Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1539 Desperate Situation

In the cramped cell, frost covered Lin Yu's surroundings and completely enveloped the [Ancient Notebook], freezing it so that it looked as if its surface was covered with a transparent ice shell, turning it into "the [Ancient Notebook] frozen in ice".

Although the Frost Authority had not completely suppressed the Information Authority at this moment, it was clear from the surrounding situation that the Authority, which was personally wielded by the gods, had indeed temporarily gained some advantage in this confrontation between "authorities".

Both sides' authority is sealed. One side is a materialized entity of unknown origin, sealed and transformed into a "tool" for the "Death Game." The other side is in the divine kingdom of the "God of Fairness and Judgment," but is suppressed by another god, and the power they can exert and the influence they can create are limited.

Therefore, the key to victory in this battle of power lies in... who holds and manipulates that power.

Lin Yu was also self-aware.

He knew from the beginning that he could not possibly defeat a true god in this field.

at the same time……

At this moment, when the power of "information" was at a disadvantage, Lin Yu also realized something.

Regarding why the Frost God suddenly emphasized the difference between "mortals and gods".

Because the Frost God himself was not significantly affected when the powers of "Frost" and "Information" were intertwined.

but……

At this very moment, Lin Yu, whose body was shaped by the [Ancient Notes] and whose soul resided within this materialized authority, could indeed feel it vividly…

The effects of the "Frost" authority, which was originally covered by the "Information" authority, once again appeared on him.

Because now……

The authority over information itself is also affected by the frost!

Although his soul had not yet stagnated and solidified again, Lin Yu already felt a bone-chilling cold.

"Truly worthy of being called...a god!"

"Even as a prisoner, he is more difficult to deal with than other prisoners."

Lin Yu stared at the God of Frost and praised him softly.

His voice trembled slightly from the overwhelming chill.

The Frost God noticed Lin Yu's trembling and heard his trembling voice, so he became even more composed.

“You’ve done very well…you certainly have something to be proud of.”

"To have endured this long before the gods, you are indeed an outstanding mortal—after all, you haven't even touched the realm of demigods, yet you can invoke the power of an authority."

"But... that's all there is to it."

The God of Frost looked at Lin Yu and slowly walked forward: "In the end, you will become my 'nourishment' and my 'shortcut' to leave this place. I really have to say that the timing is perfect. Even the 'God of Fairness and Judgment' is too busy to take care of himself, and you just happened to appear... which has really saved me a lot of trouble."

Lin Yu listened to the words of the God of Frost and sighed, "Is it possible that it was because of my appearance that the God of Fairness and Judgment encountered a situation where he was 'overwhelmed'? This is not a 'coincidence' at all, but a strong causal relationship."

The Frost God nodded: "Then I should thank you even more... In any case, I still recommend that you do not resist—although I need to take your soul and your identity, if you do not resist me, you may still retain some of your own consciousness."

Lin Yu stared at him: "Do you think I would believe that?"

The Frost God spoke in a low voice: "That's true... but it's alright, your resistance won't cause me too much trouble."

"After all, no matter how gifted one is, a mortal is still just a mortal."

As the God of Frost spoke, Lin Yu chuckled softly.

"That's not necessarily true—although I am a mortal, it doesn't mean I'm powerless to fight back in this situation."

The Frost God shook his head slightly as he listened to Lin Yu's somewhat confident statement.

"It seems you still don't understand the dire situation you're in right now."

The deity in the cage spoke in a low voice, his hands clasped together in front of his chest.

"Shh-!"

Instantly, Lin Yu felt the temperature plummet, and even the air he breathed became so cold that it stung his lungs as if it contained ice particles. The surrounding walls and floors were instantly covered with a layer of transparent frost.

Even though the scale was somewhat reduced and confined to the cells and corridors, Lin Yu could still sense it.

The Frost God is now unfolding...

It is the real, genuine kingdom that belongs entirely to Him.

Even under the oppression of this "eternal cage," He managed to create, at the very least, His own divine kingdom.

This is indeed a power that only gods can possess!

And within this country...

Nothing can escape the perception of the Frost God.

He looked at the edge of the divine kingdom, the exit behind Lin Yu, where the originally abstract "energy" was outlined by the condensed "frost," and admired the chaotic frost lines that resembled an abstract painting. He sighed.

"Is your only hope 'calling for help'? How naive... How could I possibly let your call for help succeed?"

The power released by Lin Yu was frozen and trapped within the divine kingdom by this "frost".

His hidden "spiritual power" and the "true essence" he had just cultivated were exposed to the frost and solidified in place.

The Frost God said in a low voice, "It seems you have met the two from the Fog Island Realm and the Prison Mountain Realm, and got along quite well with those two guys... Well, after all, they have already resigned themselves to their fate and have no intention of escaping this cage. It is reasonable that you were able to persuade them."

"However, you are being far too wishful thinking to ask them for help—even if they were willing to break the rules and leave the cell for you in this cage, they do not hold any authority and are certainly no match for me."

“Especially your ‘true essence’… it’s far too crude. This ‘plea for help’ is almost certain to be discovered—are you trying to use it as bait to conceal your true purpose of requesting help with your ‘spiritual power’? How naive!”

“Even if the two of them came together, they wouldn’t be a match for me—let alone a single guy from Kirishima.”

The God of Frost spoke coldly, and Lin Yu's face showed despair when he saw that his plea for help had been blocked.

However, Lin Yu quickly composed himself. Although his eyes still held a look of despair and struggle, he looked at the God of Frost and uttered words that were almost provocative.

"Since you are so confident in your abilities and certain that you can easily defeat my two teachers, why did you block and freeze my request for help?"

"Could it be... that you're bluffing too?"

“Even if you are a god, you might not be able to defeat my two teachers—so, are you afraid?”

Lin Yu spoke.

The Frost God shook his head regretfully: "A clumsy attempt at provocation... You've really gone this far? You're even resorting to provocation now?"

"Very well, this is also a manifestation of your will to survive... It's true that trying it won't cost you anything," the Frost God said in a low voice, even seriously explaining what he considered to be "deliberate provocation." "In short, I don't care what your relationship is with those two experts from the Fog Island and Prison Mountain realms, or whether they would fight me to the death for you, because I am indeed stronger than them—there is a world of difference between gods and mortals, even prisoners who can be called 'demigods'."

“I froze your request for help simply to avoid any complications—after all, I have no idea what the situation is like on the 'God of Fairness and Judgment' side.”

"So, if the people you actually summoned cause me to miss something important and prevent me from leaving this 'eternal prison' smoothly... that's something I naturally don't want to see."

The God of Frost explained, gently raising his hand.

"Any other last words?"

Ice crystals began to spread along His raised fingertips, and Lin Yu nodded.

“There is indeed something else to say,” his voice trembled, as if from the cold or from fear. “I admit that I did underestimate the power of a god—because the probability of escaping from the hands of a god by chance was so high that I developed contempt for gods and thought that it was only natural for me to escape from their hands.”

"In fact, even a sealed god like you... is indeed an existence that is almost impossible for me to contend with..."

Lin Yu paused for a moment after saying this.

Then, he lowered his eyes and said, "Of course, Your Excellency, God of Frost... you have made similar mistakes as well."

"You're underestimating 'mortals' a bit too much."

The God of Frost frowned slightly upon hearing Lin Yu's sudden change of tone.

"Are you bluffing again? Stop struggling. It's useless no matter how much you struggle; it will only increase your pain!"

"Even if those two guys from Kirishima and Gokuyama show up, they can't save you!"

As He spoke, Lin Yu shook his head slightly.

"That's the part you've got wrong... I never expected those two to save me from you in the first place—of course I know very well that there's a difference between gods and demigods."

"Therefore, whether it is 'true essence' or 'spiritual power', they are just a pretext to attract your attention."

At this moment, there was no trace of fear or trembling in Lin Yu's words.

The despair and tension on his face had completely vanished—the exquisite expressions that had just fooled the Frost God had disappeared without a trace thanks to Lin Yu's masterful acting.

Instead, there is absolute calm and confidence.

"The only thing that can stand against authority is... other forms of authority."

“Now I understand why gods are so keen to seize new powers—because in this kind of confrontation, the side with multiple powers does have an advantage.”

The words fell behind the Frost God...

An old photograph quietly fell to the ground.

"Crack——!"

Within the divine realm, the flawless, transparent ice crystals and frost quietly cracked open, revealing a fissure.
