After a long while.
Watching Orsaga once again toss the so-called sacrifices into the golden sphere of light beside him.
Wanwan, along with quite a few others, sensed an increasingly intense fluctuation brewing.
Yet they still could not understand what Orsaga was trying to do.

It was also at this moment.
Orsaga took out a roulette wheel
