Chapter 556: A long talk with [Deception] (III)

A long talk with 【Deception】 (III)

(Thanks to everyone for your votes and support, six extra chapters for the top ten by the end of the month!)

"Benefactor..."

When Cheng Shi read these four words again, his heart was full of mixed feelings.

【Deception】 lost some of the "god" filter in his heart, but also made him respect Him more.

He didn't know where this strange and awkward sense of respect came from, but this feeling was very similar to the feeling Old Jia gave him.

It was like using one lie after another to build a shield for himself to block all external attacks.

Of course, whether this shield is to block damage for himself or for the God of Fun Himself still needs careful study.

Cheng Shi looked at those eyes with complex eyes, slowly raised his left hand, showed the nail of his left little finger before the god, and then said seriously:

"I don't know if this is also your plan, but in the trial just now, I obtained..."

Before he finished his words, he was interrupted by the God of Fun.

"Heh, the stinky beggar is generous, but if you really think He is compassionate and merciful, then you are too stupid."

???

Regardless of what I think of 【Decay】, the title "stinky beggar" in your mouth... is it serious?

No, feelings are that Zhen Yi giving people nicknames is all learned from you, right?

"..."

But what does He mean, 【Decay】 is not compassionate?

Cheng Shi frowned and fell into deep thought.

Indeed, His mercy doesn't look like true mercy. He clearly has a purpose. Thinking back now, 【Decay】's behavior looks more like taking the mercy of begging 【Source】 and putting it on himself, using appropriate alms to satisfy his own unfulfilled longing.

In other words, he is playing a giver, comforting his own "pity" by bestowing what he cannot get.

But the God of Fun's meaning seems to be more than that, so Cheng Shi blinked his eyes in doubt, waiting for Him to explain to him again.

Those eyes were very talkative today. He sneered and said:

"I know what you guessed. You guessed right. The stinky beggar is indeed eager to see 【Him】. It should be said that before 【Civilization】, 【Life】 and 【Sinking】's worship of 【Him】 was all very primitive and very crazy.

Just like the humans of that era, their faith was fanatical and pious. They, toward 【Him】, were also very fanatical.

However, even if He was inspired by 【Mother of Prosperity】's self-destruction and found a new path to Him, He didn't have to let you act on behalf of this 'fading' authority.

You are just a player. Under the constraints of 【Convention】, no matter how long you think this game can last, in your whole life, at most you will just meet a few more of His believers.

This level of fading is useless to a god, but He still bestowed upon you the power of authority. Do you know why?"

Cheng Shi understood instantly. He nodded with a solemn face: "Because I am 【Void】's... walker."

"Pfft—

Darling is darling, what walker.

Ordinary walkers don't have so many gods watching."

"..."

"【Memory】 is right. They can't guess what I want to do, so they cast a chip on you and wait for the follow-up.

You also don't need to dream that I will tell you anything, Hee~

Because even I don't know what I'm doing."

"..."

Cheng Shi really wanted to complain. He always felt that he was really like a clown now, a clown who awkwardly twisted his uncoordinated body on the stage to make people laugh, but unlike other clowns, this stage was built by the God of Fun Himself, and the audience under the stage were 【Them】 sitting on god seats high above!

The gods don't understand what this play is performing, but this doesn't prevent them from throwing two coins on the stage as encouragement when the clown performs brilliantly.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's face collapsed.

Broken, this time it really became a clown, the gods' clown!

【Deception】 seemed to see what Cheng Shi thought, laughed loudly, and affirmed Cheng Shi's thoughts.

"It seems that the stinky beggar begged for a lot of money in the past era. His reward is much more generous than the old bone's."

"..."

No, benefactor, what do you mean by this?

Is that Lord... also one of the speculators under the stage?

Doesn't look like it. Does 【Death】 look like a real good boss?

"Old bone is a good person, just a bit dull.

However, it's not that good people don't have schemes. He is trying to understand the 【Pollution】 new authority you 'offered' to him, and wants to use this to grab something from the Sea of Desire that split 【Order】!

Tsk, speaking high-sounding, isn't it just wanting to find some benefits.

Otherwise, how do you think that broken bone ring in your hand merged a pile of junk divinity?

It's fear!

It's the new authority related to fear that gave the old bone a new idea, using fear as a constraint to bind those divinities that could never be merged together.

But it can only be like this. Different divinities are inherently alienated from each other, which is something that cannot be changed."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi was stunned, and then his eyes flashed with brilliance.

"So because of this, the gods want to merge divinity, right?

Is it because... the divinity bestowed by that existence is incompatible with each other, so the gods want to get close to... that existence through this reverse method of merging divinity, right, benefactor!"

Those eyes raised their eyebrows unexpectedly, sneered lightly and said:

"You've become smart. It seems you are not afraid anymore."

"..."

Don't mock, don't mock, I'm a clown, okay!

Cheng Shi was numb. He finally figured out what those experiments in the Tower of Reason were doing. It turned out that those great scholars were constantly trying various methods of merging divinity, grafting faith, and artificial gods under the protection of 【Truth】.

They only thought these things could let them ascend to godhood, but they didn't know that behind this, 【Truth】 was merging their means, using almost the same method to get close to 【Him】!

It turns out this is the purpose of the gods!

Everything they planted in the universe is for 【Him】!

In this way, the gods close to the God of Fun are the "Fear Faction" in 【Convention】, and the gods represented by 【Truth】 and 【Decay】 are the "Close-to-Faction" in 【Convention】. But there are differences in this Close-to-Faction, some fanatically worship, some rationally approach.

Roughly counting, the members of the "Fear Faction" are probably...

Only one.

Because no one likes the God of Fun, even 【Fate】, who is a sibling god of 【Void】, has a different opinion from Him.

Truly miserable. It turns out that not only am I a clown, but there is also a bigger clown.

As for who it is...

Cheng Shi touched his nose, his gaze wandered, and he didn't dare to make a sound. ===== CHAPTER 557 =====
