Ring of Fate

Chapter 869 Painting (Thanks to 37 Great Demon King for the reward to the Golden Alliance)
Trier, botanical garden, inside the wooden house.

Lumian and the others were so blinded by the sudden burst of light from the sky that they couldn't open their eyes for a full minute.

The first one to recover was Ludwig. He ran to the window and looked at the plants outside, as if looking for something.

The second one was Lumian. He frowned and said to Franca, Janna and Anthony:

"Has the vortex officially started? It's making quite a lot of noise."

"I don't know if it will affect us." Franca had just said this when she suddenly had a strong premonition of danger.

In this regard, the spiritual intuition of "witches" has always been very strong.

Almost at the same time, Janna blurted out:
"It will definitely have an impact. I have a feeling we can't stay here any longer!"

Lumian was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and quickly "talked to himself":

"Thermopolos, you didn't warn me because what was going to happen next was what you wanted to see?"

As he spoke, Lumian used his eyes to make Franca, Janna, Anthony, and Lugano quickly come closer and grab his arms, shoulders, and vest respectively.

The only one who didn't have a tacit understanding was Ludwig.

Lumian looked at the little boy and said in a deep voice:
"Do you want to be punished to do homework? Come over here!"

Ludwig's face showed fear, and he instinctively turned back, but the next second, he turned his head reluctantly to look out the window.

He didn't know what he was waiting for, he just felt that he should wait here, waiting for something very important.

"Hmm?" Lumian urged again.

Ludwig's face changed, and he finally couldn't resist the Godfather's majesty and his fear of studying, homework, and exams. He ran to Lumian with his short legs and grabbed the Godfather's black vest.

Indeed, there is not enough tacit understanding, and the ceremony cannot be considered complete... Lumian sighed and activated the black mark on his right shoulder.

He was going to "teleport" such a large group of people to the New Silver City, to the headquarters of the Church of Fools!

Lumian then saw various rich layers of colors and countless transparent and strange figures, and saw the seven bright and pure lights that were always located in the distance above his head.

Just as he was about to travel through the familiar spiritual world to the coordinates representing the New Silver City, his body suddenly sank and he was separated from this fantastic, mysterious, crazy and illusory world.

Lumian found himself and others back in the wooden house in the botanical garden, back to the state when Ludwig just grabbed his vest.

Having had many experiences, he fixed his eyes and reminded his companions, including Franca and Janna, in a deep voice:

"'Man in the Ring'!"

…………

On the original island where the last mausoleum of Emperor Roselle was located, in the area in front of the tomb, which was filled with a light white mist.

The three pieces of information that flew out from the light spot where the Fate Servant Helos was located fell into three different light spots respectively.

One is where Higdon of the "Society of the Final Destruction of All Things" is located, and the other seems to be located in a tunnel in Trier underground. The figure holding the calcium carbide lamp is Harrison, a visitor from Easter Island who is wearing a black robe and has a different appearance from the people of the North and South Continents.

Another point of light first revealed a dimness, and then outlined a figure. This figure was in his fifties, with thick blond hair with a hint of white, and lake blue eyes that were clear and deep.

He was a man with an extremely neatly trimmed beard and deep facial features. Even at his age, he could be considered handsome.

Voisin Sanson!

Voisin Sanson, the "man in the ring" of the "Sinner" organization!

Roche Louise Sanson, the father of Auror's original body, a believer in fate, Vasan Sanson!

As soon as Vasant Sanson, who was wearing a black suit, got the information about the location of Lumian, Ludwig and others, he immediately disappeared into the darkness reflected by the expanding light spot.

Higdon of the "Society of the End of All Things" also quickly left the room he was in and no longer participated in this complex transaction in real time without any real distance.

In response, the "supervisor" Perle was not surprised at all, and announced the progress of the transaction in that ethereal voice:
"Vazan Sanson of the Sinners organization has obtained the key information to recover the Angel of Fate. The corresponding contribution will be made by the great Ring of Fate."

"Mr. Higdon of the 'End of All Things Society' has begun to act. The reward will be paid after he completes the recovery of the angel of 'Original Hunger' and provides a little help to Vasant Sanson. It will be paid by Loki of 'April Fool's Day'..."

As Perle's words spread and as those honorable names were chanted, the white mist gradually became darker and darker, and shadows moved, as if a terrifying will was about to descend.

Normally, Perle should not have known or disclosed information about the great beings, as that would have brought about very terrible and serious consequences. After all, she used the previous events to persuade the "mysterious queen" Bernadette who had gray tendencies, and only gained a new gift through a considerable sacrifice, becoming a true "vortex weaver", but not yet an angel.

But she was now under the protection of the vortex ritual, and had just received a wisp of mist from the "Uncertain Mist" of the truth of her faith, so she was naturally not affected - her understanding of those great beings came from that wisp of mist, and before that she had only contacted the corresponding secret organizations and underground sects to reach a relatively definite agreement.

At this time, Bernadette decomposed herself into streams of information, which flowed towards Perle's face in the gray fog in the form of a huge torrent.

She hoped to influence the other party in this way so that the subsequent transaction could not go forward, but without destroying the current ceremony.

Perle's face made of mist suddenly dissipated and disappeared from Bernadette's perception.

After the vast torrent of information rushed past, it seemed to be lost in the white mist, and the true location of the target could not be found.

Soon, the torrent of information broke away from the white mist and reconstructed Bernadette's body. Perle's face appeared in different places in the white mist, sometimes laughing, sometimes cursing, sometimes pretending to be friendly, and sometimes chattering.

These faces gathered inward and once again formed Perle's blurry face, which was sometimes distorted and sometimes normal, in the depths of the white mist.

Perle continued to speak in the Word of Order:
"Harrison from Easter Island has obtained Lumian Lee's location information, and will use the special mirror world to go to Trier in the Fourth Epoch after the vortex ceremony. He will pay a special item from the 'Destiny' path as a reward.

"This is the item that Ms. Helos, the servant of fate, wants to obtain..."

When Perle announced the new deal, a figure with only the upper body appeared behind the "mysterious queen" Bernadette. It was almost transparent and quite unreal.

The figure looked exactly like Bernadette, even the clothes were exactly the same. She was holding a pale mask with holes where the eyes should be and gleaming with metallic luster, and she quickly put it on her face.

"Pale Death"!
Another "0" level sealed object owned by Bernadette is "Pale Death"!
She wants to use this to control Perle.

At this moment, Bernadette's vision suddenly became dazed, and she felt that the surrounding environment and distance became extremely confusing.

She passively changed her position, and an unusually familiar low voice rang in her ears:

"Bernadette..."

…………

Outside the tomb of the "Black Emperor", the white fog was becoming thicker and more varied.

Harrison took out an object from the spot of light where he was located somewhere in underground Trier.

The object was a thumb-sized bead, colorful and with a glass-like texture, exuding a peaceful aura.

Harrison then threw the bead into the white mist around him.

Under the watchful eyes of the "Supervisor" Perle, the bead passed through the light spot corresponding to Harrison, passed through the thick white fog, and flew to the light spot where the initiator of the "Dream Seekers" Helos was.

The beautiful woman who was weaving her own destiny caught the colorful glass beads with her only remaining right hand.

She suddenly saw a scene with her tightly closed eyes:
A bald man in a yellow robe and a strange cloak sat cross-legged on the bed. There was a pure light behind his head. The depth of that light seemed to lead to an unknown place, where many things were hidden.

Helos put down the bead, pulled out a strand of hair, and completed the last thing she needed to do.

That is a blessing.

Blessings from destiny!
"Project Vortex will be successfully completed."

Helos's black hair was woven into the previous threads with this message.

With a swish, a large piece of skin on the right half of Helos' face was torn off by an invisible force, revealing a bloody, still wriggling piece of flesh.

She had not yet become an angel and was unable to weave a destiny that had such a far-reaching impact. She could only rely on the statue of the goddess to complete it. However, every time she weaved a section, she would suffer serious damage. Her eyes became blind in the process, and her feet, legs, left arm and fingers were also broken in the process.

Of course, as long as you don't die on the spot, you can trade with "brokers" for special potions and get corresponding treatment.

The face of the "supervisor" Perle in the white mist turned his gaze to another spot of light.

The scene corresponding to that light spot seemed to be an altar located in an ancient castle. Around the altar lay mutilated corpses, and their flesh, blood, and bones were made into paintbrushes and pigments.

A man with long hair, empty eyes and a crazy expression has completed the preliminary preparations in the center of the altar.

It was an evil oil painting that only needed the last two strokes to be completed.

This oil painting depicts an endless and dark starry sky, but on the left side there are circles of blood extending inward, which look like a special tunnel and also like the mouth of some creature. On the right side there is a large amount of bone powder shining with silver and black light, and they are almost able to connect into a ring.

The voice of "Supervisor" Perle sounded:
"Mr. Sage of the 'Imagination Society', a believer in the String, has sacrificed a large number of benefactors and followers and is about to complete a great and outstanding painting!

"Next, we will see the presentation of the painting. Mr. Sage's reward will be given by the great 'Uncertain Mist' himself at the end of the vortex ceremony. That is also what the great being he believes in wants to see."

PS: Thanks to 37 Great Demon King for rewarding the Golden Alliance~
The update will be completed within this week!
