This Holy Knight is So Despicable!

Space is twisting.

Lette can clearly feel that everything before him is being sliced apart and then reorganized.

Oaths, bindings, agreements, or by whatever different names they are called, in essence, they are the same thing.

Entities powerful enough to reach a conceptual level find it hard to determine victory or defeat in their battles, let alone life and death.

The divine arena offers a solution.

Let the Favoured of the Gods slaughter each other; the victory or defeat of the Favoured indirectly determines the victory or defeat of the Gods, which can be considered a more civilized solution.

But some issues require a fight to the death! The arena, naturally, cannot satisfy everyone's needs.

Thus, a unique kind of ring was born.

With the world as a chessboard, constraints and oaths are set up, and within limited conditions, a bloody slaughter ensues to seek the final result.

Life and Death Chess, a long-existing duel means among conceptual-level strongmen.

This time, those fellows from the Gate of Truth have used the power of the Desecrated Temple as a base to construct a sufficiently perfect Chessboard World.

As the initiators of the Life and Death Chess, they are at a disadvantage in the setting of the chessboard, but this is also the bargaining chip that allows Lette to enter the Chessboard World.

Once Lette wins this game of Life and Death Chess, he will directly seize the lives of all the members of the Gate of Truth present.

If he fails, the result is the same.

It equates to the Gate of Truth's high-level members in the Netherworld betting their lives against Lette's life.

Seemingly, the other side's bet carries more weight, but Lette finds it uninteresting.

After all, he is confident that even without starting the Life and Death Chess, he can still annihilate the other side completely.

But, the chessboard world they have constructed seems quite interesting!

This makes him hesitate a bit.

After much deliberation, Lette finally chose to step into the Life and Death Chessboard World.

Besides being intrigued, he also wants to delve deeper into understanding the underlying tone of this world, which is the power of this Desecrated Temple.

Based on previous experiences, although the appearance of the Desecrated Temple might be similar, the power contained within it varies.

Lette is never quite at ease with letting Lilith absorb too much of the profane concept.

However, if Lilith wants to become stronger and advance further, this is a hurdle that cannot be avoided.

In that case, he would enter the game himself and thoroughly explore the source of the Chessboard World.

Using the combined power of so many conceptual-level strongmen from the Gate of Truth, he aims to completely unravel the secrets contained within the Desecrated Temple!

Using others as kindling to brew his own soup, why not?

Furthermore, just by singing songs and playing chess, he could stew the enemies in one pot.

Why refuse such a simple and convenient matter?

Lette has always prided himself on being scholarly; such a refined act cannot be shirked!

As Lette delved deeper, the surrounding space distortion gradually came to a halt. When his consciousness arrived in this world, he suddenly realized something was amiss.

"This is... a mechanical civilization!"

The Chessboard World is an imaginary world!

Lette entered it alone, while the enemy side had many members.

They worked together, weaving numerous constraints and rules for this world.

But due to the fairness of the Chessboard World, they couldn't enact overly excessive actions.

However, given their painstaking preparation and the fact that it wasn't their first time using such dirty tactics,

by leveraging their prior advantages and numerical superiority, they created a mechanical civilization capable of standing on its own.

Because mechanical civilization is not beneficial to either side, the Chessboard World skirts the rules by granting approval.

Mechanical civilization!

In the cognition of the Gods of the Gate of Truth, it is the imaginary world that most suppresses Lette's abilities!

They have studied Lette's previous behaviors and are very wary of his preaching ability, which is akin to meme pollution.

In their simulations, any world, any race, as long as it possesses intelligence, is very likely to be influenced by Lette's preaching, which could spark a wave and eventually ruin their advantageous situation.

Direct attack?

If they had the confidence to win head-on, they wouldn't go to the trouble of creating such an illusory world.

Creating bindings and oaths favorable to themselves would mean that Lette's side would equally enjoy the opportunity for enhancement.

The Chessboard World is fair; such loophole-exploiting behaviors would ultimately backfire!

They spared no effort, only to end up with two options.

Either they perished together, returning everything to the Barbaric Era, where all creatures are low-intelligence beasts!

But in that case, they would also lose the source of their power! Without bonuses, the problem returns to square one.

And entering a mechanical civilization would also severely harm the Gate of Truth's side.

After all, the entities in a mechanical civilization are even less than animals, and can hardly produce any power of faith.

But fortunately, the Gate of Truth possesses a wealth of knowledge reserves!

The so-called mechanical civilization, to some extent, bears similarities to the Mage paths of Secret Puppet, Magic Puppet, Magic Pattern Study, Mechanical Skill, Magic Machinery, and other knowledge!

Before the battle began, they collected all the knowledge within the categories related to these from the Gate of Truth organization.

Armed with core technology, as soon as they entered this imaginary world, they immediately began developing their forces significantly!

As alien gods, the Gate of Truth established Truth Heavy Industry, applying foreign knowledge into factories to start mass production of their own mechanical army.

"Everything is going smoothly!"

The Third Apostle nodded with satisfaction, watching the line continuously produce killing humanoid robots.

"Although it is the same world, in this godless place of desecration, Saint Lette will also lose all power, becoming an ordinary person!

Perhaps he still harbors the initial Divine Power within, but once it is entirely consumed, that will be the time of his death!

Hahaha, this strategy is truly ruthless! I like it!"

Next to him, the Tenth Apostle also grinned sinisterly: "Indeed, who would've thought that the Power of Profanation could be used this way?

To profane the existence of God, leading the world's development completely towards a godless direction!

Honestly, if I were alone in such a world, it would truly creep me out.

No faith, no God.

What utter desecration!"

"But what if he hides and never uses his divine power?"

Faced with a colleague's question, the Third Apostle knocked on a newly emerged killer machine from the line: "Do you think the tin cans we've made are for nothing?

These are all consumables, materials to wear down his divine power!

We just need to stay here, quietly waiting for him to exhaust his power and become mortal.

He's doomed!"

At this exact moment, Lette stood within the Chessboard World, with an exceptionally peculiar expression.

"... What is this novel way of suicide?"
