It’s not something they want—they can just abort it mid-battle with intense combat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lumian willing to discuss it, Franca chuckled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not that simple. After obtaining the pregnancy bullet, I researched the matter thoroughly and consulted Lady ‘Judgment.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Confirmed: this pregnancy bullet originates from the ‘Great Mother’s’ blessing; even a demi-god cannot escape it. Once pregnant, termination is nearly impossible without special abilities. We all know one way extraordinary beings rid themselves of excess extraordinary traits is by having someone—or themselves—become pregnant, letting the child’s birth carry away those traits, though the outcome is uncontrollable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That means anyone struck by this pregnancy bullet—male or female, human or dog—will instantly become pregnant. The fetus will grow rapidly, tearing off portions of extraordinary traits or blessing power, causing instability in the target’s state and a drop in power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Combined with the ‘inevitable hit’ effect, that’s terrifying…” Jianna remarked, “We can only stay alert and use a decoy to replace ourselves first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Franca had intended to tease Lumian: “If you don’t want to be a ‘Witch,’ we can ask Mr. ‘Sun’ through the Tarot Meeting, or I can shoot you with a pregnancy bullet and see if you can give birth to an ‘Ultimate Witch.’ Hehehe,” but she abandoned the joke upon considering her companion’s emotional state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, she suspected Lumian would likely stick with being a ‘Witch’ for a while, to see if Aurora’s soul fragments showed any signs of revival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve decided—the ‘Cannon Gun’ is now the ‘Inevitable Gun.’” After careful consideration, Franca abandoned her preferred and more fun name, ‘Cannon Judgment Gun,’ and turned to Lumian, “What abilities does your bracelet have? By the way, I’ll tell you some verified safe ‘Magic Mirror Divination’ targets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Including the one you said causes social death but gives the most accurate divination results?” Jianna asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Franca nodded seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, but you’d better not pray to that person—otherwise, oh, ah, I am experience and lesson itself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Franca couldn’t help glancing at Anthony and noticed the ‘Hypnotist’ showed no emotional change, as if he had already forgotten the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Franca’s guidance, Lumian successfully completed his first ‘Magic Mirror Divination’ and obtained the key information about the cheap silver bracelet:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...You may use the ‘Person in the Ring’ effect nine times; each ‘Person in the Ring’ lasts no fewer than three times and no more than nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ‘Person in the Ring’ can be used within a one-kilometer range, targeted at a single individual, or attached to oneself. For area-wide ‘Person in the Ring,’ trigger conditions must not be overly strict and can affect angels within the area; for individual ‘Person in the Ring,’ you may set stricter trigger conditions, but if the target’s rank exceeds yours, the effect diminishes significantly—or becomes null.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Using ‘Person in the Ring’ on yourself has no restrictions—even if killed by an angel, you can restart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only one ‘Ring’ can be maintained at a time; the same type of ‘Ring’ requires a three-minute cooldown before being recreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ‘Person in the Ring’ effect can last a long time, unless all uses are exhausted or the user actively cancels it—for example, if the ‘Ring’ attached to yourself is set to restart upon near-death and never triggers, it can last up to a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regardless of whether the ‘Person in the Ring’ uses are exhausted, this cursed silver bracelet will elevate the abilities ‘Hunt Fate,’ ‘Exchange Fate,’ ‘Amplify Fate,’ and ‘Push Fate’ to the level of ‘Person in the Ring.’ After about a year, the corresponding blessing power will fully dissipate, turning the silver bracelet back into an ordinary ornament with residual curses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even merely carrying this silver bracelet will unconsciously attract those blessed by fate and make them hostile toward you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Each use of ‘Person in the Ring’ grants a period of misfortune, the duration varying according to the user’s rank.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lumian held the cheap silver bracelet, examining it repeatedly, as if waiting for fate’s blessed ones to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His melodious, slightly magnetic voice echoed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it were me, the misfortune would last about three hours—you might get close to two days, Anthony probably three.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, you’re still the perfect match,” Franca said. “Add the ‘Sword of Courage,’ and you’re effectively a demi-god of the Hunter, Witch, and Fate paths—with abilities blended, no major conflicts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Rank 4, this was absolutely top-tier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What should we call it?” Lumian looked down at the cheap silver-and-black bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ring of Fate?” Franca eagerly suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ring of Binding?” Jianna murmured, her eyes flickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then ‘Ring of Binding’—it suits my current psychological and emotional state,” Lumian chuckled with self-derision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Franca could express disappointment, he tucked away the ‘Ring of Binding’ and said thoughtfully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thinking about the pregnancy bullet reminded me of something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Franca asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lumian’s pale blue, clear eyes brightened slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I first learned that the \"Great Mother's\" formless child was named Oumibela, my inner Thelmiopolis seemed slightly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I originally thought it was because this demonic angel had heard the name in the Infinite Starry Sky and hadn't expected Oumibela to enter our world and become the formless child, but now my inner Thelmiopolis is equivalent to Amon's true body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That means this has nothing to do with any knowledge or legend from the Infinite Starry Sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only two possibilities remain: either Amon is deceiving me to prepare for my future investigation, or He genuinely didn't anticipate that the name of the Second Era's Giant Queen—the \"Goddess of Harvest,\" Oumibela—would appear on the \"Great Mother's\" formless child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does Amon’s lack of anticipation mean the other didn’t anticipate it either?” Jianna understood what Lumian truly meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lumian slowly nodded, his elegant chin moving:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My encounter with Father Monserrat was certainly His arrangement—to monitor the \"Great Mother's\" formless child—but perhaps the child's name wasn't part of the plan; it was an accident. He might not have anticipated it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you want to use this to find a path with fewer arrangements?” Anthony roughly grasped Lumian’s idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lumian curled his lips into a smile, making Franca and the others momentarily dazzled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His predecessor was the Ancient Sun God who ended the era of the Ancient Gods. Very few ancient secrets escaped His knowledge—this might be one of them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Franca suddenly remembered that the ‘Aurora Society’ worshipped the ‘True Creator,’ whose predecessor was the Ancient Sun God, the Savior of Humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to intelligence gathered by the ‘Curly Baboon Research Society,’ the Ancient Sun God was likely a transmigrator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck, how can transmigrators arrange innocent people’s lives like this! Franca cursed inwardly, then said to Lumian:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you now met all the conditions to touch and briefly use Oumibela’s remains?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After consuming Oumibela’s umbilical cord remnant and achieving slight fusion with it, Lumian only needed to satisfy two more conditions—having suffered betrayal by a direct blood relative and being female—to touch and briefly wield Oumibela’s remains, the Class-0 artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lumian had long satisfied the first condition—abandoned by his playboy father—and now, he was truly female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lumian murmured, “Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Oumibela’s remains are in New Silver City—right here in this city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder what useful secrets I’ll uncover from New Silver City’s records and direct contact with the remains...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Jianna and the others could respond, specks of starlight glimmered, and the figure of the ‘Magician’ Lady instantly materialized in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This holder of the Major Arcana seemed to have foreseen Franca’s current dilemma and extended her hand directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me your ‘Traveler’s Satchel.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early spring. Outside New Silver City, fields of wheat seedlings remained lush green in the twilight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ‘Magician’ Lady walked with Lumian along the field paths, breathing in the scent of soil and plants, feeling the cool, refreshing breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she had already obtained most information from the Spirit Realm, she patiently waited until Lumian finished recounting his experience before sighing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve always warned each other to beware His arrangements, to pay attention to coincidences—but we never imagined the arrangement began at the very start, with many seemingly reasonable explanations, so we only noticed traces of manipulation within specific events, completely overlooking the overall problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lumian still wore the black cloak Franca had given him, hiding his hair beneath its hood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t blame the Major Arcana holders—after all, He was a true deity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed at the fields of green wheat tinged with gold and crimson, and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do we only stop worrying that every detail of our lives is arranged when Mr. ‘The Fool’ awakens?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes—or become an angel as soon as possible. Though that won’t free you from arrangement, it will let you detect many over-reliant coincidences before they trap you.” The ‘Magician’ Lady struggled to keep pity from showing in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lumian fell silent for two seconds, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are those lucky gold coins the tools to awaken Mr. ‘The Fool’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” The ‘Magician’ Lady did not deny it. “You should have one too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lumian turned his head, his eyes asking his question silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ‘Magician’ Lady smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re payment for the water from the ‘Samaritan Woman’s Spring’ and the soil before the ancient tomb of the ‘Dream Festival.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you’ll need to wait a few more days—using these items requires time intervals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ps: Thank you, some Dai, for the Silver Alliance donation~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1580,"2026-06-20T06:22:37.987Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c2aa6566e3de7eeeefc7a482f263c8c4fff8cafea8d8066dabfd998e6ce96069","the-ring-of-fate-chapter-889","the-ring-of-fate-chapter-887",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ring-of-fate-cover.jpg"]
