Chapter 531: [Gift of Scars]: Dezel!

【Gift of Scars】: Dezel!

The smoke gradually dissipated, and the scene fell silent. No one responded to Cheng Shi.

But Cheng Shi was not surprised at all. He just cautiously retreated a few steps, then stared at Nangong, who was becoming clearer in the fog, his brows furrowed tightly.

In fact, he wasn't sure if there was another entity at the scene, but he guessed there was, because based on the reaction speed Nangong had just shown, it was impossible for her to have heard his light-footed approach in the wind and snow.

So someone or something must have reminded her.

But the strangest thing was, since this thing could remind her, why didn't it remind her again when he approached again or even threw the smoke-cola?

Cheng Shi thought about it and could only think of one reason: that this unknown entity's notification method wasn't a mental whisper like the one he used to communicate with Brother Mouth, but a "speech" that couldn't be hidden from others. Only in this way would the opponent stop reminding her after he approached—it wasn't that it didn't want to, but it didn't dare; it didn't dare to expose itself!

Based on this thought, Cheng Shi made the probe just now, but this probe sank like a stone in the ocean.

However, Cheng Shi wasn't in a hurry. His gaze wandered over Nangong's body, and before long, he noticed the hand she had folded and pressed under her body. If nothing went wrong, she should be holding a dagger in her hand. As for whether this dagger was the one he was thinking of...

Cheng Shi decided to increase the intensity and try again.

He didn't dare to approach Nangong to prevent any accidents, but not approaching her didn't mean he couldn't move her body. Thus, Cheng Shi reached out his hand again and pinched the ring between his fingers.

Yes, he was preparing to send Nangong a Thunder Punishment.

Of course, as a friend, after the opponent was blasted away, he would find a chance to resurrect her. It was just that there was no way to move her right now, so he had to let the opponent suffer a little grievance first.

But just the moment he reached out his hand, this "inhumane" probe finally received a response!

"... It's the aura of Lele'er. She really did have problems too...

You, boy, why do you carry her aura?"

"!!!"

Cheng Shi was shocked. Although he had already prepared himself mentally, telling himself that this unknown entity was very likely the 【Gift of Scars】 formed by Dezel's soul, when this voice truly sounded from under Nangong, he was still stunned for a moment!

There really was someone!

What did the opponent say? It said "Lele'er." Just based on these three words, it was basically certain that the opponent was Dezel!

This legendary 【Gift of Scars】 was actually in the hands of a priest player with only a thousand-plus points!

How did she get it?

Where did she get it from?

If it was on the way here, then her every move couldn't have escaped the Chameleon's notice. But if it was here... it seemed to be different from the facts before the time reset.

Cheng Shi couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dwell on it too much. The person involved—no, the soul involved—was right in front of him; wild guessing wasn't as good as asking directly. Thus, he suppressed the shock and joy in his heart, and instead chuckled as if he weren't surprised at all:

"Dezel, you're finally willing to show yourself."

"The name Dezel has long since passed away, no need to mention it. Boy, you haven't answered my question yet."

"Why should I answer your question?"

"?" Dezel paused for a moment, then laughed out loud. "You have great courage, worthy of being the fated person who could find me. I know you all came to find me, nothing more than to master the method of becoming a god.

Not bad! I do indeed have a set of methods to become a god, but this method cannot be realized without my help.

Boy, if you want to break free from the shackles of the gods and become an existence like them, you only need to sign this contract with me. After I take my revenge, you will be able to...

Ascend to the throne of God!

How about it? Do you have the courage to challenge them?"

"?"

Now it was Cheng Shi's turn to be stunned. The Master of Deception was indeed useless against them, but the problem was that there was no need for the Master of Deception anymore. Anyone who had been tricked could hear how ridiculous this rhetoric was.

What "sign a contract, ascend to the throne of God"... Big brother, do you think I'm Qu Yan?

Isn't your method of trickery a bit outdated?

What era is this, and you're still playing the old grandfather inside a dagger?

Besides, your mother 【Prosperity】 died before the gods, your benefactor 【Decay】 refused your following, and you even had your last shell ruined by 【Truth】. You're a lonely soul, what are you bragging about here?

If you had a way to become a god, wouldn't you have already overthrown 【Decay】, killed your mother 【Prosperity】, and taken revenge on 【Truth】?

Why would you have fallen to such a state?

Cheng Shi wanted to laugh. This Dezel had perhaps been isolated from the world for too long; its words were full of flaws, and even that first sentence exposed a lot of information.

What did it mean that Lele'er "also" had problems? Who else could this scion of 【Prosperity】 who had turned into the Fear Mother Tree be compared to with an "also"? Even if there were, wasn't it Dezel himself, who was also a scion of 【Prosperity】!

So it wasn't hard to infer that it was precisely because of the fall of 【Prosperity】 that the scions of 【Prosperity】 were perhaps facing huge changes, and negative ones at that. And Dezel's exclamation probably stemmed from this.

Thinking through these things, Cheng Shi smiled—truly smiled.

He looked under Nangong and sneered:

"Then I'd like to ask, this path to godhood in your hands—could it be that it can help me sit on that throne of God left empty after your mother's fall?"

"!!!!!"

Dezel was shocked, its soul trembling violently!

It never knew that there would be a player who knew about the fall of 【Prosperity】. Yes, it did indeed have some bad changes because of the fall of 【Prosperity】, but in the eyes of mortals, it should still be one of those unreachable existences.

So, after realizing that Nangong had run into a smart person, it calculated its thoughts on this smart person again.

It had been with Nangong for a long time. Although Nangong wasn't very ambitious, for Dezel, slowly cultivating a host it knew inside and out wasn't a bad thing. At least within the time scale that humans could understand, it wasn't in a hurry.

But it had never thought that 【Prosperity】 would fall. This sudden upheaval disrupted all its layouts, making it urgently need a new host with drive and execution ability to help it complete some plans.

It had its eye on Cheng Shi, not knowing that Cheng Shi also had his eye on it. It was just that this feeling of mutual pursuit wasn't quite right—one side was like a butcher looking for a knife, and the other side was like a customer picking and choosing meat.

Cheng Shi didn't care if the meat was fresh or not; what he cared about was that this meat had to be able to get onto his chopping block and wouldn't resist!

Thus, he exploded with a bit of news, scaring Dezel big time!

"You... who are you?"

Cheng Shi smiled, striking while the iron was hot:

"Who am I?

A 【Prosperity】 hunter!

I don't know if you've heard of me, but it doesn't matter. At least now you know.

I witnessed the fall of 【Prosperity】 with my own eyes and watched the gods divide her authority;

I pulled out Lele'er's tree roots with my own hands and cast her divinity into a ring...

And now, I've found the soul of the only remaining pulse of 【Prosperity】. Tsk tsk tsk, tell me, what should I make you into, De... zel?"

Just as the words left his lips, Cheng Shi felt the last slot of his ring being filled.

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow.

Heh, it believed it. ===== CHAPTER 532 =====
