~8 min read 1,583 words

The Suffering of the World, Known to 【Truth】

Even Cheng Shi couldn't clearly state his feelings about this believer of 【Foolishness】 before him.

He first heard this name from Zhen Yi's mouth, and later, due to the script of 【Fate】, he met the person himself in the trial.

At that time, 【Fate】 was still pushing for fusion with 【Foolishness】, but due to the interference of some improper gods, the plan went bankrupt.

Galiusha in her childhood, under the education of Kein Laoer, was undoubtedly intelligent and precocious. At that time, Cheng Shi could still see sincere emotional fluctuations and a hint of cunning cuteness in the little girl.

And now, that pair of crimson eyes surged with visible irritability and desire for destruction, and the cold gaze perfectly inherited the demeanor of 【Foolishness】, equally despising everyone—no, it should be said, deeply despising this world!

Cheng Shi wasn't sure whether the change in faith at home twisted Galiusha's personality, or if the side effects of the slicing experiment created everything before him... Yes, Cheng Shi certainly guessed that Galiusha joined the slicing experiment; otherwise, she wouldn't have lived to this time.

Judging only by facts, Galiusha had indeed changed, and changed a lot, becoming "terrifying."

She seemed a bit too anti-human. Based on everything seen today, she looked just like a hunter of 【Foolishness】, a hunter of fools, unscrupulously weeding out "ignorance" for this world.

But the biggest problem was that the "ignorance" she weeded out, by current standards, couldn't be counted as ignorance at all, and was even a representative of wisdom and the embodiment of knowledge.

Of course, compared to Galiusha, a believer of 【Foolishness】, these people might still be ignorant, but the strange thing was that countless scholars died under her hands, but ordinary people were rarely affected.

Even considering the opposition of faith, this was completely inconsistent with Cheng Shi's cognition of 【Foolishness】 believers, so he called out to the other party, curiously wanting to know what the other party was thinking.

Of course, at critical moments, he might also directly detain the other party. After all, for the trial, clearing the level was the most important. If he wanted to push the Scholarly Chair Association's experiment, Galiusha might be the most critical material.

"A title is just a code name. No matter what you call me, I am me, and I have never changed."

Galiusha clearly heard the meaning in Cheng Shi's words. She hummed and laughed, the madness at the corners of her mouth stretching another three points.

"But I am no longer the me I was before."

"【Order】 is declining, 【Truth】 is muddying the world, 【War】 is sweeping, and 【Civilization】 collapses at a touch."

"Everyone wants to be the one who destroys civilization. Mr. Prisoner appearing here disguised as that Lord behind the Twilight Church, isn't that what you think too?"

"Oh?" Cheng Shi curled his lips and smiled with a strange expression, "You think I am acting?"

"Isn't it?"

"I still remember the moment I saw you. As noble as His agent, it is impossible to condescend to act as a prisoner in Grandpa Selius's laboratory, so you must be fake. But I am also curious, whose person are you exactly?"

"A killer of 【Order】?"

"Lady Li Deya La did indeed investigate the underground laboratory in Montelani, and I also suspected you were sent by her, but when I realized this, she was already dead, and there was no proof..."

"Hmm, it seems not. You have no reaction to this name."

"Then it is a rebel cleaner of 【Truth】?"

"Grandpa told me all the truth. He said Green and Melina both came with missions. Are you one of them? But since your roots are in the Scholarly Chair Association, why are you helping the Twilight Church flatten the Tower of Reason at this moment?"

"I heard that under the persecution of the Scholarly Chair Association, many scholars turned underground and joined the camp of 【Chaos】. Could it be that you are one of them?"

"If you have mastered the essence of the slicing experiment, why didn't you hand this technology to the Twilight Church?"

"They are just tools for you to stir up the wind and clouds, right?"

"Next, what is Mr. Prisoner going to do?"

"If your goal is to destroy this damn world, then I am very happy to be your partner."

Galiusha laughed, but this smile was full of madness.

Compared to a wise person of 【Foolishness】, she was more like a devout follower of 【Annihilation】 at this moment.

"..." Cheng Shi didn't know how to respond for a while.

Galiusha's guesses were all wrong, of course, but the coincidence was that everything she said had something to do with him, from Li Deya La to Melina to Chenosli. Although these things were completely unrelated, they had a connection, and the node of that connection was himself.

So 【Void】 had long ago woven countless traces in history, and these traces were the established paths he had walked.

He looked at Galiusha before him with a strange expression, and after a moment, suddenly laughed:

"You took a fancy to my means of controlling the Twilight Church?"

"Interesting, you don't seem curious about why I can act as an agent of 【Chaos】."

"Why be curious?"

"【Chaos】 has its own reasons for existence. I just need to know that He is not the end of the universe and cannot become the end of the universe."

"As long as the Twilight Church can continue to cooperate with me, I don't care who is standing behind them."

"If it's an old friend, naturally it's even better."

"You and I can't be called friends, Galiusha. When people from unknown forces are coveting on the side, aren't you afraid?"

Cheng Shi actually quite wanted to use the Death Pleasure Ring to handle the other party, but unfortunately, the Pleasure Ring hadn't collected the other party's fear.

"I only fear that this world cannot be destroyed by my hands."

"..."

Cheng Shi's expression became even stranger. He felt that he was communicating with a pure paranoid.

"Why are you in such a hurry to destroy this world?"

"Relax, I'm just purely curious. As you can see, I control the Twilight Church not to save the Tower of Reason. For you, I am more like a passerby in this world."

"Whether this place is destroyed or not has nothing to do with me. Satisfy my curiosity, and I won't affect any plans you are pushing. How about it?"

Galiusha's cold gaze scanned Cheng Shi for a long time. She even wanted to pull out a long whip to try if she could directly solve this mysterious Lord who was suspected of being a roadblock.

But to complete the grand plan, after weighing it for a long time, she chose to endure.

Because from the arc of the other party's mouth, she couldn't see any chance of winning this conflict.

"Really?"

"Absolutely true, I never lie to people." Cheng Shi's smile was incomparably bright.

Galiusha hesitated for a moment, and then a trace of hatred for the Tower of Reason flashed in her eyes:

"The deception in my childhood was just the cause of me walking on this path, and now, revenge is no longer my entire purpose."

"For so many years, whether on the surface or underground, I have witnessed too much suffering and know deeply that all tragedies are the evil consequences of self-righteous humans playing with wisdom."

"Those scholars wandering underground are right. If you want this world to stop repeating tragedies, you can only curb the foolish act of wisdom being passed down from generation to generation!"

"【Truth】 should not be known to the public, and wisdom should only be mastered by a few people. Only in this way, amidst the cheers of ignorance, can the world be at peace."

"I am willing to bear wisdom and become an outsider who is not understood, just so that the sorrow I have experienced will not happen to others again."

"The suffering of the world is known to 【Truth】, so the first step is to eradicate 【Truth】 for them!"

"This is 【Foolishness】."

"May all life be foolish, and all civilization be ignorant, so that the universe will be harmonious and the world will be at peace."

"..."

So you are actually a peace-loving person?

Hearing this, Cheng Shi realized that he had thought wrong about one thing: influenced by known history, he had always defaulted to Galiusha being a believer of 【Foolishness】, but he had never thought about when this wise person, born in the kingdom of 【Order】 and roaming among many faiths underground, started to turn into the camp of 【Foolishness】.

Hearing it now, it was that batch of 【Foolishness】 sprouts underground that influenced her, transforming an avenger into a wise person.

And she led the will of 【Foolishness】, standing on the ruins of the Tower of Reason, ringing the bell for the beginning of 【Chaos】 for the Continent of Star Fall.

No wonder 【Fate】 had once chosen such a person for him to approach 【Foolishness】. She was really "foolish." It's just that he didn't know if her Benefactor would appreciate this piety?

For a moment, the distracted Cheng Shi looked up at the sky.

And in a place Cheng Shi couldn't see, a pair of eyes covered in chaotic white miasma were looking down at everything in the world, sneering:

"Look, another grand foolish act." ===== CHAPTER 1025 =====
