Master and Servant Confrontation

The world is about to be destroyed.

This is Cheng Shi's most immediate feeling right now.

He had never seen such dense 【Annihilation】 power; even with the 【Pact】 suppressing it and 【Justice (Order)】 restraining it, the 【Annihilation】 power, like a towering tidal wave, still swept across under this brilliant starry sky.

To put it frighteningly, a single drop of water splashed from this giant wave could annihilate this world countless times, let alone such a terrifying 【Annihilation】 frenzy.

Fortunately, the two rulers of 【Void】 were not idle; when the 【Annihilation】 rage erupted, 【Fate】 blinked lightly and saved His followers, while 【Deceit】 was a step late, able only to protect Luo Luo Bosi beside Cheng Shi with a look of disgust.

The agenda has not yet begun; as a key figure, He cannot die yet.

But even with 【Fate】's protection, Cheng Shi still stepped back two steps in terror, hiding behind Luo Luo Bosi.

Humans and gods are ultimately different; this is clear at a glance.

Cheng Shi's face was full of tension; in contrast, Luo Luo Bosi stood still, like a "pillar stabilizing the sea," resisting the rage of his patron.

Just as Cheng Shi felt a slight respect for him in his heart, 【Deceit】 said with a playful tone:

"If your legs are weak and you can't stand straight, you can sit; no need to force it."

Luo Luo Bosi's figure swayed, stumbled half a step, but ultimately forced himself not to sit down.

"..."

Seeing this, Cheng Shi rolled his eyes, thinking we two are about the same...

The 【Annihilation】 rage burned; those eyes, constantly collapsing and disintegrating, looked extremely gloomily at His Emissary, at Luo Luo Bosi who had followed and been loyal to Him for so long, unwilling to accept his betrayal, asking word by word:

"Did 【Void】 control you?"

Luo Luo Bosi's figure froze; he raised his head and first met those playful starry eyes beside him. Although 【Deceit】 had not spoken and only blinked, he clearly heard the other silently say:

Only by being trapped in a desperate situation can one burn the boats and fight to the end.

"..."

Luo Luo Bosi's expression changed, then his eyes became firm again, and his face gradually grew cold.

He slowly raised his head, straightened his gaze, and looked directly at his patron, shaking his head and saying:

"No."

"You dare lie to me!"

Just these two words made the 【Annihilation】 breath of the entire starry sky congeal into substance; the outer stars shattered with a boom, the flowing starlight all returned to the void. 【Annihilation】 could not believe it; He repeated His question again, this time every syllable heavier than the last, and more gritted.

"Did 【Void】 control you?"

A hint of reluctance flashed in Luo Luo Bosi's eyes, but in an instant he shook his head even more coldly:

"I said, no.

It was my own request; I requested my lord's divine throne!"

Seeing this, 【Annihilation】 laughed in anger.

"Good!

It seems you want to embrace the will of a True God with the body of a subordinate god."

As He spoke, the 【Annihilation】 power of the entire starry sky, guided by 【Annihilation】, poured back toward the seat of 【Void】. 【Fate】's eyes grew cold and He prepared to act, but 【Deceit】 blocked Him, looking at 【Annihilation】 and saying cheerfully:

"I advise you not to act.

Setting aside whether you can fight two, don't forget, this is the arena of the old relic; do you not want to violate the rules and forfeit your vote at the Council of Gods Pact?

Regardless of victory or defeat, once the Council of Gods Pact begins, there must be a result.

If you insist on forfeiting the vote in your hand, I certainly will not object.

Some 【Void】 entities are so energetic they can't wait to fight people every day; perfect, use you to wear down His energy; that counts as a win-win."

"..."

One sarcastic remark made the stormy debate hall return to calm.

The 【Annihilation】 breath, as substantial as matter, stopped an inch above Luo Luo Bosi's head, resonating with the purest 【Annihilation】 power within Him, as if telling a silent joke to everyone present.

The True God still exists; how can an Emissary usurp and seize His position?

It was not only one who had doubts; especially 【Order's Iron Law】, which valued order the most, its lawbook flipped pages rapidly, seemingly reviewing the rules of the 【Pact】, but after looking back and forth, He still could not find a single clause allowing Luo Luo Bosi to replace Him, so He looked at 【Justice (Order)】 in confusion and said:

"【Annihilation】 still exists and has freedom; why can this agenda pass?"

Before 【Justice (Order)】 could respond, the giant skull in the hall spoke first.

【Death】's expression was strange; the green flames in the eye sockets swayed wildly; He let out a cold snort and said with an odd tone:

"What the law does not forbid, may be done. The 【Pact】, did it ever say that while a True God still exists, an Emissary cannot inherit His divine throne and authority?"

With these words, the entire hall was shocked.

It was not only because of the content, but also because of this one's identity!

To be sure, counting everyone present, none could compare to the three of 【Life】 in terms of tradition; especially 【Death】, who never spoke lightly and would never deliberately dig for loopholes.

So how could He say such a thing?

This matter looked like it was instigated by some 【Void】 entity, and coincidentally the focus of the agenda was 【Death】's rival, 【Annihilation】...

At this, all the gods understood; 【Deceit】 was catering to 【Death】's preferences, using 【Death】's hand to slap 【Annihilation】's face hard.

【Annihilation】 was even angrier; those constantly disintegrating eyes almost collapsed completely; He turned His gloomy gaze back to His old rival, then turned again to re-examine His Emissary, unwilling to accept it and saying:

"Tell me you have not betrayed me, have not defected to 【Death】's camp!"

Luo Luo Bosi exhaled lightly and said with a complex expression:

"Of course I have not betrayed you, because I still intend to inherit your divine throne and authority."

"..."

"Good, good, good!"

【Annihilation】 calmed down completely; at this moment, He looked coldly at the gods present, said nothing, and returned to His seat.

Amid that boundless fury, the figure's slightly desolate and forlorn silhouette made the gods stir.

Of course, the gods all knew this was a counterattack by 【Annihilation】, but the problem was that the things 【Annihilation】 expressed silently were also what they dreaded.

If the True Gods still existed, the Lesser Gods would dare to usurp and seize their power!

Once such a thing set a precedent, who would still dare to appoint an Envoy?

This reveals the foresight of the gods who chose the Paths in the later era.

Upon the birth of 【Civilization】, it drew lessons from 【Life】 and 【Sinking】; except for 【Order】 appointing many Envoys to maintain cosmic order, starting from 【Truth】, Lesser God-level creations became the mainstream for spreading the True Gods' will.

Those gods without the worry of an Envoy's betrayal naturally had no concerns, but there were still those who could not stand it.

After 【Foolishness】 took his seat, he spoke not a word, merely scoffing and watching the show; now, seeing 【Annihilation】 at a loss and 【Void】 holding a sure victory, he let out a scoff and said:

"I think calling this era 【Void】 is a waste; it should be called 【Foolish Acts】, for the entire era is nothing but foolish acts."
