Chapter 650: Some people

~10 min read 1,851 words

Some people's rebellious period is in their twilight years

I don't know if 【War】 extinguished the fire, but the green flames in 【Death】's eyes are about to go out.

Time rolls back a bit, back to the moment An Mingyu was turned into a "Ram Horn" by Cheng Shi and sent back to the Fish Bone Hall.

When that huge skull sat high on the bone throne, watching a pale skeleton fall before its eyes from the torrent of white bones, He realized that trouble was coming.

Regardless of whether the screaming servant brought the praise of that part-time employee, as long as it appeared, it meant that there must be a "request" from that employee after this praise.

This is an employee who likes to "order" the boss around.

However, He truly appreciated Cheng Shi, especially the efficiency of the other's handling of affairs and the understanding of the gods' will, but the problem is that sometimes appreciation is not a good thing, but instead invites trouble.

After the two gods of 【Nothingness】 visited one after another, He was already a bit "afraid" to summon Cheng Shi. He was afraid that the two benefactors of the other would cut a hole in His pocket through Cheng Shi, this "dagger", and then wantonly steal the things in His pocket.

So, after the confrontation with 【Deception】 last time, He prepared to "cold-shoulder" Cheng Shi for a period of time.

But He didn't expect that He wouldn't see Cheng Shi, but Cheng Shi chased after Him to see Him. What He didn't expect even more was that this screaming servant who fell down didn't even bring a "praise", and opened his mouth with a "help"!

The flames in the eyes of the huge skull instantly roared, and the atmosphere of the entire Fish Bone Hall suddenly fell into stagnation. It looked like He was angry.

Of course, this anger wasn't because there was no praise, but because He felt power that shouldn't have appeared on this screaming servant!

Power of 【Origin】!

This skeleton of death actually carried the power of 【Origin】, and 【*His】 power was pulling with His own power. The intense collision of divine power made this corpse fall into a state of neither living nor dying.

In the eyes of players, An Mingyu, who had been finished off by Cheng Shi, was already dead, even turning into white bones, but in the eyes of gods, it was not so.

The death caused by 【Origin】 pulled the "existence" of the blind man toward some unknown place outside the universe, but as the destination of death in the universe, the power of 【Death】 was pulling everything about her back to the Fish Bone Hall.

It was this pulling related to the attribution of death that made An Mingyu fall into a very wonderful state.

Even more wonderful was that the power of 【Fate】 acted as a buffer between the two, avoiding the believer of Him from directly shattering and dying in the collision of divine power.

This was not a conventional phenomenon, so when the huge skull saw this scene, He knew who had sent this corpse before His eyes.

It definitely wouldn't be Cheng Shi. Even if this employee knew more about 【Origin】, he couldn't think of such a way to make the power of 【Death】 fall into entanglement with the power of 【Origin】.

This was fundamentally not something a mortal could understand, and the one who could make this kind of "framing", thinking about it, was nothing more than those few.

【Truth】 advocates fusion, 【Foolishness】 is keen on experiments. They both have motives, but their goal was never 【Death】, so they can be temporarily excluded.

【Annihilation】 views itself as an enemy, so it is possible to find trouble for itself, but the problem is that what He likes is "extinction", not "calculation", so it can also be excluded.

However, speaking of "calculation"... there is such an existence, no, there is such a 【Nothingness】. He both "advocates" fusion and is "keen" on experiments. His preferences are never fixed according to his own temperament. Whether he is willing to gaze at a certain matter depends entirely on how much fun is hidden inside.

The most coincidental thing is that He is also the benefactor of His part-time employee!

So... it must be Him!

There won't be any other god!

So 【Death】 was angry. He floated in the middle of the hall and let out a roar that shook the universe and rocked the world.

"【Deception】!"

"You, want, to do, what!?"

As soon as his voice fell, a pair of eyes drawn by star points and spirals opened in the... eye sockets of the huge skull.

Yes, in the eye sockets.

His position of appearance was so just right that this "bald" skull was instantly embellished with a pair of big eyes.

"Eh, let me see who is so lacking in public morality, shouting loudly while others are resting?"

This time 【Death】's anger was too great. He didn't "understand" 【Deception】's "childishness". His gaze condensed slightly, and a green flame sufficient to burn through the void erupted, wrapping His entire skull tightly, instantly burning away all 【Nothingness】 around Him.

【Deception】 was burned to death.

Pretending.

His figure quietly shattered and melted into the big fire, but soon another pair of star eyes opened opposite 【Death】, smiling with curled corners:

"Hee~"

"Old bone, calm down. You are so old, if you get angry, 【Life】 will be the only god left. Then how lonely He must be."

The huge skull didn't pay attention to the God of Joy at all. The green flames in His eyes were fierce and vigorous. Just by glancing, the sky-filling fire ignited the wind of nothingness, trapping the "pitiful" 【Deception】 in the void, unable to move.

That pair of eyes saw the old bone was old and strong, and originally wanted to tease a couple of sentences, but when He saw a huge scythe appearing on the skull that emitted boundless 【Death】 breath, the spiral in the eyes stagnated slightly.

A trace of seriousness flashed in His eyes, but the surface was still smiling:

"Old bone, are you playing for real?"

"You, deliberately, polluted, My divine power, making it, entangle, with, 【Origin】 power."

"Purpose, why!?"

"【Deception】, you had better, explain, clearly."

"Really angry?" Those eyes blinked and blinked, flashing a trace of innocent expression, "I didn't know what happened. I just smelled the aura of 【Fate】, so I came to see. Who knew I would run into you having a seizure."

"Hee~ oh sorry, sigh~"

"Really unlucky."

"..." The green flames in the huge skull's eyes became even more intense. "Stubborn, unyielding."

"I originally, had no intention, to participate, in it."

"Worship, or, fear, is nothing but, what you, chose, yourselves."

"You, again and again, test, Me."

"Do you really think, My authority, cannot, cause god, death!?"

"Can, can, can, of course I can, otherwise why would you be pulled into the 【Covenant】?"

The spiral in the eyes of those eyes started turning again, and the faster it turned, He giggled:

"【Order】, that old antique, said it well. The 【Covenant】 cannot be violated. Old bone, as long as I don't learn from 【Mother of Prosperity】, even if you offer your grass-cutting scythe that has mixed with I don't know how much divinity, you can't kill me."

"However, to be fair, 【Life】 is indeed rough. If the divinity of Their fall flowed into 【Truth】's hands, perhaps He could knead something more fun. In your hands, it's a pity."

"Scythe..."

"According to human saying, your aesthetics are a bit outdated."

"..."

The huge skull was silent.

Although 【Deception】's words were annoying, what He said was the truth.

Even if He could drive the scythe to harvest 【Deception】's life, under the protection of the 【Covenant】, 【Death】 divine power would also uncontrollably "resurrect" the other.

This is the advantage of the 【Covenant】 not causing all divine rights to be lost, and of course, it is also the price.

That's why the gods don't like 【Deception】, because He likes to cause trouble and fight, but you can't kill Him.

No one can stand this kind of chatter, which is why 【Death】 often uses the method of fleeing to avoid 【Deception】. But today, He was too angry, because 【Deception】's behavior had almost touched His bottom line, and this bottom line was...

Making Him have a connection with 【Origin】 again.

Not bad, 【Death】 doesn't want to have a connection with 【Origin】!

This matter can be seen from An Mingyu's death. The death caused by 【Origin】 will lead the dead life to a direction not in the universe, so the life that died because of this is equivalent to detaching from 【Death】's control on the path of death, wandering outside His authority.

You have to know, death has always been the greatest offering to 【Death】, and also the purest piety. But if even death doesn't belong to 【Death】, then what kind of god would this 【Him】 who holds the divine name and authority of 【Death】 be?

So 【Death】 has been avoiding this situation. Fortunately, for lives in the universe, 【Origin】 is too far away. Even if there are lives that die because they accidentally learned the divine name of 【*Him】, just let that lonely "death" dissipate along with the unknown guidance.

But this time it was different. An Mingyu's death, under the guidance of some "people", was linked to Him who holds 【Death】 in the universe. In this way, the power of 【Death】 and the power of 【Origin】 were entangled.

【*Him】 created everything, and the gods cannot violate it. Although on the surface all gods "worship" 【*Him】, who knows which of Him might have other thoughts?

【Deception】 counts as one, and also the only one on the surface, and He is looking for the second one.

"Hee~"

"Old bone, your breath of 【Death】 isolated the inside and outside of the void. Just right, why not, today, let us be honest with each other."

"The moment your anger ignited, you should have known you were exposed."

"You are also afraid of 【*Him】, aren't you?"

"【Origin】, is My divine name, bestowed with authority, I, naturally, should, be in awe."

"Awe, naturally, is fear."

"No, no, no, I found that your means of confusing concepts are very similar to mine. It seems you have also learned a lot from my authority."

"However, you know I'm not talking about this 'fear'."

"Fine, since you mean this, I'll change the way of asking."

"Clearly you could take back your power of 【Death】 with one lift of your hand, letting that player dissipate toward the place of 【Origin】, why didn't you do it?"

"Don't tell me it's for some clown. Ha, the clown's face isn't that big."

"And don't tell me it's for 【Fate】's face. His face, in your place, isn't worth money."

"I guess..."

"You probably don't want to watch yourself 'lose' to 【Origin】, letting the death stained with 【Death】 divine power escape your control."

"Oh my, your obsession is also very heavy."

"It seems some people's rebellious period is in their twilight years."

"..."
