The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

"why?"

"Because isn't this funny!?"

The gods laughed with delight:

"The world will become a mess! The gods will become a mess! Everything will become a mess!"

Kakaka...

The once sturdy chains suddenly made a cracking sound.

The Clown of Deception wasn't actually completely trapped; she always had opportunities to escape, but she chose to remain silent in order to extract more information.

Now it no longer pretends, but not in order to escape.

"I really want to see that chaotic scene!"

Struggling to her feet from her kneeling position, she walked step by step toward Ning Feng, her progress incredibly difficult.

"Come on! Take everything you want with your own hands."

Ning Feng, watching him walk step by step towards him, finally smiled.

他 说:

"You crazy clown."

she says:

"Ha ha!"

……

……

Why did you do it yourself? Didn't you say that was enough?

Ariana was curious about Ning Feng's actions. He had clearly said that he did not intend to take action himself again, so why was there such an exception?

Playing with the clown mask with its exaggerated smile in his hand, Ning Feng looked up and said with a hint of helplessness:

"I really wasn't planning on doing it myself."

"But didn't you see it yourself? He was determined to die; it has nothing to do with me."

"He pleaded so earnestly, how could I possibly refuse him?"

[Ha, what a scumbag's comment.]

After hearing this, Ariana gave a subconscious sneer, then asked curiously:

Why is it so important to acquire her power? What are the reasons?

Ning Feng said with a serious expression:

"That's because her priesthood is an integral part of the plan, of course."

【Ha, what a scumbag.】

What about the truth?

"The main actors are all hiding... Don't you think the stage is a bit empty right now? Lacking a clown for intermission?"

So you originally planned for her to be the one to lift the curtain?

"That was my original plan."

Ning Feng stroked his chin and suddenly smiled knowingly.

"But then I thought about it and realized that I didn't actually lack it."

【oh?】

"The gods use the mortal world as their hunting ground, believing themselves to be the same reckless hunters they once were."

Is it possible that they are the prey?

“They never thought of it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”

"So...every one of these hidden main actors is a clown."

"This silent performance is also very interesting from another perspective."

Everyone thought they were the real protagonist, and each of them was secretly plotting in various ways.

"Although it's interesting, let's end this pantomime here."

"I'm tired of it."

Ning Feng placed the mask on the desk and spun it around. Staring at the constantly rotating mask, he said:

"Although there were some problems in the process, in terms of the result, it seems that there was no difference."

Snapped.

"We've already obtained the divine authority and power of [Trickery], so..."

He snapped his fingers lightly, plunging the already dim space into complete darkness.

Darkness shrouded everything, including the script that determined the fate of the gods.

Okay.

A clear sound came from the darkness—the sound of a spinning mask stopping on the table.

And, a soft laugh.

他 说:

"The performance can continue."

……

……

Prayer once again resounded in tens of thousands of shelters.

In the dark, undetectable corners of people's hearts, they sowed the seeds called faith.

"If you believe in me, I will lead you away from here."

"If you believe in me, I will bestow upon you endless wealth."

"If you believe in me, I will give you great power."

"If you believe in me, I..."

The explanations weren't particularly surprising, but the very existence of such a "miracle" was convincing enough.

This exposes a drawback of the isolation between awakened individuals and ordinary people.

Ordinary people have no idea about extraordinary power, and they are amazed by anything that is magical.

The gods are not stupid, of course; they will eventually discover the flaws in these shelters.

These greedy fellows are even less likely to let these tempting lambs go.

Judging from the results, they succeeded.

These deities successfully gained the faith of a small portion of mortals and successfully seduced a group of wavering mortals.

They felt a long-lost power filling their bodies again!

But just as they were about to launch a divine war, they instinctively sensed unease.

Without exception, these deities received an audio message from their newly acquired "Scroll Masters" and then fell into deep confusion.

"【Guide to Literacy in the Inquisition】?"

What exactly is "educational guidance"?

The audio was a moving recitation describing the disasters that blindly believing in evil beings claiming to be "gods" could bring to your family...

This is a tactic employed by awakened humans to weaken the influence of the gods. While it may have some effect, it will not amount to much.

The only thing that made these gods somewhat uneasy was a soft laugh at the end of the audio, after a period of background noise.

The voice said:

"Here you are!"

Got you!

Chapter 571 Dazzling Fireworks

Who?

Who is this?

The voice sounded gentle and soft, yet it possessed a strange, bewitching quality.

It's here!

He was being watched.

It was as if a pair of squinting eyes were peering merrily into the back of my heart from the darkness of a forest.

In the shadows, a figure moved with light steps, approaching step by step.

What's going on here?

It was hidden so well, how could it have been exposed!

?

How could this be... Ah!?

"It's a prayer..."

The gods suddenly realized their mistake, but it was too late for regrets.

Their location has been exposed.

Prayer is a two-way street.

When mortals pray to the gods, the gods receive the power of their faith and in return, they bestow a small gift upon the mortals.
