Mystery: Lucky One

Derrick didn't know how to respond to this sentence.

Being a chess piece is really not a pleasant experience, but to be a chess piece in the game between two gods, maybe he should feel...honored?
Derrick obviously did not have this awareness yet. He clenched his fists unconsciously, and a strong desire for power surged in his heart.

Alger did not comment on Alice's words. He looked at Derrick and gave a more detailed explanation of "hedging your bets":
"Any intelligent creature with eyes and brains can detect the danger of the 'True Creator'. Your chief will never put all his chips on Him. He will definitely seek a power that can check and balance the 'True Creator'.

"And you who have uncovered their conspiracy and been possessed by 'The Blasphemer' Amon may represent another possibility.

"The more Lovia and others want to harm you, the more the chief and other elders will protect you. In this way, they will also pretend not to see some of the doubts you may have had that have not been cleared up before."

Now Audrey understood. She was not surprised that her level was quite different from Alger's, but she glanced at Alice and couldn't help but reflect on herself.

...Why can Miss Destiny understand it?

Audrey wanted to puff her cheeks or do some other actions to vent her emotions, but the aristocratic accomplishments engraved in her bones made her give up. She looked down at Alice's legs dangling under the bench. , Audrey suddenly sighed in her heart.

Forsi was amazed after listening to Alger's analysis, and was a little stunned for a moment - how could this be a good thing?

Emlyn had a hard time listening to this content. He didn't understand Lovia's previous relationship, but he knew something about the little boy Jack and the cycle of fate. He could still barely understand what others were discussing.

Only Cattleya was full of shock and confusion. Looking at the Tarot Club members who were not high in rank, she felt her self-confidence was hit.

After listening to Alger's analysis, Derrick relaxed a little first, then sat upright again. He asked in a tight tone:

"Will this cause our Silver City to be destroyed by the 'Fallen Creator'?"

"I think," Alice turned to him and said, "If you say 'Fallen Creator' outside, it's hard to say whether Silver City can survive until then."

Derrick was stunned for a moment, but Alice continued with a smile: "You have believed in your former master for thousands of years, and now you suddenly change your faith, and you still want to curse others?"

Derrick then reconsidered his words and said, "Will this cause our Silver City to be destroyed by the 'True Creator'?"

Alice spread her hands and said:

"It's hard to say.

"For the level of the 'True Creator', just turning over while sleeping is enough to destroy the nearby human city.

"And your chief is actually hedging his bets now - ha, you should praise Mr. Fool for his kindness now.

"Because if I encounter this situation, even if I ruin my own plan, I will also destroy what that daring human being cares about most."

In fact, Alice thought that the more likely choice she would make was to let the other person see hope before destroying everything, but after taking a look at Derrick's face, she rationally did not say anything.

But it was enough. Derrick became confused. He looked nervously at Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table. As soon as he stood up, he heard Alice ask in surprise:

"Are you really going to praise Him for His mercy?"

This made Derrick not know whether to stand or sit. He stopped where he was and kept bending his knees slightly. Klein could not bear it and warned aloud:

"Don't make such a joke."

Alice suddenly remembered Klein's cold "This joke is not funny". She turned to Derrick and said with an unprecedented sincerity:

"I'm sorry. "I shouldn't have made fun of something you care about. "

"...It doesn't matter," Derrick said after being quiet for a few seconds, "Thank you for the reminder, Miss Destiny. And thank you for your forgiveness, the great Mr. Fool."

Alice finally couldn't hold back and asked the question she had wanted to ask before: "Why don't you call me 'The Great Miss Destiny'?"

After a few seconds of silence, Derrick said to Alice: "Thank you for the reminder, great Miss Destiny."

Alice withdrew her gaze with satisfaction.

Just like a child begging for something... Cattleya looked at this scene and felt that she could suddenly understand the relationship between "The World" and Alice.

Cattleya suddenly had an idea. She turned to Alice and asked in a casual tone: "Miss Destiny, your tone when mentioning Amon seems familiar. Are you friends?"

"Why aren't you afraid of me anymore?" Alice looked at her doubtfully.

Cattleya was suspiciously silent for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "I suddenly discovered that you are really an approachable and great being."

Alice opened her mouth in surprise, and after being silent for more than ten seconds, she said:
"You know, I just finally understood how Amon felt when I praised him as a benevolent god.

"Yes, I am a great person who is approachable."

Cattleya wanted to say something, but obviously, it was a bit too difficult for her to take up this topic.

Alice blinked twice and smiled:

"I don't know how you define a 'friend' relationship.

“Amon and I had a lot of fun, but that’s about it.

"The strongest emotion I have ever had for Amon was that once I wanted to kill him - Mr. Fool didn't even hit me, so why should Amon?"

In the gray fog, Klein began to seriously consider the possibility of beating Alice.

...Wait a minute, is he invincible now?

No, forget it, it’s meaningless. With Alice’s character, she would probably just start pretending to be pitiful and exaggeratingly shouting in pain before he takes action...

Klein sighed deeply in his heart.

He never got beaten... Mr. Fool has such a good temper!

Such emotions flashed through the hearts of the members of the Tarot Society, but soon, some of the earlier members cast their sympathetic gaze on "The World".

...Mr. Fool didn't beat her because it was usually "the world" that was tortured!

At this time, Cattleya asked: "Has Mr. Sun been possessed by Amon?"

"Actually, I was also possessed by Amon!" Alice raised her hand not to be outdone.

Cattleya was silent for two seconds and then asked: "So, how was this matter resolved?" (End of Chapter)
