The Great Demon King

Chapter 432 My Hard Drive!
Total darkness.

Total darkness.

Athena's eyes were blank, she had no breathing, no heartbeat, no reaction, her body seemed to be "paused by one button" like the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed in the dark surroundings.

"Ho-"

Athena was like a person recovering from drowning and suffocation, her pupils constricted, she panted heavily, the air flowed through her trachea, and she made a sharp sound, followed by a violent cough.

It took her a long time to catch her breath, and she looked up and looked around.

There was nothing but chaos all around.

It's just that in the sky, like shattering into countless mirror images, each mirror fragment is "playing" an independent scene.

Most of these scenes, Athena has never seen, only a few, she is more familiar with - Mount Olympus, and... the huge and suffocating purple giant.

However, every scene is paused and frozen.

"This... where is this?" Athena murmured.

She noticed that on the mirror fragment closest to her, there was no image playing, only one or two lines of small words:

"World stopped: 184 days 15:17:09."

This line of words is the only thing that can change in this space except her, because that line of timekeeping, like a normal electronic clock, keeps going.

Athena: "???"

I clearly remember that I was put on a scale, I clearly remembered that I was turned into a Medusa, and I was about to be ruined by the sea god Poseidon, why did I suddenly come here again?
What is "The World Stops Time"?
Has time stopped for the entire world?

Am I the first to recover?

Athena didn't know, and she couldn't possibly know.

What is rare is that she is still calm enough and maintains enough curiosity.

She bent down and squatted on the ground, trying to touch the only thing she could touch now—let's call it the ground.

No matter how empty and boundless the surroundings are, no matter how chaotic and boundless they are, what they are stepping on is indeed the solid ground, not the weightlessness and vacuum like in space.

Easily, Athena touched the "land" at her feet.

The touch is very good, warm and thick, just one touch, you feel as if you are being illuminated by the sun.

Athena's face became weird, as if... It seemed that she touched a hand!

A... powerful, generous hand!

"World stop time: 184 days 15:19:00"

"Time recovery... countdown to reflow: 3, 2, 1"

This is the last glimpse of Athena's eyes in this magical space.

She was dragged into the "underground" by the big hand on the "ground" and escaped from this space.

........................

Athena didn't struggle.

Because the moment she was dragged out of that space, she sensed that the one holding her hand was her current master——Qian Song.

Not only that, but she can tell that she is no longer in the circular hell, nor in the lower space under everything.

There is fresh air, wind and sunshine here.

Row upon row of high-rise buildings, pedestrians in the Manhattan neighborhood look relaxed and leisurely.

The scene that seemed to be coming to the end of the entire New York City before disappeared, and everything seemed to have never happened.

The "culprit" who caused the earth to be linked to the world [Under Everything], that is, the Scarlet Witch Wanda, also returned to normal at this moment, and was obediently standing not far away and looking over here.

The one closest to Athena is, of course, her master, that is, Qian Songlao.

Athena wanted to know what happened.

She wasn't curious why Qian Song was able to drag herself out of that magical space, because in her mind, the operation of piercing through the void with bare hands and crossing planes to "fish people" was really not worth it to her boss Mention.

What she was curious about was how the earth, New York, recovered?
She obviously hasn't completed the master's task yet.

"184 days." As if seeing through Athena's doubts, Qian Song took the initiative to say: "From the beginning of October last year, it took me 10 days to locate you and bring you back, Athena."

"Tell me, Athena, what have you been through during this time?"

There is no need for Qian Song to explain again, Athena also guessed that the reason why New York and the earth have returned to calm is because 184 days have passed here, and this period of time is enough for Qian Song to settle everything.

It's like watching a TV series. When the plot reaches a dangerous peak, some people don't dare to watch it and just skip to watch the last episode. Athena feels that she has missed at least one season of the TV series.

But that's not important, Athena took a deep breath, she still remembers the coercion of Qian Song's body in that passage that seemed to crush the universe, so she didn't dare to neglect, and directly shared what she saw and heard , All the retellings were given to Qian Song.

"Mysterious space? The world is suspended?" Qian Song frowned upon hearing this.

Has the world paused?Why didn't I feel it?

No, judging from the situation, it should be the place where Athena was, the time of that world was suspended, and the time of suspension was consistent with the time when Athena lost contact with herself.

In other words, for some reason, Athena fell into a small world where time was suspended. In that small world, you can see all the details of what happened in the Marvel Universe.

Or another way of understanding: for some reason, that world stopped observing the universe where Qian Song lived for a full 184 days.

This reminded Qian Song of the character named "Observer" in Marvel comics.

In the comics, "Observers" are a group of big-headed dolls, they have powerful power but "do nothing"; they know the past, predict the future but never interfere; Winding never stops either.

Could it be that the place Athena entered by mistake is actually the monitoring room of the "observers"?

Qian Song suddenly became interested.

He had just located Athena and dragged her out of that space. Similarly, he still remembered that location.

"Observer? It's okay to go and have a look." Qian Song waved his right hand, and a hole was opened in the void. Although this space-time rift began to heal at a high speed the moment it appeared, it was not as fast as Qian Song.

Before the crack healed, Qian Song spit out a mouthful of purple saliva and entered that space.

That is a new demon technique developed by Qian Song himself, a simplified version of the avatar technique, one mouthful of saliva can transform hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers!

........................

That saliva did not turn into a hundred thousand clones, but barely turned into a little purple person.

As soon as the little purple figure took shape, he was shocked by a 220-volt voltage, and then there was a strong smell of burnt circuits.

Although this voltage is nothing to the avatar.

Then, the purple little man heard a very standard Chinese curse:

"Dig Cao! Why is my host smoking? The solid state drive I just replaced! WDNMD!"
