Chapter 1469: Chapter 638: The Pinnacle of Order_3

"..."

Mu You felt a pang of unease. The countdown timer beside him continued ticking, echoing in his ears. He urgently began rewinding time, attempting every possible operation he could think of.

Yet, no matter where he placed his pieces, he couldn’t trap those three black pieces.

Unable to make a move?

This was something Mu You had never anticipated.

The endgame was already in sight. He clearly held an overwhelming advantage—so why couldn’t he finish the match?

Mu You continued rewinding, observing the chessboard closely, but beads of sweat began forming on his forehead.

At last, he understood why he couldn’t checkmate his opponent’s last few pieces.

Throughout the game, his strategy to obliterate the Rune of Chaos relied on the characteristics of the Law of Order. He kept establishing rule after rule, fragmenting his opponent’s chaotic zones into smaller clusters, breaking them down piece by piece.

But therein lay the problem: the rules he’d created to restrict his opponent had simultaneously confined himself, step by step, within a labyrinth of constraints.

In simpler terms, it wasn’t that his opponent had played some brilliant move that rendered him unable to act.

It was Mu You himself who had locked away his own ability to act...

"Heh heh heh..."

At that moment, the silent Chaotic Avatar suddenly let out a string of laughter, laced with both mockery and ridicule.

"Do you see it now?"

"This is the difference between Order and Chaos—and the very reason why that God of Order lost both direct battles against my true form!"

"Order will never truly defeat Chaos!"

As the Shadow Man uttered those words, Mu You’s countdown timer hit zero—for the first time in this match, he skipped his turn.

Immediately afterward, the Shadow Man placed another black piece on the board.

The situation on the chessboard instantly flipped.

With just four isolated black pieces, it seemed as though they had reversed the tide, encircling hundreds of Mu You’s white pieces.

Within Mu You’s body, the Deviation Value surged by 20%!

"..."

But Mu You no longer had the time to pay attention to the chessboard. Instead, he stared at the opponent suspiciously: The God of Order had never won against the God of Chaos in their rivalry?

Though the Lamp God had mentioned several times that Chaos and Order corresponded to opposing Divine Powers, equal in stature—one righteous, one evil...

Mu You had always believed that if Chaos and Order truly battled for supremacy, the crown would belong to Order. After all, good ultimately triumphs over evil.

But the reality...

It was at this moment that Mu You finally understood why his opponent had exhibited an understanding of the rules so similar to his own earlier.

It wasn’t because their comprehension of laws was evenly matched; rather, his opponent had been deliberately holding back. Perhaps their aim was to guide him, leading him to witness this deadly stalemate at the culmination of an Order-dominated worldview—a moment that would thoroughly shatter him mentally.

"What’s wrong? Don’t believe me?"

The Shadow Man seemed to know what Mu You was doubting, sneering coldly. "I have no reason to deceive you. This is a truth repeatedly confirmed in direct battles between the God of Order and the God of Chaos: Chaos outranks Order in succession!"

"Because the epitome of Order—is lifeless stagnation!"

"A world where rules are taken to their ultimate extreme must inevitably become a dead world. Everything bound by Order’s constraints becomes lifeless and dull."

"Yet in reality, the true world is eternally increasing in entropy!"

"Order is destined to be but a fleeting coincidence. Chaos—is the eternal norm of this world!"

With the Chaotic Avatar’s bursts of cold laughter, the forces of Chaos on the chessboard began their counterattack from the brink of defeat.
