Chapter 555: A long talk with [Deception] (II)

A long talk with 【Deception】 (II)

"Clatter—"

The glass broke.

Although there was no frosted glass blocking man and god in this void, at this moment, Cheng Shi clearly felt that the frosted glass that had been erected and was severely distorted in its image of each other only today, shattered.

Those starry eyes showed themselves in front of him for the first time so "truly," vivid and image-like, "flesh and blood" full, and clearly visible.

For a moment, Cheng Shi even felt that He didn't seem to be a 【Him】 high above anymore, but a... pioneer who was walking on the same road, but had walked a long distance ahead of him.

So, it's not just me who is afraid; it turns out He is even more afraid than me!

His own deduction was correct; He is indeed not a "Proximity Sect" member, and the reason He chooses not to get close is this fear.

The fear called "uncaused good."

But there is another problem Cheng Shi couldn't figure out, that is, 【Source】 is unlike the gods. 【Him】 never appeared, never manipulated everything in the universe, and even for the life of the universe, He is an existence that "does not exist," with minimal influence. So what is 【Deception】 afraid of?

Afraid that His authority doesn't actually belong to Him?

It is indeed possible, because 【Death】 once said that 【Convention】 was signed to protect all divine authorities from being lost.

At that time, Cheng Shi didn't think too much. Now thinking carefully, under the gods, who can make divine authority lost?

So the original purpose of 【Convention】 might not be aimed at life below the gods. Since it's not below the gods, it can only be... gods and above!

Besides reconciling the discord between the gods, this 【Convention】 probably also guards against 【Him】!

But aren't there many "Proximity Sect" members among the gods? How could they sign a 【Covenant】 to guard against Him?

Looking at it this way, the factors for the signing of this 【Convention】 are far more complex than he had predicted before.

Excluding the God of Fun's fear of authority, Cheng Shi also had an idea in his heart, which is that He is also afraid of the end of the 【Void】 era!

But having said that, the present is the era belonging to 【Void】. As the master of this era, 【Deception】 should have far more confidence than other gods.

Aflos once said that there must be a next era after the 【Void】 era. If this is true, even messengers can withstand the scouring of the end of the era, so a True God shouldn't feel fear because of this.

Therefore, there must be some reason he doesn't understand, and this reason might point directly to the essence of the God of Fun's fear!

This is not a guess, but an inference Cheng Shi made through the appearance of 【Deception】 and 【Fate】's different views on the path of faith fusion.

Still the same sentence, 【Fate】 advocates the established, obviously wanting to witness the end of the 【Void】 era. Since 【Deception】's opinion is contrary to His, it means He doesn't want to experience the end of the era.

Cheng Shi really wanted to ask directly what the end of the 【Void】 era would experience, but he could also see that with his current self, he was afraid he wouldn't be qualified to know more.

The God of Fun being able to explain so much to him was already an unimaginable thing. His forcing him to ask that blasphemous question also showed His attitude.

Yes, forcing.

The ice-breaker of this stalemate was actually not Cheng Shi, but the God of Fun Himself.

When He forced Cheng Shi into a stalemate with a silence, the ice had already been broken, because both the extremely smart person and god knew that when that stalemate arrived, Cheng Shi would definitely find a way to break the ice, and this also meant that He was already prepared to "explain" something for Cheng Shi.

It was just that Cheng Shi at that time was too terrified to figure it all out. But after recovering after getting the explanation, Cheng Shi, as a smart person, figured everything out in the first time.

He had long seen through his suspicion and used such a silent drama to explain the answer he wanted.

But 【Deception】 is the appearance of 【Void】, a collection of all lies. Is His explanation really credible?

Cheng Shi wasn't completely sure, but at least in breaking the stalemate, His behavior and His attitude were consistent.

The liar's intuition told him that the God of Fun is worth believing, but whether this intuition is useful to gods...

Sigh, can only look while walking.

Cheng Shi let out a long sigh of relief.

Today he gained a lot, getting many shocking messages that couldn't be described in words, but the most important thing was to untie the knot that 【Memory】 tied with his own hands, allowing himself to have the confidence to get close to 【Void】... no, to get close to 【Deception】 again.

At least, before figuring out the true will of the other benefactor, he couldn't be sure whether 【Fate】 was a... ahem.

But what is gratifying is that today 【Deception】 seemed sincere enough. He didn't seem to be harming himself, at most, just using himself.

"Using" here is not derogatory, just a chess player pushing the movement of some chess pieces with a global vision. The chess pieces cannot resist, so they can only endure. But if one day, the chess piece also becomes a chess player, then...

Two chess players with the same path might not be able to cooperate and play this game of universe chess more brilliantly.

Cheng Shi saw it. His benefactor is working hard in this direction, because He doesn't seem to have found a "god" who can play and walk with Him on those other fifteen god seats.

And today's audience, which can be called untying the heart knot... should thank 【Memory】.

If it weren't for the heart demon planted by the opponent, making 【Deception】's "plan" appear biased, perhaps, these things would have taken a long time for him to understand.

Of course, it might also be thanks to 【Death】. Perhaps it was precisely because this Lord bestowed upon him a "complete" divinity that had been bonded, that he had the opportunity to "temporarily sit at the table."

Cheng Shi thought a lot, thought for a long time, until he completely got rid of 【Source】's influence, before he raised his head with a serious face and looked at the joyful eyes in front of him.

At this moment, it seemed that there was no need to say more. A clown who had been disheartened returned to the stage he should have enjoyed with a smile again.

He stared blankly at those eyes, his lips moving for a moment, as if he had made up some determination, saying very seriously:

"What should I do?"

Those eyes turned, sneering:

"The clown is worthy of being a clown. Your means of making people laugh are much stronger than your confidence."

"..."

Hearing this, the energy Cheng Shi had just gathered instantly dissipated.

Seeing this, those eyes laughed loudly again:

"You overestimate yourself. You can't do anything.

Your duty is to be a player, so, honestly be a liar."

Player... duty...?

Cheng Shi was stunned, and then raised his eyebrows, seeming to understand a little. ===== CHAPTER 556 =====
