"..."

Sir, please be frank, I'm just a complete novice, I really don't know anything.

Cheng Shi was numb; all he could do was shake his head.

The enormous skull seemed not to have any intention of getting a real answer from Cheng Shi, and continued:

"He... stripped away a part of his own body and used his redundant Divinity to feed these four offspring."

"!!!"

Cheng Shi was shocked.

Ah?

Isn't this just a strip?

Do your gods also use such a simple method of reproduction?

However... if that's the case, wouldn't that mean that the four offspring of [Prosperity] were originally part of Him?

So what is being assimilated by this "prosperity"?

Did he poop and then eat again?

The enormous skull noticed Cheng Shi's shock and nodded, saying:

"Indeed, they were all once part of the Mother of Prosperity."

However, after they each grew up, they became different from Him.

It is important to understand that before finding the right path, our path is not the only one.

He intended to use this method to create a second self, then a third, a fourth, and thus spread it Cosmos.

But later, He discovered that these offspring were too weak to grow into the form He desired.

Thus, He continually devours the old offspring, strengthens Himself, and multiplies, giving birth to new life and creating possibilities.

It was under this fear that Dizer betrayed Him.

It wasn't until Lele'er, through her foolishness, jumped into the Sea of Desire that the Mother of Prosperity realized that the offspring she had nurtured Cencha quality and could not possibly meet her requirements.

From that moment on, He completely changed His goal, which became the assimilation of the Cosmos into His own prosperity.

!!

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi suddenly realized that the answer to the official's first question might lie in these words.

"So you mean that [Truth] doesn't use Dizer's soul because His soul is related to, or even deeply bound to, [Mother of Prosperity] to some extent?"

But [prosperity] is dead, since...

Etc!

Halfway through his sentence, Cheng Shi had a sudden flash of inspiration and realized something:

"I understand, you mean the fall of [Prosperity] affected Dizer's soul!"

After all, He was once part of [prosperity], so when [prosperity] disappeared, He also... weakened?

And this weakening could very well affect the "Truth" that devoured Him, am I right, sir?

Although Cheng Shi's speculation has not yet been confirmed, he is already certain in his heart that this is probably the answer, because he remembers that Dizer himself once said that both it and Lele'er had problems.

And this problem may be the fatal consequence of the self-destruction of prosperity!

The soul of this Emissary, having no roots or source, began to weaken!

The green flames in the giant skull's eyes blazed for a moment, then it nodded and said:

"That's right, that's how it is. A body that has lost its soul is far less affected than the soul itself."

So, whether it's Dizer or Lele'er, that bitch, they're both almost done for.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat.

Doesn't that mean that the [Gift of Scars] I just received will lose its effect and become scrap metal?

Thinking of this, his face instantly fell. Of course, the expression of "falling down" on a skull becomes an even paler whiter color.

Seeing Cheng Shi's reaction, the giant skull added quietly:

"In the dimension of time as understood by Mortals, they do not decay so rapidly."

Oh? It won't turn into scrap metal, that's good, that's good.

Cheng Shi let out a long sigh of relief, but his expression immediately froze, and he stood there motionless.

Because he suddenly realized that the great man on the Bone Throne wasn't just chatting with him; the other party clearly already knew that he had obtained the [Gift of Scars] and found Dizer's soul, so...

What does He mean?

The New Authority to "Filth and Decay" was confiscated last time, and this time... I Daggers won't be confiscated again?

That won't do!!!

I tricked so many people to get it back, how can you just confiscate it like that!

Even capitalists can't treat people like beasts of burden every day!

Even cattle and horses need to eat feed. This Daggers looks just like feed to me, the kind I love to eat!

Cheng Shi was getting anxious. He really wanted to protest and state his position, but he didn't dare. So he could only mutter under his breath:

"Sir, you... it seems... it's not very convenient for you... to use Daggers?"

"..."

The green flames in the giant skull's eyes paused for a moment, then it snorted coldly and, without even consulting Cheng Shi, dumped everything in his personal space under the Bone Throne.

This scene was so similar that Cheng Shi's momentum collapsed and he gave up again.

Take it, take it. You deserve to work your whole life like cattle and horses. You finally find something good, but before you can even enjoy it, no, before you can even enjoy it, the boss takes it away.

No wonder capitalists are hung on streetlights, they deserve it!

Cheng Shi watched listlessly as the Great One picked and chose, taking out the [Gift of Scars] from the messy and unsightly pile of props. As soon as the Daggers, which was parasitized by Dizer's soul, appeared, it seemed to sense something that terrified it and let out a horrified scream.

"[Die]!

What are you trying to do! You can't treat me like this!

I am Subgod of life! You cannot do this to me!

The trembling roar startled Cheng Shi. He looked up and saw that Dizer, who had transformed into Daggers, instantly reverted to its form of withered branches and fruit. However, under the shroud of the power of [death], all the vines could not spread out and were all imprisoned in a small space, gathered into a shriveled vine ball.

The Great One on the Bone Throne looked at Him Indifference and snorted coldly:

"Dizer, you no longer belong to [life], nor are Subgod."

You are nothing but an unworthy, pitiful, Oathbreaker, and a blasphemer.

[Prosperity] took away Garuda. You, as His offspring, should pay with your life.

Therefore, your only destiny is... death.

As the word "death" fell heavily, the giant skull looked past Dizer and at Cheng Shi. The way the ghostly flames in its eyes flashed wildly startled Cheng Shi.

This person is good in every way, except that he's a bit... too vengeful.

Not only did they enslave Lele'er's Divinity for the sake of a Garuda, they also wanted to kill Dizer.

Anyone who offends Him will truly...

Wait a minute!

In that instant when he met the gaze of that enormous skull, Cheng Shi suddenly had a flash of inspiration. His eyes gleamed, and he cleverly picked up his Ring of Bone Servant Lele'er from the pile of junk, excitedly smacking his chin as he looked at the Great One.

He had something in his mouth and couldn't speak, but his excited expression clearly said:

Work! Work, sir! Let Dizer work for you too!

Let it work for you alongside Lele'er!

At this moment, Cheng Shi, who had sensed the potential benefit, was Cheng Shi excited, but he completely forgot that there was still the remnant soul of the Screaming Count waiting to die inside the ring.
