“Who on earth is your enemy?” Sui Xiong asked. He had thought through it many times, yet in the end, his curiosity got the better of him.

 In fact, he did not really care about the benefits of “becoming a greater Divine Power.” Perhaps the vast majority of gods would not be able to resist this sort of temptation, but he definitely would not be one of them.

 For the present Sui Xiong, becoming a greater Divine Power did not actually make much of a difference.

 In terms of power, he was powerful enough. Even if a greater Divine Power like the unparalleled God of Light or the God of Water Elements, who had existed way before the era of the Great Circulation, decided to turn against him, when the battle arrays were laid and all sides were to fight each other to the end, he felt that he would not lose the battle.

 Greater Divine Powers were undoubtedly great. Yet among the gods, there was only one great Divine Power that Sui Xiong had no confidence in challenging. That was none other than the Master of Order. But so what? If he could not win against the Master of Order, then so be it. It would not affect his life anyway.

 This was just like playing a game where one had successfully fought through a dungeon and could finally strike down the final boss and obtain better equipment. Was there a need to pursue awards like clearing out the dungeon before a certain time or winning using the smallest team?

 Maybe the real game fanatics would pursue this, and they might even do a live broadcast or something. But Sui Xiong was not really interested.

 Of course, it was definitely good to be able to become a greater Divine Power. But the question was, at what cost?

 Sui Xiong abhorred the God of Conspiracy. His intuition told him that there would not be any good from getting involved with this bastard. So he really did not wish to be bothered about this guy. But, on the other hand, he really could not help but feel curious.

 It was like playing a game. He himself did not pursue unnecessary awards, nor was he after things like “no potions” and “only daggers.” But when there was nothing hindering him from watching such videos, he could spend an entire half-day watching them with great relish. And he would even clap and cheer loudly at the splendid and wonderful parts.

 So finally, he could not help but ask.

 Anyway, there was no harm in asking. If the other party was simply too powerful or if the other party was not a particularly unlikeable character, he would still have time if he wanted to give up by then.

 If the God of Conspiracy was unwilling to tell him who his enemy was, then Sui Xiong would have no choice but to forget about it.

 No matter how great his interest and no matter how great his curiosity, he would not unwittingly make enemies with others like a fool.

 But after hearing his question, the God of Conspiracy laughed.

 If Sui Xiong really did not bother to inquire about anything at all, the God of Conspiracy could only be that helpless. It was said that a man with no desire could not be swayed easily. So no matter how good he was at scheming and plotting, when in the face of a person who was not the least bit interested in reciprocating his advances, there was nothing the God of Conspiracy could do.

 But since Sui Xiong popped the question, it showed that he was interested.

 If he was interested, then everything else would be much easier.

 When it came to speculating the human's heart, the God of Conspiracy was very confident that he beat all the other gods at it. However, he might encounter some chaotic people whose minds were completely messed up. One second, they would be laughing heartily, but the next second, they would have suddenly drawn their swords to hack away at someone. Otherwise, he would always be able to guess what went through the minds of other people through their words and actions—or at least, he could guess a portion of their thoughts.

 He was not very sure why Sui Xiong asked. But so long as Sui Xiong opened his mouth and asked, it was possible for a negotiation to happen next.

 “This enemy who led me to my death is an existence named “Chaos,” who lives in the deepest region of the abyss,” he said. “In fact, I've never fought him before. I merely went looking for him for a brief negotiation, yet I was unconsciously eroded. And then… that's all.”

 Sui Xiong froze for a moment, then asked, “You mean to say, you merely met the other party, and then now, you are losing your life?”

 “You can understand the situation as such.”

 “My God! Just one meeting, and he has your life. That is one powerful fellow. And still, you want to pit me against him?” Sui Xiong said. He could not hold himself back from cursing and swearing. “Are you taking the chance to kill me?”

 The God of Conspiracy laughed and said, “If it were any other god, even if it was the God of Revenge or the God of Water Elements, I don't see any hope in them winning against 'Chaos.' But if it's you, I'll feel that there's at least some hope.”

 “Why?”

 “Because you once found your way into the abyss in a most unguarded and unprepared manner. And you fought a great battle and turned the place upside down. In the end, you even dragged a small world out from the abyss—wasn't that small world that you dragged out from the abyss used as grist for the modification of your God Kingdom?”

 Sui Xiong coughed. After a few seconds, he shook his head and said, “Even if I can resist being eroded by the abyss, it doesn't mean that I'm able to withstand the power of this 'Chaos!' This is just like a mortal's body. A healthy mortal can eat things that contain just a bit of poison, but if they were to gulp down a huge cup of poisoned water, no matter how healthy they are, they will still die.”

 “Maybe. But I still feel that you will be able to resist that fellow's power of erosion,” the God of Conspiracy said. “For no reason at all, I just feel that way.” He laughed again and said, “Previously, when I had yet to meet you, this feeling was not that strong. But now, after meeting you, this feeling is getting stronger.”

 “Feeling?! Are you sick in the mind?! Such a huge thing, and you are making your decision based on your feelings?”

 “Other than my feelings, what else can I rely on?” the God of Conspiracy asked back. “Among the honorable gods, there won't be any who can resist the power of erosion of the abyss—probably the Master of Order could, but I really cannot communicate with that old man. I've tried to previously, but he would not give me the time of day. Otherwise, I would never have taken that path…”

 “What path?” Sui Xiong asked. His curiosity was aroused all over again.

 “It's all in the past, not even worth mentioning,” said the God of Conspiracy. Obviously, he was reluctant to answer this. He continued to say, “Among the evil gods, there's a handful of them who could resist the erosion of the abyss. But… my visiting 'Chaos' previously to propose a co-operation was to deal with the leader of the evil gods.”

 Sui Xiong was taken aback and asked in a rather loud voice, “The Dragon of Chaos? You wanted to deal with… the Dragon of Chaos?!”

 The God of Conspiracy nodded.

 “Seriously! You deserve to be thrown out onto the streets! Don't you know who the Dragon of Chaos is? Do you think that that's someone you can handle!” Sui Xiong scolded. Then suddenly, he felt a jolt of fear as he recalled something. Instantly, he went pale in the face.

 “Hey! Is that 'Chaos' that you're looking for a mass of thick, amorphous black air… Well, I can't really say it's black air. In short, it's just a mass of substance capable of squirming about… maybe not squirming. Anyway, it can move… and it's a mass of chaos filled with evil and chaotic aura. Just one look at it from afar could make anyone feel great discomfort. It's fine if it remains still and asleep. But the moment it awakes, everyone around it will simply want to get far away from it… right?”

 The God of Conspiracy was silent for a while. Then he laughed loudly and said, “Just as I've expected! You're certainly able to resist his power of erosion! Back then, you've met Chaos in the abyss, right? You were able to resist him back then, now that you've become much stronger, I'm sure you are more than able to… And in the future, you're going to continue getting stronger. Who knows, the day will come where he will be destroyed!”

 He laughed most delightfully and spoke in a tone that sounded somewhat crazy. Sui Xiong could not help feeling surprised and worried just by listening to him.

 This fellow… have you lost your mind?
