Katarro's unease

[Chaos] Temple.

Today, Katarro is unusually panicked because something he cannot understand is happening in the Temple.

First, the [Chaos] Divine Authority returned in full, hanging above the Temple for a long time. Then, it was all swept away by an unknown force and could no longer be sensed. Even the trace of [Nothingness] aura left by the Lord of Grace in the Temple disappeared!

This undoubtedly means that something earth-shattering has happened in the Cosmos again, and it is very likely related to [Chaos].

Katarro knew, of course, that [Chaos] was his Lord of Grace [Deception], but his keen intuition told him that this matter was definitely not just about his Lord of Grace causing trouble; it was probably related to the real [Chaos].

He had never seen Lord of Grace who had obtained the Divine Authority of [Chaos] ever relinquish Divine Authority!

Who is [the Deception]?

That's someone who, like Lord Cheng Shi, only takes in and never gives out. Unless he's fishing, why would he do something like that!

One can use Divine Authority to fish; who will be the fish?

Normally, no matter what major event occurs, Katarro doesn't need to panic. After all, if the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up. Cheng Shi can't hold it up, there's still his Lord of Grace.

But now that his tallest Lord of Grace had suddenly disappeared some time ago, how could he not panic?

Given his understanding of Lord Cheng Shi and his knowledge of the [Chaos] usurpation, the astute Katarro couldn't help but wonder if the current anomalies within [Chaos] were related to the exposure of [Iron Rule of Order]'s identity!

The only one with the motive to tear off this disguise before the gods seems to be Lord Cheng Shi, who is keen on causing trouble.

Upon realizing this, Katarro's face turned green.

He gazed intently into the distant Void, nervously muttering to himself:

"My lord, my lord, you are stirring up trouble among the gods, but please don't destroy the humble Katarro!"

"Our Lord of Grace hasn't shown up for a long time. Why don't you come to the Temple to inspect the work and offer your condolences to the devout Katarro?"

Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao appears.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Cheng Shi appeared in the Temple.

"!!!"

The Magician came with him, but what's with the Magician's aura!?

Katarro was shocked; he had only ever sensed this aura from his Lord of Grace before.

That was the aura of a god, and a god's aura that resonated deeply with this Temple!

If that were all, the Katarro, who Attendant True God, wouldn't be so shocked. At most, it would just mean that the Lord of Grace had the Magician Proxy the Divine Authority of [Chaos]. But this time is different!

It's important to understand that when the Lord of Grace held the Divine Authority [Chaos], the entire Temple was under Katarro's control. This wasn't just a simple gatekeeper position; it meant that no one could bypass his perception of who came or went.

But just now, when Lord Cheng Shi and the Magician came up, he didn't sense them at all!

He didn't realize someone was coming until the two people came into view.

In the past, this only happened when the Lord of Grace [Deception]!

So in that instant, Katarro's gaze towards Zhen Xin changed completely. He bowed deeply with utmost reverence, and words of praise followed.

"This humble servant of [Nothingness], Katarro, greets Lord of Grace Excellency and Cheng Shi."

"?"

Zhen Xin was taken aback, then looked curiously at the Katarro in front of her.

She knew that [Deception] had replaced [Chaos], so she could naturally understand what the servant of [Nothingness] was.

She simply didn't understand when this [Nothingness] servant had arrived at the Temple, whether he was someone left there by the God of Merriment to greet them, and... when had Cheng Shi become Lord Cheng Shi?

Zhen Xin glanced at Cheng Shi suspiciously, only to see that Cheng Shi looked somewhat embarrassed. Then she looked at Katarro, scrutinizing the familiar figure, the incredibly familiar movements, and the temperament that resembled someone else's. She raised an eyebrow as if she had thought of something.

Just as Zhen Xin was about to question him, Cheng Shi reached out and patted Katarro's shoulder, smiling awkwardly:

"Young man, it's been a long time since I've seen you. Your eyesight has definitely deteriorated."

"Take a good look, is this your Lord of Grace?"

"!!??"

Cheng Shi has said so, it's obvious without even looking that the Magician in front of me is definitely not my Lord of Grace [Deception], but the question is, if she isn't, how could she have bypassed my senses and entered this Temple?

She can't be [Chaos], can she?

Ha, are you kidding me?

Katarro almost laughed at his own neurotic thoughts, but the next second he froze, standing there dumbfounded, his eyes trembling as he turned to Cheng Shi, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints, thinking in shock and disbelief:

How could it be impossible!

[Chaos] If Divine Authority is relinquished, doesn't that mean the Lord of Grace has given up that Divine Authority?

So what?

The Magician before me has inherited the Divine Authority of [Chaos]!?

Then wouldn't she be...?!

Katarro trembled and immediately prostrated himself on the ground, confessing to Zhen Xin:

"Great [Chaos], I am guilty!"

"?"

Cheng Shi realized that things were starting to take a strange turn. He grabbed Katarro, not wanting her to say anything repentant, but unfortunately, this was the Temple of [Chaos]. [Chaos] didn't speak, and no one could move.

Cheng Shi's hand was thus blocked halfway by the surging Chaos Yellow Mist.

Zhen Xin glanced at Cheng Shi with a half-smile, then stuffed yellow mist into his mouth, before looking at the prostrate Katarro with a mocking expression:

You only have one chance.

Katarro never misses an opportunity, and he quickly revealed that he had once impersonated Cheng Shi to deceive the other party.

Zhen Xin was taken aback, then compared the two "Ultraman" on the scene, and laughed in exasperation. She loosened her grip on Cheng Shi and looked at Cheng Shi irritably, saying:

Can you ever tell the truth?

How many things are you still unaware of? No, I should say, how many times have you lied to us?

"..."

I can't remember.

Cheng Shi curled his lip in a fascinating gesture, still trying to argue, "I'm telling the truth, and there's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."

Then he looked at Katarro with a half-smile and said quietly, "I think this [Nothingness] servant might have some other ideas. What, is he thinking of joining the New God [Chaos]?"

New God [Chaos]!

As expected, this former possession of [Deception] has inherited the Divine Throne of [Chaos]!

Katarro's world collapsed. He once thought that this position must have been reserved for Cheng Shi by his Lord of Grace. After all, from History Erasure to Emissary Ultraman appear, and then to bestowing the [Chaos] Vessel, his Lord of Grace was clearly grooming Lord Cheng Shi as his successor.

But how did the day suddenly change?

However, the change of events was not the reason for Katarro's "confession." He was playing the Cheng Shi person and knew what kind of person the other party was. Based on the "merits" he had made in the past in helping the real person, the real person would never abandon him.

But the New God [Chaos] is different!

Under the guidance of his Lord of Grace, Katarro paid close attention to the Magician, unaware that an even more terrifying "sister" was imprisoned within him!

If you anger that person, not only will you not be able to keep your position, but you might not even be able to save your life.

So the prudent Katarro directly confessed. This "betrayal" might earn Cheng Shi a Yin-Yang remark from Lord Cheng Shi, but at least it saved his life while the nature of the New God [Chaos] remained unclear.

Besides, since [Chaos] came with Lord Cheng Shi, the chances of him getting into trouble are probably not high.

Therefore, Katarro acted decisively, once again demonstrating his cleverness to the New God.

Zhen Xin could tell that she was fairly satisfied with this "job application resume".

"Don't be nervous. Even my status as a deity was given to me by your Cheng Shi. He wouldn't be stingy with a mere position as a Temple guard."

"You agree, don't you, Lord Cheng Shi?"

"..."

The God of Merriment is not here, but His Yin-Yang still appear here.
