Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 406 Chapter 89 Miss Destiny and the Angel of Destiny

The moment she passed through the door, Alice felt dizzy, as if something was about to tear her soul apart.

Oh, does this count as motion sickness…spirituality is motion sickness…

Amidst the dizziness and pain, Alice couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.

When everything finally returned to normal and the discomfort disappeared, Alice found herself on an ocean illuminated by the dusk light.

The gravel and stones here are all black. The deep blue waves surge in from afar, hitting the edge layer by layer, but without making the sound of the tide.

They are quiet, like a grand illusion show.

Alice felt the gaze from the legendary "true creator" and she subconsciously looked in the direction of the gaze. It was a mountain bathed in dusk, on which were countless palaces, countless towers and a majestic city wall.

This should be the real "Giant King's Court"... Alice seemed to have a sense of something and saw Leo Master walking over excitedly.

……never mind.

Compared to Leo Master, she was obviously a by-product. The gaze of the "real creator" stayed on her, but the muttering did not ring in her ears. Instead, the first thing Alice heard was the vague sound of prayer.

"...,
"I pray for your attention,

"I beg you to hear me,

"I pray for a good dream..."

Alice had heard this childish male voice countless times above the gray fog—it was none other than "The Sun" Derrick Berg.

Alice thought for a moment, ignoring the gazes still on her, and took a step forward, stepping on the illusory waves towards the real "Giant King's Court".

When her feet finally stepped on the land of "God's Forsaken Land", with clear prayers, the light of faith lit up, and Alice saw Derrick's location.

Eh, it seems to be quite close...

Alice began to seriously consider the possibility of going over to take a look.

Her goal was actually very clear. It was at the end of the "God-forsaken Land", at the border with the Western Continent... Wait, how far was it?
Alice looked back at the dark ocean behind her, then at the towering mountains in front of her, and fell into deep thought.

How long will she have to go?

After staring at Leo Master's back as he climbed the mountain and thinking for two seconds, Alice turned around along the foot of the mountain and prepared to bypass the "Giant King's Court" first.

The light of "Apollo" radiated from her body, and monsters were lurking in the darkness. Apart from that, Alice could vaguely sense the chaotic power and rules here.

Maybe she could use the chaos here to move, but if she wasn't careful, she would fall into some strange place... This intuition crossed Alice's mind, making her realize that her last possibility of speed running had also disappeared.

——If she didn’t want to ask Amon for help, she could only walk to the end of the “God-Forsaken Land” and to the border between the “God-Forsaken Land” and the Western Continent.

...Maybe Silver City has a solution?
Or, Leo Master... No, he wouldn't climb the mountain if he had any other way, he... Wait, could he be climbing the mountain out of piety?
That's not right. This is what normal people think. The Aurora Society... um...

Alice began to move forward while thinking.

How about trying divination?
Halfway through the journey, Alice finally remembered her final secret: she could find the answers to all her questions through divination.

As an angel on the path of "destiny", she has surpassed the stage of roaming the spirit world through the astral body to seek answers. Her relationship with the river of destiny is so close, yet so distant, that she can completely peek into the river of destiny... wait, where's the river?

The chaotic scenes that used to make people feel irritated did not appear this time. The long river of light that was seen during the promotion also disappeared, as if it did not exist at all.

Alice stood there for a while, realizing that this was probably the most special place in the "God-Forsaken Land" - the spiritual world here was blocked.

...?
Key of Light? Where is the Key of Light? Are you blocked too? Isn't this place closer to you?
Alice screamed wildly in her heart, but received no response. After a few minutes, she finally gave up and had to move on.

She realized that from now on, she would face an extremely embarrassing situation - her authority was almost impossible to use.

Although she didn't know how to use it... maybe she didn't know how to use it at all.

Alice looked up at the sky, and a flash of lightning streaked across the sky as if in response, causing her to lower her head in silence again.

...Leodro, you're crazy!
She walked forward cursing in her head, and soon she became bored again. In her impression, the monsters only peeked in the darkness, and the light from "Apollo" made it impossible for the monsters to get close. She couldn't even fight...wait, how was she going to fight?
Alice remembered Anderson's taunting—did she have no other means of attack besides bad luck?
Oh, of course she does, she also has mental attack capabilities - but will that work against monsters?
"No, actually I have another way..." Alice stepped on the ground, looked at the monsters around her, and said thoughtfully, "I can transform into a mythical creature and pounce on it... Uh, no, the 'Mercury Snake' has no teeth, I think I can only eat it alive..."

Alice stopped, slowly raised her head, looked at the monster in the dark, and licked her lips.

...What does it taste like?

No, wait, Alice, wait a minute, you shouldn't eat this, it will cause trouble... Uh, should I restart myself... Wait, it may be too late to restart, I can get stuck in a fate cycle in advance...

The reaction of her spirit was much faster than that of her brain. A silver river formed around her and circled her - now she could eat the monster without worry.

...So why would I do this?
Before she did anything even stranger, Alice quickened her pace and left.

A few minutes later, Alice swallowed her saliva and stood in the same position, lost in thought - the node of the cycle was swallowing.

A speechless feeling spread in her heart, as if she wanted to curse but didn't know what to say. Alice gritted her teeth, untied the cycle of fate in her body, and continued to move forward at the foot of the mountain.

In order to prevent her thoughts from jumping into unexpected and bizarre directions, Alice lowered her head and counted her steps attentively.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The road is so long, will it be faster to climb the mountain? Not necessarily, this mountain looks quite high, I wonder if Leo Master has climbed it... Where did I count just now?

One step, two steps, three steps...

It seems that Xiao Yang and the others are not moving much. They are always circling in that area. Is that Silver City? Is Silver City so close... Where did I count again?
One step, two steps, three steps...

Why is the "True Creator" still looking at me? Doesn't He have anything else to do? Speaking of Ouroboros, I remember I believe in Him, right? Will He tell Ouroboros my location... Uh, can He see my situation?
I don’t know, forget it, I don’t want to think about it... Wait, where did I count to now?

One step, two steps, three steps...

After starting over again and again, Alice finally stood on the other side of the "Giant King's Court", where there was a town in the twilight.

Under the lightning, the image of the town became clear. It was built at the foot of the mountain and was naturally divided into upper, middle and lower levels.

Here, gray stones were piled up to form different houses. Some were hollowed out and nearly ten meters high, while others were surprisingly short. Alice felt that if Leo Master stood here, he could probably break through the roofs of some of the buildings. These buildings were compactly arranged and spread out. Some had collapsed, while others were still strong, but they were all stained with traces of staleness and decay.

The candlelight reflected from the windows of the houses, along with the uneven heights of the houses, made Alice confused.

"Is there such a big difference in height between the residents here... Also, is there anyone else living here? Why are they turning on the lights..."

Confused, Alice approached the window of one of the houses, put her face against it and looked inside.

The bright light penetrated the windows and walls, illuminating the room. Alice saw a humanoid creature covered with short black hair jumping up and down to avoid the light.

...?
Really, there are people living here...

Alice was stunned for a moment, and took a few steps back, leaving the edge of the room to the darkness. She thought for a moment, bowed to the creature in the darkness, and said seriously:
"Feel sorry.

“I, I didn’t mean to disturb you.

"I'm just a little curious...I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, Alice turned around and left in a hurry, and in the process circled the light emitted by "Apollo" to prevent it from penetrating into the house.

The position of "Sun" Derrick has not changed for a long time. Alice guessed that he was resting, or rather, they were resting.

——That should be an exploration team.

Alice gathered the beam of light and walked on the road illuminated by the morning light, passing through different alleys little by little, heading to the other end of the town.

Alice was very curious about these houses of different heights. She wanted to go in and take a look, especially the taller ones, to see if the furniture inside was just as huge.

But thinking of the "resident" who had hurriedly avoided the light just now, Alice realized that the "residents" in these houses were most likely afraid of light.

Such a visit was not polite, so Alice gave up and decided to wait until she met the exploration team from the City of Silver before asking them about the situation.

Maybe, maybe they know a way to visit...

Alice thought absentmindedly as she finally approached the other end of the town.

In the light that seemed too dim compared to that of "Apollo", there were a dozen figures gathered together. Some were standing vigilantly, while others were lying down - they should be resting.

Realizing this, Alice thought about it and walked towards that team.

And up ahead, in the safe area isolated by animal skin lanterns, was the exploration team led by Silver City's chief "demon hunter" Colin Iliad.

The ones on duty were "Sun" Derrick, as well as "Weapon Master" Joshua and "Dawn Knight" Haim from the same group.

Not long ago, the power of the altar in Afternoon Town leaked out, which had a huge impact on their exploration. Nearly one-third of the members stayed here forever.

As the group following the chief, their condition was undoubtedly the best, and they naturally assumed the responsibility of being on duty.

When the light appeared in the distance, Haim, who was in charge of the afternoon town, was the first to notice the problem. He shouted in the other two directions:
"Hey, come and see!
"what is that?"

Joshua and Derrick's attention was drawn to him. The light was approaching at a speed that was neither fast nor slow. At first it was just a point of light, but it soon turned into a ball of light.

When the image finally became clear, they realized that there was a blurry figure in the center, which was the source of the light.

In the midst of silence, someone shouted loudly:
"Go call the Chief!"

This sound woke them up from their dream, and they realized that the remaining members of the exploration team had gathered here.

They looked around and found that their companions had already been attracted by this strange sight. Even the chief Colin Iliad was standing behind them, looking at the figure gradually approaching them in the light.

This is inevitable.

Except for newborns and uneducated children, everyone in Silver City knew that in this land abandoned by the gods, no one except humans could use fire to create light in the darkness.

Even monsters that are good at controlling flames lurk in dark environments before launching an attack. As for other humans, all the city-states discovered by the City of Silver so far have long been destroyed and turned into ruins, with no survivors.

The only outsider they had ever seen was the strange kid Jack - no news about that kid had been released.

For the City of Silver, light is faith, hope, and the goal they have always been pursuing.

Light...

The figure walking towards them bathed in light finally stood in front of them. The figure was wearing a loose silver-white robe, which emitted a little light, and seemed to be the source of the light.

The robe had a hood, but she did not put it on, revealing her entire face. It was the face of a young girl that had not yet lost her childishness, with clear and gentle blue eyes and brilliant golden hair.

If there were a sun, would it be roughly that color?
This thought flashed through Derrick's heart, and then he looked at Chief Colin Iliad, their backbone.

The chief of the City of Silver stepped forward, stood in front of everyone, and asked Alice:
"who are you?"

When the strange language reached Alice's ears, she was shocked to realize a fact she had overlooked - she didn't know Giant language.

So...why did she understand?

Alice realized that she understood the meaning of the question. She opened her mouth and suddenly found that she could speak Giant language without any obstacle.

This was probably one of the few treasures left to her from the past.

Alice sighed softly and glanced at Derrick. Of course, she recognized Derrick who had prayed to her, but Derrick didn't seem to recognize her.

This gave Alice a strange idea. After all, when she set foot on the land of "God's Forsaken Land", although she heard Derrick's prayer, she did not respond.

——That is to say, up to now, Derrick probably didn’t know that she had come to the “God-Forsaken Land” and the City of Silver.

This gave Alice a chance to not use her real name, or even say something strange, like...

After the sigh, Alice raised her head and looked at the tall chief with sad eyes, and said in a low and heavy voice:
"I am the angel of destiny under the Lord's throne, Ouroboros, also known as the 'Tail Swallower'."
