Chapter 57

You are actually His believers!!??

Crazy!

These people are all crazy!

Cheng Shi frowned and cautiously took two steps back.

They were indeed believers of 【War】, and their goal was to drag the entire Continent of Hope into the abyss of war.

But just from this, he still couldn't determine whether the offering for 【Death】 was this group of lunatics or Mo Qiusi.

So Cheng Shi spoke again:

"So, why do you think I am suitable for your plan?"

Chenosli raised his head abruptly, his burning gaze fixed on Cheng Shi, as if looking at his most beloved treasure.

"Why?

Because you have His aura on you, because you fit His will, because you have also received His gaze...

yet you don't know it yet!"

Wait! No!

Cheng Shi's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had thought of something.

But before he could form the absurd thought in his mind, Chenosli had already given the answer:

"Great God of 【Chaos】, your servant has found the first life that has awakened the will of chaos; he will witness with us...

Your descent!"

!!!!!

Cheng Shi's back stiffened instantly, his scalp tingling.

【Chaos】!

It's actually 【Chaos】!

They are actually believers of 【Chaos】!!!

How could this be?

In this era where 【War】 has just started to watch and 【Chaos】 has not even been heard of, he actually encountered the first batch of 【Chaos】 believers!

The legendary 【Budding Believers】!

And his current identity, in a sense, is far purer than theirs!

No wonder...

No wonder the murderer was so unscrupulous, no wonder Chenosli was so maniacal, no wonder they took a fancy to him!

His will is just like this.

【Chaos】 brings everyone together!

"..."

The massive amount of information and huge mental shock left Cheng Shi stunned for a good while, until Chenosli recovered from his maniacal state and hissed lowly a few times, dragging Cheng Shi back to reality.

"You already know the name of the 【New God】; now, will you still refuse?

Think about it, in the coming era, your name will be sung by countless believers, and like us, you will become the divine favored of 【Chaos】!"

Speaking of this, Chenosli suddenly paused; he scratched his head and asked awkwardly:

"I remember your name is...?"

Cheng Shi was stunned at first, then the corners of his mouth quickly curled into a playful arc, and he returned to his most confident state:

Absolutely honest.

"Compared to that, why don't you tell me what I won't refuse?"

Chenosli nodded.

"That's true; as someone watched by Him, you naturally must participate in the ceremony to welcome the descent of my Lord.

Your identity is very free, and you can do far more things than we can.

Find Mo Qiusi, approach Mo Qiusi, and then... kill Mo Qiusi.

The Grand Tribunal will lose a child of 【Order】, and their anger will inevitably be spilled onto the Tower of Reason."

"How can you be sure that the Grand Tribunal will definitely fight the Tower of Reason?"

"You know, actually they are already fighting, it's just sporadic friction; Mo Qiusi's death will accelerate the spread of war.

As for why, hahahaha, Ados is a scholar of the Tower of Reason, and Ke Taruo is also a scholar of the Tower of Reason; as long as the Grand Tribunal brings out 【that thing】, they can easily find out all this.

Hahahaha, this is an impeccable closed loop!"

That thing?

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows, not daring to ask directly, but asked vaguely:

"But the Grand Tribunal will also know that the Tower of Reason has long since expelled them."

"No, you don't understand; expulsion is not necessarily division, just as acceptance is not necessarily fusion. As long as the seed of suspicion is planted, catalyzed by the flames of war, everything will follow logically."

"... Then what about you? If 【that thing】 appears, your identity won't be hidden either."

"Me?" Chenosli pointed at himself and laughed out loud again.

"You guys want to find the mastermind, right? I can be that murderer.

Although we don't know what you are pursuing, it doesn't matter.

Kill me, satisfy yourself.

This is a void space we opened up; it is far in the underworld and not protected by 【Prosperity】.

Die here, and no one will find my corpse, not even the Grand Tribunal."

!!!

Looking at the maniacal smile on Chenosli's face, Cheng Shi felt a tremor in his heart.

This person wasn't crazy at all; he even saw that the players were looking for the murderer!

But this person was also completely crazy, willing to use his own life as a bargaining chip to get a response from Cheng Shi!

All this, just for a faith that was ethereal to them, for a god of "chaos" to descend...

"You... aren't afraid of death?"

"Death is inevitable for everyone.

I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that my Lord will no longer watch us.

To be honest, we didn't have full certainty before coming, but until we met you...

I realized that this was His guidance to us.

You know of His existence, and you will definitely help us complete this great feat!

Kill Mo Qiusi, let my Lord...

see our piety!"

As he spoke, Chenosli took out a dagger from his bosom.

This dagger, flashing with an enchanting and eerie red light, was so familiar that Cheng Shi was stunned when he saw it.

"【When Fear Arrives】? Wasn't it taken away by Mo Qiusi?"

Chenosli chuckled twice, but the laughter carried an unprecedented sadness.

"The 5 of us set out from the underworld to come here; Ados died, Ke Taruo and I survived; guess where the remaining two went?"

A flash of inspiration struck Cheng Shi's mind:

Alchemy, creation, dual divinity, two people...

A bold idea rose in his heart, and he murmured in disbelief:

"Creation, besides making puppets, can probably also make...

Subordinate relics!?"

"You are really smart.

Qing is a believer of 【Death】, and Wu Yageli is a believer of 【Filth-Fallen】; they were refined by Ados into a replica of 【When Fear Arrives】, stealing a trace of authority from this subordinate relic.

When it is not in use, the replica can perfectly enjoy its authority.

To approach Mo Qiusi, we added special divinity to it, making that replica yield only to the power of 【Order】.

And when the original one selects a target, Qing and Wu Yageli will be repelled by the pure divinity and change back from the replica state to flesh and blood, and the replica will naturally dissipate.

But at that time, they, having become human again, will also die immediately, sacrificing themselves to the great 【Chaos】.

We never worried about it being taken away, only about not being able to approach Mo Qiusi!"

"..."

What kind of purple-gold red gourd is this?

"And then?" Cheng Shi asked suspiciously, "Use a fake to kill Mo Qiusi to preserve the real subordinate relic?"

"Of course not; the subordinate relic has no need to be preserved; it is not a gift from my Lord, but discarded waste from other 【Gods】.

According to Ados's plan, after Mo Qiusi gets the replica, he will lower his external vigilance to the minimum, and this is the best time to break his mental defenses!

The real subordinate relic must always be used at the most important moment.

Isn't that so?"

Damn, so reasonable.

Cheng Shi was speechless.

"How about it? Don't you think Ados is a genius?

His teacher was far greater than him, but unfortunately, this world cannot accommodate geniuses, let alone these great inventions.

People shout about faith, but they are all doing things contrary to faith.

And this just goes to show that the world is inherently disordered!

Everyone is the embodiment of contradiction and chaos!"

"..."

To be honest, this rhetoric of the chaos believers is quite shocking, but Cheng Shi cannot accept it.

At least for himself, he is not chaotic, and his stability is consistent.

That is: always lying to people, including being lied to.

"Accept our invitation, and you can not only kill the 'murderer' but also take away Ados's 'Alchemy Notes'.

This is the notebook left by the greatest genius of this era; as long as it is released, even the scholars of the Tower of Reason will fight for it.

Think about it, you, what will you choose?"

Hehe, I have no choice.

The conversation has reached this point; if I refuse, I'm the one who dies.

Cheng Shi shook his head and chuckled.

"You don't doubt my identity? You probably don't even know why I came here."

"That's not important; compared to His descent, these are not important."

"After you die, what about Ke Taruo?"

"His existence is to prove to the outside world: you are not the murderer! At the right time, he will prove his piety."

Oh, you guys are quite thoughtful.

Sounds nice, probably suicide again?

"You killed two of my companions, but only return one life?" Cheng Shi continued to retort playfully.

Chenosli was stunned for a moment, frowned, and shook his head.

"We only killed one person; I can tell that the hunter was not in sync with you."

"?"

He actually didn't lie!

This means they only killed Wei Guan!

Then how did the ascetic monk die?

Did someone really fish in troubled waters?

Who was it?

Cheng Shi racked his brains for a moment but couldn't figure it out.

Perhaps someone had contact with that demi-artifact before the ascetic monk?

There were too many people at the scene, and he had no clues for the moment.

Forget it, back to the point.

"Even if I accept your invitation, facing a first-rank judge of the Grand Tribunal, how should I make him feel fear?"

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, judges are also human; if they are human, they have fear. You might as well ask him if he remembers me?"

OK, understood.

Cheng Shi sighed and asked again:

"Is it worth it?"

Chenosli glanced at him without speaking.

But his weathered eyes were full of determination; just for this moment, he had nothing to do with chaos.

Cheng Shi is not a compassionate person, nor is he an ungrateful person.

One of his greatest strengths is listening to advice.

He understood what Chenosli meant, so he nodded and said:

"Deal."

Chenosli became maniacal again because of Cheng Shi's affirmation; he excitedly and convulsively handed over 【When Fear Arrives】, then raised his neck high, offering his throat to be slaughtered.

"If He descends after you die, will you regret not being able to see Him?"

"Regret?

You don't understand.

You have only realized His existence, but you have not yet grasped the true meaning of 【Chaos】.

Do it, let me join this sacrifice!

Join this most wonderful welcome for my Lord!"

This demi-artifact now lay quietly in Chenosli's hand, completely different from the state when the ascetic monk held it.

Cheng Shi reached out cautiously and tapped the hilt of the dagger lightly.

A breath of death surged into his body along his fingers, so thick that he shivered directly.

No rejection?

"The subordinate relic has no consciousness and will not reject, but the replica refined by Qing and Wu Yageli has obsession; except for 【Order】 believers, they repel everyone else."

Cheng Shi put away 【When Fear Arrives】 with mixed feelings, then took a scalpel out of his sleeve.

Although this thing is a demi-artifact, it's not as handy as a scalpel.

"Any last words?"

Chenosli laughed wantonly.

"My friend, I remember your name is...?"

Cheng Shi was stunned, then smiled and replied:

"Ultraman, my name is Ultraman."

Yes, my name is outman.

To you, I am just an outsider.

Goodbye, Chenosli.

I hope you are my answer.

"Sss—"

"Uh... uh..."

Hand up, blade down, clean and neat.

A thin slit instantly cracked open on Chenosli's neck; the moment his pupils constricted, this barely visible wound burst open, spraying blood containing 【Order】, 【Filth-Fallen】, and 【Chaos】 everywhere.

Watching him close his eyes in death with a maniacal smile on his face, Cheng Shi shook the blood off his hands with an unreadable expression.

"The answer was wrong."
