“All attendees have voted, and the results are there for all to see.
It is an exception for the Covenant of the Gods to allow mortals to observe, and you... have no right to question my impartiality."
[Justice (Order)] Although he still spoke with a rigid tone of order, everyone could tell that he was a little angry about Cheng Shi's questioning.
In this universe, even the gods rarely questioned its fairness. At most, they would doubt, like [Fool], that its fairness was being exploited by certain people with ulterior motives and used in the "wrong" place.
Therefore, the consequences of Cheng Shi's words were serious, but not that serious. After all, the [Convention] did not involve mortals, and no matter how angry [Justice (Order)] was, it could not punish him.
But He can drive this mortal out.
Then the scale with flowing light cast a ray of [Order] light, ready to move Cheng Shi out of the venue. But at this moment, just when [Fate] was about to take action, the clown laughed again.
He raised his head, looked directly at [Justice (Order)] and said:
“How can we talk about justice if it cannot be questioned?
You are so eager to deny my doubts, but is it because the [Order] of this world has long deviated from justice!?"
“…”
In one word, the shining scales calmed down.
[Annihilation] saw the expulsion glow dissipate, and said with a look of sarcasm:
"As expected of a follower of [Fraud], you've inherited your master's true teachings in terms of self-deception. I admit your scheme was brilliant, exceeding my expectations. But the vote is in, and you've lost. You refuse to accept defeat, yet you blindly question [Justice (Order)]. How can [Fraud]'s sophistry even convincingly claim victory over this outcome? It's ridiculous!"
Cheng Shi didn't look away, but sneered and retorted:
"If I remember correctly, you were the first one to question [fairness (order)] in this meeting, right?
Why do you feel that [justice (order)] is right now?
When it is beneficial to him, he will defend it in every possible way; when it is not beneficial to him, he will criticize it endlessly. Oh, I think this high and mighty god is just like me, a person who changes his attitude according to the situation.
"you!!!"
Another sentence almost broke the defense of [Annihilation], which "won" in the end.
The problem was that Cheng Shi's words also insulted himself, and he made no denying that he was also a villain who changed his attitude according to the situation. This made [Annihilation] unable to find a way to respond for a while. His eyes changed several times, and the coldness in his eyes became more and more condensed.
The gods on the scene saw a mortal here criticizing the gods in a sarcastic tone without naming any of them, as if every god was being scolded, and their expressions varied for a moment.
Justice (Order) was silent for a moment, retracted its radiance, and hummed again:
"you're right.
Any justice must stand up to scrutiny.
I allow you the right to question, but questioning is not the same as smearing. If you cannot provide evidence, I will still expel you from the meeting and will no longer allow you to attend the meeting."
Hearing this, Cheng Shi laughed even more wildly. He took a step forward and pointed at the seats of the gods present and said impudently:
“How ridiculous!
What other evidence is needed?
Even with my mortal wisdom, I can count them clearly. So, you true gods should be able to count them clearly, right?
Since ancient times, there have been sixteen people who have corrected the name of [Origin], but now there are only fourteen on the scene. There are still two who have not voted yet. Why is the issue closed? "
"Oh, another folly."
After hearing Cheng Shi's words, [Fool] sneered, glanced at [Fraud], then glanced at [Annihilation], left a word of contempt, and left.
The gods ignored his departure, but after hearing Cheng's true words, they looked towards the thrones of [War] and [Depravity].
They all know more or less that [War] disappeared after it came into contact with [Fraud]. So Cheng Shi is so arrogant at this time. Does it mean that the [War] card is the backup plan for [Nothingness] to win the issue?
Herobus seemed to see hope. His eyes lit up and he looked at Cheng Shi not as if he was looking at a mortal, nor as if he was looking at a subordinate god who was equal to him, but more like he was looking at... the [Fraud] himself!
He never thought that a mortal would have a say in the Covenant of Gods. As for why Cheng Shi became the protagonist of this drama, it was probably because some words were not easy to say from the mouth of the true god [Fraud].
[Fraud] also has his eyes raised high and his eyeballs rolling around, making it impossible to tell what he is thinking, but the gods know that he must be very happy now.
Of course, the Fear Faction who retained their memories knew that it was impossible for [War] to cast this vote, so they understood and looked at the other vacant seat, [Depravity], in astonishment.
Justice (Order) had almost guessed what Cheng Shi was going to say next, but in response to his "doubt," he still explained in a serious manner:
"Those who have not attended the Covenant of Gods meeting will be automatically counted as abstaining from voting after the participating gods have completed their voting.
Therefore, your question is invalid, and the result of this issue is..."
"etc!"
Cheng Shi took another step forward, almost standing at the front of the [Nothingness] Seat. He looked at the [Foul] Seat with red eyes, pointed at it and laughed crazily:
"You also said that after the gods have voted, those who were absent will be considered to have abstained from voting. So, before the final tally is made, as long as those who were absent have responded, should that also be counted towards the voting results?"
Before Justice (Order) could answer this question, Annihilation sarcastically said:
"What a clever mind and such a sly argumentative mouth! [Foul] never refuses you. You want to use His will to get the last vote for yourself, right? But you've probably forgotten that [Foul] never refuses because He accepts all desires, yet He never responds to them. Come, show us what a true clown is. I'm giving you this chance. Show us your desires right here to my fellow God, and see how He accepts them without responding!"
