Chapter 1338: Sudden Change!

Sudden Change!

Fear, endless fear!

When 【Chaos】 shouted that one word, 【Origin】, the entire void seemed to twist for a moment.

Never mind the three mortals in the archive whose hair stood on end; even the giant skull watching everything from outside the void could no longer sit still!

【Death】 appeared directly above the 【Memory】 archive. Facing the giant hand of 【Chaos】—whose divine power was gathering and whose authority was gradually recovering—He drew the 【Death】 scythe, dripping with divinity, without a moment's hesitation.

The situation instantly cooled to the freezing point, yet the void boiled violently. A divine war was on the verge of breaking out; whether the fuse would ignite depended entirely on what 【Chaos】 actually wanted to do.

However, 【Chaos】 did not know what He wanted to do either.

He was the collection of all disorder in the world, the helpless cry of the lost after 【Civilization】 came to an end, and the powerless wail of the clear-headed at the beginning of 【Chaos】.

He only knew that 【Origin】 had created Him; this was His only connection to this world, and He wanted to get closer to 【Origin】.

【Deception】 had promised Him that as long as He replaced 【Order】, He could see 【Origin】.

He had agreed, but what now?

【Deception】 was gone, 【Origin】 was gone, and the plan to replace 【Order】 had failed. What was He supposed to do next?

The will resonating with the lost gained the upper hand for a moment, making 【Chaos】 even more chaotic. Seeing 【Death】 descend and sensing abnormal danger, the muddy yellow giant hand, in shock and anger, transformed into a palm and slapped directly toward the Fish Bone Hall.

However, having only just recovered His divine power, He was no match for 【Death】, who had long resided in a divine position. The divine scythe merely swung lightly, parrying the attack of the muddy yellow giant hand and slicing all the chaotic yellow fog in the void in two!

"Boom—"

As the power of 【Death】 swept past, a chasm that could never be closed again suddenly split open in the void. Green flames capable of burning everything to ash surged out from that rift, which resembled an abyssal hell, instantly burning and scorching the surrounding chaotic yellow fog to nothing.

"Why!

Why is it 【Death】!

I do not want to see 【Death】, I want to see 【Origin】!

【Origin】, come out and see Me!"

The muddy yellow giant hand let out a heaven-shaking roar. Its sound was like grief and like anger, wrapped in noise that drove people mad upon hearing it. This sound of 【Chaos】 might not have been able to affect 【Death】, but it caused the three unlucky ghosts in the archive to all clutch their heads and kneel on the ground, twitching uncontrollably.

Even though Li Wufang possessed the power of 【Order】, he could not resist the "pollution" from the gods. He knew this audience would definitely go sideways, but he hadn't expected that the "Order" they were meeting wouldn't self-destruct on the spot, but instead start fighting another god.

"Boss, I can't take it anymore, purify me..."

"This is divine sound, the screeching of 【Chaos】. Do you think this is a trick of 【Chaos】 believers that can be purified..."

Cheng Shi was also rolling on the ground. Everyone is equal before divine might. Under the gaze of 【Death】, he might not die, but that didn't mean he wouldn't suffer.

"It's worth a try, what if His divine power just recovered and isn't as strong as we imagined..."

"Endure it!" Cheng Shi gritted his teeth and stopped speaking.

Li Jingming, rolling to the side, didn't look very dignified either, but upon hearing Cheng Shi's words, the corner of his mouth still curled into a slight arc. This could be considered the only pleasure in this torture.

The struggle between 【Chaos】 and 【Death】 continued. The commotion caused by the two gods was not small, but compared to the previous 【Nothingness】 civil war, it could only be called a light drizzle.

The divine power of 【Chaos】 had not reached its peak, and 【Death】 did not strike with lethal intent. He only continuously swung His scythe, severing the power the opponent extended toward the 【Memory】 archive, and kept a constant eye on the other's words and actions to avoid summoning the "gaze" from outside the universe.

The giant skull did not take the weakened 【Chaos】 seriously; what He was truly guarding against were accidents and the unknown from the real universe.

No one could be certain whether the cries of 【Chaos】 would draw the gaze of 【Origin】. Although 【Death】 felt it wouldn't, in this abstract era, He dared not gamble.

Especially not when the Fixed was present.

Yet, because of this, the confrontation between the two gods seemed to become a performance on stage: one improvising without any structure, the other standing ready, fearing a loss of composure.

If this insane scene had happened at any other time, Cheng Shi would only be clutching his stomach and pounding the floor, but now, even though he was clutching his stomach and pounding the floor, there was not a hint of a smile on his face, only pain and distortion.

However, beneath this pain and distortion, a trace of shrewdness was hidden on the clown's face.

Even so, he was still calculating the current situation and saw the clues to this absurd divine war.

The chaotic yellow fog continuously surging toward the top of the archive did not look at all like it had re-condensed after the will of 【Chaos】 became clear; it looked more like someone was continuously "sending" this power of 【Chaos】 back.

And who else could do this besides 【Deception】, who had long since usurped the divine throne of 【Chaos】?

This is a very subtle point in time; returning everything of 【Chaos】 while 【Chaos】 is lucid—who would believe the God of Fun has no ulterior motive?

Cheng Shi hasn't forgotten that his identity as a 【Chaos】 Messenger was "personally acknowledged" by 【Chaos】, who was about to become 【Order】!

In that case, could this current, similar scene be exactly what the God of Fun wishes to see?

His plan was a winning bet!

A sharp glint flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes; at this very moment, the returning chaotic yellow mist reached its peak density.

【Chaos】, having lost and regained its authority, suddenly woke up, its will briefly switching back from the bewildered state to the lucid one.

It withdrew all divine power and retreated quietly, putting some distance between itself and 【Death】. Looking at the brilliant divinity on the Scythe of 【Death】, 【Chaos】 said nothing, only laughed maniacally.

"I have been deceived."

Its voice returned to order, the tone even identical to the 【Iron Law of Order】. If not for the murky yellow giant hand still swaying in the yellow mist, one would think 【Order】 had descended just by hearing it.

"Replacing 【Order】 was nothing but a scheme by 【Deception】. It wanted to stay far from 【Origin】, yet it had to borrow my hand to do so.

To think I trusted it so much; how could it treat me this way!"

After saying only this, the lucid will collapsed with a roar, and the wails of the bewildered state sang out once more. All the yellow mist in the void boiled, and distortion and abstraction re-polluted the entire space.

"I want to see 【Origin】!

I have succeeded; I want to see 【Origin】!"

As soon as the words fell, the yellow mist fell silent for a second. "Since it has wronged me, I will no longer show it any consideration!

I know what it is doing, and I will make it fail completely!"

Then it boiled again. "Ah—【Origin】, come out and see me!

I am 【Order】, the 【Order】 you personally bestowed!"

Immediately, it calmed down again.

"Since the Fixed has never wanted to be the Fixed, then let the Fixed become me!

Hahahaha!

The Fixed is me, I am the Fixed; 【Origin】 likes the Fixed, 【Origin】 likes me!"

The chaotic yellow mist changed infinitely, boiling and stilling, twisted to the extreme. When the power of 【Chaos】 resonated to its peak, even with the 【Memory】 Archive as a barrier, the three mortals began to murmur along unconsciously inside the archive.

"The Fixed is me, I am the Fixed; 【Origin】 likes the Fixed, 【Origin】 likes me!

【Origin】, come out and see me!

I am 【Order】, the 【Order】 you personally bestowed!"

Green flames roared in the eye sockets of the giant skull. Watching everything before it, the unease in its heart grew increasingly intense.

It was not surprised by 【Chaos】 acting this way—after all, this was the true 【Chaos】—but the problem was, what did those ravings mean? Was 【Chaos】 truly willing to risk its own death to pollute the Fixed?

【Death】 dared not gamble. Its gaze fixed, the Fish Bone Hall transformed directly into a torrent of white bones, sweeping toward Cheng Shi; it had to take Cheng Shi away from this dangerous place.

However, it was too late!

Just as the torrent of white bones soared into the sky, 【Chaos】 also moved!

Taking advantage of its rare lucid will, the murky yellow giant hand pointed at Cheng Shi, roaring madly:

"I bestow upon him the status of Messenger, holding the authority of 【Chaos】, and permit him to inherit everything of mine!

【Deception】, I know your methods, but there are some things even you cannot defy!

Because, this is the Final Edict!

Hahahaha, let this universe fall into chaos with me!

Let this world lose order forever!

【Origin】, the Fixed is me, I am the Fixed, come out and see me!!!"

"Boom—"

At this moment...

Mist surged like a tide, the void roared;

Chaos disintegrated, the dust settled!
