Chapter 1511: The truth of the fable!

There was nothing on the altar at all.

Reneedol was clearly surprised.

“Lachesis, my sister, you’ve always been the one to plan everything out, it makes natural sense for you to be able to hide things from us…”

She paced around the divine palace and carefully observed every corner, but still couldn’t discover anything.

Without any other options, Reneedol raised the Starlight Bow and once again drew the string to a full arc.

Pah!

The starlight manifested into an arrow that flashed in the air.

With a resounding explosion, Lachesis’ statue was destroyed in a single shot.

Reneedol walked forward and took a careful look.

But there were still no Divine Artifacts inside the statue, nor any hidden mechanisms.

Reneedol stood still and muttered to herself: “This can’t be. Before their deaths in the past, the Deities had gathered all of their powers to manifest each of us three sisters a Divine Artifact, and I’ve indeed received Clotho’s Divine Artifact——- so why is Lachesis’ Divine Artifact nowhere to be seen?”

She put the Starlight Bow away and clasped her hands together, whispering: “Plate of Destiny’s End, manifest a protective armor for my Fate Spirit”

A dark glow appeared from Reneedol’s armor to manifest as the featureless dark humanoid face behind her.

This time, the featureless dark humanoid face was no longer simply dark, it had gained a large number of black armor plates all over its face, which appeared even more terrifying.

The featureless dark humanoid face spoke in a resounding voice: 「 You are currently injured, but your enemy has just discovered this location and is rapidly approaching. You must leave this place as soon as possible 」

Reneedol’s expression froze briefly before raising her hand.

“Very well, I’ve already obtained two Divine Artifacts, which should be more than enough to accomplish the next step…”

A mass of starlight poured out from the pendant on her neck into her hand.

「 Hurry! 」the featureless dark humanoid urged her.

“I’ll make it in time!” Reneedol hurriedly replied.

She threw the starlight towards a certain direction, then vanished into the void of space and disappeared.

———she had left.

The orange cat instinctively knew that it was dangerous, so he instantly summoned white fog.

Right as he left, he saw a thin long tentacle reaching out from the void of space.

Before the vertical irises on the tentacle could even open, the mass of starlight had already struck it.

Boom!!!

The tentacle only managed to endure for a split second before being completely obliterated.

The starlight continued to fly towards the three statues and broke them into a mass of debris.

…

Inside the divine palace of Death.

A mass of white fog had just scattered, revealing the orange cat.

Hoh—-

A number of bubbles escaped from the orange cat’s mouth.

He put his paw on his chest with a relieved expression.

That was dangerous.

The starlight that Reneedol’s pendant gave off contained irresistible power, capable of eradicating me in almost an instant.

Even if the Lord of Infinite Origins had arrived, it was already too late.

Facing that level of power, just one of his tentacles wasn’t even a challenge.

The orange cat relaxed his body to let it float in the water and slowly fell into thought.

Reneedol only obtained a pendant and a suit of armor, but apparently didn’t find the last Divine Artifact.

——three Divine Artifacts of Fate, one is missing.

Other than that, Reneedol had destroyed the three statues before she left.

If she had done that to cause trouble for the Lord of Infinite Origins who was about to arrive—-

—–that can’t be right!

The Lord of Infinite Origins had countless tentacles, so it didn’t matter if he lost one of them.

Then why did Reneedol have to destroy the three statues at the very last moment?

While the orange cat was contemplating this, he suddenly saw a few tentacles appearing from the dim water around him.

These tentacles quickly writhed and moved around the divine palace of Death, attempting to search for anything that might be suspicious.

The orange cat didn’t bother to pay attention to these tentacles and continued to ponder his thoughts.

Time slowly passed.

The black tentacles searched everywhere, but couldn’t find anything at all; unwillingly to stop in the water, they continued to move all over.

Suddenly—-

The entire divine palace trembled.

A large amount of soot and dust fell from the ceiling like mist, causing the water to become murky.

The tentacles seemed to have realized something and swiftly pulled away.

The orange cat regained his senses.

——what happened? Why do I have a bad feeling?

The orange cat returned into white fog and disappeared.

The Isle of Protection.

The orange cat appeared in the shadow of a certain building’s roof, then looked around in shock.

The stone wall above them was continuously rumbling like there was about to be a huge cave-in.

As far as his eyes could see, innumerable tentacles reached out from the Isle and river water into the sky, doing everything it could to hold the ceiling up.

The orange cat swiftly understood.

—–the Samsara’s debris!

Debris from the Samsara was still continuously falling through the Reality Gate into this world.

——-all life has gone extinct on the surface, and now even the Pantheon is about to be crushed!

This was the only situation where the Lord of Infinite Origins would temporarily ignore everything else to maintain the current status quo.

Observing this, the orange cat’s expression slowly became grim.

If the Samsara debris continued to accumulate like this, it would only be a matter of time until the Apocalypses arrived.

At that time, even the Lord of Infinite Origins wouldn’t necessarily be able to guarantee his life!

Shannu’s voice was suddenly heard:

“Gongzi, what do we do now? Let’s hurry and run”

The Earth sword sighed emotionally: 「 Run? Where else can we run to now? There’s nowhere to actually hide anymore 」

Luo Bing Li commented: “Let’s run further down, at least we’d be able to delay death”

The orange cat stayed silent for a few moments before he entered white fog again and vanished from the Isle of Protection.

…

White fog scattered.

The orange cat once again reappeared in the divine palace of Fate.

——-the World Technique [Fog Realm Descent] that was manifested by the worlds of the past allowed him to travel to any place that he had been to before.

After searching for a while in the divine palace of Fate, the orange cat had carefully looked through every corner but still couldn’t find anything.

He thought briefly and asked in his mind: “Where is the Deity of Fate Lachesis’ Divine Artifact?”

A short moment later.

A strand of black thread appeared out of thin air, coiled around the orange cat’s paw, then wrapped around his arm.

The orange cat was a bit surprised.

—–not even [Longing] could find that Divine Artifact?

Could that Divine Artifact have already been destroyed?

The orange cat thought briefly, then felt that something wasn’t quite right.

He suddenly noticed that the Thread of Fate was still coiled around his paw, but the other end was reaching up towards his chest.

The orange cat quickly understood.

He searched the fur at this chest, pulled out an Inventory Bag, then took out the mass of dirt.

——after Reneedol killed Lachesis, her body was reduced to this pile of dirt.

The orange cat held the pile of dust, thought briefly, then called out in his mind: “Luo Bing Li, is it possible?”

The Heaven sword had been silently observing behind him, so Luo Bing Li quickly replied:

“Possibly, but most likely also impossible”

She continued to explain: “——-I don’t mind using [Chaotic Flow], since an ability only exists to be used, not to mention the dangerous situation we’re currently in, but this Deity’s powers had already been fully absorbed by Reneedol. This was the power of the Law of Fate, as well as a Causality Law, and above all else, a mystical connection between them, so I would most likely not be able to make her return to a moment in the past”

The orange cat silently spoke in his mind: “Give it a try, I’m a bit hopeful about this”

「 “”Huh?””」his four swords questioned at once.

The Earth sword asked: 「 Why are you hopeful about this psychotic woman? 」

Shannu asked: “Did gongzi notice something?”

The orange cat pondered: “I suspect that I’ve made a certain mistake”

“What is it?” Luo Bing Li asked.

“The Destined Fable that Boss told—– in reality, we only hid inside the secret room that one time, which didn’t fit the story” the orange cat said.

The Earth sword asked: 「 You mean, that fable about the three little pigs and their three houses was incorrect? Or did you think of something else? 」

The orange cat explained: “The individuals who were most closely related to Fate in this world were actually the three Deities of Fate”

The three little pigs corresponded to the three Deities of Fate, while this seemed far fetched, it also seemed to somehow relate the more one thought about it.

The orange cat continued: “I noticed that when Reneedol talked about Lachesis, she mentioned that ‘among us three sisters of fate, you were the most psychotic and most feared’, or ‘Lachesis, my sister, you’ve always been the one to plan everything out, it makes natural sense for you to be able to hide things from us'”

Shannu was confused: “What’s wrong with these words?”

The orange cat explained: “This suggests that the true person in power among the three sisters of Fate had always been Lachesis, and it was only after Reneedol entered this body that this situation changed”

The orange cat then asked: “——So why was Lachesis able to hold the true ruling authority of the Myriad Deities among the three sisters and manage everything?”

The four swords were silent.

The Earth sword said: 「 Just tell us straight, what exactly did you find out? 」

The orange cat’s eyes lit up: “Earlier, we saw with our own eyes how Reneedol’s thoughts were influenced during her battle against the Lord of Infinite Origins. If I hadn’t interfered, she might not have been able to escape”

“Before Reneedol killed Lachesis, Lachesis had said that the Lord of Infinite Origins couldn’t control the minds of pixies, and yet on the Isle of Protection earlier, we clearly saw the pixies being under his control, she might have simply been lying”

“Of course, this might simply be because the Lord of Infinite Origins had thought of a new method of control—– I don’t know if you noticed or not, but Lachesis had disguised herself as an elven General earlier, and the Lord of Infinite Origins couldn’t even detect her presence!”

The Earth sword cut in: 「 In other words—– 」

The orange cat continued: “They said that the Myriad Deities of the Dusty World had all fallen under control, so there was only one reason why Lachesis managed to escape from the Dusty World: she had a way to avoid being controlled by the Lord of Infinite Origins, perhaps even disguising herself and deceiving him while she was right in front of him”

The orange cat raised his tail and grabbed the Heaven sword.

“In the Destined Fable, the houses of the first two little piggies couldn’t keep the big bad wolf out and were swiftly destroyed”

“Only the third little pig managed to keep the big bad wolf out due to having a sturdy house”

“Lachesis was the true protagonist of the Destined Fable. Even the Lord of Infinite Origins couldn’t take control of her, she was the real core of the Myriad Deities”

“We must resurrect her!”
