Grasping the Tail of Fate

"Then why are you here?" Rosweisse felt it was best not to get entangled with this Witch named Vera over this question, otherwise she would be the one who couldn't hold on in the end.

Vera tilted her head in thought for a moment. She hadn't stood up from the deck the entire time. After some time Vera seemed to finally remember something. "Ah, right, many years ago, it seems like an old man in a priest's robe was chasing me... wanting to fight me."

"I was too lazy to fight him, so I disappeared into the mist, and the old man didn't chase after me."

Rosweisse's lips twitched slightly. "Then why didn't you just have that old man kill you back then?"

"At the time, although I felt that life was meaningless, I hadn't thought about dying."

"And then? Have you been spending all these years in the sea?" Rosweisse was somewhat shocked.

"Yes, that's right. Actually, you can try it too. It feels quite comfortable to float on the sea." Vera replied, and you could tell from her expression that Vera really thought so. But the more serious Vera was, the more strange Rosweisse felt.

Even if she is the Sloth Witch, drifting on the sea for so many years is still a bit too much, isn't it?

"Didn't you encounter any Magic Creature or anything like that? How did you eat? Didn't you starve to death?" Rosweisse didn't even know how she felt right now.

"Magic Creature? I should have encountered them, especially after I decided I didn't want to live anymore. Naturally, I hoped those monsters would eat me, but I don't know why, even though they were ugly and scary-looking creatures, they all turned around and ran away as soon as they saw me. Not one of them came to eat me."

"I won't resist at all, okay?"

Call...

Rosweisse rubbed her forehead again; her head felt a little sore.

Compared to humans, some monsters and similar creatures have a much more acute sense of perception.

They must have sensed that this woman floating motionless on the sea was actually very dangerous, which is why they kept their distance.

"As for food... I've actually thought that starving to death might not be so bad, but some fish and shrimp always inexplicably jump up and get into my mouth. Spitting them out is too much trouble, so I have to eat them. That's why I haven't starved to death yet," Vera answered honestly.

Rosweisse had no idea what her expression was like; it must have been quite a sight.

He had been sailing on this Endless Sea without encountering a single fish or shrimp, yet this woman always seemed to have fish and shrimp automatically crawling into her mouth?

Is this some kind of ridiculous nonsense?

I have a feeling that some mysterious force has been protecting this woman and preventing her from dying.

"Ah, right." Vera patted her head, as if she had remembered something very important. The woman who had been lying on the deck finally stood up... no, she floated up.

"I can feel that I have a very important task on my shoulders that I have not been able to complete."

"I need to hand something over to someone."

"Could you help me with this?" Vera, her large eyes fixed on Rosweisse.

I have a ton of problems of my own, how could I possibly have time to help this lazy woman?

"It is a Divine Authority..."

Rosweisse was about to refuse, but the words caught in her throat.

This woman always brings me surprises.

The Witch's identity is frightening enough, but now there's also the Divine Authority?

Rosweisse was no ordinary person; she knew that Transcendent Authority was the most powerful force that ordinary people could wield, but there were even more terrifying powers above the super-level.

That is a power that only gods can wield.

Could it be that Vera in front of us is actually a god?

No, she couldn't be a god.

Rosweisse had personally experienced the power of a god. Although Vera was powerful, even Augustus, who had reached the Demigod realm at the time, was inferior to her, let alone a true god.

Moreover, Vera herself has said that she is a Witch, the Sloth Witch.

Rosweisse felt a dryness in her throat, and a surge of intense Greed and Envy welled up within her.

On what grounds?

This incredibly lazy woman can wield power that only gods can control, while I, possessing divine blood and being a saintess of the Holy Church, haven't received such a blessing?

On what grounds?

A surge of intense Envy twisted Rosweisse's beautiful face, and she felt an overwhelming urge to kill the woman and seize her power.

If one could wield Divine Authority, killing Qin Chu would be an easy and trivial matter, wouldn't it?

I never expected to gain such a reward from this trip. I truly am the daughter of a god, a being favored by the divine.

Rosweisse quickly suppressed the Greed and Envy surging within her, controlling her emotions, and refrained from rashly attempting to seize it.

After all, this was a being who wielded Divine Authority. Even with Aili's help, she might not be a match for this woman. A gentle, innocent, and pure smile quickly spread across her face, "Divine Authority? What is that? Do you want me to pass it on to someone? Of course I can."

Although Rosweisse tried hard to control her impulse, her little hand involuntarily reached out. After all, the temptation brought by the Divine Authority was too great, and Rosweisse simply couldn't resist it.

"Give me that Divine Authority..."

The first chapter, 4,000 words, is here; another 4,000 words will be added tonight.

Chapter 487 Grasping the Tail of Fate

(4,000 characters)

Although Rosweisse was trying to restrain herself, she was beginning to lose control.

A burning sensation filled her chest.

The power of a god—she is the daughter of a god, and only the power of a god could be worthy of her noble bloodline and status, wouldn't it?

The woman before me is not worthy of wielding Divine Authority; she may simply be a tool arranged by the gods to bolster their own Divine Authority.

Once she mastered the power of the gods and was granted Divine Authority, Rosweisse was certain that her strength would increase dramatically in a short period of time. Not to mention becoming Demigod like she had when she fought Augustus, it wouldn't be impossible for her to become a true god.

When that time comes, a mere Hero, a mere Qin Chu state, can be crushed with a single finger.

Damn it, why hasn't Vera handed over the Divine Authority yet? Why won't she give it to me?

Even though Rosweisse was very good at disguising herself, at this moment she could not control the impulse that came from her soul. Her face had turned red, her breathing had become panting, and her chest was heaving rapidly.

However, Vera did not immediately reveal the Divine Authority.

For the first time, the Witch's face displayed an expression other than languidness; her beautiful eyes narrowed into slits, and she glanced at Rosweisse out of the corner of her eye.

Even just by looking at the expression on this woman's face, Vera already understood what Rosweisse was thinking.

Vera is just lazy, not stupid!

But it was clear that Vera didn't care.

"Miss..." Her voice held only a slight hint of seriousness. "You may not heed my words, but... you can help me transfer the Divine Authority to that person, but it's best not to try to covet what you don't deserve; that will only bring you disaster."

Rosweisse's lips moved slightly, her thoughts completely read. She gave a somewhat embarrassed smile, "Of course, I know."

You'd better really know.

Fate cannot be changed.

"Even if you really want to absorb the power within the Divine Authority yourself, the Divine Authority will eventually appear before that person. You do not have the ability to break free from the shackles of Fate."

So annoying.

Why are you talking so much nonsense?

Rosweisse's mood became extremely agitated. She didn't care about anything else; at this moment, all Rosweisse wanted was to grasp the Divine Authority in her own hands. "It's alright, I've remembered. Who do you want me to hand it over to?"

"I don't know." Vera shook her head.

Damn, what kind of answer is that?

You asked me to pass something on, but you don't even know who it's for? Then don't blame me for...

"You don't need to know who that person is. When I transferred the Divine Authority to you, the Destiny's Shackles had already bound you together. No matter what happens, you will meet, and no one can change that."

Rosweisse completely ignored Vera's words, which were rather cryptic.

Taking a deep breath, Vera's lips curved into a smile, and then she slowly opened her cherry lips. The next second, a light gray light gradually bloomed from Vera's mouth.

Her throat was throbbing violently.

The whole process didn't last long. A rhombus-shaped gray crystal was spat out of Vera's small mouth and finally landed in Vera's palm.

Glug!

Rosweisse couldn't help but swallow hard.

Is this the Divine Authority?

It's quite different from what Rosweisse had imagined.

Surprisingly simple, at first glance it seemed to be just a substance formed from some kind of mysterious energy. However, on this strange substance, Rosweisse could clearly feel a familiar aura. It was the same mysterious power she had felt from Vera before, the one that had eroded her will.

Rosweisse could feel the blood in her body boiling, and that strange feeling made Rosweisse even more certain that this was the Divine Authority.

Vera handed the Divine Authority to Rosweisse eagerly reached out to take it. The moment it touched her palm, the Divine Authority instantly and automatically disappeared into Rosweisse's body.

"Beautiful lady, remember your promise to me," Vera reminded her again.

Rosweisse's smile grew even brighter, "Of course, Miss Vera, please rest assured, I will definitely deliver it to that person."

Yes, that person was myself.

There is no one in this world more suited to the Divine Authority than oneself.

Miss Vera, you are such a kind person.

After transferring Divine Authority to Rosweisse, Vera felt completely relaxed. She stretched her arms vigorously, feeling much better than she had in a long time.

"Is there anything else you want to know?"

"Miss Vera seems to have lived in this mist for a long time. I wonder if she has ever seen Mermaid?" Rosweisse asked the last question that had been on her mind.

Revive Jello.

It was truly regrettable that we almost forgot about this goal because of the Divine Authority.

"Of course, there are Mermaid in this mist. I've encountered them a few times, but unfortunately, Mermaid 've never bared their fangs at me... You can try looking elsewhere; the monsters of the Endless Sea never appear where I'm floating," Vera said, shrugging.

Although the exact location of the Mermaid is unknown, the Mermaid' presence here is already quite good news.

"Very well, then, Miss Vera, I will now fulfill our agreement and kill you." Rosweisse's eyelids finally drooped, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

"Aili, let's do it!"

The petite girl behind her raised her arm, the sharp blade aimed directly at Vera's throat, as if it could mercilessly pierce through that slender neck in the next instant.

Just then, a strange smile appeared on Vera's face, "But suddenly, I don't want to die anymore..."

Her big eyes blinked repeatedly; after relinquishing the Sloth Authority, its influence on her didn't seem as strong as before.

Vera's smile grew wider and wider.

Hehe... Hahaha...

So that's how it is.

Vera's eerie laughter echoed across the sea.

She finally understood that she had finally broken free from the shackles that bound her.

Who would have thought it would be so simple?

Although she lost some things, she gained something more precious: true freedom.

Vera's strange behavior left Rosweisse bewildered; she couldn't understand what was wrong with this woman—had she gone mad?

Vera didn't answer Rosweisse's question. With a clear laugh, she lightly touched the bow of the boat with her toes and suddenly floated away, quickly disappearing into the thick fog.

Rosweisse frowned, wanting to stop Vera, but ultimately did not.

Vera is Witch... Even though she has transferred the Divine Authority to me, she still possesses considerable power. Rosweisse is not absolutely certain that she can kill this woman.

Otherwise, given Rosweisse's personality, she would never have allowed Vera to live.

Taking a deep breath, Rosweisse completely suppressed the thoughts in her mind, felt the mysterious power that had suddenly appeared in her body, and a sinister smile appeared on her face.

The Divine Authority is in our hands; all that remains is the Mermaid Heart.

Lord Jello, please wait a little longer; you will be resurrected soon.

On the other side.
