The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Jerome Bennett exclaimed excitedly, "It's heaven! I saw heaven! Snow-white feathers were falling from the sky, the ground was covered with velvet, angels were descending from heaven, and God was smiling behind us... There's no mistake, that's heaven!"

　Everyone around them stared at them.

　Jerome Bennett has a fairly good reputation in the prophetic world; he is a very down-to-earth and steady person. He puts his heart and soul into every commission, so he has a good reputation.

　But even he displayed such madness; what kind of "heaven" did he see? And how much of it remained undescribed?

　What exactly did Jerome Bennett see, and why was he so sure it was (heaven)?

　If even Jerome could see it, then could they also see the prophets looking at each other, feeling pressure, but even more so, greed and desire?

　More and more prophets gradually entered a state of divination. Even some audience members began to divine.

　"Night of Prophecy" is gradually moving towards an unpredictable... no, that's not right, perhaps that's the real reason why Edgar Swift chose to hold "Night of Prophecy" tonight.

　He had already sensed the signs of the gods' resurgence, and guiding Principal Arte to the Mountain of the Gods was proof of that.

　Convene a "Night of Prophecy" to enhance prophecy through the power of the stars.

　The divination abilities of the scholars.

　Using multiple people to perform divination to increase the chances of obtaining information from the gods. These are all things that might have been planned before the truth about the Heavenly Court was known.

　Even after Edgar Swift learned some new information, the "Night of Prophecy" had already been announced, and this could not be changed even in order to maintain the authority of the "Star Tower." So, Edgar Swift decided to play along and try to obtain more information related to the gods.

　Collect and carefully summarize these divination results, select the most reliable parts to explore, and obtain the opportunity to become a deity.

　Edgar Swift stood by indifferently.

　In his eyes, these prophets had become cold, impersonal machines for acquiring information.

　"Ow!"

　The sloth beastman, who had fallen asleep sometime earlier, suddenly awoke with a start. He had seen something extremely terrifying in his dream, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

　The green-shelled turtle-like beastman craned his neck to look, asking with concern. The sloth-like beastman twitched his lips and said, "I saw the end of the world!" "Oh," the turtle-like beastman slowly withdrew his head.

　Many people have seen the apocalypse, including the old tortoise.

　The owl-man on the other side rolled its eyes and tilted its head, asking, "What kind of apocalypse?"

　The sloth beastman cried out in panic, "We've been eaten! We've been eaten!" "That's rather novel. Did you turn into a shrimp in your dream?" the turtle fortune teller said sarcastically.

　The sloth beastman wasn't angry, or rather, it was too lazy to be angry. It simply repeated, "You really were eaten! You were skewered and roasted over a fire, I was chopped into pieces and boiled in your turtle shell, and the owl... the owl only had one head left!"

　The turtle-man grew increasingly horrified as he listened: "Wait, you mean I was eaten?"

　The sloth beastman said, "I said 'us,' 'us'!" The turtle man hysterically retorted, "I thought it was you!" The sloth beastman said, "I said it was us!"

　The two men seized on this trivial matter and began arguing fiercely. Only the owl-man remained engrossed in divination, trembling all over.

　On the other side, a faint silver light suddenly appeared on Eudora's body, and her eyes gradually became unfocused.

　Dark had been watching closely, and with one glance he knew she was about to trigger "Apocalypse" again. In a hurry, he reached out and grabbed her hand, his spiritual power flowing into her body through her fingers and palm.

　Yudora looked dazed, as if she had fallen asleep while writing all night and then suddenly woke up with a start. She shuddered and instantly became aware of her surroundings.

　She snapped out of her daze and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

　Dak felt the coldness of her hand and didn't let go. A fire quietly ignited in his heart, warming his soul.

　As Eudora gradually recovered, she noticed her two hands with their fingers intertwined.

　"The fire of the soul!"

　Professor Mitia suddenly appeared in front of Eudora.

　Dark released her hand very naturally and said to Professor Mitis, "Professor, I think she needs to rest."

　Professor Mitis shook her head and said, "It's no use. Tonight's timing is special; it's the same everywhere. We just need to get through tonight."

　"Is that so?" Dark frowned and said in a low voice, "What else will happen tonight?"

　Professor Mitya whispered, "Nothing will happen." Dark nodded, indicating that he understood.

　It seems something was bound to happen, but the "Star Tower" is fully prepared and will not harm the guests.

　Looking behind them, even more people have divined their future.

　A fat man with big ears suddenly jumped up and wept like an opera singer, then suddenly knelt down and cried uncontrollably.

　When someone asked him what was wrong, he suddenly flung their arm away, yelling, "Why, why did this happen... I have nothing left, I have nothing left!"

　Darke recognized him immediately and said, "That's an act, isn't it?"

　Professor Mitis glanced in that direction, and remained silent for a moment: "How did they sneak in?"

　After a while, the actors who were acting too exaggeratedly were dragged away by the Star Armor Guards.

　In the past, the imposters who infiltrated the tower, even if they didn't have real divination abilities, were all eloquent and had superb acting skills. The one just now was really too clumsy.

　She sighed and said, "Aren't you going to leave a message in the 'Book of Prophecy'? This is a rare opportunity."

　Gina Grant's eyes lit up, and she said, "Quess, nobody's paying attention to us right now. I'll be right back."

　After saying that, she actually went.

　The Book of Prophecy still stood in the air, and Edgar Swift stood beside it. But it had been a long time since anyone had come up to deliver their prophecy.

　Gina Grant touched him directly, with her back to the tower master, and it was a prophetic gesture.

　Dark hadn't quite caught what prophecy she'd said. Anyway, she spoke incredibly fast, and it didn't seem to be official language; she rattled off a string of words and then ran back. Her cheeks were flushed after her successful sly maneuver, suggesting she'd probably never done anything like it before.

　Dark wanted to ask her what exactly she had predicted. She then began sharing her experiences of thieving.

　"In short, speak quickly and choose obscure, difficult-to-understand language to avoid embarrassment. From my observation, the 'Book of Prophecy' can be recorded in official script regardless of the language."

　She generously shared her experience, and Feltsteinbeck, who was standing next to her, suddenly became interested as well.

　To demonstrate their power, prophets constantly speak of disasters and the end of the world. But in reality, what they most easily predict are large-scale calamities.

　Because if the disaster is large in scale, it will affect many things. As long as you can find even the slightest clue, you can follow the trail and determine the disaster.

　Moreover, prophets who have lived in this environment for a long time are inevitably influenced by the views and values ​​of the older generation.

　It's always right to talk about disasters and the end of the world.

　But if someone comes to power and still talks about disasters and the end of the world all the time, wouldn't that be incredibly shameful?

　"While no one's paying attention..." Fetsteinbeck couldn't help but start moving.

　A moment later, unable to withstand the tower master's sharp gaze, she slipped back.

　“Useless—” Dark complained.

　Feltsteinbeck protested, "Then go ahead!" Dark smiled and said, "Fine, I'll go."

　He had already discussed the answer with Eudora yesterday, and this time he went up and read it aloud from his mind, which was then recorded in the "Book of Prophecy".

　Eudora couldn't resist making the trip herself and left her mark on the "Book of Prophecy".

　As a result, this supposedly "Book of Prophecy" was treated like a tourist attraction's "I was here" sign-in.

　Seeing that the other three had all left prophecies, Fetsteinbeck couldn't resist any longer and slipped over. This time, he braved the tower master's gaze and made a prophecy that was sure to come true.

　And at this moment, a new round of anomalies suddenly occurred on this "Night of Prophecy".

　Suddenly, a few "spectators" mixed in with the crowd made their move, each throwing a black chess piece in all directions.

　The black chess piece grew as soon as it landed, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into four enormous pieces, locking the four corners of the platform.

　All the prophets with "the right to speak" were imprisoned inside. The rest of the audience noticed something was wrong and instinctively ran away.

　The "spectators" ignored them and ran straight to the chess pieces. The four pieces formed a square barrier, and dark ripples spread rapidly in all directions.

　When those few "spectators" ran to the chess pieces, everyone on the platform disappeared.

　Dark looked down suddenly and found that the ground beneath his feet had turned into a giant chessboard.

　Apart from the chessboard, the surroundings were pitch black, like an endless void. They had been teleported to some special space!

　[The 15,000-word bonus chapter has ended. The March bonus chapter reward has been cleared. There are 7 bonus chapters for April, 3 of which have been paid off, leaving only 4 chapters, which will be paid off at a later date.]

　Finally, I took a day off to catch up on sleep and deal with the backlog of tasks at the end of the month.

Chapter 1142 The Chessboard of Fate, Questions and Answers Are Useless (4k)

　The sudden spatial shift caused the prophets on the platform to cry out in alarm.

　Prophets are not magicians, and their divination talent is not magical talent. On this platform, more than half of the prophets are completely defenseless. Apart from divination, they have no ability to defend themselves. Once faced with such an unexpected crisis, they are no different from ordinary people in their vulnerability.

　However, after the initial panic subsided, reason quickly returned.

　The prophets soon realized that screaming and panic were pointless.

　At this time, we should work together, unite as one, and stand by the side of the "Star Tower" Master!

　At this very moment, Edgar Swift, the master of the "Star Tower," frowned slightly as he looked at the four "spectators" who had been teleported into the chessboard space together.

　The Star Tower had a premonition of what would happen tonight. However, on the surface, it did not take any special precautions and handled the situation as usual, only secretly investigating and identifying some suspects.

　However, those marked as suspects were basically "accomplices" brought by the invitees.

　However, these four "spectators" were not "attendants" nor were they on the list of marked suspects.

　They were all legitimate prophets who had received "invitations." They were simply those who weren't qualified to speak on stage.

　Of these four "audience members," Edgar Swift even knew two of them!

　He was very confident in his judgment and absolutely did not believe that those two people would do such a thing.

　However, faced with the facts, he could only admit that he had misjudged people... no, there might have been other reasons!

　A glint of light flashed in Edgar Swift's eyes, but his expression returned to calm, as if he had everything under control and that none of the unexpected events had occurred.

　The person closest to him at that moment was Fate Steinbeck, who had just stolen a chicken and was looking embarrassed and at a loss for what to do.

　Further ahead were "Sage of the Stars" Grinton Rossetti, "Silver Moon Witch" Mitis Bartholomew, "Witch of Norwegian Forest" Granny Maggie, and others.

　Then came Dark, Eudora, Gina Grant, and their group. Their seats disappeared, everyone stood up, and they instinctively moved closer to where the Tower Master was.

　Dark didn't stand out either, and followed Eudora and Gina to Professor Mitia's side.

　However, as he approached, his mind was racing. This special space was situated on a chessboard, which resembled a Go board, but with a different number of squares.

　Their position was just one square on the chessboard.

　The four enormous chess pieces were placed at the four corners of the square, forming a four-sided barrier that surrounded them.

　Although the chess pieces were large, they were extremely small relative to the entire chessboard. Dark observed his surroundings and immediately thought of the "Gateway to Heaven" in the warp—which was also related to his recent contemplation of matters related to the warp.

　The chessboard space gave him a sense of déjà vu, like that subspace. Of course, the two are not the same.

　At least here, he can breathe freely.

　In addition, there is a clear barrier inside the "Star Tower", which theoretically makes it impossible to teleport inside or outside, and even the "Spiritual Rhinoceros Technique" cannot penetrate it.

　If we believe in the strength of the "Star Tower's" barrier, then it means that this chessboard space is definitely not outside the tower.

　At most, it's like "within Heaven," something unrelated to "inside or outside," a kind of interdimensional teleportation.

　The environment of this chessboard space doesn't resemble an alternate dimension like "subspace".

　Therefore, it is more likely that it is a "built-in space," that is, a space built into a prop, similar to the inside of a "storage bag."

　This "certain prop" naturally refers to the chessboard under one's feet.

　Moreover, this chessboard might be somewhere inside this "Star Tower"! It might even be inside the "Star Descending Platform"!

　In theory, one can escape from this level of "internal space" by destroying the spatial barriers or even destroying the chessboard itself.

　But Dark stroked the little Eevee in his arms and chose to wait and see.

　If the "Star Tower" intentionally used this method to lure out the person behind the scenes, then his unauthorized intervention would have disrupted the "Star Tower's" plan.

　Therefore, it is best to be cautious at this time.

　Once the commotion subsided slightly, the four people standing next to the four chess pieces finally made a move.

　They brought this group of prophets to this space, which could not have been without reason.

　In fact, their purpose is very strong.

　After exchanging glances, the four suddenly pushed the chess pieces in front of them. Beams of light shot out from the four pieces, converging in the air, and a humanoid phantom quickly became clear before them.

　"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."
