Chapter 854: Blindly Foolish Fantasies?! Who Really Deceived Whom?

Yue Zhao saw the Finger gradually approaching his own eye.

Though a hint of surprise flickered in his eye, he was not flustered, "You can't kill me!"

"Is that so?"

The moment the words ended, as expected Su Yang's Finger passed straight through his Brain.

Not a drop of blood spurted out.

The scene was extremely strange.

The two's hands each passed through the other's body.

Faces pressed together, from the outside it carried a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

"Voidification?" Su Yang raised his Brow.

"Your guess." Yue Zhao lifted his gaze.

Su Yang gave a faint Laugh and retracted his hand.

Almost at the same moment, Yue Zhao also let go and stood.

The two stood half a meter apart, their eyes meeting, laden with meaning.

"So your current state is not the True Body, but some special form."

"And this form resembles Voidification; both can evade danger."

"But the difference lies in… you can touch solid matter."

"What a rogue Innate Talent!"

"That must be why you don't need to wear an oxygen mask," Su Yang said calmly.

Yue Zhao gave no answer, tilted his head slightly, "Your observation is meticulous; you almost saw right through me."

Su Yang shifted his tone and said, "By the numbers, Ji Huai is likely already dead, all your subordinates have fallen; does being the Boss give you not a single indication?"

Yue Zhao's gaze underwent a subtle shift, his complexion unchanged, "Ji Huai harbored malicious intent and pretended cleverness, already had a hidden agenda; even if you don't kill, I will act personally in the future."

Su Yang said, "So I gave you a great favor, and in return you still owe me a favor."

The confrontation remained sharp, and neither of them continued to strike.

Every word concealed a probe.

"You?" Yue Zhao chuckled, "Just a Zombie, really putting yourself into the master's perspective?"

"Zombies also retain the original master's memories; how much difference does that make?" Su Yang said lightly.

"Fake is always fake; your so‑called self‑awareness is merely a byproduct of jumbled memory stacks," Yue Zhao shook his head.

"The memories may be brief, but isn't the main part still the content of the new world?" Su Yang opened.

"Do you still fantasize about breaking out of order? That's utterly fanciful," Yue Zhao lamented, shaking his head.

"Things are man‑made; what if I achieve it?"

"Even the most absurd vision might retain a sliver of hope, but this particular matter… probability is zero!"

"May I take it that you envy the Free Body I am about to obtain?"

"Freedom?" Yue Zhao's eyes softened slightly.

Those two words seemed to pull him into a chaotic, unordered world.

They also seemed to draw him into a past that no longer existed.

It appeared ordinary, yet it is what countless people spend lifetimes seeking.

He was no exception.

Yue Zhao reached out to pat Su Yang's arm, but his palm halted abruptly as it was about to descend.

He suddenly recalled that the other could not be touched.

He then withdrew his hand, ignoring the Silhouette before him.

His Corner of Eye constantly surveyed the surroundings.

He concluded that the memories had already been tampered with.

Standing before his eyes was indeed Su Yang.

But what he saw was false.

The True Body must be nearby!

"The world you inhabit is under Divine Governance, Divinity's Vision Perception is boundless; no matter how far you flee, you cannot escape the prison," Yue Zhao said.

"But I recall that dying once suffices to evade Vision Perception," Su Yang said.

"That is a rule, even the Divine must obey!" Yue Zhao explained.

"Since the Divine is called Divine, it proves omnipotence; now breaking a so‑called 'rule', don't you find it contradictory?" Su Yang retorted.

"For mortals, Divinity truly is omnipotent," Yue Zhao did not deny.

At this moment, his gaze suddenly fell on Su Yang, studying him closely, "Without rules there is no order; the Divine needs Faith, where does Faith come from?"

"Human?" Su Yang raised his Brow.

"Omnipotent, why still need Faith?" Yue Zhao's eyes flickered, noting Su Yang showed no abnormality, then turned toward the bewildered Liu Pangzi.

Sensing the eagle‑sharp gaze, Liu Pangzi felt a jolt in his heart.

Instinctively he hid behind Su Yang.

Clearly Yue Zhao was its former direct superior, while Su Yang was the enemy it ought to confront.

At this moment, however, it was somewhat dramatic.

The object of its loyalty must kill it.

And the target it must kill must protect it.

Liu Pangzi is indeed a Zombie, but not a brainless ghoul.

Noticing Yue Zhao's slight move, Su Yang gave a smile and said, "I understand."

"What have you understood?" Yue Zhao asked.

"No one, even Divine beings, can possess absolute freedom."

"No matter how capable, one must live under the constraints of rules."

"The so‑called breaking of Shackle is ultimately a pipe‑dream," Su Yang said slowly.

Yue Zhao stared at Su Yang's face and asked, "Having learned the truth, why can you still smile outwardly?"

Su Yang's Smile deepened, "Since Zombies cannot obtain freedom, I naturally have no worries behind me."

Yue Zhao heard that and his Eyebrow tightened.

But the next moment he instantly understood and said in a deep voice, "That one outside is a Zombie, you are the True Body?!"

Su Yang turned his head to look, tilted slightly and met his gaze, "Your guess?"

Yue Zhao's Pupil narrowed a bit, and he immediately hurled a punch at the air!

"Bang!"

Qi Wave swept, rippling in all directions.

Yet this was not over.

Seeing the first strike fail, Yue Zhao changed direction and kept punching.

"Bang bang bang!"

The explosive roar kept filling the ears, and the whole room was surrounded by thunder‑like sounds.

How terrifying the airtight fist technique was?

Su Yang stood at the storm's center, witnessing with his own eyes his seemingly light‑as‑heavy maneuver.

Liu Pangzi dared not speak up, lowered his Brow and nodded, trembling behind Su Yang.

No doubt.

Thanks to Su Yang shielding him from the residual force.

Otherwise the outcome would have been a skeleton with no remains.

This monkey‑trick performance seemed rather comical to Su Yang.

Yue Zhao was unwaveringly convinced about "deception".

From his actions it was clear that this self‑proclaimed clever Old Era Round Table Conference Member was being "deceived" by his own memory.

"So that's it…" Su Yang suddenly laughed with relief.

He now finally understood Sister Yao Ri's intention.

The seemingly extremely perilous Life-and-Death Chessboard.

Was actually a path already arranged.

Yue Zhao wanted to win too much.

So much that Desire blinded his eyes.

Su Yang's Innate Talent indeed requires some people to believe it true in order to activate.

And Yue Zhao himself was unwaveringly convinced by Sister Yao Ri's words.

Thus he fell into a dead end.

This dispute inevitably could not escape the word "deception".

As for whether Sister Yao Ri deceived Yue Zhao.

Or Su Yang deceived Yue Zhao…

Everything no longer mattered.

"Get out!" Yue Zhao roared.

"Boom!"

The accidentally stumbling Xiao Hei was instantly blasted out.

Yue Zhao's eyes reddened; he grabbed the Shovel on the ground and hurled it forward violently.

"Snap!"

A huge crack; Xiao Hei turned to ash and vanished.

Turning into powder covering the ground.
