Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 263 You want to challenge all the gods of fate?

The continent of Anamke has expanded by thousands of times.

In the void of the sky.

The goddess of fate, dressed in a long white gown, is surrounded by a circle of lively, dancing musical notes. The moment you see her, you always feel a strong sense of destiny.

She seemed to be destiny itself.

She is the beginning and the end of all changes.

Even after she fully unleashes her power, just seeing her can instill boundless fear and collapse in mortals.

Because the moment you see her, you will see endless future information until it overwhelms your mind.

—He is destiny itself, and anyone who tries to face destiny directly will be cursed by it!

however.

Unlike those who cannot face their fate, only the goddess of fate can accept the gifts of fate with almost no cost!
Of course, there is almost no cost to it. Even the goddess of fate is often forgetful and intermittently careless due to the massive flow of information.

Feeling the power within him, Baal exclaimed in shock, "I'm so strong!"

Don't underestimate yourself!

The goddess of fate said calmly, "You were just an ordinary, big fool from the 80th generation of gods, without any elemental powers!"

"Now, you are the most powerful magic god in this era in theory, equivalent to a super-enhanced version of the Demon King Goliath."

"You know, back then, Goliath only had shadows and transformations, yet he fought against God to that extent."

"You now possess most of the attributes such as shadow, light, and wind, as well as transformation and illusion! Illusion is the conversion of energy into mass; you have the ability to create things from nothingness!"

"A creation of the void?" Baal felt it was incredibly powerful just by hearing it.

The Goddess of Fate said calmly, "You create things from nothingness and shape the environment of the world. Combined with my manipulation of fate to change the memories of the living, we can create countless parallel worlds at any time!"

The two of them are a perfect match.

No.

Rather.

All the magical artifacts in the entire magical world are perfectly combined to form the framework of a traditional Western magic system!

Am I that powerful?

Baal became excited, waving his fist. Under the transformative power, wind, fire, and water swirled continuously, forming halos of energy:

"Amazing."

"I've actually become this powerful."

"Then who in this world can withstand a slap from me?"

The attribute series is quite special.

Other series only have four, but the attribute series has more than ten divine items.

This demonstrates the sheer terror and immense potential of this series.

The goddess of fate launched a surprise attack on the gods, and has now plundered most of the gods of this era, except for the gold and wood from the Amber Swallowtail Butterfly.

The goddess of fate whispered:
"And besides me, you also have the God of Evolution to assist you!"

"Then we're guaranteed to win?" Barr said.

"Hmph, you're thinking too simply. That's God, and you're now an enhanced version of Goliath. Isn't he also an enhanced version of God?"

"Times are changing, and his power is constantly increasing!"

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the goddess of fate. "I even saw countless blurry futures; we might still lose!"

"What?! I'm this powerful and I still lose? Then where's the key to our battle going from here?"

Baal, the god of magic, directly questioned the goddess of fate, relinquishing all control to her.

Because he knew that he was the protagonist chosen by fate.

But the one truly in charge of the battle is the goddess of fate.

"The key to our victory or defeat lies in where the goddess of fate has hidden the highly intelligent artifact of the Angel of Truth!"

On the other side, a cowardly voice reached God's ears: "The divine possessions of all the gods have been taken away, and the high wisdom and divine power of the Angel of Truth are no exception."

“She knows that you are missing one last piece of high intelligence to completely complete your strength.”

"So, she took the divine artifact of the Angel of Truth that she could not use and hid it in some unknown corner."

“She already knows I can sense the fate of inanimate objects, so she will definitely hide this divine object on a living person! Because I cannot sense the fate of the living, that is her authority!”

"The so-called battle of destiny is the battle for a certain key point of victory or defeat."

"Just like before, when she and I were vying for the point of awakening God."

"Now, we will help you gain new wisdom and fully awaken the mysterious power of God."

"Through countless crucial moments of victory and defeat, we have repeatedly tipped the scales of victory in our favor!"

Here, fate also intervened, and the strategist became the commander.

It seems that fate on both sides has chosen its own protagonist to take the stage.

All they need to do is see the various destinies of the future, and then command their chosen protagonists to launch an attack!

"I will help you defeat Ananke, don't worry!"

Fate has no power to fight back; her best option is God.

"Hmph, my power is a great counter to hers!" she said smugly.

No sooner had she spoken than, under the influence of this new goddess of fate, the entire world underwent various changes in an instant.

"Let me show you my abilities! Watch as I manipulate fate in an instant and help you find the hidden location of high intelligence!"

Ancient tourist destination.

Green shade collar.

Even if the future is distorted across countless timelines, in every timeline, this landmark area where God rose to power still bears this name.

The Green Shade Ridge is abundant with apple trees, their branches and leaves forming a sea of ​​apples outside.

Every year, a large number of tourists come here.

This place also became a major gambling mecca during the Tarot divination era.

Every year, countless young people come to follow the various legends of God.

A tour guide, holding a flag high, introduced the area to the crowd: "Greenfield, according to legend, is the birthplace of God's rise."

"God has many names: Jehovah the Redeemer, Elohim the Creator, Yahweh the Shepherd, and El Shadai, Lord of Hosts."

A young man nearby couldn't help but ask, "How is that possible? Didn't God only live once? Does he have so many names?"

This white-haired tour guide seemed to be answering this question before:

"Of course, we only live once, but haven't you noticed? We often have this illusion that something like this has happened before? My friend used to be a teacher, how did he become a bartender?"

"Do they instinctively feel that God has had many names? Many of our scholars call this phenomenon group cognitive bias!"

"We all vaguely carry some memories of déjà vu!"

"God seems to have many, many names. Perhaps it comes from another God in a parallel universe, or perhaps the cognition of many other counterparts in our universe has been projected here!"

Parallel universe theory?
This theory is still quite novel for this era. "Remember that ancient butterfly scholar who called himself Nachi? He said he came from another parallel universe due to some accident."

"And what helped him travel through time was an immortal deity!"

As everyone listened to these anecdotes and recalled the many names of God, they couldn't help but feel that there was some truth to the unofficial history the tour guide had told them.

Could it be that there really are many parallel worlds?
Are there other trials of the gods?

While the group was discussing the memory distortion effect, they also arrived at a clock tower.

"what is that?"

At this time, the clock tower's large clock was replaced by a square Destiny Slab, on which the historical texts were densely written.

The Slate of Fate

Where did this stone slab come from?
In the plaza, an elegant vampire stared wide-eyed at the countless pieces of information he saw on the stone slabs: "This is... the truth of the world?"

At that moment, everyone realized the existence of fate:

Fate is not an attribute we are born with!
Fate is a parasitic virus bestowed upon us after birth, much like being born with a prosthetic leg, but people gradually become accustomed to it.

"So that's it!"

"We should not be bound by fate!"

The moment people recognize their destiny, they also gain a new understanding of how to break free from it.

They began to break free from the shackles of fate, attempting to erase the divine power within them by means of erasing divine power.

Wow!
Fate vanished, and countless memories resurfaced in my mind.

"I remember! I finally remember!" Joyful voices rang out one after another.

"So, what the tour guide was talking about as the herd mentality effect was just a stroke of luck!"

"No wonder, no wonder, everyone has so many names, and so many layers of dream identities!"

A ray of evening sunlight fell on everyone's faces.

In the process of returning to the origin, people finally remember who they are.

But they were also terrified by the new god of fate.

How could a new destiny so easily break free from the fate that had been repeated several times?
The Fate Slab is truly this person's nemesis.

Just as the world was restored and all life returned to its original state, they saw rows of words appearing on the floor everywhere:

"A mysterious god is waging war against the goddess of fate!"

"God's power descended to earth."

"Hidden within the body of a living person by the goddess of fate!"

"Please feel the changes in your own power. If you find yourself possessing a higher level of intelligence, please return your power to God!"

Everyone in the world witnessed this scene.

Countless people began to examine changes in their bodies, wondering if they had developed super-intelligent traits.
In the sky.

Moira boasted, "How was that? Divine artifacts can't be taken out of this world, so they must still be here!"

"She won't carry it with her, otherwise your power will return as soon as you call out."

"It must be hidden inside a living person on some continent. I just need to use this method to beg the living person."

"In this way, there's nowhere to escape!"

God listened to the voices around him and gained a clearer assessment of this newly appointed goddess of fate.

Cowardly, afraid to defy fate, and somewhat of a people-pleasing personality.

He's just not very bright.

However, such people are easier to control.

If you support this goddess of fate to rise to power, eliminate Fortuna, and then comfort her in her weeping despair after discovering she killed her best friend...
Then the newly appointed goddess of fate will be her own dog.

That's quite a temptation.

“Every god of fate is a flawed mortal, but you are worse than I imagined.” God’s words made Moira, who was preparing to take credit, suddenly nervous.

"Is it...is it not possible?" she asked weakly.

God shook his head:

"What you can think of, she will naturally think of as well. She will indeed hide this divine object on a living person, but it will definitely be hidden on a specific person who hates God."

"Even if you revert to your original state, this evil person will still hide this divine object."

"So what you're doing is pointless. As a goddess of fate, you're begging a mortal who hates God to return divine objects to God? Do you think that wicked person will secretly laugh at your naivety and stupidity as a god? You've lost all your dignity as a god and embarrassed yourself in front of the whole world."

"Um, um," Moira stammered nervously, much like an introverted young girl working in a bar who gets yelled at by her boss.

"You've been acting as commander on your own, trying to lead the battle—it's about time you finished."

God's voice was indifferent: "You've been talking to yourself from the very beginning. When did you get the idea that I would listen to your commands? Go to the other side!"

"No, I'm not giving orders! I'm just suggesting that without the help of fate, you can't win. Wait, you want me to go to the other side?"

Moira was shocked and didn't understand what he meant at all.

The goddesses of fate are natural enemies, each wanting to seize the divine artifacts of destiny from the other.

Sending myself to the other side would be tantamount to sending myself to my death.

Her mind went completely blank, and she stammered, "Please don't give up on me, I don't want to die... even though I'm already dead, I still..."

"Besides, without my destiny, wouldn't you be aiding the enemy?"

God's eerie voice came again, "Go, sit at the same table as the goddess of fate across from you."

“You will not die in the past, because the true name of this goddess of fate is Fortuna.”

what! ?

Is she Fortuna?

My roommate who doesn't flush the toilet after using it?
Moira's mind suddenly went blank, and she cried out in a daze.

After receiving all sorts of evidence from God, she was completely bewildered.

Is the other person really Fortuna?
The God before us could have easily let this misunderstanding go, could have easily...
Moira's doubts grew, but she still went to talk to Fortuna.

After a quick exchange, Fortuna on the other side also confirmed the choice of the new goddess of fate.

The new goddess of fate turns out to be Moira, my silly roommate with a lot of embarrassing past.

Fortuna snorted coldly, gritted her teeth, and said, "Fate is truly wondrous; it was so close, so very close to disaster."

Moira was terrified and said timidly in a low voice, "It was fate that made us change the tragedy."

“No.” Fortuna’s voice was complicated. “It wasn’t fate, it was God who changed our tragedy! And fate, on the contrary, led us to tragedy.”

"Huh?" Moira looked a little confused.

"Hmph, as expected of a proud God, not even wanting the gifts of fate?"

The goddess of fate looked at God, who was floating in the sky opposite her, and endless colorful phenomena enveloped him.
"This was a civil war of destiny!"

Fortuna said, "God, have you cast fate in my hands, to challenge all the gods of destiny in one fell swoop?"
