Chapter 887: A Brief Rest, A Rare Peace

A Brief Rest, A Rare Peace

Back, finally back.

Lying on the floor of the rooftop, looking up at the cloudless sky, letting the scorching sun paint his skin, until he felt a temperature close to burning, did he drive away the slight chill in his heart.

Trouble is here.

Cheng Shi was never a person afraid of trouble, but the premise was that this trouble didn't come from Him who exceeded his own limits of resolution.

Just like when he was targeted by 【Fate】 in the first half of the year, when you know that a malicious god is watching you in the dark, you can't face the trial calmly. Besides tightening your heartstrings, tightening your nerves, and responding to everything carefully, there is no other way.

This feeling was a bit long-lost. Since fusing the entire 【Nothingness】, he hadn't felt such great pressure for a long time.

From the "covetousness" of a god...

To relieve the depression in his heart, Cheng Shi even comforted himself like this: change the angle and think, if he were a member of the Descent Sect or the Shenming Society, wouldn't this be the most high-light moment of his life?

But fantasy ultimately couldn't alleviate the anxiety in people's hearts, so after lying flat for a while, Cheng Shi sat up with a solemn face and began to think about how to deal with this 【Annihilation】 crisis that was "inexplicable" to him.

First of all, his strength must have made great progress compared to when he was targeted by 【Fate】 before. With four faiths on his body, countless props, and the destined person and clown, it could be said that he had mastered the extremely considerable divine resources and most of the intelligence resources in this game.

This was enough for the Clown to deal with various crises, but precisely, this crisis came from... above, from the source of power of some players.

The difference in status made these preparations lose their meaning.

But it wasn't meaningless, at least... there was the container.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi took out the container he had just obtained. Ever since the God of Fun dyed this container, as long as Cheng Shi used different faith powers, he could activate the state of this container, letting it switch faith with him, either 【Deception】 or 【Chaos】.

But it was also limited to 【Deception】 and 【Chaos】; 【Fate】 and 【Time】 still couldn't.

So Cheng Shi felt that if he wanted to change the "color" of the container, perhaps "having a 【Him】 dye the container first" was a necessary step. Mortal faith could only be used for switching, but not for activation.

However, judging from the current state of faith, switching to 【Fate】 and 【Time】 didn't make much sense.

Don't forget, the container was used for dripping divinity, and the material for dripping divinity was faith, faith in the holder of the container.

Taking the current state of the container as a reference, when switching to the 【Chaos】 container, the dripping speed of divinity was far faster than switching to the 【Deception】 container, which made Cheng Shi have to think about what caused this difference.

Thinking and thinking, there was only one answer:

The prestige of the 【Chaos】 messenger Ultraman was far more widely spread than the 【Deception】 messenger Whispering Tide. After all, Ultraman was an existence written into history, and to some extent guided the underground 【Chaos】 forces to counterattack the surface;

While Whispering Tide was just a simple recognition among a few players.

Based on this, combined with previous exchanges with Hu Xuan, Wei Mu, Afros, and others, Cheng Shi reached an extremely simple conclusion, which was:

The more people who believe, the faster the divinity will drip. It wasn't just that it was purer, but faster.

So the container in his hand started dripping divinity the first time he got it, fundamentally, because he walked on the right path from the beginning.

Unlike Hu Xuan, the Eternal Sun was ultimately a sun hung in the sky by an experiment. Excluding the residents of the distant Twilight Town in the experiment, no one believed in her anymore.

But Cheng Shi was different. The identity of Ultraman gave him great convenience. It seemed that he would soon get his first 【Chaos】 divinity fragment.

Of course, this right path wasn't walked out by himself, but paved by the God of Fun.

Cheng Shi often thought that with the gods' foresight to understand the future and the past, and laying out early, this was inherently a 'fixed' path for mortals who knew nothing.

So, not only was 【Fate】 waiting for the 'fixed' path, 【Deception】 had even paved the 'fixed' path early on.

But having divinity didn't mean Cheng Shi had the strength to fight 【Annihilation】. Up to now, he was still like a rich man sitting on a gold mountain without knowing how to use it, unable to effectively convert divinity into combat power.

Reasonably speaking, messenger = a complete divinity + acting authority.

And Cheng Shi now, equals a mixed divinity, plus a complete divinity with a promising future, plus two acting authorities. In terms of quantity, he equals two messengers, but in essence... he was no different from ordinary players.

Except for having a few bluffing identities, he was still a mortal.

This made Cheng Shi look very anxious. When he was scheming with players before, these bluffing gimmicks were all means he could use with ease, but once the enemy became 【Him】, these things became the Clown's funny props, useless except for amusement.

So in order to make the most effective use of the resources in his hands, Cheng Shi humbly asked someone, no, a mouth.

He took out the Lying Tongue and Secret-Peeking Ear, placed them on the ground, and then put down a bottle of tentacle mucus drink to represent the Whispering Tide, and just like that, on the rooftop under the scorching sun, held a small meeting about "Whispering Tide" and "Divinity."

Seeing that the tongue and ear were both uninterested, Cheng Shi had to ask Brother Mouth first.

"Brother Mouth, since you were a messenger before, why don't you share with me how this messenger's divinity should be used?"

The Whispering Tide heard Cheng Shi's probing, but it remained silent and made no comment.

Cheng Shi had no choice. Helplessly, he "gulped" down a bottle of mucus drink, took out another bottle and placed it in the original position, and then asked again.

"·......"

This scene made the newly arrived ear call it fresh.

"Do you usually communicate like this?" the Secret-Peeking Ear asked curiously.

"This has nothing to do with communication; I'm mainly thirsty."

As soon as Cheng Shi finished speaking, the ear before him snorted lightly and began to "repeat" the true thoughts behind this lie:

"I don't know if it's useful, but disgusting Brother Mouth is always enough to relieve anger."

"..."

Cheng Shi was stunned. He looked at the ear in disbelief and asked in surprise: "You and Brother Mouth aren't... combined?"

The Secret-Peeking Ear turned left and right gracefully and shook its head: "Not really, it's just that in normal times it doesn't let me speak, but now, here I have my place, so I naturally changed back to myself."

Cheng Shi was energized. He stared at the ear with burning eyes and asked tentatively: "So Brother Mouth is your big brother, right? This might have nothing to do with the parts, but the Him you once composed was called Whispering Tide, and only it retained His name?"

Cheng Shi's suspicion wasn't impossible, but this time it wasn't the ear that answered Cheng Shi, but his mouth.

The Whispering Tide opened its mouth: "·Yes, I won't hide it from you..."

But before it could finish, the ear on the ground twisted its body and "refuted":

"If I had known the name Whispering Tide would cause so much trouble, I would have changed my name to Hee-Hee Tide. There wouldn't be any fool calling himself Hee-Hee, right?"

As soon as this was said, the whole place was silent.

Cheng Shi's eyelids twitched wildly. He looked at the ear, then at the mucus drink, his expression extremely wonderful.

Damn it, there really isn't a person called Whispering Tide? ===== CHAPTER 888 =====
