Chapter 596: You Act, I Act Too

You Act, I Act Too

His answer was related to the outcome of his audience.

Because he had long known that in this chaotic yellow fog, prayers and cries for help couldn't be sent out. Once he answered this question wrong, what awaited him was very likely a second feast of 【Chaos】, or perhaps a second trial of 【Order】.

What exactly it would be depended on whether He was sober.

It wasn't just 【Chaos】 that was chaotic; Cheng Shi was also very chaotic now. He didn't know why 【Chaos】, who had been fine not long ago, had suddenly become like this, but he knew that if he didn't answer the other party's question, just the boiling and tightening fog around him could suffocate him to death right here.

So he gripped the 【Fate】 dice in his hand tightly and gambled with himself again—and also gambled with the 【Chaos】 in front of him.

The stake for the opening bet was his own life, and as for his confidence... naturally, it was his ability to blaspheme gods!

This daring clown began his blasphemous performance again!

"【Order】!"

Cheng Shi changed his expression in a second. He endured the trepidation and fear in his heart, looked at the rolling chaotic yellow fog in front of him with hatred in his eyes, and roared hysterically:

"You cannot judge me!

The universe is inherently unordered, and laws are a joke. Your ridiculous will is nothing but sugar-coating to cover up the essence of disorder. Only ignorant and useless vermin in this world would follow you, sadly begging for food under your melting sugar glaze.

My Lord is the essence of the universe, 【Chaos】 is the ultimate eternity. As long as my Lord still exists, even if you can lock me up with this cage, you cannot lock up the hearts of the Grand Judgment Court that are falling apart, nor can you lock up the chaos that is about to sweep across the entire continent!

Praise my Lord, praise... the great 【Chaos】!

I am not wrong!

I have never been wrong!"

As he spoke, he even began to frantically scatter divinity, throwing the little 【Order】 divinity he had on him into the chaotic yellow fog beside him like it was trash.

This crazy scene made the surging chaotic yellow fog around him slightly freeze for a moment. The "He" hidden within, after seeing this scene, was touched by the scenery and seemed to begin endless memories again.

Feeling the other party's change, Cheng Shi's heartstrings tightened violently. He held his breath, not daring to make any extra movements.

He had shown his hand.

When he didn't know whether the other party would become 【Order】 or remain 【Chaos】, he could only admit that he was a 【Chaos】 believer, because the 【Chaos】 aura on his body couldn't be covered up; it was impossible to disguise himself as a supporter of 【Order】 on the spot.

But 【Chaos】 was single-mindedly wanting to become 【Order】. Cheng Shi making such a move was almost no different from suicide. What courage made him dare to face "Order" and say these blasphemous words?

It was... Aflos.

No, it should be the history that Aflos had once spoken of.

Cheng Shi understood that if he wanted to survive today from the hands of this god who was neither 【Order】 nor 【Chaos】, the most important point was to first get involved with both of them. Otherwise, no matter which side he pleased, he would face the possibility of being "judged" by the unclear other side.

But 【Order】 and 【Chaos】 were opposed; how could anyone be involved with both of them at the same time?

There was, there really was!

【Scorching Sun】!

This former 【Order】 Executioner, after the era perished, recognized the fact that 【Order】 couldn't protect Him, turned around and threw Himself into 【Chaos】's embrace, becoming 【Wrath of Abomination】, and in the current era, was caught back by 【Order】 and thrown into prison!

It was precisely this identity that made a flash of inspiration strike Cheng Shi's mind, seeing the possibility of drilling through a loophole.

So all his behavior wasn't a simple act of blasphemy, but using the performance of blasphemy to play 【Scorching Sun】. Only this existence could truly get involved with these two.

And 【Order】 didn't execute 【Wrath of Abomination】, which meant that the worst outcome of this roleplay was just an imprisonment.

As long as he didn't die, there was still hope.

Cheng Shi knew his only chance was to express his piety at the very beginning of this audience, and then show his hatred just now. This was very consistent with 【Scorching Sun】's change in attitude, and the 【Chaos】 aura on his body was the proof of his faith's allegiance.

And he also learned from 【Chaos】's appearance, throwing out all the 【Order】 divinity on his body, as if he were splitting from his past self, attempting to trigger the resonance of 【Chaos】 Himself in this way.

As for how he got this 【Order】 divinity...

Naturally, it was borrowed from Big Cat.

Thanks to Big Cat, this divinity probably couldn't be paid back completely.

This was all the means Cheng Shi could use in this predicament. As for whether it would work... it still depended on whether this 【Chaos】 who had confused Himself could acknowledge this identity.

This plan could be described as very bold; this performance was almost full of flaws in front of a true god.

But Cheng Shi was gambling on this. He was gambling that 【Chaos】 wasn't sober, gambling that 【Order】 wasn't shrewd yet!

At this moment, he could no longer retreat, so he could only grit his teeth and move forward, making up for all the distance he had retreated just now, re-grasping the extremely chaotic state of a "He," wanting to drill a big loophole in this gap!

The chaotic yellow fog boiled again. His will was indeed extremely chaotic.

After recalling who knows how many years of blurred memories, He seemed to gradually find His identity. Looking at this environment that didn't belong to 【Order】 and this old friend in front of Him who had abandoned his former piety, a flash of confusion crossed His eyes, and then He sighed faintly:

"Obsessed and unrepentant, it seems your sentence is far from over."

After saying this, He, along with all the chaotic yellow fog in the entire space, instantly disappeared before Cheng Shi's eyes, without a trace of pity.

Gone?

Gone!

Won the gamble!

Survived!!

Cheng Shi suddenly lost his restraints, his heart relaxing. But before he could catch his breath, he found himself falling into the endless void again.

As his body fell, his consciousness slowly dissolved. However, as long as this was the void, he had nothing to worry about.

Home at last.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi fell into an exhausted sleep.

And just at this moment, just below this void, a pair of starry and spiral eyes with upturned corners quietly opened, looking at him playfully from the depths that Cheng Shi couldn't see.

"Hee~

This was acknowledged by 【Chaos】 first; I just didn't refuse. He can't blame it on me.

But having said that, who told you to be lazy? How can a clown fall asleep while performing on stage?"

As soon as the voice fell, a hallucinatory gale rolled up in the void, erupting from bottom to top, whistling and rolling upward, catching the falling Cheng Shi.

Before the unconscious clown realized what had happened, the void around him began to change quietly. Before long, the boundless pitch-black turned into chaotic muddy yellow once again. Not only that, the gale that caught Cheng Shi also slowly froze, mixing with those hallucinatory and boiling colors, gradually condensing into a magnificent palace.

The 【Chaos】 Temple appeared before the world once again, using its mercy to protect its confused follower.

And when this follower woke up, the cold sweat that had just been blown dry by the void gale came back again.

"!!??"

Oh no, removing the psychological suggestion really didn't work. How come I'm dreaming again!

So was the narrow escape just now a dream, or is the re-entry into the wolf's den a dream?

Or are they both? Or neither!?

If they were both, then there was nothing to be afraid of.

But if they weren't, then... was there any hope for him?

Had He become sober? Had He realized he had deceived Him?

Would He be a sober 【Order】, or a sober 【Chaos】?

Cheng Shi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He looked around in panic, praying like crazy in his heart:

"Lies like yesterday, looking but not reaching!

Fate is like the stars, sneering at today!

Two benefactors, come and save me quickly, your pious believer is about to croak!"
