Chapter 544

No, again?

Cheng Shi slept very soundly this time.

To be honest, since the 【Faith Game】 descended, he had never rested so unguardedly, but this time, as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt a drowsy sleepiness directly envelop him, making him sink into a deep sleep he couldn't extricate himself from.

It wasn't until he had slept enough that he woke up faintly, but waking up didn't mean opening his eyes. After he couldn't realize how long he had slept, Cheng Shi's heart sank. Without moving his eyelids, he quietly gripped the ring in his hand.

This is not right, extremely not right.

Cheng Shi knew he wouldn't sleep so soundly; the only thing that could make him have this performance would be external influence, so he was afraid that after 【Memory】 left, something unclean had come.

But he listened intently for a long time without hearing any strange sounds. The surroundings were very quiet, with absolutely no unusual noise...

Wait!

This is the rooftop of a building, how could there be absolutely no sound?

Even if the neighbors around didn't make any noise, what about the wind? It's impossible for such a high floor not to have the sound of wind!

Oh no, this is not the rooftop!

Cheng Shi was shocked. He opened his eyes abruptly, his sharp gaze quickly scanning everything before him: the room, the palace, the stone pillars, the graffiti-style carvings, the familiar muddy yellow color...

Hmm?

Why does this place look like...

"My lord, you are awake."

"!!!???"

The sudden voice startled Cheng Shi. Just as he was about to jump back, he found an acquaintance bumping into his field of vision.

Ke Ta Luo!

This Chaos Sprout believer who acted as his messenger just appeared in front of him with a smile.

【Chaos Temple】!

He actually appeared in the 【Chaos Temple】!?

For a moment, Cheng Shi's tense heart actually returned to his stomach. He seemed to feel that he probably wouldn't be harmed here, at least like in the void, he had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with this place.

But soon he became vigilant again, slowly stood up, quietly sized up the surroundings, and then asked with a deep frown:

"Was it you just now?"

Ke Ta Luo seemed to know what Cheng Shi was asking. He nodded respectfully: "Yes, my lord, you looked too tired and needed to rest."

"..." You're actually a pretty good guy, but don't do this next time, I'm scared.

Cheng Shi let out a sigh of relief, but then he realized something was wrong and said in astonishment:

"How long have I slept? No, when did I come?"

Ke Ta Luo smiled: "My lord, you have always been sleeping here."

"???" Cheng Shi was stunned. "You mean 【Memory】... He just left, and I was pulled over by you?"

Ke Ta Luo shook his head:

"No, my lord, the benefactor summoned you. The moment you left the trial, He brought you here."

"Ah? No, but I..."

"But you met 【Memory】."

"!!!" Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, and his gaze became sharp. "You know? You saw it! He summoned me here? In the Chaos Temple!?"

Ke Ta Luo nodded respectfully, then shook his head:

"Yes, my lord, 【Existence】 can turn everything into existence. He did indeed summon you in the benefactor's temple.

However, I did not witness that legendary scene, nor could I appreciate your demeanor in front of 【Memory】. All of this was told to me by the benefactor; He said you needed to rest."

"..."

Such a sycophant!

It's a good thing you didn't see it, otherwise you'd know what kind of person the Ultraman lord you revere really is.

Almost peed my pants!

Not bad, at least the persona was preserved.

But... who cares about the damn persona! The fact that 【Memory】 summoned him in the 【Chaos Temple】 is too weird!

What is this?

【Chaos】 and 【Memory】 reached an agreement?

On His turf, He couldn't possibly not hear what 【Memory】 said!

No wonder his calls for help had no response; they were all blocked by 【Chaos】, how could there be any response!?

What does 【Chaos】 want?

Seeing 【Memory】 sowing discord between him and the two gods of 【Void】, He just went with the flow and helped Him?

Is He still waiting for him to admit his identity as Ultraman?

"..."

If his guesses were all true, then 【Chaos】... what is He plotting?

There is no kindness without cause in this world, and his identity was even fabricated by 【Deception】, so why is He so concerned about a "fake" identity that was fabricated?

Just because of chaos?

Cheng Shi's brain began to spin wildly again. He looked at the high sky of the temple with a slightly heavy expression and asked:

"Is He... here?"

Ke Ta Luo's expression became even more respectful. He bowed his head piously: "He is here, He has always been here."

"..." Cheng Shi's eye twitched, thinking to himself, what a familiar sentence.

Sure enough, as Ke Ta Luo's voice fell, the temple before Cheng Shi began to change dramatically.

The dome disintegrated into mist, the stone pillars twisted into circles, the carvings scattered like snow, and the floor rippled like waves. A giant hand made of mist suddenly stretched out from the chaotic yellow mist rolling above their heads, parted the dome to the left and right, reached in front of Cheng Shi, gently lifted him up, and threw him into the endless yellow mist.

Cheng Shi only felt his body lighten, and he was thrown out fiercely. His consciousness couldn't even keep up with the speed of his body, leaving his brain blank for a moment.

When his consciousness recovered, he found himself on a platform held up by rolling, boiling chaotic yellow mist. This platform was the one at the entrance of the 【Chaos Divine Rank】 when Cheng Shi first had an audience with 【Chaos】!

The stone slab under his feet was still engraved with various worn-out characters carved by knives and axes, and beside him was a huge, torn-open 【Order】 Code Gate.

"..."

What is this for, making him walk the old path of 【Chaos】?

Cheng Shi was stunned. He quickly sized up his surroundings and then looked at himself, discovering that he was actually wearing a muddy yellow robe exactly like Ke Ta Luo's at this very moment.

Hmm? Why am I wearing Ke Ta Luo's clothes?

He immediately realized something was wrong, but just as Cheng Shi was about to think deeply, the chaotic yellow mist under the platform in front of him suddenly dispersed, revealing a passage leading to the void. And on the other side of the passage, it was connected to that 【Laughter and Mockery】 which looked even more chaotic than 【Chaos】!

Moreover, at this moment, inside 【Laughter and Mockery】, a big flatbread was walking over step by step, waving a golden apricot tree!

When Cheng Shi caught a glimpse of that figure, his pupils shrank and his scalp went numb.

Hu Wei!

This Grand Marshal of 【War】 actually appeared here, at the starting point of the 【Chaos Divine Rank】!

What is he doing here?

Having an audience with 【Chaos】?

Looking at this speed, within a minute, the two of them would meet on the platform below this 【Chaos Divine Rank】.

Cheng Shi was shocked. He suddenly realized what 【Chaos】 wanted to do. He actually wanted him to play Ultraman—no, He wanted the "real" Ultraman to receive this Grand Marshal who didn't know if he was a 【Chaos】 believer!

Ah?

You only gave me a set of clothes, without a mask or anything, aren't you afraid of being exposed?

Oh right, this is 【Chaos】; confusing identities is simpler than breathing for Him.

However...

Is it okay for you to backstab the player who works for you like this?

It's okay!

Anyway, the one being backstabbed isn't me, why care so much?

Thinking of this, all of Cheng Shi's tension suddenly disappeared. He slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and his smile became meaningful.

Deceiving people...

I'm too good at this.

Since the opportunity is rare, today let me see whether this good big brother of mine... is human or ghost.
