Chapter 1293: Chapter 1293 – Guardian
“When we first met, I actually didn’t like him very much. I even considered whether or not I should use my ice pick to hit him on the head. After all, according to the situation at that time, this was the most normal option.”
“That’s right. So why did you change your mind after that?”The old man took out a bag of Randoms fudge from his pocket, tore open the packaging, grabbed a handful from inside, and threw it into his mouth.
“Because my wife has always been a heartless person since she was young. She has been muddle-headed every day and likes to push all her problems to the people around her to solve. It’s not easy at all, but she has a natural instinct. That guy has never missed a single step in all the major events in his life. I always thought that it was some kind of supernatural ability. It was not until we got married that I got the answer to this question.”
“What is it?”The old man’s interest was piqued as he asked while chewing on his fudge.
“No matter how cruel this world is, the world is filled with evil. She can always find the kindness hidden behind the cruelty and evilness that others have overlooked. Therefore, this world always reciprocates her kindness,”father Zhang said, “At that time, when we were in the city under the ice, we could see that the child was dying after leaving the tentacle, but we were indifferent. We even faintly hoped that he would die. However, only Xiao Xia wanted the child to live. She first picked up the umbilical cord and inserted it into her body, using her own blood to deliver nutrition to the child, even though I didn’t think that she had fully thought about the risks at that time.
“But that’s who she is, and if you live with her long enough, you’ll understand that you don’t have to question her choices, you just have to follow her instincts, so I took her place and gave my blood to that child, which gave that child my blood and Xia’s blood.

“What happened after that proved this point once again. When we were surrounded by those monsters and thought that we would definitely die, it was this child who saved us. Because they were afraid that killing us would also cause this child to die, they stopped and watched us leave the city under the ice. Xiao Xia and I gave him life, but in the end, he also gave us life. It was also at that time that I felt a certain connection between us and him. This was also why we decided not to ask for anything in the future. We only wanted to adopt him,”father Zhang said.
“To be honest, when you made this request to me, I was also shocked. I almost thought that you had been influenced by the Master of the city under the ice and became its fanatical believers,”the old man said, “But after I found out that he unexpectedly possessed a soul, it was indeed not suitable for me to bring him along or hand him over to my group of secret believers. It might be a good choice for you and your wife to adopt him.”
After a pause, he continued, “So, you are willing to challenge the gods for him because he once saved you in that city under the ice?”
Father Zhang did not answer this question. Instead, he asked, “You have never raised a child, right? Even though you have children, and there are quite a number of them, there are three of them.”

Chronos raised his eyebrows. “We are gods. Indeed, we do not have much experience in this aspect.”
“You didn’t personally change the diapers of your children, nor did you go online to check which brand of milk powder was good. You searched all the way until late at night, comparing them one by one. You didn’t teach him to speak word by word. When you heard him call out ‘daddy’for the first time in a muffled voice, you didn’t feel that kind of joy. You Didn’t rush to take him to the pediatric hospital late at night when he had a bad stomach. You Didn’t rush to take him to the emergency room for him, filled with anxiety and self-blame… and I’ve experienced all of these. Even though we didn’t manage to accompany him through his entire childhood, this is something that I’ve always regretted and felt guilty about.”

Father Zhang and the god of time looked at each other, not taking a single step back, “Now you tell me, what do you mean he wasn’t born by us, so he’s not my son. Other than swearing at you, what else can I say? I’m only going to say these words once, and I don’t want to repeat them again. You Bullsh * t gods, you can count each and every one of you as one. Whoever comes for my son, step over my body first.”
After father Zhang finished his last sentence, he pulled out the P365 from behind him and pointed it at Chronos. However, he noticed that there were no screams from anyone around him. In fact, the entire billiard hall was abnormally quiet, even the sound of the spheres colliding with each other was gone.
Father Zhang used the corner of his eye to glance at the two young girls at the table beside him. He realized that their movements were frozen there. They did not move at all, just like two statues.
Then, he saw that Kronos’expression did not change. He nodded and said, “I’m relieved to hear that.”
“What do you mean?”Father Zhang frowned,
“You seem to have misunderstood something. I’m not your enemy. At least in terms of ensuring your son’s safety, I think our goals are the same. The reason I asked you that before was to confirm your position on this matter.”
Kronos replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you hide the issue of the bullets. I can even pretend that I didn’t notice that you wanted to kill all the gods, including me. However, you have to know that the group you created called the Guardians only have hatred in their eyes. They want to kill all the supernatural creatures and believe that this is the only way to protect humanity. If they know about the relationship between Zhang Heng and the Master of Underice City, I’m curious, will they treat him the same way they treat us?”
Father Zhang fell into silence when he heard this. After a moment, he said, “I command the Immovable Guardian. Although this organization was indeed founded by me in the beginning and the first batch of members were also recruited by me, I was only communicating with them through an anonymous email. However, as it grew stronger over the years, things began to change.
“There’s a very powerful guy among the Guardians. It’s basically the same as reorganizing the guardians and turning the Guardians into their own organization. The Guardian’s executive ability and cohesiveness have improved by a few levels, but it has indeed become more and more unfamiliar to me. However, the basic tenets of the organization have not changed. This is also the reason why I still gave them the manufacturing method of the god-slayer bullet after hesitating.”
“TSK, TSK, tsk. You opened Pandora’s box just by giving them this thing. I just got a tip that they seem to be working with Seth to start a war between the old and New Gods, and the odds are that they’ve already succeeded. I’m afraid there’s going to be a lot of excitement.”

Far Strider
A college student finds himself transported into a strange land with burgeoning magical powers, and is taken in by Ned Stark. Will he sink or swim in this medieval society, and will he ever get home? ====================== OC-insert without knowledge of Game of Thrones, new planeswalker. Slow power ramp. Second crossover: Star Wars (around chapter 39). ======================= As a note, I started this as a speed writing challenge to myself. The challenge was successful, and I managed 100,000+ words (as well as some character sheets in excel and such) over 10.5 days. Then I had to stop and let my hands recover from their burgeoning carpal tunnel syndrome. The story currently stands at around 150,000 words (or ~550 RRL pages) over 54 chapters; expect a chapter a day until I've caught up with the backlog. The focus of this story was not quality writing, and that hasn't changed. I mostly use it as my semi-guilty "I need to write something, but am not focused enough to write something good" story. Expect self-indulgent writing in general, and a bit of OP (or, well, more than just a bit if we're being honest), especially later in the story as the protagonist matures into a more full-blown Planeswalker. But if you're looking for something with a power-ramping protagonist romping around the place, something you'd be a bit embarrassed to admit liking (I know I am) but like anyways (and come on, this is RRL, so that probably describes just about everyone here who actually has shame), then this may be a nice bit of mental junk food for you.
