You... Defeated Order?

What is it?

Those upturned eyes didn't let the Clown, and he asked with a smirk.

Cheng Shi sighed, looking like he was being forced to perform. "It's the truth and the lie, my Lord of Grace, I'm talking about the truth and the lie."

"Truth or Lies?"

I've heard of truth and I've heard of lies, but I don't know what truth and lies really are.

Cheng Shi gathered his thoughts, straightened his back, and said in a serious tone:

The meaning of truth and lies is:

When you question whether the praise I just gave you was a lie, it is the truth.

When you question whether I am telling the truth and try to define me as blaspheming you by the truth, it is a lie.

So whether it's true or false doesn't depend on me, but on you!

After all, you are the one who conflates truth and falsehood in this Cosmos — the Deception. Whether you call the true false or refute the false as true is entirely up to you.

As soon as he finished speaking, the wind in the entire Void softened.

His eyes swirled rhythmically, and even the glittering stars seemed to flicker in sync with that rhythm.

[Deception] He laughed, laughed with satisfaction, laughed heartily.

"Very well, I shouldn't have let Him go. I should have kept Him here to hear what you have to say, so that He would know that there is a reason for all the broken vows."

Cheng Shi felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, and his eyes widened in shock.

Who? [Destiny]?

He blinked dryly, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, and said, "Lord of Grace benefactor is really gone? He's not behind me again, is he?"

As he spoke, he quickly turned his head to take a look.

Nobody's around, that's good.

But his words and appearance made the eyes in front of him seem to be smiling but not smiling, "What, has the Clown become so bold that he dares to drive away his Lord of Grace as soon as he has an audience with him?"

"..." No, this Lord of Grace is not that Lord of Grace, my Lord of Grace!

Why is it so troublesome to keep switching between two Lord of Grace?

Cheng Shi looked embarrassed and quickly shook his head. "It's not you, of course it's not you."

"Oh, I see. Since it's not me, then it must be [Destiny]."

You really don't want to see Him.

"Okay, I've got it. Next time I see Him, I'll bring your annoyance to Him."

"..."

Is it still possible? Is there any chance it will get better?

Does the Clown deserve to be bullied?

The Clown's life isn't a life?!

My Lord of Grace, you keep scaring me like this, you might as well just stab me!

Cheng Shi was numb. He wanted to curse but didn't dare, not even daring to entertain the thought. So, besides suffering in silence, he could only lie down and endure the mockery. Until those eyes saw that the Clown had given up arguing and stopped resisting, and feeling bored, they sighed repeatedly:

"Sure enough, once the Clown loses his passion, he becomes boring."

"Speak quickly, I'm in a hurry."

"?"

What do you mean by "speak quickly, my Lord of Grace"? You're the one who brought me here, I...

Etc!

He's giving himself a chance to ask questions!?

Cheng Shi was taken aback, then his eyes lit up, and he looked up expectantly, asking the first question he was most concerned about: the Faith Fusion.

"Lord of Grace lord, haven't I already merged with [Destiny]? Why am I able to merge with [Chaos] as well?"

"Did you arrange all of this?"

"No, next one."

"..."

Your answer is too brief. It's not something, it wasn't arranged by you?

Hehe, guess whether I believe it or not.

Wait, you don't believe it... Deception... is He being sarcastic?

Cheng Shi was taken aback, as if he understood something. He looked at the eyes in front of him, which were playful at the corners but full of impatience, thought carefully for a moment, and then immediately nodded and asked:

Why is it "chaos"?

"He learned from me how to conceal his true nature. I've been unhappy with him for a long time. Next."

To cover up the truth? Dissatisfied?

No, aren't you on the same side as [chaos]?

You want to hear that backwards too?

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, not having time to think it over carefully, and then asked, "Then... will the [Destiny] within me also Faith Fusion again?"

"You care a lot about [Destiny]?" Those playful eyes suddenly turned cold, and the look in them was mocking.

"Next, next!" Cheng Shi was terrified and hurriedly interrupted [Deception], "Lord of Grace lord, I escaped death at the hands of [Chaos] disguised as [Order], and I almost didn't see you again. Did you know about this?"

"What, are you blaming me for not coming to save you?"

"Um... how about this?" Cheng Shi muttered under his breath, then immediately looked up and shook his head frantically. "Of course not, I wanted to ask, what's wrong with [Chaos]?"

"It's chaotic, isn't that obvious?"

"Can't the Clown ask some decent questions? Next!"

?

What kind of talk is that? If I were skilled, would I be playing the Clown?

I can't make you a Clown?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when the eyes of the person in front of Cheng Shi became playful, and the unpredictable light in their eyes seemed to say, "Why don't you give it a try!"

"..."

I'm scared, I'm scared.

Cheng Shi lowered his head again, pondered for a few seconds, and asked a question he thought was very insightful.

"You're the one who helped [Chaos] trap [Order], aren't you?"

This question caught the eye of [Deception], who finally became interested.

"Interesting. Why do you ask that?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi knew there was indeed a story behind it, and his expression shifted as he immediately explained:

"Because you pushed me into chaos!"

I was summoned by [Chaos]. At first, He was not chaotic, easy to communicate with, and even favored me... Wait, please don't do anything. My Lord of Grace, I have no ulterior motives towards [Nothingness]. I am just accurately describing the situation at the time.

But now He has completely abandoned His own self and is solely focused on playing the role of "Order".

I know that gods can transcend everything in the dimension of time, so I'm not concerned about when He started to play the role of "Order". I'm just wondering, why would a perfectly good god suddenly become like this?

Just because He is "chaos"?

No, I don't think so.

Having traversed that Chaos Divine Steps, I know that the chaos that constitutes Him is far beyond the level that the slightly chaotic thinking of Mortals can reach. Therefore, there must have been some external force that influenced Him, causing Him to make this decision.

Before the Faith Fusion, I couldn't guess who it was, but once the Faith merged...

My Lord of Grace, only when there is profit to be made will someone become the mastermind behind the scenes... a driving force!

So I thought that even if you weren't the 'mastermind,' you must have been an 'accomplice,' because you participated in promoting the Faith Fusion.

But there's another problem: why should I benefit from the chaos?

Of course, He was doing it out of respect for you, even if it was just because of your status as Ultraman. However, such one-sided goodwill and closeness cannot build a solid 'friendship,' so I tend to think that you also contributed to this 'great performance.'

That's why I asked that question earlier. So, you really did put in the effort, right?

You... defeated [Order]?
