"Click".

The voice was so soft that Cheng Shi thought he was hallucinating.

The sound was so heavy that Cheng Shi, who realized what had happened in that instant, felt as if an invisible force was squeezing all the air out of his lungs, and he couldn't breathe!

He trembled as if speechless as he touched his mouth, but could no longer feel the response of the lips of foolishness on his lips.

"Mouth Bro!!"

Cheng Shi was terrified. He frantically called out in his heart, but that voice in his heart... never appeared again.

Are you leaving me too?

Cheng Shi, who had just been cursing loudly, suddenly lost his temper and slumped down on the leopard's back.

"Cheng Shi! What's wrong with you!?"

Hong Lin was extremely anxious. Qin Xin turned around in astonishment and saw that Cheng Shi, who was sitting on the big cat's back, seemed to have lost all his spirit in an instant and had become completely silent.

Upon seeing this, [Fate] murmured:

It is the first, but it will not be the last.

As I've said before, there will always be lives that don't deserve to live until the end of the "nihilistic" era. The longer you struggle, the fewer will survive. This is the final performance of the "nihilistic" era.

Whether you stained the curtain with blood or bid farewell to the stage with laughter and cheers, it all depends on your choice.

What is predetermined and cannot be changed, I believe you understand this better than they do right now.

"......"

This is truly a heart-wrenching statement!

Honglin's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. She pushed Cheng Shi away, regained her human form, grabbed Cheng Shi's arm, and shook her head desperately, saying:

“Cheng Shi, don’t listen to Him. Since ancient times, submission has been met with bloodshed, and only resistance offers a way to survive!”

As you said, everyone has their own choices. Don't make choices for us. Our choice is to struggle, to be unyielding, to resist, and to fall on the road to the light even if it means death!

All you have to do is lead us to break free from the shackles of fate, shatter the fetters of fate, and fight for a future without fate, no, without gods, instead of listening to the words of external gods, distorting yourselves, and enduring humiliation and entanglement!

We don't need you to save us; we are saving ourselves!

As she spoke, she placed Cheng Shi on the ground, turned around and glared angrily at him, activating her [Prosperity] power. Her hair flew like sprouting buds, and the wildly growing branches instantly wove a green crown of [Prosperity] on her head.

But that wasn't all. The green crown sprouted countless roots that penetrated the surrounding starry sky, drawing upon its power to make Honglin's body even stronger. Her arm transformed into a long spear, pointing it at the outer god, her rage uncontrollable:

"So what if the curtain is stained with blood? The brighter the stain, the better it will be used to cover your coffin!"

The word "coffin" had barely left his lips when a real coffin suddenly squeezed out from the gap in the void pierced by the green branches of "prosperity"!

The coffin lid slid down a third, and a slender hand emerged from it. Without a word, it grabbed the disoriented Cheng Shi and pulled him inside.

The cover flips over, and the figures exchange places.

The figure inside the coffin appeared before the gods, but the coffin containing the person was instantly pushed back into the void.

After completing all this, the newcomer clapped his hands, ignoring the cold gaze of the Outer God [Fate], squinted at the massive skull on the pedestal, and said in a slightly deep voice:

"My lord, my piety ends here."
