng said. He glanced at the gods present, paused, and then continued, "But now, I'm back."
"How did you do it?" Chronos was puzzled, and he also asked the question in the minds of all the gods present.
After my death, one of my friends uploaded it to the Internet. It's about all my experiences. So far, more than nine million people have read that book. You should understand what that means. My return is the ending of that book. "Zhang Heng didn't try to hide anything." I wrote a book, and it's very popular. After my death, a friend of mine uploaded it to the Internet.
"You gave yourself an ending to come back from the dead in the novel to affect reality?" Chronos was shocked. "Wait, but gods can't interfere with their own fate, even if it's through indirect means like movies."
"I'm not a god."
"But humans can't change their fate by relying on it. Otherwise, all of us can live forever." The god of code adjusted his glasses.
"I'm not human either," Zhang Heng said calmly. "The blood of Cthulhu flows in my body."
"…"
"You can do that?!" Osiris, the King of the Underworld in Egyptian mythology, was also shocked, but he had to admit that Zhang Heng's situation might be the most special in the world. He was originally the vessel chosen by Cthulhu, and he had completed the blood exchange long ago. To be honest, he was probably an ordinary person with the blood of Cthulhu flowing in his body.
"So, that monster was killed by you just like that?" The words of the Night Goddess Nyx also made the eyes of the surrounding gods light up, but soon she said, "No, Cthulhu can't be destroyed in the original setting, and his story has been popular for decades. It has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it's not so easy to change. No matter how good your story is, it has only been released a few months ago. If you dare to challenge the rules that have been deeply rooted in your body and mind, the only outcome is that you will lose your reality, and you will also lose your only chance to be resurrected."
"You're right," Zhang Heng nodded. "I didn't kill him. He's still in my body. In fact, now we have a temporary truce, and we share this body. To be exact, he uses 23 hours and 50 minutes, and I use 10 minutes. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the gods, who were a little relieved, suddenly felt their hearts in their throats again. A god who stood closer to Zhang Heng immediately distanced himself from him, and the gods looked at him as if they were looking at a ticking time bomb.
"Don't worry, the flow of time in the station is different from the real world," Geim, who was on the TV, said at this time, calming the tense atmosphere in time.
However, many gods were still clamoring to leave, expressing that they did not want to stay in the same place with Zhang Heng for a second longer.
However, before Geim could speak, Zhang Heng continued, "It's meaningless to leave now. Once I, uh … the other guy in my body returns to the outside world, don't expect me to block him with my measly ten minutes. When that happens, everyone will die together."
"What exactly do you want us to do? Just tell us," the god of amusement park said.
"Build a special dungeon for me, and help me lock up the guy in my body." Zhang Heng did not beat around the bush anymore.
