Chapter 771 Fateless & Twin Fate

Chapter 771 Fateless & Twin Fate

"We are a little weird, don't you think so?" Michael asked Danny, whose laugh resounded in his head.

[How did you come to that conclusion? I think we're perfectly normal. Isn't it totally normal for some Fateless Living Souls to exist somewhere? Or for some people to have multiple threads of Fate? I don't get what you mean] Danny said while laughing.

The banter of bad jokes continued between the brothers. It went so far that the World Serpent was urged to join their discussion.

[You guys don't even know what that means.]

"What?" Michael responded, "Being Fateless and having two threads of Fate? We know what that means since the name is already enough to understand what that means. But we don't know what happens to Fateless people or to people with two threads of Fate. How are we supposed to know that?"

[I have no fucking clue, either.] Danny added.

The World Serpent hissed in annoyance, and Michael could have sworn that it rolled its eyes at their ignorance. If it could, the World Serpent would probably snap Michael's neck. Or was that just what he'd imagined? It might have been the best that Michael stayed silent and waited patiently to receive answers.

[To put it in very simple terms, you –] The World Serpent beckoned Michael to listen with a tug of his mind [You will have to deal with two Fates that are constantly clashing with each other. Since it is standard for every living being to have only one of Fate's threads, your threads will try to eliminate each other. That might not sound like a major problem when you don't know what that means, but it's a huge issue. Your Fates will throw even more challenges to emerge victorious from the constant clashing with their rival.]

"So, to simplify it even more, my life will be turned upside down?" Michael asked, frowning deeply, "Even more than it is already?"

The World Serpent didn't say anything for a moment. It thought about Michael's question for a few seconds before it concluded.

[Yes. What you're currently going through is nothing compared to the rivalry of two Fates clashing for supremacy over a single entity. There have been some records about Twin Fates, but most victims of Twin Fates die before they reach the 25th circle. They're powerful due to the obstacles and challenges that always appear before them, but they are still too weak to surpass Fate's decree.]

[You can probably change fates by being a Fateless fellow, but you will be nothing more than a leech who drains and devours other beings' fates.]

That was interesting. Michael fell deep in pondered and thought about their situation. After some seconds, he shrugged.

'Whatever.'

His brother must have come to the same conclusion. Michael felt like Danny was also shrugging dismissively.

[I don't plan to leave Michael's side, either way. Since I'm a leech who drains other's Fates, I might as well help Michael deal with his Twin Fates issue. I can take care of some challenges and obstacles thrown his way. One of his Fates is mine, either way. I might as well take responsibility and solve all issues related to my new Fate. Of course, that means I will have to secure my body back first. I won't be able to deal with his challenges without a body, but that's obvious, I guess.]

Michael smiled. That was exactly what he pondered as well.

"We can do it!" He declared, which his brother affirmed.

The brothers were confident that they could cope with their issues.

"If the Twin Fates issues secure too bad, I can focus on upgrading Extraction until the Extraction Soultrait is strong enough to remove one of Fate's threads. If Extraction is not enough, I can always use Soul Tears from the Soul Grimoire to increase Extraction's potency or reinforce Extraction's efficiency with Enhancement."

[Once extracted, you can use Insert to insert the Fate thread into my body – once I secure one. That's a good solution if the situation with the Twin Fates gets too troublesome. Easy peasie!] Danny shouted in Michael's mind, only for the World Serpent to hiss.

[Helpless Fools.]

The World Serpent turned silent.
