Chapter 1101: [Sin of No Desire] Delashierko

~8 min read 1,506 words

【Sin of No Desire】 Delashierko

Speaking of Delashierko, Avlos's eyebrows twitched slightly.

If his eyes were filled with pity when recalling Tria, then after mentioning Delashierko, only... appreciation remained in his eyes.

And it was a strange appreciation.

Avlos's perception of this "colleague" seemed somewhat complex, so complex that he didn't even ask Cheng Shi why he was interested in Delashierko.

"【Sin of No Desire】, this is his divine name."

Avlos fell into memories again, only this time he was more like a bystander, a bystander of those who desire.

"He is likely the first evil in this world, and also the most evil one.

His will is diametrically opposed to Tria's. Just like his divine name, any ascetic who rejects desire is sinful in his eyes, having committed the sin of no desire.

He tirelessly runs around everywhere, just to punish these 'sinful' people. All the ascetics he finds are either planted with irresistible desires by his own hands, or they reject desire and embrace death.

He is like a dagger, slitting the throats of blasphemers, diligently using their blood to paint over the blank spaces of desire for our Benefactor.

Of course, the means of painting might be a bit radical, but his piety is beyond doubt."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi knew why Avlos appreciated the other party, because... 【Nest Mother of Sin】!

Isn't this Delashierko just the 【Filth and Corruption】 version of the "【Nest Mother of Sin】"?

To punish all who desecrate the faith is to exist as a whip of the gods, much like Grace.

Good fellow, it turns out you two are not just colleagues, but also peers.

Avlos seemed to see what Cheng Shi was thinking, and he nodded and continued:

"If I couldn't tell that you had indeed lost your memories regarding them, I would really think you were guiding my judgment so that I would think it was Delashierko who killed Tria."

"?"

Cheng Shi was stunned, "The two of them don't get along?"

"Yes, they don't get along at all.

One only enjoys joy and never spreads suffering, while the other acts recklessly and takes pleasure in planting desires through the suffering of others.

Their wills are poles apart and have nothing to do with each other, so naturally, they don't look favorably upon one another.

Well, that's biased. It should be said that Delashierko doesn't look favorably upon Tria. Tria never had prejudices, but Delashierko believed that the other party's inaction was a blasphemy against ultimate desire.

He indeed had the possibility of killing Tria, but I don't think he would kill her by the side of the Sea of Desire.

Because he is the most pious of the three of us, and the one who resonates most with the Sea of Desire. He might release his own desires, but he would definitely respect the Benefactor and not slaughter his own compatriots by the side of the Sea of Desire.

My brother, having heard so much from me, I presume you have heard everything you wanted to know.

Then, as the chips you should pay in this information exchange, can I make a request and ask you to help me find out the truth about Tria's passing?"

Cheng Shi's eyebrows tightened:

"You want to avenge her?

Are you crazy?

Not to mention whether you can walk out of this cage of 【Time】, the one who could kill Tria must at least be a subordinate god, or perhaps even a true god!

You want to seek revenge against a true god?

I think you really feel you don't have enough shackles on your ankles!

Avlos, wake up. Just as you said, if you firmly believe that the next era will eventually come, then Tria... will come back."

Avlos kept smiling at Cheng Shi. It wasn't until Cheng Shi finished speaking that he shook his head, his finger lightly drawing an "×" on the tabletop, his tone playful:

"I never said I was going to take revenge."

"Then what are you investigating..." Halfway through, Cheng Shi froze, and then his expression changed, his tone suspicious, "I say Avlos, you don't want me to take revenge for you, do you?"

"Clap, clap, clap—"

Avlos clapped directly: "I knew it, my brother, Foolish Play, you will definitely help me."

"I won't!"

Cheng Shi didn't even think about it, refusing in a second.

But Avlos didn't seem surprised by this, instead shaking his head and smiling again:

"You definitely will, otherwise, you will never hear what you want from me again today.

My brother, don't forget I am her follower. Besides sensing the desire in your lies, I can also sense many other desires.

You kept delaying your arrival, but today you came here using the desires of two mortals as an excuse. You must want to find things you don't remember among those lost memories here.

Plus, you revealed the face of 【Time】 and have a plan against 【Time】. I guess what you want to know is related to this warden, 【Time】, right?"

"......"

It is truly tiring to talk to a smart person.

Cheng Shi even started to doubt whether Avlos believed his excuses at all.

However, whether he truly believed them was not important; what was important was Avlos's attitude.

As long as he was willing to let himself step into Dolgode again, and willing to let Golis continue to help, then what did it matter if he believed it or not?

But on the point of 【Time】, Cheng Shi truly couldn't understand Avlos's move to take the opportunity to raise the stakes.

The other party clearly hated 【Time】, so why bind the stance of jointly opposing 【Time】 with the investigation of Tria's cause of death?

Isn't this holding himself back?

Is Tria that important?

Could it be that Avlos is still hiding something, and his relationship with Tria is not simple?

Cheng Shi frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he stared at Avlos and curled his lips:

"I see there is indeed a traitor in this team jointly opposing 【Time】, but this traitor is not me. But who it is... I can't say."

Avlos smiled lightly, not caring at all:

"I naturally want to resist.

But my brother, you forgot one thing.

You have the gaze of the Benefactor above your head, and 【Nothingness】 is an enemy of 【Existence】, so naturally, you can act recklessly under the protection of the Benefactor.

But I am different; I am just a prisoner of 【Time】. The risk of resisting him is too great. If there are not enough chips, it is difficult for me to stand up and resist him after realizing that 【Time】 is a world-destroyer.

Although the tides of the era will bring me back, this era is very wonderful, and I don't want to die young here."

"......"

Cheng Shi was helpless. He could tell that Avlos really cared about Tria's death. If he didn't loosen his mouth today, he might really not be able to find out anything else from the other party, turning this into a one-day prison visit.

So, helplessly, he pondered:

"I can investigate the cause of Tria's death, but Avlos, I cannot give you a definite promise. I can only promise you:

If the murderer is a subordinate god, I will try to help you take this revenge;

But if the murderer is a true god...

At most, I will find someone to pick a good cemetery for Tria, build an exquisite tombstone, and pay for two high-quality wreaths out of my own pocket!

Helping you at the risk of disobeying the Benefactor's instructions and being involved with 【Filth and Corruption】—this is the greatest sincerity I can give right now!"

Sincerity is impossible; even with only half a promise, Cheng Shi hid his own agenda in it.

He said "if I investigate that the murderer is a subordinate god, I will try to help Avlos take revenge," but the premise of this promise is to investigate the identity of the murderer!

If I keep failing to investigate it... eh, you can't blame me for that, can you?

I am not 【Foolishness】; I don't know the answer just by looking. Besides, it's not like I didn't investigate; I was just a bit stupid and didn't find it.

The effect of this rhetoric was undoubtedly very good, as could be seen from Avlos's reaction.

The moment Cheng Shi's voice fell, the bright moon by the table rose into the sky again.

Avlos was extremely happy.

He tapped his toes, stepped onto the tabletop, and couldn't wait to use his reclining body to shorten the distance between the two.

He looked at Cheng Shi, his eyes glowing.

"I have never questioned our friendship, my brother. Whatever you want to ask, I can tell you."

"......"

The person opposite was glowing, but Cheng Shi was shivering. He shrank back, his whole body stiff.

No, just talk if you want to talk, what are you wriggling on the table for?
