CHAPTER 407: CHAPTER 329: IN THE NAME OF FATE_2

"At that moment,"

"The black mist roiled, as if an indistinct shadow from beyond the world was gradually taking form. The ’God of Pleasure and Violence’ was truly descending, pulling your attention fully to the Sky Dome, leaving no room for distractions."

"You did not accept my invitation to come to the Mysterious Town... An indescribable voice echoed from the ’God of Pleasure and Violence’. "

"I wanted to go, but you didn’t tell me how to enter the ’Mysterious Town’."

"You forcibly quelled the urge to snark, looked directly at the silhouette shrouded in black mist, and said gravely... Someone warned me to beware of the ’strange’."

"The ’God of Pleasure and Violence’ replied... A dream, isn’t it?"

"It seemed certain—indeed, there was a trace of the ’Dream Realm Sovereign’ on you, something even the ’Desolate Lady’ knew. It would make no sense for the Mysterious Town in the ’Nameless Land’ to remain unaware."

"Your heart jolted for a moment, but then you steadied yourself."

"Rather than respond directly, you activated the ’Circle of Friendliness’, and, with a sincere expression, said... Please grant me some face and leave this place. Refrain from interfering with Asgard’s matters anymore."

...

This utilized the ’God Slayer’ destiny title... The game character has basically become a practitioner of ’Face Fruit’ abilities.

Yang Qizhou grinned faintly at the corners of his mouth, his inner tension slightly relieved.

’God Slayer’: Destiny Title, ???-tier. Created by fate as a reward due to multiple gods, including the Divine Sovereign, perishing at the hands of the game character. Its effect is that regardless of ’gods’, ’Ancient Dominators’, ’Extraordinary Lives’, or ’Unknown Evils’, as long as there is no irreconcilable hatred, they are willing to grant face."

Back in the Land of Prayer Light, the game character used this ability to make the already-descended ’God of Pleasure and Violence’ leave. "

This time, the effect should not differ much.

Thinking this, Yang Qizhou continued refreshing the text."

...

"Based on the experience in the ’Land of Prayer Light’, merely using the ’God Slayer’ destiny title would suffice. However, for caution’s sake, you also employed the strength of the ’Circle of Friendliness’. "

"You hoped that, just like last time, the ’God of Pleasure and Violence’ would turn and leave."

"Unfortunately, this time you were disappointed. This god belonging to the ’Mysterious Town’, wielding the authority of ’Pleasure’ and ’Violence’, did not turn away but instead stayed put, speaking meaningfully..."

"Destiny is omnipotent, destiny is all-powerful, but you are not destiny."

"Next, you saw the indistinct shadow of the ’God of Pleasure and Violence’ twisting rapidly, morphing into a monster embodying both ’brutality’ and ’beauty’. Its aura began polluting the rules of the Real World."

"Looks like confrontation is unavoidable,"

"Your expression turned grim. You retrieved the ’Silver Holy Object’ and the ’Thunder Eye’, preparing to use the ’Storm God’s Scepter’ to confront the ’God of Pleasure and Violence’. As for the problems stemming from attracting the notice of the ’Wind Lord’ afterward, those would be reserved for handling other sudden events."

"This was something you had planned long ago."

"But just as you were about to act, a purple, ethereal ocean surged in, and a massive eye appeared. Everything around—trees, stones, evils, twisted lifeforms, and more—began swelling in their bellies."

"The divine spirit from the Dream Realm... Mother of Beauty and Fertility."

"You were genuinely surprised by Her arrival and dragged out ’Big White’, grumbling... Didn’t you say your mother couldn’t assist me in the Real World anymore? So what’s this about?"

"The fluffy ’Big White’ blinked, looking aggrieved... I only said my mom’s ’main account’ couldn’t interfere in the Real World on a large scale anymore, not that she couldn’t do anything."

"You fell into speechlessness, your mind reduced to one singular thought."

"Beat this brat to a pulp."

"Regardless, the ’Mother of Beauty and Fertility’ descended, impeded the ’God of Pleasure and Violence’, and spared you the use of the ’Storm God’s Scepter’ as a trump card, which was ultimately a relief."

"You watched as the ’God of Pleasure and Violence’ was swiftly submerged by the purple ocean and dragged into the ’Dream Realm’, engaging in fierce confrontation."

"Feeling more at ease, you shifted your focus back to the ’Ancient Roots’, grinning as you addressed the ’King of Nature’ within the green vortex... See? You’re not the only one with backup."

"The Ancient God King who founded the ’Radiant Kingdom’ and held dominion over the symbol of ’Nature’ evidently possessed some awareness of the outside events. On His distorted, phantasmal face was an expression of deep puzzlement... The Dream Realm within the ’Nameless Land’ actually placed its attention on you."

"The assimilation process had reached 5 minutes now, and at most another 15 minutes would suffice to genuinely shepherd the ’King of Nature’. "

"You suppressed the urge to mock and focused even harder on the shepherding process."

"Time ticked by."

"The ’King of Nature’ was no longer as coldly composed as He had initially been. A hint of panic was visible, as though truly sensing the encroaching crisis. His voice carried an air of frantic fury... Damn Blasphemous Wizard, don’t underestimate a pillar god who has stood at the apex of the cosmos for thousands of years! You think you can shepherd me? Don’t even dream of it."

"Your inner tension ratcheted up."

"The true form of the ’King of Nature’ had been stalled by the ’Desolate Mother’, while the ’God of Pleasure and Violence’ and ’Mother of Beauty and Fertility’ were locked in fierce combat. What other cards did He have up His sleeve?"

"As you contemplated, the green vortex, previously spinning rapidly, suddenly stagnated, and your shepherding intent imbued within the ’Ancient Roots’ began to stiffen."

"What’s going on?"

"Confusion flooded your mind, accompanied by an overwhelming sense of powerlessness."

"If another high-position divine being had intervened to rescue the ’King of Nature’, you still had many ways to respond. But this scenario caught you off guard; you had no idea how to react."

"It’s the ’Blasphemous Wizards’..."

"Right then, a vague, whisper-like murmur reached your ears. It was the ’Hidden Wizard King’, Itas, who said... For millennia, the ’King of Nature’ has controlled many blasphemous wizards as a means to mend His own flaws. Now, His true form has partially opened access to those ’Blasphemous Wizards’, voluntarily incorporating certain Ancient Roots, thereby contesting and delaying your shepherding progress."

"Such a method? You were genuinely shocked."

"You asked Itas... Why have you returned?"

"The power of the ’Mysterious Town’ was blocked by the strength of the ’Dream Realm’, so I am temporarily free from contamination... This was the explanation given by the ’Hidden Wizard King’. "

"You nodded to yourself. Although thus far you remained unsure of the ’Hidden Wizard King’s’ true motives for aiding you diligently despite having fallen, you were clear that, at least for now, He was firmly on your side, trustworthy without question."

"You hurriedly asked Him... How should I resolve this?"

"As someone who had once stood at the pinnacle of all ’Blasphemous Wizards’ and served the ’Lord of Blasphemy’, Itas naturally possessed profound understanding of the matter. He had prepared in advance and said... I can provide relevant assistance, but if you wish for the quickest resolution, you’ll need to invoke the name of ’Fate’."

"The name of ’Fate’?"

"You contemplated, hesitated briefly, but ultimately nodded in agreement..."

"Alright."

"After receiving your consent, the voice of the ’Hidden Wizard King’ vanished completely, and the ’handbook’ dimmed once again. Time passed, and then you noticed that the previously-stagnant green vortex was now spinning and surging once more, accompanied by the enraged roar of the ’King of Nature’..."

"Hidden one, how dare you betray me! Don’t forget..."
