There was nothing on the altar.
Reneedol was clearly surprised.
"Lachesis, my elder sister, you've always been in charge of everything, so it's only natural that you would hide certain things from us …"
She walked around the divine temple once, carefully checking every inch of it, but still couldn't find any clues.
Without any other choice, Reneedol raised the bow of stars and pulled the bowstring back into a full crescent shape.
Sha!
The starlight manifested into an arrow that turned into a cold flash of light that shot through the air.
With a resounding boom, the statue of Goddess Lachesis was shattered by the arrow.
Reneedol walked forward and carefully observed it.
But there were no Divine Artifacts inside the statue, nor any hidden mechanisms.
Reneedol stood still and muttered: "This can't be right. In the past, before the Deities died, they gathered all of their power to manifest a Divine Artifact for us three sisters, and now that I've obtained Clotho's Divine Artifact — — why is Lachesis' Divine Artifact missing?"
She suddenly put the bow of stars away, clasped her hands together, and chanted: "Armor of Fate Termination, manifest an armor for my Spirit of Fate"
A black glow appeared on Reneedol's armor, manifesting into the featureless face of darkness behind her.
This time, the featureless face of darkness was no longer completely black, but instead had pieces of black armor attached to its face, making it appear even more terrifying.
The featureless face of darkness spoke in a booming voice: 「 You are currently wounded, and your enemy has only just discovered this place and is quickly approaching, you need to leave this place as soon as possible 」
Reneedol's expression froze and slowly raised her hand.
"Very well, with two Divine Artifacts in hand, I should be able to complete what I'm about to do …"
Balls of starlight flew out from the necklace around her neck and landed on her hand.
「 Hurry! 」 the featureless face of darkness urged her.
"There's still time!" Reneedol hurriedly replied.
She swung the cluster of starlight in a certain direction, then disappeared into the void of space.
— — -she had left.
The orange cat instinctively recognized the situation and immediately activated white mist.
As soon as he left, a thin tentacle appeared from the void of space.
Before the vertical pupil on the tentacle could even open, the cluster of starlight had already struck the tentacle.
Boom!!!
The tentacles only resisted for a moment before they were erased.
The starlight continued to fly forward, directly colliding with the three statues of the goddess, blasting them into a mess of rubble.
…
Within the Death God's temple.
A mass of white fog scattered to reveal the orange cat.
Hu –
A string of bubbles came out from the orange cat's mouth. He placed his paw on his chest and appeared glad.
It was really dangerous just now.
The power released by Reneedol's Star Necklace was almost unstoppable. It could kill him in an instant.
Even if the Lord of Infinite Origins rushed over, it would be too late.
In the face of such a powerful spell, one of its tentacles was nothing at all.
The orange cat relaxed his body, hovered in the water, and fell into thought.
Reneedol only found a necklace, a set of armor, and a divine artifact that she had yet to find.
Of the three Divine Armaments of Fate, one was missing.
Other than that, Reneedol had destroyed three statues of the Goddess before she left.
If she was trying to create trouble for the Lord of Infinite Origins who was about to arrive —
— -that can't be right!
The Lord of Infinite Origins has countless tentacles, so losing a single one isn't a big deal at all.
Then, why did Reneedol destroy the three statues at the very last moment?
The orange cat silently thought. Suddenly, he saw several tentacles appearing from the dense fog around him.
These tentacles were quickly moving around the divine palace of the Death God, searching for anything suspicious.
The orange cat ignored these tentacles and continued to ponder the question in his mind.
Time slowly passed.
The black tentacles found nothing, so they reluctantly stayed in the water and swayed around.
All of a sudden — —
The entire divine palace shook.
Large amounts of dust fell from the ceiling, spreading everywhere like fog.
The tentacles seemed to have sensed something and quickly disappeared.
The orange cat regained his senses.
— — -what happened? Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
The orange cat went back into the fog and disappeared.
The Isle of Protection.
The orange cat appeared in the shadow of a rooftop and looked around in surprise.
The rock wall above him was constantly shaking, as if it was about to collapse.
As far as his eyes could see, there were countless tentacles all over the Isle and the underground river. These tentacles reached all the way up to the sky, trying to push against the rock wall above.
As the orange cat watched, he slowly understood.
— — -the Samsara's droppings!
The Samsara's droppings were constantly passing through the Reality Gate and descending into this world.
— — -the ground had already been destroyed, and now even the Pantheon was about to collapse!
It was only in this situation that the Lord of Infinite Origins would temporarily put aside everything else and focus on maintaining the situation.
Seeing this, the orange cat's expression slowly turned solemn.
If the Samsara's droppings kept increasing, the Apocalypse would surely infiltrate this place.
At that time, even the Lord of Infinite Origins might not be able to survive!
Shannu's voice suddenly resounded:
"Gongzi, what do we do now? We need to quickly escape "
The Earth sword sighed emotionally: 「 Escape? Where can we escape to now? There's no way to escape at all 」
Luo Bingli replied: "If we escape downwards, we'll at least be able to delay our deaths"
The orange cat stayed silent for a few moments, then abruptly stepped into the white fog again and disappeared from the Isle of Protection.
…
The white fog lingered.
The orange cat once again appeared in the divine palace of Fate.
— — thanks to the World Technique of the past, [Fog Realm Descent], he would be able to use this technique to return to any place he had been to.
The orange cat circled around the divine palace of Fate, carefully checking every corner, but found nothing.
He thought briefly, then muttered in his mind: "Where's the Divine Artifact of the Deity of Fate, Lachesis?"
A short moment later.
A black thread appeared out of nowhere, circled around the orange cat's paw, then coiled around his arm.
The orange cat was a bit surprised.
— — even Longing couldn't find that Divine Artifact?
Or perhaps it had already been destroyed?
The orange cat silently thought, then felt something amiss.
He suddenly noticed that the thread of Fate was coiling around his paw, extending upwards until it stopped at his chest.
The orange cat instantly understood.
He reached his paw into the fur on his chest, opened his Inventory Bag, and took out a handful of dust.
— — after Reneedol killed Lachesis, she turned her body into this handful of dust.
The orange cat held the pile of dust in his hand, thought briefly, then called out in his mind: "Luo Bingli, can you do it?"
The Heaven sword had been observing him from behind, so Luo Bingli's voice resounded:
"I can, but I'm afraid I can't"
She continued to explain:
"— — I don't mind using [Chaotic Flow] once, after all, abilities are meant to be used, not to mention in such a dangerous situation. But this Deity's power had already been completely absorbed by Reneedol. This is the Law of Fate, the Law of Causality, as well as the mysterious connection between them, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make her return to a certain point in the past"
The orange cat sent his voice in his mind: "Let's give it a try, I'm a bit looking forward to it"
「 Hm? 」 the four swords questioned him at once.
The Earth sword asked: 「 Why are you placing your hopes on this crazy woman?
」 Shannu asked: "Did gongzi discover something?"
The orange cat pondered: "I suspect that I've been mistaken about something"
"What is it?" Luo Bingli asked.
"The Fable of Fate that Boss told us — — - actually, we only hid inside the secret room once, so it didn't match up with the fable at all" the orange cat replied.
The Earth sword asked: 「 Then the fable of the three piglets and three houses isn't correct? Or did you think of something else? 」
The orange cat replied: "The ones most closely related to Fate are actually the three Deities of Fate"
The three piglets corresponded to the three Deities of Fate, this sounded a bit absurd, but after thinking about it a bit more, there seemed to be a hidden meaning to it.
The four swords didn't say anything for now.
The orange cat continued: "I noticed that whenever Reneedol mentioned Lachesis, she would usually say things like 'Among us three sisters, you were the craziest, the most fearsome', or 'Lachesis, my elder sister, you've always been in charge of everything, so it's only natural that you would hide certain things from us'"
Shannu was confused: "What's wrong with those words?"
The orange cat replied: "This means that among the three sisters of Fate, Lachesis was actually the one in charge, and Reneedol only managed to change the situation by entering this body"
The orange cat asked in return:
"— — -Why was Lachesis the only one among the three sisters to hold the authority of the Myriad Deities and manage all matters?"
The four swords remained silent.
The Earth sword said: 「 Tell me directly, what exactly happened? 」
The orange cat's eyes flickered a bit and said: "We also saw it earlier, when Reneedol was fighting against the Lord of Infinite Origins, her thoughts were controlled. If I hadn't interfered, she would have most likely been unable to escape"
The Earth sword refuted: 「 Before Reneedol killed Lachesis, Lachesis said that the Lord of Infinite Origins couldn't control the thoughts of the pixies, but when we were on the Isle of Protection, we saw that all the pixies were controlled, which proved that she was lying 」
"No, this might have been because the Lord of Infinite Origins had thought of a new method — — I'm not sure if you've noticed, but Lachesis had disguised herself as an elven General, and the Lord of Infinite Origins didn't even know about her existence!"
The Earth sword cut in: 「 In other words — — 」
The orange cat continued: "I heard that the Myriad Deities of the Dusty World had been completely controlled, so there was only a single reason why Lachesis was able to escape from the Dusty World: She wasn't under the Lord of Infinite Origins' control, and could even disguise herself and deceive him"
The orange cat swung his tail and drew the Heaven sword.
"In that Fable of Fate, the house that two little pigs built couldn't stop a wolf and was directly blown away"
"Only the third little pig was unable to enter because the house was too sturdy"
"Lachesis was the true master of the Fable of Fate, not even the Lord of Infinite Origins could control her, she was the true core of the Myriad Deities"
"We want to revive her!"
