Chapter 206: Guardian of the Art of Theater

“Looks like you’ve hit the jackpot again, old man!”

Fighting God glanced at the God of Theater and spoke up.

Shouldn’t it be the God of Martial Arts asking if they’re interested, as per the usual routine?

But the God of Theater had already shown interest multiple times, while he himself had only been interested once.

Thinking about it, he couldn’t help but feel a little envious.

After all, the feeling of enlightenment was absolutely exhilarating!

Beside them, the Star God remained calm and indifferent.

To him, the enlightenment the God of Theater was about to experience was trivial.

What kind of enlightenment could possibly compare to twenty years of future insights?

And if it were the God of Theater’s thirty years of insights, the God of Martial Arts, true to his nature, would never approach it with something as casual as “interest.”

It seemed the God of Theater’s future insights were still on their way!

“Yuanbao, time to get to work!”

Su Wen focused his thoughts and sent a mental message to Yuanbao, “Project the scene of the God of Theater’s downfall!”

Without hesitation, Yuanbao activated his power to create a Time and Space Projection.

“Hum!”

A ripple appeared, and a Time and Space Projection unfolded before everyone, like a massive banner being unfurled.

This was also an upgrade to Yuanbao’s Time and Space Projection; he had adjusted the dimensions after studying the screen ratios used in cinemas.

After all, this projection was an application of his ability. If the God of Wealth enjoyed it and felt something from it, then there would be hope for his future, right?

The God of Theater stared at the Time and Space Projection, slightly puzzled.

Wasn’t it supposed to be his Body Refinement Method?

Well, he was still quite interested in the future scene being projected.

Especially since the God of Martial Arts had specifically asked him about it, it suggested that the upcoming visuals might have a significant connection to him.

Could it be the appearance of his future enemy?

Or perhaps a message he left behind?

Meanwhile, in the Time and Space Projection,

Above an endless black ocean, waves roared and storms raged.

Surrounded by various theatrical instruments, the God of Theater radiated immense power, causing the sky to churn with energy.

“Thief of the art of theater, today, as the guardian, I sentence you to death!”

A commanding voice boomed from above, “And after your death, your vile and greedy soul will be hung on the icy cliffs of the Nine Heavens, never to find peace for all eternity!”

As the voice echoed, dramatic phenomena began to rise around them.

The power of the art of theater, which should have been controlled by the God of Theater, was now in the hands of a powerful being who claimed to be a guardian and stood high above all.

“Boom————”

A thunderous explosion echoed as fierce attacks began, and the God of Theater unleashed a terrifying force.

Every time the guardian thought the God of Theater couldn’t hold on any longer, the God of Theater always managed to erupt with even greater power, conjuring stronger and more lethal divine techniques.

A series of deadly moves left the onlookers utterly dazzled.

Finally, the God of Theater seized the perfect moment, bursting forth with several times more power than before, instantly slaying the guardian.

As the guardian died, the heavens seemed to weep in sorrow, as if the sound of crying echoed from the sky.

But the next moment, five powerful guardian figures appeared.

In the Time and Space Projection, the God of Theater fought desperately. After more than an hour of battle, he was captured by the combined forces of the five guardians, his body destroyed and his soul extracted and sealed away.

Everything seemed tragically bleak.

After watching the Time and Space Projection, the God of Theater fell into silence.

After a moment, he looked up and said, “Those beings who call themselves guardians can harness some of the power of rules.”

“In other words, they use this power of rules—no, the power of the rules of the art of theater—to suppress the Theater World that I control.”

“Otherwise, based on the strength of the ‘me’ in the projection, the five guardians should have been destroyed by me!”

Su Wen looked at the God of Theater and asked, “Sir, do you know anything about these so-called guardians?”

Surely, he should know himself best.

From the flashy techniques in the projection, it seemed he had hidden a great deal of power!

After all, the fact that he didn’t show shock at those flashy moves suggested he had some understanding of them.

Especially since he pointed out that the Theater World technique was ineffective, which itself indicated a significant issue.

“I don’t know.”

The God of Theater shook his head and said, “I’ve never even heard of such guardians, and the fact that they call themselves guardians of the art of theater seems a bit absurd.”

“A guardian dares to judge a god?”

“Isn’t that ridiculous?”

At this point, the God of Theater paused for a moment, then continued, “Of course, we need to analyze this from an objective and rational perspective to arrive at the most genuine answer.”

“First, it could be true what the guardians are saying.”

“We fate bearers might be seen as thieves, but I find that hard to believe.”

“From my experiences visiting various tribes’ Libraries over the years, the fate bearer lineage has a history rich in glory.”

“It’s just that, for some reason, the legacy of the fate bearers has been severed.”

“Had it not been severed, my strength would surely not be stuck at the Emperor Level.”

“So if those guardians are real, then they’re essentially stealing from those they’re supposed to guard.”

“When they noticed my strength wasn’t as formidable as they expected, they developed a desire to seize and torment me.”

“Hmm… Judging by their skillful use of the rules of the art of theater, these guardians must have a certain understanding of the art of theater and divine positions.”

“Perhaps by killing me, they aim to take the divine position I hold.”

“This explanation might make more sense.”

Suddenly, the Star God said, “What you say is quite reasonable, but it doesn’t rule out the possibility that we truly are thieves.”

“Even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance, we should analyze this matter.”

“If that’s the case, then our situation… might become even worse.”

“We don’t know why they call us thieves, nor do we know about the ancient hidden secrets. We don’t even understand the strength of the guardians pursuing us.”

“And most importantly, if there are guardians of the art of theater, there must also be guardians of the Star Path and guardians of the Fighting Path.”

“If the guardians of the art of theater develop selfish intentions to seize the divine position of the God of Theater, then this situation could be problematic.”

“After all, among so many divine position guardians, surely there are some who don’t harbor selfish intentions?”

“It’s not that I’m saying it’s impossible for all the guardians chosen by the Gods to have issues, but the likelihood is just too low.”

“Of course, if that’s truly the case, then we’re just unlucky!”

Listening to the words of the Star God and the God of Theater, Fighting God slightly lowered his head in thought.

“Fighting God, do you have any different perspectives?”

The God of Theater turned to look at Fighting God.

Deep in thought, Fighting God began to ponder, which was quite good.

“I’m thinking, when we encounter those guardians in the future, should we just shoot them first?”

Fighting God raised his head and asked tentatively.

The God of Theater: “?”

Star God: “??”

Did Fighting God just ignore everything they had discussed?
