Zed was already struggling to use his second-tier power, so facing the Giant Tiger God's gaping maw, it was impossible not to panic.
But Zed still braced himself, looking at the tiger without flinching.
Agamotto spoke: "Don't panic, Hoggoth is just joking. We've made a deal with that Otherworld Demon King who calls himself the most kind and benevolent. You will get a chance to start over, to heal your mental issues."
Oshtur added:
"This is your last chance! If you fail, everything ends!"
Zed was very grateful for everything the Little Demon King had done for him. He didn't know what kind of deal they had made to get these three gods to help him.
Zed shook his head, made up his mind, and said:
"Let's begin!"
The Trinity Gods' eyes simultaneously blazed with dazzling light, engulfing Zed in a world of white.
When the white light dissipated, Zed slowly opened his eyes, surveying the scene before him. The Osborn Building, Spider-Man, a Sea Ray, and more appeared before Zed.
Back to the past? No! Illusions? What is this?
The power of the Trinity Gods far surpassed Zed's own, and he couldn't comprehend the nature of this world.
Zed wandered through this world like a ghost.
The people here were repeating things Zed had experienced before. He even saw himself, hiding in the shadows and observing the situation.
"A new choice?"
A voice echoed from within Zed, and mirror shards emerged from his body, eventually coalescing into Mirror World Zed.
When the mirror shard separated from Zed's body, he felt a sense of relief, as if he had found himself again.
"Ah~~ Much better!"
Zed had originally guessed that his mental problems were caused by indigestion from forcibly devouring another version of himself.
This feeling of lightness now further confirmed that all these problems stemmed from his arrogance and conceit.
Both Zeds were moving their bodies, enjoying the long-lost feeling of ease and freedom.
Mirror World Zed spoke first: "Since you have a chance to start over, you won't use Uncle Ben's death again, will you?"
"I don't know!" Zed answered honestly.
Mirror World Zed was exasperated: ---
"I don't know? Is that your answer? You're the only one who can change this now!"
Mirror World Zed said, pointing at the Old Zed lurking in the shadows.
Zed walked over to Old Zed and just watched him, watched him hesitate, watched him struggle, watched him make up his mind.
Mirror World Zed grabbed Zed by the collar and yelled:
"The Little Demon King and the Vishanti gave you this opportunity, and you don't cherish it? Do you have to be a demon king? You can't even accept me, you can't possibly become Ohma Zi-O. Even now! Are you still going to hold on?"
Zed brushed off Mirror World Zed's hand, turned around without a word, and continued to look at his former self, then said:
"I do have a better solution now, which can get me the Ryuki Ride Watch without using Uncle Ben's death. And the success rate isn't low, but it's my idea, not his."
"Isn't he just your former self? You can change everything just by reaching out!"
Mirror World Zed said, and symbolically reached out to touch Old Zed. But Mirror World Zed's hand passed right through him, unable to touch anything.
Mirror World Zed continued, "Hurry up! This is a world centered around you! Ben's about to die!"
Zed hesitated, but still held firm:
"No! This is just denying myself! It's just escaping reality!"
While the two were at odds, on the verge of arguing, Ben collapsed.
At that moment, Old Zed slowly rose from the shadows and walked towards Ben and Peter, and everything began to repeat itself!
Zed followed behind Old Zed, witnessing history unfold step by step.
Mirror World Zed was already furious, tailing Zed and rambling on, hoping to change Zed's mind.
Plop!
Two blank Ride Watches landed in front of Peter. Old Zed stepped towards the Mirror World.
Zed, looking relieved, turned to Mirror World Zed and said with a smile, "Let's go! Let's relive our battle again!"
"You! You bastard!"
Mirror World Zed couldn't do anything about it and had to follow Zed into the Mirror World as well.
Boom!
". . . As long as I devour you, I will be us!" Old Zed's roar echoed in the Mirror World.
Mirror World Zed still hadn't given up on trying to persuade Zed: "What's the point of just watching? You're just wasting time! You can only repeat the same mistakes!"
But Zed was full of determination at this moment!
"I won't be influenced by you anymore! This is my life!"
At the same time, Tony was in his lab, drinking the awful Chlorophyll Juice and checking the Palladium levels in his blood.
As the Palladium levels increased, the effects of the Chlorophyll became worse and worse. Tony looked at the empty glass with a grim expression, then got up and left the lab.
As soon as Tony returned to the company, Old Morgan pestered him. Old Morgan, putting on an air of seniority, said: "Tony! What are you doing? You're buying back Stark Industries shares like crazy. Aren't you even going to leave us any scraps?"
Tony knew that Old Morgan wasn't a good person from the start and immediately retorted: "Nothing! I just feel that the company hasn't been doing well recently. I think the company needs a wise leader."
"You? Don't be ridiculous! Tony, your scientific talent is indeed the best. But managing such a large company isn't something you can do alone." Old Morgan was so angry he was laughing.
Tony raised his hand and pointed at Pepper who was walking over, saying:
"Not me! It's Pepper!"
"Huh?"
Pepper asked, looking at the two of them with confusion:
"What are you talking about?"
"I said that from now on, Pepper, you are the CEO of Stark Industries. Effective immediately!" Tony clapped his hands exaggeratedly, looking at Old Morgan with a 'come at me bro' expression.
Tony was very satisfied to see Old Morgan's furious expression, and then he pulled Pepper away.
"What exactly are you trying to do, Tony!" Pepper always felt that Tony was a bit strange.
Tony had a flash of inspiration: "I spend most of my time on research and don't have the energy to manage the company, but I don't trust these people with the company. Pepper, I believe in you! This is also your opportunity, a chance to show your talent! You can't refuse!"
Tony's excuse was indeed good. Pepper was thus fooled and became the CEO of Stark Industries.
And after Tony dealt with the company's affairs, he returned to the lab to continue figuring out how to solve his palladium poisoning problem.
The genius scientist Tony Stark hadn't given up!
At least, not yet!
Zed and Mirror World Zed had already arrived at the night Charlie's house was attacked, but Zed still did nothing, letting things run their course.
When the vehicle carrying Charlie, Emma, and Joey disappeared over the horizon, the world created by the Trinity Gods began to slowly decompose and disappear.
Mirror World Zed muttered to himself in despair: "It's over! It's all over! What was the point of me helping you in the first place? Just to watch the tragedy repeat itself?"
Zed smiled indifferently: "The meaning of being a king? I understand it now!"
Mirror World Zed looked at Zed with a dumbfounded expression:
"Heh heh~"
Zed solemnly looked at his other self and said, "I will be sad, I will mourn, I will walk forward while crying and wiping away tears, but I will not regret it!"
Mirror World Zed also realized something and solemnly looked at Zed, signaling him to continue.
Zed spread his arms and declared heroically: "So-called demons are those who live more freely than anyone else, who make themselves the center of the world.
So-called kings are those who live more outstandingly than anyone else, who make everyone fascinated by them.
I will no longer wallow in self-pity! I will no longer be confused and sentimental!
I will bear it! I will carry it! I will decide! I will allow it! I was not born to be a king! But now, I am the king!"
As Zed's words fell, the Ohma power that had been calm within Zed boiled over, bursting forth with dazzling golden light.
At this moment, Zed was Ohma Zi-O!
The Trinity Gods, the Ancient One, Odin, and many other gods all looked at the dazzling golden light.
Sougo (Zi-O) from another universe also cast a look of satisfaction: "See, I knew you could do it!"
Mirror World Zed looked at the dazzling and surging Ohma power on Zed's body, then at his own dimmed hands, shook his head and sighed: "You win! My hypocrisy truly doesn't deserve the title of Ohma Zi-O. I don't have your confidence and domineering spirit. Well then~ you go on and live an amazing life for us!"
After Mirror World Zed finished speaking, he entered the light of the Ohma power with a sense of relief, and merged with it.
The light shone even brighter!
When the light dissipated, Zed had returned to the library of Kamar-Taj, still holding the Book of Vishanti in his hands.
Zed stretched lazily, put the Book of Vishanti back in its original place, turned around, and walked out of the library.
At this moment, the Ancient One also walked over and said,
"It seems you succeeded!"
Zed smiled confidently and brilliantly,
"That's right! Master Ancient One, how long have I been here?"
"Three days!"
Zed looked at the clear sky of Kamar-Taj and slowly said,
"I should leave now! Master Ancient One, help me express my gratitude to the Trinity Gods!"
The Ancient One cautioned,
"Of course! Also, I want to remind you, use the power of time sparingly, especially time reversal.
Every time you reverse time, you will pay a price, and these prices will appear when you least expect it."
Zed waved his hand, signaling that he understood, and then left Kamar-Taj.
