As if it were alive, the mask slowly tore open a small but deep crack at its upper edge, and from this dark hole, one after another, palm-sized and identical cones of light emitted a soft glow.

They seemed like messengers from another world, quietly piled on the table, waiting to be further explored by Bai Yan.

The same face was imprinted on those cones of light: a fire demon in a suit, his ram-horned skull-like head burning in the flames within the cones of light.

Grand Duke of the Netherfire, Afrit, a member of the Annihilation Gang of the [Destruction] faction, the master of the Eternal Fire Mansion, and the supreme leader of the Fire Demon race of energy lifeforms.

In other words, as Aha mentioned, he is an "actor" who uses his own life to play an absurd and grotesque role.

Aha's mask manipulated a cone of light, making it float in the air, and he exclaimed, "A cone of light, the most powerful leaflet under the [Memory] power system. No one will doubt its authenticity. It took quite a bit of effort to get such a large pile of leaflets. This thing is great, don't you think?"

"So you prepared a bunch of identical light cones as flyers, ready to share them with the whole world?"

"No, I have already shared it with the whole world."

As if a pair of hands were manipulating the cone of light, Aha's mask continued, "And we don't need many leaflets. As long as the authorities confirm the authenticity of this information, it will be difficult for others to have any doubts. Besides, I didn't spread any rumors this time."

Bai Yan picked up a light cone, but instead of examining the memories within, he directly asked Aha, "What's inside?"

"Simply put, Affleck declared war on [life]."

Aha not only answered Baiyan's question, but also smiled and exclaimed, "What loyal servants! For their lord, they are willing to raise a sword against the gods. Before heading to Pinocchio for the meeting, they will offer a tribute to the filled chocolates!"

"So you mean he's targeting my children?"

Aha immediately replied, “He has his eye on Beloborg. That is the [Life] Star God, my friend, the place where you have recently visited.”

"Not many people know that it was my relationship with Belloberg, and none of them are the kind of people who would spread this news."

Bai Yan put down his coffee cup, looking meaningfully at the mask before him: "But there are some beings who are not 'human,' whom Fu Li will not easily reveal, and you..."

"I'm sorry, my friend. I wasn't the one who fueled this from behind."

The smile that always graced Ah's mask seemed to have softened slightly, carrying a genuine sense of compassion, as if he had deeply grasped the truth of some emotion:

"In fact, it is another fool hiding behind the mask who is behind this. He uses the light cone as a medium to broadcast to the entire universe that Belloberg is where you have come to be, in order to attract everyone's attention and expand the audience of this absurd play to the entire universe."

Looking at the pity on Aha's face, Bai Yan realized that this was not a story, but a joke.

Bai Yan displayed immense patience, listening carefully to Aha's words, and through this communication, pinpointed Aha's precise location billions of light-years away.

Aha continued, "Furthermore, the person hidden behind the mask, after completing the declaration program, chose a path of no return, paying the price with his own life for his courage and folly in challenging the gods."

Bai Yan completely locked onto Aha's life coordinates and nodded: "Okay, you can continue."

Aha didn't hold back and prepared to finish the story: "In this way, he walked towards death, while also ensuring that the tricked gods could not find a specific person responsible, making accountability an unsolvable mystery."

This masked fool, who was willing to pay the price with his own life to uphold his beliefs, came to life in Ahab's mouth, as if his actions were not just a personal choice, but some kind of deeper destiny or decision.

The story told by the so-called "Joyful Star God" has come to an end.

Bai Yan gave it a simple evaluation: "Well written."

Aha's mask revealed an even more regretful expression: "My friend, this is so heartbreaking. You didn't even believe me."

Are you really sad? Do you even believe the words you're saying?

"you guess."

Bai Yan smiled and said, "I bet you're about to get a beating. There's no doubt you won't have a chance to go to Kripper and give your backside some [protection] blessing."

The next second, Bai Yan vanished. Only the mask and the black tower remained.

In the universe billions of light-years away, Bai Yan's voice once again entered Aha's consciousness: "So... besides the scars on your butt, what other price are you prepared to pay for toying with me?"

Chapter 143 The Masked Fool's Tavern, but the Masked Fool forbids entry.

This is a mysterious tavern.

It is located in a seemingly isolated place. The tavern's exterior is strange and exotic, as if it were transplanted from another time and space.

The rough stone walls are covered with mocking lines, the marks of time etched upon them. A half-open door creaks softly, as if telling countless stories of the past.

Stepping into the tavern, one is immediately drawn in by its unique atmosphere.

In the dim light, a group of people wearing various masks sat or stood, and some revealed their true faces among them. They were called the "masked fools" and were believers in [pleasure].

The tavern's interior is uniquely decorated, with various paintings and masks hanging on the walls, each piece exuding a bizarre yet humorous aesthetic.

Here, laughter, singing, and the sounds of various musical instruments intertwine, creating an atmosphere that is both relaxing and mysterious.

On the long wooden table were various strange drinks and snacks, and people sat around them, sharing all sorts of bizarre stories and theories.

Everyone here spends their entire life searching for happiness in their own way, whether through intellectual games, witty jokes, coincidences caused by misunderstandings, or metaphors in songs.

"Click——"

As a gentle spring breeze blew, the tavern door opened softly, and a mysterious humanoid figure walked in.

The arrival of this stranger did not immediately attract the attention of everyone present; most of the masked fools remained immersed in their own amusement.

However, this stranger exuded an inexplicable sense of warmth and the air of age.

Even the most skilled Masked Fool, currently the most experienced tavern member, could not see through the other's presence.

A masked fool, a man of great power, swirled the wine in his glass and murmured, "Commander... no..."

Then the man slowly walked into the center of the tavern, looked around, and his gaze lingered on every smiling or thoughtful face.

He clapped his hands lightly, trying to attract everyone's attention.

Gradually, the noisy atmosphere began to calm down, and all eyes were focused on him.

A clear and gentle voice came from his mouth: "My name is Bai Yan. Many of you were involved in the previous rumor farce. Unless you bunch of itchy-butt guys all have the memory of fish, you won't forget this name so quickly."

The masked fools present exchanged glances, some with joy, some with doubt... but most were just watching the spectacle.

"I'm here to announce something."

His voice was both calm and powerful, enough for everyone in the room to hear every word clearly.

"This tavern, and everything here, now belongs to me."

For a moment, the tavern fell into shock and silence. People exchanged glances again, but this time their eyes were filled with more doubt.

The tavern holds a very special place in the hearts of the Masked Fools, and now the other party wants to take it over.

He continued, “Just now, I kicked the god you worship and handed the tavern to me. Therefore, I have every right to decide the future of this place.”

He thoughtfully added, “Although most of you participated in that farce, you are unaware of the secrets behind it. The collision of [life] and [destruction] spread throughout the world, but few noticed the contact between [life] and [pleasure]. Do you, my intelligent friends, understand now?”

Although the Masked Fools call themselves fools, they are rarely truly fools. They know very well that the "life," "destruction," and "pleasure" mentioned by the other party are not destiny, but three gods.

They might suspect the other person is playing a joke on them, but most people won't choose to expose the joke.

At this moment, the foam in people's glasses began to distort, forming strange smiles.

This is one of the ways the Masked Fools communicate with the gods they worship, and its meaning is basically only understandable to the Masked Fools.

This simple miracle conveyed a simple message to them.

This person… no, the god before them, was telling the truth.

Their god of fun was truly kicked by [life], and they even lost the tavern.

The atmosphere in the tavern shifted from shock to a slight commotion. The other gods were relatively calm, but the Masked Fools completely believed that their worshipped deity would make such an outrageous decision.

They even believed that being kicked might be part of the pleasure practiced by the Great Lord of Pleasure.

Faced with the deity before them, they felt an irresistible force. They had to abandon this tavern, which held such deep meaning for them.

“But,” He suddenly smiled subtly, “I want to see this place continue to be filled with laughter and joy.”

"Ok?"

Just when the masked fools thought the god wasn't going to drive them away...

He then changed the subject: "However, only the Fool in Mask is not allowed to enter."

"This place will be temporarily closed until I find a new manager. As for you, are you leaving on your own, or am I going to kick you out?"

……

A moment later, everyone in the tavern except Bai Yan, including all the masked fools such as the waiters and other staff, left.

They gathered not far from the tavern.

The seasoned Masked Fool adjusted his mask and chuckled, "By the Lord of Pleasure, I understand."

"What have you figured out now? Last time you said you understood, and we ended up being chased and beaten by the Mourning Actors for half of the Amber Period."

Another masked fool chimed in, “Oh, I also remember that role-playing game between the Celestial Ship and the Abundant Spawn. We played the Abundant Spawn, and they played the Celestial Ship. Overall, it was a great success.”

"Don't dwell on past pleasures; we need new fun."

The seasoned Masked Fool continued, “We also need a new tavern, a place full of joy. I have a good idea; it must be a great hint from Him.”

Some of the masked fools ignored him, while others looked at him and asked, "What idea?"

"The Grand Duke of Netherfire has declared war on [Life], and will surely unleash his full force."

"So when that time comes..."

"After this declaration of war that has garnered attention throughout the universe, we quietly occupied the Eternal Fire Mansion."

The masked fool raised his voice: "Let our wine and merriment leap and soar in the flames of this feast!"

Chapter 144 Grand Duke of the Underworld: Smash the Face of [Life] into a Mulch

Inside a private room of a coffee shop in Xianzhou Luofu.

The crimson sneer mask had disappeared, but the light cones engraved with details of Afrit's declaration of war were still piled on the table.

Black Tower remained seated, using his personal device to access a floating screen and searching for the Grand Duke of Netherfire that the [Joy] Star God had just mentioned.

She didn't touch the light cone on the table without permission, to avoid getting involved with the god called [Joy].

In just a few seconds, she found numerous videos documenting the Grand Duke of Hellfire's declaration of war against [Life].

Since the appearance of the [Life] Star God in this cosmic star civilization circle, topics related to [Life] have emerged endlessly.
