You Act, I Act
His answer determined the outcome of his audience with the emperor.
Because he already knew that prayers and pleas for help could not be transmitted in this Chaos Yellow Mist. If he answered the question wrong, what awaited him was likely to be a second feast of chaos, or perhaps a second trial of Order.
What exactly it is depends on whether He is conscious.
Not only is Chaos in chaos, Cheng Shi also in a state of chaos. He doesn't know why Chaos, which was fine not long ago, has suddenly become like this, but he knows that if he doesn't answer the other party's question, the boiling and tightening fog around him will suffocate him here.
So he gripped the [Destiny] dice tightly in his hand and gambled with himself again, and with the [Chaos] before him.
The stakes at the opening bet were his own life, and as for his confidence... well, it was his blasphemous power!
This audacious Clown has begun his blasphemous performance again!
"[Order]!"
Cheng Shi's expression changed in an instant. He suppressed his anxiety and fear, staring with hatred at the churning, Chaos Yellow Mist before him, and roared hysterically:
You cannot judge me!
The Cosmos is inherently chaotic, and rules are a joke. Your laughable will is nothing but sugar coating to cover up the chaotic nature of things. Only ignorant and useless parasites would follow you, pitifully begging for food under your melting sugar stains.
My Lord is the essence of the Cosmos, and chaos is the eternal ultimate. As long as my Lord exists, even if you can imprison me with this cage, you cannot imprison the fragmented hearts of your Grand Inquisition, nor can you imprison the chaos that is about to sweep across the entire continent!
Praise be to our Lord, praise be to... the great Chaos!
I was right!
"That's never wrong!"
As he spoke, he even began to frantically scatter his Divinity, discarding the few remaining [Order] Divinity on his body as if they were worthless into the Chaos Yellow Mist beside him.
This insane scene caused the surrounding surging Chaos Yellow Mist to freeze slightly for a moment. The one hidden within it, upon witnessing this scene, seemed to be overcome with emotion and begin to reminisce endlessly.
Sensing the Change in the other person, Cheng Shi's heartstrings tightened instantly. He held his breath and focused his mind, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
He laid his cards on the table.
Not knowing whether the other party would become "Order" or remain "Chaos," he could only consider himself Believer in "Chaos," because his aura of "Chaos" was impossible to conceal, and it was simply impossible for him to pretend to be a supporter of "Order" in the face of battle.
But Chaos is single-mindedly focused on becoming Order. Cheng Shi's actions are almost tantamount to suicide. What courage did he have to confront "Order" and utter such blasphemous words?
Yes... Afros.
No, it should be the history that Afros once mentioned.
Cheng Shi understood that if he wanted to survive today from this god who Order chaotic, the most important thing was to first get involved with both of them. Otherwise, no matter which side he pleased, he would face the possibility of being "judged" by the other side, who was not in a good enough state of mind.
But since Order and chaos are opposites, how could anyone be involved with both at the same time?
Yes, there really is!
[Blazing Sun]!
This former executioner of the Order, after the fall of the era, realized that the Order could not protect Him, turned to the embrace of Chaos, and became the Wrath of Abomination. And in the present era, he was captured by the Order again and imprisoned!
It was this very identity that sparked a flash of inspiration in Cheng Shi's mind, revealing the possibility of exploiting loopholes.
Therefore, all his actions were not simply blasphemous, but rather he was using blasphemous interpretations to play the role of "Blazing Sun," and only this being could truly connect with these two.
Furthermore, since [Order] did not execute [Wrath of Abomination], it means that the worst outcome of this role-playing is imprisonment.
As long as you're alive, there's still hope.
Cheng Shi knew that his only chance was to express his piety at the very beginning of this audience, and then to show his hatred just now. This was very much in line with the change in attitude of [Blazing Sun], and the [Chaos] aura on his body was clear evidence of his Faith.
Furthermore, he imitated the nature of "chaos," casting aside all the Divinity "Order" within him, as if separating himself from his past self, attempting to resonate with "chaos" itself in this way.
As for where this Divinity of "Order" within him came from...
Those were naturally borrowed from the Big Cat.
Thanks to the Big Cat, I'm afraid I can never repay this Divinity.
These are all the means Cheng Shi can use in this predicament. As for whether it will succeed... it depends on whether this person who has confused himself can accept this identity.
This plan was incredibly audacious, and the performance was almost riddled with flaws even in the presence of a True God.
But that's Cheng Shi is betting on: he's betting that the chaos isn't clear-headed, and that the Order isn't yet astute!
He could no longer retreat, so he could only grit his teeth and move forward, making up for the distance he had just retreated, and once again seized the extremely chaotic state of [He], hoping to exploit this opening!
The Chaos Yellow Mist began to boil again, and His Will was indeed extremely chaotic.
After recalling hazy Memory of countless years, He seemed to gradually regain His identity. Looking at this environment that did not belong to "Order" and the person before Him who had betrayed His former piety, a trace of confusion flashed in His eyes, and then He sighed softly:
"Stubborn to the end, it seems your sentence is far from over."
Having said that, He, along with all the Chaos Yellow Mist in the entire space, vanished from Cheng Shi instant, without the slightest pity.
They've left?
They're gone!
You won the bet!
They survived!!
Cheng Shi was suddenly freed from his restraints and felt a sense of relief, but before he could even catch his breath, he found himself falling into the endless Void once again.
As his body fell, his consciousness slowly dissipated, but as long as this was Void, he had nothing to worry about.
I'm home.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.
At that very moment, beneath this Void, a pair of eyes with upturned corners and spiraling pupils quietly opened, looking at Cheng Shi with a playful smile from Cheng Shi depth unseen by him.
Hehe~
Chaos admitted it first; I just didn't refuse, so it can't blame me for it.
But then again, who told you to be lazy? How could Clown fall asleep on stage?
As soon as he finished speaking, a mesmerizing gust of wind swept through the Void, bursting upwards and catching Cheng Shi as he fell.
Before the unconscious Clown realized what was happening, the Void around him began to subtly Change. Before long, the boundless darkness turned into Chaos yellowish-brown once again. Moreover, the gale that had caught Cheng Shi slowly stagnated, mixing with the mesmerizing and boiling colors and gradually solidifying into a magnificent palace.
The Temple of Chaos once again appeared before the world, using its mercy to protect its lost followers.
When the follower awoke, the cold sweat that had just been dried by the Void's gale returned.
"!!??"
Oh no, removing the self-suggestion didn't work, I'm dreaming again!
So was the escape from the tiger's mouth just a dream, or is the current re-entry into the wolf's den a dream?
Or perhaps both? Neither!?
If that's the case, then there's nothing to be afraid of.
But if none of those are true, then... is there any hope for me?
Has He become clear-headed? Has He realized that He has lied to Him?
Will He be a conscious "Order" or a conscious "chaos"?
Cheng Shi's heart suddenly raced. He looked around in panic, his mind racing with frantic prayers:
"The Lies Like Yesterday, yet unattainable!"
Fate is as fleeting as the stars; let us laugh at this day!
"My two Lord of Grace, please save me! Your devout Believer is about to perish!"
