Foolish Game of the Gods

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 ...

Chapter 556 A Long Talk with [Fraud] (Part 3)

(Thank you for your support. Six of the ten will be added before the end of the month!)

"My benefactor..."

When Cheng Shi read out these four words again, he felt mixed emotions.

[Fraud] lost some of the "God" filter in his heart, but it also made him more respectful.

He didn't know where this strange and awkward feeling of respect came from, but this feeling was very similar to the feeling that Lao Jia gave him.

It's like using lie after lie to build a shield for yourself to resist all external attacks.

Of course, whether this shield is used to block damage for oneself or for the God of Fun himself still needs careful study.

Cheng Shi looked at those eyes with complicated eyes, slowly raised his left hand, showed the nail of his left little finger to God, and then said seriously:

"I don't know if this is also your plan, but in the trial just now, I got..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the God of Fun.

"Oh, the beggar is quite generous, but if you really think he is merciful and compassionate, then you are really foolish."

???

Regardless of what I think [rotten], the name "stinking beggar" in your mouth... are you serious?

No, it turns out that Zhen Yi learned to give people nicknames from you, right?

"......"

But what does He mean, that [Corruption] is not merciful?

Cheng Shi frowned and fell into deep thought.

Indeed, His mercy did not seem like real mercy. It was obvious that He had a purpose. Looking back now, [Decay]'s behavior was more like begging for [Origin]'s mercy and applying it to himself, satisfying his unfulfilled desire with appropriate charity.

In other words, he is playing the role of a giver, comforting his own "pity" by granting himself the mercy he does not receive.

But the God of Fun seemed to mean more than that, so Cheng Shi blinked in confusion, waiting for Him to explain it to him.

Those eyes were full of talkativeness today. He sneered and said:

"I know what you guessed, and you guessed right. The beggars really wanted to see Him. It should be said that before civilization, the worship of Life and Depravity for Him was very primitive and crazy.

Just as the humans of that era were fanatical and devout in their belief in God, they were also fanatical about *Him.

But even if He was inspired by the self-destruction of the Mother of Prosperity and found a new path to Himself, there is no need for you to exercise this "fading" authority.

You are just a player. Under the constraints of the [Covenant], even if you think that this game can continue indefinitely, throughout your life, the most you will encounter is a few more of His believers.

This level of fading is useless to a God, but He gave you the power anyway, do you know why?"

Cheng Shi understood immediately. He nodded solemnly, "Because I am a walker of Nothingness."

"laugh--

A darling is a darling, what about a traveler?

Ordinary travelers don’t have so many gods watching over them.”

"......"

"【Memory】 is right. They can't guess what I'm going to do, so they're investing a chip in you and waiting for the follow-up.

You don't need to imagine that I will tell you anything, hehe~

Because I don’t even know what I’m doing.”

"......"

Cheng Shi really wanted to complain. He always felt like a clown, a clown who was awkwardly twisting his uncoordinated body on the stage to make people laugh. The only difference from other clowns was that this stage was built by the God of Fun himself, and the audience below the stage were "Them" who were sitting on the throne high above!

The gods didn't understand what was going on in this play, but that didn't stop them from throwing two coins onto the stage to encourage the clown when he performed well.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's face fell.

Oh no, now I’ve really become a clown, a clown of the gods!

[Fraud] seemed to see what Cheng Shi was thinking of. He laughed and expressed his approval of Cheng Shi's idea.

"It seems that this beggar got a lot of money in the past. His reward is much more generous than that of Old Bones."

"......"

No, my lord, what do you mean?

Is that gentleman...also one of the speculators in the audience?

Not really. Death seems like a really good boss, right?

“Old Bones is a nice guy, but a little boring.

However, it doesn't mean that good people are heartless. He is trying to understand the new right of [depravity] that you "present" to him, and wants to use it to grab something from the sea of ​​desire that has divided [order]!

Tsk, you sound nice, but you're just trying to gain some benefits.

Otherwise, how do you think that broken bone ring in your hand glued together a bunch of tattered divinity?

It's fear!

It was the new power of fear that gave Old Bones new ideas, using fear as a constraint to bind those divinities that could never be integrated together.

But it can only be done this way, the different divine natures are alienated from each other, and this cannot be changed."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi was stunned, and then his eyes lit up.

"So that's why the gods want to merge their divinity, right?

It is because...the divinity bestowed by that existence is incompatible with each other, so the gods want to use the reverse method of fusing divinity to get closer to...that existence, right, benefactor!"

The pair of eyes raised an eyebrow unexpectedly, and sneered softly:

"You've gotten smarter. It seems you're not afraid anymore."

"......"

Stop making fun of me, stop making fun of me, isn’t it okay for me to be a clown?

Cheng Shi was confused. He finally figured out what those Tower of Matter experiments he had experienced before were about. It turned out that those great scholars, under the protection of the Truth, had been constantly trying various methods to integrate divinity, graft faith, and create artificial gods for Him.

They only thought that these things could make them ascend to become gods, but they didn't know that, behind this, [Truth] was integrating with their methods and approaching [Him] in almost the same way!

It turns out that this is the purpose of the gods!

All the causes and effects they have created in the universe are for *Him]!

In this way, the gods who are close to the God of Fun are the "Fear Faction" in the [Covenant], and the gods represented by the gods of [Truth] and [Corruption] are the "Approach Faction" in the [Covenant], but there are also differences among these Approach Factions, some are fanatical in worship, and some are rational in approach.

If we take a rough inventory, the members of the "Fear Faction" are probably...

Only one.

Because no one likes the God of Fun, even his fellow God of Nothingness, Fate, disagrees with Him.

How miserable, it turns out I'm not the only clown, there's a bigger clown.

As for who...

Cheng Shi touched his nose, his eyes wandering, and dared not say a word.
