Fate Square.
Half an hour before the Goddess of Fate officially announced the start of the Fate Supremacy War.
Most of the participants had already chosen their sides and, led by the goddesses of luck and misfortune, stood facing each other in a tense and tense atmosphere, as if preparing for a warm-up battle before the official start of the war.
Within the Fortune Faction, Lancelot stood with his arms crossed behind the Goddess of Fortune, next to the pure-blooded Titan, Thunder Prison Jia'erwen. Both of them were members of the Fortune Faction and were temporary allies.
Since Jia'erwen had already sensed Lancelot's identity as the Earth Guardian through the Titan bloodline within him, he didn't put on airs in front of Lancelot and treated the latter as an equal.
On the one hand, this is because both the Titan God Race and the Earth Guardian belong to the direct lineage of the Mother of the Stars / Earth Mother Goddess, and the relationship between the two is inherently close.
On the other hand, it is because of the sheer power of the Earth Guardian themselves. As allies, the Titans understand the terror of the Earth Guardian better than other factions.
Standing beside Lancelot, Thunder Prison Yu Jia'erwen took the initiative to speak, introducing him to the powerful figures that the two opposing factions needed to be wary of, the so-called ' Invincible Demigod ', in short, the group of powerful figures standing at the pinnacle of Demigod.
"I won't go into detail about the powerful beings in the Divine Realm, as you're already familiar with them. I'll mainly introduce you to the Invincible Demigod of other major powers."
As he spoke, Thunder Prison Yu Jia'erwen began to introduce Lancelot using his eyes.
Although Lancelot had already gathered basic information about their powerful adversary through various channels, he didn't refuse Jia'erwen's offer and listened attentively.
The Titan God Race are one of the Great God, with extensive connections and resources; they might possess some inside information.
Indeed, this was the case. Although in general, Thunder Prison Yu Jia'erwen and Lancelot had roughly the same amount of information, there were still some differences in the details.
Don't underestimate these subtle differences; the higher the level of competition, the more attention is paid to details.
Meanwhile, as Gustavo led his people to the side, Jia'erwen and Lancelot whispered among themselves, Logo stood on the side of Misfortune Faction, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly resting.
That's right, Logo chose the Misfortune Faction instead of the Fortune Faction.
Logo made this choice after much deliberation and careful consideration.
The reasons are as follows.
First, avoid total annihilation.
Nothing can be 100% certain, let alone a Astral Realm event like the Fate Supremacy War, where 330,000 of the absolute elites among Peak Demigod compete for life and death in one arena. There are simply too many variables.
If all three of them, including Logo, join the Fortune Faction, and that Fortune Faction fails, the consequences would be dire.
The losing camp in the Fate Supremacy War will be executed by the Goddess of Fate herself, which is a direct "erasure" from the level of cause Fate, a conceptual annihilation.
Abilities such as rebirth from a drop of blood and the ability to multiply into millions will all be rendered useless under such immense power.
Unless it's a special case like Logo, Lancelot, Gustavo, who only share memories but have no causal connection and whose soul fluctuations are completely different, it's possible to avoid being implicated.
Strictly speaking, the three of them are now three completely new individuals.
If one is eliminated, the other two will not be affected. In this way, the living still have a chance to find a way to resurrect the dead.
Although every Fate Supremacy War releases an extremely rare "immunity item" that can allow a very small number of losers to avoid death, Logo will not place his hopes on such an uncertain thing.
His conduct has always been characterized by a cautious and meticulous approach, yet he has always acted with courage and diligence.
We must leave room for error and hedge against risks.
This is the first reason why Logo joined the Misfortune Faction.
The second reason is the high-dimensional information space left behind by the Aslant Civilization.
As a high-level Astral Realm civilization possessing the Eye of Insight of Miracle Creation, the Aslant Civilization's technology in information engineering far surpasses that of other civilizations of the same level.
The Higher-Dimensional Information Space built by the Aslant Civilization, in terms of information structure strength, Concealment, and other aspects of performance, is comparable to the technological level of a peak Astral Realm, enough to block the spying of the Supreme God.
In this situation, once Logo transforms his soul into an information state and transmits it to Higher-Dimensional Information Space, there is a certain probability that he can circumvent the concept of obliteration by the Goddess of Fate.
In this way, even if the Misfortune Faction loses and Logo doesn't receive an immunity item, he still has a chance to survive.
Leaving aside whether Higher-Dimensional Information Space can resist the power of this supreme ancient god, if the Goddess of Fate senses that there is a power comparable to that of Supreme God blocking her way, would she give her face and stop?
In the Astral Realm, human relationships and social interactions are also very important. Would the Goddess of Fate really clash with another Supreme God for the sake of a mere nobody who doesn't even reach the level of True God?
If they truly didn't care about those important figures in the Astral Realm, why would there be an exemption item in the Fate Supremacy War? It's all to give the descendants valued by some important figures a chance to survive.
A simple immunity item can earn you a favor from a big shot—this is an incredibly lucrative deal!
Anyway, after some deduction, Logo felt that even if the Misfortune Faction ultimately lost, he would most likely only lose a bloodline clone, and his main body should be able to escape through the high-dimensional information space.
But Gustavo and Lancelot clearly lack this ability.
They also lack direct support from Supreme God.
Neither the Treacherous Destruction Spider Mother nor the Earth Mother Goddess would easily plead with the Goddess of Fate for a mere ant; the cost and the reward would be disproportionate.
Moreover, these two important figures don't even know Gustavo and his companion. Without any emotional connection, why would they make any sacrifices?
Finally, there is the third and final reason why Logo joined the Misfortune Faction — Logo had the lowest difficulty in breaking through to the True God Rank.
In other words, he doesn't really need to gain any advantage from the Fate Supremacy War in order to advance to the level of True God.
The reason is simple: for Logo, who possesses the Eye of Insight and has embarked on the path of a professional alchemist, the difficulty in breaking through to the True God realm has never been the level itself, but rather how to face the backlash from the further awakened Miracle Creation after the breakthrough!
Currently, Logo can only barely maintain his Eye of Insight so that he hasn't had all his humanity formatted and hasn't lost his various human emotions.
If the Miracle Creation were to improve significantly again, Logo estimated that the probability of him being able to withstand it was no more than 5%.
Even if he could withstand it, most of his human emotions would be lost, and he would become extremely indifferent. At that point, he would no longer be himself.
Therefore, for Logo, it is necessary to let Gustavo break through first, and then he himself will choose to advance after maximizing his Hall of Wisdom by devouring God Level Mind Beast and solidifying his emotional anchor.
In short, Gustavo's breakthrough to the True God Rank was a prerequisite for Logo's godhood.
In fact, to some extent, the former can be seen as part of the latter's "Proof of Godhood".
Furthermore, Lancelot's ascension to godhood greatly helped Logo strengthen his emotional anchor.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to prioritize his breakthroughs last.
After all, if he wanted to, Logo could specialize in a branch of alchemy and, at the latest within a year, allow the Fire of Birth to evolve again, enabling his life form to achieve divine sublimation!
All these reasons led Logo, after careful consideration, to choose to join the Misfortune Faction as a spy to help the Fortune Faction achieve victory.
It's definitely not because Logo likes this kind of backstabbing behavior; that's Gustavo's hobby.
In fact, there are quite a few spies like Logo in both camps; they are basically all "suicide squads," and there are even Invincible Demigod among them.
Their mission is singular: to help their true allies achieve victory at all costs. If the mission fails, even if they ultimately survive, they will surely die.
In the power struggle between two Main God- like status, mere Demigod, no matter how powerful, are nothing more than pawns that can be sacrificed at any time, with no right to choose.
The only way for a suicide spy to survive is to help their true allies win while also seizing one of the very few immunity items. This way, they can avoid death and complete their mission.
However, this is destined to be an extremely competitive path, with an absurdly low survival rate.
Time slowly passed as the two sides confronted each other. Finally, as the Goddess of Fate announced the official start of the Fate Supremacy War in the temple, every square white crystal brick in the Fate Square immediately shone with its dazzling light.
These rays of light shot into the minds of every participant like shooting stars, coalescing into eye-shaped patterns, followed by a flood of information related to the Fate Supremacy War.
Information such as [Fate Shop], [Fate Gold Coin], [Mission Level], [Final Mission], [Fate Battle Rules], and [Leaderboard Rewards] flooded the minds of the participants.
At the same time, the interdimensional teleportation channel of Fate Square opened, and the dazzling light became even more dazzling, eventually transforming into a thick aurora that pierced through the dark Void, penetrated Endless dimensions, crossed the Core Zone, Inner Zone, and Outer Zone of the Astral Realm, and finally entered the interior of a huge plane located at the junction of the Assimilation Zone and the Expansion Zone.
A bizarre and fantastical scene flashed before Logo's eyes. A vast landmass stretching across the boundless space gradually filled his vision, but it was only for a moment, gone in an instant, and his consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.
"Is this the world where the Fate Supremacy War takes place?"
As the last thought flashed through his mind, Logo seemed to hear a cold, low laugh, "Welcome to... the Star God Realm."
Continent of Stars.
Maple Leaf Province.
Fallen Leaf County.
The river, several tens of meters wide, flows past the foot of the mountain. The mountains, neither too high nor too low, are not covered with lush forests or dense vegetation. Most of the mountains are covered with dark rocks, so much so that even birds and beasts are few and far between.
High in the mountains, there was a small manor with its wooden gate tightly closed, creaking in the cold wind.
The manor's courtyard was filled with fallen leaves, just like the name of the county it was located in. In the center of the courtyard, the three-story marble building stood alone, its walls, which had never been white, looked particularly mottled from years of wind and sun.
"Master, master, wake up, wake up! Don't scare me, master..."
From a room on the second floor of the stone building, came an old and sorrowful cry; however, the only response to the cry was the equally mournful barking of a dog.
The old man's voice grew more urgent, his sorrow more profound, as did the dog's barking.
It seemed that heaven saw the sincerity of the old man and the loyal dog, and Miracle finally happened.
Whose dog is this?
'It's so noisy!'
In a daze, Logo temporarily lost his mind, unusually reverting to the laziness of his youth. His morning grumpiness, which had been building up in the noisy atmosphere, finally exploded.
"Stop arguing!"
The expected powerful voice did not appear. What was clearly a roar of anger turned into a low groan after leaving the throat, giving the impression that the person was barely breathing and about to die.
At this moment, Logo suddenly came to his senses and clearly felt the abnormality in his body.
My limbs felt numb and weak all over; my body felt like a rotten piece of wood that had lost all its vitality. It felt like a mountain was pressing down on my chest, and even my skin felt frozen. I tried to open my eyes several times, but I couldn't.
Something's not right!
Something's not right!
Although Logo's primary profession is alchemist, he has already created dozens of avatars. Not to mention the other avatars, the level of combat skills of his Bloodline Avatar alone has reached the pinnacle of the Demigod level.
With his control over his body, even if there were two mountains hanging on his eyelids, he could easily lift them up without affecting his ability to open his eyes.
"This situation... could it be that I've been given a different body?!"
Logo was startled and immediately activated his extremely weak perception to vaguely probe his body.
Logo's current physical condition was accurately reflected in his mental world, wherever he went.
Muscle atrophy, blood stagnation, fragile bones, organ dysfunction... It's not just a serious illness, it's practically a matter of life and death!
"This gave me the body of an old man?"
Logo finally realized what was happening, and after a moment of mental concentration, he reluctantly accepted reality.
Fortunately, the groans had startled the weeping old man beside him, who immediately stopped crying and looked at Logo on the bed with a look of surprise, saying, "Master, you're awake?"
Logo remained silent, only managing to open his mouth with all his might, but his lips barely moved; it was impossible to notice without careful observation.
Fortunately, the old man beside him was quick-witted enough. He seemed to be very familiar with the original owner of the body and immediately realized Logo's intention. He quickly brought over the prepared warm honey water and fed it to Logo's extremely dry lips with a spoon.
Like cracked earth being nourished by rain, and with spoonfuls of honey water going down his throat, Logo finally felt a bit alive again.
Seeing this, the old man beside him burst into tears of joy. While feeding Logo, he murmured to himself, " With the World King's mercy and the Star God's blessing, Master can finally eat..."
Although the words were faint, they reached Logo's ears perfectly, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "What a loyal and honest servant..."
