Chapter 1409: The Departed Gods
When Apollo raised his head for the last time and looked at the red fireball above his head, he finally could not help but shed tears. Then, he played the lyre in his hand.
Melodious and mournful music flowed out from his fingertips. The gods who heard the music stopped what they were doing. The youngest God among them had only been born less than a year ago, the oldest God had lived on this land for thousands of years. He had witnessed the prosperity and decline of countless civilizations. He had long become one with this land. However, now, he was forced to migrate in order to survive, he had become a rootless leaf.
Many people’s eyes welled up with tears when they thought of this.
The group of gods who first proposed the Garden of Eden, led by ISIS, were busy with the final phase of the work. They were selecting babies to be the Tinder and arranging the construction tasks after they arrived in the New World.
It was not an easy task to build human civilization from scratch. Moreover, there were many gods arriving in the new world, not only the old gods but also the new gods. How to balance the interests of all parties and reach an outcome that everyone was relatively satisfied with was even more difficult.
At present, after countless intense negotiations and even reaching the point of restarting the war, both sides had finally made some concessions, in less than three months, they had barely reached an initial consensus.
This was already an incredible speed, because just three months ago, both sides were still in a state of war. In fact, if it wasn’t for the external threat of Cthulhu.., the new and Old Gods who were already at the top would never be able to reach any agreement at the negotiation table.
In the end, Zeus and the god of science shook hands with each other, signifying that a fragile balance had finally been reached within the gods.
And the next step was the collective migration.
This was a large project that had already begun a month ago. The first to enter was a group of relatively weak gods, as they were most worried about being contaminated by Cthulhu, followed by slightly stronger gods.., until today, only the last group of passengers was left.
However, just as Apollo and the other gods were reminiscing about their last moments on this piece of land, an uninvited guest that had not appeared before suddenly appeared in front of the gods.
The god of time, Kronos.
Compared to three months ago, he looked much older. His eyes were filled with anger, and he no longer had the calmness he had before. He strode towards the man in a suit with a tie and an exaggerated moustache.
The latter was still standing slightly further away from the other gods. He was leisurely feeding the birds with bread crumbs, as if he did not hear Apollo’s sad music.
It was not until Chronos stood in front of him.
“Long time no see, Chronos,”the man with the moustache greeted. “I hope you can get rid of that bad habit of eating sweets as soon as possible.”
Kronos sneered. “Enjoy yourself. where is gaime? I want to see him.”
The bearded man sighed. “Why are you all looking for Gaime? He’s So Big, I don’t care where he goes.”
“Your tricks can fool others, but they can’t fool me,”Kronos said coldly. “I know what Zhang Heng was doing in the mountains for the past two weeks.”
“Yes, I heard that you were there as well. In order to ensure that your long-prepared plan could be carried out smoothly, you’ve been keeping an eye on him to ensure that nothing unexpected happens. When he’s desperate, he’ll have no choice but to accept your request for a blood transfusion,”the man with the mustache said, “You’re still as shrewd and calculating as ever, and you’re filled with patience and caution. Unfortunately, you’ve forgotten one thing. Humans are different from us. They’ve always been unpredictable.”
Kronos completely ignored what the man with the mustache was saying and only repeated, “I know what he has been doing in the mountains for the past two weeks. He is playing games. He used the game console he got from the proxy war. There is a game called ‘endless journey’on it. Gaime is inside. He used that game console to contact the missing gaime, right?”
Kronos stared at the mustached man’s eyes, as if he was trying to read the answer.
However, the mustached man only stroked his beard and said, “I can understand your feelings, Kronos. No matter who it is, they spend eighteen years preparing a dish, but in the end, they still feel angry when they don’t get to eat it…”
“Many people think that I’m crazy for daring to have designs on the Master of the city under the ice, but in my opinion, you and Gaime are the real madmen. I admit that I’m coveting his power, but at least I’m not crazy enough to let him out. It’s entirely your and Gaime’s fault that things have developed to this point. Guess what the other gods will think if I tell them about this?”
In reality, when Chronos suddenly appeared in front of the man with the mustache, many of the gods’attention was drawn to the two of them. However, they were unable to eavesdrop for the time being.
The Man with the Mustache Shrugged, but as if he hadn’t heard the threat in the god of Time’s words, he said softly, “Chronos, you need to take a good rest. Don’t let your imagination run wild.”
However, the god of time remained unmoved, “I admit that I’ve lost this round. From the moment the lord of Laraya descended into Zhang Heng’s body, I’ve lost completely. I’ve lost completely, and there’s no way I can turn the tables. So now, I just need an answer.”
“What answer?”
“What kind of trick are you playing?”
“Why are you so sure that Gaime and I are playing a trick?”The bearded man asked with interest.
“Gaime has always hoped that the new God and the old God could get along peacefully, but this time, everyone knows that the war between the two camps is inevitable, and even he can’t mediate. In the end, because of the arrival of the Lord of lalenia, the new God and the old God suddenly have a common enemy, and they have no choice but to work together again. The war has just begun, and it ended in a way that no one expected.
“The current outcome might be difficult for the others, but for you, it just so happens that the price is too high. Moreover, do you really treat the other gods as fools?”
“We don’t treat the other gods as fools.”The mustached man shook his head. Finally, he did not avoid the question of the god of time and sighed, “Chronos, your intelligence is top-notch among both the new and Old Gods. The only regret is that it’s a little too small. This is probably why you still can’t understand gaime.”
