Chapter 888: The
Regarding Franca's question, Jenna and Anthony, beyond finding it amusing, both had no idea how to answer.
Lu Mian, however, began to seriously discuss the possible consequences:
"Is there any major problem with pregnancy for a Beyonder? It's not like they wanted it; they can just use an intense battle to miscarry on the spot."
Seeing that Lu Mian was willing to discuss the issue, Franca chuckled, "Hehe."
"It's not that simple. After getting the pregnancy bullet, I studied the related issues seriously and asked Lady 'Judgment' about it.
"It has been confirmed that this type of pregnancy bullet originates from the gift of the 'Great Mother.' Even demigods cannot be spared. Once pregnant, it is very difficult to terminate the pregnancy without special abilities. And we all know that one way for a Beyonder to expel excess Beyonder characteristics from their body is to let themselves or others become pregnant, using the birth of the child to carry away the corresponding Beyonder characteristics, but the result is uncontrollable.
"In other words, the target hit by this pregnancy bullet, whether male or female, human or dog, will immediately become pregnant. The fetus will grow rapidly, tearing away part of the Beyonder characteristics or gifted powers, thereby causing the target's state to become unstable and their strength to decline."
"Adding the 'inevitable hit' effect to this makes it a bit terrifying..." Jenna said with deep feeling after listening, "One can only increase vigilance and use a substitute to replace oneself in advance."
Franca had originally wanted to take the opportunity to say to Lu Mian, "If you don't want to be a 'Witch,' we can ask Mr. 'Sun' for help through the 'Tarot Club,' or I can give you a pregnancy bullet to see if there's a way for you to give birth to a 'Despair Witch,' hehehe," but considering her companion's emotional state, she gave up on this joke.
Moreover, she felt that Lu Mian would very likely insist on being a "Witch" for a period of time to see if Aurora's soul fragments really showed signs of resurrection.
"I've decided, the 'Cannon-Firing Gun' will now be renamed the 'Gun of Inevitability'." After weighing it repeatedly, Franca gave up on the name "Cannon-Execution Gun," which she liked more and found more fun. She turned to ask Lu Mian, "What abilities does that bracelet of yours have? Just in time, I'll tell you about some 'Magic Mirror Divination' targets whose safety has been verified."
"Including the one you mentioned who causes social death but gives the most accurate divination results?" Jenna asked curiously.
Franca nodded solemnly:
"Yes, but you had best not pray to that one. Otherwise, otherwise, sigh, I am the experience and lesson itself."
While speaking, Franca couldn't help but glance at Anthony, discovering that this "Hypnotist" had no change in expression, as if he had already forgotten what happened back then.
Under Franca's guidance, Lu Mian successfully completed his first "Magic Mirror Divination" and obtained the key information about that cheap silver bracelet:
"... It can use the 'Person of the Ring' effect nine times. Each time, the number of times the 'Person of the Ring' is maintained is no fewer than three and no more than nine.
"'Person of the Ring' can be used on a one-kilometer range, or targeted at a single target, or attached to oneself. The trigger conditions for the area-type 'Person of the Ring' cannot be harsh and can affect angels within the corresponding area. The individual-type 'Person of the Ring' can set some relatively harsh trigger conditions, but if the target's rank is higher than one's own, the effect will be significantly reduced until it is ineffective.
"There are no restrictions on using 'Person of the Ring' on oneself; being killed by an angel can also trigger a restart.
"Only one 'Ring' can be maintained at the same time. 'Rings' of the same type require a three-minute cooldown before they can be created again.
"The 'Person of the Ring' effect can be maintained for a long time unless the number of uses is reached or the user actively cancels it. For example, if the 'Ring' attached to oneself is set to restart upon near-death and there is no opportunity to trigger it afterward, it can be maintained for up to one year.
"Regardless of whether the 'Person of the Ring' uses are exhausted, this bracelet contaminated by fate power will increase the abilities of 'Fate Siphoning,' 'Fate Exchange,' 'Fate Amplification,' and 'Fate Propulsion' to the level of 'Person of the Ring.' About a year later, the corresponding gifted powers will completely dissipate, allowing this silver bracelet to return to being an ordinary ornament with residual curses.
"Even just carrying this silver bracelet will unknowingly attract those gifted by fate and be viewed with hostility by them.
"Every time 'Person of the Ring' is used, one will gain a period of bad luck, which varies depending on the user's rank."
Lu Mian held the cheap silver bracelet, admiring it repeatedly, as if waiting for the arrival of those gifted by fate.
His voice, pleasant yet with a hint of magnetism, echoed out:
"If it were me, the bad luck would probably be three hours. You might be close to two days, and Anthony should be three days."
"As expected, it suits you best." Franca said, "Adding the 'Sword of Courage,' you are equivalent to a demigod of the 'Hunter,' 'Witch,' and 'Fate' pathways, and the abilities have also blended without too much conflict."
At Sequence 4, this definitely qualifies as an outstanding individual!
"What name should I call it?" Lu Mian lowered his head to look at the silver-white-and-black cheap bracelet.
"Ring of Fate?" Franca proposed her own opinion, eager to try.
"Ring of Binding?" Jenna's eyes moved slightly as she said.
"Then let it be 'Ring of Binding'; it suits my current psychological and emotional state better." Lu Mian laughed in a self-deprecating tone.
Not waiting for Franca to express her disappointment, he put away the "Ring of Binding" and said after deliberation:
"I thought of something from the topic of the pregnancy bullet."
"What is it?" Franca asked curiously.
Lu Mian's light blue and clear eyes lit up with a bit of brilliance:
"When I first learned that the name of the 'Great Mother's' formless divine child was Omebella, the Termiboros inside me seemed a bit surprised.
"I originally thought that He, this evil god angel, had heard this name while in the endless starry sky and hadn't expected Omebella to enter our world and become a formless divine child. But the current situation is that the Termiboros inside me is equivalent to Amon's true body.
"In other words, this has nothing to do with any knowledge or legends of the endless starry sky.
"There are currently only two possibilities: one is that Amon is deceiving me, preparing for me to investigate this matter in the future; the second is that He really didn't expect it, and what He didn't expect was that the name of the Giant Queen of the Second Epoch, the 'Goddess of Harvest' Omebella, would actually appear on the 'Great Mother's' formless divine child."
"Does Amon not expecting it mean that *that one* didn't expect it either?" Jenna understood what Lu Mian really wanted to express.
Lu Mian's beautifully curved chin nodded slowly:
"My meeting with Father Montserrat was definitely His arrangement, in order to grasp the situation of the 'Great Mother's' formless divine child, but the name of the 'Great Mother's' formless divine child might not be in the arrangement; it is an accident. He might not have expected it either."
"You want to start from this matter and find a path with fewer arrangements?" Anthony roughly understood Lu Mian's idea.
Lu Mian curled his lips and laughed, a sight that left Franca and the others feeling a bit dazzled:
"That one's predecessor was the Ancient Sun God who ended the era of ancient god rule. There are very, very few ancient secrets that are not grasped by Him. This might be one of them."
Hearing this, Franca suddenly remembered that the predecessor of the "True Creator," whom the "Aurora Order" worshipped, was the human savior, the Ancient Sun God.
And according to the intelligence gathered by the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society," the Ancient Sun God was very likely a transmigrator too!
Damn it, how can a transmigrator do such things as arranging the lives of innocent people! After cursing inwardly, Franca said to Lu Mian:
"Are you now satisfying all the conditions to contact Omebella's remains and use them briefly?"
After Lu Mian consumed the umbilical cord remains of Omebella and had a slight fusion with it, as long as he satisfied the two conditions of "having been betrayed by immediate family" and "being female," he could contact and pick up the "0" level sealed artifact formed by Omebella's remains and use it briefly.
Lu Mian, who had been abandoned by his playboy father, had long satisfied the first condition, and now, he was a true female.
Lu Mian said "Mm":
"Moreover, Omebella's remains are in New Bai Yin City, right in this city.
"I don't know what useful secrets I can discover from the records of New Bai Yin City and direct contact with the remains..."
Before Jenna and the others could respond, dots of starlight lit up, and the figure of Lady "Magician" was instantly outlined in the room.
This holder of a Great Arcana card seemed to have already foreseen the difficulty Franca was currently facing and directly reached out her hand, saying:
"Give me your 'Traveler's Bag'."
…………
It was early spring, and in the fields outside New Bai Yin City, patches of wheat seedlings remained verdant in the dusk.
Lady "Magician" walked with Lu Mian on the small path in the fields, breathing in the scent of soil and plants, feeling the refreshing cool breeze.
Having already obtained most of the information from the Spirit Realm, she still patiently waited for Lu Mian to finish telling his encounter before sighing:
"We have always said to be careful of that one's arrangements and pay attention to the coincidences around us, but what we didn't expect was that the arrangement happened at the very beginning and provided many seemingly reasonable explanations, to the point where we could only see those traces of arrangement in specific events and completely ignored the problem as a whole."
Lu Mian was still draped in the black cloak Franca had given him, hiding his hair in the attached hood.
He didn't complain about the thoughts of the Great Arcana card holders; after all, that one was a true god.
He looked at the patches of green wheat seedlings stained with golden-red and said in a low voice:
"Is it only when Mr. 'Fool' wakes up that we won't have to worry about every detail of our lives being arranged?"
"Yes, or, become an angel as soon as possible. Although that won't exempt you from arrangements, many arrangements that rely too heavily on coincidences can be detected by you in time." Lady "Magician" tried hard not to let pity show in her eyes.
Lu Mian was silent for two seconds and said:
"Are those few lucky gold coins the items to wake up Mr. 'Fool'?"
"Yes." Lady "Magician" did not deny it, "You should also have one."
Lu Mian turned his head, expressing his question with his eyes.
Lady "Magician" smiled:
"That is the reward for the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring' water and the soil in front of the 'Dream Festival' ancient tomb.
"However, this requires waiting a few more days. There is a time interval for using these items."
