Chapter 877

Where did your courage from before go?

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became strange.

That giant puppet was clearly retreating at first, but after withstanding 【Fate】's offensive, He actually stopped and began to slowly examine 【Fate】 before Him again.

As everyone knows, 【Silence】 never initiates a face-to-face attack—no, never initiates a face-to-face observation.

Although He is an observer, He never interferes with the target being observed while observing. But this uncharacteristic pause today looked like a silent mockery issued after confirming that the other party posed no threat to Him.

I'm just standing here watching your incompetent rage; what can you do to me?

This provocative behavior undoubtedly angered a certain Sovereign of 【Void】, so a moment later, the entire void stalled.

Tangible offensives all vanished, the void stopped collapsing, the cold wind stopped roaring, and even the psychedelic changes around them gradually faded; the world seemed to return to black and white.

But does this mean She gave up the attack?

No, not at all!

On the contrary, this is when the horn of war truly sounded!

You must know, 【Fate】 not only holds sway over change and the predetermined, but also over misfortune and divergent paths!

Therefore, even if 【Silence】 can silence 【Fate】's influence on Himself at any time, when this Sovereign of 【Void】 attempts to drag the entire universe into divergent paths without discrimination...

"......"

【Silence】 fell silent.

You simply can't reason with a madman.

As a part of this universe, at the moment when misfortune and change are about to dominate the universe, 【Silence】 knows that He cannot be spared either, so He gave birth to the intention to retreat again.

But even so, His "retreat" remained incredibly slow; He seemed to be still observing.

However, just at this moment, someone who sensed the fun suddenly descended, appearing in this void. He opened His eyes above His sibling god's head, and the moment 【Silence】 saw those eyes...

The puppet vanished!

Vanished right on the spot.

His reaction was so swift, His movements so agile, a world of difference from His previous posture of looking back every step of the way, just like "God" suddenly clicking the volume button for a silent video; silence was suddenly pulled away from this void, leaving no trace.

Decisive, bold, and resolute!

And the moment 【Silence】's power vanished, the clown who had almost been turned into a puppet opened his eyes abruptly, tilted his head, opened his mouth, and breathed frantically, his heart filled with nameless terror and the joy of surviving death.

But in an instant, this meager joy vanished completely, because the clown was shocked to find that his two benefactors were facing off in this void again, not knowing when it started.

Those two pairs of eyes—one pair laughing as usual, the other cold as frost—glanced sideways at each other, seemingly both believing the other wasn't worth a direct look.

Hiss—

Did the benefactors save him?

One after another, or together?

Did they... make up?

It's no wonder Cheng Shi was thinking this, because this stuff is too important; it relates to how he should open his mouth to greet the two benefactors.

In this situation, getting a single word wrong won't do. Blasphemy usually just leads to being mocked, but if you fail to balance the water...

You can probably just change your account and start over.

So Cheng Shi observed the situation before him with trepidation. Seeing that neither of these two was paying attention to the other, he felt their relationship didn't seem to have eased. But with two benefactors having a conflict, what should he, the "vested interest," do?

After thinking it over, Cheng Shi felt it was better not to care about these details, deliberately blurring the issue of stance, and just showering them with praise to butter them up first.

At the very least, he had to express an attitude: no matter how much the two of you don't get along, I, this believer, am pious.

But just as he finished brewing his words and was preparing to show his piety and gratitude, the God of Fun on the side spoke first.

Still the familiar sarcasm.

"What, the mute only summoned you once, and you've started to feel pious toward him?

Being an observer is fun, right?

It seems being a puppet is more attractive than being a clown."

"......"

No, is your ability to mock current events too strong? Can this be played without a nerf?

Cheng Shi's "piety" froze on his face. He looked at the God of Fun awkwardly, opening his mouth to argue, but the words were still stuck in his throat when the other benefactor spoke again.

"How my believers are is not for others to judge, and his piety has nothing to do with you.

【Deception】, you shouldn't be here.

The agreement of 【Void】 is merely proving to you that change will ultimately move toward the predetermined, and the gaze you cast upon him will also witness this final scene.

Before my anger reaches you, leave; go find your fun."

"......"

Hearing this, the God of Fun hadn't reacted yet, but Cheng Shi was already stunned.

He blinked frantically at his other benefactor, feeling that today's 【Fate】 was different from the past.

She seemed colder and more determined.

As for what She was determined about, Cheng Shi hadn't figured it out yet.

But just because he couldn't see through it didn't mean 【Deception】 couldn't. Seeing that 【Fate】 seemed to have forgotten something, the God of Fun's gaze tightened first, and then mockery spread at the corners of his eyes.

"I really shouldn't be here, but sorry, my fun is right here.

【Fate】 is worthy of being the essence of 【Void】; this sense of self-deceiving conviction is much stronger than mine.

Clown, learn more and watch more; I told you your other benefactor is better at deceiving people than I am. How about it, have you witnessed it now?"

Although the God of Fun was happily being sarcastic, Cheng Shi truly didn't understand where 【Fate】 was self-deceiving. He looked slightly confused at those joyful eyes, and then at those cold eyes. Honestly, if the spirit in these two pairs of eyes weren't completely different, just by appearance, it would be impossible to tell who was who.

Seeing his benefactor 【Fate】 just staring coldly at 【Deception】 without speaking, Cheng Shi, suddenly curious, gathered his courage and asked:

"What did the benefactor deceive?"

This sentence was very vague. Both people present were his benefactors and both would deceive people, so although this sounded like he was asking a question based on the God of Fun's words, there was room for rebuttal if analyzed carefully.

Cheng Shi had finally learned his lesson; no matter how curious he was, he didn't dare to ask too much in front of the two benefactors with their strange atmosphere, so he could only take a roundabout way to question and save the situation.

However, no one paid any attention to his question. The God of Fun chuckled, his eyes full of playfulness. 【Fate】, on the other hand, glanced at Cheng Shi, snorted coldly, and took her believer away from this place directly, while also leaving a warning for her sibling god:

"The predetermined cannot be defied; you, behave yourself."

Watching her believer being taken away by 【Fate】, 【Deception】 was not angry at all, but instead laughed out loud on the spot.

"A good 'the predetermined cannot be defied'...

Yes, your predetermined cannot be defied, but mine is hard to say.

My good sister, I admit you are good at writing scripts, but have you ever thought that how the play is performed might not be up to the screenwriter, but up to the actors?

Heh, what a coward, not even having the courage to face herself.

Where did your courage from before go?"

After finishing, those eyes sneered and glanced toward the distant void, seemingly seeing another war erupting in the void.
