The attitude of [Fairness (Order)] towards Cheng Shi's proposal is quite intriguing.
Each time He simplified the process, the scales of light tilted further, yet even in this imbalance, He persisted in simplifying.
This absurd scene seems to suggest that rigid "fairness (order)" is fed up with Cheng Shi's "greed" and wishes it could leave early and stay far away.
However, Cheng Shi, having seized the opportunity, was not about to let the old antique go.
A new round of voting began, and Cheng Shi instantly received 7 votes.
Prosperity, Decay, Order, War, Chaos, and Memory are the core vote-holding groups, plus one vote of Silence, which remains unchanged.
This time, even the [Birth] didn't "perform" anymore; His will to approach [Nothingness] was laid bare, directly pushing the vote count to half.
Cheng Shi is just one vote away from securing the vote for "Truth".
At this moment, however, Death hesitated, unable to cast its vote.
Cheng Shi was not surprised by this, and he understood what the boss, [Death], meant.
The current power of "truth" is still being exercised by "fraud," and since "fraud" has not yet returned, Cheng Shi's actions are suspected of "taking advantage of the situation."
Although both are fearful, and even if the bill passes, the voting power is merely shifting from one hand to the other, it seems that [Death] is more inclined to believe in [Fraud].
However, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the process.
He also believes in fraud, so he understands death, and the boss's hesitation further proves that fraud can prolong the future of this world.
Therefore, Cheng Shi was not only not frustrated, but was actually extremely happy.
However, for the greedy lord, not being frustrated did not mean he did not want the votes. He looked at the huge skull above his head and said nothing, but his firm gaze seemed to say everything.
I will walk my own path, and my destiny is in my own hands.
Meeting those resolute eyes, the massive skull paused slightly, then let out a long sigh:
"agree."
He was swept up by nothingness, bound to the chariot of nothingness from beginning to end.
9 votes!
The motion passed, and Honglin went from having no voting rights to having two votes in just a few minutes.
She excitedly clenched her fist, her feline brain working at full speed, reaching its peak, and shouted directly at Cheng Shi:
"continue!
Cheng Shi, continue!
We've kidnapped them and taken all their voting rights!
"?"
Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Since they've kidnapped me, why do they only want the voting rights?"
If voting can determine who holds power and who gets the throne, then...
He raised his head, looked at the increasingly unbalanced scales of light, and revealed a smile that was hard to decipher.
"Oblivion has passed away, and its authority is now vacant due to the unresolved nature of past resolutions. In order to ensure that the will of all gods can continue in the meetings of the covenant, I request... Death to act on behalf of Oblivion's voting rights and authority!"
"???"
"!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi looked at the [Death] boss again, and said with a bright smile:
"Thank you for your continued protection, sir. It has been my oversight that I have not offered any tribute for so long. Today, I will make up for all my past oversights."
The Joker almost never performs anymore.
The enormous skull gaped in shock, never expecting to receive a "tribute" at this convention.
Is it right to exercise the authority and voting rights of the other party on their behalf?
Out of the solemnity of divinity and respect for faith, it was certainly inappropriate, but the eye sockets of the giant skull still burst into flames for a moment, becoming radiant.
It's strange, you can see the excitement in a skull.
The last time I saw a similar scene was when the boss of [Death] named the Bone Servant Lele's Ring.
The Scales of Light trembled slightly because of Cheng Shi's wild idea. Things had developed to this point, and it was no longer a matter of the rules of the [Convention]. This established figure, who was so highly praised by the Fear Faction, was simply trampling on the dignity of the [Convention] and making a fool of himself!
However, the rigid rules restricted all of His actions; He could not refuse and could only become that "monkey."
This time, there were undoubtedly 9 votes again, but before [Birth] could cast its vote, Boss [Death] cast its vote for [Time] ahead of time.
Cheng Shi remained silent, only suppressing his laughter.
The moment the bill was passed, the world welcomed a new "person in charge".
The convention is over.
What was once a universal agreement to protect, balance, and limit the gods has been reduced to a "cat toy" for mortals to play with.
What's even more infuriating is that this cat toy was handed to us by [Deception] at the very beginning of the era. A relay race from the beginning to the end of the era has turned the world into a stage for [Nothingness] to perform at will.
No, it's not "nihilism," it's a foolish joke!
The world will be a stage for fools!
Cheng Shi does whatever he's told; justice (order) is no longer a respected embodiment of rules, but rather more like a humble servant who obeys orders.
Tarot gave this a big thumbs up.
Even fooling the gods is no more than this.
But this is just the beginning.
"【Corruption】has long been absent, and the council's proposals have been repeatedly abandoned, which is too passive. In order to ensure that the will of all gods continues in the council, I request 【War】to exercise the voting rights of 【Corruption】and..."
Before he could finish speaking, he caused a huge uproar. Cheng Shi didn't even change his excuse, but he got stuck at the end.
