Cheng Shi was terrified, but to play it safe, he gritted his teeth and refused to give in.

Even though he knew that the boss of [Death] was the most trustworthy member of the Fear faction, since [Fraud] hadn't chosen to tell the other party, he couldn't let himself be exposed.

Sensing Cheng Shi's persistence, [Death] understood the Joker's thoughts.

He withdrew the false fire, which could not harm any living beings, and his tone became disdainful again.

"You, and your benefactor, smell more and more alike."

Similar, repulsive.

"Thank you for your compliment." Cheng Shi was not ashamed, but rather proud.

"......"

The bone base beneath the enormous skull creaked and groaned, as if countless smaller skulls were gritting their teeth. Faced with the Void, He had never been able to do anything. Now that the Void was gone, He was equally helpless in the face of the Void's established order, unable to attack or curse it.

This "powerless rage" lasted for a moment, eventually turning into a sigh.

"Has He... gotten into... some kind of trouble?"

"!"

The character “染” is very interesting!

Cheng Shi, who was secretly pleased with himself, immediately became serious. He looked at his boss and said solemnly, "Sir, I would like to ask you about this matter."

You've already guessed that your benefactor went to such great lengths to escape some predicament, but do you know where this predicament comes from?

As Cheng Shi spoke, his eyes kept glancing up at the sky. [Death] naturally understood his meaning and nodded slightly after a long silence.

"I, I think, have guessed some of it."

A glint flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes, and he stopped beating around the bush and said, "It's [Defilement], isn't it?"

"......"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the Fishbone Hall became heavy. An invisible force of death instantly transformed into a high wall, enveloping the entire hall. Then, the ghastly green bone fire directly ignited the void, blocking all external investigations.

Only with such caution did the enormous skull respond:

"I, too, think this way."

Since [deception], delving into the sea of ​​desire, He no longer contacts me as often as before.

His plans were no longer revealed, and even the silence itself was unaware of the truth.

Perhaps only time will know the truth, but even time refuses to respond.

At that time, I knew that there was probably a problem with the fraud.

The crux of the problem lies in the sea of ​​desire!

"!"

Cheng Shi was not surprised. Although this was the first time he knew for certain that [Deception] had entered the Sea of ​​Desire, the clowns had already guessed about it before.

"My lord, when did [deception] disappear into the sea of ​​desire?"

The giant skull recalled:

"It concerns [Annihilation], the covenant of the gods of the throne, after which He took away [the sin of desirelessness], and together with the other, entered the sea of ​​desire."

I was worried about his safety, so I stayed by his side, watching with my own eyes as he silently returned.

"!!!"

It matches up!

When the poison encountered Delacroix, it was indeed during the time when [Deception] entered the Sea of ​​Desire. Before, it was all speculation, but now it has finally been confirmed.

As the clown guessed, the "defilement" in the sea of ​​desire must have "polluted" the "deception" by some means. This pollution must not be the pull of desire, because whether the one hidden in the sea of ​​desire is "defiled" is still debatable.

Cheng Shi had many doubts in his mind. He didn't know whether he should ask or not, but he felt really uncomfortable if he didn't ask after talking to this point. So, taking advantage of the fact that he personally blocked everything with [Death], he dared to ask a few questions.

"My lord, is 'defilement' truly 'defilement'?"

"?"

Upon first hearing this, Death clearly didn't quite grasp the meaning, but it quickly realized what Cheng was saying. Its entire skull trembled violently, and it hummed in an extremely solemn tone:

“I understand what you mean.”

Regarding this, I have had my share of fantasies.

However, since ancient times, the gods have kept their distance from defilement, and no one knows what secrets are hidden in the sea of ​​desire.

All the deities who entered the sea of ​​desire encountered problems.

[Order], directly, split, within, the sea of ​​desire;

[War], changed his temperament, began to be patient and silent;

[Fraud], no longer communicating or planning with anyone...

Therefore, it's not impossible that what you're thinking could cause a deity to change their normal state of pollution.

Upon receiving confirmation, Cheng Shi's expression tightened, and he asked again:

"Then do you think that the one in the Sea of ​​Desire might be... [The Primordial One]?"

"!!??"

"boom--"

Green flames burst forth, engulfing everything, and Cheng Shi's vision turned directly into a blinding white.

The enormous skull took a long time to reappear from the endless flames, then scooped up the scorched Cheng Shi and said in a deep voice:

Absolutely not!

If it is truly Him, then the fate of the gods will not be distortion, but rather, fall and death!

You've seen His power; it's not a joke, it's deadly poison.

Cheng Shi had certainly seen it, but he shook his head and said:

"My lord, you have misunderstood me."

I'm not saying that the complete [Primordial] is hidden in the Sea of ​​Desire, but is it possible that... an 'injured' or 'in poor condition' [Primordial] is hidden there?

Is the throne that He pieced together from Nothingness the key to His regaining His power?
