Chapter 1762 - 151: The Past Is Gone (Part 3)
"So what should we do? You mentioned it for nothing, what’s the use?"
"..."
Fisher didn’t expect the Cardinal of Destiny to be so useless. In his previous speculation, the power of the Cardinal of Destiny, who had masqueraded as Tangze Asuka for thousands of years, should have been terrifying. At the very least, it should be like the goddess of destiny in mythical stories, with the ability to foresee the future.
But in the end, is this all there is?
No wonder Erwin decided to defect and cause destruction everywhere; under your leadership, it’s already quite good that the Creation Society is only now falling apart.
"..."
Both Fisher and the Cardinal of Destiny, who had overestimated each other, fell into an eerie silence. After a long time, it was Fisher’s clever mind that first came up with a solution. He sighed, grabbed Emery Hart, who was pretending to be a mood lamp next to him, and prepared to turn away.
The Cardinal of Destiny, still pondering behind him, couldn’t help but raise her head to look at his back, questioning,
"So, just like that?"
"..." Fisher turned back to look at her in disbelief, replying, "Ma’am, can we just leave it be when it concerns the Doomsday Prophecy?"
"Then what are you going to do now?"
"Go look for my woman, you come with me too."
"?"
Fisher sighed, and reluctantly explained to her directly,
"Since the method to contact Dalasgon within the world doesn’t work, we’ll just go straight to the Spirit Realm; maybe that’ll succeed. Alagina has a Cardinal that can lead to the Angel Sanctuary in the Spirit Realm, and her Cardinal technique, as well as that David who talked to us, came from there. We’re going to check it out with Alagina; you study the Cardinal, and I’ll try to contact Dalasgon..."
The Cardinal of Destiny was slightly stunned, feeling awkwardly apologetic afterward.
Perhaps because of Fisher’s rigid impression of personal matters, especially when thinking of the worshiped President Asuka constantly worried about such a greedy man, she perhaps still felt a bit resentful.
Not to mention, the complex matters with these women, who knows how long it’ll take to fulfill the promise to find Tangze Asuka?
Of course, objectively speaking, Fisher had no alternative either.
He’s got too many debts of affection, like a roof with dozens of big leaks; despite trying his best under the pouring rain, he only has two hands to fix it, patching the east means it leaks in the west, and clearly Asuka’s clues are related to the Spirit Realm, it’s not his fault he can’t manage there yet.
However, if one’s impression is devoid of subjectivity, that would be strange, wouldn’t it?
At least now, the Cardinal of Destiny acknowledged some other traits of this man overshadowed by his flaws.
She quickly floated up, silently following Fisher.
"Speaking of which, old lady, aren’t you the Cardinal of Destiny? Why can’t you foresee like the Elves and Phoenix?"
"...Ugly, firstly, the power I wield is better described as ’chaotic guidance’; compared to prophecy, I’m more adept at making the current and future direction uncontrollable and unpredictable; moreover, among the Elves, apart from the Third Son Gui, no one can truly foresee the future, and the Phoenix’s ability to foresee is weak to the point that without being of Mythical Rank it’s negligible. Got it, ugly?"
"Oh, got it, old lady."
"That’s good, ugly."
"..."
Fisher glanced at Emery Hart on his shoulder, reaching a strange balance with the Cardinal of Destiny, feeling these two had a stable camaraderie despite their insults.
With that, he led the Cardinal of Destiny all the way down, returning near Alagina’s laboratory, where her crew resided; earlier they were outside conducting experiments, and by now, they had returned, voices of conversation floated from the rooms behind, and those walking outside greeted him warmly,
"Mr. Fisher!"
Fisher smiled and nodded in response, watching familiar-faced crew members walk by, not seeing Isabella and the others; upon inquiry, he learned they took the three Mouse-man sisters to hunt outside.
Not yet close to Alagina’s laboratory, Fisher vaguely heard the faint sound of conversation from within, a sound only those of Mythical Rank could capture. And Fisher, with the blessing of chaos, the conversation sound became extraordinarily clear.
Inside came the voice of Chief Officer Pahetz,
"Alagina, we already have such a Cardinal in our hands; if not now, when?"
Followed by the somewhat hesitant voice of Alagina,
"Pahetz, now is the time to present a united front; no matter what, our focus should be on Nali, on the Doomsday Prophecy Fisher mentioned, rather than on this."
"Alagina, we’re still in a position where we’re dependent on others; just presenting results without operation is useless. Equal treatment for all races by the Phoenixes only exists in legends, and currently, the Wutong Tree only has one Phoenix, the other Six Clans don’t have the Phoenix’s breadth of spirit. Especially that Grey Bird Clan Leader from Sardinia Female Country; she looks down on us and even directly insulted Ossie."
Pahetz seemed to be earnestly persuading Alagina regarding some matter,
