Who Killed Prosperity?!?

When disagreements arise regarding the concept of "Nothingness," whose opinion should be followed?

The answer is [Deception].

Because [Destiny] is extremely Indifference and rarely speaks.

Furthermore, because He cannot possibly outmaneuver [Deception] in a matter of speech.

After He said "oppose," the Deception one, who held a different view, began His mockery.

"Great idea. I've wanted to coexist with the Mother of Prosperity for a long time. I've always felt that Her eyes aren't captivating enough, so I might as well replace them with mine."

But the Covenant might not like me doing this, so why don't you give me a demonstration first?

Oh, and by the way, we'll need the greatest [Truth] to first release the [Mother of Prosperity] from your pile of tattered books, and then we can discuss who will assimilate to Her first.

After saying this, He looked at [Folly].

Those eyes, shrouded in Chaos white mist, scoffed and said, "A meaningless farce," before vanishing.

He left, seemingly having foreseen the ensuing disagreements and defeats.

Seeing [Folly] leave, [Deception] grinned and looked at [Truth].

"Your rival, whom you finally managed to become an ally, has left. What are your thoughts, God?"

"History may not be the truth, but it is worth remembering. The Covenant recognizes the Divine Name of Memory and safeguards its Divine Authority, and should naturally also acknowledge the changes brought about by the exercise of its Divine Authority."

Therefore, I have no objection.

As soon as these words were spoken, [Memory] opened its eyes and looked at Him with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi felt that this "Truth" was truly remarkable. It seemed that He had gained another ally, even if not in the present, but in the future, or even in the past.

[Truth] With an infinitely rational gaze, he scanned Cheng Shi and Hong Lin's bodies, and then calmly explained his position.

"You all know my will; I have no intention of abusing divine authority."

Therefore, the [Covenant] only needs to affirm my identity and grant me the Divine Authority to assimilate [Prosperity]. As for other Divine Authority, I can relinquish it and share it with this long-absent Subgod, Flazhol.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi and Hong Lin, who were tense and terrified, brightened up, while [Deception] frowned.

[Truth] is not [prosperity]; it is the collection of Cosmos laws and the summary of the essence of the universe. If it gains the Divine Authority to assimilate, it will not be long before everyone is included in it and becomes part of the Truth of this world.

This is the reason why [Deception] agrees to Cheng Shi: no one wants to be assimilated, neither by [Prosperity] nor by [Truth].

So the no-longer-joking [Deception] prepared to voice its opposition, but before it could even open its mouth, a terrifying, world-destroying roar suddenly echoed through the Void without warning!

"Boom—Boom!!!"

An explosion that nearly shook the Cosmos suddenly rang out. Before Cheng Shi and Hong Lin could react, an indescribable surge of life Vitality erupted from the Void rifts in all directions, instantly turning the entire Starry Sky into a verdant world.

The two humans didn't even have time to react. They just felt everything go black and lost consciousness. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves transformed into a deathly white skull.

"?"

"Ah?"

Two Little Skull appeared dumbfounded beneath the Great One's Bone Throne, while [Death] had somehow transformed back into the form of a giant skull, and the Fishbone Hall unexpectedly appeared in this Void.

He sat high on the Bone Throne, his eyes filled with raging green flames, his gaze heavy as he looked down at his feet.

Cheng Shi and Hong Lin exchanged a nervous glance, their hearts pounding as they followed His gaze downwards. They saw that the Void, where the shadows of the canopy sea still lingered, was no longer lush and green. The world-destroying power emanating from that terrifying explosion seemed to have shattered both reality and the Void, turning them into a jumbled mess.

In this space riddled with Void crevices, terrifying fluctuations surged everywhere, yet all that could be seen was Vitality and decay.

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat, and a bad thought suddenly popped into his mind.

But the idea was so absurd and terrifying that he quickly retracted it the moment he thought of it.

Hong Lin was the same, but she knew more Cheng Shi, because her keen sense of prosperity told her that an incomprehensibly dense and terrifying aura of prosperity had just appeared in this space, and now, this place was already...

There will be no more prosperity.

She gaped in disbelief, her teeth chattering, too terrified to speak by the utterly absurd idea that had crossed her mind.

"This is..." Cheng Shi asked, chin in hand, his head buzzing.

"[Final Decree]..."

The enormous skull on the Bone Throne sighed and slowly uttered the word. Its tone was so complex and incomprehensible, even carrying a trace of indescribable sorrow.

"[Prosperous], [Final Decree]."

When the True God falls, the Covenant will, on His behalf, bestow upon us a final, irrevocable divine decree.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

What!!!???

Has prosperity fallen?

He is dead?

Huh? No! How could that be!?

"How could that be!? My lord, isn't it said that the Covenant protects all True God, preventing their fall and the loss of their Divine Authority? How could He die!?"

Who killed Him?

Who can kill Him?

Of course, it was Cheng Shi who asked this question, because Hong Lin's mind was still blank.

Ever since she appeared under the gaze of the gods, the roaring and howling in her mind had never stopped. She had almost lost the composure and perception that a warrior should have. She could only ensure that she would not collapse in fear in front of the gods and stand up straight with all her might, but she could no longer guarantee anything else.

She let her Ear instinctively receive everything she heard, but she knew nothing about or understood any of the new terms such as "Covenant" or "Final Decree".

Only after hearing Cheng Shi's words did she realize that this the Fated's Fate Weaver knew far more than she did. He seemed to understand the [gods] very well, and even showed no fear in the face of this terrifying giant skull.

This should be considered "death," right?

It turned out to be a giant skull...

But why does He stutter when He speaks?

No, no, no, Hong Lin, you can't think about these things. You need to cheer up and concentrate. The problem is huge now because your Lord of Grace [Prosperity]... seems to have fallen!

The enormous skull on the Bone Throne did not answer Cheng Shi. It simply gazed wistfully at the epicenter of the explosion, at the place where the [Final Edict of Prosperity] still echoed, and sighed once more.

"Life is, indeed, so fragile."

Only He and I remained.

Listening to the sigh of "Death," Cheng Shi was only certain of one thing: "Prosperity" was truly dead, utterly and irrevocably dead!

But the question is, who killed Him?

Is it the "Annihilation" that seeks to Annihilation its Divine Authority to please itself?

No, that's not right. I remember those seemingly Void black eyes were there; they never left...

That is...

No! Wait a minute!!!

Cheng Shi was stunned, because he suddenly remembered what Death had said, the words about the rules of the Covenant. His original words were:

"Under the protection of the Covenant, no God can kill another God."

Because the very purpose of signing it was to prevent wars from ever happening again, where gods fall.

There is no single god who can kill another god!

So...

Cheng Shi stared at the devastation beneath his feet, which seemed to cover almost the entire Starry Sky, and shook his head in disbelief, speechless.

So it is...

Prosperity killed prosperity!

He...

It perished.
