Chapter 405 - 405 88 Fate_2

405: Chapter 88 Fate_2 405: Chapter 88 Fate_2 “The Yong Guang Empire is brimming with talent, and there are no shortage of Calamity Mages with real strength.

He couldn’t access a true academy, but even the school he attended wasn’t lacking in students from families with backgrounds.

He had ability and talent; as long as he kept his feet on the ground and his heart filled with goodwill, not rushing for quick success, he would inevitably find his own opportunities and development.”

King of Destiny shook his head, “Yet Shiyu Genmi colluded with scoundrels!”

The scroll’s imagery shifted again, leaping to the end of Genmi’s revenge.

“He took revenge on the family members who caused him pain, which was the retribution the Shiyu family deserved, but what after that?” King of Destiny propped up his cheek, “He embarked on the Shiyu Project!”

The next scene showed Shiyu Genmi preparing for experiments in the laboratory, with papers he held in his hand—papers that were Shiyu Lianyi’s materials.

“He had completely gone down the path of evil, but fate still gave him opportunities.

If there was even a shred of conscience left in him, he should have come to his senses when he saw his own flesh and blood chosen as experimental subjects,” King of Destiny tapped the table repeatedly, “As for what choice Shiyu Genmi ultimately made, you both know all too well.”

Gongsun Ce and Shiyu Lianyi silently watched as the scene flipped to the night when Shiyu Genmi cried out in anguish from the curse.

“Why?!

When I was in such agony, not once did any god come to save me.

Yet now, you talk to me of karma and retribution?!”

Those words sounded so empathetic at first.

But now, they couldn’t muster a shred of sympathy.

King of Destiny flicked his brush, erasing that scene.

He stood up from the desk and threw down the brush.

“What I despise the most are the likes of Shiyu Genmi, rife with misdeeds!

They have only themselves to blame for their demise, yet at death’s door, they place all the blame on fate, without ever considering how many chances fate had given them!”

He turned to look at the two, his pupils shimmering with gold and grey.

“Now, what do you think?”

Gongsun Ce quietly pondered for a while.

He was gradually understanding King of Destiny’s thoughts.

Fate is not a set script, but a unknown filled with variables.

His world offers opportunities to everyone, but only with resolute will or a benevolent heart can one seize them; otherwise, it’s easy to fall into the abyss.

Yet, those who grow up in suffering rarely possess a whole spirit.

To demand that all people adhere to a general standard would also be unreasonable…

This was the unfair aspect of fate, as he said.

Gongsun Ce found it difficult to pass a definitive judgment on this grand mechanism, as a person’s view of the world would always be subjective.

The only firm opinions he held were about the enemies he had vanquished.

After all, man can only judge man.

“Shiyu Genmi deserved his punishment,” the Superpower User candidly said, “But your fate is also not reasonable, based on the same standard, other high-level individuals from Zero Island should also be cursed, and Zero Island’s abysmal environment is what needs change the most.”

“What do you think the Red Mage is for?” King of Destiny said coldly.

Shiyu Lianyi realized something, “Is it…

the Red Mage represents this nation’s retribution?”

“It’s the vortex of malice from Zero Island that catalyzed the birth of the Red Mage.

Zero Island’s sins have already accumulated enough, this nation should have been annihilated long ago.

For a monster born from Zero Island to destroy Zero Island, it’s the perfect karmic retribution!”

Gongsun Ce could hardly believe what he was hearing.

“What about the many civilians?!

Even if it’s deserved that the higher-ups are devoured by the Red Mage, what about the ordinary people consumed by Fallen Heaven?!”

“The eternal bliss within Fallen Heaven, compared to the endless agony in this sinful nation, which is truly more fortunate?” King of Destiny countered.

The youth’s words contained not a hint of falsehood; he truly believed that being consumed by Fallen Heaven and living a muddled life in that sea of blood was the better option.

It was then that Gongsun Ce finally recognized that the King before him had no concept of good and evil as ordinary people do.

What he considered good could be a disaster to the common person, and only what he deemed bad was an equal end for everyone.

The Superpower User waved his hands repeatedly, “This is everyone reaping their own evil.”

“You don’t like my Huojin Realm, just as I dislike your opportunistic ways,” King of Destiny retorted, “Take your reward, you may go now.”

The youth with golden hair and grey clothes tossed him a die and a piece of blank paper; Gongsun Ce drifted involuntarily toward the door.

He gripped the threshold firmly, shouting with unyielding determination, “Wait a moment, I still have a question, I want to know who Shiyu Genmi’s collaborator was!”

“Your questions are used up.”

“Just this one!”

“I will not answer.”

Gongsun Ce thought that King of Destiny really didn’t like him, so he decided to make a small joke.

“Then, let’s change it to something trivial,” Gongsun Ce winked and teased, “Did Lord Yidou Nengmai really marry you?”

Yidou Nengmai laughed out, King of Destiny’s gaze grew even colder towards him, that look made the Superpower User feel refreshingly clear-headed.

The King waved his hand, and the Superpower User reluctantly departed, returning to the real world.

…

Shiyu Lianyi sat in front of the wooden table with an embarrassed look, holding a teacup.

He defended his friend, “Please don’t blame him.

Gongsun is not a bad person, it’s just that he can be a bit…

inappropriate.”

“I don’t like your friend, always trying to exploit fate’s loopholes.

It was the same during the Gathering of Wishes, and again in the recent battle,” King of Destiny said with disapproval, “Your questions are also used up, I will no longer divulge any information that could be of substantial help to you.”

Shiyu Lianyi pondered.

According to King of Destiny’s words, even in Shiyu Genmi’s past there was information that could aid them…
