Chapter 610

The Heart-to-Heart Session between 【Deception】 and 【Fate】

Time rewinds for a moment.

After the civil war of the 【Void】 shattered the entire expanse of nothingness, two identical pairs of eyes stared at each other once more in the depths of the void, neither willing to yield.

As the masters of the 【Void】, their emotions clearly influenced the state of the void, and thus a miraculous scene appeared:

In this deep layer of the void, rarely explored by outsiders, one half of the world was jubilant and dancing, overflowing with passionate, psychedelic colors, while the other half was a frozen wasteland, where howling, frigid winds nearly sealed the universe in ice.

"Hee~

Are we still fighting?"

【Deception】 tilted the corners of their eyes, giggling as usual, looking as though they hadn't suffered any losses in this civil war.

【Fate】 was as cold and indifferent as true fate itself. Although they knew they couldn't do anything to this sibling god, sometimes, one still had to vent their temper, otherwise, they would eventually be angered to the point of falling by the other party.

"Meaningless folly. Continuing to fight is just a waste of time.

However, you should know that this is not because you are invincible, but because I am invincible."

"?" 【Deception】 blinked, bewildered, "Are you 【Fate】, or that foul-mouthed 【Dementia】? If you are 【Fate】, isn't the speed at which you are being assimilated by Him a bit too fast?"

"......"

No one could get the better of the God of Fun in a war of words. 【Fate】 knew they couldn't either, so they stopped emphasizing this and instead warned even more coldly:

"You have violated the 【Void】 agreement you set yourself, so the agreement is void from now on."

【Deception】 didn't seem to care about this, nodding and saying: "Correct, it's void. You can withdraw the faith from that follower of yours."

"?"

As soon as 【Deception】 finished speaking, the cold, biting gale in the void gained the upper hand, pushing the boundary line of "ice and fire" right before 【Deception】's eyes.

"He is my believer. The one who should take back the faith is you, 【Deception】!"

"Oh my, it seems someone has forgotten some facts.

How interesting. Clearly, I am the counterpart to 【Memory】, so why is my memory better than some gods who are unaffected by 【Memory】?

Let me think. I remember that follower of yours—oh no, I should say that follower of mine—seems to be an oathbreaker?

Hmm, he indeed is, but whose oath did he break?

This memory is too distant; I must recall it carefully."

"......" 【Fate】 was silent, the cold wind intensifying.

Their incomparably cold gaze swept over those eyes that looked exactly like their own, and they said in a deep voice:

"His oath-breaking is also within the 【Void】 agreement you set. Since the agreement is void, the oath-breaking naturally does not count."

【Deception】 rolled their eyes and said happily:

"That works too. For the sake of us both belonging to the 【Void】, I'll let you have this one.

However, 【Chaos】 has already accepted his following, and this matter cannot be undone. Since it has come to this, you might as well give up your idea of getting closer to 【Dementia】 and join hands with 【Chaos】 to explore the future together.

【Chaos】 conceals the essence, 【Fate】 sees through the truth. By that calculation, you two can be considered complementary. Not bad, not bad, a bit interesting."

"You still say it wasn't you who pulled the strings and led him toward 【Chaos】!"

"Don't slander me. 【Chaos】 and I are merely in a clean and innocent cooperative relationship; there isn't a shred of filth to speak of.

He is one of the sixteen true gods appointed by the 【Origin】, a true god crowned with a divine name, seated on a divine throne, and enjoying divine authority. No matter how capable I am, I cannot control what He thinks, let alone that He is chaotic by nature.

So whatever choice He makes has nothing to do with me.

Adult gods should be responsible for their own actions. I give these words to you as well.

Also, don't blame me for whatever choice that believer of yours made. You heard it too; he didn't mention 【Deception】 even once.

Oh, right, he did mention 【Blazing Sun】. Perhaps it was that guy who bewitched him?

Prisoners, after all, will do anything to break out of jail."

【Fate】 was choked into silence. They looked coldly at the sibling god before them, and after staring for a moment, they suddenly extinguished the wild winds and chill of the void, sighing faintly:

"【Existence】 is harmonious from top to bottom, so why must the 【Void】 split?"

"Hmm? Who wants to split? Is it you who wants to split from me, my dear sister? You have such a cruel heart."

"......" The stars and spirals in 【Fate】's eyes stagnated. They became devoid of joy or sorrow once again. "You know what I mean. It is 【Him】 who bestowed everything. Getting closer to 【Him】 is not a mistake."

"I once thought so too," 【Deception】 laughed at themselves, their tone becoming increasingly meaningful, "until......"

"Until what?"

"Until my rebellious phase arrived, hee~

How boring are children who never change. Perhaps it is me that 【Him】 likes, not you two?"

"......"

【Fate】 gave up. They no longer tried to correct the other party's thoughts, but they still reminded: "Even so, 【Chaos】 is not a good choice for you.

Don't forget, when 【Chaos】 began, He denied 【Order】 not for anything else, but also to get closer to 【Him】.

He is different from you. He might not help you."

"I don't need Him to help me. Right now, I am helping Him, and I will also help myself. You don't need to worry about that.

If you are bored, you can go write more tragedies. A world full of fun is too far from you; it's normal that you can't understand it."

"...... Hopeless. Time will eventually prove that I am right," 【Fate】 said coldly.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, you are right, you have always been right. I thought you would say 【Time】 will eventually give you the answer. So, He hasn't given you the answer? Then why did He give that oathbreaker of yours the answer?"

【Fate】 frowned: "He will not be a prisoner of 【Fate】; he will only be the 【Predestination】 of 【Fate】."

Hearing this, the corners of 【Deception】's eyes pulled into a mocking arc. The irony was so complex that it was hard to tell whether they were mocking 【Fate】, mocking 【Time】, or perhaps...... mocking themselves.

【Fate】 was not prepared to waste any more time. They glanced at 【Deception】 one last time and said:

"Since the 【Agreement】 is void, the believer of 【Fate】 will eventually embark on the path of faith fusion. You......

Take care of yourself."

Having said that, 【Fate】 vanished, leaving 【Deception】 laughing heartily on the spot.

"What a great act. In the end, you just couldn't bear to part with that pet of yours.

Ha, the oathbreaker of 【Fate】, hmm, not bad, really not bad."

As they spoke, those giggling eyes blinked gently, and the void that had shattered in the civil war just now was completely restored within a second. The boundless pitch-black flowed through the void once more. They looked into the depths of the void, toward the two believers who wanted to play the clown and tell some so-called 【Void】 story, sneered, and pulled one of them in front of them.

As for the other one......

Heh, the taste of 【Memory】, it's annoying to look at.

And so, before the two clowns could even take the stage, one was thrown out of the void, and one came trembling before the "audience."

"Praise......" Cheng Shi was so practiced with this opening move that he hadn't even clearly seen whose eyes were before him before the word "praise" had already left his lips.

However, 【Deception】 understood him very well, so the moment the clown was about to look up, they froze his form, making it impossible for the clown to look up and see who he was meeting at this very moment.

"......"

The scene was awkward. Before 【Him】 spoke, Cheng Shi really didn't dare to conclude who the benefactor before him was.

In the past, such situations were highly likely to be the God of Fun, but the coincidence was that his actions today seemed to have offended the other one as well, so......

The clown panicked, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead instantly.

"Continue, why stop praising?"

Hearing this sarcastic voice, the clown's hanging heart instantly dropped.

Great, saved!

It's the God of Fun!

"Praise the great God of 【Deception】. Under your gaze, the world is full of falsehoods, and there is no more truth in the universe!"

Cheng Shi's tone was as pious as could be, but just as he finished speaking, 【Deception】 sneered:

"Then, is this sentence you just said the truth or a lie?"

"It is......"

It's bullshit, just kill me!

The clown's face collapsed, and he gave up on the spot.
