Chapter 741 The Reason for Forgetting
At this time, many high-level prophets were gathering in the deep web of fate to snipe at the gray fog.
After obtaining the corresponding frequency of destiny fluctuations from the hermit, Avis also entered the 'meeting room' where many prophets gathered.
It was still a crack artificially opened in the deep web of fate, and Avis's thought appeared here.
The surroundings were a strange space formed by the intersection of countless lines of destiny shining with starlight. Avis' form was like a condensed silver light-like consciousness, floating in it as if weightless.
At this time, there were already many beings in a similar state as him, gathered in this space, nervously communicating with each other about the attack situation.
Since Gray Fog's progress has far surpassed that of others, a group of high-level prophets decided to temporarily join forces. Under the leadership of several of the strongest ones, they jointly launched an attack on Gray Fog from the level of destiny, at least to knock him down from the state of being on the verge of a breakthrough.
"[Mirror], you're here."
Sensing the appearance of Avis's consciousness, some other prophets who had met him once before greeted him with a little awe.
As the most outstanding among the eighth-level prophets, many other prophets have secretly paid attention to Avis.
As long as Gray Mist is still there, they are all potential allies. If Gray Mist is eventually killed or is no longer the closest being to a ninth-order prophet, then the next enemy may be someone present.
"I encountered some emergency situations before and couldn't get out. What is the current situation of the gray fog?"
Without any extra words, Avis quickly asked several nearby fortune tellers about the current situation of the gray fog.
"Gray Mist's current state is very strange. According to the Eye of Insight, Gray Mist should have met all the conditions for breaking through to the ninth level, but he still hasn't been able to break through. It seems that he is being blocked by some unknown thing."
Hearing Avis' question, a prophet with tiny golden spots on his body and a shape like molten metal came slightly closer and explained to Avis.
"Because Gray Mist is too powerful, we are unable to observe what problem Gray Mist has encountered, but this may be our last chance..."
"Let me tell you what happened—"
However, before the prophet finished explaining, a sudden "voice" suddenly sounded from the entire space without any warning.
Along with this voice, a gray mist with an astonishing breath of fate suddenly appeared in the center of this space.
"Gray fog?!"
The moment they sensed the appearance of the mist, the consciousness of many of the prophets present froze for a moment, and then suddenly began to fluctuate violently. Everyone instinctively stopped their actions, and several prophets even exploded into light spots without hesitation and dissipated.
While directly abandoning this consciousness, try to erase as many traces of your own existence as possible to avoid being traced to a specific location along the line of fate.
"Gray Mist! You found this place?!"
Looking at the sudden appearance of gray fog, a prophet named "Eye of Insight" whose fate fluctuation was the strongest in the field except for the gray fog and whose consciousness was like countless diamond crystals gathered stood out from the crowd and spoke solemnly.
"Why are you so surprised? Aren't you guys targeting me? As a being that can make you attack together, do you think I can't find this place?"
Although he was under attack, Gray Mist's tone remained calm.
"Don't be nervous. I'm not here to cause you any trouble. On the contrary, we don't have to be enemies.
I believe you should know that I have met all the conditions to break through to the ninth-level prophet. And the reason why I still haven't broken through, which you are curious about, is also very simple.
My teacher, the only ninth-level prophet on the continent, Stargazer, set a special restriction deep in the Web of Destiny. Any prophet who wants to break through from the eighth level to the ninth level will trigger it, causing the feedback of the Web of Destiny to be forcibly delayed for a period of time.
This period of time is enough for my dear teacher to deal with the prophet who wants to break through the ninth level. No prophet can be an exception, even me who was once his student. "
"Do you know? When I learned all this, I once asked him why he wanted to stop all the prophets from breaking through the ninth level regardless of the consequences.
And the answer my dear teacher gave me was: He forgot!
He only remembers now that if other fortune tellers break through to the ninth level, there will be very serious consequences. "
At this point, Gray Mist sneered sarcastically.
"I forgot. What a good reason. What a convincing one. Unfortunately, this reason couldn't convince me, so I chose to leave him.
My teacher did not stop me, because even if I left the floating city and the Magic Council, I could not leave this world and the web of fate.
As long as you are covered by the web of fate, no matter where you break through, you will be stopped by him.
But now, my dear teacher is already overwhelmed, and without his supervision, it won’t be long before I can solve this last obstacle.
This is the truth of everything. Your actions of attacking the construction network and even trying to attack me personally are meaningless!"
"...If it's meaningless, then why did you come all the way here to tell us this?"
After hearing Gray Mist's words, the Eye of Insight was shocked in its heart, but it remained unmoved on the surface, and directly pointed out the loopholes in Gray Mist's behavior.
"It's simple. I said at the beginning that we don't necessarily have to stand on hostile ground. I hope you can understand that Stargazer is just sleeping now, not sleeping forever.
He might continue to sleep for decades, or he might wake up again in the next second.
You are trying every possible way to stop me from breaking through now. Do you expect that after my teacher wakes up, he will allow you to break through in gratitude for your contribution?"
As he spoke, Gray Mist sneered again.
"I just want you to understand one fact now. You can no longer stop me from breaking through, but I am not my teacher who is hostile to everyone.
Therefore, I can now make a promise to you in the name of the web of fate. If someone is willing to join my camp and fight against my teacher together with me, I can sign a fate contract with him.
After I officially break through to the ninth level, not only will I not hinder you, I will even take the initiative to help the fortune tellers who join my camp break through to the ninth level, but the number is limited to three. "
My teacher must have some reason for doing this. Although I don't agree with his actions, I am not prepared to take the risk of allowing all prophets to break through to the ninth level freely.
At the same time, no matter what choice you make, I can write off all your previous offenses against me. But if you continue to attack me after I leave, then you will bear the consequences yourself! "
I accidentally twisted my waist yesterday and couldn't type, so I'm posting today.
