Ring of Fate

Chapter 1035: The Power of Everyone
Ms. Justice did not give up, and once again wove a new identity for Gehrman Sparrow.

At this time, dark shadows emerged from the thin gray fog outside the dream city. They swam quickly towards the passage opened by the "Magician", causing the "door" to vibrate violently and shrink on its own.

Ms. Magician fought hard to prevent the door to the dream from closing and Ms. Justice's attempt to weave the dream image of Gehrman Sparrow from being interrupted.

Mr. "The Hanged Man", who had put down his liquor long ago, cast his gaze over here, and he had a blasphemy card in his hand.

Tyrant card!

Boom!

Thunder roared suddenly, and layers of entangled silver-white lightning struck the dark shadows in the thin gray mist, causing them to twist and struggle and dissipate, unable to get close to the passage opened up by the "Magician" lady.

Ms. Justice remained unaffected and continued to weave the dream image of Gehrman Sparrow.

Inside the altar, when the image of Gehrman Sparrow created by the "Mysterious Reappearance" was temporarily stabilized by countless anchor points, Mr. "Star" who was originally standing by the window walked towards this side step by step.

As he walked, he recited:

"Like a petrel, flying without yielding,

"Know the storms, conquer the seas,

"Force them to be quiet,
"Turning peace into strong wine..." (Note 1)

As the poem echoed, the sunlight in the room suddenly dimmed, as if dark clouds had floated in.

Gehrman Sparrow on the altar closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Now, he also began to dream.

It is a nightmare and also hope.

Seeing this scene, Mr. "Moon", who had been quietly enduring the scorching sun, lifted up the black cloak behind him, like a giant bat spreading its wings.

He flew to the starlight gate opened by the "Magician" lady, flew into the illusory passage, and arrived outside the hole leading to the dream city.

He did not try to enter again, but turned around, stretched out his hands, and created out of thin air an illusory and hazy door engraved with many mysterious symbols.

This is the "Gate of Summoning", the "Gate of Summoning" of the "Moon" Path Sequence 3 "Master Summoner".

The person Mr. Moon wants to summon is Gehrman Sparrow, the Gehrman Sparrow currently on the altar!
The next second, he opened his mouth and chanted the corresponding honorific name and specific summoning spell in ancient Hermetic language:
“The followers of the spirit world and Sefirah Castle;
“From the ancient mysteries;

“A witness to a long history;

“The angel who redeemed the world;

“The protector of all needy children;
"The great Gehrman Sparrow..."

In this call to falsehood, all the honorable names must be pronounced.

When the subsequent spells began to resound, the illusory and hazy door suddenly opened, revealing the boundless darkness dotted with stars and flying shadows.

But what disappointed Mr. Moon was that the image of Gehrman Sparrow on the altar just turned sideways without any other movement.

The power of reality seems to be preventing this falsehood.

…………

The Yangdu High-speed Railway Station was half shrouded in darkness.

Lumian looked at Zhou Mingrui and said to himself:

"All of this is based on Mr. Fool's arrangements and is the guidance of fate.

“Since Mr. Fool has sealed you, the Heavenly Venerable, with the self-image of Zhou Mingrui, awakening the Fool is equivalent to awakening the Heavenly Venerable before he truly gains a greater advantage. Therefore, what we need is not awakening, but to create a ‘world’ out of thin air in the dream, Gehrman Sparrow.

"Only in this way can he not be the product of the fusion of Mr. Fool and your consciousness, Tianzun, and only then can he be pure and uncontaminated.

"His origin is the anchor point of Gehrman Sparrow's followers, the recognition of Gehrman Sparrow by a large number of people in the real world and the dream city, and the understanding of Mr. Fool by the major arcana cards of the Tarot Club. It does not involve you, the Supreme.

"This is equivalent to Mr. Fool dragging you into a deep sleep, and then, with the help of others, creating an identity that is highly related to him and can exist stably, to take charge of the authority on his behalf. The gradual strengthening of this identity will help him use the corresponding authority to gain an advantage, and ultimately truly seal you and wake you up on his own.

“This is the correct interpretation of the prophecy ‘When the world awakens, the fools return’.

"You have been on guard against this aspect, which is why you replaced the dream image related to Gehrman Sparrow and sent your men to infiltrate the Church of the Fool, trying to make the final Gehrman Sparrow point to you instead of Mr. Fool.

"In that case, it will become 'The world wakes up, and the God returns'."

Zhou Mingrui smiled calmly twice:

"What if your judgment and choice are wrong?"

Lumian shrugged and said:
“If it’s wrong, it’s wrong.

“I never thought I could succeed in anything I did, instead I always thought of myself as a failure.

“Failure is not terrible. The failure of the Major Arcana cards has paved the way for us. Our failure will also help the future lucky gold coin holders eliminate wrong answers and point out the right direction. This attempt will definitely delay the time for you to achieve victory.

"In the days to come, there will be more and more lucky gold coin holders who will come and stand on our shoulders, continue to climb, and look further, until the end of the world truly comes."

At this point, Lumian smiled at Zhou Mingrui:
“This is very similar to a sentence I learned in Dream City:

"Success does not have to be mine, success must be mine!"

Zhou Mingrui was silent.

…………

Trier, in a luxurious villa, in Franca's bedroom.

Ms. Justice suffered another failure and wove the image of Gehrman Sparrow's dream for the third time. Mr. Hanged Man continued to use lightning to prevent the shadows in the gray fog from approaching the "door", while Mr. Moon repeated the summoning spell.

Gehrman Sparrow, who was standing on the altar with his eyes closed, shook his body, trying to respond to the call in his dream, but he could not overcome the real power.

At this moment, transparent insects that seemed to have twelve links crawled out from around Mr. Xingxing's green eyes.

They quickly formed a complex occult symbol.

A symbol of fraud!
Almost at the same time, Lady Judgment approached the altar and said in ancient Hermetic language:
"Reality is diminishing here, while illusion is increasing!"

Suddenly, the air in the bedroom froze.

Gehrman Sparrow's figure first disappeared on the altar, then crossed the mysterious and hazy summoning door and appeared in front of Mr. "Moon", appeared in the passage opened by Ms. "Magician", and appeared outside the hole leading to the dream city.

Soon after, Gehrman Sparrow's destination was also "deceived".

This character image created by the "mysterious reappearance", a large number of anchor points, and nightmare power flashed and flew towards the dream city.

Suddenly, in the dark void beyond the gray fog, human figures emerged.

They bypassed the lightning storm and rushed towards the "door" opened by the "Magician" lady, and rushed towards Gehrman Sparrow.

At this critical moment, no Major Arcana card can be free or stop it in time.

Ms. Judgment couldn't help but look out the window.

Ms. Tinicole and Ms. Sharon are here too, preparing for any unexpected events. Will they be able to take action in time?

A moment later, the "Magician" saw a lighter fog spreading outside the gray fog, and there seemed to be a wilderness and a river inside the fog.

The figures flying towards Gehrman Sparrow crashed into the fog and disappeared suddenly.

Finally, Gehrman Sparrow, carrying a large number of anchor points, arrived at the cinema in Dream City.

At this time, Ms. Justice wove the dream image of Gehrman Sparrow for the third time.

The two Gehrman Sparrows attracted each other and merged together.

"German Sparrow!
"German Sparrow!"

The audience in the cinema shouted loudly.

Along with this shout, the newly emerged Gehrman Sparrow became clear and apparently stable.

But he still kept his eyes closed, as if he had no soul.

The repulsive power of dreams descended.

At this time, Franca ran out of the screen carrying Gehrman Sparrow from the movie.

Then, she saw another Gehrman Sparrow in front of her, who was also wearing a half-high silk hat and a long black trench coat.

This is... Franca had no time to think about anything else. From the corner of her eye, she saw Gehrman Sparrow behind her begin to quickly collapse.

She gritted her teeth, followed the guidance of the "Witch of Despair"'s spiritual intuition, and ran forward with Gehrman Sparrow in the movie.

The next second, she loosened her grip on Gehrman Sparrow's arm and watched as he was attracted and drawn to the mysticism, actively moving closer to the other Gehrman Sparrow and blending in.

Rumble!
There was another terrifying noise coming from the air.

This time, it didn’t feel like thunder, but more like the collapse of a dream.

"Huh..." Franka suddenly made a surprised sound.

…………

Inside the Yangdu High-speed Railway Station, the collapsed half is still dark and gloomy.

Lumian looked up at the sky that was rumbling, and smiled at Zhou Mingrui, who was standing on the edge and only one step away from falling into darkness.

“Their attempt seems to have been successful.

"Using countless anchor points, the ability of 'Secret Voyeur', and the ability of 'Nightmare' to create an image of Gehrman Sparrow in reality, and then find a way to send him into the dream city and combine him with the dream image of Gehrman Sparrow woven by the 'Dream Weaver'. This is not a plan I came up with, but a plan that the Major Arcana cards had long ago, but they just haven't had time to implement it.

"My contribution is to propose that the image of Herman Sparrow in the movie was the first to appear, created out of thin air, and that 'Desperate Witches' can bring him off the screen, so why not try to combine the three into one.

"Well, another contribution I made was to create such an opportunity."

Zhou Mingrui listened calmly without any emotional change.

Suddenly, Lumian's smile became bright, and he whispered to Zhou Mingrui:
"My 'despair' potion has completely digested."
