444: Survive from death

After the red flower ball entered Wang Mian's heart, it was like a dried sponge, madly sucking Wang Mian's fresh blood.

Soon, the unconscious Wang Mian's face turned pale, looking like a corpse that had been frozen for tens of thousands of years.

Only that throbbing heart was out of place with his cold body.

"Are you transforming his body?" Kronos asked.

"That's right, the Mortal body is weak. Only after I transform him can he accommodate the power of Law.

There are many ways to transform, and now, this is the most suitable for him."

The ritual of anointing Wang Mian was essentially similar to Zhou Ping's.

Wang Mian had already been injured by the power of Law, so the Huasheng Pool's blood-changing operation was not very suitable for him.

Therefore, Song Zhong could only first use the Ghost Country's Other Shore Flower to transform his body, allowing him to regain vitality, and then accept Kronos's power of Law.

The first step Song Zhong had to do now was to drain the Mortal blood.

As the blood was drained, cracks appeared on Wang Mian's overwhelmed body, like porcelain.

Kronos was alarmed. Song Zhong's operation didn't seem very reliable. Would he kill Wang Mian?

"Uh, Song Zhong, are you sure this can transform his body?" Kronos couldn't help but ask.

Song Zhong grinned, revealing a bright and cheerful smile.

He gave Kronos a thumbs-up, "Don't worry, no problem! After all, such precious Materials, even I wouldn't bear to waste them!"

Kronos's eyes went dark. It was over. He felt even more unsure now.

Although Kronos was worried, he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only carefully watch Song Zhong's every move, while he tightened the pocket watch in his hand. Once he found something wrong, he would immediately cast Time Reversal.

Just as Kronos's nerves were taut, suddenly, Wang Mian's body began to change.

Within the shattered body, tiny red vines began to grow from the heart.

Those vines climbed along Wang Mian's blood vessels and muscles, covering his entire body.

These vines pieced his broken body back together, and then, barbs began to grow on the surface of these vines.

These barbs pierced into Wang Mian's flesh and blood, beginning to devour madly.

From a distance, these vines seemed to regard Wang Mian's body as nutrients.

Kronos looked at Wang Mian, who was gradually turning into white bones, and a curious expression appeared in his eyes.

Although Wang Mian's body was being devoured, his heart was beating more and more powerfully.

Those red vines tightly wrapped around Wang Mian's white bones, actually radiating infinite vitality.

"What a magical method, how did you do it?" Kronos asked.

"This is called 'placing one in a death trap to find life'. In my Ghost Country, death is the beginning of life. Since his current body is almost gone, it's better to let him transform into a creature of my Ghost Country," Song Zhong said.

Sure enough, after Song Zhong finished speaking, the vines wrapped around the skeleton began to grow wildly.

Vines as thin as hair gathered together, beginning to reshape Wang Mian's muscles and blood vessels.

Soon, a skinless blood corpse appeared before Kronos and Song Zhong.

The surrounding red Other Shore Flowers gently swayed, seemingly celebrating Wang Mian's rebirth.

Feeling Wang Mian's weak breathing again, Kronos's hanging heart finally settled.

"Aside from the less elegant appearance, everything else is truly amazing," Kronos said sincerely.

Song Zhong smiled faintly, "My work is done. Next, I'll hand him over to you."

Kronos nodded, then handed the pocket watch in his hand to Song Zhong.

He said seriously, "This pocket watch contains a trace of my Qi. Holding it, you will not lose your way in the Minotaur's Labyrinth."

Song Zhong took the pocket watch and weighed it. The pocket watch was very heavy, and it indeed carried Kronos's Qi.

"So you were prepared all along." Song Zhong put away the pocket watch, "Then next, I won't disturb you and Wang Mian. After he becomes a god, let him go to the battlefield in the northwest direction!"

Kronos nodded. Looking at Song Zhong's disappearing figure, his mood was somewhat heavy. In the face of the torrent of fate, even gods seemed so small.

...

In the endless sea, the Shang Xie Society's ship had already arrived near Crete Island.

Crete Island had long been marked on the Shang Xie Society's nautical chart.

However, the current Crete Island was shrouded in a faint mist.

The ship had already dropped anchor. Memorial stood at the bow, looking at the island, appearing somewhat anxious.

"Why isn't Song Zhong here yet? He wouldn't have clashed with Kronos and started fighting, would he?" Memorial muttered to herself.

"How could a gentle and kind person like me clash with others?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came. Memorial turned around in surprise, and sure enough, she saw a glow appear on the ship.

"Song Zhong, you're back!" Memorial cried out in surprise.

"Mm!" Song Zhong nodded.

But seeing Song Zhong return alone, a trace of worry appeared on Memorial's face.

"Didn't Kronos come with you?" Memorial already had a bad guess in her heart, assuming that Song Zhong and Kronos had fallen out.

"Kronos is probably not doing so well now," Song Zhong said indifferently.

Memorial: ???

Her mind buzzed, as if she had heard a bolt from the blue.

The members of the Shang Xie Society were also stunned.

"My God, did I hear that right just now? Song Zhong killed Kronos?"

"Of course not. Didn't you hear Lord Song Zhong's tone? Lord Song Zhong only seriously injured Kronos and left him to his own devices."

"This... this is too terrifying, isn't it? Lord Song Zhong seems perfectly fine!"

"Of course, Lord Song Zhong's strength is beyond doubt!"

Listening to the gossip of the crowd, Song Zhong gently shook his head, "You people really are... besides fighting, don't you have any other solutions in your heads?"

Song Zhong took out a pocket watch from his embrace and dangled it in front of Memorial's eyes.

Memorial instinctively took a step back and asked cautiously, "Song Zhong, what... what do you want to do? You're not trying to hypnotize me, are you?"

Song Zhong was stunned, then covered his forehead, "Please, my Lord Memorial, you should watch fewer inappropriate works!

This is the key Kronos gave me, the key to enter the Minotaur's Labyrinth."

Memorial breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, "You scared me to death. So it's the key to enter the labyrinth!"

Memorial then leaned closer to Song Zhong, "I say, Song Zhong, last time, the Asgard Human Realm only let you slip in alone. Can you take me with you this time?"
