Rules Strange Tales: SSS Talent? I Play With Them All

Jiang Ran's soul swapped with his parallel world self, and he arrived in a strange world of rules. Amidst rules that are hard to distinguish between true and false, and a succession of ill-inte...

Chapter 473 [Lovers]

That's right! The King of Human Observers standing in front of Jiang Ran is not the King of Human Observers that Gwen made up in her dream!

Perhaps it wasn't his true form that descended here, but it's certain that this was his own will!

"Surprised?"

The King of Human Observers waved his tentacles, seemingly smiling, but since he had no facial expressions, it was impossible to discern anything about it.

"All strange creatures were created by gods, so guess which god created me?"

Jiang Ran felt that he had already said so much, and if anyone still didn't understand what he was implying, then they would really be a fool.

The King of Human Observers—no, the entire group of Human Observers—are all bizarre creatures created by the Wheel of Fate!

Creating hundreds of near-gods at once? Jiang Ran couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Wheel of Fate.

The principle is actually quite simple: before the manipulation of astral time was prohibited, time was infinite for the Wheel of Fate, so quantity was meaningless.

"Blue Star is also a world of strange tales, and it's not hard to believe that we, these strange individuals, can travel between other worlds of strange tales."

“It’s not just us; all the bizarre beings are creatures created by the Wheel of Fate. But as you know, God always does things on a whim. We are numerous, but our quality varies greatly.”

“I have a question,” Jiang Ran stepped forward. “If you were all created by the Wheel of Fate, then why are you able to freely enter the supernatural worlds created by other gods?”

"This is because there is a 'door' that allows us to connect to other ghost stories, but the master of the world can also easily drive us away."

No one wants minor flaws in their home, but if they do appear and require cleaning, and if the flaw is small enough, most people would probably just ignore it.

As time progresses, fewer and fewer bizarre entities appear in higher-level worlds. This is likely because the gods have imposed certain restrictions to prevent these bizarre entities from appearing in large numbers in their worlds.

Some lower-level supernatural worlds can also have restrictions imposed, such as prohibiting [King of Ghosts] level beings from entering, which is an easy thing for the world creator to do.

"You should be glad you went to participate in the SSS-level dungeon, otherwise you might have encountered a bizarre attack in the middle of the night."

“I can’t remind you directly, so I have to have Arceus relay it to you.”

The King of Human Observers used his tentacles to lean on the railing and gazed at the school square.

“I knew I couldn’t just talk to that guy directly, so I told him to tell you not to go. I knew he would definitely try to persuade you to go.”

"Because he hates being ordered around, he usually does the opposite."

He really had a firm grasp on Arceus's personality. If he had told Arceus directly, that guy would have definitely told Jiang Ran not to go to the Strange Tales World, or he wouldn't have bothered to relay the words at all.

Of course, Jiang Ran did not believe that this sentence would affect her final decision.

"I sensed the existence of the divinely inspired world and saw my own reflection within it. Therefore, I can use certain paradoxes to bring myself down, but it won't last long."

"This is also thanks to a certain little guy who even remembered me, the headmaster, in his dreams. This shows that my school has not been established in vain."

"A world of divine revelation?"

“That’s right, the world of divine revelation.” The King of Human Observers rolled his eyes. “Didn’t you want to know how to seize divinity without killing people? This is the way!”

"Unlock the divinity itself, and then create a world of divine revelation! The difficulty and content of the world of divine revelation depend on the corresponding divine authority. As long as you can clear the world of divine revelation, you will be able to obtain the corresponding divinity!"

"However, if you die in it, all the divinity within you will be plundered by the possessor of divinity in the world of divine revelation! It's a bit like a high-stakes gamble, isn't it?"

"So, the entire Dream Sea is a world of divine revelation?"

As long as you clear the Dream Sea, you can obtain the corresponding portion of divinity. Conversely, if you die in the Dream Sea, the owner of the divinity will obtain the core divinity of the Wheel of Destiny and three subordinate divinities!

Can those who possess divinity interfere with the divinely revealed world itself?

"I'm sorry, that's not possible."

"The only factors that can determine the outcome are the challenger's own strength and the difficulty of the instance. Nothing else can interfere. If a [True God] level expert were to interfere, the entire Land of Divine Revelation would collapse, the challenge would be nullified, no one would die, and no one's divinity would be taken away."

The King of Human Observers knew far more secrets than Jiang Ran had imagined!

"At that time, the Wheel of Fate told me this information and asked me to choose which fallen god I liked to bet on. I could choose to help or I could choose to watch from the sidelines."

“I didn’t intend to help you from the beginning, but since you’re making the fastest progress, I’ll give you a push.”

"I only want to see the next Wheel of Fortune born as soon as possible, but I don't care who sits in that position. If you die in a certain link, I will also help the person who stole your divinity."

It's blatant, yet realistic; this is the competition among fallen gods.

If we extend the timeframe infinitely, then the aggregation of dispersed divine elements is an inevitable event.

"Thank you." Regardless of the King of Human Observers' motives, since he was willing to lend a helping hand to Jiang Ran, Jiang Ran had to express his gratitude.

"I wonder which divinity corresponds to the Dream Sea?"

“It is the Lovers,” the King of Human Observers explained. “The effect of the Lovers is complete openness and honesty, which is the opposite of the Hermits under the Pope, two aspects of divinity.”

"The most common use of the word 'lover' is mind reading, which can be further explained as 'peeping into secrets'. Oh, no, how can it be called 'peeping'? It should be the other person voluntarily 'sharing' it."

"In the eyes of lovers, there are no secrets."

Therefore, the Dream Sea corresponding to "Lovers" can directly connect to everyone's deepest dreams, allowing everyone's desires to be exposed.

"Taking the liberty of entering someone else's subconscious is a very dangerous thing."

"If you're not careful, you'll be swallowed up by your dreams."
