Chapter 1295: The Situation

Zhang Heng stayed at his parents’new house for about half a month, but he rejected his father’s proposal to travel around Ireland. When his grandfather’s plane arrived safely, he booked a flight back home the next day.

“Leaving so soon?”Mother Zhang was confused. “The summer vacation should only be half over.”

“Yes, but there are still some things to resolve in China,”Zhang Heng said.

“Eh… Mysterious, is it related to relationships? Do you have a girlfriend? Ask her to come to Ireland to play.”

“Maybe next time.”Zhang Heng carried his laptop up to the second floor. He locked his room door and plugged in the untraceable USB drive. Only then did he log on to the Players’forum.

These two weeks, Zhang Heng had been relatively relaxed abroad. Other than lecturing a group of racist youths outside the supermarket in the middle, he had not done anything else. However, things had not been peaceful in China during this period of time.

The players were doing fine. Although there had been some vicious incidents and the forums had started to panic, the scale was not too big. The three major guilds were still trying to maintain the situation, on the other hand, the organizing committee seemed to be experiencing some problems.

Recently, the frequency of supernatural occurrences had started to increase. The organizing committee was also working at full capacity to cover up the incident to avoid attracting the attention of ordinary people. However, as time passed.., the situation did not improve. Instead, it seemed to be worsening.

At first, there were still some vague rumors, but as a part of the agents were involved, the players realized that the relationship between the new God and the old god was becoming more tense than ever.

In the chat room, an ID named “Don’t want to practice the piano”was introducing the current situation to Zhang Heng.

The person who leaked the identity of the player had been found. It was one of the Egyptian pillar gods, Seth. He was also the mastermind who had scammed [ death dream ] from the three major guilds. He had also kidnapped the phone God.

The God of Chaos?

That’s right. The organizing committee had sent Thor, the most powerful god in Nordic mythology, to deal with him, but for some reason, Thor had managed to escape in the end, furthermore, a new god that had accompanied Thor had died there.

Seth had killed him?

Zhang Heng typed.

No, if he had really died at Seth’s hands, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble. The person who had killed him was Thor. Although Thor had claimed that this was a trap set by Seth, from the looks of the fight at the scene.., thor… had actually already controlled the situation, but for some reason, he had shown mercy to Seth again.

— with Thor’s personality, he should be easily provoked.

— yes, most people thought so too. But the problem was that when the organizing committee was still investigating this matter, Thor, in addition to making a mistake, had once again lost his temper, he escaped from the room where he was temporarily imprisoned, and he even injured the guard, who was also a new God. This action also completely intensified the situation. The New Gods were almost furious, and they found Odin, they wanted Odin to hand over Thor.

They didn’t want to practice the piano.

— and then?

— although the Nordic Gods admitted Thor was in the wrong, they refused to make any promises. This action further aroused the protests of the New Gods, and caused the Nordic gods to shut down the internet for the next ten days, they had the people from the telecommunications company check it several times, but they were helpless.

— well, this is what I didn’t expect.

— and then someone killed Odin’s mount. — Sleipnir came to take revenge on the Norse gods, which made Odin furious.

— it sounds like someone is trying to drive a wedge between the new gods and the Old Gods. Is It Seth?

Logically speaking, Seth should be the biggest suspect. However, after Thor went missing, Seth came alone to the organizing committee and announced his surrender. He was very cooperative throughout the whole process. In addition, I’m not sure if you’ve heard about what happened at Copenhagen International Airport.

What happened?

Zhang Heng’s expression changed.

A battle took place there three weeks ago. Two Valkyries died while the organizing committee was carrying out a secret mission there. Another Valkyrie went missing, it was said that the suspect was the mechanical god of the new God, and a large-caliber weapon made by the mechanical God had also been found at the scene.

The Mechanical God?

Zhang Heng’s fingers stopped on the keyboard. He was keenly aware of something. The battle should have happened on the same day that the assault 8-300 that he was riding on had crashed. Considering the mysterious malfunction that the plane had encountered at that time.., all the mechanical parts had stopped working.

And the so-called god of machinery had appeared at the end of his journey, Denmark’s Copenhagen International Airport. If this was a coincidence, then it would be too much of a coincidence if there was no connection between the two.

Zhang Heng had been wondering for the past few days whether his identity had been completely exposed and made known to all the gods, making him the number one target of the gods, however, from the looks of it, the situation wasn’t as bad as Nara Totipp had said, without a doubt, this mechanical god was probably another god who knew his identity besides Kronos, the bartender, and Nara Totipp.

If possible, Zhang Heng wanted to find the mechanical god. From the Mechanical God’s mouth, he wanted to know how many other people knew his identity and how the other party had located him. However, two Valkyries had died, another Valkyrie had gone missing. The organizing committee must have sent a large team to search for the mechanical god.

Three weeks had passed, but the organizing committee still had no results. In order to not attract the attention of ordinary people, the traces of the previous battle had probably been erased. It would not be easy for him to find the mechanical god, therefore, Zhang Heng only had a thought before giving up.

— you’re currently abroad, right? Then I suggest you continue to stay abroad. After all, there’s still some time before school starts.

I don’t want to practice my piano and continue typing.

— even though Seth had already surrendered, the conflict between the new God and the old God was showing signs of becoming more and more intense. The tension between the two sides was not formed overnight. After all, there were only so many believers, a little more would mean less faith for the others. It was almost irreconcilable. The two events were more like a fuse, igniting the long-suppressed conflict between the old and New Gods, i heard that some of the agents had been forced to take sides and participate in some covert confrontations. These private actions would sooner or later turn into surface confrontations. I don’t think we can remain on our own, after so many rounds of the game, the players who survived have become a force to be reckoned with. I don’t think either the new God or the old God will ignore us.
