Chapter 3742 A Special Fate
"Fate is a double-edged sword. Many diviners in the First Age knew this, but knowing it does not mean truly understanding it."
However, the fickle nature of fate means anything can happen. If you intend to use the method of 'a single individual resonating with multiple rings' to deal with Mr. Snake, you can also explore possibilities that no one has ever discovered before. For example, perhaps there exists a unique destiny that allows the holder of that destiny to borrow the destiny of others. After all, no one knows what other wonderful stories will unfold on the stage.
Ms. White said this, then the snake's head turned slightly to the right, looking towards a distance that neither Shad nor Iluna could see:
"There's been pollution on the snow-capped mountain again. Let's end this meeting here. You can ask one last question."
"Our next meeting will likely be a long time coming. I'd better not show myself so frequently before Act VII. Now that Mr. Serpent's power has spread beyond the temple, I must be wary of it. I don't mean to emphasize my importance, but I absolutely cannot afford to get into trouble."
"You can ask."
Iluna gave the opportunity to Shad, but Shad grabbed Iluna's shoulder and looked up at the white snake:
“Ms. White, you and I both have the ability to see through fate, and you see even more than I do. So please help me see if there is anything unique about Iluna’s fate? I’m not referring to the Ring of Fate she possesses, nor to her status as a chosen one, but rather whether her fate as Iluna Bayas, as an individual, is unique.”
The snake then looked at Iluna. Iluna was a little embarrassed, but she did not object to the snake observing her.
Ms. White gave a reply in a short time:
"She is absolutely dazzling."
After a slight pause:
“The stage lights shone for her, and she herself radiated light. Even if this wasn’t her story, she seemed more like the protagonist than all the other candidates. Yes, I understand.”
The snake said to Shad:
"There are always some ordinary people who are born with special destinies that others do not have. Although not all destinies can be realized in the end, those who seize the opportunity and take the initiative to embrace their destiny often go further than others."
Miss Beas is dazzling; she's a natural-born star, born to stand in the spotlight. Yes, that's why she was able to resonate with both rings more effectively than anyone else. Though she's not the protagonist in the story of destiny, she will still shine on the world stage in the future.
Iluna became increasingly embarrassed. Although she also liked being praised, the eighteen-year-old girl was still quite reserved.
But the snake said again:
"On this island, there is actually another girl with a very special destiny. Summoner, that girl doesn't come here with you very often, because her destiny is only complete when she is combined with another person, so even I didn't notice her special nature at first."
That fate was bestowed upon them by the world, but it seemed they had almost completely abandoned it. However, if they were willing to confront their destiny anew, and once their own ring of fate coalesced, Mr. Snake would likely face serious trouble. The girl had long golden hair and emerald eyes; she…
"I see."
Shad interrupted the snake, and Iluna keenly noticed that Shad's voice was somewhat cold:
"Since they have already relinquished their destiny, then let's not make them face it again. People choose their destiny, not the other way around. A special destiny is also a heavy burden, and not everyone can face it like Iluna."
The snake nodded in understanding:
“Yes, then see you next time, Summoner, Miss Beas. Unless there is a very urgent matter, I will not appear again before Act VII.”
"See you next time, Ms. White."
Iluna and Shad bid it farewell, and the snake's head sank back into the icy lake, merging with the water veins.
Iluna glanced at Shad's expression, then asked:
"Ms. White was referring to Dorothy and Princess Lacey at the end, wasn't she?"
Iluna and Luvia were among the few who had heard a little about the writer and the princess from Shad, and Shad hadn't hidden anything from them:
"You know what the words Iluna, Redemptor, and Savior mean, right?"
"Of course I know, they all mean savior or savior."
"This is Dorothy and Lacey's middle name."
Xia De said, and the eighteen-year-old girl nodded, no longer continuing the topic:
"But since Ms. White also has no way to bring together destiny, we can only passively wait for destiny to appear."
“Fate will come to us on its own, Iluna, I have absolute faith in that.”
The two then flew into the air together to meet Winnie. This was the last important thing Shad did on Friday afternoon; he hadn't slept all night and now finally had a chance to rest. After returning to the ship, Shad went to his room to sleep, and when he opened his eyes again, he was woken up by Matilda before dinner.
"Would you like to sleep a little longer? The lady said you could sleep a little longer if you wanted to continue resting."
The maid from Moon Bay asked with some concern. Shad sat up, clutching his head, and glanced at the sunset outside the porthole:
"No need, I'm getting up now. I think I had a strange dream."
"What did you dream about?"
The beautiful blonde maid asked curiously, but Shad shook his head blankly:
"I think I agreed to some conditions from two people, and I made a promise to them, but I don't remember what it was."
Matilda then said:
"Then don't think about it. If the dream is important, you'll remember it sooner or later. However, Tifa once taught me a way to get rid of headaches after waking up."
She bent down and kissed Shad, then winked at him after a moment:
"feel better now?"
"Of course. Did you just eat fruit?"
"Yes, that's a technique Tifa taught me."
"Meow~"
The cat beside the pillow had also woken up. Leaning on the pillow, the kitten lowered its head, its tail held high, and stretched. Dinner was about to begin; the cat had had a happy day.
After having dinner on the ship, Shad, reminded by the girls to "go to bed early tonight and not stay up late," returned home with Dorothy. Shad didn't linger at home; after saying goodbye to Dorothy, he appeared at Midhill Castle, and after entering the city, he went through the Serpentheart Hospital to the sacrificial site atop the mountain.
By this time, it was completely dark. Looking up at the starry sky from such a high mountain peak, the sea of stars seemed almost within reach.
Unsurprisingly, Sister Daphne, who missed the fifth act, was still in the underground sacrificial site. However, this time she wasn't kneeling beside the brazier with the greatsword stuck in it, but rather standing beside the brazier with her arms clasped together in front of her and her head bowed.
The firelight below caused the beautiful face wearing a silver eye patch to constantly shift between light and shadow. She appeared to be asleep standing up. Sister Daphne's ethereal and even somewhat fragile temperament was more pronounced than usual at this moment.
When Shad took the silver ring from the fire, the nun immediately recognized it:
"The Ring of Fate - Death. Predestined Death."
Next, Shad's deep voice recounted the events that had occurred since early this morning. Sister Daphne already knew Father Augustus's secret, so Shad explained in detail the origin of the ring:
“Sister, as one of the chosen ones of death, you should be able to resonate with it, shouldn’t you?”
The ring was handed over by Shad, and when the nun's hands, covered in burn scars, held it up, the Ring of Fate indeed appeared from the steam behind her.
However, the nun's twelve life rings are now covered with cracks, and within the cracks is the light of the primordial fire. Shad remembers that the nun's life rings did not look like this before.
"With this, I can advance to the thirteenth ring within a week."
The nun spoke softly, the light emanating from the ring in her hand swirling with the flames in the brazier below.
Xia De breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's wonderful. With that, the Dark Chosen are dead, and the remaining seven Knowledge are still in the arrows, making it six. Of the six remaining Chosen, you and the Earth's Guardians will all have reached the thirteenth ring. Luvia said that when all thirteen Chosen appear and all the survivors reach the thirteenth ring, that will be the end of the story."
Mr. Albert of Moon Bay said that when his true form emerged from the statue, he would immediately advance to the thirteenth ring; Emilia and Iluna, although starting at lower levels, are also making steady progress. And with Sister Daphne about to advance, things seem to be going very smoothly.
The nun said:
"The final ascension will take place in death, and once this process begins, one cannot leave until it is completed. On Fatumunst Island, is my power still needed?"
"It's alright, the witches and I can handle everything. Besides, even if other things happen within a week, aren't there still the Guardians of the Earth and Mr. Albert?"
Sister Shad put her mind at ease:
"The next act, the sixth act, is the Grand Symphony of Destiny, the Prophet's Association's main event. We plan to take this opportunity to rest a bit; everyone has been exhausted lately from investigating the Lustful Ones. Sister, then begin your ascension. We all look forward to your reappearance in a completely new guise; it will surely surprise everyone."
Oh, I almost forgot about this, look, new firewood.
The half-sword, a black fragment, given to him by the doctor, was taken out by Shad. This wasn't the broken blade from the entanglement between the Lustful One and the Baron, but rather the remnant of the weapon's demonic essence. Although its demonic nature was partially severed, the powerful outer shell remained intact. Such a powerful demon could certainly make the flames burn even brighter.
As for the Demon King's blood, Shad had no intention of showing it to the nun. The First Flame was still incomplete, and there was no need for the flame to come into contact with such a dangerous substance at this moment. The blood could remain under the care of Priest Augustus.
