Chapter 1483: Character Side Story: [Deception] · Fool

Character Side Story: 【Deception】 · Fool's Play Before the Curtain (II)

How clever 【Fate】 was—no, it should be said how well He understood His sibling god. When 【Deception】 said these words, He already knew what the other party was going to say next.

Sure enough, 【Deception】's next sentence began to explain for "His own believer":

"It cannot be denied that he did choose your token 'before,' but that is already in the past tense.

Perhaps you will say that time has no meaning to the gods, but the protagonists of this game are mortals, and for mortals, time has great meaning.

Even if time advances by the smallest unit, that still counts as the past of a mortal being. If you do not agree, you can go and consult 【Memory】.

Hmm? Why that expression? Want to fight?

Fighting always requires a justified reason. In this matter, I do not feel anyone has done wrong. My believer—oh no, it should be your believer—merely broke a vow too early at the starting point of fate and then chose the correct faith suitable for him.

Hmm, this shows he has good judgment.

Breaking a vow is one of the game rules. If I remember correctly, there is no clause stating that one cannot break a vow at the starting point of fate, right?"

"......"

【Fate】 had already muted His mic. It was not His voice that responded to 【Deception】, but the endless cold wind surging in the void.

He looked at those annoying eyes and said coldly, word by word: "Do you want to fight?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, can't argue theoretically, so you start using your hands?"

"Hmph, sophistry is useless. He is not the only one who mixed faith at the starting point of fate; others have long been put to death by the rules. 【Deception】, do you really want to break the rules to protect him?"

【Deception】 remained unmoved, still insisting: "I said, he is different from them. He just broke his vow a bit faster. As for those others, well, they died because they died."

"You......!!!"

More words were useless. When 【Deception】's words fell, 【Fate】 had already struck.

Above the void, invisible to everyone, a shocking 【Void】 civil war erupted. Regarding this, mortals were ignorant, and the gods were not surprised.

After all, 【Void】 was inherently this void.

The fight was a real fight, not a performance for outsiders.

【Fate】 was extremely angry. This mortal's choice could have become a "weapon" for Him to mock His sibling god, yet now this weapon had tiptoed into 【Deception】's hands, turning into a sharp blade for the other party to ridicule Him. This matter was hard to accept no matter who it happened to, let alone the "hot-tempered" 【Fate】.

Thus, the cold wind of the void poured toward His sibling god. 【Deception】 shuttled through 【Fate】's anger, laughing as usual, still clicking His tongue.

"It seems you care a lot about this believer of mine?

If I remember correctly, since the birth of 【Void】, in such a long era of evolution, this is the first time you have fought me for a mortal.

What, could it be that your obsession-like established fate has actually fallen upon him?

Interesting, but I still want to advise you: give up. Forced faith is only sour, never sweet."

"?"

【Deception】's words made 【Fate】 pause.

Indeed, since 【Fate】's birth, He had harbored the established will of approaching the 【Origin】. He knew He should build a throne for the great 【Origin】, but 【Fate】 had no clue how to build this throne that was higher than the gods.

It was the 【Faith Game】 proposed by 【Deception】 that gave Him inspiration. He was determined to find an "offering" in this somewhat absurd game that was extremely similar to the 【Origin】's will, and use him as a blueprint to piece together that throne.

The 【Faith Game】 had just begun, and 【Fate】 had not yet found that suitable candidate, but 【Deception】's words just now gave Him new inspiration.

One must know that to want to approach the 【Origin】 in will, one must embrace everything in faith. This meant that no matter what, that "offering" must accept 【Deception】, approach 【Deception】, and understand 【Deception】.

However, 【Fate】 knew best how rebellious His sibling god was. The other party did not want to approach the 【Origin】 at all. Wanting to make an "offering" that approached the 【Origin】 synchronize with 【Deception】's will was probably the hardest step in the so-called established fate.

But coincidentally, a solution to this problem had just appeared.

No matter for what reason 【Deception】 acted to protect that mortal, the other party had at least fabricated an excuse of "breaking a vow." Breaking a vow often meant that the path had turned into a side track, not that there was no path......

In other words, the roots of this 【Deception】 believer were still on 【Fate】's path!

In this way, as long as the believer who had once walked into 【Deception】's side track was led back to 【Fate】's path, then the difficulty of synchronizing the 【Origin】 offering with 【Deception】, who deviated from the 【Origin】, would be solved.

【Fate】 was of 【Void】 essence and could see through the reality of the universe. He calculated the path most likely to lead to the established fate, and thus instantly changed His attitude toward that mortal in the starting point of fate.

He believed He had found the established fate belonging to 【Fate】.

But He did not make it public. He knew that what followed was the key to solving the problem: how to bury the foreshadowing for the believer to return to 【Fate】 while entangled with 【Deception】. This concerned whether He could hand over a satisfactory answer to the great 【Origin】 when the era came to an end.

【Fate】 calculated secretly.

At the same time, 【Deception】, who was fighting Him, was also deep in thought.

He looked at all the starting points of fate in the entire game, and only this one mortal dared to choose to deviate from 【Fate】 at the very beginning of the game!

Of course, 【Deception】 did not want to deviate from 【Fate】, but that damn established will had killed His sibling god. If He wanted revenge, the carrier of that revenge will could not be a being who truly approached 【Fate】's will.

Thus, the moment that Cheng Shi grabbed the mask, 【Deception】 had already chosen him!

Cheng Shi, who was deeply tormented by the mask and the dice, could never have imagined that the two tokens' erosion of his life was not a punishment mechanism of the game at all, but a struggle for his believer status by the two masters of 【Void】.

They both wanted this mortal to step onto their own path of faith. As for how to walk the path in the future......

【Deception】 rolled His eyes, having already made His calculations, and said with a smile:

"Fighting like this will have no result. You can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you.

Fine, I'll lay my cards on the table. I can see your attitude toward this mortal is different, and coincidentally, I am also very interested in him.

But no matter what, he has already become my believer. I cannot let you erase him for no reason at the starting point of fate.

His future path is still long; it would be a pity for him to disappear here just like that.

State your conditions, 【Fate】. You and I both belong to 【Void】 and know each other too well. I know you can't bear to kill him." ===== CHAPTER 1484 =====
