Lively Void

Void, and not void.

There is clearly nothing here, but those who step into it can still feel the distortion of space here. Of course, perhaps what is distorted is not space, but time.

Countless invisible streams of light are merging, gathering, crossing, and splitting here. They either run parallel on the same line or are mixed and entangled, both surging toward an unclear future and circling back to a long-blurred past.

But no matter how these light trajectories are, or where they lead, they are always trapped in this corner, like prisoners shackled, unable to escape.

This is like a prison cell, a strange prison cell, with no screaming, no protest, only mechanical distortion and eternal silence.

But soon, this silence was broken.

A pair of eyes filled with starlight and spirals opened in the center of this space-time without warning. As soon as He appeared, all the invisible streams of light were dyed with colorful colors by the brilliant stars in His eyes. At the same time, His arrival also made these streams of light become more boiling and distorted.

And only then could these manifested streams of light be seen by life, and could life outside this space-time realize that this was not an empty void, but a black hole that held back countless times.

That black hole was originally entrenched here without abnormality, but with the arrival of these eyes, it instantly sucked up all the time within sight, suddenly shrank, and turned into a pair of black-hole-like eyes, opening opposite those starry eyes.

Distorted brilliance flowing fast and slow flowed in those black-hole eyes, and every blink seemed to witness the drying up and abundance of a river of time.

The bloodshot eyes were even more like the riverbed of time, connecting the directions of unknown futures and pasts.

"Long time no see."

He greeted the eyes that had come uninvited.

But those eyes of starlight and spirals were so cold that before He even spoke, a howling cold wind of nothingness blew in the void.

"Long time no see?

Do you remember that your divine name is 【Time】 and not 【Deception】?

Although the 【Convention】 prohibits gods from excessively interfering with trials, it does not prohibit us from watching. You racked your brains to block my gaze outside the trial. Have you ever thought that what is set is set? Even without my gaze, my believers can still cross the barrier and reach the other shore."

"...?"

Slight confusion appeared in the black-hole eyes. He seemed to want to say something, but before He could speak, the other party had already made a move.

【Fate】 did not give 【Time】 any time. His cold gaze sank, and the entire nothingness began to collapse violently, pulling 【Existence】 madly toward the endless 【Nothingness】.

The brilliance in those black-hole eyes was constantly destroyed and dissipated, and then lit up again from the past and future. He stayed where He was and sighed softly, without explaining anything, and continued to remain silent.

The other party's attitude of not resisting at all made 【Fate】's eyes freeze, seemingly realizing something.

And it was also at this time that another pair of eyes drawn with starlight and spirals opened above Their heads. These starry eyes, whose corners were high up as soon as they appeared, looked down at the two below with a giggle, clicking their tongues and saying:

"Don't fight, don't fight. Although 【Time】 and 【Fate】 are opposites, who says opposites must be life-and-death? Perhaps being as close as a family is the scene 【His】 most wants to see.

We are ultimately brothers and sisters, how can a family have such great hatred.

Hee~

You say, right?"

Although this sounded like persuading a fight, the tone of watching the fun and not fearing the chaos couldn't be thicker.

"It's you!"

【Fate】 suddenly realized who was making trouble in the previous trial, but what He couldn't figure out was that even if 【Deception】 was rebellious, there should be no reason to help an 【Existence】 that wanted to approach 【Origin】 more than Himself!

It is almost an indisputable fact that 【Existence】 is close to 【Origin】. They descended with divine names in the new era and began to spread their respective wills from the beginning of the era.

【Time】 opened up countless riverbeds of time, deduced countless worlds, and personally marked every strand of time, just to present a more colorful universe to 【His】.

【Memory】 is the same. He extracts 【Time】's markings in the sea of memories and puts them into the collection hall, unraveling countless dead knots of history and smoothing out countless doubts of memory, looking forward to attracting 【His】 gaze again.

It is precisely these two 【Existences】 that are diametrically opposed to 【Deception】's rebellious mind, so why would He, who also belongs to 【Nothingness】, "help" an 【Existence】 to block Himself?

Is this right?

This is not right, no matter how you look at it, it's not right.

Thus 【Fate】 was angry.

When He was angry, the universe might not change color, but the void would definitely change color.

The entire void froze instantly. No matter who was traveling in the void at this time, they felt a terrifying pressure from the depths of nothingness. This pressure that made people almost unable to breathe almost crushed everything in the void. Fortunately, another master of 【Nothingness】 intervened in time, which did not let the void completely collapse at this moment.

"You're for real?" 【Deception】 blinked innocently.

"Don't you want to fight?

Come, fight!"

As He spoke, endless cold winds of nothingness rose out of thin air in front of 【Deception】, instantly freezing those giggling eyes into ice sculptures.

But even though He was beaten, He was still laughing.

The corners of the ice sculpture's eyes remained high, and the pulled lines were filled with mockery and sarcasm no matter how you looked at them.

However, 【Fate】 didn't care. He had long been accustomed to cold eyes and mockery, especially the cold eyes and mockery from His sibling god, but 【Deception】's eyes undoubtedly fueled His anger, making Him drag this entire void into the battle situation very quickly.

"Boom—"

That's right, the entire void, He didn't even let 【Time】 go, preparing to fight two alone.

"..."

The black-hole eyes were inexplicably involved in the civil war of 【Nothingness】. He sighed, looking like He didn't want to stay here for long, so He also moved, but the direction of this movement...

He materialized all the void He saw and used this to control 【Deception】!

He was helping 【Fate】 beat up another 【Nothingness】!

"???"

【Deception】 was unhappy. What's going on? I came over to say nice things to you, and you helped my sister beat me?

The eyes in the ice sculpture suddenly glanced at 【Time】, showing disdain, and then the eyelids made of ice blinked lightly, disappearing before the two gods instantly. At the same time, strange voices came from all directions of the void.

"Yo, I said being as close as a family was just talk, you guys really are as close as a family, right?

My good sister, you teamed up with 【Existence】 to sneak attack me, are you preparing to join 【Time】 and rebel out of 【Nothingness】?"

"Noisy!"

"Boom—"

The void turned into 【Existence】 disintegrated again, countless reality fragments were wrapped by the giant waves of nothingness, surging toward all directions. The target was clearly 【Deception】 hidden under the void and... 【Time】 who had just helped Him.

【Fate】, it seems, is not prepared to let any god go.

"..."
