Mystery: Lucky One

This is a possibility Alice guessed.

The rituals of each sequence of the "Destiny" path exude a sense of confusion, especially Sequence 0 - what does it mean to find the right opportunity in the torrent of destiny?

Now it seems that fate may have answered this question for them through a common dream.

Alice had tried to interpret that horrific dream at the very beginning, but unfortunately, she was so frightened at the time that she thought she might become material for the potion.

And now it seems...

Maybe she needed to escape this fate, or maybe, or maybe...

Alice remembered the promotion ceremony of the "Mercury Snake".

...It can't be that my chance is a destined death? Wouldn't the two rituals be repeated?
That being said, Alice knew very well that this possibility was actually not small - if one wanted to escape from one's original fate, for the extraordinary people on the "fate" path, dying first and then restarting was undoubtedly the best option.

Regardless of her own vision, if the scene Will Auceptin saw was one of swallowing her, Alice suspected it might be a misinterpreted revelation.

- For example, Will Auceptin didn't know that she needed to reach the top of the "Destiny" path alone, she only knew that such an ending was His opportunity.

As for Ouroboros... Ouroboros honestly showed the dream to Alice. From his performance, Alice thought it should be true.

He doesn't look like a thoughtful person.

As for Ouroboros' dream itself, if it could be considered an opportunity, Alice felt that the dream actually revealed only one meaning - becoming a god has nothing to do with you, so forget about it.

After all, it's in the third person... Of course, if one interprets it in a slightly different way, one might think that she is just sitting back and reaping the benefits? Or, like Will Auceptin, one might take the initiative to instigate a fight between her and Will Auceptin...

So, in a sense, Will Auceptin died because of his own choice, and it was all his own fault... No, that's not the case. It should be said that he was in a hurry to be reincarnated.

Klein didn't know Alice's complete guess, and he wasn't familiar with Will Auceptin, so he didn't make a judgment on Alice's guess. He just reminded her:
“He should know that we know each other, right?”

Alice paused slightly as she realized this.

Things have come to this point, and the relationship between her and Klein should no longer be hidden from Will Auceptin. Even if Klein changes his face and identity, it will probably be useless.

After all, she could recognize Klein in all his different costumes. It seemed that Beyonders from the Destiny Path were, in a sense, very good at recognizing people.

However, Alice's goal had been achieved, and it seemed that Klein had forgotten to continue asking her what she had done - otherwise she should have thought carefully about how to explain her self-introduction in the City of Silver.

Well, I have to warn Little Sun not to talk nonsense later.

Thinking of this, Alice asked Klein thoughtfully:

"In this case, if you run into Him again, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"

Klein was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, Alice reached out and patted his shoulder, saying generously:
"How about this? Why don't you just pretend to convert to Him, and then..."

Klein brushed her hand away.

"That's really courting death!" He rolled his eyes at Alice. "But, we haven't met in real life very often, maybe..."

"That's no use," Alice pouted, "You were right beside me when I got the 'uniqueness'."

This is an unsolvable fact. If it were any other scene, Will Auceptin would most likely not have seen it. However, since it was about "uniqueness", Will Auceptin probably had a premonition of such a crucial turning point, but it might have been too late by the time he realized it...

It was as if Amon had followed her home and the spirit had reminded her.

Unable to think of a good idea, Klein remembered the question he had forgotten before and asked tentatively:

"So, what did you do in the 'Forsaken Land'?"

He looked at Alice, who was blinking her big, innocent eyes at him. After two seconds of silence, Klein realized that Alice must have done something again.

He opened his mouth to say something, but Alice spoke to him eagerly, as if she was running for her life:
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

Before anyone could say anything to stop her, Alice had already escaped from the gray fog.

It was obviously unrealistic to pull back Alice who had just escaped. Klein sat back in his seat somewhat helplessly, thinking of Anderson's experience. He pondered for a moment, opened his hand towards the pile of debris, and a piece of white paper and a pen flew out.

On the front of the white paper was written a sentence in ancient Hermetic language - "The creator of happiness and miracles".

Obviously, this is the real name that Klein did not finish writing.

What happened just now suddenly gave Klein an inspiration. After a moment of contemplation, he wrote down the second sentence on the paper - "The ruler of misfortune and disaster."

Compared to words like "incarnation" and "origin", the word "ruler" appears to be much more neutral when used in the context of relatively negative authority.

- After all, "the incarnation of misfortune" and "the origin of misfortune" don't sound like serious gods, but "the ruler of misfortune" might be able to help you get rid of your disasters?
Just like, although the goddess’ authority also includes disaster and fear, and her name also has corresponding descriptions, the goddess is not called “the embodiment of disaster and fear”, but “the queen of disaster and fear”.

As for Alice's original name, Klein remembered that she once said that it was given by Will Auceptin. Obviously, Will Auceptin did not regard Alice as a serious god - although she was not one originally.

Maybe it was Alice who was led astray by the name he gave her? Maybe Alice was originally a good child? After all, the other two descriptions are actually quite positive...

Klein put the blame on Will Auceptin without hesitation.

On the other side, Alice fled from the gray fog. When she opened her eyes and regained consciousness, she happened to catch up with Leo Master's key narration:
"Then, I saw a beam of light falling in front of me. There was a person hiding inside. He said that he had come to save me."

"Wow~" A series of small exclamations rang out. Alice blinked, hugged her knees, changed to a comfortable position and began to listen to the lecture.

The burgundy-haired girl next to her moved aside again because of her action. Alice looked over puzzledly, and the girl who noticed her gaze gave her a nervous smile.

Alas, they are all so afraid of me, not as good as the little sun... Alice looked from the side and found the "sun" Derrick who was three people away from her.

Well, if we want to change positions, it would be better to wait until a story is finished... Thinking of this, Alice intelligently withdrew her gaze.

Leo Master's voice continued: "In that light and shadow, there is a little girl who looks underage - yes, that's her."

After a few seconds of confusion, Alice met Leo Master's gaze and realized that he was talking about her.

Alice could feel a curious and fearful gaze on her, and Leo Master continued:

“At first, I thought she was a little girl who had strayed into the place by mistake. I tried to persuade her and reminded her to be careful of the demons outside, but she didn’t take it seriously, so I stopped trying to persuade her.

"He walked up to me, bent down and stretched out his hand to me. I thought about it, and in order to cooperate with Him, I stretched out my hand and placed it on His hand, and stood up—" "Then I found that I was almost up to his waist." Alice added the detail that bothered her expressionlessly.

This comment was so sincere that the burgundy-haired girl closest to Alice couldn't help laughing. When Alice turned her head away expressionlessly, her smile froze on her face again.

"So," Alice asked sincerely and resentfully, "why are you all so tall?"

The members of the Silver City exploration team looked at each other. Derrick, the "Sun" who was familiar with Alice, spoke under the admiring eyes of Haim and Joshua:

"Many of us have the blood of giants, and we have inherited the potion of the 'warrior' path. Under the influence of the potion, our heights are much taller than normal people.

"As for Beyonders who choose the Warrior path, their heights will become even more exaggerated as their Sequence Level increases..."

Alice looked at the demigod chief who was secretly observing this place not far away, and asked with a little doubt:
"Isn't your chief a Beyonder of the Warrior Path?

"He's already a demigod, isn't he? He's not much taller..."

This seemed to be a blind spot in Derrick's knowledge. He was stunned for a moment and looked to his companions for help.

Haim beside him caught his gaze and continued Alice's words: "I heard that the chief has a giant form..."

Soon after, Joshua, wearing a pair of fiery red gloves, spoke:

"During the previous exploration, Haim and I discussed whether the Chief's clothes would burst if he turned into a giant."

“Yes,” Haim continued, “However, when Joshua and I were about to share this joke with Derrick, we discovered that he was missing…”

This conversation between the two of them not only explained the situation to Alice, but also subtly introduced their names.

Alice tilted her head and asked after pondering for a few seconds:

"So, will the clothes burst?"

They were obviously stunned for a moment, and then Haim spoke:

"Except when the clothes are magical items, it is estimated that it is inevitable that the clothes will be torn... Or, you can ask the chief?"

You... Alice frowned slightly and said to them:
"My name is Alice."

She started talking, and after they looked at each other, the man sitting on the other side of the burgundy-haired girl put his arm around her shoulders and smiled at Alice:
“Come to think of it, we haven’t introduced ourselves yet.

"My name is Dolores, and this is Antina. We should get married when we return this time."

Alice looked at them in surprise, thought for a moment, and asked with a little curiosity:
"Can I come to your wedding?"

"Wedding?" Dolores looked at her doubtfully. "I think I've seen it in a book..."

Alice immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. She bit her lip and said:

"Sorry, I……"

"Can you tell me about it?" Antirna asked almost at the same time as her.

Alice stopped talking, met her gaze, and after a moment of silence, she whispered:
"In the outside world, if lovers want to be together for life, they will swear an oath in front of the priests of the gods they believe in, with their parents and friends as witnesses...

"They will host a banquet for the guests, there will be flowers and wedding dresses, and at the end of the wedding, the bride will throw out the bouquet, and the newlyweds who receive the bouquet will be happy..."

"It sounds so wonderful..." Antirna showed a longing look.

The others were no exception, even the chief seemed to be looking at him with a serious expression. After more than ten seconds, Alice finally couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere anymore and said:

“I can help you with your wedding!

"Although, although I am not a pastor, but I...well, I remember that you should call angels "followers of God" - right?"

Alice looked at Antina and Dolores for confirmation, and it was obvious that they were also a little confused about this.

——From God, but also God.

In the silence, the chief came over and sat next to Alice.

Alice turned her head to look at him in confusion. The chief's expression showed no emotion. He said in an equally emotionless voice:

"Miss Destiny, you may not still be here by then, right?"

Alice paused for a moment, then heard the chief continue, "I remember you said at the beginning that you came here to ask for directions?"

Alice...Alice would never admit that she almost forgot about it.

She glanced at the sky guiltily, but there was nothing there. She had no choice but to lower her head to look at the ground again, and without saying a word, she stretched out her fingers and began to draw circles on the ground.

The chief watched her movements and fell into deep thought.

Leo Master asked in confusion: "...Didn't you ask Lord Ouroboros?"

“Uh,” Alice raised her head hesitantly, “I asked, but, uh, but I think He might think I’m sick.”

She paused for a moment, then answered while organizing her words: "I asked Him how to escape so that He would not catch me..."

The chief couldn't help but glance at Derrick and found that Derrick had lowered his head and seemed to be very accustomed to this kind of thing.

The chief looked back at Alice hesitantly and remained silent for the time being.

Leo Master was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "...Did Lord Ouroboros tell you?"

“No,” Alice shook her head. “He, He let me go…”

The Chief looked at Alice thoughtfully and asked again:

"So, what directions did you want to ask?" (End of this chapter)
