Chapter 1849 The Gaze of the Goddess of Misfortune!
"Master..."
After a mere 0.02 seconds of hesitation, Kratos finally deflated like a punctured balloon and let out a weak, listless cry.
"Don't call me master!"
Balgon tilted his head back, stared upwards, and began to speak sarcastically:
"You're my master when it comes to making foolish and stupid mistakes!"
"How many times have I told you? If you're not capable, don't be impatient for quick success! You have to be down-to-earth and take it one step at a time!"
"How much leniency has His Majesty the Emperor shown you? Is this how you repay him?"
"A meticulously planned team wipe?"
"Do you know that His Majesty the Emperor personally went to the real world to clean up your mess?!"
"You complete idiot!!"
As he spoke, Balgon seemed unable to suppress his anger and kicked forward.
Kratos heard a muffled thud, his vision suddenly plummeted, and he nearly collapsed.
If it weren't for the numerous iron chains binding him, which restricted his movement to some extent, he would probably have already fallen flat on his face.
"General Balgon, I haven't finished debugging yet!"
Arost's displeased voice came from beneath Kratos, forcefully stopping Balgon's actions:
"It's not too late for you to discipline me after I've finished adjusting things."
"I don't fucking care about him!" Balgon growled angrily.
Suppressing his anger, he stepped aside, took several deep breaths to calm himself, and then sincerely apologized to Arost:
"I'm sorry, Sergeant Aroste, I lost control of my emotions just now and caused trouble for your work."
"Oh well, we're in the Endless Forest anyway, the armor can be repaired quickly if it breaks." Arost's muffled reply followed, as if he had disappeared into a semi-enclosed container.
As he spoke, Kratos felt as if his empty body was being enveloped by some kind of warm, viscous liquid.
It was as if invisible threads were connected to his mind, bringing a completely different experience from either a soul or a physical body.
Although there was no pain, Kratos felt very uncomfortable.
The feeling of emptiness did not disappear as the warm, moist liquid enveloped the body; instead, it became more intense.
This made him anxious and uneasy.
The thought of doing something to eliminate this emptiness quickly took shape in my mind and grew stronger over time.
"What...what's wrong with me?"
Kratos asked somewhat anxiously.
He can accept being severely disabled.
They can even accept the possibility of death at any time.
But he couldn't keep waiting in this unbearable emptiness and uncertainty.
He desperately needs to understand his own situation!
And, we need a goal!
Even if it means becoming a living specimen and displaying it in the prison of Geheros, recounting the sins he committed every day to warn other criminals!
Because he really couldn't take it anymore!
"You're dead, along with your brothers and sisters, in that battle for godhood." Arost's muffled voice came from beneath Kratos, tinged with helplessness.
"But His Majesty the Emperor is merciful. After learning of your foolish actions, he still insisted on recovering your bodies."
"And on your corpses, the residual power of the Chosen One of Fate was found."
"The remaining power of the Ruins of Xi?" Kratos was taken aback, and blurted out instinctively:
"Lucky?"
My already bewildered state of mind became even more perplexing.
To be honest, Kratos didn't think he was particularly lucky at the time.
The plan's development cannot be described as smooth.
It was completely contrary to what he had expected.
This is absolutely terrible luck!
If his corpse still retained the power of the 'lucky' authority, how could he have ended up in this state?
“That was previous intelligence,” Balgon added, having calmed down.
"This time, His Majesty the Emperor personally led the investigation and made a major discovery."
"The power possessed by the chosen one of destiny, Xu Rangxi, is not actually 'luck' at all, but rather 'misfortune' which is the opposite of luck."
"'Misfortune'?!" Kratos realized instantly.
That makes sense.
That makes perfect sense!
No wonder he felt his luck started to turn bad after entering the Blue Flame Starfield.
It turns out it was due to the influence of the power of 'misfortune'!
"Her innate ability isn't related to luck at all, but rather to [the gaze of the goddess of misfortune]!" Balgon continued:
"However, ever since Xu Rangxi opened the data panel and awakened his talent ability, this secret has been highly valued by the Xingheng Clan."
"We have always claimed that the talent that Xu Rangxi possesses is related to luck."
"Even after she accumulated divinity and acquired the power of 'misfortune,' it remained the same."
"Why?" Kratos asked, his voice tinged with surprise.
"In the real universe where Xu Rangxi exists, she seems to be the only chosen one of destiny. Hiding or pretending would be pointless..."
“It’s meaningless. That’s just from your perspective, based on your understanding,” Arost said, emerging from below.
While continuing to tap and bang, he casually continued:
"For His Majesty the Emperor, who has read through a large number of ancient secret texts, this seemingly meaningless action by the Starry Sky Clan may contain extremely important intelligence."
"Otherwise, His Majesty would not have risked his own life to retrieve your body parts from the Blue Flame Star Sector."
Kratos remained silent.
indeed.
Although sometimes His Majesty the Emperor's decisions can be baffling and incomprehensible.
But in hindsight, those decisions were all incredibly wise and correct!
According to His Majesty the Emperor himself, a small part of all this was due to his extensive reading of documents recorded in ancient esoteric texts, while the majority was thanks to the inspiration that Lord Lu Li gave him in the ruins.
If we say that the elusive Lord Lu Li is a wise man with foresight...
Emperor Babayak of Gobelin was the most loyal executor and follower of that great sage!
However, Kratos still didn't quite understand.
His Majesty the Emperor has clearly figured out the Starry Sky Clan's deeply hidden secrets, so why go to such lengths to resurrect this sinner?
Although Kratos was well aware of His Majesty's benevolence,
However, given the overall effectiveness of the entire group, it is clearly illogical to use the newly developed cutting-edge technology of the 'Iron Coffin' life support system to save a fool like him.
Even the lingering power of 'misfortune' within him requires further research...
Why not just keep the body?
Why waste Aros's precious time and go to great lengths to awaken his consciousness?
unless……
Does this lingering power of authority within him require Kratos to live?
