Chapter 884: Not Even Pretending Anymore

Not Even Pretending Anymore

"Patron, Crown is the Whispering Tide, right?" Cheng Shi asked this question without hesitation.

He had asked before, but not so specifically. He had asked the Patron if the other party had a messenger, and the other party said yes and that it was him.

That was obviously a joke, but this time, after obtaining the container stained with the color of 【Deception】, Cheng Shi felt more and more that Brother Mouth and the others must have some unknown past, and not the tragic past like in Sandlais, but a past belonging to the "Whispering Tide."

After all, all the experiences in that "reappearance of the past" were his own smearing of history, and the secrets truly hidden under the snow of Sandlais might be far more than that.

In a history without another clown, no one knew what the Joyous Theater had experienced, but the Clown was certain that the biggest secret of the Whispering Tide was hidden under that smeared memory.

Cheng Shi thought so, but the God of Fun's answer was far below his expectations.

"No one is the Whispering Tide..." Those eyes sneered.

"But..."

"... except for you." The God of Fun changed Her tone and laughed heartily.

"..."

The expected answer left Cheng Shi speechless, but the God of Fun didn't stop there, instead continuing to ask joyfully:

"Since Little Bone told you his thoughts, why don't you believe him?"

Cheng Shi was stunned, then curled his lips and said:

"According to what you said, since the Whispering Tide is me, why do I still fear the resurrection of the Whispering Tide?

Is that what you mean, worrying that I'll use fear in other places?

Rest assured, Patron, Clowns are common, but fear is not. I believe Brother Mouth... the Whispering Tide has no malice; after all, they are all your creations.

However... Patron, I've been curious for a long time. Since I've witnessed Crown's past, I want to ask, why are they one by one more silent than the other when meeting you, unlike their usual lively selves?

Could it be that they are also afraid, also afraid of you?"

As he spoke, Cheng Shi took out the Lying Tongue and Secret-Peeking Ear he had in his hands for the first time in front of 【Deception】. He held these two five-sense brothers in his palms and raised his arms as close to those eyes as possible.

And in this process, Tongue Brother, who always liked to roll lazily, stopped rolling, and Ear Brother, who liked to expose the secrets in others' hearts, stopped making sounds. They curled up into a ball, trembling, looking just like elementary school students about to face a storm of criticism from their head teacher.

Those eyes looked at this scene with great interest and smiled lightly:

"What do you want to express?"

A sharp glint flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes, and he tentatively said with a tight heart:

"I want to know if they are... your authority?"

"Oh?" Those eyes became interested. She glanced at the creations in Cheng Shi's hands and laughed, "Do you think I bestowed authority upon you in this way?"

"I... don't think so."

No matter what the God of Fun said, Cheng Shi always felt there were pits in the other party's words, so he had learned to be obedient now, and had learned the routine of dealing with it, which was to deny the God of Fun's point of view first, and then re-express it with his own clear point of view, so as not to be led into a pit by the Patron.

"I just felt that their abilities were similar to your authority, so I specifically asked you for verification."

"Then why didn't I see you ask for verification before?"

"Because I hadn't been bestowed the 【Deception】 container before, and now I am fortunate to have this honor."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi brought out the container stained with the color of 【Deception】 in his consciousness again.

To be honest, Cheng Shi didn't actually know how to display this container, but in front of the Patron, he didn't need to worry about the process of displaying it. He just thought about displaying it, and he was certain the God of Fun would feel it.

Sure enough, when those eyes noticed the container Cheng Shi wanted to display in his consciousness, Her smile became playful again.

Seeing this smile, Cheng Shi's face stiffened, knowing he had probably guessed wrong again.

This had become a sign of him being toyed with.

"Not bad, I did bestow a container upon a certain clown, but... who told you this is a 【Deception】 container?"

"!!??"

No, what the hell?

Just when Cheng Shi was confused, those eyes blinked gently and took the container out of Cheng Shi's consciousness. It was hard to describe what it was like for the intangible to manifest into the tangible, but in the Clown's understanding, the container before his eyes, which was as brilliant as a diamond and reflected gorgeous flowing light, really looked like an abstract and twisted... hourglass.

The hourglass had no bottom and no top, spreading boundlessly. The faith gathered turned into grains of mask sand, and the divinity dripping out made strange giggling sounds. It floated before those eyes, and its reflection in the star pupils was so harmonious and unified with the star points and spirals that Cheng Shi felt this thing might have belonged to 【Deception】 all along.

But the next second, he knew he was wrong.

Because those eyes moved. He saw the star points in the eyes vanish into nothingness, turning into surging yellow mist, and the spirals in the eyes dismantled and shattered, flowing into boiling chaos. Then, a 【Chaos】 power, thick to the point of being terrifying, surged from all directions in this void, directly swallowing Cheng Shi and the container in the field, and then...

The 【Deception】 container that was still giggling began to fade slowly, turning into pure scorching white, and then gradually dyed, turning into disorderly distortion.

The container was dyed, dyed into the color of 【Chaos】.

From that moment on, the dripping was no longer dripping, but gushing; the faith didn't turn into "sand," but was molded into the outer wall of the hourglass.

Everything began to run according to the "laws" of 【Chaos】. The container that had originally looked like a 【Deception】 art piece just turned into a "waste product" stained with the aura of 【Chaos】 right before Cheng Shi's eyes.

"..."

Cheng Shi was stunned. He saw this scene, and thunder roared in his skull, his heart greatly shocked!

This wasn't just because the container changed the color of faith, but because the Patron before him...

No, why are you wearing 【Chaos】's clothes?

Good fellow, Patron, you're not even pretending anymore, are you!?

Sure enough, everything of 【Chaos】 had long been held in your hands!

Cheng Shi endured the shock in his heart and looked with burning eyes at those eyes flowing with chaotic yellow mist. Although he had never seen these eyes, and although 【Chaos】 often appeared in the image of a chaotic giant hand when descending, he was certain that this was 【Chaos】, and it was pure 【Chaos】, 【Chaos】 as pure as 【Order】.

Because the 【Chaos】 power on his body had already begun to respond to the rolling of the yellow mist, becoming scorching and boiling!

"Patron, what should I call you, 【Deception】, or 【Chaos】?"

The corners of those chaotic, muddy eyes curled high, and She meaningfully threw the question back.

"That depends on whether you are Ultraman, or the Whispering Tide..."

"..."

Cheng Shi blinked with clear eyes, thinking this question was simple.

I am Ultraman Whispering Tide. ===== CHAPTER 885 =====
