Chapter 1485: Character Side Story: [Fate] · Regarding Established Fate (I)

Character Side Story: 【Fate】 · Regarding Established Fate (I)

The 【Void】 agreement contained many things. 【Fate】, in order to take back His believer, wrote down many foreshadowings in the agreement, both openly and secretly.

【Deception】 was different. What He focused on was not Cheng Shi's future path, but how to use the agreement to "squeeze" fun out of His sibling god.

He almost wrote all His skills for annoying people into the agreement, the most representative of which was "exchanging each other's tokens."

Cheng Shi had always been curious why he had to pray and issue commands to 【Deception】 while using the 【Fate】 dice. He thought this was the price of greed, not knowing that this was actually 【Deception】's bad taste.

Of course, it wasn't all bad taste. 【Deception】 did this also to allow 【Fate】 to understand Cheng Shi's situation in time, so that when He was busy, He could let the other party help look after His believer.

After all, 【Fate】 was like this: He only needed to focus on the established fate, but 【Deception】 had too many things to consider.

The facts were indeed so.

When 【Fate】 found the established fate that met His will, His gaze never left Cheng Shi.

From the moment Cheng Shi left the starting point of fate, He had been observing this vow-breaking believer, observing his every word and action, observing his attitude toward faith, observing his growth in the game, and escorting him.

He never thought this mortal was 【Deception】's believer; He felt He was just "fostering" the believer with 【Deception】 temporarily, and sooner or later, the other party would return.

This thought had always been very firm, except... when the other party recited 【Deception】 prayers to the 【Fate】 dice.

I still remember Cheng Shi's first trial. When he escaped his teammates' attention and secretly took out the 【Fate】 dice in a small alley, whispering:

"Lies like yesterday, sneering at today.

Yesterday I deceived the believer of 【Order】, so today I am the believer of 【Order】, the priest of 【Order】, the justice official!"

As the words fell, the 【Fate】 dice had no reaction.

Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, and he cursed the dice fiercely: "Fuck."

He had been deceived; the neighbor downstairs was not a 【Order】 believer at all!

Cheng Shi was extremely irritable. He had thought he would have a perfect debut, but who knew reality had taught him another lesson; that neighbor who sounded extremely honest hadn't told him the truth either.

Another person who was extremely irritable was 【Fate】.

Hiding in an alley, holding the dice, eyes excited, whispering... every behavior here represented the importance and absolute "closeness" of the command issuer to the Lord.

However, what He heard and what He saw were completely different. When 【Fate】 was admiring Cheng Shi's caution in the trial, 【Deception】's prayer had already drifted into His ears.

"Lies like yesterday......"

"......"

【Fate】's good mood was gone in an instant.

In the void where no one cared, cold wind overflowed, almost crushing the void. A pair of cold eyes stared fixedly at the figure in the trial. At that moment, He wished He could kill His way into the trial, stuff the 【Fate】 dice back into the believer's hand, force him to correct his words, and say with extreme piety:

"Fate is like the stars, looking but unable to reach."

Unfortunately, all of this was a delusion.

The 【Void】 agreement limited 【Fate】's performance. At that time, He still wanted to abide by the agreement with His sibling god; after all, 【Void】 should be of one heart.

Hmm, "should be."

【Fate】 did not convey Cheng Shi's first command to 【Deception】, because He knew 【Deception】 must have already been watching here. This was the believer's first trial, and also a trial personally bestowed by 【Deception】; the other party would definitely not miss it.

Since 【Deception】 saw it, there was naturally no need to convey it.

Besides this, 【Fate】 also had His own thoughts. A failed command was a good opportunity. From the perspective of fate, this was not necessarily a response to a side track.

He wanted to know what choice His believer would make when fate moved toward "misfortune," and how he would pull fate back to the right track. This was something He needed to examine, so He was very expectant about this failed command.

Even for this expectation, He found 【Deception】 in the void early on and strictly forbade the other party from helping.

Regarding this, 【Deception】 sneered and turned to leave.

He no longer cared whether Cheng Shi would pass the trial. As long as 【Fate】 was there, at least the clown wouldn't die.

However, Cheng Shi's performance next was a model of a "liar." He didn't need to borrow 【Deception】's power at all; just with that glib tongue, he deceived all his teammates.

He didn't use faith at all throughout the process, yet he was offering to 【Deception】 at every moment. This "betrayal" behavior made 【Fate】 increasingly angry, so much so that after the trial ended, He found 【Deception】 again and fought the other party.

"...... Are you sick?" 【Deception】 was annoyed and cursed.

【Fate】's eyes were cold, ready to go: "You really want to fight!"

"......"

Hearing this sentence, even 【Deception】, who was good at finding fault, was choked.

What else was there to say? Fight.

【Void】 fought into a ball again.

Since then, there had been many similar things:

Cheng Shi suffered a loss in the 【Prosperity】 trial, 【Fate】 fought 【Prosperity】;

Cheng Shi lost a prop in the 【Annihilation】 trial, 【Fate】 fought 【Annihilation】;

Cheng Shi gained nothing in the 【Silence】 trial, 【Fate】 fought 【Silence】;

Cheng Shi passed the trial honestly in the 【Order】 trial, 【Fate】 fought...... 【Deception】.

Because He knew Cheng Shi was not an honest person at all. He wasn't judged by 【Order】's will, which meant he had once again offered to 【Deception】 with a deception that covered himself. Regarding this, 【Fate】 was very angry, and 【Deception】 was very "aggrieved."

"My believer offered to me with a deception, and it's still my fault?"

Although 【Deception】 argued with reason, He still couldn't escape a fight.

【Fate】 put all His strength into it, seemingly venting all the "lies like yesterday" He had heard into every fight.

However, what was interesting was that even if He kept listening, kept being annoyed, and kept fighting, when Cheng Shi's next trial began, He would still hang high above the void, watching the believer's every word and action.

His purpose was very pure: before the believer returned to 【Fate】's path, He absolutely could not tolerate any accidents happening to the other party.

Cheng Shi was also "promising." Just with that attitude of letting things rot, the logic of mixing scores, the strategy of hugging big thighs, and the flexibility and agility that could always save the scene at the end, even if he gained nothing in some trials, and sometimes even lost money, he never had any accidents.

That was enough.

Watching all the way, 【Fate】's patience was also being worn away. He sometimes even wondered if He had found the wrong established fate at the beginning?

Otherwise, why was this believer so compatible with 【Deception】, even compatible to the point where sometimes He could see the shadow of that annoying sibling god on the other party.

"...... It must be because he is the established fate, so he is compatible with all faiths."

【Fate】 didn't know how many times He had comforted Himself like this. ===== CHAPTER 1486 =====
