Chapter 1198: Why Me?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Heng ignored Loki’s blessings and frowned. “What did you do to me? How did you get me into your dungeon?”

“Hey, don’t you have a better question? I’m the god of lies and pranks. These things are a piece of cake for me,” Loki said proudly while puffing out his chest.

Unfortunately for him, Zhang Heng ignored his nonsense and took the [Pestilence Bone Bow] from his back.

Seeing that Zhang Heng was ready to attack again, Loki could only say helplessly, “Stop, stop, stop. Even if we’re going to attack later, we should at least listen to what the other party has to say first. I’m sitting here waiting for you at the risk of radiation poisoning and getting hit by a car.”

“You’re the god of lies and pranks. Is there even a need to listen to a word you say?” Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

“I’m the god of lies and pranks, but I’m not always lying.” Loki spread his hands, “You’ve also read the Nordic myths, so you should know that I’ve done some good things in there. Although the Asgardian gods hate me, many have received my favor. It’s only because I’m the son of a giant that they’ve never really treated me as one of their own. This is really a sad story. It’s heartbreaking, really”

“So you dragged me into your pocket dimension to tell me about the discrimination the Asgardian gods have shown you and the unfair treatment you’ve suffered?” Zhang Heng asked calmly. “I suggest you look for that yellow-haired man on Twitter. He has spent his whole life fighting for the cause of eliminating racial discrimination and has achieved remarkable results. He might be interested in this matter of yours.”

“No, I’m listing these old stories and digging my own wounds for you to see. I just want to tell you that we are actually the same kind of people,” Loki said emotionally. “The same kind of people who have no one to rely on and are treated as outliers. I don’t know who to believe…”

“I don’t have a tragic story like yours. My family is very good to me, and I have many friends. Thank you.”

“You only say that because you know nothing about what’s going to happen.” Loki licked his lips, “I know that you don’t believe me because of my past reputation. It’s okay, you don’t have to. You just have to ask yourself. I dare to bet that somewhere in the depths of your heart, you must have also wondered why Kronos could be so good to you. Not only did he choose you to be his agent, but he was also willing to use most of his divine power to make that little cheating device for you. Are you his illegitimate son, or his old lover?

“Or are you really willing to believe his nonsense about guardian angels?”

“Get to the point.” Zhang Heng was unmoved.

“The point is that Kronos has designs on you, and there are people around you… who have designs on you. No matter which side they belong to, they all want something from you… Forgive me for being blunt, but it looks like your situation isn’t too good. Brother, when I was in Asgard, everyone didn’t like me either, but I’ve always been the one to plot against others, and very few people have been able to plot against me. So, compared to you, it looks like I was in a better situation.”

“What’s your plan, then?”

“What?” Loki blinked with innocence.

“You just said that everyone who approaches me has a plan for me. Then you must have a plan for approaching me,” Zhang Heng said.

“Of course.” Loki didn’t try to deny it. Instead, he admitted it openly. He whistled happily, “I’m also one of the people who sneakily approached you. It’s just that my purpose is different from others. There’s an instinct in my body, and it’s this instinct that has led me here.”

“Your instinct is to wreak havoc everywhere?”

Loki pretended not to hear him and continued, “First, I must apologize to you. Your previous guess was right. I did tamper with your body and pulled you into my game, but rest assured that this won’t happen again, because even if it’s me, it’s not without a price. Besides, some guy who hates me seems to have patched up this loophole.

“And the reason why I chose this way to meet you is to avoid Kronos and prevent that old schemer from playing any time tricks. I want to have a simple face-to-face chat with you, that’s all. If you want, I’ll also prepare coffee, beer, tea… oh, and some cookies I just baked myself. They’re very cute. I’ve got kittens, puppies, and pandas. If you want, you can have a few.”

As he spoke, Loki pulled out a plate of biscuits from a bag by the side of the road.

Zhang Heng didn’t reach for it, and asked instead, “What do you call this?” “Do you call this a simple face-to-face conversation? You chose an active ID on the forum that’s interested in me. You disguised yourself as the player behind the ID to get close to me. You lowered my guard and stayed by my side. If you really want to talk, you could have revealed your identity when we first entered the dungeon, instead of waiting until our identities were exposed.

“Not to mention, during this period of time, you even secretly stuffed the graphite from the core of reactor No. 4 into the bodies of others.

“Just before we left for the Pripyat Hotel last night, you stuffed a piece of graphite into your travel bag for food, but I threw it away.”

Loki gave his most innocent look. “There’s nothing I can do. The main mission of the dungeon is like this. I need to let you absorb as much radiation as possible while you’re not carrying it, and you have to find me before your condition deteriorates. This is the rule of the dungeon. Even I can’t violate it and reveal my identity to you in advance. Speaking of which, you really are vigilant. I’m already so close to you, and this dungeon is a one-on-one mode, yet you’re still on guard against me. I didn’t even get the chance to find you,” Loki commended.

“Is that so? But I see that you’ve quite happily changed the main storyline mission of the dungeon.”

Zhang Heng mercilessly exposed Loki’s lie.

“Who said that? Didn’t I just roll over? I didn’t expect that guy to come personally.” Loki sighed, “And I really never meant you any harm. I just took this rare opportunity to make a keener observation of you.”

“Then what about the incident that happened in the abandoned subway line? Your agent led us to the territory of Jemengarde. You want that python to kill me, right?” Zhang Heng asked.

“I admit that the idea is tempting, but the real reason is that I want to see if you can wake my son up.”

“Why me?” Zhang Heng’s expression changed.

“Because no one is more suitable to represent the end of the world than you,” Loki smiled.
