Chapter 1308: Chapter 1308 – The Magic Circle
“Even if I managed to find Seth with your help, according to the information you just provided, doesn’t Thor still have him?”Zhang Heng asked.
“That’s why I’m Looking for you,”Isis said. “I believe that if it were you, you would be able to find a solution, right?”
Zhang Heng didn’t answer immediately.
ISIS blinked, “I know what you’re thinking. Taking me down is easier than dealing with Seth and Thor at the same time, right? Unfortunately, I asked my maid to send that little succubus away, not because I didn’t want her to hear our conversation.”
“I’m not that close to her,”Zhang Heng said lightly.
“HMM, then are you familiar with Lalaiye’s Master?”Isis said as she placed the hair dryer in her hand on the bar counter and picked up a bunch of grapes.
As she said this, the meeting room fell into a strange silence.
A moment later, Zhang Heng looked at Isis’dark blue eyes that were as deep as the ocean and asked in a deep voice, “What do you know?”
“I only know… What I should know,”Isis said, “You’ve read my stories, so you must have heard what the world said about me. In some of the stories, they described me as a greedy woman who would do anything to obtain power. But you must know that before that, my husband was killed by my brother. I took my son to escape into the wilderness and almost lost my life. It was at that time that I realized the importance of power.”
“What do you want to say?”
“I want to say…”Isis used two fingers to pinch the grape and put it into her mouth, “I’m not as greedy as you think. I’m no different from other women. All I want is a sense of security. You helped me kill Seth, so I don’t care what you do. In return, I’ll cure your friend. When this is over, I’ll forget everything that has to do with you. You Don’t have to worry about me asking you for anything else.”

“It sounds like you didn’t leave me much of a choice,”Zhang Heng said.
“I’m not threatening you. Whether it’s the little succubus or your background, it’s just a way for me to protect myself. No matter how glorious my past is, I’m only the boss of a health club with very little godly power left. If you don’t agree with my suggestion, you can just leave this place. I’ll release Trista, and I’ll keep your secret as well. After all, I’m looking for someone to help me remove the threat, not to create another enemy.”ISIS shrugged.
Zhang Heng thought about it for about half a minute before saying, “Heal my friend first, and then I’ll help you kill Seth.”
Upon hearing that, a troubled look appeared on Isis’face, “It’s not that I don’t think you can do it, but the situation on my side is obviously more urgent. Right now, both the old and New Gods are looking for Seth and Thor. I do have a way to locate Seth, but I’m worried that if I’m too late, he’ll fall into the hands of others.”
“That’s what I need to consider,”Zhang Heng said. “As long as you cure my friend, no matter where Seth is, I’ll help you solve this problem.”
This time, it was Isis’turn to think. Her fingers tapped on the table of the bar, and after a moment, she compromised, “I need to make a contract with you first to ensure that you can complete my request after I complete yours. Also, where is your friend now?”
“She’s not in this city, but a round trip by plane will take four to five hours,”Zhang Heng said.
“The plane is too slow. Use My Magic teleportation circle,”Isis said.
Twenty minutes later, ISIS changed into her usual clothes and carried a small suitcase to the first floor of the health club. Zhang Heng had already been brought here by ISIS’s Egyptian maid. Other than that, there was also Miss Succubus.

The latter didn’t seem very satisfied with Zhang Heng’s decision to temporarily place her in the health club, “Since you and Isis have left, what’s the point of me staying here alone? Don’t forget that you have the succubus oath on you. If I Die, you won’t be happy either.”
Isis smiled when she heard that, “Don’t worry, My Health Club has a magic array set up. If enemies come, it will activate automatically. In addition, I’ve also dug a secret passage. If it really doesn’t work, my maid will take you out through the secret passage.”
Hearing this, Miss Succubus reluctantly agreed to Zhang Heng’s arrangement. However, before Isis left, she warned her, “You’re my honored guest here. In principle, other than a few rooms that I’ve locked with magic, you can go anywhere you want. No one will stop you from doing whatever you want. But let me be clear. I still need to use the image of a master that I’ve worked so hard to create to make money, so it’s best if you don’t make a move on the customers here.”
The succubus looked innocent. “I won’t try to seduce those Golden Roosters of yours on purpose, but if they beg me to suck them up, I can’t help it.”
“Perhaps I should turn you into a frog before I leave,”Isis said lightly.
“Fine, I’ll stay in your bedroom, watch TV, and eat some snacks,”the succubus said obediently. Then she turned to Zhang Heng, “You better come back soon, or else I’ll be the one being punished by the oath. What the hell? Why did I swear to stay by your side?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon. There’s something else I need to ask you.”
After Zhang Heng finished speaking, Isis pushed open the stone door in front of them and led Zhang Heng inside.
Underground, a complicated-looking magic circle was drawn with blood-colored paint. ISIS’maid stood beside the Magic Circle, she had already prepared the materials needed to activate the Magic Circle according to Isis’arrangements.
ISIS gestured for Zhang Heng to stand with her at the center of the Magic Circle, where the Stargate was carved.
After the two of them stood still, she nodded at her maid. “Let’s begin.”
The latter poured down the grease in her hand. When the grease fell to the ground, a miraculous scene appeared. It immediately mixed with the blood-like paint and slowly flowed along the marks on the ground, it was as if there was some kind of power pulling them.
ISIS took off the Anka on her neck and stuck it at her feet. At the same time, she quickly chanted a series of spells. The spell was very long, and ISIS chanted it for almost five minutes, after she finished chanting the fuel and grease, they all burned up and turned into a raging fire in an extremely short time, swallowing the two people in the Magic Circle without hesitation.

The Legion of Nothing
Nick Klein is your average high school geek--if you can still count as average when your grandfather is a retired superhero, and you've been trained in the martial arts by his friend, a mysterious, immortal mercenary. After his grandfather dies, Nick inherits the last version of the Rocket suit, powered armor that allows him to shrug off bullets, smash through walls, and manipulate sound. Along with it comes the base of his grandfather's superhero team including the team's jet and trophies from forty years of fighting criminals and aliens. Together, Nick and his friends, descendants of his grandfather's teammates, attempt to bring back a superhero team that was originally formed during World War 2. Along the way they'll face the normal problems of high school (bullies, homework, and dating), and the less normal problems like supervillians and mysteries leftover from their grandparents' past. As a story, it uses the conventions of all eras of comics from the 1940s on, ranging from serious to silly. If you're hoping for a grim and gritty story, this isn't it. The Legion of Nothing first debuted on my website legionofnothing.com in 2007. In that period it's updated more than 900 times, is still running, and has had millions of pageviews. The first two years have been released as an ebook, receiving good reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. I hope you'll enjoy it, and that you'll review it and comment. You can also vote for it on Top Web Fiction and rate it on Web Fiction Guide. Member of The Order of Phantasmal Architects.
