"Foolish Play? You're...!?"
Ai Si's eyes suddenly widened, while Cheng Shi gave a mocking snort and nodded:
"Just as you thought.
Let me introduce myself. I'm Deception's emissary, a lesser god of Nothingness walking through the mortal world. The reason you can see me here is because my ear fell here. I came to find it this time."
Cheng Shi spoke as casually as the wind, but Ai Si listened with her heart in her throat.
That Cheng fellow actually claimed to be an emissary?
No, no, whether he was even a Cheng fellow was another matter. But an emissary of Deception... did Deception have an emissary?
Why had she never heard of one?
Ai Si frowned. A 2,400-point Battle Marshal was no ignorant novice. Since the game descended, she had never heard of a lesser god within Nothingness.
Moreover, considering that the other party, regardless of his exact identity, was still a Follower of Deception, she cautiously chose to wait and see.
But there was no denying that the appearance of a god was enormously attractive to players in this bracket. Even peak players had yet to gain the chance to meet the gods, so someone at 2,400 points below the peak had even less hope. Thus, an emissary became the only extravagant hope some players had of approaching the gods.
Whether in the Adventist Faction or the Worship God Society, there were quite a few highly practical players in the middle and upper brackets. Knowing they had no hope of meeting the gods, they kept participating in trials in search of the true gods' emissaries, hoping to gain their recognition.
Ai Si was not one of them, but if she could truly establish a connection with an emissary in this game, she would naturally be more than willing.
