Chapter 1382: Chapter 1382 – The Last Chance
Zhang Heng heard the man in sunglasses and knew that there was a trap waiting for him in the camp. However, his expression did not change.
He checked the weapons and props in his hands, stood up from behind the tree, and walked toward the four of them.
However, in the next moment, Zhang Heng’s footsteps suddenly stopped because he felt a familiar feeling. The Breeze disappeared, the leaves stopped moving, and the rustling sound in his ears disappeared, the world fell into a strange silence. In this silence, even the moonlight seemed to have frozen.
Zhang Heng looked at the starfish on his wrist and realized that there were still twelve minutes until midnight. However, this time, the starfish’s needle had also stopped moving.
Then, a familiar voice came from his left hand. “We meet again.”
As the voice faded, Chronos’slightly chubby figure walked out from the shadows,
“Don’t you think that’s a little hypocritical?”Zhang Heng asked calmly.
Chronos couldn’t help but sigh when he heard that, “Do you remember the first time we met at that Maid Café? I knew you were a smart person the moment I saw you. I’ve always liked working with smart people, but now, I can’t help but Wonder, aren’t you a little too smart?”
“Based on my understanding of you, you’ve been planning for so many years, and it’s almost the last moment. You definitely don’t want any accidents to happen, so you’ve actually been here these past few days, monitoring my every move. It’s been hard on you. There are a lot of mosquitoes here, but I don’t know if they like drinking the blood of the god of time.”
“To be more precise, I spent most of my time here. I left a few times to do other things.”

“What Things?”Zhang Heng asked.
Chronos didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he frowned, “I don’t understand. You didn’t accept my proposal before. I thought you had a way to deal with Laraya’s master, but in the end, you ran into the mountains alone and went into seclusion. However, you should know that no matter where you run to, Laraya’s master will find you. Right now, you’re haunted by nightmares every night. Based on my observation, even without the people who came to kill you, you should only be able to hold on for another two days at most. It’s time to make a decision.”
“How do you know I haven’t made a decision yet?”Zhang Heng asked.
“Are you trying to get mad at me?”Chronos sighed, “Didn’t you go to Saiji just to get Cupid to swap blood with you? Now that you have a better choice, why aren’t you willing to work with me? Compared to Cupid, we’ve known each other for a long time, so we can be considered friends. Have I ever done anything to hurt you before?”
Zhang Heng seemed to have thought of something when he heard this. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “You were the one who ambushed and injured Cupid, Right?”
The expression on Chronos’face became interesting. Zhang Heng initially thought that Chronos would deny it. After all, Zhang Heng didn’t have any evidence on him. It was just a guess, however, Chronos admitted to it in the end.
“That’s right. Even though it was a group of New Gods that made the final move, I did plan the attack to stop you from exchanging blood with him. I’ve said it before, it’s a win-win situation for both of us to exchange blood. Of course, I have my own selfish motives, but to you, the outcome is the same.”

“You’re wrong.”Zhang Heng shook his head.
“Previously, when I saved Saiji at the park, she did offer to let her husband Cupid Exchange my blood to repay me. However, I didn’t agree to it after that.”
“You didn’t agree.”This time, Kronos was really surprised. “Why?”
“Because I don’t want to put my fate in the hands of others,”Zhang Heng said calmly, “No matter which God I swap blood with, after that, my body will become a part of his body. In other words, I will still face today’s trouble.”
“That’s true, but right now, you have no other choice.”Chronos tried his best to soften his tone, “You don’t want the world to be destroyed, right? If you really let the Master of Laraya take over your body, that’s not your problem alone. Your mother, father, and unborn sister, don’t you want them to live? “And your friends, that girl called Fan Meinan. You did so much to finally cure her, but in the end, all of that went down the drain.”
Chronos looked into Zhang Heng’s eyes with anticipation, “Swapping blood with me is indeed risky, but compared to the worst-case scenario, sometimes we have to take risks, don’t you think? You’re a rational person, so I believe you can calculate the pros and cons of this.”
“Chronos,”Zhang Heng interrupted the old man, but he had already turned his gaze back to the camp. “I’ve already answered your question before, how do you know that I haven’t made a choice?”
“Choice? What Choice?”Chronos’eyes finally darkened.
Zhang Heng did not reply, but walked straight to the commander and the little girl’s group.
“Did I really misjudge you? You Can’t be that ignorant and arrogant, right? “If you let that thing descend into your body, your soul will be crushed instantly. You Won’t stand a chance. Not only will you harm yourself, you’ll also harm everyone,”chronos’voice came from behind Zhang Heng.
“Thank you for your advice.”Zhang Heng waved his hand and picked up the little girl from the commander’s side. He turned around, but he realized that Chronos was still there.
“You’ve Lost Your Last Chance,”Kronos said coldly. “Don’t tell me you think that only these mortals are here to kill you today.”
“Are there any other guests? Who are they? Thor, Zeus, or someone from the new God’s side?”Zhang Heng carried the little girl and walked toward the cave.
“It’s not just one god that’s coming to kill you tonight. The gods will never allow the master of laraya to escape from that city under the ice. For this, the new God and the old God can even temporarily put aside their differences,”Kronos said, “They’ve already arrived. Do you think that I paused time just to catch up with you? I’m your only chance to escape. Furthermore, they already know that you have the time-freeze ability that I gave you. They’ve made preparations in advance. It’ll take effect at midnight. You Won’t have another 24 hours tonight.”
“Then it looks like I’ll have to rely on myself.”
After Zhang Heng finished his last sentence, he ignored the livid Kronos and walked into the darkness without looking back.

As Illias Finn remains bound within the cell of an abandoned prison the curtain calls its chosen to descend into it's embrace. To be honest I will just write and upload whenever i feel like it, but if i find it getting relative success I can try write a bit more. This will just be a write, read then upload kind of thing for me while i try to flesh out more worldbuilding. I'm pretty novice when it comes to writing just a few years of secondary english under my belt but hardly any of that's creative. NGL, a lot of this world building is inspired by Tower of God or other fiction i have read, especially the tower-like setting.
