Chapter 1293

The last straw that broke the clown? No, a life-saving straw!

Who could imagine that a 【Nothingness】 master who in the past could attract all the gods to fully support the universe just by spreading misfortune, the power of His self-detonation, didn't even cause the collapse of the void.

Correct, 【Fate】 self-detonated.

The light at that moment was like a spark flashing in some invisible giant hand, extinguished in the palm before it could illuminate the surrounding darkness.

He was born rugged and bumpy, but died silently.

Is the power of 【Origin】 this terrifying!

Yes, of course it is this terrifying!

The countless 【War】s erased in the real universe have already proven this point.

But that was in the real universe, a place where people instinctively amplify their emotions and fears, while this is a sliced universe, a starry sky where the gods are the heavens.

Suddenly seeing the power related to 【Origin】 under this starry sky, how could one not be even more afraid?

Cheng Shi was completely stunned; he was only one straw away from a real breakdown.

【Fate】 was originally His life-saving straw; half of all his self-rescue plans were tied to 【Fate】, but who could have imagined that just by having the naked truth torn open by the Outer God 【Fate】 and being suppressed under the void by the power of 【Origin】, this 【Nothingness】 master chose to self-detonate so desperately.

Cheng Shi knew 【Fate】's meaning; He wanted to drag the universe down so the Outer God could not succeed.

But the absurd thing was that His death did not cause the slightest impact on the other 【Fate】, just leaving that infinite despair as an "inheritance" to His believer, the Weaver.

He just threw away the established order He had been thinking about and chose to completely embrace nothingness.

Is it sad?

It is sad.

Is it ridiculous?

It is ridiculous.

Everyone in the world is resisting the heavy pressure of 【Fate】, moving forward with difficulty; nobody expected that 【Fate】, which presses on the world, could not withstand pressure itself.

The huge pressure was transmitted to Cheng Shi due to the passing of 【Fate】; this heavy pressure and fear originating from the Creator was enough to destroy a person's will and break a mortal's spine.

But Cheng Shi still held on!

He was gritting his teeth and persisting.

He knew that in the face of this kind of power, all resistance was ineffective, but he just wanted to resist, just as the real 【Deception】 never yielded to 【Origin】's manipulation, and just as the Cheng Shis of countless worlds dared to piece together that bloody mockery in front of 【Origin】!

He never gave up; he said he would write his own ending with his own hands, and he had been doing so all along; even if every path in this ending was a dead end, he would find a way to die that satisfied him among these many dead ends!

He wanted to follow his own heart, not fulfill the Outer God's wishes!

Cheng Shi clenched his fists, tensed all his muscles to prevent fear from spreading in his flesh and blood; he gritted his teeth, glared at the Outer God, and sneered with a trembling and crazy voice:

"Is this your vision for saving the world!?

Is this the effort you made for the deceased 【Deception】!?

Is this your so-called established order that can knock open the gate of 【Origin】's temple!?

You use the destruction of a world as a stepping stone to get closer to 【Him】, and yet you tell me not to cut off the kindness of other clowns!

Ha, hahaha, who is the clown after all?

Clowns know how to spread kindness in times of despair, while you only know how to seize the power of 【Origin】 in the collapse of the world and then wantonly vent the malice in your heart!

You use other worlds as bargaining chips; have you ever asked if the 【Fate】 of this world is willing?

You didn't!

You don't care at all!

Oh, I get it; such behavior that overrides the will of others, isn't that 【Origin】?

No wonder you want to get closer to 【Him】; you are the same kind of thing as 【Him】!"

The clown was firing on all cylinders, with no more scruples; it looked like he had completely given up.

But these words clearly angered the Outer God 【Fate】; His eyes turned cold instantly, and countless nothingness gales rose, sweeping toward the clown.

Cheng Shi instantly tightened his body and hurriedly shouted in horror: "I was wrong, I said the wrong thing."

The howling nothingness gale stalled, and then the clown in the gale was heard laughing wildly again:

"You guys aren't things at all!"

"How dare you!"

The gale filling the sky instantly strangled toward the clown, but Cheng Shi stood motionless, with no fear on his face.

He knew that the other party's victory was within reach, so even if they were angry, they would never vent this anger on him; even if he died, it would probably be after becoming an offering, not now.

The facts were indeed so; no matter how loud the nothingness gale was, it was just a means to scare the clown. The Outer God 【Fate】 snorted coldly, and the gale turned into a giant hand, grabbing the clown.

"You can't escape; this is your fate."

Cheng Shi's internal organs were suffering unbearable squeezing; he coughed blood and his face was ferocious:

"That's not necessarily true!"

As soon as the words fell, the straw came!

Not the straw that broke the clown, but the life-saving straw that 【Order】 extended to the clown in the drowning of despair!

Correct, 【Order】!

Following a 【Order】 sound that resounded through the sky, a balance constructed of flowing light appeared in the void; He might not be able to break through the isolation of 【Origin】's power, but He could still convene a special divine convention for the life belonging to this world!

The moment 【Justice (Order)】 descended, He pulled the gods, the convention agenda, and the clown into a brilliant starry sky together.

And what came to this starry sky was also the authority belonging to the 【Deception】 of the current world!

The power of 【Origin】 might be omnipotent, but the Outer God 【Fate】 definitely did not have endless 【Origin】 power; otherwise, He could have flipped the table long ago, letting the entire universe, the gods, and the established order follow His script.

Since He chose to use deception, it meant that He, who was impersonating 【Deception】, also had His own constraints, and this constraint was Cheng Shi's only chance of survival!

Before Cheng Shi had an audience with "Fate," all this was just a guess, but even as a guess, he had left enough backup plans; he took a gamble, and when he saw with his own eyes that the Outer God 【Fate】 still had to deal with 【Fate】 while holding the power of 【Origin】, he knew he had won the gamble.

The Outer God was not omnipotent either; at least the 【Convention】 could still limit Him—no, it should be said it limited the 【Deception】 authority on Him!

When the authority returned to the original world, it was still protected by the 【Convention】; the Outer God 【Fate】 could indeed act as a proxy for everything of the dead 【Deception】, but the premise was that He must respect the 【Convention】, respect the rules of the 【Convention】, and follow the judgment of the 【Convention】.

And the 【Origin】 power in His hands could not support Him in bypassing the 【Convention】 to act recklessly; otherwise, He would not have repeatedly used the 【Convention】 to eliminate gods who hindered the established order!

So the 【Convention】 became Cheng Shi's life-saving straw!

As for why 【Justice (Order)】 came at such a timely moment, there was of course a gambling element in it.

Everything had to start from Cheng Shi's backup plan.
