Chapter 1057: I See It on His Face

Sss... This feeling?!?!

Seemingly sensing something, Dongya's expression behind the mask suddenly changed, and he shot up from his seat, startling the White Snake Masked Man.

"What are you doing?"

After shielding the chessboard that had been knocked askew, the White Snake Masked Man glared at him with a frown.

"Don't cheat; just roll the dice! I only have three more moves to finish, you—"

Finish what?!

Coming back to his senses after hearing the White Snake Masked Man's words, Dongya swept his hand across the chessboard, his face dark as night, and shouted:

"Why keep playing? Something's happened!!"

"Oh."

Facing Dongya's outburst, the White Snake Masked Man glanced at him, then asked lazily:

"Whatever could have made you react like this must be about the God of Food again... What's the story this time? Did he conquer the Abyss? Or rescue the Nine Archangels? Or maybe win against the Azure Sovereign and the Crimson Sovereign?"

"Worse! At least twice as bad... No! Ten times worse!!!"

Feeling the immense power surging within him and the overwhelming truth resonating from the depths of the world, Dongya's face turned ashen as he roared:

"I've grown stronger! I've grown stronger again!"

"?"

Are you crazy?

Seeing Dongya suddenly lose his mind in the middle of their game, the White Snake Masked Man rolled his eyes and said with a sour tone:

"Great, you're impressive... But our time is locked in the same day, so nothing can change, and you're the only one who can... Wait!"

After absentmindedly replying, the White Snake Masked Man suddenly realized what was happening and his eyes widened.

"You mean you've grown stronger... in your own power, or the 'World's Principle' you've mastered has grown stronger, pulling you along with it?!"

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

"Sss..."

After hearing Dongya's response, the White Snake Masked Man couldn't help but draw a sharp breath, then asked in shock:

"What's going on? How much has the World's Principle you've mastered grown?"

"How much... Let me explain it this way!"

After a moment's thought, Dongya's lips quivered as he began to speak:

"Before I ascended to a Pillar Deity, I mastered two powers: Calamity's Grasp and Chaos Weaving. After encountering the God of Food, I found him to be the very source of chaos and calamity, so I instinctively wanted to stay away from him. That's why, after my ascension, I mastered the truth of Calamity Aversion..."

"I know that, get to the point!"

"This is the point!"

Glaring at the White Snake Masked Man, who was urging him, Dongya continued:

"As I said, my truth is based on Calamity. So, if Calamity is a flood, then my Calamity Aversion is a small boat that ensures safety in the flood.

Among the flood, the small boat, and the safety it provides, the only constant is the safety of Calamity Aversion. This means that the stronger and more intense the flood, the more my boat grows, becoming larger and more robust.

But just now..."

"Your power suddenly increased, and the small boat turned into a large ship?"

"Directly into an island..."

"???"

"And not just any island, but one that rises high above sea level, accessible only by flight—a supermassive island!"

Using his hands to make several abstract gestures, Dongya tried to describe his feelings as best he could, his face pale:

"In terms of strength, I might already be on par with the Crimson Sovereign... You know the World's Principle never makes mistakes. Since it has strengthened me so drastically, it means something major has happened at Heavenly Mountain, and the Calamity has been reinforced even more terribly!"

"..."

"..."

"So..."

After a moment of silence with Dongya, the White Snake Masked Man said with a complex expression:

"Compared to when he tried to kill us, has the God of Food become even stronger?"

"Or maybe he was provoked."

Dongya fidgeted and gestured nervously:

"You don't understand the Calamity Aversion. This disaster is different from ordinary ones. The magnitude of the disaster caused by the God of Food isn't necessarily tied to his strength; it's more about his thoughts and intentions.

To put it simply, his flood was originally more restrained. He might have only wanted to flood a small city and retreat, but after being provoked, he might have changed his mind in a fit of anger and now plans to flood an entire country, or even a continent."

"I think I understand..."

After struggling to grasp Dongya's abstract description, the White Snake Masked Man turned his head to look at the main hall of Yesterday's Abode...

On the table where they usually held meetings, a dense celestial map was floating. At the center of the map, two overlapping black and white stars represented Heaven's Mountain and the Abyssal Hundred Hells.

"Your point is that Lords Azure King and Crimson King must have done something at Heaven's Mountain that thoroughly enraged the God of Food?"

"That's the only explanation..."

Following the White Snake's gaze to the celestial map in the main hall, Dongya's face turned pale as they said:

"Although I don't know what happened, I once..."

"Enough, stop thinking about it. Let's continue the game."

"???"

"What are you looking at me for?"

Rolling his eyes at the stunned Dongya, the White Snake leaned back in his chair, his expression indifferent:

"I've already been killed by the God of Food. Now I'm just a bit of residue left in the past. No matter how big the Calamity Aversion gets, what does it matter to a mere scrap like me?"

"..."

"And I advise you not to panic either."

Leisurely setting the chess piece he had knocked over back in place, the White Snake Masked Man, who had long resigned himself to his fate, handed over the dice and calmly reminded:

"Whatever happened at Heaven's Mountain is probably related to Lords Azure King and Crimson King. There's no point in you being paranoid here. Just wait and ask them when they return."

You have a point...

After hearing the White Snake Masked Man's advice, Dongya's tense expression eased slightly. They took the dice, rolled them on the chessboard, and moved the piece according to the number. But they couldn't help but look troubled and said:

"The main issue is that my World's Principle isn't always effective. If the God of Food gets close and tears it apart..."

"They're back."

"Huh?"

Dongya was taken aback and turned to look at the main hall. The celestial map on the table began to glow.

Then, the green and red light points representing Heaven's Mountain flickered several times and burst into a bright light, completely overshadowing the floating celestial map. The projections of the Azure and Crimson Kings appeared, and as soon as they did, Dongya's exclamation of shock echoed through the room.

"Damn!!!"

"What's wrong?"

Glancing at the horrified Dongya, the White Snake Masked Man leaned over, his eyes filled with curiosity, and asked softly:

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

"On his face..."

Dongya rubbed their eyes hard, making sure they weren't hallucinating. They stared at the main hall, where the Heavenly Cicada of All Things, his face covered in malevolent aura, was barely recognizable. Dongya's voice dropped to a fearful whisper:

"His face is filled with death!!!"
