Chapter 880: The God Who Saves Lives Has Arrived

The God Who Saves Lives Has Arrived

"So, why me?"

After this man and god were silent for a long time, Cheng Shi looked up and asked this question with a complex expression.

He had asked 【Memory】 this question, asked 【Deception】 this question. 【Memory】 told him that the master of the 【Nothingness】 era had chosen him, so all the gods were interested in him;

【Deception】 told him that He hadn't chosen Cheng Shi, but had chosen Himself.

Now, this question was asked of 【Fate】. The spirals in those eyes stopped rotating for a moment, and She stared at Cheng Shi with a posture that wasn't too cold, and after a long silence, She said slowly:

"Because of the 'fixed' path; it wasn't that I chose you, but that the 'fixed' path is in you."

"But Patron, isn't the 'fixed' path your authority!?" Cheng Shi didn't understand. He stared with wide eyes, wanting an explanation, but then he realized what 【Fate】's words meant.

The 'fixed' path was indeed 【Fate】's authority, but this authority was... bestowed by 【Origin】!

So the true source was in 【Origin】!?

Did 【He】 choose himself??

Thinking of this, a feeling of fear, even greater than before, boiled in Cheng Shi's heart. At this moment, he finally experienced the fear of facing 【Origin】 directly, and never had he felt so close to the God of Fun as he did at this moment.

There was a reason for the existence of the Fear Sect; no one liked being targeted for no reason.

Cheng Shi's face turned pale, covered in cold sweat. He didn't dare to think about anything related to 【Him】, fearing that his wandering thoughts would attract unknown gazes, so he could only mutter in his heart, praying for the God of Fun to come and take him away quickly, to leave this Patron of the Proximity Sect, 【Fate】, who was becoming increasingly firm.

However, the other member of the Fear Sect had no response to this, which made Cheng Shi's heart sink slowly.

But there was still a turning point.

Perhaps because 【Fate】 had always been protecting Her believer, or perhaps the path to the 'fixed' path was inherently full of changes, just as Cheng Shi was frantically wanting to leave this oppressive void, a savior really came!

But it wasn't 【Deception】, it was...

【Annihilation】!

【Annihilation】, having waited for the opportunity, appeared in the void for the first time, dragging Her countless worlds that were about to collapse before Cheng Shi.

But before She could annihilate this lucky person chosen by 【Nothingness】 to please Herself, She was imprisoned in the void just inches away from Cheng Shi by the endless cold wind of nothingness.

【Fate】's eyes returned to coldness at this moment. She looked at 【Annihilation】 who had suddenly appeared before Her, and issued the most cold and ruthless disdain in the universe:

"Who gave you the courage, 【Annihilation】?"

【Annihilation】!?

Cheng Shi, whose thoughts were chaotic, hadn't noticed the changes in the void yet. Upon hearing his Patron's voice, he looked up abruptly, and then met a pair of profound eyes that were close at hand, rolling with the ashes of the universe and collapsing infinitely inward.

This is 【Annihilation】?

Is She here to save me?

Just as this thought arose, Cheng Shi saw the playfulness in those profound eyes. No, something was wrong!

She wasn't here to save anyone; She was here to... kill!

Fuck, 【Annihilation】 wants to kill me!?

Why?

Cheng Shi was shocked. The oppressive feeling of a god being close at hand was truly too terrifying, so much so that the peak fear at that moment completely crushed the Clown's reason, making him move instinctively.

He saw his left hand reach forward and blast a Thunder Punishment fed by his own fear toward 【Annihilation】 before him, while his right hand snapped his fingers, activating the entanglement of 【Fate】 and 【Time】, sending himself back to the space that had almost been turned into a puppet by 【Silence】.

This set of actions was smooth and flowing; if it were performed in a trial, no one could help but praise it as "good."

But unfortunately, Cheng Shi wasn't facing a player, let alone an NPC, but a true god.

His tricks were like a clown's antics in the eyes of a true god, and that tiny thunder light was more like a spotlight illuminating the Clown's retreating figure. This resistance, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, was useless except for amusing the audience.

But the problem was that neither of the two people on the scene could laugh.

【Fate】 had been cold since ancient times, rarely having a joyful face except when facing the 'fixed' path, so it was normal not to laugh at this time.

As for 【Annihilation】...

She couldn't laugh.

Or rather, no one in Her position could laugh, because the scene that had just happened was clearly a mortal "declaring war" on a true god with an unknown attack!

This clumsy clown actually wanted to challenge the authority of a true god in front of a true god!

What a path of blasphemy!!

In the long river of time over the past tens of thousands of years, no mortal life had ever dared to make such a crazy move as Cheng Shi was doing right now.

A mortal blasted a thunderbolt at a true god, and this thunderbolt even contained the aura of the rival 【Death】!

How did he dare?

【Annihilation】 was so angry She laughed. For a moment, She suddenly understood why 【Deception】 had chosen such a player; he was probably very much to 【Deception】's taste, and his behavior was quite in His style.

But for a mortal to dare to provoke Her like this undoubtedly stimulated 【Annihilation】's hostile emotions, which already had objections to 【Nothingness】, so She annihilated 【Fate】's shackles, attempting to completely annihilate that clown in the void.

However, 【Fate】 couldn't possibly let the other party break Her 'fixed' path, so a new war was staged in the void again.

And this time, the commotion was much greater than during the civil war of 【Nothingness】.

The boundless pitch-black peeled off in sheets, the inside of nothingness appeared and was buried, the power of 【Fate】 was as thick as star pulp, almost solidifying the entire space into eternity, while the aura of 【Annihilation】 overflowed violently, disintegrating everything that appeared into ash.

The two divine powers entangled and ground each other out, the stray ownerless divinity exploded and buzzed, and the sparks of war that had originally flashed and disappeared grew with the wind, instantly evolving into a world-destroying flame that almost dragged down the universe.

For a time, the gazes of all 【Them】 were fixed here.

The situation began to stalemate. 【Annihilation】 was in a hurry, knowing that the cage of 【Decay】 couldn't trap those two for long, so upon realizing that She couldn't annihilate that favorite of 【Nothingness】 under 【Fate】's nose at all, Her eyes sank rapidly.

"【Nothingness】 are all lunatics. You and 【Deception】 have clearly split long ago, so why do you still protect His believer? He wants to use this to stay away from 【Origin】, but you are tirelessly approaching 【Him】. I am helping you solve the trouble, but you want to stop me now. 【Fate】, have you gone stupid?"

【Fate】 snorted coldly, saying nothing, just blindly increasing the intensity on the other party.

"..."

【Annihilation】 was silent.

You can't reason with a lunatic at all.

【Deception】 hadn't fought so hard for His believer, but this 【Fate】... it was as if Her reverse scale had been touched; it looked like She was determined to keep Her here today.

With the 【Alliance】 above, 【Annihilation】 wasn't afraid of circling with 【Fate】, but the problem was that because of the inheritability of the authority restrictions in the 【Alliance】, She had to be wary that once others smelled the scent and descended here, would they fish in troubled waters like She had done before, and would they use a reasonable imprisonment to divide Her authority like 【Truth】 had done?

Don't forget, 【Annihilation】 had messengers outside.

So, upon feeling that the spatial fluctuations around Her were becoming increasingly intense and that people were already attempting to descend, 【Annihilation】 had to grit Her teeth and swallow Her failure—a failure of an "assassination" of a mortal—and turn around to leave.

However, 【Fate】 didn't want to let Her go at all. She was angered by this "unprincipled" madman who wanted to break the 'fixed' path. She put down everything in Her hands and chased after 【Annihilation】, and in the process of the pursuit, She issued a divine oracle to all believers of 【Fate】:

Cut off the fate of 【Annihilation】!

For the players of 【Fate】, this was undoubtedly an incredible oracle. How could a mortal cut off the fate of a true god?

But since the oracle had appeared, it meant that it wasn't the Patron's oracle that was wrong, but their understanding.

So for a time, the fanatical believers who wanted to fulfill the oracle set their sights on the believers of 【Annihilation】 in the trials, just as the current believers of 【Annihilation】 were secretly plotting against the believers of 【Death】.

The war of faith suddenly erupted in the game in a bizarre way. ===== CHAPTER 881 =====
