48 Hours a Day

A four-wheeled chariot sped through the night sky and finally landed on the tarmac in front of a villa.

The villa alone occupied an area of more than 1,000 square meters. In addition, it had a courtyard filled with all kinds of expensive flowers, a tarmac, a swimming pool, and an underground garage, there was also a private dock not far away.

A woman in pajamas was drinking red wine in a private bar upstairs. The next moment, she saw her door being pushed open. The moment she saw the person, her face was full of shock and confusion.

"Sorry to disturb your rest, Pluto. It's just that the situation is urgent. We want to borrow your place for a while. The main reason is that it's difficult for us to find a bigger and undisturbed place than yours,"the goddess of the night said.

The woman named Pluto tightened the hem of her pajamas. Of course, she was not happy to be so rashly intruded, but since things had come to this, she could only force a smile on her face, especially when she saw the few people following behind the evernight goddess, she nodded and said, "Of course, but I wonder what you want to do by lending me this small place?"

"Gather everyone."

"Gather everyone? Why? Are you guys going to have a party here?"

"No, we're here to discuss how to survive and save the world,"Anubis said.

"Save the world? Uh, are you guys filming the Avenger Alliance 5? Then I say that your lineup is really quite good."

"No, we're serious,"the god of electricity who came in later said.

"Oh,"a disgusted expression appeared on Pluto's face. "A new God? What, is he your captive?"

"No, he is our companion,"Ares said. "We need to unite all the forces that can be united."

"Do what?"Pluto was shocked. Ares had always been the main militant faction of the Old Gods. He had always advocated that this war was inevitable even before the start of the war. Since that was the case, it was better to fight early than late, his attitude towards the new God had always been unyielding. He did not believe that the words 'companion'would be associated with those fellows of the new God. "..."

However, before the others could answer, they heard a long and deep bugle call. There were a total of four bugle calls, two long ones and two short ones. The bugle call was filled with the tension and depression before the war.

"Heimdall? He's here too?"Pluto was completely dumbfounded. "He even blew his bugle call on the roof of my building? is he going to call the Nordic gods over?"

"It's not just the Norse gods. Anubis and I will also inform the Greek and Egyptian gods separately,"Ares said with a serious expression.

"I have already informed the new gods when I was in the carriage,"the god of electricity added.

"Are you planning to call everyone here, but what about the enemy? Wait,"Pluto said as if he had thought of something, "Didn't you go to deal with the human named Zhang Heng Tonight? What Happened?"

"He's already dead,"Anubis said.

"So, this means that our troubles have disappeared, right?"Pluto swept his gaze across the faces of the people present, but he didn't see any signs of relief. On the contrary, everyone's expressions were solemn, this caused Pluto to to become nervous.

"We did not kill him."

"Then who did? The other humans?"

"No, the Master of Lalaiya has completed the god's descent and completely seized that body. His soul has also been crushed."

Pluto was stunned. The wine cup in his hand slipped from between his fingers and fell onto the carpet.

"We need to gather the others immediately!"Ares repeated, "While that fellow has just escaped, if we work together, there is still a chance of victory. He will feed on fear. The longer we drag this out, the stronger his power will become!"

"Everyone,"the goddess of the night said in a sorrowful tone, "The survival of the world will be on our shoulders."

..

Just as Heimdall and the others began to gather the gods, a combat meeting was already underway in the plastic mold processing factory 1,000 kilometers away from the villa.

There were not many people in the meeting. There were less than 20 people. The person in charge of the meeting was a woman who looked like a secretary. She adjusted her glasses and spoke calmly.

"Let me first introduce the current situation to everyone. The people we sent out yesterday to join the hunting party have all been wiped out. Moreover, I've asked the other guilds that went with us. They have also lost contact with their people. The only news from the players is that the commander of silver wing sent it out at 00:49 pm. Everyone can listen to it for yourselves."

After the secretary-like woman finished speaking, she pressed the play button of a tape recorder beside her.

The recording was of a phone call. For some reason, the other person paused for two seconds before saying in a hoarse voice, "Do not send any more reinforcements. I repeat, do not send any more reinforcements! He's Here!"

"Who's Here?"The female voice on the other end of the phone asked.

However, the person on the other end of the line did not speak anymore. What followed was the sound of the satellite phone falling to the ground. There were also dense gunshots and roars. It was as if the person who was making the call was caught in a battle. However, not long after that.., there was another scream.

After that, the tent finally quieted down. However, there were still some gunshots and shouts outside the tent.

Everyone in the meeting room listened very seriously. Only after the recording ended did someone ask, "Where are our people? Have we received any information?"

Although the secretary-like woman had previously said that this was the only information the players had received, the people in the meeting room still seemed to have sufficient confidence in their own people.

The person who looked like a secretary also nodded and said, "Of course. Our people sent back a, no, to be exact, half a sentence. We have reason to believe that his mental state was very bad when he sent back this sentence, just like the people in those stories. However, our previous scientific training had produced an effect. He endured the mental discomfort and sent this sentence to us.

"I helped you regroup — the operation failed, (lack of subject) to leave Laraya's prison.

"Combined with the previous satellite phone call and the fact that the search team was completely annihilated and suffered a serious mental attack, I'm afraid that the worst has already happened. The monster has already broken free from the shackles of the stars and left the underwater prison."

Although the expression on the secretary-like woman's face did not change much when she said this, her slightly trembling right index finger still betrayed her true feelings, the meeting room was similarly deathly silent.

The person who asked the question earlier wanted to say something, but opened her mouth but ultimately did not say it. Just as the uneasiness began to spread in the meeting room, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
