Chapter 3773 The Snake Yearning to Shed Its Skin
“I do not deny our cooperation with the Blood Spirit School.”
The "priest" of the "Assembly of All Things" said:
“But the one who is trying to make a deal with you, the Order of Doom, is not us.”
Shad didn't seem to care:
"That's alright, isn't the Cult of Doom on good terms with you?"
As he spoke, he looked at the archbishop of the Order of Doom, who nodded politely to him:
"Callerator, is all you want our promises and those messages?"
"Furthermore, I'd like to know what role the [Truth Society] played in the story of destiny. Wasn't it through the [Truth Society]'s connections that 'The Puppet Master's Script' went from the [Blood Spirit School] to the [Society of Oneness]?"
Chairman Le Norman looked over with great interest; this was information that even the prophets didn't know.
The "priest" exchanged a glance with his companion:
"We are willing to exchange information about the [Truth Society]. We want to use this information to exchange for the True God Church's help in forging a 'fake Ring of Destiny'."
"The deal between the Truth Society and you, and Miss Pavo's current location, is in exchange for a casting right. I can communicate with the church."
Xia De said that he had originally planned to negotiate the price with the other party, but he didn't expect the "priest" to nod directly:
"We have great faith in the credibility of those who invoke the gods."
The Truth Society brought in the Blood Spirit School for us and helped us obtain the angelic relic. In addition, they provided supplies and some information. In return, after the story of fate concludes, regardless of my victory or defeat, I must hand over the most valuable item from the temple's exchange list to the Truth Society.
The most expensive exchange option in the temple is undoubtedly the "Ring of Miracles." If the Truth Society is indeed seeking this, it not only means that they already knew about the Ring of Fate, but also that the Truth Society hopes to obtain an opportunity to wish for a miracle.
After all, the [Truth Society] did not participate in the story of fate and did not need the ring itself.
"As for Miss Pavo, the president of the Truth Society, she actually met me once on the night the War of the Lovers ended."
The "priest" looked at Xia De:
“Miss Paavo told me that if the Godcallers asked us for information about the Truth Society, they should ask me to pass on a message to you.”
"What?"
"The exact words were: 'Summoner of the gods, if you wish to meet me as before, how about this time in the Temple of Destiny?'"
President Le Norman glanced at Shad but said nothing, while Claire was somewhat angry that such a strange woman dared to speak like that.
Shad nodded. In the end, the story of the chosen ones of knowledge and wisdom concluded with the Truth Society obtaining a wisdom-enlightening insight; subsequently, they collaborated with Laplace Howard to acquire some strange technology.
Last summer, the Truth Society collaborated with the Lightwright Training Institute to obtain knowledge of human-form elementalization and light energy transmission technology. During the Battle of Vistalin, Miss Pavo asked Shad about the most suitable energy source. The best energy source is actually civilization itself, and she wanted to know what drives the development of civilization.
By sheer chance, Shad learned that Miss Pavo's enlightenment during the Battle of the Pantanal was related to the Difference Engine (Chapter 2797), and now she was also seeking the "Ring of Miracles." The outsider felt that he had already guessed what this ambitious and cunning lady was up to.
Although the [Assembly of Ten Thousand] provided information about the [Truth Society], they remained unwilling to reveal any information about the [Blood Spirit School]. The [Cult of Doom] even tried to persuade them to make a deal with Shad, but even so, the cultists who worshipped the god of probability still did not betray their allies.
An hour passed quickly, and the meeting of the candidates came to an end after Ms. White opened her eyes at the altar.
What followed was the final time before Act VII, but before Ms. White saw everyone off, President Le Norman took an ancient holy symbol from his pocket, radiating a strong element of miracles, and showed it to Ms. White:
"Madam, may we learn something from you about 'Mr. Serpent,' who was sealed here by the ancient gods? We are the successors of the ancient god's cult and hope to receive your guidance."
Whether it was the holy emblem he displayed or the identity he revealed that had an effect, Ms. White actually spoke, and the information she provided confirmed Shad's earlier guess:
"I don't know much about Mr. Snake's situation either. The only information I can provide is that the sacred relic, the Ouroboros Eye, was originally enshrined in this temple. After the snake usurped control of the temple, he obtained the Ouroboros Eye in the left eye, gaining the power to see and control the threads of fate."
Now, that unknowable relic resides within its left eye, through which it glimpses destiny. The act of seizing and destroying destiny by 'fulfilling mortal desires' also relies in part on the power of this relic.
Chairman Le Norman hesitated for a moment:
"Why do you say it's the left eye? According to the association's records, wasn't there only one of these unknowable-level relics? Could there also be a right eye? If there is a right eye, could it restrain Mr. Snake's power to see fate?"
Ms. White replied:
"The sacred relic, the Ouroboros Eye, is indeed divided into two parts, left and right, but the relic, the Ouroboros Eye, only has the left eye."
"The right eye didn't turn into a keepsake!?"
"The power of the right eye of the sacred object is equal to that of the left eye, but there are differences in its specific functions. If we can find the right eye, we can use its power to interfere with Mr. Snake's interpretation of fate."
She paused for a moment, and then said:
"After the seventh act, the final act will begin immediately, leaving no time for the candidates. So please make your final preparations, for the final battle of destiny is about to begin."
The next second, the thick fog swallowed everyone, and when the fog cleared, Shad found himself standing on the docks of Kyle Todd with Claire and Stella.
The Radiant Messenger is right next to them. Miss Elizabeth should have sensed their return and will lower the ladder soon.
"Long-distance teleportation? It should only be limited to within the island."
As he thought to himself, he turned around with the witch and the apprentice to look to the side, where Ms. White, with her crimson snake eyes, had also come with them.
Snowflakes fell gently, and although night was falling, the town was still lit up; the night was peaceful.
The woman in the white robe said to Shad:
"Mr. Snake has been standing behind that wall all night."
“I could guess. But I’m more curious, won’t Mr. Snake make a move against the five cards you’ve chosen? Although its true form is trapped on this island, its influence has long since spread throughout the world.”
Ms. White shook her head:
"The rules restrict it from touching the cards I choose. The rules of the world are still strong today, and the snake cannot break through such restrictions."
Then she said what she really wanted to say:
"Tonight is also the first time I've gone to the temple on the mountaintop since I woke up. It's true that Kamiizumi, who can help the candidates gather the Ring of Fate, is hidden. But Kamiizumi will definitely appear in the card game in Act VII. If you want other people besides the candidates to gather the Ring of Fate as well, you can prepare in advance."
This is indeed very crucial information:
“I understand. So, regarding Mr. Snake, Ms. White, are you able to ascertain its condition now?”
"I am no match for it now, so I will not set foot in that ruin before the start of the seventh act of the game. Just like the answer I gave in the temple just now, I don't know much about it either."
His crimson snake eyes stared at Xia De:
"You once asked me about the whereabouts of the First Flame. Considering that I may not have the chance to talk to you like this again once the seventh act of the story ends, I'm giving this to you in advance."
A white snake scale floated down in front of Shad:
"After Mr. Snake breaks the seal, the hidden place containing the Primordial Flame will not be accessible immediately. At that time, you will be able to directly sense the location of the Primordial Flame and use that to enter the hidden location directly."
Furthermore, the power used to assist in the sealing is definitely not just the Primal Flame. After Mr. Serpent breaks the seal, you can use this white serpent scale to take any other items or powers that are valuable to you.
Even Claire could tell:
“Ms. White, this sounds a bit like you’re making your final arrangements.”
The snake shook its head:
"I'm just worried that once I become part of the Ring of Fate, I won't have the chance to say these things anymore. Don't be sad for me, just as I've said before, even as Fate I will still exist, only in a different form."
It's late at night, and I have one last message. You are preparing to fight the snake, and Mr. Snake is also preparing to defeat you. I have a rough idea of its methods, and although it sounds unbelievable, everything makes sense if that's the case—it not only wants to break free of its seal, but also wants to undergo a metamorphosis.
Snakes can shed their skin to begin a new life, and Mr. Snake also wants to shed his current 'skin' and embrace a new destiny.
"What destiny?"
Shad asked, and Ms. White answered softly:
"It wants to become the fate of the Sixth Age, which is heading towards its end."
Shad was not surprised:
"If it can truly bring about the end of the First Age that should have occurred in this era, then it is certainly destined to be the end of the Sixth Age."
But Ms. White shook her head:
"That's not the same. You're saying that it defeated all the candidates in its current form and brought about the apocalypse, thus changing its destiny; but what I mean is that it wants to transform into a new destiny in order to defeat you and bring about the apocalypse."
The doomsday destiny of the First Age must dissipate, otherwise the doomsday destiny of the Sixth Age could not have been born. Therefore, the only way it can survive in this drama of destiny is to complete such a transformation in the final act. You are well prepared to overcome the doomsday destiny of the First Age, but if it successfully sheds its skin, the final battle will be extremely difficult.
Claire understood:
"So, Mr. Snake, what exactly do you want to do?"
"I don't know, maybe through some kind of symbolic ceremony. But with less than a week left until the final battle, there's no time left for more thorough preparation, both for you and for it. So do your best, and I believe you'll put on the most spectacular performance."
"The Summoner, we'll meet again in Act VII."
