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 ...
[Time] Giving the future assassin the ability to deduce is a magical experience for players.
Just like what Big Cat had told Cheng Shi before about the feeling she had when she was settling the [Prosperity] Trial, when the deduction began, the person using the deduction would quickly go through all the possibilities that might happen in the near future. Of course, without the blessing of additional talents, the speed, length, breadth of the deduction, as well as the scope and completeness of the overwrite and the impact on others could only be described as unsatisfactory.
But for a believer in a predetermined destiny, having something is better than having nothing.
At least with the help of [Time] deduction, Cheng Shi no longer needs to use other means to ensure his "established" path, but deduction is limited after all, and the amount of mental power is the main reason that limits the number of deductions.
Therefore, even with the help of Thorn Cry, Cheng Shi could not use the power of deduction anytime and anywhere. He could only start deduction to avoid disaster when he felt extreme danger. But deduction was not like going back in time after all. He would not walk the path he had walked again with his memories. Instead, he could only choose the one that was most beneficial to him from the countless forks he had already walked.
Fortunately, both the Doctor and himself, who has turned into an assassin, are agile enough, so there are still many options for a "safe future" in the deduction.
So just like that, Cheng Shi and the doctor worked together and quickly left the underground experimental site and came to another place with fewer tentacles.
It had not been long since the Grand Marshal shattered the external womb of the strange mother tree. This evil creature, which was made up of countless newborns, had completely fallen into rage. It spared no effort in hunting down all the life in the experimental field, and even did not let go of the revived "wombs" in the jars.
As long as it does not belong to it and is out of its control, all living things it can sense at the moment will be its enemies.
Countless tentacles like hanging ribbons sprinkled down from the cloud-like treetops, entwining and rubbing against each other, playing strange songs of "birth" with a heart-wrenching hoarseness.
In this strange tune of hoarse sound, the ubiquitous tentacles began to whip and lash everything around them indiscriminately. In just a few breaths, the entire experimental field was completely transformed into "purgatory"!
At this moment, the horror of the weird mother tree was vividly displayed before everyone's eyes.
Countless players fled in all directions, each caring about their own safety, but some tried their best and were unable to escape the intensive attacks, and could only turn into meat paste to nourish the swarm of tentacles that were like a swarm of locusts.
Under this kind of attack, even Cheng Shi, who had the power of deduction, felt a little tricky. But now they have not yet arrived at the control center. In desperation, he can only choose to expose some of his means and hide in the shadow plane with the doctor.
But how to explain that a priest like me can use the skills of an assassin... is another troublesome matter.
Just as Cheng Shi was racking his brains and trying to make up an excuse, Wang took the first move.
The believer of "Truth" pulled Cheng Shi to a halt, and faced with the tentacles coming like a rainstorm in front of him, his face became serious. He stretched out his hand and a familiar divine power surged out and turned into a big hand that wiped the two people directly from reality.
The tentacles that were rushing towards them suddenly lost their target and stopped halfway. After twitching a few times in confusion, they roared towards another place where there was life.
At the moment when the two escaped from danger, Cheng Shi grabbed Wang's shoulder with a look of surprise and said in disbelief:
"The power of [Deception]!?"
Yes, Wang was using the power of [Fraud]. He didn't know that Cheng Shi was actually an assassin. Although he could lead Cheng Shi to shuttle through the shadows, he didn't have the corresponding talent to lead someone to hide in the shadows, so he had to reveal his second faith at this critical moment to protect himself and the Weaver of Destiny.
As it turned out, the new talent was indeed useful, but it really scared Cheng Shi.
"You combined [Fraud]!?"
"Well, I combined [Fraud]." The doctor did not hide it. Although he had the ability to deceive people and could get away with the current situation, he did not do so. Instead, he chose to tell the truth.
In other words, he rarely lies except when necessary.
But this response still made Cheng Shi a little confused. In the last trial, the opponent was clearly a single-faith player, but now the doctor suddenly merged the faiths, and coincidentally, it was the faith given by the God of Fun.
No, my Lord, you don't think that this believer of Truth successfully deceived the clown in the last trial, so you gave him a second belief?
Is this correct?
Is this reasonable!?
So people who can embarrass the clown can get rewards, right?!
Cheng Shi's face looked extremely ugly, but he soon realized that this matter was not simple.
He remembered very clearly that in the council of gods in which he and Big Cat participated, the God of Fun and the God of Truth were at loggerheads with each other. How could two gods with completely opposite goals and motives choose to merge?
Yes, at the moment when [Destiny] and [Time] are merging, this kind of fusion that is not in opposition to each other is not impossible, but the question is, would the God of Fun agree to merge with [Truth] just for fun?
Cheng Shi was not surprised that [Truth] did not reject this matter. After all, it was He who promoted the integration of faiths. In the eyes of the second god of [Civilization], perhaps the integration of all faiths was what he expected.
But what about the God of Fun?
Would He be so kind as to lend a helping hand?
Definitely not!
If someone says that the God of Fun does everything just for fun, then Cheng Shi can only say that people who have this idea are the real fun.
