Chapter 691: Unfathomable Ability
Translator: ShiraishiEditor: TheAlliance
Yes!
The Book of Nalu!
After Marvin entered the Sky Tower, he had been repeatedly reminded of the word, "key".
Before, he didn't really understand what it was referring to.
But he now understood it very clearly.
The 4th Fate Tablet looked like a mystical vessel that contained endless Laws and knowledge.
To possess it was to possess the strength to contend against the Gods of the 3rd Era.
It was even more so because the 4th Fate Tablet was complete, while the others were only fragments. It was highly possible that the person holding this intact Fate Tablet might become the most powerful God in history.
Marvin didn't plan on ascending to Godhood, but he was unable to stop the reaction between the False Divine Vessel and the Fate Tablet.
Actually, he didn't even know what exactly had happened. The Fate Tablet simply entered the False Divine Vessel.
As he thought of where this False Divine Vessel had come from, Marvin couldn't help having some doubts.
'Could this really be something arranged by Lance? He predicted that I would go to the Evil Dragon God Temple? He knew that I would meet the Fairy?'
If Divination was so powerful, wouldn't the choices in life be meaningless?
Although Marvin was suspicious, he hadn't reached the conclusion just yet. He had a bit more to think about...
What he needed to consider right now was that the Fate Tablet, this cube, was filled with frightening power!
But that container couldn't be opened easily.
It needed a key, an unfathomable one, in order to open it!
And that was the Book of Nalu.
Gathering all the pages of the Book of Nalu was something almost impossible.
Countless people had sought it out for millennia, only to fail. Black Knight Sangore was one of them.
As for Marvin, he was able to gather 7 pages of the Book of Nalu by relying on the knowledge of his past life… and mostly luck. This was already quite an accomplishment.
But he completely lacked any clues for the remaining 4 pages!
The only thing he felt sure of was that the remaining 4 pages weren't in Feinan!
The Astral Sea, the Abyss, Hell, that strange Negative Energy World, the lifeless Underworld, or the Elemental Planes...
Who knew where they could be?!
When Marvin realized this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At this moment, he was finally convinced by the words of the Truth Goddess and Hathaway.
Lance was undoubtedly the Destroyer!
He wanted to create chaos!
He took advantage of the Gods' desires. He personally crafted the Universe Magic Pool as a cage and bound the New Gods to it for a millennium.
After a millennium, the patient Gods were restless after waiting for so long.
When that restlessness combined with their desires, chaos couldn't be contained.
Pushing them to attack the Universe Magic Pool was only one step!
And the bait of the 4th Fate Tablet was the real killing move.
Yes, the 4th Fate Tablet was very powerful. The one carrying it could become a Great God.
But, in fact, it was just a poisoned apple!
Because no one could possess the key.
Marvin felt that Lance's reminder was more like a piece of advice.
Giving up on the Fate Tablet would actually be the proper move.
Because it was the source of chaos.
Regardless of who had the Fate Tablet, they would be unable to control its power and would only become a target that others lusted after!
Let alone those people of the Astral Sea and the other forces of the Universe, how could Marvin be sure that none of his close friends in Feinan would be tempted by the Fate Tablet?
Marvin bitterly found out that he couldn't be certain.
Everyone might be eager to give it a try.
And if he left this place, he might end up facing the entire Universe as his enemy!
This situation wasn't targeted specifically at Marvin.
Whoever had the Fate Tablet would end up in this situation.
That person would die from being tirelessly hounded day and night, and the next owner of the Fate Tablet would share the same fate.
No one could genuinely grasp the power of the Fate Tablet because it was a lie.
Just like no one could truly master destiny.
And in the process, countless blood feuds and battles would ensue.
After all, the ones vying for the Fate Tablet would be the strongest existences of the Universe. Thus, each battle could lead to the Universe itself being shaken.
Perhaps the world would collapse completely after just the first fight.
When everyone fought with bloody eyes, when Order Power faded little by little, when the final bits of reason were suppressed by brute force… What awaited this world would be destruction.
This was Lance's plan.
He wanted to establish a completely new world.
A world without evil, without chaos.
The [New World].
Marvin had once seen that world, and it felt very nauseating.
'I would rather die than live in that world,' Marvin bitterly and mockingly thought to himself.
After getting hold of the Fate Tablet, Marvin had a better understanding of what was going on in this game.
Naturally, he wasn't completely sure about the conclusion he had reached casting Lance as the Destroyer, because there were still some doubtful points.
For example, if Lance wanted to destroy the World, why would he personally arrange for Marvin's transmigration?
This didn't make sense.
If he wanted to destroy the world, this temptation would have been enough to have Feinan's beings massacre one another.
Lance didn't need to speak to him about having a "Hero's Heart".
Such a high existence had no need to lie to him.
Thus, although it seemed highly probably at this point that Lance was indeed the Destroyer, Marvin still needed to unveil some things as he pressed on for answers.
...
After fusing with the Fate Tablet, the False Divine Vessel finally evolved into the perfect state.
Although the Fate Tablet's power didn't fully merge with it, Marvin could still feel a strange sensation.
It felt as if all the Laws of this Universe were displayed in front of him.
Although he couldn't use them, he already had enough power to see through them.
This was the power of a Divine Vessel.
Marvin's current circumstances were very special.
He was basically a God, but he was actually a Fake God, a God that didn't need a source of Faith.
He had no followers and no Faith Power, but he had a deep understanding of the Plane Laws and Domains.
Moreover, when the Fate Tablet entered the False Divine Vessel, he gained some more knowledge in his mind.
After three minutes, he learnt all the languages that had been created since the birth of the Universe!
Including Draconic, Infernal, Ancient God Language, Ancient Gnome Language, Abyssal, and so on...
This was a great harvest for Marvin.
But what he was more interested in were the lines that had just appeared in the False Divine Vessel column.
