Chapter 1387: Chapter 1387 – An Eye-opener
Zhang Heng didn’t know who the shooter was, but the mysterious gunman must have used the god-slaying bullets that had attacked Thor and the Succubus, because ordinary bullets obviously couldn’t do this kind of damage.
Zhang Heng had already recognized the person who was blocking his way as Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmanship in Greek mythology. Although Hephaestus wasn’t as famous as Zeus in modern times, he wasn’t a nobody, in the end, he was knocked down by a single bullet. The lethality of this bullet was even higher than the first version of the god-slayer bullet that he had seen before.
And that wasn’t the end of it. As Zhang Heng continued to move forward, gunshots rang out one after another, and there was more than one. It was as if an armed squad was following behind him, silently escorting him.
However, Zhang Heng didn’t understand. He and the mysterious organization didn’t have much interaction. Furthermore, he could already be considered the public enemy of mankind, so why would the other party help him.
However, the appearance of the squad did open up his escape route. He did not even have to make a move. The supernatural creatures that came at him were all killed by the squad’s guns.
However, the gunshots also revealed their location. The gods were not fools. They quickly realized that if they wanted to stop Zhang Heng, they had to deal with the squad next to him first.
Therefore, after 15 minutes, the gunshots suddenly became more concentrated, and the center of the battlefield shifted away from Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng hesitated for a moment. He knew that he could save some people, but if he did that, he might also be slowed down by the battle. However, in the end, Zhang Heng still chose to run toward the location of the gunshots.
However, just as he took a step forward, the next bullet landed less than half a meter in front of him.

Zhang Heng had no choice but to stop. He knew what the gunman meant. The other party did not want him to interfere in his side of the battle. Seeing this, Zhang Heng did not dawdle, he decisively used the time that the team had bought for him to continue running forward.
At the same time, in a cliff less than half a mile away from him, another battle quietly began.
A woman in a long white dress stood barefoot on the tallest rock. Her long black hair fell to her waist, and there was a long sword at her waist. She looked very heroic, however, the strange thing was that only her eyes were covered by a cloth.
The expression on her face was a little difficult to understand. She said to the other woman in front of her, “Are you sure you want to stop me?”
“Teacher, you’ve been working very hard recently. Why Don’t you take a break tonight?”
“I chose you as my agent not only because I think highly of your combat ability and intelligence. Most importantly, you have the same beliefs as me. There are many people in this world who pursue justice, but there are very few who can persevere to the end. This is because sometimes justice will only repay you with pain. Just like now, I know that you have a good relationship with him, and you even like him in your heart. But this is a hurdle that you must overcome, because only by overcoming this hurdle can you truly understand what justice is.”
Shen Xixi shook her head, “I once promised him that if he really got lost in the darkness, no matter how far he got lost or what sins he committed, I would never give up on finding him. Moreover, he didn’t do anything wrong in the first place. It wasn’t like he was the one who chose to become the vessel of the Lord of Lalaiya.”

“I’ve told you long ago that some people are born with sins. You just don’t believe this yet,”the white-clothed woman said, “From the moment he was targeted by the Lord of Lalaye, his life was tightly bound to destruction. For him, there were only two choices in the future: either to destroy the world or to destroy himself. In comparison, the evil brought about by the latter outcome was smaller.”
“Evil is evil, there is no difference in size. Besides, I don’t think he has no way out like you said.”
“His hiding in this deep mountain is the best proof. This means that he has given up on saving himself, but he doesn’t have the courage to kill himself. It’s just that your love for him has blinded your eyes.”
A hint of contempt flashed in the woman’s eyes, “I should have done it when we first met, but I was interrupted halfway by that old man Kronos. Now It’s time to finish the work that I couldn’t finish before.”
But after she said that, Shen Xixi didn’t give way. She just repeated, “Teacher has done a lot for this world. It’s time to take a break.”
“You really… disappoint me. There’s a limit to your capriciousness.”The woman in White’s voice also turned cold, “You should know that although I chose you to be my agent, I have always treated you as my student. I asked you to call me teacher. My expectation for you is not only to help me win this game, but also to give you my scale.”
“That’s why I’m standing in front of you today. Teacher, that guy has already made his choice. Now it’s my turn.”Shen Xixi bowed slightly and lifted the scale in her hand.
“I gave you your ability, and I also gave you my weapon. Do you want to use these to fight against me?”The woman in White was even more mocking.
“No, there are still rounds of games. They are the ones that allowed me to truly grow and understand my own heart,”Shen Xixi said. “Besides, I still have friends.”
As soon as she finished speaking, rabbit and Li Bai walked down the mountain path not far away. Li Bai, in particular, was still rubbing his hands in anticipation when facing the famous goddess of justice, Justya.
The woman in White did not seem to be surprised at all. Since she had chosen Shen Xixi as her representative, she naturally knew Shen Xixi’s background very well. Since her student would appear here tonight.., it was naturally impossible for her not to bring Li Bai and rabbit.
However, the next moment, she heard the footsteps of a third person. The footsteps were somewhat unfamiliar to her. It was someone she had never seen before.
“Is your teacher-student interaction session over?”The owner of the footsteps asked. It was also a girl.
“If you’re really as smart as he says, you should know that chatting is also a means of stalling.”Shen Xixi’s tone was a little strange. Towards the helper she had found.., there seemed to be a hint of unexplainable vigilance.
Fan Meinan smiled. “I’m just making use of your atmosphere to talk some nonsense. What if your teacher is in the middle of a conversation and insists on giving me a moral education?”
Fan Meinan wanted to continue speaking, but the woman in white interrupted her. “Cut the crap. Let me see what you’ve prepared.”
“Okay.”Fan Meinan took out a box of plasticine. “Next, I Promise I’ll let you have an eye-opening experience.”

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!
