Foolish Game of the Chapter 726: Two Against One — and How Is It Him!!??

Ti froze. For one instant, He was reminded of what it ant for Void to be truly aningless.

He had no ti to waste here. So He slowly widened His eyes, letting the black holes within devour every wave of nothingness, then departed without a word.

But Destiny wasn't about to let Him go. While battling Deceit with one hand, She continued using the Void's power to drag at the departing Existence.

Then — another divine force intervened.

From the chaotic currents of collapsing Void and reality, a turbid yellow fog suddenly poured forth. A colossal hand erged from the fog, severing Destiny's line of sight, flattening the rampaging waves, and tearing the Void apart like a rag.

As the Void shattered, the yellow fog ca surging in from all sides, filling every inch of the space.

Destiny's gaze hardened at the sight.

"Chaos."

The enormous hand within the fog quietly withdrew. From the swirling haze ca a voice deep as bronze bells:

"I... co by agreent."

Before Destiny could respond, Deceit popped back up from His hiding place, grinning rrily:

"Oh, would you look at that! A mont ago it was two-on-one against . Now it's My turn.

When little sister misbehaves, she naturally needs a proper lesson, wouldn't you say?"

With that, Deceit actually stirred up a bizarre wave within the endless fog, painting a grand illusion of the gods before Destiny's eyes.

In this false universe: Life was defeated. Descent was no more. Civilization crumbled. Chaos lost its color. Existence shattered into countless irreparable fragnts. Even the Void wasn't spared — dissolving into the invisible, nonexistent nothing.

It looked like the apocalypse of the gods. Anyone who saw it would be shaken to the core. But Destiny knew Her twin deity far too well. She wasn't affected in the slightest. Instead, She detonated divine power at the exact point in the illusion where Deceit had "fallen" — blasting the fish-in-troubled-waters trickster out from beneath the facade.

"Run! Why'd you stop hiding?"

"...Don't rush. The show's just getting started."

"BOOM— BOOM— BOOM—"

...

While the Void erupted in the greatest battle in recorded history, Cheng Shi was pulled into the Void as well.

The instant the trial ended, his consciousness had plunged into infinite darkness. He could feel he was alive — he just couldn't open his eyes.

Until... a beam of white light pierced the darkness and flooded his vision. He jolted awake. He'd arrived.

This obviously wasn't his rest-area rooftop. As for where he was — that depended on which deity had the free ti to summon him.

Cheng Shi was used to being summoned after trials by now. What he hadn't guessed was who he'd be eting today!

The mont this Void walker opened his eyes, he found himself standing atop a "bottomlessly tall" tower, built entirely of walls of true knowledge. Dangling from the eaves and tile-corners were countless somber wind chis — each made from a pure-white eyeball.

These chis hung like Prosperity's eyes. One glance would breed fear in anyone's heart.

But the most terrifying thing wasn't the pupil-less eyeballs. It was the pair of eyes that opened re inches from Cheng Shi's face — swirling with chaotic white miasma!

Folly!!!

In his wildest dreams, the clown never imagined he'd be granted an audience with Folly after this trial!!

'Why Him!?'

'How could it be Him!?'

The only connection to Folly in this entire trial had been two foolish Tower of Logic exile-scholars. Calling them Folly believers would be an insult to Folly Himself. He couldn't possibly have co for those two, right?

'And I didn't even do anything to them!'

Cheng Shi was panicking. He genuinely feared Folly.

After all, His followers were already the smartest group among all players. And Folly, their Benefactor deity Himself — He'd probably seen through everything long ago.

Which ant all the lies on Cheng Shi's person, and his honey-tongued little tricks for playing gods against each other, were probably useless against Him.

And there was one more critical reason: his other Benefactor, Destiny, apparently intended to fuse with Folly.

Honestly, he still had no idea why Destiny harbored such intentions. In Cheng Shi's eyes, Destiny and Folly had virtually nothing in common.

Now Deceit, on the other hand...

Fusing those two sarcastic deities together would probably be hilarious.

But Cheng Shi didn't dare voice that thought. He currently belonged to the "Fear Faction." anwhile, Destiny leaned toward the "Approach Faction." If She wanted to fuse with Folly, that almost certainly ant Folly was also "Approach Faction." So Cheng Shi's greatest fear right now was that his private thoughts would be read at a glance by this second deity of Chaos — threatening Deceit's plans or his own position.

So Cheng Shi was extrely tense.

He wanted to offer praise to ease the strange atmosphere but feared that any word out of his mouth would let the other "read his mind." So the silence dragged on — those massive white eyes examining Cheng Shi from every angle, inside and out.

Can you imagine the feeling of two sun-sized white eyes staring you down from a few ters away?

Cheng Shi lasted barely a few seconds before his scalp went numb and his legs began to buckle.

'Can't stay silent any longer. Saying nothing screams fear. The more I "fear," the more He'll read into it.'

He didn't know whether this audience was connected to Destiny's fusion push. But surely, for Her sake, Folly wouldn't make things too difficult?

He should know Destiny's intentions?

Cheng Shi harbored not a shred of confidence about underestimating Folly's intelligence. He was only afraid of not overestimating it enough. So after a brief silence, he spoke.

His plan was to at least project a "cooperative" attitude and get through this audience quickly.

Nobody expected what ca next. The mont his mouth opened — it was earth-shattering.

"Do you believe your foolish acts will ever have an answer?"

"!!!???"

The words landed. Cheng Shi's mind went blank. The next second, cold sweat poured down his back like a waterfall.

'NO!!'

'Brother Mouth???'

'You— you— you—'

'I call you Brother and you're trying to get

killed!?'

'How DARE you say sothing like that to Folly's face!?'

'Want a new host, do you!!!'

'Shi Lolin called Him nas behind His back and I'd already call her brave. And now here I am, mocking Folly's foolishness straight to His face. So who's the fool here — Him, or ?'

'Can a sane person actually do sothing like this?'

Now Cheng Shi was truly terrified. If not for that thin thread of trust in Brother Mouth, he'd have lost control of his trembling legs and collapsed right there on the tower's peak.

'Too terrifying. This is genuinely terrifying. This is my first ti committing point-blank blasphemy — and it's PASSIVE blasphemy while being extrely careful!'

'Am I... actually going to die?'
