Chapter 1326: Chapter 1326 – The Oldest God
Seeing that his disguise was no longer effective, Zhang Heng took off the gas mask on his head. By then, he had almost finished shooting the bullets in his gun. He only had one bullet left, so just in case, he put the gun away, he pulled out the [ hidden scabbard ] from his waist.
Seth had been shot four times, one in the head, one in the chest, and two in one arm and one in the thigh.
From the looks of it, he was in a sorry state. Black blood was oozing out of his wounds, and he lay motionless on the ground. However, Zhang Heng still had no intention of letting him go.
If possible, Zhang Heng did not want to risk his life. His original plan was to finish off Seth with a long shot and then drive away. Unfortunately, the previous wave of attacks.., only the first two shots hit Seth’s Vitals, and by the time an realized what was happening, he had already kicked Seth into the convenience store.
Even though Zhang Heng had guessed that the Bullets in the gun would be very powerful against the gods, this was his first time using it, so he had no idea how powerful it was.
Furthermore, Seth had already separated from Thor. Zhang Heng only hesitated for a moment before deciding to chase after him to the convenience store to continue the attack. He knew very well that if he could not finish off Seth even after such a good opportunity.., then it would be even more difficult to kill Seter after that.
An’s expression changed when he saw Zhang Heng. He asked in a deep voice, “Do you know who I am?”
“I am an, the main god of the Sumerians and Akkadian, the king of Anunnaki, the judge of Heaven and Earth,”an said slowly. “I am also the oldest God in existence.”
“Sumerian myth? That is indeed quite early.”Zhang Heng searched through his mind and came to a sudden realization.

An’s words were not boasting. The Two Rivers Basin was the earliest known civilization of mankind. As early as 3500 AD, the Sumerians had established a country and city on this land, and they had even invented writing, in comparison, the Chinese civilization, which was also very early, was only officially established around 1600 AD. As for the Mayan civilization, it was even later, about 600 years later than the Chinese civilization.
In fact, many religious stories now also originated from Sumerian mythology. For example, the Great Flood and Noah’s Ark in the Bible, as well as the parts of the Tower of Babel, were all processed from the original version of Sumerian mythology, therefore, it was not a problem for Ann to say that she was the oldest God in existence. As for the ancient sacrifices that were carved on the stone walls earlier, they were long gone because there were no words left to pass down to the next generation.
“I am also the current presiding judge of the organizing committee.”Ann slowly gave up her last job, and her expression became serious. “Do you know what you are doing?”
“Killing a person who should have died a long time ago,”Zhang Heng replied.
“He has indeed done a lot of bad things, but no matter what, Seth is one of the nine pillar gods of Egypt. Naturally, the gods should be the ones to handle the matters of the gods. This is also one of the responsibilities of the organizing committee.”
/ please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.
“If the organizing committee had really performed their duties properly, there wouldn’t be a need for me to make a move today,”Zhang Heng said calmly.
An couldn’t help but fall silent. However, he was, after all, the presiding judge. He quickly came back to his senses and shook his head, “Since Seth has already fallen into my hands, I will give him the punishment he deserves. No matter what, it’s impossible for a mortal to carry out a lynching.”

“Then it looks like we can’t come to an agreement today.”Zhang Heng wasn’t surprised by this result. Although the other party was sent by the organizing committee to capture Seth, it was clear that they wanted a living Seth, not a dead Seth, especially since the organizing committee wanted to pry the location of the phone God out of Seth.
An nodded. He had already noticed the abnormality of the pistol in Zhang Heng’s hand. No matter whether it was Seth or his guards, based on their physique, they should not have been so severely injured even if they had been shot.
Therefore, after settling down, he said to Zhang Heng, “Show Me the gun in your hand.”
His expression was natural as he said this, as if this was something that was supposed to happen. In fact, as he said this.., a golden light flashed in his eyes as he looked at Zhang Heng.
Their eyes met. Even with Zhang Heng’s willpower, he couldn’t help but feel the urge to pass the gun in his hand to the other party. It was as if this was the right thing to do.
However, Zhang Heng’s mental training during this period of time was not in vain. Especially when he silently recited the mantra of Xiao Shan’s flowing heart. When he clearly saw his true heart, he instantly came to his senses.
An’s eyes flashed with a strange light. It was not that he had never seen a person who could resist his own mental attack, but it was indeed beyond his expectations that the other party could escape so quickly.
However, an didn’t mind. He looked at the knife in Zhang Heng’s hand and said, “Then let me experience your knife skills.”After saying that, he grabbed the street lamp at the side, he actually pulled the street lamp out from the ground.
To be honest, Zhang Heng didn’t want to fight the oldest god in front of him. The Sumerian god system’s popularity was average, far less than the Nordic god system. However, an was the main god of the Sumerian god system, so he wouldn’t be easy to deal with.
Most importantly, even if Zhang Heng won this fight, it would be meaningless. He was only sent by ISIS to kill Seth. He had no intention to tangle with others, nor did he want the organizing committee to focus on him.
However, looking at the current situation, Zhang Heng knew that if he could not defeat or force the square-faced man to retreat, he would not be able to finish off Seth.
Therefore, Zhang Heng could only raise his blade. “Please advise me.”
An smiled and without further ado, he swung the street lamp at the young man opposite him.
However, the result was a little different from what he had expected.
Zhang Heng didn’t retreat or Dodge the lightning bolt. He didn’t do anything else. It was only when the lamp post was about to hit his head that he finally swung the [ hidden scabbard ] in his hand, however, the next moment, the lamp post was cut into two!
The smile on an’s face froze with the strike.
He did not expect the knife in Zhang Heng’s hand to be so strong that it could even cut through a street lamp. He did not expect the speed of Zhang Heng’s strike to be so fast. When he saw Zhang Heng firing a few shots, he initially thought that Zhang Heng was good at Spearmanship, however, from the looks of it, this young man’s blade technique seemed to be even better.
An realized that he had probably met a powerful enemy tonight, so he did not dare to be careless anymore. He stretched out his hand and summoned his scepter from the truck.

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.

Wet world wonderland.
A young girl of 16 years dies by drowning, and is reincarnated as a living Puddle of Water.Through many fantastical fun filled and wacky adventures our Protagonist will lead a better life than her last.Thank you for your time. Something I want to add, is that this story is written in first person, and I plan to carry on with it for a LONG time.-(Maybe thousands of chapters in size, until the story literally runs out of any potential to keep going.) So yes, there's still a lot of mystery and build up I have planned for future adventures. Wet World Wonderland is a story primarily concerned with the depth and complexity of its world and characters. So forgive me if something seems off, or isn't made immediately clear. I would love to talk, but try and consider that I might have something planned.(Not that you can't still criticize, of course. If you've got an opinion on something, I'd love to hear it.) If you plan on rating WWW, please read until chapter 20. WWW isn't the kind of story you can start judging from the first five chapters. Although, I admit I'm not so sure if 20 chapters in is good enough to judge it either, but I would still advise reading to at least that point. Also, if you have a problem with something in the story, please PM me, and I would love to talk about it. As of 1/19/2021 I have just added WWW's (Wet World Wonderland's) New Cover-Art. I know it's a bit weird, and probably sudden. And with all things considered, it may never make sense. But canonically with lore and info that has, or will be revealed in coming chapters, you might be able to put something together. Anyways, I hope you like it. Also, new symbol, at the top left of the image, hope you all like that too.As of 5/16/2022 the revised cover art for WWW has been uploaded, same as before with the first cover art. I hope you like it. Cover Art Credit goes to Itreallyisyaboi. They're on Instragram.

Rotten Magic (Runic Expansion Book 1)

Their immediate wealth crumbled as they suffered for their ignorance and cruelty, becoming cursed to be Flesh Hoarders--ones who must live by eating the flesh and magic of another individual. Once they were rejected by their brother and sister cities of their country of Vaikoln, they were excluded from the rest, hidden in the void--never to interact with the world again. Suddenly, they show in the progressing city of Yulin-dai to remind the world that they will never be forgotten.

Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!
