Chapter 614 Blind Presiders



The battles in the Orbital had grown quiet after the initial chaos, but the entire Orbital was gearing up for war. The warnings of Renkerdis had caused Render and Marrho to become very guarded.

In the city at the very depths of the orbital, where lightning and energy were most present, Marrho sat down and was annoyed, for he could no longer see the destiny that directed his path.

Marrho had seen that his future would be destined to rise to Principal. Yet, from that point, he couldn't see anything. He once thought this was because the Principal, Dormin, would be his doom.

But now, the future that he once foresaw was no longer present!

The power of Marrho was the power to see vague points of his life and know what events he was destined to achieve.

The entire area was harnessing such great energy that it was draining power from the Orbital and had decreased the ship's traveling speed by 1 percent.

But even as he amassed energy to increase the amount of his power that broke through the dimensions, he could not see any points in the future. It was all blank!

It was this that made him much stronger than other Presiders. He had foreseen the fixed point of his death numerous times and managed to overcome them. But now, these points were distorted and almost gone.

Render had the power that would force the Universe Energy to side with him and alter the dimensions in numerous points. Unlike Garenjazz's power that forced all luck on himself, Render had a weaker version but had numerous things.

The Chinese called it Feng Shui. It was meant to increase one's luck.

During the Presider War, Render's power to increase this had nearly doubled!

From wealth to coincidences, to lucky shots and to lucky opportunities, Render has amassed such power that he could have defeated Marrho in a one-on-one battle.

Yet even then, all of this power brought him no luck.

Render could not understand and sought to find the power that was draining it.

His anger caused him to prepare to head towards the Outer Layers and personally search for the source of his draining power.

BOOM!

A small group of Pioneers were blown to bits.

Render didn't listen and simply shot an attack at them without care, killing them all at once.

"Die! Die! Die!" He roared angrily.

"That's not going to help." A voice spoke to him.

The Throne of Render quickly harnessed a tremendous amount of energy as he prepared to fight, and the dimensions quivered.

A young girl with bright pink hair and beautiful and youthful features stood without fear and watched as the powers that surged blew against her clothes. But her clothes remained as if it was not hit.

"Dimensional Peering. To think you could do this so easily, Haresha." Render frowned.

The girl was a reflection of the strongest Presider in the Orbital, Haresha.

"What are you doing here?" Render cursed.

"I'm just following the divinity that led me here." She smiled.

"...So this strange blindness doesn't affect you? Hmp. I guess if you are not panicking or worried, you surely are not affected." Render clenched his fist angrily. A part of him could still not accept that this young woman would surpass the heritage that he had.

"...Oh, I am affected. I'm just not blind."

"...Then what are you here for?"

"I don't know. I have vague feelings and directions, but nothing clear. But what you're doing is wrong. Do you think that the Earthlings really did this?"

"...Renkerdis warned us."

"And you believed his lies?" Haresha chuckled.

"Then who is doing this?"

"...Perhaps, the Principal." She smiled.

"What?! Principal Dormin cannot attack us!"

"He doesn't have to. Among all of us, he is definitely the one that has the strongest control over wielding the powers of the dimensions beyond. It's like, we are his neighbors, and he set his house on fire. Our house might not get burned, but we will suffer from the heat." Haresha shrugged and walked away.

"...Why would he do that?"

"You, me, and Marrho had powers that could now rival the famous Garenjazz. What if we are starting to see and manipulate a future that affects him."

"Well, isn't that a hopeful wish? But I don't think Principal Dormin would be so obvious. The Earthling defeated Garenjazz!"

"Funny term. Defeated. Why not killed?" Haresha asked.

Render was startled. He recalled that Renkerdis said defeated. Before the Principal, lying was futile. But to Presiders, defeat often meant death. Very rarely would a Presider defeat another and not kill them. Garenjazz was also known to have done that.

Render couldn't speak but could only wonder. Was it true? Was this a work of a Principal?

"Whatever this thing is, killing small groups of Pioneers is not the answer. As if these Earthlings would dare split up now that we know they are here. Those stupid, clumsy fools will not live long. I knew they came, but I never expected them to fail so much. Do you know that I refused to believe my own divination? I couldn't believe that they would be so stupid to reveal themselves here!" Haresha's expression turned sour as she walked away and slowly disappeared.

Seeing Haresha disappear, Render had no choice but to leave. But his thoughts began to wander, and he was becoming more and more frustrated.

Haresha kept her expression straight, but her heart finally gave a sigh of relief. This was her true body. And she had left her throne.

"Now that I stopped Render from recklessly killing, I should finally have the chance to meet that man! But how? Damn this power! Damn those earthlings!" Haresha began to shout within her thoughts.

The mystery of Haresha's power surprised Marrho and Render. Both could not understand it.

Marrho could see points of Destiny, and Render could Harness Luck. But Haresha's power transcended the dimension-altering forces of Destiny and Harnessed Luck.

It was a power that harnessed both! She knew the points in time of the day that dictated certain events, and she knew what things reflected in the dimensions beyond that would grant her bad luck or give her good luck.

It was a power that was scoffed and laughed at on Earth. People who believed this were mocked and laughed. Those who claimed to be a scientist but could not see the multi-dimensional implications of such a thing but carried on to process what they believed to be objective science would see this person as a laughing stock. And they were. But this was because humans cannot alter the dimensions.

But to beings like the Top Tier, who are already involved in these supernatural forces that dictate the greater powers than simply throwing fireballs and energy beams at each other, it was a powerful weapon.

This power to command such tremendous force was known on Earth as Astrology.

Each day would bring new events of fixed destiny and would also offer luck and bad luck.

But using a forced form of Harnessed Luck and channeling the Universe Energy in the Fourth dimension through certain means, Haresa senses the workings of Fate and Destiny and when to attack or retreat based on these events, and wearing certain colors for her dress and favoring certain numbers within that day allowed her to know what to do and what not to do.

By becoming a priestess to this power, she was able to divine her daily horoscope and won against the top contenders among Presiders.

Through this, she learned of the arrival of Seeker though she had not seen it.

Through this, she knew where they were and could divine the chaos they made.

But her silence over the past few days was not because she had divined to remain silent in the chaos, but it was because her horoscope vanished!

She was blind as well! She could not tell the state of the day and times and had no choice but to be quiet and observe.

Finally, the power that Marrho harnessed to pierce and force himself to see a point of Destiny and the Feng Shui that Render made to harness luck was used by her.noVe/lb-1n

It opened a time, a brief moment for her to see what she needed to do. And the answer was vague.

"Virgo. Career Horoscope. New assignments wait for you on barren lands. Do not hesitate to present your ideas when with someone else, as they will be accepted as truth. Handle crises with confidence, and things will work out. Your rivals may expand their business to new territories today, and they will hinder you from meeting your special opportunity." Haresha repeated the horoscope that she divined.

"Love Horoscope. As per the love horoscope, today is an auspicious time to make bonds that could help you live a healthy and true future. Be careful of Gemini but stand your ground, and your future with Pisces will be set. Those who are single may fall in love today but wait for a day or two to propose." Haresha then turned to an even more curious class of horoscopes she had never encountered before. The Love Horoscope never appeared. But now it did!
