One-on-One of the Fear Sect

When Cheng Shi opened his eyes and found that he was still in the void, his cold sweat refreshed instantly.

What did I just do?

Launched a Thunder Judgment against 【Annihilation】!?

No, Cheng Steady, you've been steady your whole life, how did you fall into the biggest pit?

Can this still be counted as blasphemy? Isn't this an attempt at god-slaying!?

How did you dare?

Cheng Shi was stunned. He kept asking himself, but still couldn't answer this question.

His heartstrings were pulled very tight. He wasn't just reflecting, he was also sizing up this void. First, he had to confirm that 【Annihilation】 wasn't around, and then he could think about which existence had intercepted him.

Fortunately, everything around was safe, and the void had returned to its familiar calm, which allowed Cheng Shi to recover and start organizing his thoughts to seek a "justification" for his god-slaying act.

He looked at the Death Fun Ring on his finger, thinking that this was a prop created for him by that lord, so was there a possibility that it wasn't he who wanted to raise his hand to release that thunderbolt, but that lord "borrowing" his hand to strike Her rival?

Hiss—

Seems to make some sense.

But this excuse... regardless of whether that lord admits it or not, could 【Annihilation】 swallow it?

Her arrival didn't look like an accident. The desire for annihilation in Her eyes when She looked at him was full of it; it looked like She had come for him...

So why would a god of 【Sinking】 want to annihilate him without warning?

Wasn't She always approaching 【Nothingness】?

Then why wasn't it a gaze of favor, but a murderous intent of annihilation that She cast upon him?

So this is what your proximity is, letting 【Nothingness】 embrace 【Annihilation】?

Cheng Shi frowned, feeling that he had forgotten something related to 【Annihilation】. Just as he was carefully searching for the lost past in the corner of his memory, a pair of cold star-like eyes opened before his eyes again.

As soon as She appeared, the void rolled with boundless cold wind. She stared at Cheng Shi below and spoke coldly, word by word:

"Your courage is growing increasingly large, daring to commit such a god-slaying act. Do you feel that 【Nothingness】 has protected you too much, to the point that you have developed arrogance!?"

"..."

These words, combined with the cold tone, were enough to make one fearful. In other words, this almost counted as a judgment on Cheng Shi.

But strangely, Cheng Shi, who had just been lingering in fear, wasn't afraid anymore upon hearing this. He looked at the Patron before him with a speechless expression, his eyelids twitching wildly:

"Patron, stop pretending.

If the corners of your eyes weren't curled up so obviously, perhaps I would have really been fooled by you.

If you want to laugh, just laugh; no need to hold it in.

Why give face to your own believer? Isn't the Clown just for laughing at..."

As soon as he finished speaking, those eyes that had been cold instantly bloomed with brilliant luster, star points flickering endlessly, spirals rotating backward like a stream. She giggled, sizing up the believer before Her who looked slightly restrained and uneasy, unable to stop laughing.

"Why, where did the courage you had to strike at 【Annihilation】 just now go?

You caused me such big trouble, I wasn't nervous, what are you nervous about?"

Trouble? What trouble?

Also, besides 【Origin】, what else could make you nervous?

Cheng Shi's brain was a mess. He didn't know the origin of 【Annihilation】 and 【Nothingness】, and even less about what had happened in that void after he left. Just listening to the God of Fun, he felt that the other party might be lying to him again.

Once the boss starts putting pressure on the employee, it means She wants the employee to work overtime again.

Cheng Shi didn't mind working, but he didn't want to work in a daze, so he decided to ask clearly.

But he didn't rush to open his mouth, but had a sudden thought in his heart, wanting to use the Secret-Peeking Ear in his hand to listen to what the Patron was saying in Her heart.

Ever since he got the Secret-Peeking Ear, it had been different from its appearance when he was in Sandlais. It could no longer rely on listening to peek at secrets, but only when the other party lied could it... use the Whispering Tide to say the truth behind these lies.

This effect had been verified on Long Jing, but the problem was that as long as things were related to Brother Mouth, it was hard for Cheng Shi to believe that every word it said was true.

But regardless of true or false, at least being able to hear another line of reasoning counted as a new harvest. As for what was true and what was false, he would judge for himself.

So Cheng Shi's eyes turned slightly, and he asked the pair of eyes a question:

"Patron, you're scaring me again, aren't you?"

The corners of the eyes in the void curled up again. She looked at Cheng Shi with joy and nodded:

"Yes."

"...?" Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment.

No, why are you still telling the truth?

Has She seen through his thoughts?

Hmm, it must be. In this void, there was nothing that could be hidden from Her, but since She hadn't pursued it, it meant his thoughts didn't count as blasphemy, so... continue!

"Patron, in that case, the trouble from 【Annihilation】 wasn't caused by me, but the trouble found me, right?"

Those eyes blinked gently, feeling a little comforted by his believer's sharpness, and then She replied seriously:

"Yes."

Yes...

Brother Ear and Brother Mouth had no reaction, so he would just take it as the God of Fun telling the truth. But if "yes," did that mean the saying that 【Annihilation】 was approaching 【Nothingness】 had become a thing of the past? Had 【Annihilation】 broken up with 【Nothingness】?

Why did they break up?

What major events had happened among the gods recently?

Also, what was the nervousness the God of Fun spoke of? How could a god of 【Sinking】 make the master of the current era feel nervous?

Cheng Shi couldn't figure it out. He felt that unless the conflict between the two sides had reached an irreconcilable point and a war was about to break out, and the God of Fun had long been plotting against 【Annihilation】... perhaps only then, when plotting against a god protected by the 【Alliance】, would She feel nervous.

And it was an excited nervousness, not a fearful nervousness.

So, the God of Fun wanted to swallow 【Annihilation】?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi looked up abruptly, looking at his Patron uncertainly, but before he could open his mouth, the God of Fun sneered and denied:

"No."

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Shi's mouth was "ready to go," but the eyes in the void froze, the corners of Her eyes sank, and the mouth of someone who hadn't moved yet closed honestly again.

Cheng Shi didn't even feel his mouth move. He thought, did he guess wrong?

Or was it that Brother Mouth didn't dare to defy the God of Fun at all, and didn't dare to commit this "blasphemy" with him?

The Clown wasn't sure, so he silently asked Brother Mouth in his heart:

"Brother Mouth, is what the God of Fun said true? You haven't gone mute, have you?"

The Whispering Tide listened to this rebellious questioning and fell into silence. After a long time, it said faintly:

"·What gave you the illusion that I could judge Her?

Is it the funny brain inside your stupid clown skin?"

"..."

Okay, the aggression is very strong, which means what the God of Fun just said was false, otherwise Brother Mouth wouldn't be so angry and embarrassed.

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows and silently closed his mouth, saying no more. He had already started connecting all the clues he knew, thinking about why the God of Fun would be against 【Annihilation】.

And 【Deception】, who understood all of Cheng Shi's thoughts, smiled even more brilliantly. She didn't interrupt Cheng Shi's thoughts, just quietly watching this brainstorming.

However, the mortal perspective was ultimately limited. Cheng Shi thought for a long time without coming to a result, so he decided not to waste time, but to ask some more worthy questions. ===== CHAPTER 884 =====
