Chapter 1388: Talk of [Filth and Corruption]

Talk of 【Filth and Corruption】

Cheng Shi was terrified, but for the sake of stability, he gritted his teeth and refused to let go.

Even though he knew 【Death】 was the most trustworthy of the Fear Sect, since 【Deception】 hadn't chosen to tell the other party, he couldn't let it slip either.

Sensing Cheng Shi's persistence, 【Death】 already understood the Clown's thoughts.

He withdrew the fake fire that couldn't burn living beings, his tone becoming disgusted again.

"You, and, your benefactor, the scent, is becoming, more and more, similar.

Similar, to the point of, disgust."

"Thank you for the compliment." Cheng Shi didn't feel ashamed; instead, he felt honored.

"......"

The bone throne beneath the giant skull creaked, as if countless small skulls were gnashing their teeth. Facing 【Nothingness】, He had never had a way, and now that 【Nothingness】 was gone, facing 【Nothingness】's established fate, He similarly had no way; He could neither hit nor scold.

This "impotent rage" lasted for a moment, eventually turning into a sigh.

"He, has He, become infected, with any, trouble?"

"!"

The word "infected" was very interesting!

Cheng Shi, who was still secretly happy, immediately became serious. He looked at the boss and said with a solemn face, "My lord, I wanted to ask you about this.

You have already guessed that my benefactor went to such great lengths to escape some predicament, so do you know where this predicament comes from?"

While Cheng Shi was speaking, his eyes kept frequently looking up at the sky. 【Death】 naturally understood what he meant. After a long silence, He nodded slightly:

"I, have roughly, guessed, some."

A flash of light appeared in Cheng Shi's eyes. He stopped beating around the bush and said: "It's 【Filth and Corruption】, right?"

"......"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the Fish Bone Hall suddenly became solemn. An invisible force of 【Death】 instantly transformed into a high wall, enveloping the entire hall, and then miserable green bone fire directly ignited the void, shielding all external probing.

Only with such caution did the giant skull respond:

"I, also, think so.

Since, 【Deception】, went deep into, the Sea of Desire, He, no longer, like, before, contacted, Me, often.

His plan, was no longer, exposed, not even, 【Silence】, knew, the truth.

Perhaps, only, 【Time】, understands the inside story, but 【Time】, also refused, to respond, to this.

At that time, I, knew, 【Deception】, probably, had, a problem.

And the crux, of it, lies, in, the Sea of Desire!"

"!"

Cheng Shi wasn't surprised. Although this was the first time he had definitively known 【Deception】 had entered the Sea of Desire, the Clowns had long speculated about this.

"My lord, when did 【Deception】 go to the Sea of Desire?"

The giant skull recalled:

"After the Convention of the Gods concerning the 【Annihilation】 Throne, He, took away, 【Sin of Desirelessness】, and entered, the Sea of Desire, together with the other party.

I, worried, about His safety, so, I guarded, the side of the Sea of Desire, and saw, with My own eyes, Him, return, in silence."

"!!!"

It matched!

When Poison met Delahierco, it was indeed during that period when 【Deception】 entered the Sea of Desire. Before, it was all speculation, but now it was finally confirmed.

Just as the Clowns speculated, the 【Filth and Corruption】 in the Sea of Desire must have used some means to "pollute" 【Deception】. This pollution definitely wasn't a tug-of-war of desires, because it remained to be seen whether the one hiding in the Sea of Desire was actually 【Filth and Corruption】.

Cheng Shi had many doubts in his heart. He didn't know whether he should ask, but it was really uncomfortable not to ask when the conversation had reached this point. So, taking advantage of 【Death】 personally shielding everything, he boldly asked a few questions.

"My lord, is 【Filth and Corruption】 truly 【Filth and Corruption】?"

"?"

Upon first hearing this, 【Death】 clearly didn't follow, but soon He realized what Cheng Shi was saying. The entire skull trembled violently, and He buzzed in an extremely solemn tone:

"I, understand, what you, mean.

Regarding this, I, have not, been without, strange thoughts.

But, since ancient times, the gods, have kept, 【Filth and Corruption】, at a distance. No one knows, what secrets, are hidden, in the Sea of Desire.

All, the gods, who entered, the Sea of Desire, have had, problems.

【Order】, directly, split, within, the Sea of Desire;

【War】, changed, His temper, and began, to endure, in silence;

【Deception】, no longer, communicated, His plans, with, anyone...

Judging by this, the pollution, that can make, gods, change, their normal state... what you, are thinking, is not, without, possibility."

Cheng Shi, having received confirmation, tightened his expression and asked again:

"Then do you think that the one in the Sea of Desire could be... 【Origin】!"

"!!??"

"Boom—"

Green flames roared, enveloping everything, and Cheng Shi's field of vision turned scorching white.

The giant skull took a long time to emerge from the endless flames again, scooped up the scorched Cheng Shi, and said in a deep voice:

"Absolutely, impossible!

If, it truly were, 【Him】, the gods', end, would not be, distortion, but, annihilation, and death!

You have seen, 【His】, power, that is not, a joke, it is, fatal, poison."

Cheng Shi had of course seen it, but he shook his head and said:

"My lord, you misunderstood my meaning.

I am not saying that the complete 【Origin】 is hidden in the Sea of Desire. Could it be that there is a... 'wounded' or 'in poor condition' 【Origin】 hidden there?

Is the throne that 【He】 asked 【Nothingness】 to piece together the key to 【Him】 finding His power?"

"?"

【Death】 was stunned. "What throne?"

"......"

Well, the Clowns had started discussing the significance of the throne, but 【Death】 didn't even know what 【Nothingness】's established fate was.

【Deception】 had kept it well hidden.

Cheng Shi was helpless and could only explain the matter of the throne first. Then he saw the giant skull freeze straight on the bone throne, looking down at the 【Death】 throne beneath Him, murmuring:

"So, 【He】, was seeking, a, throne......"

But immediately after, the giant skull looked at Cheng Shi and said in a deep voice:

"I, know your, thoughts, they are exactly like, your benefactor's.

But, the Sea of Desire, is not, a place, that anyone, can go!

Especially, you!

Do not, have, any, delusions, that you shouldn't have!

Even if, 【He】, is really, weak, and hiding, there, it is not, something, you, can confront."

"......"

He had been seen through.

Cheng Shi's mouth twitched, he awkwardly averted his gaze and muttered softly, "I didn't think about it, gods have folded inside, I'm just a mortal, how would I dare to go.

But then again, my lord, what if only mortals can be immune to this kind of pollution?"

"You still dare, to have delusions!"

【Death】 was angry. Endless green flames enveloped Cheng Shi again. This time it wasn't just posturing; the scorching bone fire re-forged Cheng Shi into a bright little skull.

"......"

Scared, scared, won't think about it, won't think about it.

Cheng Shi hopped on the bone stairs begging for mercy, while in his heart he was thinking about how to uncover the secrets in the Sea of Desire.

He definitely couldn't go in, and the gods on his side couldn't take the risk either. But excluding them, there weren't many gods left in this Universe who could go in and find out.

【Birth】?

They were opponents. Letting 【Birth】, who was focused on giving birth, go for a swim in the Sea of Desire—that scene was simply unimaginable. Not to mention going, even if he just opened his mouth to ask, he was afraid he would be whipped to death by the 【Divine Pillar】.

But excluding 【Birth】, it seemed only 【Foolishness】 was left who could go in.

【Foolishness】 wasn't a god easy to fool. Would He go in?

Or had the wisest 【Foolishness】 in the Universe already been to the Sea of Desire?

?

Wait!

Cheng Shi blinked, a thought flashing through his mind.

Could 【Foolishness】's authority...? ===== CHAPTER 1389 =====
