Chapter 881: The Gods Watching the Battle

The Gods Watching the Battle

The chase in the void continued.

It's interesting to say, 【Annihilation】 could clearly have escaped into Her own world to avoid the 【Fate】 of the present world, but She didn't. Instead, She kept expanding the impact of this conflict in the void, almost dragging the entire void into the battlefield.

The gods descended one after another, starting again to clean up the mess of this war that had erupted in the void. They couldn't let the universe collapse, so they had to work together to limit the violence of the battlefield.

And the initiator of this war, 【Annihilation】, was currently shuttling under the gaze of the gods, observing the attitudes of the others while resisting 【Fate】.

She wasn't a pure Proximity Sect member. After the authority related to nothingness was classified as belonging to 【Nothingness】, Her intention to approach 【Origin】 faded.

But She wasn't a Fear Sect member either, because She knew that everything She had came from 【Origin】, which was the foundation She couldn't refuse or change, so now She had become a self-amuser who practiced the will of 【Annihilation】. She only pleased Herself, and by the way, satisfied 【Origin】's expectation for 【Annihilation】.

Of course, She also had a grand wish similar to the 【Mother of Prosperity】, hoping that the universe could completely move toward annihilation at the end of the era, letting the entire era fall behind 【Annihilation】 again, rather than ending in 【Nothingness】, which no longer belonged to Her.

This move to challenge the status of the master of the era was very dangerous, so She also needed suitable allies. Initially, 【Sinking】 was Her help, and 【Existence】 was Her goal, but as time passed, 【Sinking】 disintegrated and moved toward true sinking, and 【Existence】 no longer existed and increasingly approached 【Nothingness】. The development of this situation almost "annihilated" all Her hopes.

She often wondered who was directing this script that was absolutely beneficial to 【Nothingness】. 【Fate】 and 【Deception】 were pulling strings from both sides, pushing the situation to this point. Then, in the next era after the era fell, would the authority of 【Nothingness】 usher in expansion, and would Her own authority be "nibbled away" again?

【Annihilation】 had to think this way, because Her authority came this way, and was divided this way.

The appearance of 【Origin】 was a summary of the past era. If the 【Nothingness】 color of this era was too heavy, then when the next era arrived, no one could say for sure what kind of result 【His】 commentary on this era would trigger.

【Annihilation】 didn't want to stop and just be an old god sinking in the past era, so She felt She had to make some noise in this era, and annihilating the "offering" created by 【Nothingness】 was undoubtedly the best way to please Herself and offer to 【Origin】.

After all, 【Nothingness】's offering was an offering, and 【Annihilation】's offering was naturally an offering too.

So She had been waiting, waiting for the day She confirmed what the true 【Nothingness】 "offering" was.

Until... a player named Cheng Shi obtained the container hidden by 【Deception】 in a trial, 【Annihilation】 felt She had waited for the opportunity.

So She made a move, and then She failed, and was even spat on by this "offering."

Of course, the failure of the action had nothing to do with that "offering," but with the short-tempered 【Fate】 behind Her. She really couldn't understand, why could a player named Cheng Shi, who clearly did everything in deviation from fate, still receive the gaze and favor of 【Fate】?

It was precisely because of this reason that She began to look for gods among the onlookers who also couldn't understand this behavior. She didn't rush to leave just to find potential "allies" among the remaining ones.

So, both the parties involved and the onlookers were observing.

The first to descend to the periphery of the battlefield was a pair of eyes covered in chaotic white miasma. She only glanced at the battlefield, then disdainfully left a sentence, "Pointless foolish act, a waste of time," and then left.

Immediately after, 【Birth】, 【Truth】, 【War】, and 【Chaos】 descended one after another. Even 【Silence】, who had just been scared away by 【Deception】, returned, locking Her gaze on 【Fate】 again.

She seemed very interested in this 【Fate】.

However, no matter how big the commotion these two made, the others never intervened, just silently holding up this void that was about to shatter, so as not to let the universe collapse.

During this period, 【Truth】 looked at 【Birth】 with burning eyes and asked a question that made the others extremely confused.

"【Birth】, is your devotion still devout?"

What kind of question was this?

Could there still be someone in this universe questioning 【Birth】's devotion?

As long as there was still a race continuing in this world, it could be counted as 【Birth】's devotion. After all, She was the prelude to life, the origin of all things, the first true god recognized by 【Origin】, and the recognized unquestionable Proximity Sect member.

However, 【Birth】's 【Divine Pillar】 didn't answer 【Truth】's question. She just silently emitted the aura of 【Birth】, making 【Truth】 frown and step back a little.

【Truth】 pondered for a moment, then looked at 【Silence】. Although She knew the other party wouldn't say anything, She still asked:

"What agreement did you and 【Deception】 reach?"

【Silence】 was silent as always. She silently watched 【Fate】, not even willing to spare a glance to look at the questioner.

However, 【Truth】 didn't care about the other party's reaction, because Her goal wasn't 【Silence】 itself, but to observe the reactions of other gods around Her through this question. She was like a simple scholar, burying Her head and trying hard to dismantle the mysteries of this universe, finding the thread hidden by 【Nothingness】.

She was now confirming that 【Nothingness】 must have hidden some secret from the gods. As for where this suspicion came from...

It was precisely that previous transaction with 【Memory】.

Although She didn't know the content of the transaction between 【Fate】 and 【Memory】, through side-probing, She learned one thing from 【Memory】's mouth, which was that 【Memory】 had actually voluntarily forgotten a memory to ensure the fairness of Her transaction with 【Fate】.

For an 【Existence】, this was simply a "blasphemous" act that went against Her will, so from that moment on, suspicion was planted in 【Truth】's heart.

In addition to promoting the fusion of faith, She began to slowly investigate this matter. Thanks to Her own authority, She soon discovered that this matter might be related to several 【Them】.

【Nothingness】, 【Existence】, 【Silence】... even Her rival, 【Dementia】.

If it were just a transaction between a few true gods, this might not be a big problem, but once it involved 【Dementia】... 【Truth】 knew Her rival very well. If the other party wasn't willing to be actively involved in a matter, then no matter how great the temptation of profit, it couldn't move this god who looked down on everything.

So this matter must be extremely involved to make 【Dementia】 deeply trapped in it.

But within this universe, what could be greater than... 【Origin】?

Could it be that they had discovered another source of power comparable to 【Origin】? Or was it that they had exposed this lie called 【Origin】?

Except for these two, 【Truth】 didn't think there would be anything else that could attract 【Dementia】 to enter the game in person.

The "truth" She was tirelessly pursuing seemed to have become more interesting and attractive, which made 【Truth】 full of energy. ===== CHAPTER 882 =====
