A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 353 These Truths Are Too False

Baal watched the divine runes around Titiru warily, and also prepared to defend himself.

"Because our most direct enemy has never been those rulers, Titigruten."

"The Outer God has shown me the whole picture of the world; we have gone too far down the wrong path."

Baal was referring to a picture of the real universe, but Titus only felt that he had been bewitched by the Outer God of Chaos and that his mind was already somewhat abnormal.

"The wrong path? The chaotic tide is sweeping across the universe, destroying civilization after civilization, and countless lives are heading towards the abyss of despair. The Alliance is trying to stop all of this from happening, and you're telling me this is the wrong path?" Titiru retorted angrily, refusing to accept Baal's nonsense.

"Baal! No matter how deeply you are corrupted by Chaos, that is no excuse for betraying your people! You will pay the price for your actions!"

After saying that, Titiru unleashed all of his divine words in an attack.

"You are the one who should pay the price! Titiru! It was you who disobeyed the advice of the true gods and incited your fellow human beings to participate in this meaningless war! The supreme chaos created everything that is happening now! Created the entire universe! The fundamental reason for this universe is the chaos that has caused everything to fall into disarray!"

"Going against the tide of history, when chaos gives way to order, everything you know will inevitably face destruction!"

Barr was also extremely angry; if he could, who would want to see his compatriots killed?

Baal did not believe that he killed his fellow beings. He was saving the universe. If the universe was destroyed due to excessive order, then even if he did not kill his fellow beings, they would certainly die. Setting traps to harm his fellow beings was a last resort forced upon him by Titiru in front of him.

If he hadn't stepped forward in the first place to incite his compatriots to join the war, those compatriots protected by the true gods wouldn't have had to die at all.

Why did you have to get involved in this mess when you could have lived a good life? This was Baal's greatest resentment towards Titus at that moment.

"Nonsense!" Titiru shouted angrily.

"Stubborn to the end!" Baal retorted angrily.

The clash of divine words between the two sides caused space and time to tremble. The terrifying power directly tore apart the entire bridge. The huge and sturdy warship was actually torn in two by the aftershocks of the two's battle!

For a time, the battle was evenly matched, but Baal had no intention of a fair fight. He shouted loudly into the void.

"help me!"

In an instant, three terrifying outer gods descended one after another, forming an encirclement that surrounded the two of them.

With Baal joining the attack, in a four-on-one situation, Titiru, who lacks the protagonist archetype, was easily subdued and trapped in a distorted spacetime prison.

"Titiru, give up. You can't defeat us."

"Join the chaos, it's your only way to survive."

Baal once again tried to persuade them to surrender, although he was still furious that Titiru had dragged so many of his compatriots into this pointless war, but Titiru himself was also a Prannoy.

If he could, Barr would never want to see any more of his compatriots die.

"Join the chaos? Ha, I'd rather die!"

Titigruten looked at Baal, who had succumbed to Chaos, with disdain. Even now, he couldn't understand what kind of spell the Outer Gods of Chaos had cast on him.

Having committed so many grave mistakes and become a prisoner, yet still acting so arrogantly, Baal was utterly enraged by Titigru and no longer had any intention of keeping him alive.

"Then you should just die!"

As expected, under Baal's divine attack, Titiguru's body instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, leaving not even a complete corpse.

After venting his anger, Baal turned and coldly addressed the three Outer Gods who were entrenched in the center of the vortex: "As agreed, we will no longer concern ourselves with the chaotic universe, but you must show mercy to those civilizations."

Baal never trusted the Outer Gods, because they were chaotic, twisted, and terrifying beings, not worthy of any trust.

All that he is doing now is simply a last resort.

"certainly."

The three Outer Gods' booming, twisted, chaotic voices swirled around us.

……

Outside the psionic network universe, the Babel swarm remained completely detached, observing the situation.

"Unexpected, I never thought there would be a traitor," a microscopic creature grumbled.

To be honest, many of the bee swarm creatures didn't initially think that the Prannoys in the Civilization Alliance would turn traitors. After all, betrayal comes with conditions, and the Outer Gods clearly hadn't offered enough incentives to make the Prannoys defect.

Just as the swarm suspected, the Outer God did not have enough leverage to make the Pulan people defect, but the Outer God had the ability to use false information to make them defect.

One of the worker bees said, "Even the strongest fortress can be destroyed from within. It's such a pity that the Pulan people were in such a good position."

Why would those people from Pulan choose to betray us?

The rather dull worker bees are not good at thinking about such questions, and to many worker bees, the behavior of the Pulan man, Bal, is completely incomprehensible.

"Because I want to live. Even if I don't want to live myself, I hope that the people I care about can live." Kasha, who had been observing for a long time, answered the worker bee's question.

Kasha continued, "The information that the Outer Gods revealed led these traitors to mistakenly believe that the world's very nature was destined to descend into indescribable madness and chaos."

Rabbi, upon hearing this, disagreed, saying, "I think the main reason is probably the bee colony."

"Because the bee swarm had shown excessive power, yet still refused to eradicate the alien god, even allowing it to run rampant, many Pulan people who had rebelled against civilization formed a mistaken understanding. Combined with the information given by the alien god, this naturally led to an association."

The Outer Gods were not lying, because in their view, the universe is just like this. They spread chaos throughout the universe and played a distorted and disordered symphony, all to please the supreme being of the universe and to prevent the universe from heading towards destruction.

It can be said that everything the Outer Gods said to the Pulan people's Baal, and even their own understanding, was "the truth." However, since these were not facts, they were both the truth and the falsehood.

The difference between telling the truth and telling the facts lies here: telling the truth is stating the facts, while telling the facts is simply what others subjectively believe to be correct.

The planetary creature seemed to understand something, pondered for a moment, and thought, "Is this also part of the plan?"

Rabbi denied it, saying, "It's uncertain. It could very well be just a coincidence, but we can't rule out the possibility that Lu Shang has thought about it that way."

"In short, this is very valuable for research. Through subjective cognition among individuals, even if they are telling the truth, they can still achieve the effect of deception. This is something we didn't expect at the beginning, and the information worth recording in the knowledge base has increased again."
