Chapter 349: Fates Align [Bonus]



Sylas' gaze flickered when he saw this.

Honestly speaking, it was a little bit of a disappointment, mostly because he wasn't sure what he would use this for, especially since the portal would only be temporary.

In addition, he couldn't choose the locations it opened to. The description says a one-to-one translation of space and time, so he assumed that meant there was a coordinate system that aligned the Aether Plane and Earth both, and this treasure would rely on it to act.

The real question was if this coordinate system was as jumbled as it seemed, or if that was just...

Sylas' heart skipped a beat.

Could the random assortment of portals be the intention of the system? Or was that another bid of foul play by those alien races?

On the surface, it seemed to make sense. With technology being ruined thanks to Aether, the random appearances of portals practically became the only real way to travel across the world.Updated chapters at novelhall.com

But...

Sylas' mind spun, his thoughts flickering. He had only thought about how the randomness of portals helped him, but he never considered how much it harmed Earth.

For example, if Earth had been completely isolated across their continents, wouldn't it have been much harder for them to butt heads during the Sixth Summoning?

They would have grown isolated on their plots of land, and by the time they gained enough treasures, Mounts, or fixed the technology issue, everyone would have already established themselves.

Things wouldn't be much different than they were now, with different governments working in semi-harmony.

But instead... they were stuck in a scramble for resources between one another, not willing to let the other get a leg up, and that was what would lead to a ton of conflict.

For now, the governments were mostly butting heads with those hidden families and Legacy, but as more Portals began to appear, and it became more natural for them to intersect... wasn't conflict between governments inevitable?

The more Sylas thought about it, the more he felt that it was likely... and the more he realized just how deep these waters were.

Be Strong.

His gaze flickered as the words of the Madness Key came back to his mind. He would have to consider how best to maximize this Planar Convergence Gate later.

With that thought, Sylas began to spin again.

It seemed that his previous luck was truly just that bad, because on the 123rd spin, he landed on something again.

[The Fates Align (Silver) (Secret)]

Sylas almost sat up when he read this title. He felt something inside of him churn the moment

he saw it.

[The Fates Align (Silver) (Secret)]

[Your paths are converging but the compass spins chaotically. The system has seen your plight and chooses to send a beacon of light to illuminate your way]

[Will you accept this guidance?]

Sylas hesitated for a moment. Was it a perfunctory question? Or would there be a reason for

him to reject it?

His first instinct was to ask the Madness Key, but he almost immediately felt a welling up of

danger.

'A Taboo...'

Sylas hesitated.

Something was telling him that this question existed for a reason. If he accepted it...

Sylas took a breath and calmed himself, closing his eyes. Then, he did something most

probably wouldn't.

He moved his intention and clicked [No].
