"We're now trapped in this area called the station. You can't let us return to the real world and leave you here alone?" one of the gods questioned.
"No." The one who spoke was neither Gaim nor Zhang Heng, but Zeus. In the previous battle, he had been the main force against Cthulhu, and his artifact, Thunder, was destroyed. Therefore, he could be considered the one who understood Cthulhu the best among all the gods.
"The power of this space isn't enough to trap that guy. In fact, if I still had my weapon, I could destroy this area too," Zeus said with a serious expression.
"But if Gaim can't do it, even if we add in the strongest area we can create, we still won't be able to trap him," the God of Light Bader said.
"In theory, yes," Zhang Heng said. "Other than that underwater city called R 'yleh, there's no area in this world that can completely seal his movements."
"Then what's the point of asking for our help?" a goddess wearing a JK shirt said with an unfriendly expression.
"Me and the other guy living in my body. When we use our bodies, the other party is in a state of deep sleep. In other words, we have no perception of the outside world. Gaim and I have also discussed a possibility before," Zhang Heng said unhurriedly.
"What possibility?"
"I want to replicate the outside world in a game dungeon," Zhang Heng said. "I heard from Gaim that to replicate it to the same degree as the previous dungeons, we need all of you to work together."
"Wait, you're not trying to trick that guy into thinking that the dungeon is the real world, are you?" Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, was also surprised. "Even if that guy falls for it, we can't deceive him for too long. When he destroys the world and realizes that his power hasn't changed, he will naturally realize that something is wrong."
"That's right. At that time, we need the existence of a second world." Zhang Heng had obviously done some research on this issue and quickly answered.
"A second world?" Athena was indeed the Goddess of Wisdom. She was only stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted. You want to add another 1: 1 restoration to the real world? "
"Not another. For safety's sake, it's better to create a few more," Zhang Heng said. Zhang Heng said, "It's best to stack them like a thousand-layer cake. But remember to leave a door open for me so that I can come and go when it's my time."
"You only have ten minutes. What's the point?" The God of Amusement Park rolled his eyes.
"As long as I change the flow of time, ten minutes can become very long. Besides, who said I only have ten minutes to use?" Zhang Heng shook the watch in his hand. "It's a pity that with this watch, the time flow in that special quest can only be set to 1: 1. But it's good that he won't get suspicious."
The gods looked at each other. They all realized that this solution might work.
However, after a moment of silence, someone said, "Your plan may be able to fool him a few times, but as time passes, he won't even be sure if he's in the real world anymore. He'll use brute force to break through the dungeon."
"Yes, but that will be at least a year later. If he wants to destroy the first two worlds, it will take him at least a year," Zhang Heng said.
"What about after that?"
"After that, we will have to rely on the players," Zhang Heng said. "This is why we have to restart the game. The new expansion pack will be heavily updated this time, and we will introduce the main quest, Cthulhu's Awakening. The ultimate goal of the game is no longer to PK between players, but to find a way to fight against Cthulhu."
"So many of us gods are helpless. What can mere humans do …" Apollo frowned.
"The point is not that they have a solution, but to make them believe that they have a solution," Zhang Heng emphasized again. "We also need your help. Now that we have the main quest, we still lack the side quests, especially the ones that are related to you. Other than that, we don't have enough players. We need to continue to expand. Only when enough people believe in the final ending, will it happen." "That's right," Zhang Heng emphasized.
"But isn't this a violation of the rules? We gods can't change the fate that is related to us through any means," the God of Tarot Cards questioned.
"We don't. We just gave you a main quest. As for how to choose, we will return the decision to the players."
"Aren't you worried that they will destroy the world in the end? Or they will choose to kill you and Cthulhu together. Didn't they already do it once? "Kronos suddenly said.
"Of course, I'm worried, but a wise man once told me to have faith in humans. She showed me the kindness of the world, so I intend to return this kindness to the world," Zhang Heng said. "I believe that if they are given enough time, they will find a better solution. Besides, neither I nor the guy in my body can be killed so easily. As time goes by, Cthulhu culture and my book will become more and more popular. Of course, if one day we are not so popular, then your troubles will be automatically solved."
"…"
The gods fell silent again when they heard this, and then they began to whisper to each other in twos and threes.
However, Kronos was an exception. Although he was now isolated by the gods because he released Cthulhu, as a veteran god who was good at socializing, Kronos still had some allies and friends. But at this moment, he did not gather in small groups like the others around him.
"Why? Aren't you going to consider my proposals?" Zhang Heng asked.
"There's nothing to consider," Kronos shook his head. "Do we have any other choice but to do what you say?" After that, he sighed. "To be honest, if I could predict what would happen when I brought you out of the city under the ice, maybe I would have killed you at that time."
"You won't," Zhang Heng seemed very calm. "You are such a conceited person. Even if you see the result in advance, you will definitely believe that you have a way to change it. Not to mention, deep down in your heart, you are a gambler."
For the first time, Kronos was not angry when he heard the last sentence. He just took out another bag of soft candies from his pocket and poured it into his mouth. "You win this round. You can say whatever you want, but I will not give up on my ultimate goal."
"I know," Zhang Heng quickly snatched the remaining soft candy from the old man in the Tang suit and threw it into his mouth. "I also look forward to the next fight with you. But if I win again next time, I'm afraid you will pay a greater price."
"Let's wait and see," Kronos snorted coldly.
