"[Ti]'s deduction is much like [Fate]'s change.
He has been using countless deductions to depict [Existence] as He sees it. But from my observations, beyond His own deductions, He resists all external change.
These changes co not only from [Fate] but also from countless anomalies attempting to break free of the simulation's control.
He wants to ensure that all of [Existence] exists exactly as He wills it!"
Cheng Shi had his reasons for saying this. From Herobos, he'd learned the approximate reason [Ti] had imprisoned Aph Ros. So naturally, these words were designed to resonate.
In a sense, Aph Ros's attempt to desecrate [Existence] was precisely one of those "anomalies."
"But stumbling upon another starry sky clearly exceeded His comprehension.
I must say — the first ti I learned this secret, I was even more shocked than you.
I could hardly imagine another world existing beyond this one, independent yet identical to ours. Of course, sixteen additional gods wasn't impossible to accept. But the truly terrifying question was...
How many of 'Him'... are there?"
"Enough!"
Aph Ros broke out in cold sweat and cut Cheng Shi off imdiately. The conversation had veered far beyond expectations. He'd only ant to trace the origin of the [Corruption] container — never imagining the discussion would lead all the way to Origin.
One [Ti] alone had imprisoned Him for eons. If idle talk here angered Origin...
Aph Ros didn't dare imagine the consequences.
His greatest dream was simply to build a paradise for [Birth] and [Corruption], carrying His devotion and unifying both Benefactors' wills into one.
Beyond that, He didn't care and had no interest.
Compared to other Envoys, you could say Aph Ros's ambition was "strange" — but not grand.
Still, even a small ambition ca with curiosity.
While He didn't dare discuss that being, He was intensely curious about [Ti]'s secrets. So after calming Himself, He looked at Cheng Shi with a complicated expression and asked how he'd discovered all this.
Cheng Shi's answer was watertight:
"I'm just a Servant God. How could I spy on a true god's secrets?
Naturally, my Benefactor told . Rember what I said before?
Get close to your enemy to understand your enemy. My Benefactor helped
approach [Ti], and during the process of stealing Authority, He uncovered the secret [Ti] had found.
You should feel fortunate — no, we should feel fortunate. If any god other than my Benefactor had learned of this, they'd likely have beco [Ti]'s accomplice or a silent co-conspirator. But [Deceit] is different.
He lives in fear that the universe doesn't have enough chaos — that it's not big enough!
So He imdiately inford , telling
that [Void] held leverage over [Ti].
[Ti] doesn't want a second [Existence] in the universe. He wants to guarantee His uniqueness. So while the other gods remain ignorant of that other starry sky, He's silently plotting to destroy that world!
Yes — you heard
right, Aph Ros. [Ti] is a bona fide World Destroyer!
And the reason I'm certain my Benefactor [Deceit] told
the truth and not a lie — is because on the very day you saw
deceiving Herobos, I encountered a Servant God from the other world. [Decay]'s Envoy — Yu Go!
A simulated parallel world wouldn't produce a second Yu Go!
I didn't just see Yu Go — I obtained a [Decay] container from His hands, one from beyond the universe!"
At this point, Cheng Shi casually took back the [Deceit] container from the table — though his gesture was nonchalant, more like idly toying with a symbol of identity.
Aph Ros, bombarded by chaotic information, had completely fallen into Cheng Shi's rhythm. Seizing the mont, Cheng Shi let Him read his desires once more, and the conclusion was:
Not lying.
Truth both ways — Aph Ros no longer doubted His brother's sincerity.
"You killed the other world's Yu Go?" Aph Ros continued in shock.
"No. I didn't kill Him. He gave
the container voluntarily."
"Gave? He abandoned his own Divine Throne — why would he give it to you? And why to a you who, from his perspective, belonged to another world entirely?"
Hearing this question, Cheng Shi knew Aph Ros was thoroughly hooked.
He'd lost the composure to think critically, completely subrged in the lies.
But Cheng Shi didn't press harder. Instead, he deliberately pointed out Aph Ros's lapse, coaxing back His shrewdness to continue building trust.
Though while speaking, he conveniently pushed the [Deceit] container back out again.
"This isn't like you, Aph Ros.
Where's your cunning gone?
I told you — [Ti] wants to destroy that world to ensure [Existence]'s uniqueness. Yu Go sohow learned of this and fled.
He may be cowardly, but He's clever. He knew that by surrendering His Divine Throne, He might survive [Ti]'s blade.
So giving
the container was all upside for Him, no downside. It's
who's stuck holding a hot potato, forced to collect evidence to bring [Ti] down before the other gods.
Aph Ros — in the fight against [Ti], I have never betrayed our friendship."
The mont those words landed, Aph Ros spun on the spot and began shedding clothes.
"..."
Cheng Shi's expression changed in a heartbeat.
'Bad — got carried away with the con. Forgot about that.'
Watching Aph Ros's desire practically drooling, Cheng Shi quietly leaned back, putting distance between them, and said in a strained tone:
"That's enough — I can see your trust. But if you want to hear what else [Ti] has done, rein in your desire.
My Benefactor may tolerate
getting close to [Corruption] for the sake of fighting [Existence], but He won't tolerate
embracing [Corruption].
If you still want to fight [Ti], don't get
thrown into prison too."
Aph Ros had only been expressing His feelings — and showcasing a touch of appreciation. He naturally wouldn't actually make a move. [Fate]'s threat was still fresh in mind, and He didn't want another chain on His ankle.
But hearing that Cheng Shi was still working tirelessly against [Ti] as always, He began convincing Himself.
The [Corruption] container probably had a similar story behind it. In any case, Yu Xi would never slaughter [Corruption]'s Envoy.
Aph Ros stared at Cheng Shi with sparkling eyes for a long ti — until Cheng Shi had to gaze at the ceiling — before reluctantly picking up His clothes and reverting to male form.
Once passion subsided and composure returned, He asked another critical question:
"But I'm still curious — why do you have His container?
Is it also from another world's version of Him?"
Cheng Shi paused, realizing "His container" referred to the [Corruption] container. Knowing Aph Ros still had doubts about its origin, he answered "honestly":
"After Le Le'er died, soone found Her container near the Sea of Desire. I then took it from them."
Aph Ros frowned: "What does this have to do with Le Le'er?"
"?" Cheng Shi was baffled. "How could Le Le'er's container have nothing to do with Le Le'er?"
"Le Le'er's container?
You an you have a [Prosperity] container too?
But I was clearly asking about the [Corruption] container — the one that belonged to Tria."
"???"
Cheng Shi blinked.
Who?
