[Fate Card Player] was a brand-new Talent Ability evolved from [Compulsive Gambler] after being specifically enhanced by Xu Xiao's [Life Bestowal].
Like [Soul Devour], [Fate Card Player] was a Talent Ability with no rank.
While retaining [Compulsive Gambler]'s original replication effect, it gained an additional effect: "Rewrite Fate."
And the price was that the Talent Ability holder would permanently damage their own status ceiling!
Put simply, it meant trading the chance to become a god in the future for the chance to divert the Fate River.
But only once.
Once that effect was used, the Talent Ability [Fate Card Player] would devolve back into [Compulsive Gambler].
And the Talent Ability holder would permanently lose the chance to ascend the divine throne.
Having only just awakened from her coma, Nikita merely skimmed through the details of her new Talent before directly asking the Jiang sisters to send her back to the battlefield.
Thus, she had not closely examined the newly added "Rewrite Fate" effect.
When she heard the Time Dragon's roar, she immediately activated her Talent, preparing to replicate Alisa's [Goddess of Fortune's Favor].
Only after successfully replicating it and forcibly raising the Time Dragon's luck value
did Nikita belatedly notice the new effect on her Data Panel.
"Rewrite Fate?"
"What fucking fate am I supposed to rewrite?"
As she muttered to herself, multicolored light bloomed in Nikita's azure eyes, dazzling like diamonds.
The scenery before her changed.
Figures frozen motionless in place rapidly vanished one after another.
A vast river, so broad it seemed boundless, cascaded down from the heavens. Its raging waves surged and churned, throwing up layer after layer of spray.
Nikita's gaze pierced through overlapping layers of time and space, glimpsing everything that ordinary people could never see.
At last, it settled on that slightly slender back.
