I have two principles as a human being:
1. Never lie.
2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.
“Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the ...
The world is about to end.
This is Cheng Shi’s most intuitive feeling at the moment.
He had never seen such a strong power of [Annihilation]. Even though it was suppressed by the [Convention] and stopped by [Justice (Order)], the power of [Annihilation] like a huge wave still swept across this brilliant starry sky.
To put it more frighteningly, a drop of water splashed from this huge wave can annihilate the world countless times, not to mention such a terrifying [annihilation] frenzy.
Fortunately, the two masters of [Nothingness] were not idlers. When [Annihilation] was furious, [Destiny] saved his believers with a blink of an eye, while [Fraud] was one step too late and could only save Herobros beside Cheng Shi with a look of disgust.
The discussion has not yet begun, and as a key figure, He cannot die yet.
But even with the protection of [Destiny], Cheng Shi still took two steps back in fear and hid behind Herobros.
There is a difference between humans and gods after all, and it is now clear.
Cheng Shi's face was full of tension, while Herobus stood there motionless, like a "stabilizing force" that resisted the tide of his benefactor's anger.
Just when Cheng Shi was feeling a little respect for him, [Fraud] said in a playful tone:
"If your legs are weak and you can't stand up straight, you can sit down. You don't have to force yourself."
Herobus' body swayed and he staggered half a step, but in the end he managed to hold on and not sit down.
“…”
Seeing this, Cheng Shi rolled his eyes and thought to himself, we two brothers are pretty much the same...
Annihilation burned with rage. Its eyes, constantly collapsing and crumbling, gloomily gazed at its messenger. It looked at Herobus, who had followed and been loyal to it for so long, unwilling to accept its betrayal. It asked word by word:
"But [Nothingness] controls you?"
Herobus froze, and when he looked up, he met the pair of laughing star-like eyes beside him. Although [Deception] didn't speak, but only blinked, he clearly heard the other party say silently:
Only when you are in a desperate situation can you burn your boats.
“…”
Herobus's expression changed, and then his eyes became firm again, and his face gradually became cold.
He slowly raised his head, adjusted his gaze, and met his benefactor's gaze. He shook his head and said:
“No.”
"How dare you lie to me!"
Just these two words made the breath of [Annihilation] in the entire starry sky condense into substance. The outer stars collapsed and the flowing starlight all returned to the abyss. [Annihilation] could not believe it. He repeated his question again, and this time each syllable was heavier and more gnashing than the last time.
"But [Nothingness] controls you?"
A trace of pity flashed across Herobus's eyes, but then he shook his head even more indifferently.
“I said, never.
This is what I asked for, begging for your throne, Lord!"
Seeing this, [Annihilation] laughed in anger.
"good!
It seems you want to embrace the will of the true God with your divine body."
As he spoke, the power of Annihilation from the entire starry sky, guided by Annihilation, poured back towards the Seat of Nothingness. Fate's eyes turned cold, and he wanted to attack, but Fraud stopped him, looking at Annihilation and saying cheerfully:
“I advise you not to do it.
Not to mention whether you can fight one against two, don't forget that this is an old-fashioned place. You don't want to go against the rules and give up your vote at the Covenant of the Gods meeting, do you?
Regardless of winning or losing, once the Covenant of the Gods begins, there must be a result.
If you insist on giving up your vote, I certainly won't object.
Some [Nothingness] are full of energy and can't wait to fight people every day. It's just right that I can use you to kill off their energy, which is a win-win situation for both parties."
“…”
A sarcastic remark brought calm back to the turbulent meeting room.
It was as if the tangible breath of [Annihilation] stopped an inch above Herobus's head, resonating with the purest power of [Annihilation] in his body, as if telling a silent joke to everyone present.
The true God is still there, how can an envoy usurp Him?
There were more than one who had doubts, especially the [Iron Law of Order] who valued order the most. He flipped through the pages of the code rapidly, as if reviewing the rules of the [Covenant]. However, after looking through them, he could not find a single clause that would allow Herobus to replace him. So, he looked at [Justice (Order)] in confusion and said:
"[Annihilation] still exists, and there is freedom. Why was this issue passed?"
Before [Justice (Order)] could respond, the giant skull in the venue spoke first.
Death's expression was very strange, the green flames in his eye sockets swayed wildly, and he snorted coldly, saying in an inexplicable tone:
"What is not prohibited by law is permitted. Does the [Convention] ever state that while the true God is still alive, the envoys cannot inherit his throne and authority?"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Not only because of the content, but also because of the identity of this person!
You have to know that everyone present here cannot compare to the three of [Life] in terms of tradition, especially [Death]. He never smiles or laughs, and he will never deliberately make any mistakes.
So how could He say such a thing?
No matter how you look at it, this whole thing seems to be instigated by a certain [Nothingness], and coincidentally, the focus of this issue is [Death]'s rival, [Annihilation]...
At this moment, all the gods understood that [Fraud] was playing to their will and using [Death]'s hand to slap [Annihilation] hard in the face.
Annihilation grew even more furious, its eyes, which had been constantly crumbling, almost shrunken completely. He gloomily turned his gaze towards his old enemy, then turned back to reassess his messenger, unwilling to accept the offer.
"Tell me you haven't betrayed me and joined the Death Camp!"
Herobos exhaled lightly, and said with a complicated expression:
"Of course I didn't betray you, because I will inherit your throne and authority."
“…”
“Okay, okay!”
[Annihilation] calmed down completely. He looked at the gods present with cold eyes and returned to his seat without saying a word.
The somewhat lonely and sad figure amidst the boundless anger inspired the gods.
Of course, all the gods knew that this was a counterattack from [Annihilation], but the problem was that what [Annihilation] expressed silently was also what they feared.
If the true God still exists, who dares to usurp Him?
Once this kind of thing starts, who would dare to promote an envoy?
This shows the foresight of the choices made by the gods in the later stages of fate.
[Civilization] learned the lessons of [Life] and [Degradation] when it was born. In addition to [Order] promoting many messengers to maintain the order of the universe, starting from [Truth], divine creations have become the mainstream of spreading the will of the true God.
Those gods who have no worries about being backstabbed naturally have nothing to worry about, but there are still some people who cannot stand it.
[Foolish] had been silent since he sat down, watching the show with a sneer. Seeing that [Annihilation] was at a loss and [Nothingness] was sure of victory, he sneered and said:
"I think it's a shame to call this era 'Nothingness'. It's better to call it 'Foolishness'. The whole era is Foolishness."
