I...May I Come In?

(D!)

Having made up his mind, the [Silent] Hunter felt no more apprehension, only excitement at what awaited him inside the door.

He longed to see God so much, especially after learning that Chosen of God were beginning to visit Him; his desire to see Him became even more urgent.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to cooperate with Gongyang Jiao to help them hunt a Chosen of God.

It's important to know that even though Poison isn't known for her combat prowess, she's still a Top Rank player. Not only is she difficult to deal with, but deliberately targeting her could also attract the unfriendly attention of her Lord of Grace, [Filth and Decay].

The Chameleon was completely unafraid; he even anticipated the unfriendly gaze from [Filth and Decay]!

Yes, this "silent" Believer's desire to see God has become so intense that he doesn't care whether the God's gaze is good or bad, as long as it's there, that's enough!

However, hidden by his silence, he was not well understood by outsiders. But today, when Cheng Shi saw through his heart, his uncontrollable desires completely... erupted.

He expected a huge surprise inside the door, but he also told himself that it was very likely a trick by the other party. After all, a Hunter knows best how to use bait to lure prey, and coincidentally, the other party had killed his partner, so this could very well be a trap.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, he'd still give it a try. He'd accept it even if it was a trap; the worst outcome would be losing his life.

Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows; how could a seasoned Hunter not have a second life?

So the Chameleon gritted his teeth and went inside. The moment his vision returned from the boundless darkness, he saw two people standing in front of a magnificent, old-fashioned building...

No, it should be said that one god and one man!

The handsome, even flawless-looking man standing inside the door could not possibly be Mortals. The aura of Filth and Decay emanating from him was so intense it was suffocating, and just one glance stirred up endless desire in one's heart.

Such a being must at least be a Subgod!

And now, this Subgod before are standing side by side, one inside and one outside the door, watching him with great interest!

The Chameleon's brain went blank for a moment.

He suddenly realized that his desire had come true, even if it was just a Subgod before him. But who said that Subgod was not "He"?

He never cared which Faith of "He" summoned him; he only wanted to see one "He," one who was completely different from Mortals and represented the true meaning of the Cosmos!

Yes, Chameleon believes that all gods represent the essence of this world and the origin of all things in the universe, because he himself is a member of Worship God Society who worships "them" with unparalleled fanaticism!

When Cheng Shi saw the Chameleon's eyes burning with an undisguised madness, he suddenly realized the problem. He finally understood why this Believer of "Silence" would cooperate with Gongyang Jiao for such an absurd excuse.

So he's a madman from the Worship God Society.

They have resorted to any means necessary to worship God.

However, given his status as the sixth on the "Silent" list, he must hold a fairly high position within the Worship God Society, right?

The Chameleon was momentarily excited and its soul trembled. It stood there, its mouth moving but no words being spoken. Afros glanced at it curiously, then looked at Cheng Shi, and smiled:

"This is the interesting player you were talking about? A mute who can't speak?"

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "You know he's Believer of His, yet you still dare to say that, Afros. I detect a hint of blasphemy in your tone."

Afros shrugged and said, "Even if He were here, He couldn't escape the title of 'mute.' That's what they all call Him. I'm just following the crowd."

"?" Cheng Shi became interested. After he learned in advance that Afros was indeed unaffected by [Time], he told him that there might be some fun things to come. Now, seeing that Afros did not respect [Silence], he was even more amused. "It seems that He also knows how to be patient."

"Patience? Perhaps, but I prefer the idea of observing from the sidelines."

[Silence] is a boring spectator. It never expresses itself or comments. It simply observes everything in the Cosmos silently, not knowing what it is thinking. Nothing can arouse its interest, but nothing can bore it either.

He is like a stone immersed in his own world, never changing.

I do not endorse His Will, but I enjoy observing His followers, as it was one of the few pleasures of my time as the Emissary Filth and Decay.

His followers want to show him devotion, yet they are unwilling to give up their desire to express themselves. In the constant tug-of-war between Faith and humanity, many delightful sparks always emerge.

Oh, by the way, I guess your Lord of Grace would also like these things.

"..."

Believe it or not, the God of Merriment might have been observing these people all along. In fact, He might not have been observing the "Silent" Believer, but the "Silent" God Himself!

What could be more fun than provoking a "stone"?

Tsk, hard to judge.

The conversation was lively on one side, and the listeners were eager to hear it on the other.

Despite the two people in front of him making unrestrained accusations against their Lord of Grace, Chameleon felt no offense whatsoever. In fact, if it weren't for the slight piety still tugging at his heart, he would have loved to join in the conversation between the Emissary and become a sycophantic, self-deprecating straight man to his Lord of Grace.

Yes, he was now certain that his mysterious teammate was also an Emissary, and he even gleaned from snippets of conversation that the other party was very likely a... [Deception] Emissary!

After all, among the deities that can be associated with the word "pleasure," Deception would undoubtedly be ranked number one by a wide margin.

So the teammate who killed his two teammates was actually a [Nothingness] Subgod!?

What does this mean?!

It should be noted that, to the best of his knowledge and understanding, since the advent of the [Faith Game], no one has yet been able to gather any information about any [Nothingness] from Subgod!

Today, he seemed to have witnessed firsthand the existence of a [Nothingness] from Subgod!

Seeing the bright smile on Cheng Shi's face, Chameleon clenched his fist tightly.

Is this a smile that's brimming with Deception?

He played the role of an ordinary player to deceive everyone, and then used a game of desire to bring himself to the presence of another [Filth and Decay] Emissary.

Mystery, power, truth, origin... For a deity, everything today is worthy of being recorded in history. But to the Chameleon, he doesn't care about being recorded in history; what he cares about is how to obtain what they have...

Approved!

It should be understood that the most fundamental desire of the fanatics in the Worship God Society has never been simply to worship God, but to gain His approval and become one of His people!

In other words, the ultimate goal of the vast majority of members of the Worship God Society is simply to become an Emissary the gods like the two people in front of them. Of course, if there are lower-ranking positions below Emissary that are as noble as theirs, they would gladly accept them.

The worship of gods is ultimately inseparable from the word "god".

He really wanted to break the silence and express his excitement and awe, but his remaining rationality told him that now was not the best time.

Before demonstrating self-worth and gaining the appreciation of others, any act of belittling oneself or blaspheming the Lord of Grace is merely Foolish Deed lowers one's own image. Before the Age of Silence, the Age of Folly prevailed. His followers did not inherit the arrogance of Folly, but they absorbed the wisdom of the previous age of Faith. They knew very well how to seize opportunities.

And he knew even better who had given him this opportunity to seize it.

Thinking this, the Chameleon stared intently at Cheng Shi, its eyes filled with a burning madness.

Seeing that the little mute boy's fervor had shifted, Afros laughed:

"So, brother, did you bring him to see me because you have some interesting story to tell me?"

I didn't see anything interesting in him. Where exactly is the fun you're talking about?

"..."

Cheng Shi smiled, thinking to himself that it had finally arrived. Afros's curiosity was the first step in the plan, and it was best if this step happened before the second player broke in.

Of course, Cheng Shi wasn't sure if anyone would follow, but he could cover all possibilities with a joke.

He touched his nose and then laughed:

"He's not the real fun yet; the real fun is yet to come."

I have encountered the Chosen of God of your Lord of Grace God. You should know what "Chosen of God" means. It's a term Mortals use for amusement, but undeniably, "Filth and Decay" has shown her some favor.

The door was not closed, and she was outside the door.

Imagine a player who succumbs to their desires, yet resists their inner urges and doesn't follow along...

Isn't this fun?

As soon as she finished speaking, a head with short, dark hair that was gradually turning bluish-black peeked out from the dark doorway. She looked at the three people inside and blinked, saying:

"May I come inside?"
