Deception and Destiny's Heart-to-Heart

Let's rewind a moment.

After the civil war in the Nothingness shattered the entire Void, two identical pairs of eyes stared at each other once again in the depths of the Nothingness, neither willing to yield.

As the Dominion of [Nothingness], their emotions clearly influence the state of Nothingness, and thus a miraculous scene unfolds:

In this deep Nothingness, rarely explored by outsiders, one half of the world rejoices, overflowing with a passionate and psychedelic atmosphere, while the other half is a frozen wasteland, with howling Bitter Wind almost freezing the Cosmos.

Hehe~

"Shall we continue?"

[Deception] With his eyes upturned and a smile as usual, he seemed to have not suffered any losses in this civil war.

[Destiny] As Indifference as true Destiny, although He knew He could not do anything to this Twin Gods, sometimes He still had to lose His temper, otherwise He would be driven to his death by the other party.

"It's a pointless and Foolish Deed; continuing to fight is just a waste of time."

But you must understand, this is not because you are invincible, but because I am invincible.

"?" [Deception] blinked, taken aback. "Are you [Destiny] or that Foul Mouth [Folly]? If you're [Destiny], aren't you being assimilated by Him too quickly?"

"..."

No one can gain the upper hand over the God of Merriment in words, and [Destiny] knows this even better, so He no longer emphasizes these points, but instead issues a more Indifference warning:

"You have violated the [Nothingness] Agreement you set for yourself, so the agreement is now invalid."

[Deception] seemed unconcerned about these things, and nodded, saying, "Good, it's ineffective. You can now remove the Faith from your follower."

"?"

[Deception] had barely finished speaking when a chilling gale from the Nothingness gained the upper hand, instantly pushing the dividing line between "ice and fire" right before [Deception's] eyes.

"He is my Believer, the Faith that should be reclaimed is yours, [Deception]!"

"Oh dear, it seems someone has forgotten some facts."

How interesting! I'm supposed to be the enemy of Memory, so how come my Memory is better than some gods who aren't affected by Memory?

Let me think... I remember your follower, or rather, my follower, was apparently an Oathbreaker?

Yes, he is, but whose vow did he break?

This Memory is so distant; I need to recall it carefully.

"..." [Destiny] remained silent, and the Frigid Wind grew even stronger.

His icy gaze swept over the eyes that looked exactly like his own, and he said in a deep voice:

"His oath was also included in the [Nothingness] Agreement you established. Since the agreement is null and void, his oath is naturally invalid."

[Deception] With a quick glint in his eye, he said:

"Alright then, since we both belong to the [Nothingness], I'll let you off this time."

However, Chaos has already acknowledged his allegiance, and the matter is irreversible. Since things have come to this, you might as well abandon your idea of getting closer to Folly and join hands with Chaos to explore the future together.

Chaos conceals the essence, while Destiny reveals the truth. In that sense, you two complement each other. Not bad, not bad at all, quite interesting.

"You still insist that you weren't the one who tampered with things and led him into chaos!"

"Don't slander me. My relationship with [Chaos] is purely cooperative, and there's not a single dirty trick involved."

He is one of the sixteen true gods appointed by the [Origin]. He is True God who has been given Divine Name, ascended to the Divine Throne, and enjoys Divine Authority. No matter how great my abilities are, I cannot control what He thinks, let alone the fact that He is inherently chaotic.

Therefore, whatever choice He makes is none of my business.

As an adult god, you should be responsible for your actions. This is also for you.

Also, don't blame me for whatever choice your Believer made. You heard it yourself, he didn't mention a single word of "Deception."

Oh, by the way, he did mention [Blazing Sun]. Maybe that guy bewitched him?

Prisoners will do anything, no matter how dirty, to escape.

[Destiny] was speechless, choked with emotion. He coldly looked at the Twin Gods before him, and after a moment, suddenly extinguished the Nothingness wind and chill, and sighed softly:

"Existence is harmonious and unified, so why must Nothingness be divided?"

"Huh? Who wants to split up? Is it you who wants to split up with me, my dear sister? How cruel you are."

"..." The stars and spirals in [Destiny]'s eyes froze, and He became indifferent again. "You know what I mean. [*He] gave everything. Getting close to [*He] is not a mistake."

"I used to think so too," [Deception] chuckled self-deprecatingly, then her tone grew increasingly meaningful, "Until..."

"Until what?"

"Until my rebellious phase arrived, hee hee~"

How boring are children who never change? Maybe He prefers me to you?

"..."

[Destiny] gave up. It no longer tried to correct the other's thinking, but it still reminded him, "Even so, [Chaos] is not a good choice for you."

Don't forget that when [Chaos] began, He denied [Order] not for any other reason than to get closer to [*He].

He is different from you; He may not necessarily help you.

"I don't need His help. I'm helping Him now, and I'll help myself too. You don't need to worry about that."

If you're bored, you can write more tragedies. A world full of fun is too far removed from yours; it's normal that you can't understand it.

"... Hopeless. Time will prove me right." [Destiny] said Indifference.

"Ah, yes, yes, you're right, you've always been right. I thought you'd say that time would eventually give you the answer. Turns out, it never gave you an answer. Then why did it give you, the Oathbreaker, the answer?"

[Destiny] frowned. "He will not be a prisoner of [Destiny], he will only be [Destiny's] Predestination."

Upon hearing this, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of [Deception]'s eyes. The sarcasm was so complex that it was difficult to discern whether He was mocking [Destiny], [Time], or... Himself.

[Destiny] was not going to waste any more time. It gave [Deception] one last glance and said:

"Since the [Agreement] is null and void, the Believer of [Destiny] will eventually embark on the path of Faith Fusion, you..."

"Take care of yourself."

After saying that, [Destiny] disappeared, leaving [Deception] laughing heartily on the spot.

"What a pretentious act! In the end, it's just that you can't bear to part with your darling."

Ha, the Oathbreaker of [Destiny], hmm, not bad, not bad at all.

As he spoke, those playful eyes blinked lightly, and the Void that had shattered during the civil war was completely restored in a second. The boundless darkness flowed through the Void once more. He looked into the depths of the Void at the two Believer who wanted to play the Clown and tell some so-called story of "Nothingness," chuckled, and pulled one of them in front of him.

As for the other one...

Ah, the taste of "Memory"—it's upsetting to look at.

So before the two Clown even stepped onto the stage, one was thrown out of the Void, and the other tremblingly arrived before the "audience".

"Praise..." Cheng Shi's opening move was so practiced that he didn't even see clearly whose eyes were in front of him before he uttered the word "praise."

However, [Deception] understood him very well, so just as the Clown was about to look up, He froze him, preventing Clown from seeing who He was seeing at that moment.

"..."

The situation became awkward. Before "He" spoke, Cheng Shi really couldn't be sure who the Lord of Grace in front of him was.

In the past, this situation would most likely have involved God of Merriment, but coincidentally, his actions today seem to have offended another person as well, so...

The Clown panicked, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

"Go on, why aren't you praising me anymore?"

Upon hearing this Yin-Yang voice, the Clown's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down.

Great, there's hope!

It's the God of Merriment!

"Praise be to the great God of Deception! Under your gaze, the world is filled with falsehood, and truth is no more in the Cosmos!"

Cheng Shi's tone was as devout as could be, but as soon as he finished speaking, [Deception] scoffed and said:

"So, was what you just said true or a lie?"

"Yes..."

That's bullshit, just kill me!

The Clown's face fell, and he stood there awkwardly.
