Ring of Fate

Chapter 1147 Eat

As soon as the silver-and-black three-layer jewelry box inlaid with various gemstones was taken out and placed on the coffee table, Franca suddenly felt creepy and felt that the surrounding environment had changed strangely.

After becoming the "Witch of Disaster", her spiritual premonitions became stronger.

The head on Lumian’s left shoulder turned, and Alistair Tudor’s face was facing forward, looking at the Box of the Elder Days.

The exquisite jewelry box suddenly made a creaking sound, as if the material it was made of could no longer bear the invisible pressure and was about to break.

All the abnormalities that Franka felt disappeared.

"'Box of the Elder Days'?" she asked Lumian curiously.

Although she had not participated in the gathering of the Major Arcana cards and the distribution of "0" level seals, she had been reminded in advance of certain things that she needed to stay away from in the event of a melee, and the "Box of the Elder Days" was one of them.

Lumian nodded, stretched out his right hand, pressed the top of the "Box of the Old Days", flicked it gently and said:
"I feel it has a connection with Ludwig, so I borrowed it for a while."

"Fate" is a word he learned in the dream city. However, this was not too uncommon in the North and South continents before they became ruins. On the one hand, members of the "Curly Baboon Research Society" would unconsciously spread some new words. On the other hand, Lumian believed that there were more than one "guest" from Penglai, Harrison. They were all responsible for different things, but in the end, nothing happened.

Fated to meet Ludwig? Franca subconsciously turned her head to look at Ludwig, who was wearing a formal child's suit.

Ludwig held the steak in his mouth and stared blankly at the "Box of the Past", as if he was trapped in a dream.

Lumian slid his right hand down to the third layer of the silver-black jewelry box and asked Ludwig with a smile:
"Can you sense what's hidden in here?"

Ludwig stretched out his hand like a sleepwalker and pressed it on the other side of the third layer of the "Box of the Old Days".

Almost at the same time, Franka heard a strange sound of chewing, swallowing and digestion, as if something was gnawing at her flesh and bones inside her body.

It came from the depths of the third layer of the "Box of the Old Days" and echoed from the bottom of her heart.

"Yes, yes..." The piece of steak in Ludwig's mouth fell to the ground with a thud.

The little boy's face was like a bed sheet draped over his body, with "tents" propped up by his "hands and feet".

He said with longing, admiration, fear and trembling:

"Yes, it is the power of 'Primal Hunger'!"

"Original Hunger"... one of the "Old Ones"... Franka felt that the surrounding environment suddenly became dark and layered, isolating her from a certain malicious gaze.

She looked around and suddenly realized:

He and his companions had already moved to Lumian's kingdom of God to prevent the "primordial hunger" from affecting the stability of the protected area through the mystical connections brought about by the previous discussions.

The head in the middle of Lumian kept smiling and continued to ask Ludwig:

"What would happen if I opened this layer?"

Ludwig retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and replied tremblingly:

"It might, it might swallow everything around it immediately and eat it directly! It might also start from our subconscious and the bottom of the island of the mind, eating emotions, memories, spirit and consciousness, flesh and blood, night and day, good and bad, kindness and evil, order and disaster, until it eats up some of the rules of this world, making it unable to maintain stability and causing the barrier to lose its foundation..."

“Sure enough, in the later stages of your path, you will start to consume rules, concepts, authority, and even symbols.” Lumian nodded the head in the middle with satisfaction.

He looked at Ludwig with a half-smile, and asked like a witch whispering:

"Can you eat this danger hidden in the box?"

Chick turned his face to the front and waited for Ludwig's answer with great interest.

Ludwig was obviously frightened and blurted out:
"how come?"

What he meant was not that he couldn't do it, but that he couldn't do it:

That is rebellion, that is blasphemy!
Lumian did not answer, but looked at Ludwig with an unchanged smile.

Ludwig fell into silence, sometimes showing a timid look, sometimes showing obvious resistance, sometimes unable to hide his heartbeat, and sometimes hesitant and afraid.

His expression has never been more expressive.

Franka entered into a watching-the-show mode, waiting for Lumian to instigate something and Ludwig to express something.

After a few seconds, Lumian smiled and said at a moderate pace:

"The core of your path is 'eating' and 'digesting'. Eating the outside world is not the end, nor is eating rules, concepts, authority, and symbols. Eating yourself, eating your father, and eating the gods you believe in is your ultimate destiny, the ultimate hunger.

“Perhaps this is the meaning of His birth.”

"Isn't this too extreme?" Ludwig said with a clear and educated look.

Good boy, you have some humanity now... Franka nodded with satisfaction.

She felt that if she chose the "audience" route, she would be able to perform well.

Lumian turned his head to look at Janna's face on his right shoulder, and smiled at Ludwig:
"It is indeed extreme, and I don't want you to be controlled by your own divinity and instincts and do such an extreme thing.

"So, I'm only asking if you can eat the danger hidden in the box, not if you can eat 'Primal Hunger'. Under the current circumstances, improving yourself as much as possible is the best option."

Ludwig opened his mouth and closed it again.

His expression changed for a while, and suddenly a sound of swallowing saliva came from his throat.

Oh, my God, you smell so good? Franca made up the lines for Ludwig in her mind.

After a while, Ludwig finally spoke:
"Not yet, not yet. I have to wait until I recover to my original level. Moreover, I need the help of another great being."

Lumian nodded slightly and said:

"If I just eat, temporarily store, and attach myself to it without digesting or absorbing it, do I also need the help of the 'Great Old Ones'?"

"Yes." Ludwig nodded heavily.

Lumian thought for a few seconds and smiled again:
"Then just wait a little longer."

He then extended one of the arms holding the uniqueness of the "Red Priest" and one of the newly grown beautiful palms on the right side in front of Ludwig. In the current situation, although the uniqueness of the "Red Priest" still retains the form of a burnt flag, it will not drive the witness out of control and go crazy, because it is a part of Lumian and is under control. If Lumian wants it to show the influence of divinity, it can show it, and if he doesn't want it to show it, it won't.

"Which one do you want to eat?" Lumian asked Ludwig's opinion with a smile.

Ludwig was stunned for a moment:
“Is it really edible?”

Franka blinked and finally understood what Lumian wanted to do:
He fed Ludwig part of his body to allow Ludwig to obtain the Sequence 2 Beyonder characteristics that he had separated, thereby restoring his original level and breaking free from the seal of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".

——Lumian currently has three additional Sequence 2 Beyonder Characteristics, one for “Weather Warlock” and two for “Disaster Witch”.

"Of course, I'm your godfather." Lumian nodded with a smile.

Ludwig swallowed again, looked around, hesitated for a few seconds and said:
"I choose it."

He was referring to the arm on Lumian's left side, which had a copy of the "Weather Warlock" extraordinary trait from Tudor's "Conqueror" extraordinary trait.

“Okay.” Lumian raised his corresponding arm.

Ludwig moved closer and bit the hand.

As the flaming crimson blood flowed, the sound of gnawing, which made one's teeth ache and heart palpitate, continued to be heard.

Franca gasped and thought that Lumian was a bit too extreme. Wouldn’t it be better to separate the Beyonder characteristics first and then feed them to Ludwig?

It’s not impossible.

She cast her gaze towards Tudor's face on the head on Lumian's left shoulder and found that his expression was a little painful, instinctive pain.

The corresponding Weather Warlock Extraordinary Characteristic belongs to Alistair Tudor. Is it a kind of revenge to let Ludwig directly take it? However, you will also suffer... Franka suddenly guessed and sighed.

Soon, Ludwig gnawed off Lumian's palm, leaving only the bare iron-colored wrist bone and the burning blood that dyed it red.

Ludwig pulled back and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth with his tongue, looking like he wanted to eat more.

The skin on his face and body was about to be torn apart, and a huge monster was about to expand out from inside.

The seal of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" can no longer block it.

At this moment, Ludwig took the initiative to control himself and did not destroy the seal, maintaining the appearance of a little boy.

Lumian smiled and turned to Franka and said:

"I will separate the two extra 'Disaster Witch' extraordinary characteristics to make the body more balanced. Haha, the Disease Teacher also needs a '0' level seal. Well, the name of the Disease Teacher will also be gradually changed in the future."

“Okay, okay!” Franca answered very quickly, as if she was afraid that Lumian would “go back on his word”.

Although she knew that Lumian was more planning for his own future, it was a good thing that he was willing to think about the future.

Lumian looked at Ludwig for a few seconds and asked with a smile:

"What are your plans next?"

Ludwig was silent for a while and said:
"If I'm not eaten at the end of the world, I want to be a child first, grow up normally, get old, experience the whole human life, and then make a comparison."

Lumian hummed, and asked casually:

"You have returned to the angel level now, what is the name of the sequence?"

Blood and fire intertwined at his broken wrist, forming a new palm.

Ludwig thought for a few seconds and said:
"In your language, it's called 'Angel of Devouring'."
