One night passed.
The next day.
Fog Isle.
The center of the Institute.
Divine Sacrifice Square.
Fate has already prepared.
The girls from yesterday have already been eaten by the spiders.
At this point, there were still over 100 Apprentices who came to participate in the trial.
Everyone carefully spread out around the square.
"Is that Fate?" someone asked in a low voice.
His voice was a bit shaky.
"That's right, according to a few documents, that is Fate" the person who answered him was also very nervous, but a bit better than him.
"No wonder the square was built to be this big" another person sighed.
The Fate they were talking about was currently lying in the middle of the Divine Sacrifice Square, lazily basking in the sun.
This was a beast they've never seen before, it looked like a crocodile, but also like a dragon.
A person standing in front of it couldn't even compare to the nail on one of its claws.
The beast slightly opened its mouth, breathing heavily, causing a gust of wind to blow across the entire square.
Even from afar, you could clearly see the rows of sharp teeth in its mouth.
— — -from the looks of it, its mouth was full of teeth.
But the most eye-catching part was the beast's eyes.
Its eyes weren't round or vertical, but a misty white.
Looking at its eyes, your first reaction would be to think that it's blind.
But if you look carefully, you'll notice that the white is lively, full of life.
This is the manifestation of Fate.
It came from the Institute's Dean, one of his God's Chosen Skills.
The Fate beast looked down at the square and slowly stood up.
All the Apprentices were here.
It was time for the trial.
There were no Gurus on the square, nor were there any higher-ups of the Institute, only the 100 Apprentices from the preparatory class.
"Is there no one? What should we do? "someone couldn't help but ask.
A rumbling voice suddenly echoed across the square: "Hey, haven't you been to the library?"
The one who spoke was the Fate beast.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
"I'm sorry, I only revived yesterday, please explain" the person hurriedly said.
The loud voice came again: "Ah, you only revived yesterday, no wonder"
The Fate beast looked at the 100 Apprentices on the square and explained: "All of you need to be eaten by me"
Many people were so scared that they took a few steps back. One of them even fell on his butt.
The Fate beast spoke disappointedly: 『It seems none of you went to the library, that's not good, knowledge is something that can change one's fate, yet none of you like it』
There was a hint of disdain in its voice.
It was quiet all around.
Su Cher didn't wait any longer. She stepped forward and said, "I know the process. Please let me go first."
She spent every day in the library, so she knew everything related to the Fate Behemoth.
She was ready.
No matter what, he had to go first.
Before everyone's trial ended, no teacher would disturb this sacred process.
Not even Isa.
In this case, once he went through the trial first, he would be able to gain valuable time.
He could wait for the others to finish their trial while thinking of countermeasures.
— — Based on the results of my trial, I'll think about what to do next.
In the square.
The Fate Beast heard Su Cher's voice.
It moved its gigantic head closer, staring straight at Su Xue Er with its white eyes.
Its eyes were glued to Su Xue Er, assessing her.
Su Cher didn't hesitate to look straight into the Fate Beast's eyes.
— — -this eye was almost as tall as she was.
The beast's eyes were covered in a misty white. This white was quickly changing, shrinking, and spreading.
Is this the fog of fate that the books talked about?
Su Cher silently thought.
A few moments later, the Fate Beast's voice shook her so much that she couldn't even stand straight.
『No, you are a rare delicacy, you should be eaten last』
After saying so, the Fate Beast bit down on the person next to Su Cher.
It chewed on the flesh and blood without caring about the person's desperate screams.
Blood was spilling out from its mouth.
Being pierced by countless sharp teeth, torn, chewed, and crushed over and over again, this was inhumane pain.
For the trial-takers, this was an excruciating process.
This sudden and intense pain had even surpassed the punishment of hell.
The onlookers stared at this scene with their mouths agape.
『Hm … tasteless … but still someone who escaped their original fate …』
The Fate Beast abruptly stopped chewing and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood turned back into a human figure and landed on the ground.
It still looked like the same person.
The man was terrified and screamed in a frenzy.
After screaming for a while, he noticed that something wasn't right.
He raised his hand and touched his face.
There wasn't a single scar.
"I was clearly dead, how miraculous!" he muttered.
From the void of space, a card suddenly appeared in front of him.
The man was stunned briefly before becoming overjoyed.
"I, I did it! I've been reborn as a God's Chosen! "
Su Xue Er curiously moved closer and looked at the card.
The card was grey.
From afar, she could only make out a weapon on it.
Quite a few people appeared envious.
Su Cher pouted but didn't care.
— — -she only awakened a single card, and it was a grey weapon card at that. This was the lowest level of awakening.
Following the first person's success, everyone else was eager to try.
"You're next."
The Fate Beast spoke to one of them.
It was the person who said that he had just been revived.
The Fate Beast opened its mouth and bit him without waiting for him to react.
It began to chew.
The man knew that he was about to awaken, but still couldn't help but scream in agony.
『Hm, not bad at all』 the Fate Beast commented while chewing.
It suddenly stopped chewing.
Roar!!!
A furious roar resounded.
The apprentices jumped in fright.
Quite a few of them felt their legs soften and fell to the ground.
He thought that the Fate Beast would spit that person out, but who knew that the Fate Beast would let out such an earth-shattering roar.
『Only revived yesterday? You've already woken up for a few days and stole quite a bit』 the Fate Beast's voice sounded like thunder.
『Deceiving! Stealing! Trying to deceive me! Hm …』
Its voice was filled with indescribable cruelty.
Under everyone's gaze, the Fate Beast's throat moved.
It swallowed that person.
That person had been eaten.
The crowd went silent.
After a while, the Fate beast opened its bloody mouth and looked at the trial takers.
『Who's next?』 it asked.
Quite a few people shrunk back in fear.
A handsome youth stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."
His eyes were filled with determination.
『Ah? I just ate someone and you still dare to step forward?』 the Fate Beast was intrigued.
The handsome young man replied: "What happens to others has nothing to do with me, because I will definitely awaken, I will quickly grow and become the ruler of my own world — — - this is my destiny"
『Hm, quite the courage and ambition, then you shall be the one』 the Fate Beast spoke.
It opened its mouth and swallowed the young man whole.
Hundreds of sharp teeth bit and bit him. The young man couldn't help but scream in pain.
A few moments later.
The Fate Beast's throat moved and swallowed the young man whole.
『Next』 it spoke with a heavy voice.
Everyone exchanged glances.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "What happened to the young man just now?"
『As you can see, I ate him』 the Fate Beast answered.
That person was stunned and asked: "Why? Why didn't you let him awaken? "
The Fate Beast answered: 『You can't blame me for that, he didn't have the necessary talents and died』
『Death, is also a type of destiny』 it added.
Silence.
There was widespread silence.
An emotion called fear was growing in everyone's mind.
So even those without talents would die.
Chewed to death by the beast, then swallowed into its stomach …
Suddenly, someone shouted: "What kind of joke is this, I — — - I'm not participating in the trial, I want to live, I want to live!"
He was about to go crazy. His face was full of tears, and his forehead was covered with large beads of sweat.
Staggering a few steps, he turned around and ran for his life away from the Square.
The Fate Beast looked at this with disdain and didn't pay any attention to him.
From the void of space, a lot of whispering voices could be heard.
"So such a thing actually happened"
"It's been so many years, we meet again …"
"This batch won't do"
"A coward blessed by fate."
"That's quite rare"
A few moments later, these voices seemed to have reached an agreement.
"Let him be a janitor and die of old age on the island"
"Hm"
"Agreed"
"Agreed"
All the voices disappeared.
At the same time, a black hole appeared under the running man's feet.
He abruptly fell into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
The black hole slowly disappeared.
No traces could be seen where he was.
It was now that the challengers realized.
So the Gurus of the Institute were here the entire time, they just couldn't see them.
Perhaps the Gurus were silently observing them.
『Anyone else want to withdraw?』 the Fate beast asked.
It waited for a while.
No one said anything.
『Then I'll continue』 the Fate beast spoke.
Regardless of what these challengers were thinking, the Fate beast's devouring began again.
One after another, the challengers were devoured, then spat out all kinds of strange things.
Sometimes the Fate beast would spit out blood, sometimes it would spit out meat, sometimes it would even spit out a piece of bone.
No matter what it spat out, as long as it did, the challenger would be reborn.
When the Fate beast spat out a mass of water, countless voices of discussion resounded from the void of space.
"Look, it's water!"
"After being reborn, his soul was able to manifest a water omen, how rare"
"Quite the talent"
"Ah, I want to take this person as my disciple"
The mass of water quickly turned into a Disciple.
In front of him, three leaves appeared.
At this point in the trial, he was the one with the most God's Chosen items!
The rest of the trial went by very quickly.
Finally, it was Su Cher's turn.
The Fate beast's movements suddenly became gentle.
It reached its head out and placed it on the ground in front of Su Cher.
"I know your parents, during the calamity that year, they died for Fog Isle"
As the Fate beast spoke, its voice shook the air.
All the voices in the void of space went silent.
Everyone seemed to have fallen into their memories.
The Fate beast continued: 『Don't worry, if you don't have the talent, I will use my power to let you be reborn as a normal person, allowing you to live the rest of your life in peace on Fog Isle』
Su Cher seriously listened until the Fate beast finished.
Almost without thinking, she displayed a pure smile.
"Thank you, but if I really don't have the talent, please do what you did to that young man, eat me"
"Why? Isn't it good to be alive? "
"It's not like that"
Su Cher continued: "Being powerless against fate, trapped on a lonely island like a zombie, rather than living such a life, it's better to let my soul return, let me return to the place I love, let me see the people I care about. Even if I die, I, Su Cher, will have no regrets"
"Those are your last words?"
『Yes, if I don't have the talent』
『I promise you』
Saying so, the Fate beast opened its mouth full of sharp teeth.
Su Cher walked in.
At this moment, the entire void of space held their breaths.
Su Cher stood inside the Fate beast's mouth, waiting for the pain of being bitten by ten thousand teeth.
Because of fear, her entire body was trembling.
Her vision slowly turned from bright to dark.
This was because the Fate beast was slowly closing its mouth.
All of a sudden, the fear in Su Cher's eyes disappeared.
