Chapter 980: [War] May Never Cease

【War】 May Never Cease

"You... do you know what the Fun... what my benefactor is trying to do?"

Cheng Shi was a smart man. After a few rounds of conversation, he saw that 【War】 was not an enemy. As for whether He was an ally, he would have to listen to a few more rounds to be sure. So he pondered for a moment and asked this question with courage.

Although the pair of blood and fire eyes looked irritable, their emotions were always stable.

"No one knows what 【Deception】 is doing... including 【Fate】."

"I only know, the word 'rebellious' is not enough to describe even one percent of it... His goal was never us... His plan is also confusing..."

"But there is no doubt... you are a key link in His plan... Just for this point alone, I should have erased you!"

"!!!"

Cheng Shi was shocked and instinctively wanted to retreat, but now he realized that he had been imprisoned at some point, completely losing the space to maneuver.

Even if mortals had no power to resist in front of gods, the sudden "imprisonment" still made Cheng Shi's heart sink, terrified.

He felt that if this continued, facing 【War】's scrutiny, he would be "full of flaws." So after quickly weighing the current situation, in order to deal with 【War】's questioning or guidance calmly, he gritted his teeth and quietly took out the 【Filth-Corrupted】 vessel, holding it in his sleeve.

For a time, fear receded like a tide, and his mind returned to sharpness.

【War】 noticed Cheng Shi's small movements, but He didn't point it out, instead continuing:

"But you are lucky enough... because you are also a link in 【Fate】's plan..."

"【Fate】 is even harder to fathom than His rebellious brother god... I cannot guess whether all this is 【Deception】's trick or 【Fate】 doing it on purpose..."

"I only know that if you want 【Fate】 to win, you are indispensable..."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi's eyes widened, and he said firmly: "You are indeed on the same side as 【Fate】!"

"On the same side as 【Fate】?"

"No, you are wrong... I am not on anyone's side."

"?"

Cheng Shi was confused, but in an instant, a shock that broke through the 【Filth-Corrupted】 vessel exploded in his brain, making him unable to help but ask:

"Not even on the same side as 【*He】?"

Hearing this question, the pair of blood and fire eyes suddenly fell silent. He made no response.

But sometimes, no response is the greatest response!

【War】 is not on the same side as 【Origin】; He is not a close-proximity faction!

But He is also not a Fear Sect member, because the Fear Sect can never speak toward 【Fate】, so what is His position?

Linking to the other's extreme forbearance and connecting to the attitude of expecting 【Fate】 to succeed, a bizarre thought suddenly appeared in Cheng Shi's mind.

There is no doubt that the details of 【Fate】's plan might be unknown, but the original intention of this benefactor is absolutely to approach 【Origin】 or even summon 【Origin】.

Since 【War】 tacitly approved 【Fate】's script but is not a close-proximity faction, what is He doing to see 【Origin】?

Cheng Shi racked his brains and could only think of one answer:

War.

This god of forbearance, who usually honestly doesn't violate the 【Convention】, might be waiting for an opportunity. Wait for 【Origin】 to descend or wake up, and then launch a war against this undisputed supreme ruler in the universe!!!

Ha.

Cheng Shi suddenly laughed out loud.

He pointed at the pair of eyes, wanting to say "You are crazy"... but reason stopped Cheng Shi's actions, making the skin of his face, which shouldn't have had any shocked expression, twitch rapidly.

He must be crazy!

How can there be such a reckless man?

You want to charge at 【Origin】!?

Is this the reason you silently killed 【Order】!?

Was 【Order】 on the side of the Sea of Desire beaten and split by you, just because He once represented the strongest in the universe, so you smashed Him into pieces?!

Cheng Shi's brain was boiling. After being drained of fear, he carefully took stock of everything wrong with 【War】, and then used a look to send a soul-level questioning to the pair of eyes:

Lord 【War】, the fear you picked up from the Sea of Desire, could it be the fear that there will be no more wars to fight in the future!?

So you changed your target to that 【Origin】 who gave you your godhood and authority!!?

【War】 understood Cheng Shi's look, but He still didn't respond.

The silence continued.

But Cheng Shi already had the answer in his heart.

What a Fear Sect!

I never thought that this small Fear Sect would also have disagreements.

We are afraid that 【Origin】's descent will bring endless nothingness, and you are afraid that 【Origin】 won't descend and you will have no more fights to fight!

Is this right?

Is this reasonable?

Do you have any idea?

Not to mention whether 【Filth-Corrupted】 has affected you, even if you beat 【Order】 at that time, what gave you the courage to think you could defeat 【Origin】?

Did you also pick up arrogance while picking up fear in the Sea of Desire?

Do you know what 【Origin】 actually represents?

Do you know that the starry sky you are in is just one of thousands of experimental vessels?

If you don't know, you aren't even sure if you can beat another version of yourself, let alone launch a war against that 【Origin】 who is high above and controls the entire universe!

Good, good, so all His forbearance was to recuperate, and all His orderliness was to wait for 【Origin】's descent!

No wonder Qin Xin could become a war god-chosen while enduring so much. This is truly the episode where the god-chosen is most like his benefactor!!

For a time, Cheng Shi himself was stunned. He suddenly thought that perhaps he could make a deal with 【War】. This was something Cheng Shi shouldn't have said to a god no matter what before, but now...

His situation, plus the intelligence in his hands and the vanished fear, made him feel that he seemed to be able to sit at the table?

So he frowned, straightened his body, and asked straight to the point:

"Great god of 【War】, I want to make a deal with You."

"?"

For millions of years since the creation of the universe, through how many eras, no mortal has ever dared to talk business in front of 【War】. If business were so easy to talk, what would war be for?

He was the synonym for plunder and seizure, so how could He be interested in trading.

But Cheng Shi happened to know that his "lucky" self was the key to completing the other's wish. Even if the deal didn't go through, 【War】 wouldn't be able to do anything to him, so he smiled and continued:

"I can't guess what You are trying to do, but I heard it. You are trying to protect me. Although the threat of this protection also comes from You, I am still very grateful."

"So in order to get more protection, and also to let the plan You advocate continue, I want to exchange a piece of news with You for 'eternal protection'."

"What do You think?"

"You... a mortal... attempting to bring me news that a god doesn't know?"

"Yes." Cheng Shi nodded with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

【War】 fell silent again. He sized up Cheng Shi for a long time, then suddenly laughed loudly: "Courage is commendable, speak."

"Then have You agreed to provide me with eternal protection?"

"Hmph... not all plans can go according to plan... timely remedies might not be able to finish the plan..."

"The world is never short of clowns."

"..."

Broken, the step was too big and had the opposite effect.

Cheng Shi frowned and pondered for a moment. To show sincerity, he said his news first.

"Have You... considered fighting yourself?"

"?" The pair of eyes snorted coldly, "Parallel universes are just 【Time】's tricks... If this is what you are talking about... then 【Nothingness】's plan might really need to change people..."

"No, no, no, I'm not talking about parallel universes, but sliced universes."

"Don't You know that outside this starry sky there are countless universes exactly like ours?"

"And this also means there will be countless 【War】s like You there..."

Those eyes narrowed, instantly pulling Cheng Shi before them. Feeling the scorching flames and bloody malice at such close range, Cheng Shi's smile froze on his face.

"Is this the reason for His fear?"

"I don't know, but I feel this will be the way to dispel Your fear, because war may never cease..." ===== CHAPTER 981 =====
