Chapter 1335: New News
Miss Succubus couldn’t help but glance at Zhang Heng when she heard what the owner of the beach shorts had to say.
It couldn’t be helped. She had just brought a certain someone to look for ISIS when the man who had killed her husband, Seth, died. This was too much of a coincidence, not to mention the fact that ISIS had left with Zhang Heng halfway through, the two obviously had some sort of agreement, but it was ISIS who returned first, and it took a long time before it was Zhang Heng.
However, Miss Succubus thought about the time that Zhang Heng would return, and she felt that it was rather unlikely. Unless this guy knew how to teleport, the speed of his return was too fast. So, in the end, she only opened her mouth, she didn’t say anything.
Since he had gotten Sage’s address, Zhang Heng didn’t hesitate and immediately booked the nearest flight.
However, when the two of them arrived at the airport, Miss Succubus was shopping for clothes in the waiting room with Zhang Heng’s computer in her hands when her fingers suddenly stopped.
“What’s Wrong?”Zhang Heng bought two cups of coffee for Miss Succubus and one for himself.
“You asked me to keep an eye out for news from the organizing committee. I just received one,”Miss Succubus said as she took the coffee.
“Tell me about it.”
“Gaime is missing.”Miss Succubus sighed.
“What?”
“GAIME, the god of games, is missing,”Miss Succubus repeated, “Well, actually, Gaime hasn’t shown his face for almost a month, and he hasn’t issued any orders. Previously, everyone was curious as to why he hasn’t intervened in the recent conflict.”
“But didn’t the organizing committee intervene?”
“The organizing committee is operating on its own according to the rules and regulations he left behind. In fact, Gaime isn’t a person who likes to manage things. After establishing the organizing committee, he’s basically retired, but… everyone knows that he’s a very otaku person. Even if he doesn’t show his face, everyone knows where he is.”
Miss Succubus took a sip of the coffee in her hand and continued, “This time, because of Thor’s matter, a serious conflict between the new God and the old God just broke out. Although the arrival of the god of Science, Seth and Odin, didn’t make the situation completely out of control, this matter was actually a fuse. The grudges between the new God and the old God had accumulated for so many years, and it was time to end it. So the two of them, as the representatives of the new God and the old God, went to find Gaime.”
“And then?”
“Then, Gaime disappeared.”Miss Succubus shrugged, “Not only did he disappear, but when Odin and Saenz arrived at Gaime’s game room, all the game consoles and cards were gone.”
“Does that mean that he left on his own? Is there no other way for the Old Gods and the New Gods to contact him?”Zhang Heng asked.
“No,”Miss Succubus answered straightforwardly. “He usually stays in that game room. No one expected him to leave there one day, but…”
After a pause, Miss Succubus continued, “He’s the god of games. The most likely place to go is still in the game. “The problem is that there are too many games on the market right now. PC, Mobile, handheld, board games… from 3A games to skin-changing games, no one knows which game Gaime is in. So, as of now, he is indeed missing.”
“Doesn’t that mean the only person who can stop the war between the old and New Gods is also gone?”Zhang Heng said.
“That’s right.”Miss Succubus couldn’t help but blame herself for being the number one among the gods, “You don’t know, but the war between the gods has been going on for thousands of years. At that time, there was still no division between the old and New Gods, but no matter when, there will always be the decline of the gods, and there will always be the rise of the gods. In essence, it is the same. The newcomers want to rise to the top, and the old are unwilling to be trampled on. It is a matter of decline and prosperity, and even life and death. Even if they don’t want to fight, they have to fight.
“Actually, it’s not just the gods. These wars often affect a wide area, and even the believers will be involved. After all, faith is the foundation of the gods. The Crusade’s two eastern expeditions were to directly destroy the foreign gods at the level of believers. However, our succubus race still has some self-awareness, and it’s also quite special. Facing the church’s pursuit, we basically just run away or hide. But even so, many of our clansmen still died.
“That’s why I don’t know what other people think. It’s just me and my sisters. We’re quite grateful to GAIME. If it weren’t for him establishing a new order and resolving the conflicts between the gods through the game, the all-out war between the old and New Gods would have broken out long ago. No matter what, we’ve been living a peaceful life.
“However, his disappearance at this critical moment is equivalent to removing the last layer of insurance before the war begins. If this continues, an all-out war will be inevitable, and the order he personally built will collapse. To be honest, I have no idea what he’s thinking right now.”
Zhang Heng’s expression changed slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
As for Miss Succubus, she was just lamenting the current situation. After all, with her strength, she still needed Zhang Heng to protect her. There was nothing she could do about the war between the new God and the old God.
An hour and a half later, the two of them took a plane to Saiji’s city.
However, just as Zhang Heng was about to take a taxi to the address that Miss Succubus had given him, he was stopped by the latter. “Have you ever dealt with a girl before?”
“Why?”
“We can’t go to visit her empty-handed, right?”
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. “We didn’t bring any gifts when we went to look for ISIS, did we?”
“It’s different,”Miss Succubus explained patiently, “Sahiki and ISIS are two different types of people. Isis was once the queen, but after her husband was killed, she took her children everywhere to hide from her brother. After entering Kingdom of God, she immediately seized the power of Ra and became the most powerful goddess. This kind of woman has a strong heart and is full of ambition. She doesn’t care if you go to her with a gift or not. She cares more about what kind of return you can give her after helping you.
“But Sage is completely different. She was originally a princess, and she was very beautiful. Since she was young, she had been doted on by thousands of people. She lived in the palace for a long time and was ignorant of the affairs of the world. Even after she was captured by Cupid, Cupid had always doted on her. The only trouble she encountered came from Venus, but to be honest, it was nothing much. Moreover, because of that, she successfully climbed Mount Olympus and became a god. To her, a gift could make things much easier. “Moreover, it’s different from ISIS’s time. This time, you don’t ask her to do anything troublesome. You just ask her for advice. This kind of thing completely depends on her mood.”
“I’ve learned my lesson,”Zhang Heng said.
