Chapter 965: 563 The Last Whisper

【You have acquired extremely exquisite circus skills, to the extent that you can even be invited to perform by a national royal family, and thus successfully activated the hidden Black Iron-level profession badge "Colorful Clown"】

【Colorful Clown: A special comedian often seen in stages, circuses, carnivals, and other places. They often wear oversized shoes and strange clothes with very strong color conflicts. They usually master certain juggling skills and use their own blunders as program effects to entertain the audience】

【Wearing effect: After years of hard study and careful deliberation, your skills in playing the Colorful Clown have become superb. Not only can you perform good tricks, but even your every move in daily life carries a silly air that makes people laugh and a kind of silliness that makes people unable to help but laugh】

【Advanced route: None】

【Hidden characteristic (no need to wear): No one will guard against a silly person who looks cute. When you perform clown acts, everyone's vigilance toward you will drop significantly】

"Look, I said he was a clown!"

Looking at Li Ang's colorful attire and the big nose that suddenly appeared on his face, the child version of Prince Andre couldn't help but laugh excitedly, then reached out to grab Li Ang's arm, and dragged him toward the open platform of the garden impatiently.

"Quick, quick, quick! You perform that trick just now for my mother too! If you perform well... eh?"

When he said this, seeming to have discovered something strange, the child prince stopped his actions, full of doubt, and asked:

"Where is your magical small knife? Did you hide it?"

Magical small knife?

Hearing the child prince's inquiry, Li Ang, who was checking the new badge, blinked in surprise.

Does the small knife refer to the 【Silver Cutting Dagger】? Wasn't it just held in my hand... holy crap!

Looking at the handful of balloons held in his hand, Li Ang's brain was stunned.

Where is my knife? It was clearly held in my hand just a moment ago!

"It seems your knife is gone."

Just then, a cold and distant voice suddenly rang in Li Ang's ear from the child prince's mouth.

I don't know if he "came back" or if he "never left" in the first place. Prince Andre, who looked sunny, grabbed Li Ang's wrist and nodded with satisfaction in his vigilant expression:

"This looks pleasing to the eye. What a clown should hold are balloons, playing cards, etc. What's the point of holding a knife?"

"..."

Ignoring Prince Andre's words, Li Ang immediately communicated with Young Ha and the three cleaners from the Scorpio Branch, and after discovering that none of them received any response, Li Ang's eyes narrowed.

"All my anomalous objects can no longer be used?"

"Of course."

Prince Andre continued to drag Li Ang toward the platform, while asking calmly:

"You are just a colorful clown in a circus responsible for fun. Why would you have anomalous objects in your hand?"

"..."

"Remember, you are now a clown invited by my father. This is your only identity. All powers and things that do not belong to the clown will not appear on you, and you had better not do anything that violates your identity."

"What if I do?"

"Then there will be no more you."

Facing Li Ang's inquiry, the child Prince Andre said without looking back:

"The canvas of this painting you are staying in is mixed with a small piece of a dead material world, and the scene I depicted with my brush is the rules of this world."

"Just like there can be no real living people in the Dead World, and the dead cannot stay in the world of the living for long, according to the new rules I just drew, in this world I control, you can only be a clown who performs tricks."

"If you really do something that violates the rules, then you will be rejected by the whole world like a living person who accidentally enters the Dead World. Every time you violate it, the rejection will deepen until you are completely erased by the world's will and become a stain on the painting."

In this painting... there is a fragment of a dead world?!

After listening to Prince Andre's answer, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

No wonder the 【Silver Cutting Dagger】 could cut open this painting but couldn't maintain the existence of the "cut." If everything Prince Andre said was true, then this painting was equivalent to a world shrunk countless times.

And the threshold for the 【Silver Cutting Dagger】 to cut open the world and travel freely was the 60-point infection value of the True God level. He, who was 1 point short, could only briefly break open this world but couldn't truly escape from it...

What should I do?

"I said, after refusing me, you will definitely regret it."

After glancing back at Li Ang's expression, Prince Andre said with a cold face:

"First, this painting is drawn for myself, and you are neither my family nor my friend. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want you to appear here."

"Second, regarding why I reminded you not to mess around, it is because I don't want you to mess around and be rejected by the world, becoming a dirty ink dot that dirties my painting."

"..."

"Finally, your undying body is just not being hurt, but this kind of rejection from the world's will does not involve life and death, but a more thorough 'erasure'."

"If you feel unwilling and don't want to be a clown in my painting like this, and want to try if you can resist it with your undying body, then it's up to you. But I will have the guards take you further away in advance, so as not to leave the stain in this garden where the banquet is held."

"Is that so..."

After listening carefully to Andre's warning, looking at the child prince's back jumping up and down, Li Ang was silent for a while, then silently switched to the 【Speak Filth】 badge and asked gently:

"Prince Andre, is that fragment of the dead world what you got from the King-Slaughtering Society at the cost of sacrificing your whole family to ensure the severance of the Kroke royal bloodline?"

"..."

Facing this vicious inquiry that came with a defense-breaking effect, even though Prince Andre's cultivation was quite good, he still couldn't help but tremble all over. The small hand with two parts of baby fat clenched tightly, pinching Li Ang's arm to death.

"Your Highness, you hurt me."

After patting the child prince's hand, Li Ang asked with kindness:

"Are you poked in the pain in your heart by my words, so you are using this childish behavior, wanting to break the skin of a poor clown, to vent your anger of accidentally killing your own father and mother?"

"..."

"It's okay, I forgive you."

After patting the child prince's stiff back, Li Ang said softly with sympathy in his eyes:

"Although you have been an adult for a long time, in my heart, you are still a poor giant baby who cannot face his own mistakes and can only perform mental self-comfort by creating a fake world. How could I bear to blame you?"

"Prince Andre, your life from beginning to end is a meaningless humorous farce. I, the clown drawn by you, just wore a clown suit. As for you... you successfully told me with your life what a real clown is." ===== CHAPTER 966 =====
