"Ding. Mythic-level mission—[Apokolips Invasion]—completed. Mission completion: Perfect. Reward obtained: Dark Eye!"
The system notification rang by his ear, and Zhang Yang began checking his mission reward.
[Dark Eye]: A special item. After use, it can fuse with the heart, granting endless magical power. When the host is injured, they may choose to use magical power to restore themselves. When subjected to a fatal attack, it releases Absolute Space to protect the host.
"Damn..."
Zhang Yang was quite satisfied as he read the Dark Eye's description.
He did not care much about endless magical power, since he already had that. But automatically releasing Absolute Space when faced with a fatal attack... the word "absolute" sparked endless fantasies in Zhang Yang's mind.
And that last effect, using magical power to repair his body... he absolutely loved that.
At present, his offensive power definitely ranked him among the strongest in the universe, but his defenses—especially his physical defenses—had always been his weak point.
For now, it was fine. None of the enemies he had encountered could survive his attacks.
That weakness had not been exposed.
But what if someone could withstand his attacks?
He did not even dare imagine the consequences.
Although he possessed the Dimension Heart and could be reborn within dimensions under his control, death... whoever liked experiencing that was welcome to it. He certainly did not.
Having received his reward, Zhang Yang was in high spirits. He glanced around and decided to spare the Parademons that had lost contact with their mothership and were fleeing in every direction.
Slowly descending to the ground, Zhang Yang patted Hermes, whose jaw looked as though it had been dislocated. "Are you okay?"
"Ah-ba ah-ba ah-ba..."
Hermes's jaw might really have been dislocated. His mouth kept moving, but he could not get out a single word.
Only after he placed a hand on his jaw and snapped it back into place did he excitedly grab Zhang Yang's hand. "Ah-ba ah-ba... uh, sorry. I was too excited."
"You actually repelled Darkseid's invasion?"
"That was Darkseid!!!"
"And that elemental planet—did you create it?"
"That final energy cannon was way too powerful!"
"Blah blah blah..."
"..."
Once he could speak again, Hermes became like a tiny loudspeaker, babbling nonstop and giving Zhang Yang no chance to say a word.
With black lines practically covering his face, Zhang Yang could not help sealing Hermes's mouth with magical power. Watching the other man's mouth open and close without producing a sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For the next ten minutes, Hermes stared at Zhang Yang with pitiful, watery eyes, nearly making him throw up.
Just imagine it: a grown man looking at you with moist, pathetic eyes. Forget ten minutes—could you even last five?
Zhang Yang certainly could not, so he warned him, "When I let you talk, don't spout so much nonsense. Understand?"
Hermes nodded frantically. The moment he felt his voice return, he was about to speak again when he caught Zhang Yang's warning look.
In the end, he shut his mouth.
"Is there anywhere to rest?"
Zhang Yang checked the Dimension Heart. Both the azure and green points of light were extremely dim and needed some time to cool down.
"Yes. You could go to Mount Olympus. I am sure His Majesty Zeus would be delighted to receive you."
Hermes blurted it out without thinking, then cautiously glanced at Zhang Yang's expression.
"Fine."
Zhang Yang nodded. It made no difference where he went right now. He simply needed somewhere to rest and recover some Spacetime Force.
Following Hermes, the two made their way to the Little Broken Planet (Earth) Alliance's base and met the leaders of the various races.
"You must be the hero who shattered Darkseid's invasion plan!"
Zeus, dressed in nothing but a white short-sleeved shirt, saw Zhang Yang and rushed over as if he had spotted his idol. He grabbed Zhang Yang's hand without the slightest air of a god-king. "My idol!!! You're my idol!"
"This guy..."
Zhang Yang was completely baffled by the scene. Zeus? Weren't all the records clear that he was an extremely arrogant god who looked down on mortals?
Why was he so enthusiastic now?
Clearly, Zeus's behavior had caught everyone by surprise.
Hermes was also dumbfounded. He had never expected his god-king to act like this.
"Zeus, as the king of a divine pantheon, I am ashamed to stand beside you!"
Odin, also a god-king, could not bear to watch any longer. He yanked Zeus aside and said sternly, "Remember your identity!"
"You are the King of Olympus!"
After seeing Zeus realize his mistake and lower his head in shame, Odin turned around and grabbed Zhang Yang's hand. "Hero! I have finally met you!"
"You..."
Zeus was so furious he nearly vomited blood. Pointing at that shameless old bastard Odin, he could not say a word, his body trembling nonstop.
"Enough."
The Amazons' queen could not stand it anymore. The Amazons of this era were still extremely powerful, and she did not show much respect toward the two god-kings. She directly dragged the embarrassing Odin away.
"Strong one, do you want to become the king of my Amazons?"
But... the first thing the Amazons' queen said after dragging Odin away made everyone's eyes widen.
Explosive!
After all, this generation's Amazons queen was no simple figure. Not only was her strength barely inferior to Zeus and Odin's, but her beauty was also unmatched across the heavens and myriad worlds.
Even Aphrodite, hailed as the most beautiful woman in the two divine pantheons, was at most her equal.
Zeus had always wanted to marry this Amazons queen, but she had repeatedly rejected him. In the end, he could only settle for second best and win the heart of another legendary Amazons warrior.
"I..."
Zhang Yang had barely begun to speak when he realized that the Amazons' queen had somehow appeared behind him. Her healthy wheat-colored right hand was already raised high.
Clearly, this Amazons queen was preparing to carry out an Amazons tradition.
"Stop!"
Zhang Yang decisively released the magical power within him, intimidating everyone present. "Right now, I only need somewhere to rest. Anywhere is fine."
"And can you, as a woman, stop trying to get handsy all the time?"
Zhang Yang's tone was full of indignation. "You'll set a bad example for children, you know?"
"Set a bad example... for children?"
The Amazons queen was frozen in place by his magical power. Confusion flashed through her beautiful eyes. "What children?"
"You want children?"
"Come back with me!"
"..."
Speechless.
Completely speechless.
Zhang Yang felt as though everyone here had gone completely off the rails.
The god-kings did not act like god-kings at all. They were more like simps.
The queen did not act like a queen either. She looked more like a bandit.
Were these really the leaders of the various races in the Little Broken Planet (Earth) Alliance?
Did a Little Broken Planet like this... really need to exist?
Destroy it!
He was tired!
