Cheated

【War】 authority "Unyielding" (partial): A true god authority recognized by the 【Covenant】, bestowed by its wielder, enabling the holder to possess partial power to act on behalf of this authority.

Authority effect 【Arrogant and Unyielding】: The agent is influenced by the authority, possesses divine might, is no longer subject to any momentum coercion or oppression, and will produce a momentum suppression effect on the weak.

Looking at the effect of this authority, Cheng Shi had to admit that Qin Xin understood him.

With Cheng Shi's current situation, he was not enough to be a "god" and had more than a "human." Acting on behalf of a single authority could not make Cheng Shi's strength or influence go further, but the effect of this "Arrogant and Unyielding" allowed him to hold his head high in front of the gods and be able to sit at the table to negotiate more calmly and steadily.

Of course, such a just-right "sharing" was not because Qin Xin knew everything about Cheng Shi, but more because of his beautiful expectations for this Fate-Weaver. He hoped that "Unyielding" was a beginning, the beginning of life in this world challenging the gods with human bodies.

Cheng Shi's expression was complex. He felt Qin Xin's expectation. Although the other party explicitly said he didn't require him to do anything, just this expectation was already heavy enough.

Cheng Shi felt the breath of the 【War】 authority flowing on him, and after a moment of silence, he smiled:

"Verification complete. It seems our luck is indeed not bad."

"Since so, Qin Xin, take back your authority. You should know that what I said before was not empty words, I don't..."

Before Cheng Shi could finish, Qin Xin shook his head:

"No need."

"You also know what I mean. This is not a kidnapping of will, nor is it a moral shackle. This is a gift to a friend, a small gift."

"... If authorities are all small gifts, then I can't imagine what counts as a big gift."

Qin Xin smiled: "If you really feel burdened, then Fate-Weaver, let's make a deal."

Cheng Shi was too shrewd. When Qin Xin said this, he guessed what the other party would say.

"You want me to push you onto that throne?"

A flash of light shone in Qin Xin's eyes:

"You really can influence the gods, and even seize the throne!"

"Before, I thought Hong Lin's throne was something you got by chance, but now looking at it, with your confident posture..."

"I am very curious, Cheng Shi, 【Fraud】 still exists, you might not be a god yet, but are you also no longer a human?"

"..."

You better not be scolding me.

Cheng Shi laughed angrily:

"Compared to you, I indeed don't look much like a human, but compared to some people, I at least still have something to do with 'human'."

"Since we are talking about this, I won't hide it from you. That's right, we are indeed pushing humans to usurp the throne and become gods, and you are one of our goals."

"The destined person?" Qin Xin raised his eyebrows.

"... It seems they have already told you."

Cheng Shi's eyes narrowed, remembering again the matter of him and the big cat being cheated.

These two swindlers from the real universe knew too much, so much that it made people feel they seemed to have experienced something personally.

Cheng Shi was already suspicious of their identities. At this time, when talking about this, he let Qin Xin talk about the story of the swindlers.

Qin Xin was also confused, so he told Cheng Shi everything that happened with that Cheng Shi... yes, even now, he still felt that it was Cheng Shi and Hong Lin, just not the Cheng Shi and Hong Lin of his own world.

After Cheng Shi finished listening, his eyebrows were knitted into a ball.

Could the other party be sent by 【Fate】?

Otherwise, why would they say the "lies" of 【Fraud】 destroying the world and 【Fate】 saving the world?

But the problem was that what the other party said was too much like the truth. If there really was such a world that needed 【Fate】 to save it, then Cheng Shi reckoned that even if he were present, he would at most say it like this.

And this meant that those two swindlers were very good at acting.

No, just saying acting didn't seem enough. It should be said that they understood him very well, and also understood Hong Lin and Qin Xin very well.

They were like the shadows of the three people present, replicating these three exactly.

Wait!

Shadows!?

Cheng Shi suddenly lowered his head to look at his shadow, a flash of light in his eyes:

"You said the Hong Lin you fought with was not powerful?"

Qin Xin was stunned and nodded: "That's right, I did have that feeling."

"When was the last time you fought with Hong Lin?"

Qin Xin looked at Hong Lin and recalled carefully: "It's been a while. That was when I first met her. We could also be considered as not knowing each other without fighting."

Hong Lin glanced at Qin Xin. Obviously, at that time, she didn't think Qin Xin could rival her.

Of course, she didn't know Qin Xin was the Grand Marshal, nor did she know the other party had a second form.

Qin Xin didn't know how strong Hong Lin, who had ascended the throne, had become.

Cheng Shi thought for a moment and patted the big cat's shoulder:

"Attack."

"?"

The big cat was startled and instinctively looked at the periphery: "Who's coming?"

Cheng Shi shook his head and smiled: "No one is coming. Under the vigilance of you two, no one dares to approach here."

"I mean let you attack Qin Xin. He needs to re-recognize your strength, and I also have to use this to measure what level that fake who impersonated you is."

Hong Lin understood, and a trace of ecstasy suddenly flashed in her eyes.

"Now?"

Although she was still politely verifying, in fact, she had long since turned back into a giant bear and pounced toward Qin Xin.

The whistling wind took away Hong Lin's words. Cheng Shi didn't even hear what the other party said, and saw the two collide with a "boom."

This was not a duel between two peak players, it couldn't even be considered a duel between mortals; this was a confrontation between two authority agents!

The indomitable Hong Lin faced the unyielding Qin Xin. Under the dual blessing of 【Prosperity】 and 【Fate】, the giant bear could barely shake Qin Xin by a fraction!

Qin Xin, who inherited the authority, was too strong. Don't forget, even 【Order】 was split in the hands of 【War】, let alone 【Prosperity】.

And the authority the big cat possessed now was not complete. Just in terms of combat power, she could no longer defeat Qin Xin, who was added with authority.

But Qin Xin was still startled by the big cat's bravery. If the Hong Lin just now was still slightly inferior to the Hong Lin of his world when they first met, then the current Hong Lin was simply several times that of the Hong Lin just now.

Cheng Shi knew from Qin Xin's expression feedback that the swindler who fought with the other party just now could never reach the big cat's current strength. That meant the swindler who impersonated the big cat in front of him was very likely only good at swindling and not good at force.

Coincidentally, a Cheng Shi who looked exactly like himself, plus a "Hong Lin" who was good at swindling, this combination looked like...

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he snapped his fingers with a strange expression.

The other two present didn't notice the change here at all. Hong Lin and Qin Xin were fighting fiercely. In order not to spoil his friend's fun, Qin Xin didn't reserve his strength and soon suppressed Hong Lin in a corner.

Hong Lin didn't feel discouraged because of the "defeat," but instead became the "unyielding" side under the endless pressure of 【War】.

She fought this battle heartily, without any frustration of knowing she was inferior or dissatisfaction of combat power reversal, and this was the real big cat; she never tangled with these coy things.

But as they fought, the two noticed something wrong around them.

They stopped at the same time and turned to look in Cheng Shi's direction, only to see that another "Hong Lin" had appeared beside Cheng Shi at some point!

Hong Lin's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously reminded: "Careful!"

However, Cheng Shi just smiled, pointed at the Hong Lin beside him, and said with a wonderful expression:

"I seem to have guessed who those two swindlers are."

"Who!?" Qin Xin and Hong Lin were shocked at the same time.

Cheng Shi touched his nose, his laughter extremely complex, as if mocking himself, and as if a bitter smile:

"Probably a clown who is extremely bored."

"Hmm, we were cheated. They are not two people, but one."

"A clown." ===== CHAPTER 1231 =====
