Chapter 804: 527. Underground Cathedral_2
How should I say this, the fate puppet cannot guarantee you will reach the destiny you want, but it can increase the probability.
For example, normally your chance of finding that thing is one in a billion, but with the fate puppet, the probability can increase to one in ten thousand. Although the hope is still slim, it’s somewhat comforting.
Anyway, it’s quite mystical, the kind of path you’d gamble on when you have no other options.
Back when Mother Dragon was searching for the runaway Adam and Dorothy, she had sought out Spider Teacher to make a lot of fate puppets and scattered them worldwide. Unfortunately, these puppets were of no use in the end. It was still Mother Dragon’s unbeatable power and undying will to find her daughter that eventually worked.
In this idealistic Witch World, faith works better than any fancy tricks.
Anyway, Dorothy’s face turned green with distress upon learning about this. After all, don’t underestimate the fate puppets even if their function is quite unimpressive; they’re expensive due to their association with the supreme power of fate. Each one is costly to produce, and the most critical point is that most of these fate puppets are disposable. Once given a command, they cannot be reused.
In short, heaven knows how much money Mother Dragon spent on this.
But, strictly speaking, Mother Dragon used them the wrong way.
The main function for which fate puppets were designed is indeed to find things, but not to locate specific items. Their real use, as Denisha just explained, is actually to find fate.
If you set its goal on a particular item, the success rate is indeed very low. But if you set the goal within a certain range, the success rate greatly increases.
For example, if you want to find a partner and insist on a specific person, you’ll chase painfully. However, if you set criteria such as fair complexion, beautiful appearance, and long legs, rather than a specific person, your range of options greatly increases, and so does your success rate.
Therefore, if used correctly, fate puppets can be very useful.
For instance, the robot nun in front of them.
If the craftsmanship of this nun includes fate puppet technology, then her recent preaching to the two might not be random. It could be a direction from fate,
“But I am fate-insulated.”
Dorothy was still puzzled.
She didn’t know why she was not good at fate magic until she met Sophia, who finally explained it to her.
It was all because of her peculiar ever-changing destiny pattern.
If the target’s destiny pattern is uncertain, the power of fate has difficulty affecting the person.
It’s like divining fate for someone; you need to know their birth details. But if those details are constantly changing, how can fate be divined?
The basic entry threshold for the Prophecy Magic is to first understand your own destiny pattern.
Dorothy struggled with this because she didn’t know her own destiny pattern.
This mysterious destiny pattern made it difficult for her to learn Prophecy Magic and master the power of fate. However, it had an advantage: most fate abilities were ineffective on her. She was naturally immune to most Prophecy Magic influences, even the illegitimate daughter of the Goddess of Fate, Sophia, had no way to deal with her destiny pattern. freёweɓnovel.com
Thus, this little fate puppet shouldn’t work on her either.
Thinking this, Dorothy glanced at Denisha beside her, considering that the robot nun might have been seeking her good sister.
“Dorothy, you know me. It’s impossible for any fate power to work on me without my knowledge.”
Seeing her sister’s expression, Denisha understood, shrugged helplessly, and said.
She was merely an incarnation and did not have an independent destiny pattern, sharing one with her true self. The destiny pattern of the God King was extremely noble in the Western Universe. Especially after defeating the Lord of Glory and gaining part of the fate authority from him, the Western Universe’s fate could no longer affect her.
If Dorothy’s destiny pattern was like an ordinary person hidden in the crowd, hard to find, the God King’s pattern was like the Lord of the World, openly sitting there, but no one dared challenge her authority.
“Alright, you’re the boss.”
After a brief silence, Dorothy felt that her good sister made a lot of sense.
Denisha was formidable enough not to be messed with by fate. As the most omniscient and omnipotent Witch King next to the Omniscient and Omnipotent, God King, she was almost divine though not yet a god.
In Eastern terms, she had escaped the Three Realms and the Five Elements, truly unfettered.
In this aspect, even the Dragon King and the Devil King couldn’t compare to her.
“So, it’s really seeking me then. Either it found a way around my fate insulation or the robot nun made a mistake.”
Dorothy pondered.
But fortunately, she didn’t have to worry long because the robot nun soon led them through twists and turns to a hidden alley. After the nun tapped on the walls in a certain pattern, the ground cracked open, revealing a passage leading underground.
Considering they were on the Noah’s Ark, it should be called leading to the ship’s hold rather than underground.
“Impressive.”
Looking at the hidden passage, Dorothy nodded with interest, enjoying the sense of adventure.
Of course, she suspected a conspiracy by Sophia, like sending the robot nun to lead her into some trap. But seeing her good sister beside her, the homebody witch was fearless.
As long as she had a strong backer, she feared nothing.
Thus, Dorothy confidently walked down the dimly lit underground stairs.
At first narrow, barely passing, then descending several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up…
Well, the stairs were just for show; the homebody witch, sensing her growing nausea, knew these were disguised teleportation steps. Soon, light appeared at the end.
As Dorothy held back her discomfort and stepped out, a clean but simple church appeared before her.
The homebody witch curiously glanced around, soon attracted by something in place of a statue at the church’s end.
It was a painting.
A pitch-black night, with a huge silver full moon rising like the sun from a tranquil water’s surface. This moon was so large that even as it just peeked over the horizon, its massive shadow plunged the world into darkness.
Though it was a moon, it wasn’t bright. It didn’t emit the clear white moonlight but seemed to absorb the world’s light instead. The halo at its edge was a darkness deeper than the night. (Referencing Lani’s dark moon.)
Below the dark moon painting stood a nun, facing away, observing the dark moon in the painting.
Upon hearing some sound, the nun turned around, revealing a face that made Dorothy’s eyes widen instantly.
“Sisters, welcome to the Moon Worship Cult. I am Eve, the moon’s proxy.”
The nun with a face identical to Euphilia said.
My god…
… Dorothy was shocked…
