Chapter 740: It wasn't me who turned Him, but [Fate]

It wasn't me who turned Him, but 【Fate】

"Alright, no need to emphasize that you are a Clown. Piety is in doing, not in saying.

Now tell me, how do you want to break through the false appearances of 【Nothingness】 one by one for your new benefactor?"

"......"

Cheng Shi twitched the corner of his mouth, wanting to point at something and curse, but he knew he couldn't, so he stifled his anger, snorted heavily, and said:

"I have already broken through the false appearances of 【Nothingness】. I exposed the fake 【Time】 and saw my Lord 【Deception】!"

"?"

Those eyes were stunned, and the spirals in them spun rapidly because of Cheng Shi's words. He laughed, looking very appreciative of the Clown's quick-wittedness, but He still didn't let the Clown off:

"Not bad, your mind is very clear.

In that case, should I reward you for your piety in the face of 【Time】 without changing your expression?"

Cheng Shi was angry, but he could still tell the difference between sarcasm and true praise. He didn't dare to ask for any reward now; he just wanted to know what was going on with this inexplicable faith fusion today, so he helplessly opened his mouth:

"Let's forget about the reward of Nothingness, benefactor, I......"

"Very good, you gave up the reward yourself." Those eyes interrupted Cheng Shi's words playfully, but in the next second, the upturned corners of the eyes were flattened, and a cold storm rose in the eyes, "Since you don't want a reward, let's talk about punishment."

"?"

*No!? *

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded. He blinked innocently, thinking that he had indeed done many blasphemous things today, but he had truly offered 【Deception】—so where did the punishment come from?

Those eyes looked at Cheng Shi with a sneer and judged mercilessly:

"Arbitrarily speculating and misinterpreting the will of the gods is an act of blasphemy. Blaspheming your own benefactor is a crime on top of a crime. Instigating followers of 【Existence】 to blaspheme their own benefactor is even more unforgivable.

I originally wanted to let your merits and demerits cancel each other out in view of your daily piety, but......

Hee~

You gave up the reward yourself. Hmm, let me think about what crime I should judge you for?"

"!!!???"

*No, ah!? *

*Can you play like this? *

Cheng Shi was numb. He stood blankly on the spot, looking at his benefactor with unfocused eyes, thinking: *Benefactor, stop it. The outside is full of Clowns, and they are all named Cheng Shi. If you continue like this, this world will be dyed red by the noses of Clowns...... *

Seeing that Cheng Shi suddenly gave up quibbling and struggling, the God of Joy, who had been laughing, sighed and shook his head with emotion:

"Sure enough, when you see too many Clowns, they aren't that funny anymore.

What a pity. It seems I need to find some new fun.

Alright, my time is limited. If you have anything you want to ask, ask quickly. If you stand there stupidly without speaking, I will have to suspect whether you are the darling of 【Silence】."

"!!!"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi instantly gained spirit. Finally, he reached the main point. Benefactor, if you let me ask, then I have too many questions.

Cheng Shi stood straight, looking up at those eyes with burning eyes. The first question pointed directly to the theme of the day.

"Benefactor, why did you let 【Fate】 merge with 【Time】?"

"Hmm, good question, next one."

"?"

Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment, blinked, and said: "You haven't answered yet?"

"I didn't say I would answer either. I just told you to ask quickly."

"......" Cheng Shi was angry and laughed. He nodded continuously, muttering "Good, good, good," and then suddenly looked up and continued to ask, "Then the second question, why did you let 【Fate】 merge with 【Time】?"

"......" Those eyes stopped laughing. He looked at his follower, and the spirals stopped rotating.

"Benefactor, can I ask the third question? My third question is why did you let 【Fate】 merge with 【Time】?"

This time 【Deception】 finally reacted. Those eyes blinked for a moment, and the corners of the eyes turned up again.

"If there wasn't a god named 【Persistence】 among the gods, I would have thought......"

"I am the darling of 【Persistence】, right? Yes, I am. My fourth question is......"

"Alright, in view of the fact that the darling of 【Persistence】 is still quite clever today, I will bestow an answer upon you."

Those eyes turned gently and playfully said: "Don't you think it's fun to let opposing faiths merge?"

"......"

Good, good, good. Sure enough, it's fun. So this is the reason why you bestowed a second faith upon the Dragon King?

Watching your own fun?

As expected of you!

Cheng Shi was speechless. He pondered for a moment and then asked suspiciously:

"But if this is fun, why didn't you let me merge with 【Memory】?

In this way, I would have both 【Nothingness】 and 【Existence】. Wouldn't the fun be doubled?"

"Bold! Clown, pay attention to your words. Could it be that you want to blaspheme God to His face?

I am the god of 【Nothingness】. How can I merge with an 【Existence】?

That matter of the 【Memory】 follower was just a gift bestowed casually. Followers tricked into joining are one thing, but actively compromising with 【Existence】—isn't that betraying 【Nothingness】!?"

"???" Cheng Shi was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth and pointed to a direction outside the sky, confused: "Benefactor, I want to ask, isn't 【Fate】 the god of 【Nothingness】? Isn't 【Time】 an 【Existence】?

You pushed this fusion, too. How is it betraying 【Nothingness】?"

【Deception】 thought seriously for a second and said seriously: "I understand what you mean, so you want to say that 【Fate】 betrayed 【Nothingness】?"

"......"

???

*No, what did you understand? *

*Who exactly betrayed 【Nothingness】? *

*Which 【Nothingness】 instigated all of this today? *

*You are playing 【Fate】 and acting 【Time】 here. In the end, after the faith fusion is finished, you still want to put the blame on me? *

*You don't want to think about how big the pot thrown by a god is. Let alone me, can those messengers and sub-gods carry it? *

*You really treat me as a dish, but even a dish can't carry a pot. That's all for the pot...... *

*Whoever wants to carry it can carry it, anyway, I won't. *

Cheng Shi was speechless. His eyelids twitched twice, and he said righteously: "No, no, no, a god betrayed 【Nothingness】, but I don't think it's 【Fate】."

"Then who do you think it is?" The eyes smiled half-heartedly.

"...... I don't know, I still need to investigate further." Cheng Shi stiffened his neck and played dumb.

"Pfft—

No god betrayed 【Nothingness】. This era is the era of 【Nothingness】, and no one will stay away from 【Nothingness】.

As a walker of 【Nothingness】, you must look at everything from the perspective of 【Nothingness】.

Who said that the fusion of the two of them must be a problem with 【Nothingness】? What if 【Time】 betrayed 【Existence】?"

"!!!"

Cheng Shi was shocked. He widened his eyes and silently digested the God of Joy's statement, thinking: *This 【Time】 that has no time actually has time to rebel? *

*He became a double agent? *

*Then what am I? *

*A follower of a double agent? *

*But...... why? *

Cheng Shi was extremely confused. He looked up at the God of Joy again and asked in disbelief: "You...... turned 【Time】?"

【Deception】 shook his head and said meaningfully:

"It wasn't me who turned Him, but 【Fate】."

"What do you mean?"

"Literal meaning. Why, Clown, you just merged with 【Time】 and you are so interested in 【Time】?

How come I have never heard you ask about your other benefactor...... 【Fate】?"
