The Fool of the Gods

(April Fools' Day mug! Praise [Fraud], I wish you all will never be fooled! XD)

"To be close to [Order] is even more of a chaos in the eyes of [Chaos]."

I didn't expect that a joke that was made to cover up his identity that day would come true.

It was because the believers of [Chaos] had that made-up name on their heads that they approached [Order] and killed the son of [Order], so the real chaos was born.

Since then, the Grand Inquisition has been trapped in the quagmire of war and cannot extricate itself. [Chaos] began to descend as the war time passed and the faith spread.

So, who am I?

Am I Ultraman from the Land of Hope, or...

The real Cheng Shi?

This question is so big that it can make people collapse.

In order not to go crazy, Cheng Shi decisively chose to skip this topic and return to the trial.

This is not something that a mortal can figure out, at least, not now.

He quickly sorted out his thoughts and expressions, not letting Gao Yu see any flaws and associate them with any inferences about himself, and then cleverly changed the topic.

Gao Yu seemed to be a little reluctant, but after Cheng Shi stopped talking, he seemed a little childish if he continued to talk on his own.

So he opened and closed his mouth a few times, and finally held it back this time.

The group had been walking in the valley for four or five hours. At this time, the rain had begun to accumulate under their feet, and the water in the low-lying areas had even submerged their feet.

The road was getting harder and harder to walk.

But fortunately, the destination was right in front of them.

Zhao Qian looked up at the high mountain in front of him and said solemnly:

"Miss Tao, please."

Tao Yi hummed lightly and began to cast a spell on the vines extending from the mountain wall.

With the call of her smart fingers, the vines hanging on the mountain wall began to grow wildly, just like the ink rhyme gradually dyed on the white rice paper, but in just a few breaths, the vines covered the entire cliff.

This obviously meant that everyone had to climb the rocks by stepping on the vines.

Time was running out, so they decided not to take a detour to climb the mountain.

Just turn right here and go up.

Cheng Shi looked at the nearly 90-degree cliff and sucked his teeth.

Gao Yu heard the noise and muttered in a low voice:

"Do you need help?"

An adult was asked by a child who was not yet 18 years old if he wanted help.

If he had any sense of shame, he would always refuse politely at this time, pretending to be strong and showing his adult strength appropriately.

But Cheng Shi didn't have it.

What is shame?

I only have the heart to give up.

"Yes."

His answer was firm.

Gao Yu showed an expression of "I knew it", nodded mechanically, and took out his tool bag from his clothes.

He took out a palm-sized piece of silver-white metal material and a small hammer, placed the material in the air, and then hit it with the hammer.

Soon after, Cheng Shi chanted "Forty, Forty, Forty", and made a brand new back chair with a dark face.

A chair that can be carried on someone's back, and then let someone sit on it and be carried up the cliff!

Cheng Shi was not interested in chairs, but was very interested in mechanical engineering techniques.

Obviously, the small hammer in Gao Yu's hand was a very powerful magic prop.

The kid didn't even bother to shape it, just knocked it a few times casually, and the chair was made according to his idea in his mind.

This level of shaping is much better than 3D printing.

"You... want to carry me?"

"..."

Gao Yu turned his head to look at Cheng Shi, showing an expression of "You are more shameless than I thought", and gritted his teeth and said:

"I am a magician!"

Cheng Shi took off the chair with a smile and looked at the front row.

Damn old man...

Forget it, I'm going to cough my lungs out.

Zhao Qian...

People have already climbed up, we can't let them come down again.

Su Yida...

This bastard had seen through my thoughts long ago, and turned around and put his hands on the cliff, obviously not wanting to do hard labor.

In this case, there is only one pink-haired girl left...

Uh...

Children are tools, and women are hard labor?

If this is the result, then I, a man who stands tall and upright, will become a useless person?

"Do you need help?"

Tao Yi seemed to have expected Cheng Shi to need help. She turned her head and looked at the back chair in Cheng Shi's hand.

Cheng Shi paused, then mustered up his masculinity and said loudly:

"Yes!"

Then he smiled flatteringly and approached Tao Yi, asking in a mean way:

"Is it convenient?"

Tao Yi smiled like a little fox, and her eyes narrowed into a line.

"It's convenient, I have them."

After saying that, sheWith a wave of his hand, he led the vines on the cliff down, put on the chair, and put it next to him.

Cheng Shi was extremely moved and rushed to sit on it.

Oh my god, this human elevator smells so good.

Gao Yu followed behind speechlessly.

There seemed to be some power-assisting device on his legs, allowing him to walk on the cliff as if walking on flat ground.

The group climbed to the mountainside of the stone mountain in an ordinary way, cracked several layers of stone slabs with local materials, and built a temporary rain shelter.

"The stone here is really hard, and it is convenient to go up and down. It's a good place."

Su Yida touched the rocks on the mountain with emotion, and was very sure of Zhao Qian's judgment.

Zhao Qian smiled casually, stood on the edge of the cliff, and looked into the distance.

"Don't be blindly optimistic. We don't know whether the theme of this trial is rain or not. We can only take it one step at a time."

"Ahem... don't be pessimistic, ahem... young people, be more positive, and deal with it as it comes."

"Good! Well said!"

Since no one has put in much effort, Cheng Shi has no place to use his skills, so he can only act as a spiritual encourager and give everyone some spiritual encouragement.

Su Yida glanced at Cheng Shi, shook his head and laughed.

This... priest of [Birth]? Alas, I hope he can be more reliable.

Cheng Shi saw Su Yida's expression from the corner of his eye, and he smiled brightly, just as a response.

Time began to fast forward, and the rain was getting heavier.

The initial bead curtain rain curtain has gradually developed into a downpour.

No, perhaps a downpour can no longer describe the current heavy rain. It is just like draining the water from a river and pouring it down on the head.

The amount of water is so large that the person who hit him can hardly lift his arm.

The water rushed down, and even the shoulders and neck began to suffer pressure and became heavy.

Seeing this scene, no one could chat calmly anymore.

"The water is rising. It will flood here in less than an hour. Let's get ready."

Zhao Qian pulled a vine in his hand and quickly wrapped it around. It seemed that he was doing something.

Everyone's voices could no longer be heard clearly. The stone slabs that sheltered from the rain were also shaking due to the heavy pressure. Su Yida put his hand under his nose and barely opened his mouth to say:

"It's just over the foot of the mountain. How can it be so fast?"

"You have to consider that the rain is still increasing. It will only be faster than this, not slower than this! Miss Tao, Gao Yu, help."

"Okay!"

Tao Yi stood under the stone slab and cast a spell on the cliff again, allowing these vines to climb up by themselves and become raw materials for making tools.

Gao Yu kept swinging the hammer in his hand to hammer the vines and shape them into hollow and tight "logs".

But this efficiency is far less than that of hammering those special metals.

Zhao Qian was responsible for tying the logs tightly and then assembling them into a raft.

In the flood disaster visible to the naked eye, the simplest and easiest way is to build a raft that can go with the flow.

As for why not let the little brother of the factory directly make a submarine...

Cheng Shi has thought about it, but the little brother has too few materials in his bag, and he can't even knock out a single-person version.

"Alas, He has already calculated everything. The trick of sealing the space is really amazing."

"How many more?"

"Three more!"

Just when the raft was about to be assembled, Su Yida ran back from the cliff with a serious face.

"Quick, everyone get ready! It's too late!"

Everyone looked up in shock, but saw that outside the mountains, a continuous white line had lit up at the intersection of heaven and earth at some point.

The white line kept getting thicker, and soon all the players could see its original appearance.

That was not a white line at all, it was a jaw-dropping wave.

The height of the wave was so high that it almost broke one's neck!

Damn, what a joke!

With such a big wave, what's the use of a raft?

With this amount of water, it's even a question whether the stone mountain is still there!

"Tao Yi, continue! Gao Yu, weave a rattan basket! Grandpa Cui, reinforce the rattan basket!"

Zhao Qian reacted quickly and began to change his strategy, trying to turn the raft into a float that could take people up.

In such a situation, sinking to the bottom of the water must be a foreseeable result, so the only way to remedy it as soon as possible is to think about how to float up quickly.

"Su Yida, if we fail, will we have a chance to try again?"

Zhao Qian looked at Su Yida with a serious expression, looking forward to his reply.

Su Yida's eyes darkened, and he said seriously: "I'll try my best."

He didn't say anything final, but it was a positive response.

This shows that he can indeed recall his memory.

Knowing this is enough, Zhao Qian's face looked a little better., he turned to look at Cheng Shi again.

"Nurse, underwater breath holding and treatment are up to you. Don't worry about the 'newborn', we will take care of it."

The priest has a skill called water healing, which allows people to get enough breathing underwater and relieve pain. This is a basic skill, and Cheng Shi naturally has it.

He nodded to show that he can be relied on, but then frowned.

The trial lasts for three days in total.

If there is such a big momentum on the first day, it is hard for Cheng Shi to imagine how to spend the next three days.

Is it possible to rely on surfing to get by?

This is not surfing the Internet, it can't kill time.

"It's coming! Everyone, get in the basket! Quick!"

As soon as the voice fell, it was dark.

The rumbling hum even covered the thunder in the sky for a time!

Cheng Shi stepped into the rattan basket fixed on the raft without hesitation, and watched Cui Dingtian cough while absorbing the decayed air of the vines to make the raft more solid, and took a breath nervously.

In this situation, he couldn't help but be nervous.

The huge wave beyond imagination was right in front of him at this time. It was like a huge wall built from the ground to the starry sky. The oppressive feeling coming over him was simply despairing.

"Nanny, treat!"

In Zhao Qian's last roar...

"Boom--" sound.

The wave head fell down, destroying the world.

Everyone felt a weight like the sky falling on them, and everyone was pressed to spit out blood.

But this little blood soon disappeared.

Because after a dizzy moment, the so-called mountain peaks had turned into rocky reefs pulled up from the seabed.

Everything in sight sank into the sea.
