I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1139 - 1048: I Saw It on His Face

Hiss... What is this feeling?!!!

It seemed as if he vaguely sensed something, the expression behind the Thrush mask suddenly changed, and he shot up from his seat with a start, startling the White Snake masked man opposite him.

"What are you doing?"

Reaching out to steady the chessboard that had been knocked askew, the White Snake masked man spoke with dissatisfaction:

"Stop cheating, hurry up and roll the dice! I only have three pieces left to finish the game, and you..."

Finish my ass!

Upon hearing the words of the White Snake masked man, the Thrush, snapping back to reality, swept the chessboard into disarray with a dark face and shouted:

"Why play chess? Something's happened!!!"

"Oh."

Facing Thrush's exclamation, the White Snake masked man glanced at him, then somewhat lazily asked:

"The only thing that could make you react so abruptly is something related to the Food God... What's the deal this time? Has he unified the Abyss? Or rescued the nine Angels? Or perhaps defeated the Green and Red Kings?"

"It's worse than that! At least twice as bad... no! Ten times worse!!!"

Feeling the overwhelming power surging within himself, and the immense truths echoing back from the "depths" of the world, Thrush couldn't help but shout with a gloomy face:

"I've gotten stronger! I've gotten stronger again!"

"?"

Are you insane?

Watching Thrush, who suddenly went crazy in the middle of a chess game, the White Snake masked man couldn't help but roll his eyes, then sardonically quipped:

"Fine, you're impressive... Anyway, our time is stuck on the same day, nothing's going to change, and you're still the only one who... wait a minute!"

Muttering absentmindedly, the White Snake masked man suddenly realized something, his eyes widening.

"When you said getting stronger... do you mean your personal power increased? Or did your understanding of the 'world principles' strengthen, bringing you along with it?!"

"Do you even need to ask? Isn't my reaction obvious enough?!"

"Hiss..."

After hearing Thrush's answer, the White Snake masked man couldn't help but gasp, his eyes full of shock:

"What exactly is happening? How much stronger has the world principle you control become?"

"How much stronger... let me put it this way!"

After struggling to find the right words, Thrush, his lips trembling, spoke:

"Before I ascended to the Pillar God, the two powers I controlled were [Calamity] and [Chaos], and after coming into contact with the Food God, I discovered he was essentially the source of chaos and disaster, instinctively wanting to stay away from him. So after ascending to the Pillar God, I mastered the truth of [Disaster Avoidance]..."

"I know that, get to the point!"

"That is the point!"

Giving White Snake an exasperated glare, Thrush continued explaining:

"As I just said, my truth is reliant on the existence of [Disaster], so if Disaster is a flood, then the [Disaster Avoidance] I control is a small boat that can ensure safety in the flood.

Among the flood, the small boat, and the safety brought by the 'small boat', only the safety ensured by [Disaster Avoidance] remains unchanged. This means the stronger and more violent the flood, the more my small boat will grow, becoming larger and sturdier.

But just now..."

"Your power suddenly surged, and the small boat became a large ship?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"It directly became an island..."

"?!!!"

"And not just any island, but one of those... those super islands towering above the sea level, reachable only by flying with wings!"

Gesturing with several rather abstract motions to describe his feeling, Thrush said with a pale face:

"Judging by strength alone, I probably already match the Red King... you know, the world principles are infallible. Given that it's strengthening me so crazily, something major must have happened on Heavenly Mountain, and [Disaster] gained a more terrifying enhancement!"

"..."

"..."

"So..."

After a moment of silence with Thrush, the White Snake masked man said complexly:

"Since the time the Food God almost killed us, has he gotten even stronger?"

"He could also have been provoked by something."

Thrush gestured nervously:

"You don't understand [Disaster]; this disaster is different from an ordinary disaster. The extent of disaster the Food God can cause isn't necessarily tied to his strength; it's more linked to his thoughts and intentions.

If I had to say, the original scope of his flood was rather conservative, perhaps only intending to submerge a small city before retreating, but after being provoked, he might have changed his mind in anger, now planning to submerge a country or even sweep through a continent."

"I think I understand..."

Approximately understanding Thrush's feelings through his rather abstract description, the White Snake masked man turned to look towards the main hall of [Past Living]...

On the table where everyone was meeting, a densely packed star map was floating, and at the center of the star map, two overlapping black and white star points represented Heavenly Mountain and Abyss Hundred Prisons.

"Are you saying that the Green and Red Kings did something on Heavenly Mountain to thoroughly infuriate the Food God?"

"That has to be it..."

Following White Snake's gaze towards the star map in the main hall, Thrush said with a blue face:

"Though I still don't know what happened, I once..."

"Alright, stop thinking about it, let's continue the game."

"???"

"Why are you looking at me?"

Rolling his eyes at the astonished Thrush, the White Snake leaned back against the chair casually, speaking with indifference:

"I was killed by the Food God long ago, now there's just a remnant left in the past, no matter how much disaster [Disaster] causes, what's it got to do with me?"

"..."

"Also, I advise you not to worry too much."

Leisurely resetting the knocked chess pieces, the resigned White Snake masked man passed over the dice, advising with a zen-like calm:

"Whatever happened on Heavenly Mountain, it's probably related to the Green and Red Kings. Being suspicious over here does nothing, just ask them when they return, isn't it?"

Indeed...

After hearing the White Snake masked man's reminder, Thrush's tense expression relaxed, he took the dice and rolled it on the chessboard, moving two steps with the pieces according to the number... Yet he still couldn't hold back, speaking with agitation:

"Primarily because my truth doesn't always work. If the Food God got close enough to tear it apart..."

"They're back."

"Huh?"

Hearing these words, Thrush paused slightly, then turned his head towards the main hall, discovering the star map on the table began to brighten.

Soon after, the blue and red light points flashed several times at the star point representing Heavenly Mountain, then the lights burst forth, completely concealing the floating star map, transforming into the figures of the Green and Red Kings. As the projections of the Green and Red Kings emerged, Thrush's exclamation immediately followed.

"Damn!!!"

"What do you mean?"

Glancing at the aghast Thrush in front of him, the White Snake masked man couldn't help leaning forward, asking curiously in a low voice:

"Why are you staring at the Green King's face? Is there something on it?"

"On his face..."

Rubbing his eyes hard to confirm he wasn't hallucinating, Thrush, looking at Omnia Cicada in the main hall whose face was filled with ferocious "black energy," even covering up his features, couldn't help but lower his voice, hissing in horror:

"His face is covered in death!!!"
