See Galiusha Again!

Hu Xuan left cleanly and neatly, not even showing a hint of interest in the people coming into the courtyard.

This made Cheng Shi slightly stunned. He had thought that as a friend, the Sage, no matter how cooperative, shouldn't have performed so obediently. He had only made a suggestion, and the other party executed it like a "military order."

This was clearly not Hu Xuan's style; it was more like she also needed some personal time to do something.

But the problem was, in this Tusnat city that was about to collapse, what could she go do?

Regarding his friend, Cheng Shi was only curious, not suspicious. But no matter what Hu Xuan wanted to do, right now he had to finish his own play first.

Thus, he put on that set of church robes again right beside Meng Youfang without any avoidance, and then, under the other party's thoughtful gaze, walked out leisurely.

Meng Youfang didn't follow. He just moved his steps to the window and silently became a bystander, because he felt that what followed should be Cheng Shi's self-introduction.

He firmly believed that a mortal would never be so "understanding" of himself.

Seeing that the other party didn't follow out, Cheng Shi revealed a smile of having everything under control. Others thought Meng Youfang was crazy, but in his eyes, this was clearly an excellent scapegoat.

Whether it was using the power of 【Time】 or involving topics related to Them, Cheng Shi could push everything onto Meng Youfang.

If this person's delusional disorder was as "firm" as he thought, then the other party would be the second Zhen Yi, who would never shirk "responsibility" and might even take the blame proactively.

Of course, these were all backup plans prepared in advance; whether they would be used depended on how many accidents there were in this trial.

Shifting his gaze to the front courtyard, facing the rulers of the Twilight Church, Cheng Shi was completely unafraid. After all, he was the "real" Ultraman, and what's more, the container of 【Chaos】 was now in his hands. It could be said that except for not having the strength of a Messenger, this identity lacked nothing.

So he entered the role in a second. When seeing the three men in front of him, he was already thinking about how to scold the other party first to reduce the pressure of subsequent acting.

But just as the words reached his lips, he saw a somewhat familiar face behind these three men. Coupled with that deep-memory glance at the Tomorrow Truth Tower just now, Cheng Shi immediately recognized that the woman standing behind the three rulers of the Twilight Church was Galiusha!

Not sister... what are you doing here?

I'm here to lecture the Twilight Church; what does it have to do with you, a 【Foolishness】 believer?

Don't tell me you took over the Extreme Desire Brotherhood and then intervened in the Twilight Church. Are you the Qin Shi Huang of the underground, calling the shots everywhere?

Cheng Shi was numb.

The reason he put on a church robe so roughly to play himself was, first, he was indeed confident in his identity, and second, to save a mask.

This time Cheng Shi came in as a believer of 【Fate】. He didn't want to take off his mask at the beginning to use any 【Chaos】 power, so he chose a more direct way, which was to bring out the container of 【Chaos】.

But he didn't expect Galiusha to follow. Shouldn't this crazy woman be leading people to storm the Tomorrow Truth Tower to capture the Scholarly Chair Association alive right now? Why did she come here to join the fun?

Joining the fun was one thing, but what Cheng Shi worried about most was that the other party had already recognized him!

That's right, Galiusha must remember Cheng Shi. Even though Cheng Shi was just a passerby to the Continent of Star Fall, in the final trial that took place in Montelani, Cheng Shi didn't forget that three stupid teammates had left his figure at the scene of little Galiusha's death after a series of operations.

So, would this believer of 【Foolishness】, this crazy avenger, attack him on the spot?

If she really didn't care, he could only switch back to faith and use the unquestionable 【Chaos】 to suppress this chaos.

Fortunately, Galiusha just looked up at Cheng Shi and then "respectfully" lowered her head.

Seeing the other party so calm, Cheng Shi always felt something was wrong, but he had no reason to give up this rare opportunity, so he scolded the three rulers of the Twilight Church in front of him:

"Besides seeing your rigid and stupid piety, I don't see a hint of enlightenment from the Benefactor's will!"

"Disorderly chaos will indeed cause 【Order】 to collapse on its own, but this is the kingdom of 【Truth】, the place where all laws gather. You let the believers run around blindly without any control, only to have these scholars find the laws, clarify the chaos, and regain control of Tusnat."

"I see you haven't had an audience for a long time; has your thinking started to deviate from the Benefactor's will? Hmm?"

A "Hmm?" directly scared the three old men who wanted to verify Cheng Shi's identity into bowing down. They hung their heads and looked at each other from the corners of their eyes, both wanting the other to speak first to verify the identity of the Lord before them, and telling themselves not to open their mouths to find this trouble.

An existence who could wear that Lord's clothes, regardless of whether he was the real Lord, as long as he didn't change the general direction of taking down the Tower of Reason, just pretend he was.

Even if the identity was wrong, wasn't this also a kind of offering to 【Chaos】?

But if one spoke out to question and was slapped in the face, it might not just be the face that was slapped.

So, adhering to the attitude of saying less and making fewer mistakes, the three old men bowed their heads and remained silent.

Cheng Shi clearly guessed their thoughts. He sneered and didn't care. After all, as long as his plan was completed, as for what the Twilight Church thought, let them be.

"You can still stand here, thanks to my Lord's tolerance!"

"But your failure will make me lose face before the temple!"

"The only way to save your dignity now is to do as I say. Execute it meticulously; don't make me summon you again in the present world."

"Otherwise, next time, the only thing that can prove your piety will be your blood."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi threw a handwritten note onto the middle old man's face. The old man trembled all over, unfolded the note to look, and was immediately stunned.

"L... Lord, what is this?"

"What, has approaching 【Truth】 taught you how to question?"

"!!!"

What was the difference between putting on this hat and saying one was an oath-breaker?

The three old men knelt on the ground with a "clatter," crawling on the ground and not daring to move. The ruler in the middle was covered in cold sweat:

"I dare not! Lord, forgive me; Benefactor, forgive me!"

"It is just that we are dull and cannot discern the Lord's true meaning. Please give us more guidance, more guidance."

Cheng Shi snorted coldly and looked at Galiusha, the only one who didn't kneel, with a cold gaze that was exactly like 【Fate】, saying in a deep voice:

"Do you know why I say you failed?"

"The 【Truth】 believers on Tomorrow Truth have already run away!"

"Just when you were enjoying the carnival of chaos, the Scholarly Chair Association was already gone!"

"I cannot deny that you created chaos to attract the Benefactor's gaze and favor, but don't forget the Twilight Church's mission."

"The opportunity is once in a lifetime. Everything you see before you is not what you waited for, but what my Lord exchanged for by holding back the help of 【Civilization】."

"So don't let me down, and don't let Him down."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hearing this, even without proof, the three people believed Cheng Shi's identity seven or eight out of ten, but they still didn't understand the order on the handwritten note, so they bowed again:

"Please give us guidance, Lord."

"Idiots, when you slowed down the speed of the Tower of Reason's collapse, you must make up for it in other aspects."

"Let 【Order】 look down upon this, and under His witness, overthrow the order here, and together with Him, blaspheme it. This is the only way to save your dignity."

"Remember, you are the Twilight Church, not the..."

Cheng Shi just wanted to say Civilization Isolated Tower, but he instantly realized that this time had not yet entered the era of 【Foolishness】, so where was there any Civilization Isolated Tower? So he changed his tone and said:

"Not slaves of 【Civilization】. If cooperation slows down the pace of chaos spreading, then this cooperation is not necessary to continue."

"Get out."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The three rulers of the Twilight Church wished they could crawl out of the courtyard using their hands and feet. Galiusha frowned, looked at Cheng Shi meaningfully, and bowed back, pretending not to know him.

But before she had taken two steps, Cheng Shi spoke again:

"Did I say you could go?"

Galiusha's figure paused, the corners of her mouth curled into a crazy arc. She stood still on the spot, straightened her body, and stared directly at Cheng Shi.

Seeing that the Lord was reprimanding 【Foolishness】 to his face and was unwilling to join forces with 【Foolishness】 again, and even specifically kept Galiusha, the three people of the Twilight Church naturally didn't care about any cooperation friendship and hurried to execute the decree.

And Cheng Shi looked at Galiusha, who no longer had the clear eyes as before, and sighed with emotion:

"Long time no see, little Galiusha."

"Time has drowned everyone, but it seems it has never soaked your clothes."

"When I first saw you, I knew your identity was not simple, but I didn't expect to see you again here."

"So should I continue to call you Lord, or should I call you... Mr. Prisoner?" ===== CHAPTER 1024 =====
