[Chaos]'s Final Decree
When [Prosperity] dies, the Void is filled with verdant branches;
[Annihilation] Upon death, the power to destroy the world is concentrated in Corner.
What a spectacular scene it would be when [Chaos] dies!
No, it wasn't spectacular, and the scene was too abstract.
The surging power of [Chaos] overflowed, like steam from an exploding oven, filling the entire Void. Immediately, everything in the Void turned into abstract symbols, which began to tremble chaotically in this space.
The [Memory] Memory Archive transformed into a Pure White circle, the three Mortals turned into scattered points of light, and even the [Death] Fishbone Hall was not spared. Little Skull, like particles, collided and separated, aggregated and disintegrated, each drawing irregular trajectory curves at different nodes.
Only a gigantic skull remained standing in the center of this Void, the eerie green flames in its eyes long since replaced by collapsing yellow mist, and the stark white of the bone surface now stained with a kaleidoscope of colors.
Absurd and abstract, comical and distorted.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Soon, the gods who came upon hearing the commotion dispelled the "resentment" of [Chaos], Void to the void. They looked at [Death], and then at the player standing in the [Memory] Memory Archive, and immediately realized that the self-destruction of [Chaos] might once again be related to this Clown.
How many gods have died because of him?
Cheng Shi remained unmoved under the gazes of the gods, but Li Wufang was not. He swallowed hard, quietly retreated, and hid behind Cheng Shi, gritting his teeth and asking in a trembling voice:
"I knew it would be like this! Sure enough, [Order], no, [Chaos] also perished."
But boss, he seems to think you...
Before he could finish speaking, [Justice) ] arrived.
A streak of starlight flashed across the sky, and then the darkness of the Void faded completely.
The gods and humans present were once again drawn into a dazzling starry Starry Sky by the Radiant Balance. Witnessed by the orderly stars, [Justice) ] gazed upon Cheng Shi and uttered a resounding [Order] Divine Resonance that commanded the respect of the Cosmos:
"I have come in accordance with the Final Decree, to..."
He paused for a rare moment, but still revealed His true identity.
"... The Divine Authority of the Divine Throne, which [Chaos] is attached to, is entrusted to... you... to inherit."
The light from the scales poured down on Cheng Shi amidst the astonished gazes of the gods, but at that moment, the [Death] boss swung his scythe, severing the light and blocking Cheng Shi's path.
The massive skull regained its [Death] chill; it looked at Justice) and solemnly shook its head, saying:
"[Justice) ]!"
You should know that once his identity is Predestination and corrupted by Faith, the world will lose all hope.
Let alone Order!
I urge you to think thrice before you act.
The aura surrounding the Radiant Balance tightened, stars flashed incessantly, and the power of [Order] began to spread. It looked down upon [Death] and hummed:
"[The Covenant] is inviolable, and so is the Final Decree."
"It is precisely because I know his identity that he must succeed to the Divine Authority of [Chaos]!"
As he spoke, streams of light bypassed the scythe of [Death] and converged on Cheng Shi once more. This was the scene of the Final Decree's execution. In this Starry Sky, the [Covenant] was supreme over everything, so no matter how strong or rebellious [Death] was, it could not defy the rules of the [Covenant], nor could it refuse the judgment of [Justice) ].
The giant skull's face was extremely grim. Having learned from Cheng Shi that everything False Curtain Call, it never wanted the Cosmos to collapse like this. But no one could have predicted that [Chaos] would awaken at this moment and deliver the most fatal blow to the world.
Where is the Deception?
Where is [Time]?
Where are the Fear Faction?
If we don't resist now, are we just going to watch the Cosmos lose its answers and collapse?
No!
[Death] The boss was enraged. A green flame powerful enough to burn through the Cosmos burst forth from His scythe, arriving in front of Cheng Shi almost at the same time as the stream of light. He severed the stream of light once again, but was mercilessly bound to the spot by [Covenant] in the next second, with no Divine Power to help him anymore.
The giant skull struggled in anger, but could only watch as the light poured down on Cheng Shi for the third time.
But at that moment, the Starry Sky fell silent.
It wasn't that the gods were speechless; it was pure silence!
[Silence] He arrived, and then returned, descending before Cheng Shi.
The instant the Leaky World Silent Puppet descended, even the stars ceased to twinkle, and the scales constructed of flowing light were directly smeared with a layer of ink, silently dragged into the surrounding darkness.
The Divine Resonance of "[Order]" abruptly ceased, as if the Final Decree had been interrupted...
Is that right?
No!
Not at all!
The Covenant is above all else and cannot be violated. It is a pact signed by the gods in the past. This pact brings together the power of the gods. Although it is to protect divine authority, it also locks the gods under the rules of the Covenant.
The gods of today are more like Proxy of the [Covenant]'s divine authority. Once their will conflicts with the [Covenant], then sorry, your Divine Power may no longer belong to you.
The [Covenant] will not usurp the Deity's Authority, but it can temporarily suppress them!
[Justice) ] remained as rigid as ever. Using the power granted to Him by this Starry Sky, He reversed and silenced [Silence], freezing this usually inactive Leaky World Silent Puppet completely in this Void.
At the same time, the stream of light bypassed the two deities and finally arrived before Cheng Shi.
Cheng Shi's expression was solemn as he looked at the starlight that was about to bestow its light upon him. He pursed his lips, as if he had made up his mind, and silently opened his arms.
It seems he has chosen to accept!
"No! Boss, run!"
Li Wufang was startled. He didn't know why Cheng Shi had spread his arms, but he knew that his boss absolutely could not become [Chaos] at this moment.
He doesn't understand Predestination, but he understands friendship.
So, at the very instant the streak of light arrived, Li Wufang shoved Cheng Shi aside, leaped up, and charged towards the starlight.
He wanted to use this to shield his boss from the corruption of the [Chaos].
Even two gods couldn't stop the Final Decree, so how could a Mortals possibly succeed?
The Investigator had undoubtedly failed. The starlight suddenly veered off course, whistling past him and pouring directly onto Cheng Shi.
At that moment, watching helplessly Predestination predetermined future was no longer Predestination Li Wufang let out a painful roar:
"No!!!"
But the next second, he shut up.
Because he saw Li Jingming smiling!
"?"
What's going on?
Is this [Memory] Chosen of God a traitor?
Why is he laughing? What is he laughing at? The world is losing its Predestination, the Cosmos is about to collapse—what's so funny about that?
Is he World-Destroyer Faction, waiting for the day the world is destroyed?
Li Wufang choked up; he desperately wanted to ask Li Jingming: Do you even have a heart?
But that thought quickly vanished, because a few breaths later, he saw a pair of black hole-like eyes descend upon this place and bring a figure to this Starry Sky.
He stared at the figure in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.
No...
Why is the boss taking so long to arrive?
Li Wufang blinked, then looked at the leader in front of him who had received the baptism of light, and for a moment he only wanted to ask himself:
Oh no, do I even have a brain?
Why am I so confused?
Could it have been contaminated by [Chaos]!?
