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

　There is a special power in the voice of the goddess of fate that can make people involuntarily follow her thoughts.

　However, when all the hidden thoughts are brought to light, the evil that breeds in the dark and damp places is invisibly dissolved.

　As the saying goes, when the sun shines brightly, all things become visible.

　The prophets regained their senses and ceased their greed, and the voice of the Fates, Verdandi, suddenly vanished without a trace.

　The "Doll of Fortune" also suddenly fell silent.

　Before Professor Mitia and the others, who were examining the doll, could react, the light in the doll's eyes suddenly disappeared.

　It was as if, in an instant, I had turned into a rag doll.

　Professor Mitis was startled and quickly examined the body. After a long while, she said helplessly, "He's dead."

　"Dead." The tower master of the Star Tower frowned suddenly.

　The surrounding prophets were all speechless, exchanging bewildered glances. "The Sage of the Stars" Grinton immediately stepped forward, gathering starlight at his fingertips and poking the doll's forehead.

　But the starlight seeped in and then disappeared, yet nothing changed. Grinton cursed inwardly and stepped back.

　"Could it be that the goddess of fate, seeing that things were hopeless, simply abandoned her doll?"

　The prophets speculated in their minds, each subconsciously calculating the future.

　Those who were more sensitive instantly turned pale. "Oh no, oh no!"

　As Dak turned his head slightly, he saw Granny Maggie staring at his fingers and muttering to herself, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

　Could it be...

　He turned to look at the tattered doll and suddenly realized that he seemed to lack a bit of reverence for the gods.

　There are various reasons why things have turned out this way, but it seems to be the case.

　However, throughout history, deities have always been inviolable.

　Their current actions have clearly offended the goddess of fate.

　Moreover, judging from the situation, they've offended someone quite badly.

　If the goddess of fate, Verdandi, is not actually here, then it is highly likely that she used that doll as a medium to extend her divine power to this place.

　She could send mass text messages to the prophets for help to save her doll, and naturally, she could also hold a grudge against them because of the doll's death.

　In this situation, those who are directly or indirectly responsible for all of this will naturally be highlighted.

　To be specifically marked by a deity that has already revived, or is in the process of reviving, is that something bad or something else?

　"Probably, probably, maybe, perhaps... the person I'm most highlighted as is not me."

　"I don't think so. No matter what, the one who should attract the most hatred is the tower master of the 'Star Tower,' not some nobody like me."

　Thinking this way, Dak felt a little more at ease, and then he couldn't help but think about the tower master of the "Star Tower".

　As the greatest prophet of his time, even though Edgar Wyford is the master of the "Tower of Stars," he cannot escape his status as a prophet; everything he has is derived from his divination abilities. But now that he has offended the goddess of fate, can he still see the future?

　Offending the Goddess of Fate - The Path of Divination Comes to an End

　How will the master of the "Star Tower," destined to be highlighted, continue down this path?

　Dark glanced at him and found that the tower master of the "Star Tower" showed no sign of panic.

　You can even vaguely see a relaxed expression on his face.

　It's as if achieving this result is already something we've been hoping for.

　What exactly happened?

　Recalling how the tower master of the "Star Tower" had used Professor Mydia's words to express the idea of ​​joining the "Serpent of Wisdom," Dark felt as if he had vaguely caught something, but he couldn't quite see it clearly.

　"Could it be that he's really planning for the future?"

　Upon closer examination, the profession of a prophet is indeed quite unique.

　Dark himself is a semi-astrologer, and now he is no longer a complete novice when it comes to the profession of prophet.

　He was well aware that being a prophet was a profession deeply intertwined with the power of fate.

　A large number of prophets believe that prophets are merely observers of the path of fate.

　In other words, once the changes in fate cannot be observed, the profession of prophet ceases to exist.

　From this perspective, being a prophet is completely different from most other professions.

　Whether they are warriors, mages, or archmages, they all cultivate themselves, so even if the gods resurrect, it will not have much of an impact on them.

　But prophets are different.

　When the god of fate truly awakens, most prophets will likely lose their ability to observe the trajectory of destiny.

　Even for the very few, such as prophets with "starry eyes," it becomes extremely difficult.

　Moreover, the god of fate wields power, which is fundamentally different from a prophet who can only observe from the outside.

　They can change the trajectory of fate from the inside out, and they can also easily set limits on those voyeurs who call themselves "prophets".

　As for creating illusions and confusing prophets, that's something anyone can do.

　Under such circumstances, even the prophets themselves might begin to doubt the accuracy of their own words.

　If that really comes to that, the only thing they can probably do is change jobs.

　Just like the master of the "Star Tower," who is already a mage. Although his achievements as a mage are far less than those of an astrologer, at least he has another path to take.

　After thinking about this, Dak suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a very likely guess.

　"Wait, could it be that the 'Star Tower' itself is actually a divine artifact of some god of fate?"

　The more Dak thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

　But if that's the case, the astrologers of the "Star Tower" might be able to become disciples of that god of fate.

　Of course, it's also possible that after the god of fate is resurrected, he will simply crush these usurpers.

　Then there really will be nothing left.

　Edgar Swift may have foreseen this in one of her divinations.

　and.

　Although Dark didn't notice.

　However, if any aspect of today's events were changed, it might indeed lead to an even worse outcome.

　At least for now, everyone is indeed safe and sound.

　Dark frowned and tried to calculate carefully, but still felt it was unclear, so he had to give up for the time being.

　With the doll dead, the chessboard once again became unattended.

　Mr. A floated in mid-air, gave a smile to the crowd below, and then gradually disappeared.

　The four "spectators" who were hosting the game pieces also broke free from their unattackable state.

　The "Sage of the Stars" immediately subdued them. Then, he extracted the instructions on how to use the four chess pieces from them.

　Everyone then gathered back into one square, with four people controlling the pieces. The pieces glowed faintly and then suddenly disappeared from the chessboard. Afterwards, Dark and the others returned to the Descending Star Platform.

　The order at the Star Descending Platform didn't descend into chaos as expected. However, obvious anxiety could still be seen in the eyes of some people. After all, Dark and the others had been in that chessboard space for quite some time.

　They appeared on the platform unharmed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

　Dark waved to Ellie in the audience, then continued to blend into the crowd.

　At this time, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. The best approach is to avoid attracting attention, especially tonight.

　Dark pulled Gina Grant slightly, then retreated to the back with Eudora, quietly watching the Tower Master of the "Star Tower" explain to the audience what would happen that night.

　He certainly couldn't tell everything, but it wasn't difficult for him to extract a few insignificant facts to illustrate his point.

　Moreover, after watching for a while, Dak discovered that the tower master of the "Star Tower" had no intention of ending the "Night of Prophecy"!

　Not only that, he quickly revived the atmosphere. Although the prophets, who had just experienced a calamity, had mixed feelings, not one of them objected.

　Tonight's "Night of Prophecy" inexplicably entered its second half.

　Dark sat back down in his seat with a subtle feeling, whispering to the few people around him, while watching the prophets' performance the whole time.

　In the second half, the astrologers of the "Star Tower" finally became active. The "Sage of the Stars," the "Silver Moon Witch," and many other very famous astrologers spoke up one after another.

　As night deepened, the movements of the stars became increasingly clear, and the prophet's predictions were no longer limited to disaster and destruction; words such as "new life," "hope," "light," and "transformation" also appeared more frequently.

　It seems that the fact of the "resurrection of the gods" has a significant impact on their prophetic tendencies.

　Although they did not state this matter explicitly during the ensuing "Night of Prophecy," they all hinted at it using vague language.

　This is certainly a rather cunning move.

　But that's just how prophets are.

　Dark silently memorized all the prophecies from different prophets, watching the game even more intently than in the first half.

　The second half of the "Night of Prophecy" was noticeably more entertaining. The prophets were less theatrical and more genuine, which allowed them to showcase their true abilities.

　In addition to presenting the most direct prophecies, they would also share their own observations and interpret them together with the other prophets.

　Trainees like Dak can learn a lot and improve their prediction skills by watching these interpretations.

　Even little Eevee, sitting in his lap watching, gained a lot. At this moment, Dark didn't even think about the prophet...

　Whether a profession still has a future or not, just keep learning.

　Although the path to becoming a mage is relatively simple, the knowledge base required for continuous improvement is no less than that of a magician.

　With more learning and accumulation, one day quantitative change will lead to qualitative change.

　After midnight, the "Night of Prophecy" entered its crucial phase.

　Edgar Swift, the master of the "Star Tower," personally took the stage and slowly recounted his prophecies from this period of time.

　It is called a "prophecy," but overall it does not contain any particularly prophetic statements.

　He slowly and deliberately explained his predictions about future developments. His predictions were neither optimistic nor pessimistic; in short, they were quite balanced and cautious.

　When he speaks slowly and deliberately, you will feel that he is very capable, and his views are very profound and insightful.

　But after you finish speaking and carefully consider what he said, you will find that he is indeed very capable and what he said is very profound.

　But after a few days, when you come to your senses... you'll realize that you haven't learned anything, and he actually didn't say anything.

　The "Night of Prophecy" continued in a heightened atmosphere until the last star in the sky disappeared, marking its end.

　Aside from the unexpected events that occurred in the middle, this "night of prophecy" was actually very successful.

　After tonight, many remarkable prophecies will be circulated, causing a huge reaction both within and outside the kingdom.

　The unexpected events that occurred tonight will inevitably spread. The encounters of the prophets in the chessboard space may become legends, passed down by word of mouth.

　I just don't know if the "Star Tower" wants this matter to become known.

　In short, the resurrection of the gods is likely something that cannot be kept secret by those who are interested.

　This is quite a headache for Dak and his team.

　They originally intended to proceed gradually after the Magic Alliance was established, which would have accelerated the process.

　In this world, there is no shortage of people who blindly worship gods, whether they are good or evil.

　However, it will probably take some time for the matter to truly escalate.

　In the short term, the general public will only regard it as a rumor.

　dawn.

　The prophets, though reluctant to leave, had to depart. Next came the time for a private meeting.

　Some people will leave the "Star Tower" immediately, while others will stay.

　Dark decided to leave immediately, and even said goodbye to Eudora in advance.

　But just as he was about to leave, he heard from his senior, Feltsteinbeck, that the "Sage of the Stars" had arranged to meet him.

　Dark was no longer so interested in the "Sage of the Stars'" technology. But since he had already received the "invitation," he couldn't very well refuse outright, so he agreed.

　Despite not having slept all night, he remained energetic, proving that the "Sage of the Stars" is indeed vigorous and can stay awake all night.

　The two sat facing each other in the guest room, a cup of hot tea with goji berries steeping in it on the table. They looked at each other.
