I am willing to be the sharp blade

Actually, the old man hadn't failed to consider other faiths, but the likes of 【Corruption】 and 【Foolishness】 clearly didn't fit the vision of the so-called Fire-Spreaders, which was why he guessed whether Qin Xin might be a follower of 【War】, an Eagle-Eyed Scout.

Of course, he wasn't certain, but that didn't prevent him from turning this speculation into a rumor and spreading it.

Thus, in the trial that had just ended, he told his teammates everything about the Fire-Spreaders and his speculations about Qin Xin.

Unfortunately, that trial was too difficult; his teammates all died, and even he had almost died in the trial.

He had thought that, exhausted as he was, he would never be able to dodge the Fire-Spreaders' final blow after the trial ended, but he hadn't expected that the protection of 【Time】 would still allow him to escape and reach this place.

Thinking about it this way, could his being saved from such a desperate situation by his benefactor or Lord 【Hour Hand】 involve a game of faith?

That was it. That annoying blind man was a follower of 【Fate】, the so-called fire of the Fire-Spreaders was also quite mysterious, and that Fate-Weaver Cheng Shi they discussed was also a follower of 【Fate】. Thinking about it this way, perhaps these Fire-Spreaders were an organization that believed in and pursued 【Fate】?

It seemed only this could explain why he had "misfortune" upon him today.

【Fate】 sanctioned the followers of the rival house, while 【Time】 saved His own followers!

Thinking of this, Deng Sui's mind slowly cleared. He suddenly looked up, his eyes full of piety and gratitude, looked at "Lord Hour Hand," and said all his speculations, constantly adding fuel to the fire.

He had been tricked by those two Fire-Spreaders today until he had no tricks left and almost lost his life. Now that he had the opportunity to "complain," he naturally wouldn't let them off.

To the point that in the end, he even started spouting nonsense without blinking, saying things like "The Fire-Spreaders are an organization protected by 【Fate】 that attempts to secretly resist 【Time】."

"Lord Hour Hand, the situation we 【Time】 followers are currently facing is very difficult. 【Fate】 followers are uniting with players of other faiths to constantly squeeze our living space.

I cannot understand why these people would hate my Lord, but I think it is probably because my Lord's tolerance has caused them to lose their self-awareness.

Especially this so-called Fire-Spreader. In order to protect an ordinary 【Fate】 follower, they actually wanted to kill me—to kill the most devout follower of my Lord. This is simply an unforgivable sin!

Of course, whether a lowly person like me dies or not is irrelevant, but I am worried that my Lord's tolerance will become an excuse for them to push their luck!

In order for my Lord's will to spread further, we must fight back, let all 【Fate】 followers suffer the backlash of misfortune, cast all these damned riddle-mongers into the prison of 【Time】, and use their eternal wailing to redeem their sins of blasphemy!

And I, am willing to be the sharpest blade for my Lord, to sweep away everything for the eternity of 【Time】!"

Cheng Shi was stunned by these fabricated accusations. However, in all this nutritional-less nonsense, Cheng Shi finally gained something: he finally confirmed that the other party was indeed the old man who had escaped from the hands of the Fire-Spreaders!

*Not a chosen of God, how can you Fire-Spreaders be so incompetent? You could be turned around in a game you were sure to win? *

*If I hadn't "coincidentally" run into this 【Time】 chosen one here, your underwear would have been stripped off by others! *

He seemed to have no room for reconciliation with you Fire-Spreaders; the hatred had reached the point of life and death.

Of course, this had nothing to do with right or wrong; everyone was considering their own interests and desires, but......

Little Deng, you shouldn't have struck all 【Fate】 followers with one blow. This makes me feel like I'm being targeted too.

Even if I have some connection with the Fire-Spreaders, I didn't provoke you, and you even eavesdropped on my secrets. This ability of yours to shift the blame......

Tsk, you used it in the right place, but at the wrong time.

And your vision is a bit narrow. The Fire-Spreaders don't just resist 【Time】; they resist all gods. Even 【Deception】, who is currently protecting them, is an object they want to resist.

You might not believe it, but who told Qin Xin to be a rebel marshal......

More importantly, the 【Fate】 you want to resist at this very moment has already merged with your benefactor 【Time】. If I told you this, would you still want to be a sharp blade?

Would that be a sharp blade that devours its master, or a sharp blade that commits suicide?

Cheng Shi wanted to laugh, but the current situation made him unable to laugh at all. He had to consider how to deal with this chosen one of 【Time】.

To be honest, wanting to kill the old man was simple. Cheng Shi didn't even need to switch back to Fate to change his profession. Given the current situation, he only needed to lift his hand, and the Joy Ring would be enough to erase everything about the other party.

And he was certain that the other party had no more tricks left, otherwise he wouldn't have pinned his hopes on a tattered contract to escape.

So what Cheng Shi was struggling with was not the means to kill the other party, but the excuse to absolve himself of guilt after disposing of him!

Yes, the excuse to absolve himself of guilt.

He didn't want to find any excuse for killing this player who wanted to kill him and the Fire-Spreaders; he was thinking about how to ensure he wouldn't be "held accountable" after killing the other party.

Because he had to consider the attitude of 【Time】.

Although this very busy 【Existence】 had not appeared and had not bestowed any oracles or guidance, the old man was, after all, His chosen one, the one He had given the highest rating among many followers.

Cheng Shi had self-awareness. He knew that even if he had now become a follower of 【Time】, this identity was ultimately "tricked" by the God of Joy. As a new employee who was not legitimate and was even impersonating a director, how could he compete with the original top salesperson in the company?

Furthermore, even if 【Time】 agreed to the fusion, His attitude toward 【Fate】 was still hard to say. So Cheng Shi didn't dare to gamble on what the consequences would be if he killed the old man directly. Even with 【Nothingness】 as a guarantee, he had to come up with an excuse that at least counted as a defense.

And he quickly thought of this excuse.

Thus, he looked at Deng Sui and smiled:

"Your courage is as impressive as your piety, but I must remind you that 【Nothingness】 is not just 【Fate】.

Before the appearance is seen through, the essence will not be discovered."

Cheng Shi's words were very vague, but Deng Sui understood immediately.

Lord Hour Hand's praise was undoubtedly an affirmation of his strategy for confronting the faith, and His hint afterward directly pointed out the direction for his next actions.

So the benefactor actually wanted to make a move on 【Deception】 first?

Hiss——

It wasn't impossible, but could he avoid facing that unlucky thing and start by killing from the bottom up?

Hmm, feasible!

Deng Sui felt a joy in his heart and immediately gained spirit. He knew the moment for him to state his position had arrived, so he lowered his head devoutly and said with extreme seriousness:

"Lord Hour Hand, I am willing to be the sharp blade of faith, to break through the false appearances of this 【Nothingness】 one by one!" ===== CHAPTER 738 =====
