Chapter 1728: I Look at His Face

Hiss… this feeling?!!!

Seeming to vaguely perceive something, the expression behind the Thrush mask suddenly changed, and he stood up from his seat with a thud, startling the man in the White Snake mask opposite him.

"What are you doing?"

Reaching out to protect the chessboard that had been knocked askew on the table, the man in the White Snake mask said with dissatisfaction:

"Don't cheat, hurry up and roll the dice! I only have three pieces left to finish, you…"

Finish my ass!

Hearing the words of the man in the White Snake mask, the Thrush, who had come to his senses, reached out and messed up the chessboard, shouting with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot:

"What game are you still playing? Something happened!!!"

"Oh."

Facing the Thrush's shouting, the man in the White Snake mask glanced at him, then asked with a somewhat lazy expression:

"Something that can make you react suddenly should be about the Food God again… How is it this time? Did he unify the Abyss? Or did he save the Nine Great Angels? Or did he win against the two Lords, the Blue King and the Red King?"

"Worse than that! At least twice as bad… No! Ten times worse!!!"

Feeling the massive power surging within his body, as well as the majestic truth feeding back from the "depths" of the world, the Thrush roared with a livid face:

"I've become stronger! I've become stronger again!"

"?"

Are you sick?

Looking at the Thrush, who had suddenly started acting crazy halfway through the game, the man in the White Snake mask rolled his eyes at him, then curled his lips with some jealousy:

"Fine, you're amazing… Anyway, our time is locked on the same day, and it's impossible for there to be any changes, so it's only you who can still… Wait!"

After replying absent-mindedly, the man in the White Snake mask suddenly reacted, his eyes widening abruptly.

"The strength you mentioned… is it your own strength that has increased? Or is it the 'Truth of the World' you comprehended that has strengthened, driving you to become stronger as well?!"

"Does that even need asking? Isn't my reaction obvious enough?!"

"Hiss…"

After hearing the Thrush's answer, the man in the White Snake mask couldn't help but gasp, then said with shock in his eyes:

"What exactly is the situation? How much has the Truth of the World you mastered strengthened?"

"How much has it strengthened… Let me put it this way!"

After struggling to organize his language, the Thrush spoke with trembling lips:

"Before I ascended to Pillar God, the two authorities I mastered were 【Calamity】 and 【Chaos】. After coming into contact with the Food God, I discovered that he was simply the source of chaos and disaster, and I instinctively wanted to stay away from him. So after I ascended to Pillar God, I mastered the truth of 【Ang-Disaster Avoidance】…"

"I know this, get to the point!"

"This is the point!"

Glaring at the White Snake who was urging him, the Thrush continued to explain:

"Just as I said, my truth exists in reliance on 【Ang-Disaster】. So if Ang-Disaster is a flood, then the 【Ang-Disaster Avoidance】 I mastered is a small boat that can ensure safety in the flood.

And among the three items—flood, boat, and the safety brought by the 'boat'—only the 【Ang-Disaster Avoidance】 that ensures safety remains unchanged. This means that the stronger and fiercer the flood, the more my small boat will grow accordingly, becoming larger and sturdier."

"But just now…"

"Your power suddenly increased, and the small boat became a big boat?"

"It directly became an island…"

"?!!!"

"And not just an ordinary island, but the kind… the kind that is a huge chunk above sea level, the kind of super-large island that you can only reach by flying with wings!"

After gesturing with a few quite abstract movements to describe his feelings as much as possible, the Thrush said with a pale face:

"In terms of strength alone, I'm afraid I'm already on par with Lord Red King… You also know that the Truth of the World will absolutely not make a mistake. Since it is strengthening me so crazily, then something major must have happened on Heaven Mountain, and 【Ang-Disaster】 has received an even more terrifying reinforcement!"

"…"

"…"

"So…"

After being silent with the Thrush for a while, the man in the White Snake mask said with complex eyes:

"Compared to when he killed us, the Food God has become stronger again?"

"It could also be that he was stimulated by something."

The Thrush gestured uneasily:

"You don't understand 【Ang-Disaster】. This disaster is different from ordinary disasters. How much disaster the Food God can cause is not necessarily linked to his strength; it should be more linked to his thoughts and wishes.

If I had to say, his flood was relatively conservative before, maybe he only wanted to flood a small town and then withdraw. But after being provoked, he might have changed his mind in a fit of anger, and now he is prepared to directly flood a country, or even sweep across a continent."

"I think I understand…"

Through the Thrush's quite abstract description, barely understanding his feelings, the man in the White Snake mask turned his head to look at the main hall of 【Yesterday's Abode】…

On the table where everyone used to hold meetings, a dense star map was floating, and the two star points overlapping in black and white at the center of the star map were Heaven Mountain and the Hundred Prisons of the Abyss.

"You mean, the two Lords, the Blue King and the Red King, probably did something on Heaven Mountain that completely enraged the Food God?"

"That has to be it…"

Following the White Snake's gaze and looking at the star map in the main hall, the Thrush said with a livid face:

"Although I still don't know what happened, I once…"

"Alright, stop thinking about it, let's continue the game."

"???"

"Why are you looking at me?"

Rolling his eyes at the Thrush, who was full of astonishment, the White Snake leaned back and rested against the back of the chair, saying with an indifferent expression:

"I was already killed by the Food God long ago, and now only a residue left in the past remains. No matter how big the Ang-Disaster gets, what does it have to do with a piece of trash like me?"

"…"

"Also, I advise you not to worry blindly."

Slowly arranging the chess pieces that had been knocked askew earlier, the man in the White Snake mask, who had long since resigned himself to his fate, reminded him with a Buddhist-like attitude while handing over the dice:

"No matter what happened over there on Heaven Mountain, it most likely has something to do with the two Lords, the Blue King and the Red King. It's useless for you to be suspicious here. Why not just ask when they return?"

That's true…

After hearing the reminder from the man in the White Snake mask, the Thrush's tense expression relaxed slightly. He took the dice, threw them onto the chessboard, and moved two steps according to the points… but he still couldn't hold back, saying with a troubled mind:

"Mainly, this truth of mine is not necessarily effective. If the Food God gets close and tears my truth apart…"

"They're back."

"Ah?"

Hearing this, the Thrush was slightly startled, then turned his head to look at the main hall and found that the star map on the table had lit up slightly.

Immediately after, cyan and red light points flickered several times in the star point representing Heaven Mountain, then the light shone brightly, completely covering the floating star map on the table and changing it into the figures of the Blue and Red Kings. And the moment the projection of the Blue and Red Kings appeared, the Thrush's exclamation sounded immediately.

"Holy shit!!!"

"What's the matter?"

Looking at the Thrush, who was full of horror in front of him, the man in the White Snake mask couldn't help but lean over, asking in a low voice with curiosity in his eyes:

"Why are you staring at Lord Blue King's face? Is there something on his face?"

"On his face…"

Reaching out to rub his eyes vigorously, confirming that he was not hallucinating, and looking at the Cicada of All Things in the main hall, whose face was full of fierce "black energy" and whose features were even obscured, the Thrush lowered his voice and hissed with fear:

"His face is written full of death!!!"
