Chapter 1331: 1331
Just as Thor and Ann were searching for Zhang Heng near the convenience store, the latter had already returned thousands of miles away, outside Isis’health club in the mountains.
It was just past midnight. Zhang Heng parked his car in front of the main door, but he realized that unlike the first time he had come, the health club’s main door was tightly shut, and it was pitch black inside.
Zhang Heng carried his luggage out of the car and pressed the doorbell.
However, after waiting for about five minutes, there was still no response from inside. No one came to open the door, and the maid of Isis, the Egyptian woman, was nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Heng frowned at the situation. He took out his [ pet wire ] and shook the wire to get it to work. However, when the [ pet wire ] opened the door in front of him.., zhang Heng retracted his hand from pushing the door open.
Then, he climbed up the drainage pipe to the fourth floor and came to a window on the east side.
Zhang Heng remembered clearly that this was the reception room where he and Isis had first met.
Just as he landed, a dagger silently stabbed toward his waist in the darkness. At the same time, Zhang Heng heard the sound of a bow. A crossbow arrow shot out from behind him. The target was precisely his back.
The knife and arrow blocked all his routes of movement. However, even though the situation was critical, Zhang Heng remained calm. He did not have time to pull out the [ hidden scabbard ] from his waist. Instead, he used the scabbard to block the arrow, he pushed away the dagger in front of him and used the force to move his body half a step to the side of his left hand. However, he also dodged the crossbow arrow behind him.

Zhang Heng immediately pulled out his [ hidden scabbard ] and slashed at the attacker’s neck.
However, the next moment, the lights in the room lit up again.
The person who had attacked him earlier also retreated three steps back. He looked at Zhang Heng with a faint smile. It was ISIS.
“What do you mean?”Zhang Heng also looked into Isis’eyes.
“Nothing much. It’s just a misunderstanding.”Isis put away the dagger in her hand as if nothing had happened, “I asked you to help me kill my brother. Although I believe in your strength, I have to consider the possibility of revenge if you fail. That’s why I made some preparations here. Speaking of which, it’s your fault for not using the main entrance.”
“You relied on a dagger and a crossbow to guard against Seth?”
“Of course not. Look at your feet.”Isis placed the dagger on the bar counter and picked up a bottle of wine.
Zhang Heng lowered his head and saw a large complex pattern. In other words, he was standing on top of a magic array, and this magic array was even bigger than the teleportation magic array in the basement, it almost filled the entire reception room.
“Looks like I won this battle after all.”Isis removed the Cork from the wine bottle and smiled smugly.
However, the next moment, her smile froze on the corner of her mouth. She realized that there was something extra on the Magic Circle that she had carefully prepared. It was a knife mark, it extended from the window all the way to where Zhang Heng was now. The magic patterns were destroyed wherever it passed.
“When?”ISIS cried out involuntarily.
Zhang Heng didn’t answer her question. He just placed the bag on the ground and took out a tule tree box from it. He tossed it to ISIS, “I helped me save him, and I’ve done what I promised you.”

Isis didn’t rush to open the box. After taking two sips of wine, she lifted the lid with one finger. Inside was a heart that had been stabbed by a dagger.
“Seth is dead. The heart is in the box. If you don’t believe me, you can use your magic to check it.”
“There’s no need. He’s my younger brother. We share the same blood, so I can still recognize his heart.”Isis had a complicated look in his eyes, however, after a moment, he closed the box. There was nothing left.
At that moment, the owl from the mural flew out and grabbed the wooden box with its claws.
“Feed it to the dogs. This is what he deserves.”
After giving her instructions, ISIS clapped her hands and turned her gaze back to the man in front of her.
“Your efficiency is truly beyond my imagination. We’ve only been apart for less than 24 hours, yet you’ve already killed Seth before the new God and the old God, and even returned to me,”Isis said, “How incredibly fast.”
“I’m just lucky. Since we’ve already fulfilled our agreement, it’s time for me to take my leave.”Zhang Heng’s expression didn’t change. “Please help me call trista over.”
“Oh, that little succubus. She’s too disobedient. I had no choice but to use magic to let her sleep. But it’s fine, I’ll get my maid to wake her up now,”Isis said, she gestured at the Vulture on the mural, and the Vulture flew away from the wall.
However, ISIS didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving the meeting room. Instead, she stared at Zhang Heng and asked curiously, “What’s your next plan?”
“What Plan?”Zhang Heng asked.
“You helped your ‘ordinary’friend solve her problem, but what about your own? “How is it? Have you had any nightmares recently? “Have you dreamed about the owner of that city? The reason you brought that little succubus with you is because you want to get information from her and solve your problem, right?”Isis said as she sat on the bar counter, her two smooth legs rested on the edge of the bar counter.
“Do you have any advice for me?”
“Not really. That guy is a brand new existence to us. His rise is too fast, and with some… Oh, natural reasons, the world knows so little about him, but…”Isis paused, “The trouble you’ve encountered can be considered to be related to life, so I, the goddess of life, can give you some advice.”.
Zhang Heng didn’t say anything. He just waited quietly for the other party to continue.
“Strictly speaking, this body of yours belongs to that guy. You and he share the same blood. “I know you’re very skilled, and you’ve just proven that once again, but unfortunately, no matter how skilled you are, you can’t affect him,”Isis said slowly.
“Why?”Zhang Heng thought back to the nightmare from before. He had only been glanced at by the figure on the throne, and he couldn’t move at all. In that case, whether it was his knife skills or his marksmanship.., or his other tools and skills, he couldn’t use them at all.

Omnipocalypse Monsters(Shelved Timeline)
System Edit: This timeline has been shelved, but the adventures of the Omegas and her kids will continue in the next System Update Timeline with additional foes and challenges early on to guide the Omegas into a less destructive path of protection.The Omnipocalypse was every apocalypse humans ever imagined all happening at once, zombies, plagues, nukes, EMPs, Robot uprisings. Not just the earth either, It happened to every World ever dreamed up by men too: heaven, hell, and every other afterlife or spirit world ended, plus the worlds of books and stories bled into reality. It all broke apart and either; became new places on the chaotic Earth or part of the even messier spirit world. Magic beasts mutated by radiation, Robots mastering Magic, the mixture of everything made the horrors... well, more horrible. Omega; A young Woman with few memories wakes to find she has spent 2500 years in stasis, in a basement of scientific horrors. Creatures and Things that could supposedly destroy the world if ever let free. Horrors of which she was the last to get free. Rather then Quest for world domination or destruction; Omega keeps getting drawn into a protective role over other orphans, lost monsters, and broken AIs. So she decides to build something to help all her little monster family be safe. -------This story is meant to be a behind the scenes look at stories about kids solving problems that should be beyond them. I always wanted to see a story about Professor Oak, Dumbledore, or any other mentor who trains the main characters. I like the idea of someone looking at the apocalyptic world and deciding to make it safe enough that a small child can wander off and make some monster their pet. The pokemon games have fun systems to consider the behind the scenes workings of, like what training a team rocket member goes through to become a villain cut out for children to defeat. how they prevent a deific pokemon from accidentally murdering some little rat with its immense psionic power. However, the story itself is not really meant to be a pokemon parody, I draw inspiration from every genre of fiction, any type of game, this story is the only one I plan of ever writing without a clear cut ending planned, I love the infinite storytelling capacity of things like Doctor who's TARDIS, the Stargate or Rick's portal gun. In this case, I wanted the setting itself to be one where any and every story might happen. Cover Image by kalli gruen from Pixabay Discord Image by Digital Photo and Design DigiPD.com from Pixabay
