Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 94 The Favored Ones

"Great Ring of Destiny, you are the eternal cycle, the predetermined fate, the cause, the effect, and the process!"

The black thorn-patterned "Ring of Fate" symbol seemed to possess a faint, powerful response amidst the devout prayers.

This faint power resonated gently with some kind of power emanating from the clergyman, creating a sacred environment.

"This is a name that points to the 'Ring of Destiny'..." Truman didn't dare to recite it recklessly, as that would surely bring extremely bad results.

"Don't be reckless!" Truman suddenly warned, "Even your clone won't do; any disturbance to fate will be detected by this being!"

This refers to Amon, of course.

Of course, Amon wouldn't be foolish enough to have his clone recite it, but it was his clone that influenced fate, giving a commoner in this world the idea of ​​reciting this revered name.

Amon was prepared to sacrifice his own clones to complete the adventure, but he underestimated the "Ring of Destiny".

This is the true Outer God who controls the symbols of destiny, and is one of the most powerful Outer Gods in the entire universe.

If we were to truly attract this person's attention, the only option would be to use a drop of divine blood from the Creator.

But that would mean the end of their journey through the stars.

Amon pushed up his monocle and smiled slightly. "So even the teacher is afraid of Outer Gods."

This was a test.

The test was on Truman, and also on the "Ring of Fate".

Before Truman left, the Creator had not yet publicly announced the name of the Outer God that he had calculated using his "omniscient and omnipotent" authority.

This is forbidden knowledge, and even Amon could not know it.

But He was so curious that He couldn't help but test Truman, who knew the truth.

"If there's a next time, I'll send you to the moon to give birth." Truman glanced at Amon and walked closer to the black thorn symbol.

The symbol of facing the Outer God directly is almost indistinguishable from facing the Outer God face to face.

The only saving grace is that most of the Outer Gods in the universe are now focused on that small planet Earth, and the responses here are mostly ritualistic, with no will descending upon them.

"The 'Gifts' system..." Truman was quite interested in these Outer God pathways, and he even followed Bethel to this starry sky to see more Outer God pathways.

Theoretically, he could also use the Book of Dreams to perform "gifts".

Compared to his slow and painstaking exploration, the Outer Gods had a ready-made complete set of theories, and he came here to steal them!

"But we can't directly try to pry into the information of the Outer Gods, or we might be discovered."

Truman looked at the black thorn symbol and sensed a hidden connection that pointed to the "Ring of Destiny," which was separated by countless galaxies.

"Then how about..." Truman looked at Kono and gave him a friendly smile, "Kid, you've hit the jackpot."

Kono was his initial window into understanding this world, and Kono was still a long way from the "Master" level. He had not yet gone deep into the "role" of the "Destiny" path and was still limited in terms of corruption.

"Father Costel!" Raymondo led Cono to bow to the devoutly praying priest.

"...I pray for your grace..." Father Costel did not stop his prayer and continued with his work.

"..." Kono was a little nervous and glanced at Captain Raymondo.

But Raymondo simply shook his head slightly, signaling him to be quiet.

After a considerable period of prayer, Father Costel finally stopped.

"Inspector Raymondo." Father Costel looked at Raymondo with indifferent eyes, devoid of any extra emotion.

"We have once again discovered a large number of traces of cultists in our jurisdiction..." Raymondo handed the report to Father Costel.

"Those damned heretics again?!" Father Costel's eyes gradually brightened as he took the report and read it carefully.

"They somehow controlled a 'coach driver,' corrupted his family, and led them astray."

"This led the 'driver' to carry out a crazy kidnapping, and all the hostages were consumed by desire, becoming trees of desire."

Raymondo briefly explained the case from the side.

"The 'rickshaw driver' profession is rapidly becoming obsolete after the advent of trams and electric vehicles; this is the root cause of their decline!"

Father Costel deduced a great deal of information simply from his profession.

"Then why not train the 'coachmen' to become 'drivers'? That way..." Kono asked involuntarily, his mind wandering.

Raymondo's expression changed, but Costel gave Kono a meaningful look and said softly, "This is the tide of the times, and even more so, 'destiny'!"

Perhaps, this painful struggle under the guise of "fate" is simply a way to please an external god?

Kono's vision suddenly went dark, and he sensed a profound pressure and a feeling of silence from this "fate".

He has seen many professions eliminated by the times, and "coach driver" is just one of them.

But today, for some reason, his mind became unusually sensitive and alert, and he noticed something strange.

The shadow in Kono's eyes dissipated, and Father Costel and Captain Raymondo were still discussing the case, as if his question and answer with Father Costel had never happened.

He recalled Father Costel's expression just now, and a chill seemed to rise from the depths of his body.

"Let's go! What are you spacing out for!" Captain Raimondo shoved Conno.

Kono snapped out of his daze and hurriedly caught up with Father Coster and the captain.

They are going to expose the followers of lust.

"Let's go take a look first." Truman went out with the three of them, his eyes mostly focused on Father Costel.

Truman ruthlessly rejected Amon's request to act alone.

Before Truman has a deeper understanding of the world, he can't let that brat Amon go out and cause trouble.

As for Bethel, he was in no hurry to complete his ceremony.

Along the way, Truman and his companions witnessed the hidden aspects of the world.

They walked through areas that resembled slums, and saw those professionals who had been eliminated due to the changing times.

According to Captain Raimondo, this slum is mostly inhabited by "coach drivers".

These people, who appeared to be in the latter half of their lives, walked aimlessly through the slums, looking lost and bewildered.

They were born to pull rickshaws, but nowadays the need for rickshaw pullers is decreasing. Apart from a few strong and able-bodied men who can snatch business, those of them who lack energy are being eliminated.

After being eliminated...

These "rickshaw pullers," who were born to pull rickshaws and only knew how to do so, lost everything.

"Destiny" seems to have become detached from them.
