【Death】's Probing

The situation on the field changed quickly. 【Fate】 was tired of this cat-and-mouse game, so She stood on the spot, divine power rising wildly, once again making the universe move toward misfortune.

The gods present were very helpless toward this irritable master of 【Nothingness】. Although the collapse of the universe was enough to conform to the will of 【Nothingness】, it was contrary to the will of all other paths, so the gods wouldn't let 【Fate】 unleash Her ultimate move, and the way they stopped 【Fate】 was also interesting.

They didn't simply dissuade or join forces to counter, but prepared to help Her, first by beating 【Annihilation】 out.

This wasn't a conventional line of thinking. Before the arrival of 【Nothingness】, any individual who dared to resist the majority of gods would be besieged, but since the arrival of the 【Nothingness】 era, or to put it more bluntly, since 【Deception】 "sold" the 【Alliance】, no one wanted to provoke 【Nothingness】 anymore.

One lunatic was enough to give people a headache, plus a noisy "flea"...

Yes, the 【Alliance】 was protecting divine power from being lost, but the 【Alliance】 also protected the annoying attributes of the "flea."

The gods all knew that 【Nothingness】 was of one mind. Even if they seemed split at the moment, who dared to bet that this wasn't a facade of 【Nothingness】?

If they countered 【Fate】 to stop this war this time, as long as 【Nothingness】 still existed, no one could withstand the retaliation from any one of them.

But compared to 【Nothingness】, 【Sinking】 was much easier to bully.

【Filth】 never appeared, 【Decay】 had no more energy, as long as they dealt with the remaining 【Annihilation】, it could even be said that 【Sinking】 had lost the possibility of competing for any future with other paths.

There were no fools among the gods present, especially 【Truth】. When seeing the situation move in the direction She expected, She bestowed the guidance of 【Truth】 to Her believers for the first time, letting all the "scholars" let go and search for the traces of 【Annihilation】's messenger, 【Hand of the Pure Moth】 Herobos.

And then She joined this "hunt" in person.

The scene suddenly became one against two.

The embers of war began to spread, and at this time, the true god named 【War】 was just standing in the corner of the void, silently watching all this, never having taken any action.

Seeing this, 【Silence】 rarely glanced at Him, but coincidentally, at the moment 【Silence】 shifted Her gaze, a fish-bone hall descended with a bang behind those eyes of blood and fire, and a huge skull slowly floated over from the bone throne.

【Death】 had arrived.

The moment He descended, 【Silence】 disappeared directly.

【War】 looked calmly at 【Death】 behind Him and buzzed: "You should be on the battlefield, not here."

"?"

The green flames in the huge skull's eyes swayed, only feeling that these words shouldn't be said to Him by 【War】, so He returned the words, and added a sentence:

"Standing here, it should be 【Order】. You, being so orderly, are you ultimately trying to inherit 【Order】's throne, or steal His authority?"

【War】 was silent. After a moment, He buzzed: "The 【Alliance】 explicitly prohibits starting a divine war."

"But, divine war, has already begun," the huge skull looked at the battlefield, confused. "You, if, really care, about the 【Alliance】, should use, your authority, to stop, the already, occurring, war.

But you, still haven't, regarding this, you, don't want, to explain, explain?"

Explaining was definitely not going to happen. 【War】 fell silent again.

The huge skull glanced at Him and suddenly let out a tooth-aching laugh.

"I, am very curious, are you, still, 【War】?

You, is it possible, that you are, 【Silence】's, puppet substitute, or, in the sea of desire, split, 【Order】?

Only, this way, can, explain, why you, would become, like this..."

With the exchange between the two, the divine war below also began to become increasingly hot.

【Annihilation】 could barely parry 【Fate】's pursuit, but if another 【Truth】 with ulterior motives were added, this war basically had no chance of winning for Her, especially since She also saw the arrival of Her rival.

So at a certain moment, after getting rid of 【Fate】 and 【Truth】's strangulation, She escaped directly into Her own world, annihilated all traces, and disappeared before the gods.

And 【Death】, who was watching 【Annihilation】 disappear beside Him, hadn't taken action. The flames in those eyes of blood and fire burned for a moment, and He buzzed again:

"You are not 【Death】, you are..."

Before the words fell, a stark white fish-bone hall descended on... the first fish-bone hall.

And when the huge skull in the second fish-bone hall saw another self under His feet, He finally knew what someone's so-called probing was about.

It turned out He didn't need to probe Himself, but just a shell!

Yes, the latecomer was the true 【Death】. As for who the first one was...

"【Deception】, I, need an, explanation!"

Listening to this earth-shaking roar, the "huge skull" beside 【War】 giggled and blinked at 【War】 with those empty eye sockets, saying:

"Look, old bones just like to ask people for explanations. It seems my acting wasn't unfaithful.

Hmm, you too."

Saying this, the "huge skull" looked up at the "other self" above His head and argued (hai) (gan) (jiao) (bian):

"Old bones, you were the one trapped. I, in order to help you complete the promise you made to me, spared no effort to come out in person. You don't thank me, so why are you still angry?

Hee~

Menopause is really terrible."

After saying this, the first fish-bone hall and the "huge skull" instantly collapsed into a torrent of nothingness and disappeared, leaving only the gloomy 【Death】 and the solemn 【War】 facing each other, not knowing what else to say.

An absurd farce ended with an even more absurd ending. The gods watching the battle intentionally retreated when 【Deception】 arrived. Seeing 【Annihilation】 run away, they naturally wouldn't stay here to bear 【Fate】's anger.

For a time, only the cold 【Fate】 and... the smiling 【Truth】 remained in the void.

【Truth】 had never left, or rather, She chose to enter the game not just because She coveted 【Annihilation】's authority. Don't forget, it was precisely She who witnessed the transaction between 【Fate】 and 【Memory】, which led to Her subsequent investigation into the truth of 【Nothingness】.

So at this moment, after helping 【Fate】, She naturally couldn't leave directly, but wanted to collect some news from 【Fate】.

She looked at this master of 【Nothingness】 who was still full of anger and smiled lightly:

"If you want 【Sinking】 to sink just like this, I might be able to recommend myself as your ally. I know you aren't interested in 【Annihilation】's authority, but it just so happens that I have some interest, so, shall we have a cooperation, 【Fate】?

A cooperation that sees the truth and fate."

Those star-like eyes covered in frost glanced at 【Truth】 before Her and sneered:

"I know what you want isn't just 【Annihilation】's authority, but you've found the wrong person.

I don't need any help to send Her to see true annihilation.

She will understand that the end of annihilation isn't Herself, but 【Nothingness】."

Hearing the refusal, 【Truth】 didn't have any annoyance, but still smiled:

"Practice is the only way to test truth. We have cooperated before, and it was quite pleasant, so why not try cooperating again?

Whether it's your sibling god 【Deception】 who never tells the truth, or your busy and mysterious rival 【Time】, compared to them, I am more like a trustworthy partner, aren't I?"

"Your cooperation is nothing more than wanting to know about my transaction with 【Memory】, but you also said that one must face the authority of 【Memory】 squarely. Since I have already completed the transaction, I won't remember what I forgot.

But I can tell you what I haven't forgotten:

I am the essence of 【Nothingness】, holding the authority of 【Fate】, perceiving the changes of the present, and witnessing the fixed future.

It's a pity that no matter how trustworthy you are, in the changes and fixed path of the era, there has never been a trace of you.

You've taken the wrong path, 【Truth】. Take care of yourself."

Having said this, 【Fate】 disappeared into the void, leaving only 【Truth】 looking in the direction She disappeared, shaking Her head and laughing:

"If all paths were right, then I would already be 【Truth】, wouldn't I?" ===== CHAPTER 883 =====
