Kill a Follower of Time for Entertainment

"So what should I do now, sir?"

Da Yi asked the question again in a muffled voice.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Cheng Shi pondered for a moment and then revealed his plan.

"Hunting [time] with a hunting knife, showing [Destiny] with friendship."

Among the Trials was Believer of [Time], whose identity was not simple, but it didn't matter; since we had encountered him, it was just his bad luck.

To remove the stains from [Destiny] is, in essence, an excuse to please Him.

I've already arranged for them to take action, of course, under different identities.

You don't need to care about those identities; the will of [chaos] will guide those who are lost.

Now that the Gift of Scars has disappeared, and you have nothing better to do, why don't you go and join them?

Bring back the body of the [Time] Believer, preferably... intact.

Jiang Chi...

Da Yi's gaze sharpened, and he bowed his head reverently, solemnly saying, "Da Yi obeys the order."

But he didn't rush to leave. After hesitating for a moment, he asked nervously:

"My lord, if we fail to find the Gift of Scars, will we... still have the chance to meet the supremely venerable Him?"

Oh?

To whom should we pay our respects? [Confusion]?

So you haven't seen Him yet?

That's interesting.

Cheng Shi's eyes darted around slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he smiled and said, "What, you want to try your luck at the [Chaos Divine Steps]?"

Da Yi was taken aback, his expression somewhat surprised. Cheng Shi noticed this slight change in expression and immediately realized that the other party was unaware of the existence of the [Chaos Divine Steps].

Dude, your version is way behind the times.

However, this gives us more room to maneuver.

"To actively ascend to His Temple, one must cross the [Chaos Divine Steps], which is beyond the reach of Mortals body and soul."

Therefore, if you want our Lord to summon you, you must either demonstrate your talents or your loyalty.

I don't think I need to repeat these things every time, do I?

Da Yi's expression changed slightly, and he bowed his head in agreement.

By this Cheng Shi in the film, Cheng Shi had basically confirmed that he was playing Ultraman. This wasn't because he had gleaned anything from Da Yi's few words, but because he had discerned the truth from the other party's unwavering attitude.

[Chaos] Cheng Shi had no idea how many Emissary there were, but the Emissary he was playing according to his own ideas did not receive any questioning or rebuttal from the other party. You should know that this is not playing a mysterious unknown person. Da Yi has obviously communicated with this Emissary.

Even so, the other side didn't notice a single flaw!?

Was my performance so perfect, and my luck so incredible, that it perfectly matched the words and actions of a [Chaos] Emissary I'd never seen before?

That's probably impossible.

Even if one's Lord of Grace is "Destiny," this good fortune shouldn't be this extreme.

Therefore, there is only one explanation: the Emissary himself is Ultraman.

Don't forget, Ultraman, the Emissary, doesn't actually exist. He is an identity fabricated by Deception and manipulation, his existence twisted and concocted. His Memory make his existence plausible, allowing Katarro to take his place when the real Ultraman is absent.

This is also the only logical basis for Cheng Shi's deduction, which is that Katarro is playing him!

He wasn't playing Ultraman, he was playing Cheng Shi!

Only in this way can we explain why Da Yi had no doubts during this exchange, because in his understanding, Ultraman's behavior was exactly like that.

Therefore, the "chaos" saying that it is waiting for a response is not just empty talk. It has even paved all the way for itself.

A response from someone who admitted to being Ultraman.

However, Cheng Shi refused at the time.

But now, I've picked it up again.

"..."

People are just like that, they only know how to cherish something after they've lost it.

Cheng Shi chuckled self-deprecatingly, thinking to himself that if he had to do it all over again... he would still choose to refuse.

Because I must first be Cheng Shi before I can have any other random identity.

A name is something that cannot be changed no matter what.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi suddenly said meaningfully:

"I've always served before the palace and paid no attention to the affairs of Mortals, but since I started playing the role of the Fate Weaver, I've heard some interesting things, such as..."

My name.

"..." Da Yi was stunned. To be honest, he had long accepted the name of this person. He had seen it so often that he had stopped associating it with him. But who knew that one day, the image he was associating with would be brought up by this person himself.

Good heavens, this is so weird.

But is it appropriate to respond to that?

Cannot.

Da Yi's face twitched slightly, and he remained silent.

Seeing this reaction, Cheng Shi felt much more at ease.

"Go ahead, I have some other things to think about."

Hopefully, this time there will be some good news.

Da Yi wasn't sure for a moment whether the good news referred to the matter the adults were pondering or to his own hunting of Jiang Chi, but he had received new instructions nonetheless, so he respectfully acknowledged and withdrew.

After Da Yi left, Cheng Shi knocked on the door of the Afros family again.

From the moment he knocked on the door to when it opened, it was only a second. Seeing Afros's amused expression, Cheng Shi helplessly pursed his lips.

"Does it sound good?"

Afros wasn't embarrassed, nor did he even laugh. He looked at Cheng Shi with suspicion, scrutinizing eyes:

"My brother, are you the Emissary of [Deception] or the Emissary of [Chaos]?"

"?"

Cheng Shi chuckled in astonishment, "You believed that?"

"..."

Despite the embarrassment, Afros nodded. Regardless of whether Cheng Shi's performance was deceiving or not, it once again refreshed His understanding of the New God Divine Authority of "Deception".

"It's not that I want to doubt you, it's your emotions that tell me the lie in this scam isn't as strong as it was when you told me it was Fool's Game."

Rather than admitting you're Fool's Game, you're clearly more comfortable accepting yourself as some kind of "Chaos" Emissary.

So, my brother, you wouldn't be like me... a dual- Emissary, would you?

You guessed right. It's a pity I'm not a Double Emissary, but a Double Emissary.

Of course, this only represents the present moment, because I don't know if I'll turn into some kind of layered monster like a 3rd- Emissary in a few days...

Cheng Shi smiled, looked at the puzzled Afros, and nodded with a chuckle:

"That's right, I'm finally convinced now that your intelligence is indeed a persona you've created for yourself."

I still prefer your shrewdness when you were searching for Miss Moon, but now...

Um, sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Your reaction was undoubtedly a compliment to my deception skills.

I should thank you, Afros.

Thank you for your affirmation.

"..."

Afros's expression finally turned a little unpleasant. He looked Cheng Shi up and down for a long time before slowly regaining his previous confident and composed demeanor.

"My brother, you have given me new inspiration once again."

I'm wondering, if I can get close to Him through you, is it possible that He might help me deceive my two Lord of Grace, and then...

"Trick them into becoming one?"

"..." Now it was Cheng Shi silent.

Bro, stop trying to pull off big things.

He pulled a big stunt in the last era and ended up as a prisoner. Is he already planning his next sentence before he's even released?

However, to be fair, God of Merriment might actually like this kind of thing.

After all, having fun is more important than anything else.

Oh no, I need to stay away from Afros from now on.
