Chapter 667: Tzeentch's suspicion makes it seem more credible

~7 min read 1,362 words

Tzeentch stared at Zhou Yun, savoring Zhou Yun's words just now.

Belief, suspicion, hesitation, caution—a thousand different emotions rose and changed in his heart.

But the Changer of Ways generally believed what Zhou Yun said.

This was indeed the only reason that could explain why Zhou Yun and the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang would take the risk to forcibly plot for the Malicious Craft domain.

It was precisely because the gods did not think Zhou Yun had a reason to plot for the Malicious Craft domain that they created a great opportunity for Zhou Yun, allowing him to seize the gap and become a god.

The Hua Hua Hua Di Huang hoped that Zhou Yun would ascend to replace him as the protector of humanity and weaken his power, and finally unite with the gods to fight against the Dark King. This also indeed matched Tzeentch's understanding of the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang.

But Tzeentch still carried some vigilance; after all, the Cursed One, the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang, was also a liar who could be on par with him in the galaxy. Although he believed most of it in his heart, Tzeentch still spoke:

"I don't trust your rhetoric." Tzeentch cawed twice, saying to Zhou Yun with suspicion in his tone.

Slaanesh and Khorne, who were still wavering and hesitating, heard this sentence from Tzeentch, and the suspicion originally on their faces actually faded by more than half, even bringing a bit of trust in Zhou Yun.

"Thank you." Zhou Yun showed a sincere smile and said to Tzeentch: "Your suspicion verifies my honesty."

The suspicion, distrust, and cunning on Tzeentch's face froze.

This Changer of Ways had recently been addicted to digesting those areas that were forcibly stuffed into him regarding muscles, fitness, excessive use of drugs, and the infinite pursuit of a strong physique, so much so that he had somewhat forgotten how bad his reputation was in the Warp.

Originally, Slaanesh and Khorne could not find loopholes in Zhou Yun's statement, but they instinctively carried suspicion.

But when Tzeentch began to question Zhou Yun, Slaanesh and Khorne's first reaction was not to follow along and question Zhou Yun, but to suspect whether Tzeentch wanted to play some conspiracy.

Tzeentch's questioning instead made Zhou Yun seem more credible.

They indeed had suspicions about Zhou Yun, but compared to Tzeentch, Zhou Yun seemed so honest and reliable.

After all, Khorne was satisfied with his few clashes with Zhou Yun, and Zhou Yun had indeed suppressed Ynnead to satisfy Slaanesh.

"If I wasn't for completely suppressing the Dark King, why would I become the Master of Malicious Craft?"

"Many of you are familiar with me and know how much I value my identity as a human."

"I now actively take on the faith of humanity, and may even be corroded by the Erosion and Destruction domain. If it weren't for suppressing the Dark King, what else could I be for?"

Zhou Yun said in a sincere tone:

"Could it be that I still want to occupy the Erosion and Destruction domain?"

This sentence made Khorne laugh in a low voice, Slaanesh couldn't help but giggle twice, and Nurgle showed a caring expression.

"That would be too terrible!" Nurgle said with some fear in his tone: "Fortunately, you won't do that."

Accepting the Erosion and Destruction domain was no different from suicide. The current strength of the Malicious Craft domain was far inferior to the Erosion and Destruction domain. If Zhou Yun plotted for the Erosion and Destruction domain, his ending could only be suppressed and burned to death by the Dark King, becoming one of the sacrifices.

The final result could only be the birth of the Dark King, rolling over the entire universe with the two domains of Erosion and Destruction and Malicious Craft.

"I might as well occupy Greed Dissolution and Undetermined Distortion, and I'll be the four gods by myself." Zhou Yun said with a smile, winking at Tzeentch.

Tzeentch remained silent, but he also somewhat trusted Zhou Yun in his heart.

But what he didn't know was that his current state was actually within Zhou Yun's expectations.

The key lay in the Changeling.

The Changeling was captured by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang decades ago.

That young Master of Change was essentially the embodiment of deception, suspicion, and chaos in Tzeentch's domain, symbolizing the most disorderly part of Tzeentch's domain, a side of Tzeentch.

But now Tzeentch had forgotten the Changeling, or rather, the Changeling had forgotten himself.

Zhou Yun had used the secret gadget "Memory Disc" on the Changeling many times. That gadget could take out the memory of any existence as a disc and could modify the memory on it at will.

Zhou Yun used this to make the Changeling forget his own essence, forget his essence as a manifestation of a part of Tzeentch's domain, and instead believe that he was a loyal Imperial Chancellor, the successor of Malcador.

This was also equivalent to indirectly changing Tzeentch's own memory, making the part of Tzeentch's domain representing deception, suspicion, and chaos become silent. Coupled with Tzeentch's recent addiction to digesting those domains that were forcibly stuffed into him, the long and short of it was that Tzeentch's instinct for suspicion had become much weaker.

"If we can curb the Dark King and protect the living beings in the galaxy, I naturally agree without reservation." Nurgle held his belly and said with a gentle smile: "I will change the way I interfere with and influence humanity, and cooperate with you so that you can occupy more of humanity's faith."

Khorne and Slaanesh still carried some hesitation.

"I will ensure the concentration of war." Zhou Yun looked at Khorne and promised in a low voice: "There are still many planets in the galaxy that have not been recovered, and the T'au Empire is also eager to find trouble with us recently."

"And Blood God, are you really satisfied with the Dark King being dragged out? Don't you want to fight with the Dark King?"

"... Okay, I will temporarily reduce the fighting and bloodshed between your Imperium, and instead increase your fighting with other races, fighting with those humans who have betrayed the Imperium, and let wars break out between those planets that are currently unwilling to submit to the Imperium, helping you occupy more of humanity's faith." The Blood God finally nodded and agreed to Zhou Yun's proposal.

"Dark Prince, what are you hesitating about?" Zhou Yun supported his forehead slightly, showing an expression of not understanding why Slaanesh was hesitating: "If human society becomes better, can't your domain spread better?"

Slaanesh lowered their head slightly; they had to admit that what Zhou Yun said was very correct.

The social environment of the Imperium was too high-pressure now, and their influence on humanity was much smaller than that of Nurgle, Khorne, and Tzeentch.

Slaanesh still remembered those daemons they sent to Terra back then, lurking as Terran nobles... those unlucky ones didn't feel any enjoyment, it was all overtime.

"I will let artificial intelligence revive in human society, let automated machines liberate people's time. People with time can naturally have more opportunities to enjoy themselves, which is good for your domain."

"... Okay, I will cooperate with your actions so that your faith can spread." Slaanesh finally nodded, agreeing to Zhou Yun's plan, and guaranteed not to interfere with Zhou Yun's actions.

Finally, the gods looked at Tzeentch in unison.

"Your chaos and changes can be spread in areas not yet recovered by the Imperium, and those domains related to muscles can also be spread in the Imperium. I know you cannot curb the instinct to pursue change, but in order to curb the Dark King, I advise you to consider it carefully."

"After the Dark King is born, there will be no change at all."

Tzeentch's expression changed for a few moments, but he finally agreed to Zhou Yun's request verbally.

Zhou Yun knew that Tzeentch, Slaanesh, and even Khorne would definitely still play tricks and spread influence in the dark; after all, their promises had no binding force. ===== CHAPTER 668 =====
