Chapter 46

"Fate."

But we need to keep the line as a single output line with 【N】 and translation. No extra punctuation beyond translation? We'll output exactly as we think.

Before the nib of the classical quill could fully fall, a faint sound rang out, an inexplicable fluctuation appeared between heaven and earth, as if the trajectory of fate had been plucked.

In the next moment, a silver-white illusory giant serpent appeared between heaven and earth, biting its own tail with its mouth, head to tail connected, forming a perfect ring.

Hum

The silver-white serpent turned, and the surrounding grand trend of fate was plucked by it, returning to some state.

Originally, the nib of that classical quill was about to fall onto Inse. Zanggewir's robe, but suddenly, as if affected by the trajectory of fate, it jerked upward, about to return once more to Inse. Zanggewir's hand.

However, the classical quill violently trembled, and faintly a grey-white dragon phantom appeared, directly breaking free from the influence of the surrounding fate trajectory, and fell again onto Inse. Zanggewir's robe.

Hum

Just then, the void suddenly became hazy, countless streams of information flowed, past, present, and future information intertwined here, and faintly seven brilliant pure lights appeared.

In the next moment, Fengyi's figure directly appeared before Inse. Zanggewir, flicked a finger, and a gold coin engraved with a mysterious pattern flew out, landing directly on that classical quill.

The gold coin looked merely like an ordinary gold coin, but the moment it landed on the classical quill, it instantly transformed into a primordial trigram composed of countless yin-yang lines, imprinted on the quill.

In an instant, the quill, which had been violently trembling, seemed to be infused with information beyond its comprehension; its spirituality fell into chaos, and it stopped the writing motion.

At the same time, Fengyi reached out and summoned it, and the quill drifted directly into his hand.

Beside him, Inse. Zanggewir watched this unfold helplessly, for he was sealed by the concept of the Gate, his spirituality could not be mobilized, he could not exert his ability as a gatekeeper, and could do nothing.

When he saw his greatest reliance, the seal item called 0-08, also fall into the hands of that mysterious youth, Inse. Zanggewir fell into utter despair.

But just then, a haze flickered in his eyes, a new memory suddenly surfaced in his mind, as if that memory had been stolen before and was only now returned to him.

It was a youthful figure, and a pair of crystal-polished lenses.

"Ah, so that's it!"

Inse. Zanggewir, who had just been wearing a face of despair, changed expression and suddenly uttered a strange, wonderful sentence.

In the next moment, under Fengyi's astonished gaze, Inse. Zanggewir, whose face was sealed by the Gate concept, suddenly raised his arm, then took out a crystal-polished lens from his bosom and placed it over his good eye.

After putting on the crystal lens, Inse. Zanggewir's aura underwent a massive change, as if he had become a different person.

He smiled at the youth before him and softly said, 'After several misses caused by shifts in the fate trajectory, we have finally truly met!'

"Amon!"

At the moment he saw that crystal lens, the name instantly appeared in Fengyi's mind, his pupils contracting sharply.

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly activated the silver-white ring on his hand, intending to use the high-sequence ability of the Gate pathway to leave this place.

But the next moment, he froze in place, his eyes glazing over, as if his thoughts had paused for an instant.

The thought of using the Gate of Fate to leave was stolen.

This is an ability of the high sequence of the Thief pathway.

Just then, without Fengyi's prompting, the spirit of the Gate of Fate sensed his danger and automatically protected its master.

In an instant, his figure became blurred, as if about to enter another world.

"Hehe."

Amon chuckled lightly, lightly adjusting the crystal lens at the corner of his eye.

In the next moment, the surrounding heaven and earth suddenly turned hazy; Fengyi's figure was in a blurred state, yet he could not truly disappear.

It seemed as if the time around him had slowed down, forever unable to reach the next moment.

At this time, Fengyi's thoughts rose again, and he vaguely understood his current state.

The concept of time around him had been stolen, causing his surroundings to be in a state of infinite deceleration.

Just as this thought emerged, before Fengyi could take the next self-rescue action, his gaze became dazed again.

We'll translate: "Just as this thought emerged, before Fengyi could take the next step of self-rescue, his gaze turned dull again."

His thoughts were stolen again!

The gap between them is truly enormous; even if Amon had no serious intent, merely playing around casually, it is not something the current Fengyi can resist.

However, fortunately Fengyi still has in his hand a powerful seal item that can automatically protect its master, the Gate of Fate.

Hum

A soft ringing sound rang out, like a serpent's cry, and a silver-white giant serpent appeared before Fengyi, tightly guarding him.

The silver-white giant serpent's indifferent eyes looked toward Amon, then it suddenly bit its own tail, forming a perfect ring.

In an instant, the surrounding heaven and earth became twisted, as if countless people's fates were being replaced, intertwined, and merged here, carrying a sense of chaos and distortion, forming an unfathomable sea of fate.

The surrounding time was instantly affected by the fate trajectory, becoming disordered, causing Fengyi's figure to also seem hidden.

"Interesting seal item."

He chuckled lightly, sensing the changes in fate around him, yet Amon's expression did not change much; he remained calm and confident.

Although the abilities of the Fate pathway are indeed mysterious and bizarre, one of the strongest abilities of the Sequence 1 'Time Insect' of the Thief pathway is interference with fate.

"'If it were a true Sequence 1, the Fate Serpent coming here might still affect me somewhat; this mere seal item'"

The moment his words fell, seeing the youth guarded by that seal item regain consciousness, Amon casually stole his thoughts again, completely unaffected by the surrounding fate's distortion.

Obviously, the protective power of the Gate of Fate seal item cannot withstand Amon's ability.

This is the terror of a high-sequence powerhouse of the Thief pathway; the whole person can be considered a bug of the world.

But after doing all that, before he could continue toying with that seal item that seemed somewhat interesting, Amon suddenly felt something was off.

Because the youth did not fall into a dazed state after his thoughts were stolen, but instead looked at him with a faint smile; there was no dazed expression.

Amon's heart tightened; suddenly he felt something inexplicable appear in his mind.

It was a tarot card, depicting a figure leading a dog.

"The Fool card!"

"Wrong!"

"He deliberately let me steal his thoughts!"

He already knew I would appear!

An indescribable sense of crisis welled up in his heart, and Amon's own spirituality gave a frantic warning.

But before he could do anything else, an indescribable, lofty and vague voice sounded in his mind, causing him to lose consciousness entirely.

On the other side, under the protection of the silver-white giant serpent, Feng Yi looked at the motionless Amon with a faint smile, his eyes no longer showing any trace of dazed stupor.

Amon, you can't steal everything in this world!

You're practically delivering it to my door!

This counts as a gift I'm giving you on behalf of that... that Heavenly Venerable!

These thoughts arose in his mind, and Feng Yi silently sighed.

Afterwards, he idly rubbed the silver-white ring on his finger, gazing deeply at Amon, but had no intention of acting.

These are all schemes among the big shots; he doesn't need to intervene, and he lacks the ability to do so.

The next moment, numerous slick and eerie tentacles suddenly sprouted from Amon's body, brimming with endless chaos and madness.

Tentacles appeared on his face, body, and arms, like writhing monsters, as if he had become an indescribable mass.

The eerie tentacles kept writhing, eventually merging together to form a strange worm with twelve segments.

Before Feng Yi could clearly see the worm's form, the Fool card emerged from within the worm and directly sucked it in.

The next moment, the Fool card merged into the void, as if entering another perfect world woven from information, disappearing before Feng Yi's eyes.

Feng Yi quietly watched this scene, not attempting to stop the Fool card's departure, nor making any extra movements; he couldn't have stopped it anyway.

Only after the Fool card had completely vanished did he glance around, let out a soft sigh, and rub the silver-white ring on his finger.

In an instant, the surrounding void seemed to become a series of continually overlapping doors, constantly closing, merging, and contracting, merging into the ring on Feng Yi's hand.

The next moment, his figure reappeared on a street in Tinggen City.

After glancing at Tinggen City, the silver-white ring in Feng Yi's hand flickered slightly, his whole body instantly blurred, and then he vanished from the spot.
