Chapter 1124
Audience and Audience
Void.
A candlelight sways in the hollow and boundless darkness, flickering, as if it could be swallowed by nothingness at any time.
But even if it is precarious, that light never goes out. He is like a glowing nail, nailed to this void, waiting silently, until...
A pair of eyes opens above his head, the corners of the eyes raised high to greet him.
"Hee~
Rare guest, why seek an audience with me instead of finding your cold and ruthless benefactor?
I have neither change nor hope here, and cannot give you what you want."
That candlelight gradually takes shape under the siege of darkness, turning into a candlelight person again. He raises his head, flames roaring as he looks at the pair of eyes in front of him, laughing self-deprecatingly:
"I don't want anything, I just want an answer.
Just like you threw your believers in front of me to seek an answer, I also came to seek an answer."
The pair of eyes turns, happy:
"Then you are afraid you asked the wrong god.
I am the appearance of 【Nothingness】, the master who holds the falsehood of the Universe. There is no answer in my mouth.
Even if there is, it is fake.
If you want an answer, you should go ask 【Truth】... oh no, it should be 【Foolishness】.
He knows a lot, even if he doesn't know, he can pretend to know and make one up for you."
"Good, then let me go see 【Foolishness】." The Fire of Hope's tone is neither happy nor sad.
"?"
【Deception】's eyes pause, and then spiral slightly, "Interesting, you are a subordinate god of 【Nothingness】, the messenger of my silly sister, the change independent of 【Fate】, why talk about a 'let' word to me?
You are free, go wherever you want.
No need to ask for my opinion."
"Is that so?" The candlelight person raises his head, his eyes complex and faint: "Then can I have an audience with the 【Origin】!?"
"..."
【Deception】 is silent.
The next second, a strange divine power spreads from Him, freezing all the void around, so that no one can peek here again.
The stars in His eyes flash frequently, spiraling and turning, the playful tone dissipates, and the whole pair of eyes becomes serious.
He looks at the Fire of Hope, his tone complex, not knowing how many emotions were mixed in.
"What do you want to see 【*He】 for?
Do you think that the despair 【*He】 brought to this world is not enough?"
The candlelight person's whole body flames flash, shaking his head:
"Is the despair of this world really brought by the 【Origin】?"
"Otherwise?"
"How did 【*He】 bring it?"
"Why pretend to be stupid? Didn't a certain clown tell you everything?
This Creator of ours is far from as simple as you and I think.
To put it nicely, we are variables in the experiment. To put it ugly... gods, authority? Heh, they are just dispensable things in this vast Real Universe.
When the will you have worshipped for countless years becomes gravel scattered by others, aren't you afraid?"
"Of course I am afraid." The Fire of Hope's answer is decisive. He looks at the pair of eyes in front of him that occasionally flash with seven-colored strange brilliance, firm and confused: "But what I fear more is... who am I?"
【Deception】's pupils shrink, and soon he laughs loudly:
"Who are you?
You are naturally the subordinate god of 【Nothingness】, the messenger of 【Fate】, the Fire of Hope condensed from the change discarded by Him.
This identity was told to me by you when we first met, why ask me now?"
"Yes, my memory tells me I am the Fire of Hope.
But I don't want to believe my memory now. 【Memory】 is your mortal enemy. I don't trust Him, it shouldn't be wrong, right?
So I came to seek an answer, a new answer.
If you can't tell me, then I will ask 【Fate】 myself!
I think He will tell me who I am."
【Deception】 sneers:
"Chi—
【Fate】 has always been cold. Since He discarded you, how could He see you?
The world says 【Fate】 is ruthless, little do they know He is even more ruthless to Himself.
Give it up. Even if you were once a part of Him, He will never admit your identity. There is never hope in His eyes."
When 【Deception】 said this, his tone was mixed with gnashing teeth and sighing. The Fire of Hope could hear that the other party's emotions were very complex at this time, but he didn't believe a word of it.
Because he knew that the person in front of him was the benefactor of all liars in the Universe, the god who is best at lying under this starry sky. He had seen this kind of bridge countless times. This time, he would never be deceived again.
So he said firmly:
"Whether He admits it or sees it is His business.
What I can decide is whether to go and whether to ask.
Since I am free, then I will go."
The candlelight person's whole body flames roared, ready to go. However, the next second, 【Deception】 gathered all the emotions in his eyes, blinked lightly, and rolled up countless nothingness storms in the void, extinguishing all the light of the Fire of Hope, making him completely merge with the surrounding darkness.
After doing all this, the pair of eyes looked at everything below, saying word by word:
"I don't agree."
Void, under the 【Chaos Divine Rank】.
Facing Hu Wei who was confused and Da Yi who was irritable in front of him, Cheng Shi fell into deep thought.
He didn't expect the impact of 【War】's fall to reach the players so quickly. When His authority was left in the Real Universe, 【War】's believers could still continue the trial under the protection of the 【Convention】, but His creations...
Looking at the sword with flickering flames in the hands of the old brother and the iron thorns between Da Yi's fingers that no longer had spirituality, he suddenly realized it was time to find a suitable new home for Ultraman's followers.
The God of Fun had already learned the answer from the side of the Sea of Desire. Although He hadn't figured out why 【War】 "tore apart" 【Order】, the god himself was gone, so the probing of the 【War】 faction naturally lost its meaning.
So how to settle these two 【Chaos】 subordinates?
The curtain of faith fusion had been pulled open for a long time. Before a group of players had fused, Hu Wei and Da Yi relied on borrowing 【War】's power to achieve "faith fusion" at the combat power level.
But now, as 【War】's power faded, they seemed a bit behind.
Of course, there are actually many opportunities for fusion. For peak players, it is not difficult to choose an additional faith at this time, and the reason why the two have not fused is precisely because of their piety.
Lord Ultraman didn't set the tone, so they could only drag it on and on, until now they couldn't drag it anymore. Helplessly, they had to seek an audience again.
Cheng Shi knew Hu Wei's thoughts. This old brother decided to go on the road of 【Chaos】 and never return. He wanted to fuse 【Deception】.
But this matter has been discussed for such a long time, and the God of Fun hasn't expressed anything to him. Could it be that He doesn't intend to let Hu Wei fuse 【Deception】?
Cheng Shi ponders for a moment, and remembers the words the Fire of Hope said: Faith is not in keeping, but in fighting.
He must actively win over a batch of new believers and expand his territory on the land of faith. So since the God of Fun doesn't want it, can Envoy Envoy Yu Xi want it?
His eyes turn, and he says to Hu Wei:
"I already know your thoughts. You have done a good job in the task of approaching 【Nothingness】 in the early stage, and the cooperation between my Lord and 【Deception】 can be considered to have made some progress.
Such a small matter doesn't need to bother that 【Nothingness】 master. Go see His messenger, I believe you have heard of Him long ago."
Hu Wei is stunned: "That subordinate god of 【Nothingness】... Envoy Envoy Yu Xi!?"
