Chapter 1050
The Standoff Outside the Experiment
Ultimate invincible super-large cup! Almost opened three chapters, might as well just do two chapters to be lazy.
"Well cursed!"
Just as Wei Zhi's face became more and more twisted, Galiusha was amused.
Somehow, she heard the purest flavor of 【Foolishness】 in Cheng Shi's tone, which made her appreciate Cheng Shi even more.
"Mr. Prisoner, the conditions I mentioned before are still valid. There can still be room for an outsider in the relationship between me and Pelaya.
Of course, after merging into it, the outsider becomes an insider, doesn't it?"
"......"
Insider my foot!
It's not that I'm complaining, big sister, whose side are you on anyway?
I'm cooperating with you, not to have you hold me back. If you want to interrupt, can you interrupt the other side?
You wouldn't happen to be an undercover agent too, would you?
Cheng Shi's expression was extremely strange. Galiusha pulled out a crazy smile, looked up and laughed a few times, then looked at Wei Zhi on the side and raised her whip:
"Why say so much? Since this group of old things is determined to drag out time, why not let me save some time first.
The opportunity abandoned by the 【Truth】 believer, might as well take it."
Saying this, Galiusha actually rushed directly toward Wei Zhi. It was clear that she really had taken a fancy to this wanderer's identity.
Wei Zhi was naturally not afraid of Galiusha's attack. What made him feel solemn was that this trial seemed to have exceeded his calculations and become not so easy to pass.
Not to mention whether his wish to fuse with the Great Scholars could be achieved, at least whether he could survive in this desperate situation with players turning against each other and NPCs lurking around was a problem.
So in order to survive, and also to increase the bargaining chips in his hands, Wei Zhi didn't choose to confront Galiusha head-on but continued to negotiate with Cheng Shi with a gloomy face:
"Fate Weaver, my wish and your goal are not necessarily incompatible.
If you promise me that I can fuse with a Great Scholar afterward, I can turn around and help you thwart the Scholarly Chair Society's conspiracy. How about it?"
Cheng Shi sneered again: "Just by you? A fish (fool) that has been hooked, and you're talking about playing both sides?"
"You don't believe me!?" Wei Zhi dodged Galiusha's lash again, snorted coldly, and said, "Truth limit, do you believe it now?"
"?"
Cheng Shi's eyes froze: "You know where the truth limit is?"
"Of course!"
Wei Zhi just wanted to add some details to make his words seem more credible, but the moment he said the four words "truth limit," the Great Scholars' faces all changed.
They looked at Wei Zhi with suspicion, and the next second, they started attacking together with Galiusha.
Burza blacked out everyone's vision again, and six figures rushed toward Wei Zhi's location simultaneously.
"!!!
Volunt, have you all gone mad!?"
No matter how confident Wei Zhi was in his own strength, he couldn't resist the entire Scholarly Chair Society alone. Soon, under the pressure of the Great Scholars, he fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing their "teammate" who held the key information to break the situation struggling, the equally suspicious players began to lend him a hand. They couldn't just let the only clue so far be broken like this. Even if what Wei Zhi said might be fake, they still had to try.
Thus, the situation changed again.
The player camp, which had been divided, stood together again under Wei Zhi's operation, while the Great Scholars and Galiusha, who had always been strangers, temporarily became "allies" due to their own considerations.
For a time, the scene was in chaos.
Cheng Shi didn't move. He had seen the expressions of all the Great Scholars in the moment before it got dark and realized that Wei Zhi might have really found the location of the truth limit. Even if he hadn't found it, he must have guessed it; otherwise, the Great Scholars wouldn't be so crazy about wanting to silence him.
But how did the other party guess it?
If he could deduce Wei Zhi's logic, then this trial might have a chance of winning.
While he was still thinking, the battle on the field had already become heated.
Fang Yuan summoned the "Scorching Sun" at the top of the staff again, stood behind Meng Youfang with a frown, and said in a deep voice:
"Since this is just a game within a game, wouldn't it be enough to break its shell?
Fate Weaver, why can't we destroy this experiment with violence?"
"?"
What, do you think I don't want to?
Golith has been blocked outside the experiment; what other method do I have to destroy this experiment from the outside?
If you can do it, you do it.
Cheng Shi curled his lips. Considering that Fang Yuan might really have some secret 【Order】 means in his hands, he rolled his eyes and said:
"Perhaps it would work, but I don't have such a powerful item in my hands."
"I do!"
At this time, don't argue about whether it's a trap or not. Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, let Meng Youfang in front of him block the Great Scholars' attacks, and then took a key out of his arms, held it in his palm, and said in a deep voice:
"Great Scholar, today's Tusnat will completely become ruins under the gaze of 【Order】.
Your 【Truth】 experiment is finished."
As he said this, he invoked the power of 【Hatred's Wrath】 and summoned the forbidden meteor fire rain from the sky!
The entire West City froze for a moment because of Fang Yuan's shout. Everyone looked up at the sky, and then they saw......
Nothing.
Except for the light on Fang Yuan's staff, not a single spark flashed in the sky.
"......"
"......"
"......"
The firmer the shout of this president of the Order Alliance was just now, the redder his face was at this moment.
Cheng Shi never expected that there would still be clowns appearing at this time, but he didn't just watch the show. Instead, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, he snapped his fingers, and activated his 【Fate】 talent, Fate also has a fork in the road.
He guessed that all external forces capable of destroying the experiment must have been blocked outside the real experiment, and outside the experiment could be considered part of the trial. So if the fate of the entire trial were to take a fork in the road, perhaps a glimmer of life could appear in the extreme tragedy. So he did it, and then......
Still nothing.
The sky was terrifyingly clear. Even under Burza's "lights out" method, not a single spark or change could be seen.
At this moment, the fork in the road of fate seemed to have disappeared.
But is that really the case?
Not at all!
Outside the experiment, outside the trial, outside reality, where no one could see, pairs of divine eyes opened in the boundless void.
【Fate】 was furious, and 【Fraud】 was no longer giggling.
【Void】's gaze should have been looking inside this trial, but it was blocked by a thick Star Brilliance Codex.
Also blocked was the anger of 【Hatred's Wrath】. His prison door had already been pulled open, but when he saw that his anger hadn't poured out at all, this subordinate god of 【Chaos】 and prisoner of 【Order】 roared and poked his head out of the cage, only to see three gods standing before him, the scene tense.
"......"
【Hatred's Wrath】 extinguished his fire in a second, scrambled to pick up the anger scattered in front of the cage door, and rolled back like a gust of wind.
He didn't dare to participate, nor did he want to, but unfortunately, the scene wouldn't let him.
Only to see the power of 【Fate】 triggered by a certain believer within the trial, turning into a giant hand that created misfortune, pulling open again...... no, it should be directly tearing off the cage door of 【Hatred's Wrath】, forcing him to pour his anger into this strange trial.
【Hatred's Wrath】 trembled, not daring to disobey. After all, 【Void】 was two against one. Even if he were liquidated by 【Truth】 afterward, it would be better than being sent away by 【Void】 on the spot, right?
But just as he was brewing his emotions and preparing to howl again, 【Order】 descended.
That's right, it was 【Order】, or rather, 【Order Iron Law】!
This 【Order Iron Law】, which had stripped away all its own 【Chaos】, appeared and blocked 【Hatred's Wrath】's roar. He personally closed the prison door of this old subordinate and then threw the helpless 【Hatred's Wrath】 into the depths of the void right in front of all the gods present.
【Fate】's eyes became increasingly cold. He looked at 【Order】 and said, suppressing his anger:
"It seems 【Civilization】 wants to go to war with me?
Very well. Since that's the case, why didn't 【War】 come?"
"......"
Once these words were spoken, the most awkward ones on the scene weren't the two from 【Civilization】, but 【Fraud】.
It was He who had hidden 【War】 to prepare for His own plan. At this time, He couldn't lose face for His brother god by saying 2v2 was also fine. It was rare that 【Fate】 stood with Him again because of His believers, so He couldn't tear down His own stage.
But if He didn't tear it down, someone else would.
That thick Star Brilliance Codex flipped its pages quickly and looked at 【Fraud】 with a smile, asking:
"I also want to know, why didn't 【War】 come?"
【Fraud】 couldn't gossip about His brother god in front of other paths, but that didn't mean He didn't dare to be sarcastic to 【Truth】. Hearing the other party say this, He immediately became mocking.
"Is this how you seek truth?
One hundred thousand whys?
If asking questions could get answers, the universe would have already seen truth everywhere.
Pfft——
Pen-pusher, you don't really think that just by relying on the two of you, you can stop 【Void】, do you?"
Before 【Truth】 could respond, 【Fate】 said coldly first:
"I am here to protect my believers, it has nothing to do with you.
Don't drag 【Void】 into your business either."
"......"
Whose side are you on?
【Fraud】 laughed in anger, and the starlight in His eyes began to flicker rapidly.
"Fine, fine, fine. Go protect your believers, I won't interfere in this matter anymore."
Saying this, He looked at the descending 【Order】 and sneered:
"Some gods forget their roots too quickly. Do they really think they can replace others just by snatching their positions?
【Order】 is long gone. What kind of order can those few scraps of paper He once wrote be called?
Hmph!"
While speaking, those eyes gradually faded, but no one on the scene believed He would just give up.
Sure enough, after discovering that the indirect approach was useless, 【Fraud】, who wanted to escape and take a detour, appeared in place again with a gloomy face. He looked into the depths of the void and mocked mercilessly:
"Do you really think 【Void】 is your own home?
【Annihilation】, what kind of thing are you?"
That's right, 【Annihilation】 had arrived. It was He who forced 【Fraud】 back. Of course, relying on Himself alone wouldn't be enough, but if 【Truth】 insisted on an answer here, with the help of 【Civilization】, He dared to try.
Seeing the situation stalemate again, the Star Brilliance Codex flipped its pages faster.
"Everyone, don't be impatient. The experiment will start soon, and it will end soon."
Although that was said, 【Fate】 had no patience left. Having been provoked by the gods repeatedly and unable to protect His believers, He flew into a rage and directly activated the authority of 【Misfortune】, dragging the universe into true misfortune!
The void began to collapse in an instant, large swaths of darkness peeling off, revealing the even emptier void within.
For a time, all the gods present changed color.
Those who hadn't come in person, except for 【Time】, descended one after another, spreading their divine power together to lift up this universe that was about to collapse.
【Fate】 held nothing back, and they didn't dare to be careless. If there was even a trace of negligence, this world would really be finished.
"Are you mad!?"
【Annihilation】 couldn't sit still. This was the second time He had felt 【Fate】's anger, but this time it was far more violent than the last.
【Fate】's gaze became increasingly cold, as if a single look could freeze the void forever. He scanned the gods in front of Him and said emotionlessly:
"Since my believers want fate to take a fork in the road, then 【Fate】 will take a fork in the road!"
"......"
"......"
"......"
Who is whose benefactor in the end!?
And who is devout to whom!!??
For a time, the gods looked at each other, all speechless.
Only 【Fraud】 looked at 【Fate】, the corners of His eyes raised, but there was no joy.
Cheng Shi (Red-nosed version): Thank you all for voting and supporting!
