Chapter 1432: Chapter 1432 – The Troubles Of The Gods 4 (Thanks To Alliance Leader Long Absence)
“We are now trapped in this area called the station. Can’t you let us return to the real world and leave you here alone?”A God questioned.
“No.”The person who spoke was not even Gaime or Zhang Heng, but Zeus. In the previous battle, he had been the main force against Cthulhu, and his divine weapon, thunder, had been destroyed, therefore, he could be considered the person who understood Cthulhu the best among the gods.
“The power of this space isn’t enough to trap that guy. In fact, if my weapon was still here, I could have destroyed this area,”Zeus said with a serious expression.
“But even if Gaime couldn’t do it, even if we added in the strongest area we could create, we still wouldn’t be able to trap him, right?”The God of Light, Bader, said.
“That’s the theory,”Zhang Heng said. “Other than the underwater city called La Leye, there’s no other place in this world that can completely block his movements.”
“Then what’s the point of asking us for help?”A goddess dressed in JK said with an unfriendly expression.
“Me and the other guy who lives in my body, when we use our bodies, the other party is in a state of hibernation, which means that they have no sense of the outside world. Previously, Gaime and I discussed a possibility,”Zhang Heng said calmly.
“I want to recreate the outside world one by one in a game dungeon,”Zhang Heng said. “I heard from Gaime that to be as flawless as the previous dungeons, all of you need to work together.”
“Wait, are you trying to trick that guy? That dungeon is the real world, right?”The goddess of wisdom, Athena, was also surprised, “Even if that guy fell for this trick, he wouldn’t be able to trick him for too long, right? After he destroys the world, he’ll realize that his power hasn’t changed. Naturally, he’ll realize that something’s wrong.”

“That’s right. That’s when we need the existence of the second world,”Zhang Heng answered quickly, obviously having studied this question for a long time.
“Second World?”As expected of the goddess of wisdom, Athena was only stunned for a moment before she realized what was going on. “You want to put another one on top of the real world?”
“We’re not going to put another one on. Just to be on the safe side, it’s better for us to put a few more on top of each other,”Zhang Heng said, “It’s better to put one on top of the other like a thousand layer cake, but remember to leave a door for me so that I can go in and out when it’s my time.”
“You only have ten minutes, what’s there to get in and out of?”The god of amusement park could not help but roll his eyes.
“As long as I change the flow of time, ten minutes can still become very long. Besides, who said I only have ten minutes to use?”Zhang Heng shook the starfish in his hand, “Unfortunately, with this watch, the flow of time in that special dungeon can only be set to 1:1. However, this is also good, so that he won’t be suspicious easily.”
The gods looked at each other. They all realized that this solution could indeed work.
However, after a moment of silence, someone spoke up, “Your plan might be able to fool him a few times, but as time goes on, he won’t even be able to confirm whether he’s in the real world anymore. He’ll use brute force to break open the dungeon.”
“That’s right, but that’s at least a year away. It’ll take him at least a year to destroy the first two worlds,”Zhang Heng said.
“After that, we’ll have to rely on the players,”Zhang Heng said, “This is also the reason why we need to restart the game. This time, the newly released expansion pack will undergo a large number of updates and release the main mission — The Awakening of Cthulhu. The ultimate goal of the game is no longer to PK between players, but to find a way to fight Cthulhu together.”

“So many of us gods are helpless, what can a mere human do…”Apollo frowned.
“The point is not that they have a way, but to make them believe that they have a way,”Zhang Heng emphasized once more, “This also requires your help. Now that we have the main mission, we are still short of sub-missions, especially those related to you. Other than that, the number of players is also not enough. We need to continue expanding. Only when enough people believe in the final outcome will that outcome happen.”
“But that doesn’t mean that it’s against the rules. We Gods can’t use any means to change our fate,”the tarot card god questioned.
“We didn’t. We only gave them a main storyline mission. As for the choice, we’ll give it back to the players.”
“Aren’t you worried that they’ll destroy the world in the end? Or that they’ll choose to kill you and Cthulhu Together? Haven’t they already done that once?”Chronos suddenly said.
“Of course I’m worried, but a wise man once told me to have faith in humanity. She showed me the kindness of the world, so I plan to return that kindness to the world,”Zhang Heng said, “I believe that if they’re given enough time, they’ll find a better solution. Besides, neither I nor the guy in my body can be killed so easily. As time passes, Cthulhu culture and my novel will become more and more popular. Of course, if one day we become less popular, then your troubles will automatically be resolved.”
The gods fell silent again, and they began to whisper to each other.
However, this was not the case for Kronos. Although he was isolated by the gods for releasing Cthulhu, as an old god who was good at socializing.., even at a time like this, Kronos still had some allies and friends, but he did not gather like the others around him.
“Why? Aren’t you going to consider my proposal?”Zhang Heng asked.
“There’s nothing to consider.”Kronos shook his head. “Do we have any other choice but to do as you say?” “To be honest, if I could have predicted what would happen after I brought you out of that city under the ice, I might have killed you then.”
“You won’t,”Zhang Heng said calmly, “Even if someone as conceited as you saw the result in advance, you would have believed that you had a way to change it. Besides, deep down in your heart, you’re a gambler.”
For the first time, Chronos didn’t get angry when he heard the last sentence. He took out another bag of fudge from his pocket and poured it into his mouth, “You’ve won this round. You can say whatever you want, but I won’t give up on my final goal.”
“I know.”Zhang Heng was quick-witted. He grabbed the remaining Fudge from the old man and threw it into his mouth, “I look forward to fighting you next time, but if I win the next time, I’m afraid you’ll have to pay a bigger price.”
“Then we’ll see.”Kronos snorted.

Synergy
Dear Inspector, Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player. Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign? Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good. Sincerely,Randel, the Mad Painter What to expect from Synergy: --> Some GameLit elements are presented subversively. If you want the protagonist to “play the game” properly, this might not be the story for you.--> No filler chapters; the story's structure is already plotted out. It's going to have six story arcs.--> Character development happens slowly, over many chapters. Don't expect a perfect protagonist right off the bat.--> Some romance, but it will never be the main focus.--> Humor and dark elements in equal measure, but not to the extent that I’d label this story as “Comedy” or “Grimdark”. ... and lots and lots of Author's Notes. See you on the other side of the portal!

Earth's First Dungeon
Reginald Montgomery was a high class Rules Lawyer, specializing in the 'art' of Min-Maxing a Character. He had been the secret behind the ability of the Guild 'Eternal Gamer' being able to obtain the World First Clears of various MMOs for the last five years. The political entities of the world had hidden the imminent approach of a gigantic meteor, of similar size to the one that theoretically wiped out the dinosaurs, until it was able to be spotted by high powered astronomical telescopes. The United Nations sends nukes into a crater located deep on the meteor, breaking it into millions of smaller fragments, except for around two areas, where there was a building that looked like an old school Roman temple and one where there was a giant metallic cube. The cube crashed into Reginald's backyard, and his 'gamer' senses were itching at the chance of supremely valuable loot. Upon investigating, he is injected with a control crystal for a 'Construction Core', but when it releases an extremely high density of pressurized mana, his body seizes up and the Core draws his mind into it before merging the control crystal back into the Core and retreating into the Cube and digging itself deeper. Two months later, Reginald becomes aware again, only to find out that nothing is as it was and he is now the Earth's First Dungeon...
