The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Shadow now truly understands what kind of god-level insight the lie had just boasted about was—"persist in being shameless!"

"Are you pretending to be your mother here?" Shadow gritted her teeth.

Perhaps influenced by the players during this period, upon seeing this scene, he immediately swore.

Shadow suddenly rushed forward, raised his foot, and kicked Lie hard in the side.

boom!

Lie was like a sandbag, flying backwards for more than ten steps.

But just as it landed...

Lie twisted his body forcefully in mid-air, landing precisely on his knees, and gliding gracefully across the ground.

Stand upright with your hands on the ground.

Kneeling perfectly again.

The entire movement was fluid and seamless, completed in one go.

shadow:"......"

Shadow watched this godlike maneuver, feeling his head buzzing.

"Grass!"

"How can you be so damn despicable?!"

"Where is your pride as a King-level powerhouse?! Where is your dignity?!"

The lies were told without batting an eye.

He even lowered his head further, his posture so humble it seemed to sink into the soil.

"This boy is not worth discussing anything with."

The lie was told, yet the tone carried an air of arrogance.

"High mountains are to be admired, and virtuous conduct is to be followed."

"I call this assessing the situation. To throw pearls before swine is foolish; to abandon darkness and embrace light is wise."

"To witness the supreme true form of Lord Desire is to have heard the Way in the morning, and to die content in the evening!"

Opportunity favors the prepared mind. A lie can make someone look useless, but no one will call them stupid.

Moreover, he has always been eager to learn, and he will spare no effort to study anything that he believes is useful.

Shadow: "...Can you fucking speak human language?"

I can't understand it at all.

I don't know where these lies came from, but even if you don't understand them, you can still roughly understand their meaning.

Flattery, shamelessness!

Upon hearing such shameless and outrageous remarks, Shadow clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles nearly broke.

"You bootlicker!"

"Die!" The black energy erupted from the shadow once more.

"Um?!"

A sound exploded overhead without warning.

Although the sound wasn't loud, it felt like a heavy hammer blow that struck deep into the soul.

The killing intent that the shadow had unleashed instantly dissipated.

next second.

The void was torn open by an invisible force, and a tall figure appeared out of thin air in mid-air.

The dense fog was dispersed by the air currents.

The newcomer looked down at the two people below, who seemed like ants, with an indifferent gaze.

When desire speaks, even the most furious shadow can only swallow its anger.

He swung his arm violently in frustration, turned around, and clasped his hands tightly in front of the figure in mid-air.

"Lord Desire!"

"Don't believe this guy's nonsense!"

"You may not know him, but I know perfectly well that this guy is an extremely selfish, despicable, and shameless scoundrel who will stop at nothing to survive!"

The lie lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to lift its head even slightly.

He continued to employ his linguistic artistry.

"Your Majesty, please be clear!"

"I am born arrogant and self-admiring, and I never easily submit to anyone."

"But in my entire life, I have only ever admired strength!"

"I also know very well that the light of a firefly dares not compete with the brilliance of the moon."

"Looking across the entire Netherworld! No! Even including the Primordial Heaven, is there any being stronger or more perfect than you in this world?!"

These outrageous and obsequious words made Shadow's stomach churn.

"Shut up, you bitch!" Shadow glared at the lie on the ground, her face contorted with rage.

"You have no right to speak here!"

"If you dare utter another word, I'll tear you apart right now!"

But before he could finish speaking...

boom--!

A dull thud.

Shadow felt as if struck by lightning in the chest, and was instantly sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the black rock behind him.

The stone shattered on the spot.

The tall figure in mid-air slowly lowered her eyes, her tone so cold it was icy.

"Am I too easy to talk to?"

"When did it become my turn to speak up for me?"

He was blasted away by desire with a casual blow, his shadow crashing into the black rock behind him, sending rubble tumbling down to the ground.

A sharp pain tore through my chest.

But Shadow didn't dare to utter a sound.

His heart stopped in fright, and he lost all temper. He endured the excruciating pain churning his internal organs and suddenly rolled over and got up.

thump!

Shadow immediately knelt on one knee, his head bowed low, cold sweat dripping down his face.

"No!"

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare!"

The shadow's voice trembled.

The thick fog in mid-air slowly dissipated, revealing a tall figure looking down from above, like a god gazing down at ants.

Desire's eyelids drooped slightly.

Those emotionless eyes glanced at the kneeling figure.

Then.

His gaze slowly shifted and landed on the lie beside him, which was lying prostrate like a lump of mud, even trying to stick out its buttocks to show submission.

"Heh~"

A mocking laugh suddenly erupted from the deathly silent ruins.

The laughter wasn't loud, but it felt like an icicle piercing the top of the shadow's head.

Shadow's scalp tingled.

Something's not right!

Something is absolutely wrong!

The contempt hidden in that cold laugh sent chills down his spine.

Shadow subconsciously looked down at his standard posture of kneeling on one knee with one hand supporting his knee.

Followed by.

He turned his head again and glanced at Lie, who was lying sprawled out next to him, as if he wanted to bury his face in the ground.

boom!

It felt like something exploded in my head.

now.

Even a brain-stem-deficient idiot should have come to his senses by now!

The veins on Shadow's forehead throbbed violently, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

He panicked.

The shadow also wanted to immediately learn from the lie and lie down without any dignity.

But he exerted force.

But to his horror, he discovered that, for some reason, his knees, which were frozen in mid-air, seemed to be welded shut.

That instinct, born from years of being a king-level powerhouse, held him firmly in check.

He can submit, he can yield.

But he just couldn't do it as smoothly as a lie, discarding all his dignity.

A despicable attitude of not treating oneself as a human being at all, and not leaving oneself with the slightest dignity.

The air was so oppressive it made me want to vomit.

Fortunately.

Desire's gaze lingered for only a moment, without dwelling on this trivial matter for long.

"lie."

Desire spoke softly, its voice ethereal yet chillingly cold.

"Raise your head."

These words were spoken.

The lie lying on the ground shuddered.

"Since you've spoken, sir, I will naturally listen!"

Without any hesitation, the lie instantly rose to the occasion.

The face that was denouncing the shadow as "a worthless brat" just a second ago is now filled with a huge and extremely fawning smile.

That expression was so docile, it was like a husky seeing its owner.
