The Fool of the Gods

"You are not the Avros I know!

Who are you?"

After discovering that the other party could not cross this threshold and could not cause harm to him, Cheng Shi's voice was obviously much tougher.

He looked at the perfect face and thought to himself:

This [Gate of Desire] looks like a follower of [Filth], so, is He the messenger of [Filth]?

Cheng Shi did not dare to confirm, because in his imagination, the image of the messenger of [Filth] should not be so... gentle.

Yes, gentle.

Avros's means were too gentle. Even though she had been pulling his emotions, she did not exert any other influence on him, nor did she show her [Filth] power.

Cheng Shi had seen the horror of [Filth]'s talent, and he did not believe that as a being who could summon himself here, there were no other means.

Of course, it is very likely that this invisible threshold restricted her. Cheng Shi did not understand the function of this "door", so he could only treat it with the highest vigilance.

So after he finished pretending, he quickly retreated to the air wall. Even though the distance between them was only one step, this step was the most reassuring buffer distance in Cheng Shi's eyes.

Avros did not move, just watching Cheng Shi take a step back, as if he was very disgusted with himself.

She shook her head and smiled bitterly, and asked pitifully: "Am I not beautiful?"

Cheng Shi was very honest: "Beautiful, very beautiful, but my mother told me that the more beautiful a woman is, the more terrifying she is."

Avros nodded thoughtfully, turned around again, and turned himself back to a man. He stared at Cheng Shi's eyes and asked again with a sweet smile:

"Now?"

"......" Cheng Shi's mouth twitched, "She also said that men are the same."

Avros couldn't help laughing: "You have a good mother."

"......"

Cheng Shi always felt that this was scolding him, and he wanted to say "You too", but then he thought that this seemed to be praising the other party, so he had to give up in disappointment.

Avros didn't know what Cheng was really thinking, he only knew that his "recruitment" had failed.

"Unfortunately, my brother, we didn't end up on the same path.

I naively thought you were really a follower of Him, but I didn't expect that you actually lied to me.

So, whose believer are you?

Let me guess...

Well, you are very observant and good at constructing logic, so you are not a follower of [Truth], right?

That rigid scholar has been walking on the path of pursuing to become [Him] all his life, which is not fun at all, and he is not very like you.

I think about it again. Although [Civilization] is full of filth, it is still lawful because of the existence of the noble [Order]. , then you don't look like a practitioner of [Civilization].

If [Life] is not considered, [Degradation] is impossible, and [Chaos]... are all fools, unlike you.

So, oh~

I understand, you are a practitioner of [Existence]?

Are you helping your benefactor to sort out [Memory]?

Well, you frowned, it seems not.

Could it be...

You are a person of [Time]? "

When he said the last sentence, Avros's tone suddenly turned cold, his face became gloomy, as if reciting the name of the god of [Time] was a boring thing for him.

Of course, this emotion was not seen by Cheng Shi, but was felt by the other party's emotional contagion method.

But Cheng Shi always felt that there was something wrong with the other party's words, so he frowned even tighter.

It was at this time that Avros caught the change in Cheng Shi's expression again. He was stunned, and then laughed as if he had suddenly realized something.

But that laughter was more like self-mockery than the joy of having figured something out, self-mockery of knowing nothing about himself!

"It turns out that another era has passed, and [Existence] has become a thing of the past, right?

My good brother, I am so curious, why don't you tell me, in the era after [Existence], who stood on the top of the gods?

You...

are believers of the new god, right?"

! ! ! ! !

New God!

What new god! ?

Cheng Shi was stunned, stunned from the inside out!

His brain was blank and buzzing. Ever since he heard "[Existence] has become a thing of the past", the roar in his head has never stopped.

Why, why didn't Avros know the existence of [Nothingness]?

She even called the two gods of [Nothingness] "New God"!

So, is she really "He"?

A [Fallen] who was... probably imprisoned by [Time] before the advent of [Nothingness]?】Commander! ?

Cheng Shi's eyes were full of confusion. He looked at Avros with a complicated expression and asked:

"【Gate of Desire】, is that your divine name, right?"

Avros's expression was even more complicated. He didn't know whether he was lamenting that he had been trapped for too long and couldn't keep up with the times, or that the name that had been mentioned for countless years was mentioned again. In short, his eyes were full of sighs and sighs.

"I said, you are good at everything, but you are too smart, my brother."

Smart?

But the Tuladin I know most admires choosing wisdom from faith, humanity and wisdom!

What, have you forgotten?

Cheng Shi didn't say anything, but his eyes said everything.

His equally emotional expression undoubtedly asked Avros a question, asking him why you have become like this.

But Avros did not respond this time, instead he said self-deprecatingly:

"I thought He remembered me, forgave me, and asked you to save me.

But I didn't expect that all this was just an insignificant sight when the new god patrolled the universe.

Oh, He has never been merciful, and they have never been merciful.

God, since you have already sat on the throne, why do you want to imprison yourself in another set of rules?

Even He, even the [Depravity] who gave me birth, never embraced his own desires. If so, how can he let the world sink into the [Sea of ​​Desire]?

Oh, everything is a delusion.

It's really... boring."

After saying this, Avros turned around and left, no longer interested in Cheng Shi outside the door.

His lonely mood was so intense and terrifying that Cheng Shi was also infected by the splashing emotional droplets. He instantly fell into despair, knelt on the ground, and wailed to the sky.

But he never gave up observing. In every opportunity to control his emotions, he would stab himself with a scalpel, and then frantically pull with his emotions, snatch the control of consciousness, and look at the mysterious evil baby court with all his strength, watching Avros leave.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, Cheng Shi always feels that he saw a piece of black and squirming flesh in the shadow deep in the hall.

But the next time he looked up, the traces of flesh and blood and Avros’s figure disappeared.

As everything in front of him gradually faded, Cheng Shi’s emotions that made him collapse slowly dissipated. He gritted his teeth and stood up. He wanted to ask inside "What happened" before he left here, but before he opened his mouth, he found that the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and the whole person returned to the roof of the rest area.

He stood on the rooftop with blood all over his legs, confused and scared, frowning and looking forward, motionless.

Era...

Avros mentioned "era".

You should know that although the word "era" is very common in the mouths of players, it does not represent a period that belongs exclusively to [them]. They generally call this period an [era], because each era corresponds to the peak period of rule of several of [them].

So, is the era mentioned by Avros the era understood by players?

But the problem is that there seems to have never been an [era of existence] in the Island of Hope! !

Then what does this era refer to?

Cheng Shi frowned and fell into deep thought. He felt that he seemed to know something incredible again.
