"What, what exactly are you trying to do?"

The voice of Akusu came to his ear, but it gradually weakened.

In a daze, Xibo's consciousness recalled the events from many years ago.

Xibo had always been investigating the battle between Magaras and God from back then.

Finally, he found many spectators from the bubble worlds surrounding the scene at that time, including the Witchcraft Celestial Maiden, and got one piece of information:

"Those mysterious characters were square and upright."

"That guy named Magaras was engraved with the character '正' by God, and sunk into the infinite deep sea."

This was the final result he obtained.

But sunken at the bottom of the infinite deep sea, it is a thousand light-years beneath the unreachable human territory.

No life can enter that area.

The Magaras, who had sunk into the sea, was no different from death.

No one could retrieve him...

Except for now, this illusionary Creator God that deceived Akusu and was made with the power of infinite deep-sea civilization.

"What are you thinking about?"

Akusu's angry voice pulled him back to reality.

Xibo suddenly laughed, "Friend, we've already lost."

"So what?" Akusu shouted.

"Since we've lost, we should honestly accept defeat, rather than hide humbly like rats in the gutter."

Xibo sneered, "I've thought you were trash long ago. You brought calamity to the world. I painstakingly built planets, and you waged war, killing countless people."

Akusu paused. What madness was this God of Fraud spewing now?

"Stupid, despicable, greedy, ungrateful, unfaithful to promises and oaths, your lies are as numerous as the grains of rice you've eaten."

Akusu paused, "Anyone can criticize me, except you; you're a fraud too!"

"I'm different from you; you're a despicable fraud, and I'm a benevolent lie."

"What is your life's goal? Just to live?"

"No, to become the God of Fraud, your purpose is to deceive!! Each successful fraud, each tightrope walk excites you to the tremors."

"We can even gamble our lives for one perfect scam!"

"So, we deceived God, we deceived those deities."

"You're as crazy as I am, fearing no death."

Hearing Xibo's cold laughter, Akusu suddenly begged, "No, don't compare me to you. I fear death. I don't want to die. Please spare me."

Akusu sobbed loudly, terror washing over his face.

"Have you realized your mistake?" Xibo suddenly asked.

"No, it's not that I realize my mistake. I realize I'm going to die," Akusu pleaded.

"Lying again." Xibo chuckled lightly, "You're not afraid of death; your anger isn't because you're dying, but because I deceived you."

"As a fraud, you can accept dying after pulling off a brilliant scam, but not being scammed to death by another fraud. It's your greatest humiliation."

Akusu remained silent, "No, don't..."

"Isn't the meaning of our lives to deceive?"

Xibo smiled, "Just living? What's the point of such a pursuitless life? The ocean floor is full of living prisoners. Are they happy?"

"Utterly boring, only a grand and perfect super scam is the true meaning of life."

Xibo was no longer interested in Akusu's cries for mercy.

Due to the internal conflict of the God of Fraud, he was about to win!

As two frauds, there was only one way to win over each other, to deceive each other.

Life used as bait was the only choice.

Xibo's complex gaze looked at the text-covered shell of Magaras, and the vast Mana stored within him with the Cause and Effect Deposit Book, beginning to unleash fully.

"No, if our Mana runs out—"

Accompanied by Akusu's screams, the illusionary Creator God gradually weakened, infinite Mana coursing into Magaras's shell.

As the illusionary Creator God, he possessed all series of Divine Power, capable of miraculous resurrection.

As the aura of the illusionary Creator God gradually weakened, Magaras's presence grew stronger, and a wisp of vitality was reborn within his body.

Boom!

The next moment, the illusionary Creator God had no strength left and withered entirely.

Magaras slowly opened his eyes, looking at the other, "Xibo?"

"This is what happened over the years," reaching out, an ocean of information memories surged into Xibo's mind.

Magaras reviewed the various events that had occurred over the years, finally gazing at Xibo, "So, what are you doing?"

"A brilliant and perfect scam."

"You lost, so you died."

"I lost, unable to defeat God, so I brought you up, just like that."

Xibo was very calm, "And incidentally, get rid of that nagging guy in my mind; he's been an eyesore for a while."

"A fascinating scam." Magaras looked deeply at Xibo, "You created the illusionary Creator God with the real goal to resurrect me, sunken in the unrescuable deep sea?"

"Just incidental."

Xibo's mouth curved slightly upward, "Killing that guy in my mind, defeating this arch-enemy, is more important than life."

Xibo's voice was filled with coldness, "Now, I need to send you away."

"But my advice is to give up."

"The God of today is beyond anyone's challenge. I found my life's purpose; I hope you can start a new life too."

"And after my death, my Divine Object will also sink into this seabed, do not retrieve it, let it lie with me."

Magaras quietly looked at Xibo.

"Teleport!"

Xibo reached out and lightly tapped.

With his last strength, he initiated a teleportation. With a bang, a bubble enveloped Magaras.

Magaras was instantly sent out from the ocean floor, pushed into the space outside.

Boom!

In the next moment, Magaras vanished.

The infinite cold and oppressive chaotic sea water rapidly crushed forth, surging toward the fallen fantasy Creator God.

Crack, crack, the shell was collapsing, shattering.

And the next moment, the consciousness of Xibo and Akusu gradually blurred.

In a daze, Akusu completely calmed down, no longer crying, but instead began to laugh maniacally: "I lost, I actually really lost! Damn it! You damned fraud!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Xibo said.

Akusu was also a crazy fraud, obsessed with the art of deception.

So he created such a world-shattering ruse, attempting to deceive God.

He truly was not afraid of death.

What hurt him most was being deceived himself.

"From the start, you were all about resurrecting him." Akusu said viciously: "Such a great cost all just to salvage him."

"Who knows? Would you believe what a fraud says? Frauds have no friendship or affection." Xibo argued with him.

At the last moment of the shell's breaking, these two frauds could only bicker.

"Hey! Tell me, what is the meaning of our lives?"

"Fraud, of course."

"I knew it, I pegged you for having that same taste as mine."

"It's really frustrating, being deceived like this; I even want to return and start a grand and exquisite deception again."

"I've already started a grandiose deception, and you've already taken the bait."

"You're really quick, tell me, after we die, what will happen to the outside world?"

"A new realm will appear, the final step has already manifested, but the era won't bear our names."

"Haha, that's a matter for the future."

In a daze, their consciousnesses both completely blurred, the two frauds were about to return to their origins.

Vaguely, Akusu seemed to see Xibo's memories.

It was a very long time ago, from the 165 parallel Divine Era world.

The world destined to birth the Celestial Divine King.

Memories gradually became clear before his eyes, a beam of light hit the laboratory's cultivation vessel, falling upon a blood-veined embryo.

"Child, you are the product of Divine Objects fusion, you embody the efforts of me, the God of Time, and the hopes of the entire Time God civilization!"

In the white-mottled laboratory, a tall and imposing man looked upon the scene full of expectation.

"Am I a hope? Then I must help you defeat all others! I hope you can become my greatest assistance!"

Time passed.

Yet, what Akusu saw was that Xibo in the laboratory gradually being abandoned, no longer receiving attention as a failed product.

"Failed, he lacked the ability to merge with Divine Objects."

"Just a transitional product, the gods discovered another method, that's the correct one."

"So, what do we do with this guy?"

"Just leave him here."

Left coldly in the embryo, the child waited day by day.

Its small body lay inside the eggshell, eyes full of expectation.

Yearning for the other party to reappear, as time passed.

That childhood yearning was gradually torn by endless loneliness, turning into limitless resentment and struggle against that man, yearning for notice, yearning to be seen.

I must kill him!

Kill the one who gave me faith, yet abandoned me.

In some unknown moment, a hatred-filled thought surfaced within.

Until one day, the opportunity arose.

The man's subordinate took him away: "Since we plan to traverse to the future, let's take this egg along."

"What are you doing, our startup space-time luggage is limited, taking an egg is useless, this guy is extremely dangerous and unstable."

"Who knows? I think a single weapon could help us with the invasion just fine."

Words fell, they all journeyed to distant times and spaces, embarking on an unknown expedition.

Memories gradually blurred, Akusu's consciousness only had one final relieved thought:

"I actually lost to such a humble child yearning for love."

"Who are you scolding? Damn it, how dare you peek into my memories."

"You're the damn one."

"You're a damn one."

In the midst of argument, their last consciousness completely vanished.

Their bodies sank into the vast depths of the deep ocean.

One by one, Cause and Effect Divine Objects slowly floated out from their remains.

Ultimately, two powerful rival Divine Spirits were laid to rest in this unknown seabed abyss.

And in the next second.

Infinite power gathered.

In the dark seabed, a point of light slowly emerged.

A pitch-black hand reached out, clutching these few Cause and Effect Divine Objects,

"He actually truly believed in this mythical story full of bittersweet, sacrifice, and resurrection."

"Sorry, I tricked you a second time before you died."

A quiet sigh filled with complexity and relief,

"So... never... trust a fraud."

The man's whole body was slowly surrounded by Fourfold Death Divine Power, condensing into a complete Death Brand:

[Source Black Death God]

He indeed was dead.

His life entwined, perishing together with Akusu.

But he had resurrected once more.
