A slender youth wearing a black, classic robe and a matching pointed soft hat appeared in the miniature world formed by orderly space fragments.

A gentle smile graced his face, and starlight swirled within his eyes, as if layers upon layers of doors constructed his pupils.

The rules of the world seemed to encounter an error when applied to him; he appeared so abrupt and uncoordinated, as if he shouldn't belong here.

"Yin Jin," a smile spread across his face, "I've done my best."

"I know," Amon, clad in the classic black robe, nodded, "It's already sufficient. The plan was successful… Now, it's my time."

With a wave of his hand, starlight flowed, forming a layer of film-like clothing that covered his body. He left the temporary interface formed by the orderly space fragments and leaped into the endless spatial turbulence.

Unlike the Sea God and Asura God, who could only rely on their powerful strength to resist, ultimately being worn down, Amon shuttled through the void storm like a swimming fish.

The spatial fragments, as sharp as the keenest blades, could never touch him. Each time they approached, they were blocked by the layer of starlight-emitting film on his body, then slid past on either side.

Amon searched everywhere, relying on his vague perception of fate, and successfully found his target in this endless turbulence.

They were two enormous corpses: one covered in blue armor with golden Pattern, exuding the aura of the sea, and the other wearing black armor with red Pattern, radiating the aura of slaughter.

The corpses of the Sea God and Asura God!

Amon didn't get too close. He raised his hand, pinched the upper and lower edges of his monocle, and coughed lightly.

His figure suddenly split into two.

Amon's numbers had increased.

The separated clone glanced at the main body standing in place, muttering:

"Why is the risky stuff always left to me?"

As he spoke, he had already passed through the turbulence under the cover of starlight and arrived beside the enormous divine corpses.

This Amon clicked his tongue, saying:

"Gods are just stronger humans… At least the gods of this world are. Their divinity is very thin."

He stretched out his right hand and grabbed forward, and two blurred, vaguely humanoid clusters of light appeared in his hand.

These were the divine souls of the Sea God and Asura God, damaged but not completely dissipated.

They weren't completely dead; a trace of vitality remained, and they uttered vague, unclear murmurs:

"Aba aba…"

The clone Amon glanced at the two corpses again. Although he couldn't think of any use for them for the time being, based on the principle of not wasting anything, he raised his hand and collected them, storing them in the Corpse Cathedral newly opened by the main body.

Because it had been destroyed once, the external soul bone of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's wings was also damaged and needed time to recover. The newly opened Corpse Cathedral space wasn't that huge, but it was more than enough to accommodate two corpses.

The clone Amon handed the two divine souls to the main body, gradually becoming illusory, merging with the main body, and the two Amons became one.

Amon's numbers had decreased again.

The main body Amon held the two already foolish divine souls, only capable of saying "Aba aba," and squeezed them together, mixing them into a group.

The condition for "Fooling" was met!

He had successfully "Fooled" two gods!

Although the method of achievement was somewhat beyond Amon's expectations, deviating from the track and containing a great deal of coincidence… he had originally intended to normally "Fool" the other party through lies and deception… but it was completed after all.

Moreover, the current method of completion seemed to be even more perfect and suitable than Amon had initially anticipated.

He used the concept of this "Fooling" behavior as the core, "Stole" the faith from the Asura God's position, and with deception, temporarily made the rules treat it as related faith pointing to Amon.

The two "Fooled" divine souls collapsed and dissipated, decomposing into the most primitive energy. The divinity within them converged and combined with the hazy light spots floating out of Amon's body, condensing into a rhombus crystal emitting a gray halo.

The brilliance wasn't dazzling, but it was fascinating, as if it could attract people's souls, this was a sensation from the instinct of life.

The divinity dissipated from the divine soul wasn't a necessary material for condensing a godhood, but it could slightly increase the strength of the godhood and strengthen the power of related authority after the godhood took shape.

After doing all this, Amon's face was somewhat pale, and his body began to tremble. His "Mentor of Deceit" ability had reached its limit!

Without hesitation, he waved his hand and took out two other crystals, each emitting black and silver brilliance.

These three crystals were three godhoods, symbolizing "Error," "Door," and "Fool"!

He opened his mouth and swallowed the three godhoods at the same time.

…

During Tang San's Sea God inheritance ceremony just now, Amon replaced him at the last moment, completing the "Theft" of the godhood. At the same time, this also caused an "Error" to occur in the inheritance ceremony.

Based on the concepts of "Theft" and "Error," supplemented by the faith related to this behavior, distorted by the "Mentor of Deceit," he successfully condensed the godhood of "God of Error and Theft."

Subsequently, he stole the faith carried in the Fire God's godhood, "Deceiving" the rules, and temporarily converted it into faith pointing to behaviors such as "Transcendence," "Void Roaming," and "Space Shattering," condensing the godhood of "God of Door and Space."

However, Amon didn't directly accommodate these two godhoods. Because he found that the faith pointing to different godhoods was mutually exclusive.

Before, when he was the Emperor of the Tudor Empire, the faith of Marauder clashed with faiths like "Conqueror" and "Tyrant."

As the primary faith, Marauder repelled the remaining fragmented faiths. Although the repulsion wasn't very strong, it would intensify with the increase in the number of faiths.

Amon estimated that after condensing a Godhood, ordinary gods should be able to overcome the repulsion and barely Exploit other types of faith directed towards themselves, but they wouldn't be able to use them to condense a second Godhood.

He himself could rely on the special nature of "Error" to accommodate a second Godhood, but that would be the limit. The powerful repulsive force formed by two Godhoods would prevent him from condensing a third.

Therefore, Amon decided not to immediately accommodate divinity after condensing a Godhood, but to wait until all three Godhoods were in hand and accommodate them simultaneously, achieving it in one step!

This would minimize the repulsion between different Godhoods to the greatest extent, making multiple Godhoods possible.

The distorted faith obtained through deceiving the rules with "Mentor of Deceit" could not maintain the condensed Godhood for a long time. Only by accommodating the "Error" Godhood could the hidden danger be resolved. Therefore, Amon had to condense three Godhoods in a short period.

Tang San's Godhood inheritance ceremony happened to gather all the materials and meet all the conditions. It was Amon's best and only opportunity he could see in the near future!

He planned to take a risk and directly hunt the Asura God and Sea God, "fooling" them during the hunt and using them as stepping stones for his ascension to Godhood.

Although Amon was cautious, he was not without a spirit of adventure. If the benefits were sufficient and he had enough confidence, he wouldn't mind doing something more radical.

Especially when the risks were controllable and there was a way out!

Even if he failed and one or both of the Sea God and Asura God escaped, Amon had follow-up plans.

The worst possibility was that the God Realm would discover his threat and directly launch a great purge, eliminating all life in the entire Douluo world!

But from the Sea God and Asura God escaping to communicating with the gods and initiating the judgment, it would take a certain amount of time. During this time, Amon could completely make one or two more attempts to steal Godhoods.

Whether Qian Renxue's injuries were fully recovered was entirely within Amon's control. He could cancel the suppression of time power on her wounds at any time.

Bibi Dong's Godhood assessment was also being delayed by his clone. He could completely give up blocking it.

As long as Amon no longer interfered with these two, they would definitely not miss the opportunity and try to become gods as quickly as possible.

In addition, the same was true for Lei Yin. As long as Amon nodded, he would immediately begin to ascend to Godhood through faith.

Basically, he had control over the Godhood attainment progress of the three. This was Amon's confidence in daring to take risks!

Although becoming a god in this way could only condense a maximum of two Godhoods, which was not the best choice, it would allow his range of activity to no longer be limited to Douluo Star, and he could go to other planets to avoid the great purge of the gods.

Amon's follow-up plan was not used. His plan went very smoothly. Even "Yan Jin," who had a high probability of dying to delay the Sea God and Asura God, did not die.

He successfully condensed the three Godhoods he had hoped for before the ability of "Mentor of Deceit" reached its limit and the rules began to backfire, and he accommodated them!

...

In the endless turbulent void, Amon's body began to undergo strange changes, turning into a condensed and dispersed vortex of worms.

Semi-transparent worms with twelve rings and sparkling colors shuttled through the void. They seemed a little chaotic, unable to distinguish directions, but they always united within a certain range and did not completely disperse.

A few scattered "Worms of Time" that were not very gregarious wanted to leave this range, but they were blocked by the rest and forcibly pulled back.

The surrounding spatial turbulence became more chaotic, more disordered, and more terrifying, but this did not affect the worm vortex in the slightest.

All spatial fragments would be silently decomposed when approaching the vortex, turning into starlight and becoming nourishment for the worms.

They, or rather He, was the "King of Space-Time"!

At the same time as the main body underwent strange changes, all of Amon's avatars also fell into a state of stagnation, and their thoughts were affected simultaneously.

...

In Heaven Dou City, an official who was reporting government affairs to Hu Liena fell into a state of dementia, only uttering unintelligible babblings of "Aba Aba."

In addition to him, several officials next to him also stared blankly at the ceiling of the hall, looking foolish and silly.

Hu Liena's eyebrows twitched, a trace of confusion appeared on her face, and then she moved away from them a little without a trace... Could it be that foolishness is really contagious?

...

In the Night City, people standing blankly in place could be seen from time to time in the streets and alleys, with saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths and their eyes unfocused.

Lei Yin sensed the state of the city through the "Mind Web", his expression became solemn, and he turned into a ray of lightning, leaving from the gap in the dome and flying into the sky.

"This is... what's going on?"

He was stunned to find that nearly one-third of the people in the city had become like this!

...

In a gray and dead space, Amon's avatar, who was fighting Bibi Dong, suddenly fell into a daze.

Bibi Dong seized the opportunity and swung the Rakshasa Magic Scythe to cut it in half neatly.

She frowned beautifully, revealing a hint of doubt: "What happened just now? Amon seems to be a little strange."
