Debate Between Good and Evil

"True God?"

Natsume spoke with unprecedented gravity.

He had indeed guessed that King Zhenruo must be plotting something significant.

He just hadn't expected the other man to be planning to ascend to the rank of a True God!

Wasn't that ambition a little too grand?

"What? Scared?"

"A little, yes."

"Then shouldn't you immediately strike and interrupt me?"

"If I acted now, I'd only be courting death. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, you aren't the real body either, are you?"

Natsume's rationality made this [King's Avatar] smile faintly.

"Looks like not all of Xushi's subordinates are fools..."

"That's right. This is merely an avatar."

"My true body is inside that sphere of light..."

"I stand guard, while he advances to become a [True God]."

Hearing this, amid his shock, Natsume secretly let out a breath of relief.

Although King Zhenruo's avatar had seen through his ability to foresee the future, he apparently had not seen through Natsume's true identity, and still regarded him as a subordinate of Otsutsuki Xushi.

Rather than an infiltrator from another race...

That barely counted as half a piece of good news.

"Why are you telling me all this?"

Natsume continued asking.

"Didn't I say so earlier?"

"The authority of time is the most troublesome. If you can't obtain the information you want,"

"you'll likely keep activating your ability to foresee things over and over again."

"Rather than deal with that repeatedly, I might as well tell you everything you want to know and save us both the trouble."

Natsume asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll leak this information?"

"Knowing doesn't mean you can stop it."

"Unless that old fellow Xushi comes in person, no one else can withstand the edge of [Heavenly Sun Spear]."

King Zhenruo's avatar answered with extreme confidence.

It was absolute trust
