Hu Xuan and... Afros

Cheng Shi is out of trouble.

Whether it was the intense light of the Eternal Day or the fact that Golis's resentment finally crumbled in the piety of the Progeny Priest, Cheng Shi fell down.

Yes, it fell down.

When his feet touched the ground, he realized that the so-called "The Sinner's Regret" had truly hung everyone on a high place.

Those still imprisoned Peak Player were like the Wuma Sinners hanging from the roof of the Evil Infant Tribunal, each one curled up like an infant, suspended on the phantom dome of some strange building.

Cheng Shi felt that the building's shadowy shape looked familiar. After taking a closer look under the bright sunlight, he froze on the spot, breaking out in a cold sweat.

He remembered—the eerie silhouette of that building looked so much like...

Where is the assembly hall of the Church of Dolgo D?!

The persistent ghost of Dolgo D is still chasing me!

Just then, the giant sun reached its highest point, and a figure wearing a black halter dress slowly emerged from the center of the giant sun. With light touches of her jade feet, she walked towards Cheng Shi along the radiance of the Eternal Day.

As expected, the Void is different from reality. Here, Hu Xuan has a complete body and is no longer an untouchable image.

Looking at this outsider who could be considered an ally of the camp, Cheng Shi felt a faint sense of fear rising in his heart.

She must have come to save me, right? She wouldn't make any unreasonable demands, would she?

It's no wonder Cheng Shi overthinks things; whenever he sees Hu Xuan like this, it's hard for him to block out the word "come" that automatically pops into his head.

As Hu Xuan drew closer, Cheng Shi gave a dry laugh and greeted her:

"I really didn't expect to see you again so soon."

No sooner had the words been spoken than a response came from the Void.

"It was indeed somewhat unexpected."

"It was indeed somewhat unexpected."

"..."

Cheng Shi froze, just like Zhen Yi had just done; his smile froze on his face.

Hu Xuan also stopped, halting her steps and standing still in mid-air.

Because they both realized that the second response was not an echo from the Void, but came from the mouth of another person who was very close by!

Cheng Shi's eyes showed solemnity, Hu Xuan turned around in surprise. At the Cheng Shi where their eyes met, in the shadowy seats of the hall's illusory image, a holy man dressed in a black robe with gilded moon trim suddenly stood up, turned around and smiled elegantly at the two of them.

"My brother, the way you appear in front of me is always so... well, unexpected."

Also, are you on a date with this beautiful lady?

This is so heartbreaking that you chose to meet a complete stranger in my cage.

Could she be your... Miss Sun?

I sensed His presence in her, so can you tell me who this Miss Sun is?

"..."

Afros!

Cheng Shi never expected that Golis's resentment would bring him back to Afros!

But it makes sense when you think about it, since this guy is Golis herself, and the Sinner's Regret is the "Divine Authority" that Golis left behind in history.

So when Golis awakens from history, judging from the Discarded Divine Artifact... could it all be Afros's doing?

Ah?

I summoned Afros using these Umbilical Cord Shackles?

No, how come he started working for [Nothingness] so quickly?

"..."

No, Cheng Shi, you can't think about these nonsense things. You have to face it, face this historic moment when these two "Emissary" meet!

While Cheng Shi was still dumbfounded, Hu Xuan was the first to react. She glanced at Afros with a calm expression, recognizing his identity, but she did not greet or acknowledge him. Instead, she looked at Cheng Shi with more interest and asked:

"What is 'Miss Sun'? Is that how you address me in front of others?"

"..."

Sister, please spare me.

What do you think this is, a nice word?

The Emissary of [Filth and Decay] will only elevate his own desires to the status of "Miss Moon," and calling you "Miss Sun" is blasphemy!

These are "evil" words that conceal desires; we must not learn these dirty things!

Cheng Shi shook his head solemnly, indicating that the word had nothing to do with him, but to his surprise, Afros, seeing his reaction, rolled his eyes and actually began to explain it for Cheng Shi.

He faced Hu Xuan in mid-air, smiling charmingly.

"It seems you recognize me. I think I need to clarify something. Miss Moon is my most beloved girl, and I thought you were my brother's most beloved girl, which is why I called you Miss Sun. If I called you by the wrong name, please forgive me..."

"You didn't call me by the wrong name."

"..."

Hu Xuan moved.

She walked down slowly with light, graceful steps, and her expression softened, even though she had initially been unwilling to acknowledge Afros's presence.

"Although the meaning behind it is wrong," Hu Xuan smiled and glanced at the speechless Cheng Shi, then stood gracefully between Afros and Cheng Shi, blocking their gazes from crossing and protecting Cheng Shi behind her. At the same time, she smiled elegantly at Afros, "But I like this title."

"Even if it's tainted by [Filth and Decay]?" Afros asked, scrutinizing Hu Xuan with interest.

"Birth is in the hearts of men." Hu Xuan bowed slightly in return, offering a brief response.

This scene is like the most noble royal family in the Middle Ages clashing with the most elegant noble lady; the surface is calm, but undercurrents are surging.

The clash of Faith was ignited at this moment, and the collision of Divinity had already permeated the Void.

And as the only human being in this clash of Faith...

Cheng Shi was terrified.

What he feared wasn't the tense atmosphere, but simply the words coming out of those two's mouths.

"[Birth] resides in the hearts of men..."

Is this something a normal person would say?

And another one, aren't you afraid of getting beaten up Emissary spreading your Filth and Decay aura in front of the candidate for the [Birth?

Oh, perhaps Afros really isn't afraid, because Hu Xuan definitely can't beat him.

Even though He was imprisoned, it is undeniable that He was a true Emissary, no, two of them!

As for Hu Xuan, she can only be considered half a person!

Furthermore, the place where the three of them were located was not outside the cage, but inside the cage!

This is Afros' home ground.

But for some reason, Cheng Shi didn't seem too flustered. After calming down, he carefully walked behind Hu Xuan and introduced them with a dry laugh:

"Well... we're all friends, don't be impulsive, let's talk things out."

Afros, well, you probably guessed it, this is His Emissary, the Eternal Day.

Hu Xuan... and I won't introduce this one, you should know her better than I do..."

Listening to Cheng Shi's rather pointless introduction, Hu Xuan chuckled and looked intently at Afros, saying:

"Yes, I do know you, my Lord's first child, Golis."

Upon hearing this name, Afros was not surprised. He knew that as a child of [Birth], Hu Xuan would never call out his other name.

But He didn't mind, because it was all Him. Not only did He not mind, He even smiled and said:

"The obsession with Faith is also a kind of desire. If you cannot face my name and identity, it may also be a kind of harm to Him."

Hu Xuan frowned slightly and her smile faded.

But just as she remained silent, Cheng Shi behind her, looked at Afros and said in an annoyed tone:

"She wants to recognize you but doesn't call out your Filth and Decay name. Isn't this a manifestation of suppressing the depravity of her Faith? She is restraining her desires, so her Birth was not harmed, but rather accepted the devout offering."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Xuan turned around and smiled, her charming smile startling Cheng Shi so much that he squatted down on the ground.

Sister, I was trying to help you, and you turn around and try to harm me?

Let's stop using our supernatural powers...

Afros watched this scene with great interest, clicking his tongue in amazement:

"Perfect.

My brother, you are a perfect God Worshipper.

I thought you were the darling of Filth and Decay, but I was wrong. You are the darling of this era.

Nothingness! Nothingness!

Only in this era can you find a Stage where you can shine.

I'm a little jealous of you, my brother. If I could have been born in this era...

How wonderful that would be!

Era!

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened, thinking that he had been longing to see Afros again for the sake of this "era," and today, he could finally resolve his doubts!
