Chapter 533: That glimmer of human brilliance

That glimmer of human brilliance.

Dezel had broken its defense. Looking at this scene, Cheng Shi let out a cold sneer in his heart.

You're wrong, Dezel. Your version is too outdated.

Your great mother has long since planned a new blueprint for the prosperity of the universe, and even laid the foundation for it, giving her authority to all the gods...

Of course, you were right about one point, and that is that this authority was indeed not shared with me by her.

Because the one who shared it with me was my friend Big Cat, not that dead mother of 【Prosperity】.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi shook his head.

Seeing the opponent's disdainful posture, Dezel was both shocked and angry.

What shocked it was that the opponent might really be that so-called 【Prosperity】 hunter, and even played the role of a scavenger in the fall of its mother; what angered it was that such an existence with strength and background was actually unwilling to cooperate with it, but instead wanted to oppose it, and even mock it in this "crushing match"!

Who exactly is he! Why does he want to do this! Why does he have to do this!

Years of grievance and the suppression of hatred all exploded at this moment. Countless negative emotions washed over this "Messenger" who had no one left to rely on, making it roar angrily:

"Why!?

Why treat me like this!

【Prosperity】 has no maternal instinct and only knows how to devour! 【Decay】 is dull and foolish and refuses to step down! They have always been for themselves, all for themselves!

Even you!

You are also for yourself. What a 【Prosperity】 hunter. What good does hunting me do for you, what good does it do for you at all!

I have never harmed you! I just want to take back what belongs to me!

Why treat me like this!?"

Dezel was crazy, truly crazy. It had lost its sanity and had already begun to ignore logic.

In the end, it was also for itself from beginning to end. Since everyone was the same, what right did it have to talk about others?

It was nothing more than whoever had the bigger fist had the final say.

However, I agree with both hands that you scold those two, but what do you mean by scolding me?

Cheng Shi sneered, his expression mocking:

"Why?

Dezel, I have never done anything to you!"

"You want to hunt me, isn't that enough!" Dezel shook the withered vines and roared crazily.

"No, no, no, you got one thing wrong. Even if I really am a 【Prosperity】 hunter, it was you who made me become a 【Prosperity】 hunter."

Cheng Shi struggled to extend a finger and shook it at Dezel, then restrained his smile and said coldly:

"Don't forget, the first lie between us was told by you first.

In the eyes of us liars, when the opponent starts lying, the invitation to a duel has already been issued, and conflict is inevitable.

With 【Deception】 above, as His believer, in a duel of lies...

I cannot lose!"

After finishing, Cheng Shi curled the corners of his mouth and bowed elegantly.

"Oh, right, forgot to introduce myself.

You can call me 【Foolish Play】. I am His Messenger, and also a hunter who hunts 【Prosperity】."

Just as the words left his lips, Cheng Shi broke free from the powerless withered vines on his hands and pinched the ring between his fingers. But just as he wanted to use the ring forged from Lele'er's divinity to finish off Lele'er's brother, Dezel screamed to stop him.

"You can't kill me, you can't kill me!

I have a contract with Nangong. If I die, she won't live either.

You know her, she also remembers you. She has a ledger of repayment, and your name is written on it!

She wants to repay you, she says you're a good person!

You can't let her die! You won't let her die!!!"

Dezel was afraid. Fear was gathering in the palace, but the problem was that Cheng Shi hadn't intended to kill it either. He had felt that this Thunder Punishment might not be able to kill the opponent; he just wanted to make the opponent more honest. But he hadn't expected that Dezel was truly afraid that Cheng Shi could kill it.

This 【Prosperity】 hunter had his mother's authority on him, as well as Lele'er's aura. It didn't dare to bet on whether the opponent's methods were fatal, because it didn't want to die; it wasn't reconciled!

However, its words did remind Cheng Shi.

A contract!

Nangong was indeed tricked into signing a contract with it. This silly girl, how much suffering did she endure under Dezel?

When others pick up a divine artifact, they take off, so why did it become a burden when it reached you?

Fortunately, you met me. For the sake of that... repayment ledger... hmm? It's the apocalypse, who still does this kind of thing? Forget it, for the sake of this so-called repayment ledger, I'll save you one more time.

I hope I guessed right; you should be wanting to get rid of it.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi smiled and gave himself a few healing spells. Dezel had already stopped. Knowing that it couldn't kill Cheng Shi, it didn't waste its power anymore.

Cheng Shi recovered his state, and then took out a... bizarre tongue from his portable space.

"Tsk, speaking of which, the contract of the 【Desolate Walker】, which is your shell, was also eaten by my Brother Tongue.

I think the contract you signed with Nangong is probably the same rhetoric as the one you just used to trick me, and that means the contract is fake.

Brother Tongue, you're in luck, extra meal today!"

The Tongue of Lying instantly got into the spirit, twisting its tip and spinning in Cheng Shi's palm.

"Where, where is the extra meal? Hurry up and serve the food!"

Where?

I also want to know where?

Cheng Shi held Brother Tongue in his hands and looked at Dezel, only to see Dezel's countless wax eyes shrink tightly, terrified to the extreme:

"What do you want to do? I won't let you break my contract! Nangong won't agree to break the contract with me!

Without me, she will immediately die in the trials of the gods!

It was me, it was me who saved her so many times!"

"..."

This was indeed a problem. Cheng Shi frowned, feeling that it was better not to dispose of such things behind the person involved. Besides, if he didn't wake Nangong up, he seemed to have nowhere to find the contract.

Thus, he tucked Brother Tongue into his waist, and then cast a Purification Spell on Nangong.

Nangong woke up. She frowned tightly, feeling that it was a bit uncomfortable under her body. And when she opened her eyes and saw the 【Gift of Scars】 in her hand showing a fighting posture, her whole body trembled violently.

Especially when she saw that the enemy opposite this dagger seemed to be Cheng Shi...

At that moment, Nangong didn't know where she got the strength. She gritted her teeth and climbed up, instantly spreading her hands to protect Cheng Shi, and looked at the 【Gift of Scars】 in a fighting posture with firm pleading and begging:

"Don't kill him, I beg you, don't kill him, he saved me!"

"..."

"..."

Cheng Shi smiled, smiling happily.

Seeing this scene, he truly felt his heart warmed for a moment. This made him think of the day Old Jia moved a whole box of cola back for him, making him feel the trust and warmth of the human world once again.

What a silly girl, even though he had drugged her again, she still protected him.

He looked at Nangong's thin back with soft eyes and said softly, "Thank you, thank you, Nangong."

Nangong's mind was still blank, but she knew she must not let the 【Gift of Scars】 hurt Cheng Shi. Even if she couldn't repay the kindness, how could she harm someone else?

Even if the opponent discovered the secret in her hand, he... is a good person. He shouldn't tell anyone, he shouldn't!

Thinking of this, Nangong clenched her fists, her eyes becoming even firmer.

The glimmer of human nature shone brightly at this moment in the palace of the Rosna Imperial Court.

Looking at the "inhumane villain" Dezel... it couldn't laugh at all.

No, Nangong, who are you protecting!?

You should be protecting me!!

The one who is going to die is me, damn it!!!

But Dezel was already deep in despair and powerless to remind her, because at this very moment, its countless wax eyes saw the tongue that Cheng Shi had tucked into his waist suddenly jump onto Nangong, and then...

"Pa—"

It slapped Nangong hard in the face.

Nangong was stunned. She covered her face in disbelief, frozen on the spot.

But just as she was stunned, a "click" sound suddenly rang out around her, and then the invisible contract shattered.

From this moment on, someone gained freedom, and someone gained... self-imprisonment.

"Slurp, a snack doesn't count as a meal." Although he said that, the Tongue of Lying still twisted with satisfaction.

Cheng Shi sneered:

"Tsk, interesting.

Are you going to take it back yourself, or should I help you pull out these withered branches and rotten fruits, hmm? Dezel."

"..."

"!!!"

Just as his words fell, the 【Gift of Scars】 turned back into a dagger again. It wasn't that it didn't want to resist, but one must learn to judge the situation. It knew it had already lost, so it only sought to exchange submission for a better ending.

And Nangong, seeing this scene, was stunned again.

She covered her face, which was white with a hint of red, and turned to look at Cheng Shi in disbelief. When she realized that the "villain" at the scene was actually this Scion Priest...

The silly girl's sky collapsed. ===== CHAPTER 534 =====
