He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will inevitably take root and sprout.

By the time Roland decided to head to the Golden Dragon, the Void Hive was already bustling with activity.

Due to the Void Zerg's exceptional organization, the Void Hive is divided into two layers, upper and lower.

The lower level was originally used as the hatching ground for the Voidlings.

The upper level, intended as a space for daily activities, was built into a huge and magnificent palace.

The exquisite black design is filled with maximalist gold lines.

From a distance, it looks like the residence of a deity, mysterious and luxurious.

These are basically masterpieces built by the Void Zerg.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the contribution of a legendary architect.

"Melos, I truly admire your architectural talent," Thanatos said from the side.

At this moment, Melos, who had been "taken away," appeared in front of the palace and responded to Thanatos's praise.

"Not at all, it would be my greatest honor to design these magnificent masterpieces for that esteemed person. Besides, my work is not yet finished, so I cannot draw conclusions so soon."

As he spoke, Melos looked around at the surrounding space.

Apart from the enormous central palace, the space here appears quite spacious.

Some of the buildings intended to complement the central palace were not yet completed at this time.

After pausing to admire the view for a while, Melos suddenly looked up and asked Thanatos a question.

"Mr. Thanatos, could you tell me why Roland was led to the Golden Dragon?"

As far as I know, these lies will fall apart as soon as he recreates the actual scene himself.

Thanatos explained in response to Melos's question.

"The point is not whether he can recreate the real scene, but whether he went to the Golden Dragon."

Upon hearing this explanation, Melos raised his previously downcast eyes.

"Oh, what do you mean, Mr. Thanatos?"

Thanatos made little attempt to conceal his intentions and continued to explain his plan.

"To Emperor Atoris, I spread the message that Roland was colluding with the Chaos Cult, and the way to make contact was to return to the Golden Dragon and recreate the scene there to exchange information."

"It is clear that Roland has no reasonable need to return to the Golden Dragon at this time."

"Moreover, Atoris's days are numbered. As an emperor, he is inevitably becoming suspicious, especially with the threat from the Voidlings outside."

"Under such high pressure, if Roland, who has just carried out a major purge of the empire, were to return there, it would inevitably arouse Atoris's suspicion."

"Out of an abundance of caution, Atoris will close the passageway to the Golden Dragon and reject Roland's request for entry."

"This action will further confirm Roland's suspicions, ultimately leading to a situation of mutual distrust, and Roland may even be alienated as a result."

"Now it's your turn to step in."

Upon hearing this, Melos pointed to himself in surprise.

"Me?"

Thanatos nodded.

"right."

"As Roland's former friend, you can effectively win him over and open up a third phase in this war."

"At the same time, it also opens a breakthrough for our official identity."

Melos was somewhat puzzled.

"Does 'official identity' mean a name that belongs exclusively to us, without using the false identity of the Chaos Cult?"

Thanatos nodded in reply.

"Yes, that was also our Lord's idea, and our Lord even gave it an organization name."

Thanatos paused for a moment, then spoke solemnly.

"Our organization is called the Wheel of Fortune."

……

"The Wheel of Fortune?"

Roland looked at Melos with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, Melos was wearing a black cloak covered with gold patterns.

It even has a touch of mystery about it.

"Yes, when I was captured by the Chaos Cult, a person who called himself the Messenger of Destiny suddenly appeared and saved me. The organization he belonged to was called the Wheel of Destiny."

At this moment, Roland looked at Melos with a hint of suspicion.

"So, judging from the results... you were still recruited?"

In response to Roland's question, Melos answered instinctively.

"That's right, after I was rescued..."

Suddenly, Melos realized what Roland was really questioning.

"Wait, Roland, what do you mean by this? You don't believe I was recruited, do you? And what's with that look of disdain in your eyes?"

At this moment, he pointed at Roland with some annoyance.

Melos did not expect that Roland's first question would not be about the existence of the Wheel of Fortune, but about the authenticity of his joining the Wheel of Fortune.

"Haha, after all, I really can't imagine what this mysterious organization would value in a construction idiot. It can't be your house-building skills, can it?"

Roland laughed heartily at this moment.

The old man, who had just experienced the emperor's suspicion, appeared unusually relaxed in front of his long-lost friend.

Melos seemed somewhat dazed at Roland's joke.

It was as if for a fleeting moment they had returned to their apprentice days, when they used to playfully fight each other.

"Alright, alright, after all, you're a master at building houses, aren't you?"

Seeing Roland still joking about his dropping out of the Royal Alchemy Academy and switching to civil engineering, Melos was genuinely getting a little visibly angry.

"Forget it, I'm not going to argue with you about this anymore."

Melos calmed himself down and began to ask Roland questions.

"Speaking of which, you don't seem to doubt the existence of the Wheel of Fortune?"

When confronted with Melos's question, Roland abandoned his frivolous attitude.

"What is there to doubt? When I was studying the Destiny Star, I encountered a wise Destiny Star. It told me that there exists an organization on this continent that unites the children of destiny, and it is called the Wheel of Destiny."

"Thump..."

Melos's heart skipped a beat at that moment.

"Wait, does an organization called the Wheel of Fortune really exist? Isn't this world a bit too coincidental...?"

Suddenly, Melos had a change of heart.

"If it's that person, then perhaps it's not a coincidence."

"The Wheel of Fate that Roland spoke of is precisely the Wheel of Fate created by that lord now."

As for why Roland was able to know in advance, Melos can only attribute it to that person's mysterious methods.

After explaining himself, Melos quickly accepted the premise.

Before he could speak again, Roland quickly added.

"Furthermore, your cloak contains the aura of authority, which only demigods can possess, and the aura of authority on you is of a very high level."

I'm guessing it's the power of a true God. Given the limitations of this world, what do you think I could possibly doubt?

The aura of divine power?

A true god!?

Isn't that a legend that only existed millions of years ago?!

Melos's young heart was once again deeply shaken.

If he remembered correctly, this cloak was simply a standard garment made by Mr. Thanatos himself to add to his mystique.

Now, according to Roland's explanation...

Could it be that……

"Mr. Thanatos is actually a true god!?"

However, Thanatos was, after all, that person's subordinate, and it seems reasonable that his hidden strength was that of a legendary true god.

Melos then calmed himself down again.

Now, thanks to Roland's explanation, Melos was spared a lot of talking.

At this moment, Melos looked at Roland solemnly and asked again.

"So, Roland, how do you view the Wheel of Fortune?"

"Or rather, do you have any thoughts about joining the Wheel of Fortune?"
