[Congratulations, all five avatars have been killed. Loki’s strength has been further reduced by 10%. Additional 200 points have been obtained. Head to the character interface to view relevant information...]
After Zhang Heng beheaded the white mare, he received two more system notifications.
The first was expected. Loki’s strength had been reduced by half. The second was a hidden reward. After he killed the last avatar, the 200 points would be secondary. At the same time, Loki’s strength had been reduced by another 10%, so, in other words, Loki only had 40% of his strength left.
He had become unprecedentedly weak.
On the other hand, Zhang Heng’s body had been affected by the radiation he had absorbed over the past few days, but his condition was not serious at the moment. He still maintained about 90% of his combat strength, and since his Shadow Wings had been used against the white mare, it would take 24 hours to be used again. In other words, there was no hope for him in the battle after that.
Other than that, Zhang Heng was in fair physical and mental condition. Even though he had gone through a few battles earlier, he wasn’t injured. Having only used up some of his energy, it took him two hours to recover, and he also replenished himself with food and water.
After he was fully prepared, Zhang Heng began his final battle journey.
Less than three hours were left in the 12-hour countdown, but Zhang Heng did not go to the medical center to meet up with the doctor, Master Kui, and the others.
Because the three of them were not in good health and Master Kui had been shot and injured, he could do little to help. In addition, this dungeon was an undeserved disaster for them, and since he inadvertently caught up in Loki’s arrangements for Zhang Heng, he did not plan to ask them to join the final battle.
Alone, he drove a newly-found car on the quiet roads of Pripyat.
The system had modified the main mission to restrict Loki’s movements to the city. In other words, the god of lies and pranks could not leave Pripyat, and after the 12-hour countdown ended, Loki would be forced to stay in a building in the city.
However, Zhang Heng did not want to wait until the 12-hour period was over before looking for Loki. This gave Loki time to choose a location for the final battle and then make arrangements.
Although the name of the god of lies and pranks had always been well-known, and when Mouse and the others heard that the god behind this dungeon was Loki, their expressions changed drastically. In reality, Loki’s battle record was as deceiving as his own.
Sure, he could gain an advantage when facing most of his enemies; there was almost no positive description of Loki’s battles in the entire Nordic mythology.
When facing a powerful opponent, Loki usually lied to deceive the opponent or use tricks to defeat the target. There was only one enemy who indeed died at his hands, and that was his brother, who bore a famous name, Heimdall.
Those who had watched Marvel’s “Thor” series should have some impression of this name. Heimdall was the guard of the Rainbow Bridge, the God of Dawn, Son of the Nine Mothers, and the Guardian of the Gods. His gaze could pierce through the darkness, and whether day or night, he could see everything within 300 miles.
Zhang Heng even suspected that the [Filter Lens] in his hand was the work of Heimdall. Other than that, Heimdall could also hear the sound of vegetation and hair growing. Completely tireless, and with him guarding the Rainbow Bridge, he would immediately blow his horn and summon the gods once he found traces of giants.
Heimdall was Loki’s mortal enemy. The two had already formed a grudge before the twilight of the gods, and they had perished together during the twilight of the gods. It seemed that Loki’s combat strength was on the same level as Heimdall, the guardian of the gods.
But people who knew the process of the battle didn’t think so. Not long after the two exchanged blows, Heimdall seized an opening and chopped off Loki’s head, but it unexpectedly bounced back up after falling to the ground. He bit the dagger and stabbed Heimdall in the stomach before both of them died.
Although the ending was the same, Loki still relied on his little tricks and risked his life to kill Heimdall.
Thus, Zhang Heng estimated that Loki’s powers shouldn’t be too strong in Nordic mythology. He should be in the lower echelon. In addition, the system had cut the god’s strength by 60%, so Zhang Heng wasn’t worried about Loki confronting him head-on. On the contrary, he really needed to be wary of the small movements behind Loki’s back.
If it was not a last resort, Zhang Heng did not want to wait until 12 hours had passed before fighting Loki. This was his plan from the beginning. Therefore, as soon as he recovered his strength, he began to search for Loki’s whereabouts.
Zhang Heng searched in the direction where Loki had escaped for the last time. Fortunately, although Pripyat was a city recognized by Ukraine, it only had 50,000 people, and it wasn’t too large. In addition, after the evacuation, the place was basically deserted, making it more convenient for Zhang Heng to search.
However, Zhang Heng still didn’t expect to find Loki in less than half an hour.
The latter wasn’t hiding at all. He brought a sofa out of nowhere and sat in the middle of the road as though waiting for Zhang Heng to arrive.
Zhang Heng did not stand on ceremony. He stepped on the accelerator and sent the sofa flying. Unfortunately, Loki, who was on the sofa, snapped his fingers before he was hit and appeared on the other side of the road, his face filled with helplessness.
Zhang Heng also stepped on the brake, but he did not turn off the engine. Instead, he shifted into park, pushed open the car door, and got out.
“Congratulations, player. After a not-so-hard battle, you have cleared all the minions and the five mini-bosses of this dungeon. You have come before the great god of lies and pranks, Loki. Tremble, mortal, for points have been increased by 100,000. You can check the relevant information on the character panel...”
Loki imitated the voice of the system, “Isn’t that how you put it? You like this game, don’t you, Zhang Heng? It was these rounds that turned you into the current you. Oh, by the way, I forgot to congratulate you on winning first place in the proxy war dungeon.. I hope it’s not too late to send my blessings.”
