When Laplace heard about Angel's experience while fishing, he concluded, "Wonderland Authority is protesting."
Angel said, "...You're making Wonderland Authority sound far too human."
Laplace said, "But isn't that exactly what it is?"
Angel fell silent for a moment. "Wonderland Authority has no independent consciousness. It makes judgments based more on the logic of its authority."
"Still, interpreting it as a protest works too."
"But in fact, I could transcend those restrictions."
Although using the power of Nightmare Illusion caused the challenge timer to stop, making any fish caught during that time uncountable,
as long as Angel was willing, he could still achieve a high score.
For example, while time was stopped, he could observe the movements of the fish school, even herd them toward the hook himself and control them into taking the bait... Then he could cancel Nightmare Illusion and let time resume.
By using such roundabout methods, achieving a higher score would not have been a problem.
"Still, I ultimately chose to give up."
Laplace said, "Oh?"
Angel shrugged. "You said it yourself—it was 'protesting' in this way. I certainly couldn't just ignore it."
Wonderland Authority acted according to logic, and its "protest" was, in truth, a kind of "hint."
The misfortune of Sorrowful Star could most likely only be borne by those favored by fate with extraordinary luck. Anyone else who obtained Sorrowful Star would only be eroded by its misfortune, and would be unable to free it from its prison of bad luck.
Although Nightmare Illusion possessed the authority to transcend such limits, whether it could restrain misfortune was truly hard to say. After all, this involved the profound and mysterious concept of fate.
Thus, after pondering it for a moment, Angel still gave up.
Of course, there was another reason: he had scored zero
