"But the prayer must be modified.
Let me say this, and you repeat after me. "
Nangong's expression became strange. She stared at Cheng Shi blankly and nodded unconsciously.
Cheng Shi chuckled, cleared his throat, and said while thinking about his words:
“How can living things decay, how can all things perish?
Oh, the Supreme Lord of Corruption, your devout believers have sensed your true will and are willing to respond to your command with their bodies and do their bit for the great cause of corruption in your universe.
I am humble enough to know that I can no longer follow you, and I feel regretful, but in order to practice the true [decay], I hereby pray to you...
I pray that you will untie the shackles of my faith, so that your followers can sing praises for the coming corruption of the universe on another path.
so......
Living things should not decay, and all things should not decay.
The glory of [Decay] will all belong to you. Until that moment, the universe will truly decay!"
"......"
For a moment, Nangong felt that Cheng Shi was the true believer of "Corruption", and she was just a filler who couldn't even recite a litany or sing a hymn.
But since she chose to believe, she did it anyway.
She repeated Cheng Shi's words word for word, and when the last syllable came out of her mouth, a strange fluctuation came from the void above the imperial court that had been ravaged by endless thunder.
Suddenly, a huge vortex appeared in the accumulated dark clouds. An illusory giant's hand hung down weakly. With a light touch of his fingertips, a ray of gray light descended. The light was as bright as stars but could not illuminate the real world. It streaked across the sky like a meteor, and then fell straight down, passing through the roof and directly hitting Nangong.
Nangong was shocked and looked upwards in horror, only to see that as the light fell, the "decay" of the entire imperial court disappeared, the dilapidated was restored, the old was refreshed, the broken was repaired, the withered was revived, and even she herself felt an unbearable tingling sensation on her body.
She pulled back her sleeves in shock, only to see that her scarred arm was now spotlessly white, without even a trace of decay!
She checked her body in disbelief, and then looked at Cheng Shi with confusion and excitement.
He didn't lie, everything he said was true!
[Decay] let herself go, untied the shackles of faith, forgave her for abandoning her oath, and did not cast a curse. From now on, she... is a person, a pure person without any faith!
"Cheng Shi..."
Nangong had so much gratitude in her heart that she wanted to express to Cheng Shi, but when the words came to her lips she didn't know how to start, so she could only stare at Cheng Shi blankly, expressing everything with her eyes.
At this time, Cheng Shi was much more confused than Nangong.
Judging from what he saw, the decay had indeed receded, but...
You are so trendy...
Did we retreat in the wrong direction?
???
Why did you retreat to me?!
Cheng Shi was stunned, because the light that fell from the sky just now did not only hit Nangong, it was two beams of gray-white divine light, one of which hit him!
No, brother, I am a guide. I said that to let your believers pray for you, not for myself!
Besides, I am not a believer in [Decay], why are you following me? !
This is a misunderstanding! It's a complete misunderstanding!
But is this really a misunderstanding?
No......
When Cheng Shi noticed that the nail on his left little finger began to change color, he knew that this was not a misunderstanding.
【Decay】! Nails!
In this way, His divine gift returned to Cheng Shi's hands again.
This also means that his guess about [Decay] was correct. He has changed his strategy and started to destroy his own faith.
"......"
What is this?
What belongs to me is still mine?
Cheng Shi swallowed his saliva and looked at the nail of his left little finger. The nail, which was originally healthy and slightly reddish, was now even brighter. It did not show any characteristics of [decay], but it had already become the representative of [decay]!
That nail merged into one with Cheng Shi!
Cheng Shi originally thought that this was another artifact from a god, but he was wrong, extremely wrong.
because......
[Decay] Authority "Faded" (partially): The authority of the true God recognized by the [Covenant] is granted by its holder, and the user has partial power to exercise this authority.
Authority Effect [Faded Redemption]: The agent is affected by the authority and can forgive the authority holder, freely cancel the faith contract of his believers, acknowledge his oath-breaking behavior and erase the curse he has endured.
Authority Effect [Faded Majesty]: The agent is affected by the authority. When faced with blasphemous attacks from the faith, he can use part of the power of this authority to strengthen himself and deal with the crisis.
Authority!!!
Cheng Shi never thought that the nail he threw away could actually be the authority of [decay]!!!
ah?
ah! ! ? ?
He is so generous!
What does this mean? Seeing that I have the "vitality" of prosperity, I come here specially to balance it out?
Is it the rule of the Covenant or His voluntary gift?
If this is the logic, then shouldn't I ask Lord En for the two powers to play with, and then go and trick those two [Existences]?
Forget it, I won't seek death. After all, even Avros is as obedient as an elementary school student in front of [Time]. They don't look easy to mess with.
