Chapter 886: Since You're Here

Since You're Here

"..."

If it were really as you said, that nothing would happen, you wouldn't feel fearful in this era.

Cheng Shi knew the Patron was hiding many things from him, but he also had self-knowledge. A mortal couldn't get involved in the struggles between the gods, not to mention that the God of Fun's current goal didn't seem to be the gods under this slice of the universe, but a higher existence beyond the universe.

So was the container bestowed upon him a symbol of Her accelerating layout?

And was the arrival of 【Annihilation】 related to Her layout? Did the God of Fun attract 【Annihilation】, or did 【Annihilation】 notice something and come to make trouble?

Those eyes saw through Cheng Shi's thoughts and sneered:

"Is She worthy?

She is just a confused fool looking for the meaning of existence for Herself.

She is not even as 'devout' as 【Decay】 of the same path. At least that stinky beggar found a true will suitable for Himself, and regardless of whether this will fits 【His】 expectation for 【Decay】, at least the stinky beggar is already on the path of proving Himself.

As for that fool, heh, just a clown amusing Himself."

"???"

No, may I ask?

The word 'clown' is almost becoming a trash can; as long as it's waste, it can be classified in.

Patron, you'd better not be pointing at the mulberry to curse the locust. If you are really shading the clown before you, then don't blame me for gossiping...

It's not daring to gossip. Better endure it.

Gossip after the God of Fun leaves, otherwise the sin of blasphemy will be added to the crime.

"So 【Nothingness】 and 【Annihilation】 have no hatred, and She came to annihilate me just to please Herself?

Patron, listening to this, it doesn't sound like 【Annihilation】, but rather like your style?

Don't tell me in a few days you'll tell me that 【Annihilation】 is actually your shell?"

Cheng Shi was afraid. The fact that he had many shells must have been "inherited" just like this.

Hmm, the upper beam is not straight, so the lower beam is crooked.

Those eyes hummed and laughed, glanced at Cheng Shi and said:

"If fantasy can alleviate the anxiety in your heart, then you might as well be bolder.

Maybe 【Origin】 is also me?

Although I know that other Patron of yours who fears will protect you as much as possible, I must remind the Clown that 【Annihilation】 is not so easy to deal with.

Be careful. Dying at Her hands won't let you see your old bone boss again. By then, don't say old bones, even I probably won't be able to find you."

"!!!"

Cheng Shi had already walked out of the fear of god-slaying, but these words from the God of Fun almost pushed him back.

"What if She comes to find me again?

Patron, judging from past experience, you and 【Fate】 can't always watch me, 【Chaos】 is also you, which means I have one less Patron's gaze, 【Time】, even more so, has no time to watch..."

Thinking and thinking, Cheng Shi's face collapsed.

Good fellow, these four Patrons of mine seem to be about the same as having no Patrons.

Fused in vain.

Those eyes saw this and smiled lightly:

"Since you can't hide, why not change your thinking?

Since She can come to find you, why can't you go to find Her?"

"???" Cheng Shi was confused.

I go to find Her?

What kind of talk is this? Why would I go to find Her? To seek death?

That can't even be called seeking death, because dying at the other party's hands won't even leave a skull!

"Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative.

You haven't offended Her before, have you? A mortal's disrespect can make a confused god furious, which already shows that Her state of mind has problems, and the more problems there are, the more flaws there are..."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi widened his eyes, finally understanding the God of Fun's meaning.

She was plotting against 【Annihilation】!

Even wanting to use him as bait to fish for 【Annihilation】!

Now he could be certain that 【Annihilation】 wasn't 【Deception】, but it was limited to the past and the present. As for whether it would be in the future... that depended on what the God of Fun's plot was.

Having figured this out, Cheng Shi lowered his head and followed the trend: "What should I do, Patron?"

"Just continue your teasing like you 'teased' Her before. Perhaps you don't even need to do anything deliberately, and Her fanatical believers will come to find you under the guise of devotion.

After all, there is no ending more perfect than letting a player disappear from the trial without a sound, so the one you need to be careful about has never been Her, but the god-possessors related to Her.

Alright, I've said too much to you today, it's starting to get boring.

Let's stop here; I have other things to be busy with."

Saying this, those eyes were about to blow Cheng Shi away.

But Cheng Shi really had too many questions to ask. He hurriedly reached out to stop the Patron's "persuasion to retreat," and then asked with his neck stretched:

"One last question, Patron, one last question!"

"The Clown today is annoyingly noisy. Ask quickly."

Cheng Shi took it as not hearing this sarcasm and hurriedly opened his mouth:

"Patron, I want to ask about your relationship with 【Time】...

Originally I didn't dare to think so, but since 【Chaos】 can be you, then 【Time】... why can't it?"

Those eyes froze, and then looked at Cheng Shi with a half-smile.

"I see some people aren't doubting the relationship between me and 【Time】, but have other plans, right?"

"..." Cheng Shi scratched his head embarrassedly. "Since it can't be hidden, I'll confess. Patron, I was thinking, besides the identities of Ultraman and Whispering Tide, I had 'fabricated' an identity of Hour Hand before. You see..."

"Pfft—"

How could 【Deception】 not know what Her believer was like? Hearing this, She smiled meaningfully:

"So the Clown is coveting the identity of 【Existence】's subordinate god."

"Can't call it coveting..."

"Since you don't covet it, then forget it."

"Covet! Covet!! I covet!!!" Cheng Shi was anxious. He immediately straightened his back, his eyes shining. That greedy look was completely different from the caution just now.

How about it, is there a play!?

Did 【Time】 really let go?

Those eyes looked at Cheng Shi's posture and said sarcastically:

"Finally willing to tell the truth.

Very good, I underestimated you.

Hour Hand... 【Time】's messenger might be a bit difficult for you now, but it's easy to be a messenger of 【Filth】. Don't you think, Lord of Greed?"

After saying this, those eyes didn't give Cheng Shi a chance to argue, and threw him out of the void directly.

Seeing the Clown's figure disappear, She sneered repeatedly:

"Not knowing the blessing while in it, you've performed the role of Clown quite vividly.

It seems that the Clown in any world is the same. No wonder He sees you as the 'fixed' path.

I'm starting to doubt now, whether choosing you in the beginning was really 【Fate】's doing.

What do you say, 【Fate】?"

There was no response in the void. Those eyes laughed lightly and turned to escape into the giggling and sneering in the depths of nothingness.

Before leaving, She observed the entire universe through Her creation, the corners of Her eyes curled high, laughing happily.

"Since you're here, if I don't leave you a gift, wouldn't it be a lack of manners?"

Saying this, She issued an oracle to all 【Deception】 believers in the universe, an oracle exactly the same as the one bestowed by 【Fate】.

After doing all this, those eyes disappeared instantly.

The void and nothingness fell into silence again, and everything seemed to return to peace.

However, things were far from over. At some point after 【Deception】 left, two pairs of eyes suddenly opened beside the giggling and sneering.

One pair was inscribed with the vicissitudes of the universe's past and present, and one pair depicted the profoundness of time rushing by.

【Existence】!

This pair of sibling gods descended beside this "existence" creation in the depths of 【Nothingness】.

Those eyes of memory didn't move the memories here into the library, but asked the other one flatly: "Where does this absurd tide lead?"

Those eyes of time were silent for a moment, shook their heads and sighed: "I don't know."

【Memory】 smiled lightly.

"I see you aren't fusing with 【Fate】, but with 【Deception】. You've also learned to lie."

After saying this, She left, without delving into it, and without recalling it.

【Time】 looked at the direction where the giggling and sneering surged, sighed silently again, and left as well.

He still had things to be busy with and had no time to stay long. ===== CHAPTER 887 =====
