Chapter 1200: Good News

“Have you noticed the problem?” Loki asked. “Let’s summarize all we know so far. The old gods were competitive and brave, and their combat techniques were outstanding, but they were too old. Even the god of time himself could not resist the erosion of time. The new gods were very powerful, and their methods of gaining faith were flexible and varied. But deep down, they were like a group of hippies from the new era. Don’t expect them to go to the battlefield.

“Then, with a pat on the head, the humans created another guy, giving him something that other new gods didn’t have. Not only did he have the genes to kill, but also the seeds to destroy. Imagine this new guy feeding on fear, spreading crazily through the new media and the Internet, like a virus replicating itself. His way of collecting beliefs was as flexible as a new god. He didn’t even need to show up, and you didn’t even need to know his name. He was just lurking in the movies and novels you saw, playing games. When you felt fear, Congratulations, you had become his follower, providing him with endless nourishment.

“His original creator even considered that as time passed, his creation might return to the old ways of the old gods and fall behind the times, so he used a lot of white space in his depiction. Such things are like creating an engine, but you didn’t set a speed limit, so what you need to do next is to step on the accelerator hard and let the speed continue to increase. Soon you will experience the feeling of being as fast as lightning.

“If someone was willing to step on the brakes at this time, they might be able to avoid the tragedy of the car being destroyed. Unfortunately, after a period of time, when people noticed the excellent performance of the car, no one wanted it to stop. Instead, everyone wanted to sit on it and step on the accelerator.

“This is the tragedy of the internet era. When a hot topic appears, people will spontaneously chase after it and hype it up. However, these people do not actually know the consequences of their actions. The thing they worship and feed is an unprecedented monster. This is different from the ancient gods and the new gods. Moreover, the most terrible thing is that its original creator gave it the attribute of destruction.

“Of course, in most people’s minds, they were just having fun with this. It’s like an unconscious collective carnival, but unfortunately, the guy at the center of the carnival doesn’t think so. He’s still faithfully fulfilling his mission—to bring an unprecedented apocalypse to this world that many have been looking forward to.

“With every increase in its power, we will be one step closer to this predetermined ending.” After saying that, Loki took another sip of champagne, a hint of tipsiness materializing on his face.

Unfortunately, Zhang Heng, who sat across him, did not react much after hearing that. He only said lightly, “Good story. If you don’t go to Qidian to start serialization, it will be the loss to all the readers.”

“You think I’m lying to you?”

“I don’t know, and I don’t care. At this stage, my mission is to kill you and complete the main mission of this dungeon. We’ll talk about the rest later,” Zhang Heng said as he pulled out [Paris’ Arrow] from the quiver behind him and nocked it on the bowstring. At least on the surface, rocky could not tell that Zhang Heng’s emotions had changed because of what he had just said.

“Tsk, tsk. I almost forgot. You don’t have much feeling left, do you?” Loki did not panic when Zhang Heng pointed his bow at him. Instead, he rubbed his chin with interest. “Don’t you want to know what will happen when you lose all your feelings?”

“I actually have some good news for you.” Zhang Heng did not answer Loki’s question. Instead, he said, “Even if there is a new apocalypse, you don’t have to worry because you won’t be around then.”

“I’m glad that your sense of humor is still intact.” Loki’s eyes flashed. “Otherwise, I might not like you as much as I do…”

Before he could finish, Zhang Heng released the bowstring, and [Parris’ Arrow] shot toward Loki. Zhang Heng aimed at Rocky’s heart, but the arrow drew an arc halfway through, turning toward Loki’s neck.

In the end, the god of lies and pranks just stood there calmly, not moving at all. It wasn’t until [Parris’ Arrow] flew in front of him and was about to pierce his neck that he smiled and suddenly stretched out his hand, catching the flying arrow aiming at him.

“Paris Arrow, grade D. It’s used to hit the target’s weakness after leaving the bowstring. It’s a very useful small item. Many people are confused by its grade, but if used well, it’s not inferior to a top-tier C-grade item. However, it also has a weakness. Although it has its own weakness to aim at, its lethality is no different from an ordinary arrow,” Loki said unhurriedly. “Also, do you like what I just did? This is something I learned from “The Avengers.”

Zhang Heng didn’t answer because he had already taken out a new arrow from his quiver. This time, he shot out four arrows in one shot, each one with an interval so short it was as if they were connected. At the same time, there was a slight change in the angle, it enveloped Loki’s body, giving him no room to escape.

“Good archery,” Loki praised. This time, he didn’t dare to use his hands to receive it. He snapped his fingers and disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already standing behind Zhang Heng. However, before he could say a few more dirty words, his expression suddenly changed. It was because Zhang Heng had already turned around, as though he had been waiting there in advance, pointing his bow and arrow at him.

Then, arrows rained down.

Did he predict the direction of his teleportation? Loki was also amazed by Zhang Heng’s sense of smell on the battlefield. This time, he was almost hit by the arrow before he could snap his fingers. Fortunately, at the last moment, he snapped his fingers and moved his body to dodge the arrow. However, the embarrassing scene reminded him of some bad memories.

Previously at the Pripyat Hotel, he was forced to roll around like a marble after Zhang Heng exposed his identity. This time, he finally gained some face. However, even if he grabbed [Parris’ Arrow] with one hand, he still did not dare to be careless, even if Zhang Heng only shot him with the ordinary arrows he got from the shop.

But Loki recognized the bow in Zhang Heng’s hand—the [Pestilence Bone Bow], belonging to the White Horse Knight, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. This B-grade bone bow was also a reminder of the fate of the White Horse Knight.. If he didn’t want to go in the direction of Pestilence’s fate, he needed to keep his spirits up at all times.
