Destiny Also Has Divergent Paths

The Divine Resonance of "Order" echoed throughout the entire arena. Regardless of whether the prisoners inside the prison could hear it, the faces of the surviving Death Sentence inmates were certainly not pleasant.

But it was the prisoner with the grim expression, not the Punishment Knight behind Cheng Shi.

Upon hearing that the Chief Judge had changed the Death Sentence for these prisoners to blasphemy, he grinned and placed an iron hand on the back of Cheng Shi's neck.

"You dare to mock me? Die, you scum!"

?

I didn't bring you on, so why are you breaking through the defense?

If you're so capable, go find Zhao Si. Once you find him, you won't even have to lift a finger; I'll kill him for you.

But it's no use saying such things now. This enraged Punishment Knight just wants to vent his anger on Cheng Shi. He seems to think that as long as he kills Cheng Shi, no one will know that he was tricked.

However, he was overthinking things. Just as he was about to strangle Cheng Shi turned around and plunged Scalpel into the knight's throat.

"Laugh--"

The Punishment Knight lost his strength and blood spurted out.

"Uh... uh, you..."

"What do you mean, 'me'?"

If you want to kill someone, you have to be prepared to be killed in return. That's common sense, understand?

Perfect timing, I can borrow a set of clothes to wear!

As he spoke, before the Iron Law Knight could surround the arena amidst the chaos, Cheng Shi quickly removed the Punishment Knight's armor and put it on himself.

As for this helmet... the Prison Helmet can't be taken off, and actually, the helmet can't be put on either. So be it, it's enough to fool idiots.

However, his every move was still seen by the Iron Law Knight who were searching for criminals to Death Sentence. The knights shouted the slogan of "Order" and immediately surrounded him.

Faced with this small torrent of steel, Cheng Shi not only remained calm but also laughed.

He mustered all his strength and roared loudly across the entire arena:

"Little liars!"

I hope you've already escaped!

If you're still here, you'd better hide well, because I'll find you soon!

After speaking, Cheng Shi snapped his fingers at the surrounding knights, activating the first talent of his Finale Performance:

Destiny Also Has Divergent Paths!

Yes, Destiny Also Has Divergent Paths!

Cheng Shi's current Destiny is indeed heading towards misfortune: the prison is bombed, the citizens are in panic, the city is besieged by cavalry, and he has been sentenced to death.

In the foreseeable future, if Cheng Shi does not resist, then there will be no other way for him but death.

So Cheng Shi laughed. Since my Destiny is so unfortunate, I might as well be even more unfortunate.

After all, only Change can create opportunities, and only opportunities can create new life.

So he launched the Destiny Also Has Divergent Paths!

This talent, which seemed to be filled with disaster and pain, made no sound the moment it was activated, and the entire scene was not even disturbed.

However, just as the knights were about to thrust their lances at Cheng Shi...

One of the audience support pillars, deep underground, suddenly collapsed!

The pillar had long been overburdened by rats and ants and had been neglected for many years. The chaotic trampling and turbulent pressure from the audience made it even more precarious.

Most importantly, the moment Cheng Shi activated his talent, a slightly plump female audience member suddenly changed her escape route and shakily ran across the platform it supported. This shakiness was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing this pillar, which had only stood for a few years, to prematurely meet its Apocalypse.

"Boom--"

The ground has collapsed.

Without warning, the stands on the southwest side of the arena collapsed, and countless broken pieces of wood and flying dust, along with screaming crowds, crashed into the ground.

As one section collapsed, the entire circular roof of the arena began to crumble, and the audience seats, now without support, triggered a chain reaction amidst shock and fear.

"Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom—"

Something far more terrifying than the explosion happened: the entire arena collapsed.

The heavy logs falling from the ceiling, like executioner's hammers, hurtled towards the Iron Law Knight and Cheng Shi in the center of the arena.

Now, an even more unfortunate Destiny looms ahead, and it seems there's no escaping it.

Everyone was doomed. Even the Iron Law Knight were terrified, their faces pale. They held their lances straight up as if trying to fight back, relying on the strength of their hands to block the falling giant trees.

However, the power of these few lances was too limited. The knights underestimated both the weight of the giant roof beams and the speed at which they were falling.

Before the glimmers of "Order" could be pieced together, "divine punishment" had already fallen upon them.

No—no!!!

"Boom—Boom—"

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the earth shook.

Montrani is destined to be anything but peaceful today. The city's residents are awakened by the violent shaking and are all looking toward the arena.

There, a massive cloud of dust was rising rapidly before dissipating into nothingness.

Where the voice of the Chief Judge, Order, echoes, Destiny arrives quietly, rescinding the death sentence for all who listen to Order.

As for Destiny Cheng Shi, the "favored one" whose Destiny was destined to take Wrong Path turn...

Where did he go?

That's a good question.

In fact, Cheng Shi activated it. He wanted to make the explosion more intense and create more chaos, so that the Iron Law Knight might surround the entire arena and prevent his troublemaking teammates from escaping.

If we're going to sabotage each other, let's sabotage each other to the very end.

But he never expected that misfortune could be contagious.

When misfortunes come together, even God cannot save His Believer.

And so the arena collapsed, completely collapsed, burying all those who hadn't escaped under the rubble.

Cheng Shi ran away when he saw the giant tree crashing down on him. He might not be able to escape the collapsed arena, but as long as he could avoid these falling trees, he could still survive.

So he activated his second talent for his Finale Performance, using the Dice he had buried when he fell as he left the prison gates to transfer himself to the ruins that had collapsed underground.

The ordinary Dice he had placed in the center of the arena, after being shaken by the ground, slowly rolled out a 6, freezing there as if mocking Destiny, witnessing the tragic Destiny of the Iron Law Knight.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

Cheng Shi and appeared in the underground ruins in a curled-up position. The armor he had stolen protected him from many "attacks" of broken wooden spikes, but because of its thickness, it also squeezed his already limited living space.

However, it's not a big problem. As long as the person isn't dead, they can always be saved.

Especially Cheng Shi still has so much medicine, and he himself is a Today's Warrior.

So the warrior took out a bottle of Past Prosperity and a small magic lamp from his personal space.

Without hesitation, he tilted his head back and drank the medicine. After that, his injuries were completely healed. As if by Divine Power, he cleared away the broken wood and steel scraps around him, creating a small space that could accommodate one person.

He listened intently for a moment, and apart from the wails and screams from the surrounding ruins, the sounds from the Surface seemed to have disappeared.

"Tsk, five days. If I can survive here for five days, does that mean I've cleared the game without any pain?"

Hmm, that makes sense...

But what about the prophecy? What happened to the prophecy? Did all my con artists not survive?

Thinking of this Cheng Shi smiled.

All those things he shouted in the arena were lies, just bluff, because he had no intention of going after those little swindlers.

The prophecy of [Destiny] has already foreshadowed the ending. If they are destined to die, there is no point in searching; if they die by their own hand, then there is no need to search, for Destiny will bring them to them.

Just as he was thinking this, a rat with green eyes emerged from the gravel in front of him, squeaking incoherently.

?

Without saying a word, Cheng Shi plunged the Scalpel into the little mouse's head without hesitation.

See, here it is!
