Chapter 1297 - 585: Destiny Is Everywhere

Chapter 1297: Chapter 585: Destiny Is Everywhere

They have always been watching their own jokes.

"Speak up!!!"

"Are you all damn mute!!?"

The members of the Destiny Church, who were being glared at with anger, plunged into a dead silence at this moment, their hoods turning silently, all looking towards the person who misspoke.

Silent condemnation spread through the air.

It’s all your fault.

Explain yourself.

"..."

And the leader, after remaining silent for a long time under everyone’s gaze, awkwardly coughed twice, then said bravely:

"Ahem, um, Fate has given me new guidance. You need more time to accept... um, let’s leave for now."

He finished speaking to himself, deeply bowed and saluted Sammi, saying devotedly: "Chosen by Fate, Lord Sammi, you must understand how precious this gift of Fate is..."

Click.

Before the Priest of the Destiny Church could finish speaking, Sammi’s patience had reached its limit, and she could no longer suppress the rage within her heart.

"I understand your **!"

She roared angrily, directly throwing the dagger she had grasped towards the priest’s brow.

This throw contained hundreds of years of pent-up frustration and rage, moving so fast it tore the air.

This was the action of a Legendary Assassin in fury, carrying Sammi’s centuries of pain and anger, without any restraint.

Go to hell!

Idiot!!!

But the priest, facing the rapidly approaching dagger, reacted very calmly, standing still, raising a heavy ancient book.

The pages turned automatically without wind, emitting a secretive aura, stopping at a blank page.

In the next moment, ancient words swiftly appeared on the blank book.

——[Fate says, Sammi’s attack will lose accuracy due to rage.]

In the next moment, the dagger seemed to be nudged by an invisible hand, slightly shifting, brushing past the hood and embedding into the ice behind.

——[Fate says, the ricocheting dagger will cause even greater chaos.]

The dagger embedded in the ice, then bounced directly, thrusting towards a nearby giant ice spike.

Boom!

The ricocheting dagger unexpectedly cut through the several-meter-wide ice spike, causing the towering ice spike to collapse towards Sammi.

"Is this possible!?"

Sammi watched the ice spike crashing down towards herself, eyes widening in shock, feeling that her luck was truly terrible.

This familiar, despair-inducing chain of misfortune!

Is it all because of you!!?

She instinctively jumped back, trying to avoid the ice spike.

But just as she leapt up, she realized something was wrong, suddenly looking towards the members of Destiny Church, letting out an angry roar!

"You all!"

In the end, she watched helplessly as the members of Destiny Church respectfully saluted her, then disappeared instantly from the spot.

Like merging into shadows, leaving no trace behind.

"Don’t you dare run!"

These guys actually disappeared right in front of her.

Boom!!!

The ice spike crashed heavily, raising a storm of ice shards that coldly blew across Sammi’s face.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

"Damn it!"

"Come back to me!"

You damn well better explain yourselves!!?

Sammi howled in impotent rage, wishing she could tear that hateful group to pieces!

She stood before the collapsed ice spike, her chest heaving violently, nearly bursting her leather armor.

And within the icy hell, there was dead silence, with only the swirling ice dust responding to her anger.

...

...

Heroic Spirit Fortress.

"Wait a moment."

Herbert furrowed his brow slightly, asking: "Are you sure they claimed to be from ’Destiny Church’ and not ’Qi Fortune Church’?"

"...Yes, they are followers of Destiny Church, I recognize that Holy Emblem." The Legion Commander nodded affirmatively, certain there was no mistake.

That unique Holy Emblem resembling eyes capable of peering into all destiny paths, he definitely wouldn’t be mistaken.

"..."

After hearing the Legion Commander’s words, Herbert narrowed his eyes, contemplating the details, and began to nod slowly, thoughtfully.

Clues began to connect in his mind, pointing towards a name forgotten by the world, yet possibly still active in the shadows.

"Not followers of the Goddess of Fortune, but of the Goddess of Fate..."

"According to the stories spread throughout the world, the Goddess of Fate fell, and the Goddess of Fortune was born from Her body."

This is a well-known story, even the Gods do not question it, affirming its truth.

This is considered a universally acknowledged fact, and has no academic disputes.

After all, the Goddess of Fortune is right there, and the Qi Fortune Church also took over everything the Goddess of Fate left behind.

Everyone believes this is the standard procedure for Ancient Gods falling and New Gods taking over.

But now, according to the Legion Commander’s account, during the time when the Goddess of Fate should have fallen, there is a team from the Destiny Church walking the world.

Moreover, being able to affect the mind of an Epic Heroic Spirit like the Legion Commander within another divine’s kingdom, the team must be quite strong.

This is definitely not something ordinary believers or remnants can do; there must be a presence or a legacy supporting them from a higher divine position.

Who could it be?

This is hard to guess.

"Wait, does this mean..."

Herbert’s tightly furrowed brow suddenly relaxed, blinking as he slowly said, "Could this be considered... a fake death?"

Cough cough.

"However, it doesn’t necessarily mean only a True God can achieve this; with adequate preparation, even a Subordinate God or a special Angel could achieve it."

Squinting his eyes, Herbert shook his head, not pinning down his speculations, but continuing his analysis.

"Or perhaps, after the fall of the Goddess of Fate, there is still a group of stubborn believers unwilling to accept the fact that the divine has died, refusing to become followers of the Goddess of Fortune, which led them to conduct such actions by themselves?"

A group of zealots wielding fragments of fate’s authority, and firmly believing their divine will ultimately return, are able to do many unbelievable things.

But the question remains: why would they do this?

To resurrect the Goddess of Fate?

It’s not impossible.

Collecting faith? Weaving major events aligned with the concept of "destiny"? Or... perhaps searching for some special "container" or "opportunity"?

The Goddess of Fortune’s Main Divine Position leans more towards the luck’s good and bad, while the Goddess of Fate’s Main Divine Position is [Destiny], which makes a significant difference between the two.

If so many "destiny" aligned events occur globally, the power of the destiny divine position will be enhanced, and the Goddess of Fate might revive along with it.

Rather, a revival method should exist for Ancient Gods like the Goddess of Fate.

After Her fall, less than half a day passed before the newborn Goddess of Fortune was born, and most people naturally considered this as Her revival method.

But now, in retrospect, this might not be the complete "revival," but some sort of... transfer or division of authority?

No matter the case, one thing is certain.

Beneath the unnoticed shadows of the world, an organization has been quietly moving.

Their purpose is unknown, methods mysterious, capable of easily influencing the minds of Epic Strongmen, affecting the direction of "destiny."

This is not considered rare.

Various schools, organizations, secret societies, churches... all operate secretly like this.

The unique aspect is that the members of this organization likely hail from a powerful ancient god church.

Possibly, it might be the Destiny Church itself concealing its presence.

"I recall the first rule of the Destiny Church scripture is..."

Herbert reminisced about the knowledge gained from Ophidia, recalling the ancient doctrine, squinting his eyes.

"Destiny is secretive, is omnipresent."

"Haha, I must say, this is truly secretive."

He gently shook his head, feeling curious about this deeply hidden church.

It goes without saying that their actions in the shadows must be significant, yet for so many years, not a whisper reaches the world.

Even the Gods are unaware of this.

What exactly are they scheming?

A simple resurrection of the Goddess of Fate?

Or perhaps something more?

"Nenasha, what do you think?"

Concluding his thoughts, Herbert decided to ask for Miss Harmonious God’s opinion.

["Huh? You’re asking me?"]

Surprised by the question, Nenasha hesitated for a moment, then loudly declared without hesitation:

["Destiny is a bitch!"]

Hmm?
