"Very good. When you have enough courage to bear everything, you have the right to know the answer."
[Deception] With a slight smile, His eyes deepened, and He lowered His gaze, asking in an unprecedentedly serious tone, "Are you ready?"
These five simple words were like five bullets that struck Cheng Shi directly between the eyebrows, making him freeze in place.
He felt the surrounding void solidify, and the tangible pressure instantly enveloped him, rendering him powerless, as if he were about to face a cruel torture at the mercy of others.
Cheng Shi's heart suddenly raced. He was uneasy and even a little dry-mouthed as he asked, "What? What are you preparing?"
"The answer you're looking for."
"!!!"
Cheng Shi's heart was pounding in his chest. He could clearly feel every muscle in his body trembling, and the uncontrollable fear was almost overwhelming his reason.
Yes, fear!
Even though Cheng Shi thought about knowing the answer to the future of the world every day, he was afraid when he actually faced it.
The closer one gets to home, the more timid one becomes; the closer one gets to the truth, the more fearful one becomes. This is the same principle.
He dared not face the answer. Even if he didn't know exactly what the answer was, he could foresee that to reach the other side of the future, this world would definitely have to pay a "big" price...
After experiencing a false ending, he was no longer afraid of death, but he feared that his death could not bring back the friendships that had been nurtured with blood.
Is the gaze of [Yuan Chu] really so easy to "act" out?
If Wei Mu's guess is true... can the world where that new god descends really survive?
Cheng Shi didn't know, and dared not even think about it.
However, the deception was still the same deception; He didn't give Cheng Shi a choice at all. The only improvement was that this time He gave Cheng Shi a heads-up.
Cheng Shi's thoughts were racing. He didn't know how to respond, nor how to express his fear. He could only subconsciously reply:
What answer?
[Deception] He chuckled, but there was no real smile in his upturned eyes.
All answers.
Aren't you curious to know where I locked up "fate"?
I can tell you, I did not imprison Him.
"?"
"He is my only god in the [nothingness], and my only support under this starry sky."
Appearance and essence are interdependent; without appearance, all essence is empty talk, and without essence, all appearance is also illusory.
Therefore, I will never distance myself from Him, never despise Him, and never betray Him…”
"!!!"
What!?
Cheng Shi's mind went completely blank.
Your will and the will of "Fate" are so different that the whole world knows it, and even "Nothingness" is entangled with it. At this point, you tell me that "Fate" is your only reliance?
My Lord, have you been drinking fake alcohol?
Or is the current "fraud" not "fraud," but "fate"?
Otherwise, Cheng Shi couldn't think of any reason why he would say such a thing.
However, before he could finish saying "deception," his eyes lowered and a strange emotion flashed within them.
"But He... betrayed me."
"ha."
Cheng Shi suddenly laughed.
At this moment, the clown's intelligence returned to its peak. He shook his index finger at those eyes, refusing to utter a single word:
"Don't lie to your benefactor."
In the false curtain call, [Fate] once said that He descended at the beginning of the era along with the predetermined will, and you were born with 'rebellion'. Therefore, from the very beginning, the two of you were opposed to each other, and there was no question of who betrayed whom!
I thought this would be a game of honesty, but you insisted on playing a 'heart-to-heart' game with me...
I don't know what you're trying to say. Your emotions are too strange. This doesn't seem like my benefactor, not like the God of Joy who has everything under control and laughs at the world.
I really can't trust you anymore, especially at this time.
My Lord, can't you be a little more sincere?
Okay, even if we assume that what you said is true, there's a condition: you said you didn't imprison [Fate], then let [Fate] come and verify it with you.
I'm talking about the real "destiny," not your illusion, your alter ego, or your role-playing.
"As long as He appears here, confirming everything you've said, I will..."
"He is dead."
"...Don't cause trouble. This excuse is so low that even your followers no longer use it. If you're hiding [Destiny], just say so."
"The Joker is on the side of the Fear faction. You can see through my thoughts, so why should I be wary of the Joker?" Cheng Shi was completely puzzled.
[Deception] Without uttering a word, He simply stared blankly at Cheng Shi until Cheng Shi's expression slowly froze, and he swallowed the rest of his words. Only then did He repeat, without joy or sorrow, a single sentence:
"He is dead."
"I don't believe it!" Cheng Shi blurted out, a sneer rising from his lips, but he quickly suppressed it.
His cheeks were twitching, his body was trembling, and his consciousness was fighting.
One consciousness told him that this was a new trick by the God of Fun to play on the clown, and he should not believe it, or he would be the clown; while another consciousness told him that the God of Fun's emotions did not seem fake, and that [Fate] might have really fallen, otherwise this joke would be too abrupt and unnecessary.
But Cheng Shi couldn't believe it!
Although he cursed "bitch, bitch" every day, when he heard the news of [Fate]'s death, he felt as if his rationality had been drained and he completely lost his mind.
