The negotiations went smoothly, and soon Herobros sent Cheng Shi back to the trial.
Note that it means sending, not throwing.
This was the first time that Cheng Shi left the void so dignifiedly. Herobus even personally tore the connection between the void and reality for him and watched him return safely.
However, Cheng Shi also knew that even if Herobros acted cooperative, the other party would definitely doubt the authenticity of this matter. After all, "usurping the throne" was the craziest plan under this starry sky. The empty talk of a mortal who had not yet become an envoy could not reassure Herobros.
So Cheng Shi guessed that he would definitely go to someone to verify it, and the best candidate would naturally be his benefactor, [Fraud]!
Therefore, the first thing Cheng Shi wanted to do when he returned to the trial was to inform the God of Fun and tell Him "Don't mess it up."
Although with the tacit understanding between this man and god, [Fraud] should be happy to see such a big fun, the stability engraved in Cheng Shi's bones made him dare not wait passively. Opportunities are never waited for. The so-called riding the wind and waves means riding the wind when there is wind, and creating your own when there is no wind.
He took out the dice and chanted the prayer of [Fraud], eagerly expressing his "piety", but after chanting for a long time, the benefactor still did not respond. This unusual behavior made Cheng Shi's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.
Where is the God of Fun?
I can't possibly fight with anyone again, right?
Yes, [Fraud] did fight with [Fate], but the fight is over now.
Neither side could do anything to the other, and the passionate internal fight ended abruptly. After despising each other, they parted ways.
Shortly after the two Lords of Nothingness separated, Herobus, who came to verify, intercepted Fraud and appeared before Him with a strange look on his face.
Looking at those eyes that were constantly turning around and teasing, Herobus didn't dare to breathe, but just stood there with his head bowed in respect.
He didn't know how to start, and he didn't dare to speak up, because the truth of the matter was still debatable. Once the word "usurpation of the throne" came out of his mouth, then according to [Fraud]'s shameless nature, the blame for the initiator might be put on his head.
So He just stood there, waiting for the "judgment" of [fraud].
The look in those eyes when they looked at Herobus was also very complicated, but that complicated emotion didn't seem to be directed at Him. After a long while, He spoke:
"laugh--
I want to ask but I don’t dare to ask, so what are you doing here?”
With just this one sentence, Herobus knew that what Cheng Shi said was 80% true, but he didn't dare to bet on the remaining 20%, so he could only deal with it and said:
"True God, my Lord and the Void should not be so estranged. I came here to see if there is any room for change."
Herobus said this very skillfully, without revealing any of his thoughts, and even gave the other party a way to turn the situation around.
The pair of eyes turned slightly, scrutinizing Him for a moment, then sneered again and said:
"The reason the sea of desire surges year after year is because all humans and gods have desires.
I know what you are thinking, put your heart back in your stomach.
You don't really think that a mortal would come to you to discuss overthrowing the true God, do you?
Oh, that's ridiculous."
“!!!”
I knew it!
Herobus's eyes focused and he felt at ease.
This was indeed not part of Yuxi's plan. It was most likely a calculation of [Nothingness] against his benefactor. Yuxi was just a mouthpiece at best!
However, this conspiracy hit his weak spot, making it impossible to refuse. Herobus once again examined his heart. Even if this was extremely unfair to his benefactor, they also said that only when you are in a desperate situation can you make a desperate move...
How can one seek rebirth without destroying oneself?
My Lord, for the sake of your will of [annihilation], I will bear the pain of the throne for you!
Herobus suppressed the complexity in his heart and bowed slightly to those eyes. Now that things had come to this, he no longer needed to verify anything. But just as he was about to retreat, those eyes called him back.
“The throne of God is so moving.
It seems you've already begun to dream of the day when you can be my equal."
Herobus' heart trembled, not daring to reveal his true feelings, and responded dutifully: "I dare not."
"laugh--
It’s not that I don’t dare to think about it, but I don’t dare to say it.
Forget it, there has to be one cheaper one, and you are just the one chosen by [fate].
Now that the new [Annihilation] is about to take the throne, the identity of [Annihilation] Envoy should be useless to you, right?"
Herobus was stunned, not understanding what [fraud] meant.
Those eyes didn't hold back, and said straight to the point:
"When you ascend to the throne, leave your vessel to my followers.
Okay, back off."
Herobus' pupils shrank, and he said in astonishment, "But your envoy Yuxi and I have already agreed on the terms of the deal."
"trade?"
The eyes turned cold, and the void began to condense instantly.
“Who told you this was a deal?
I repeat, the container is of no use to you, leave it to my followers and go away.
Wait until you can truly stand on equal footing with me before questioning me."
“…”
Herobus's expression changed several times. Finally, he took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and left without saying a word.
And just after He left, the slightly upturned corners of his eyes turned cold in an instant, and the coldness filled the void in an instant.
He looked in the direction where Herobus had left, then looked towards where the believers in this world were, and said without joy or sorrow:
"[Fraud] Orders... a foolish joke?
You will please Him, but His ways are wrong."
As he spoke, his eyes blinked twice, shutting out the noise in his ears. Then, the urgent voice of a clown could be heard from this frozen void:
“Not distinguishing true from false…
Lies like yesterday...
My Lord, please answer the phone. Why is it always busy? Herobros is coming to look for you. Do you know that?
Could it be that the ** didn’t transfer the call?
But if I pray to the mask, what if I get pulled up by Him?
God, save me."
As those eyes listened to these blasphemous words, they became colder yet more resolute.
Since He is infallible and will not err, His followers cannot follow Him into error.
He pondered for a moment and left the void.
And when the eyes left, when the frost in the sky melted away, a pair of identical star-like eyes quietly opened in the same place, and said with a sound of tut-tut:
“No wonder you insisted on fighting me, it turns out you wanted to absorb some of my aura of deception.
My good sister has finally made progress as she doesn't blink an eye when it comes to lying.
Unfortunately, any progress on the wrong path is a bondage.
Your path... has never been right."
