The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 997 - 89: Transaction with the Fate Goddess (8k)

Writing in the past to preemptively change the circumstances of the future?

[Fate] truly is the most powerful Authority among all the Realms, possessing an advanced mechanism to directly repair and alter the World’s underlying code.

Luo En muttered to himself, lowering his futile arm and walking forward with a smile, offering goodwill:

"Don’t be nervous, the three of you, I have no ill intent."

"Then what do you want to do?" Urd asked.

"Fulfill a wager to retrieve the Reward I am entitled to."

Luo En turned to look at the Present Fate Goddess Belldandy, as well as the golden flame-like brand on her forehead, a glint of relief flashing in his eyes.

As an interloper from afar, he was without roots in the Nordic World, a shadow dweller who could effectively evade The Three Fates’ jurisdiction, but by the same token, lost the privilege to grasp the underlying code of the Nordic World.

Especially after rejecting the sugar-coated bullet sent by [The Ever-Present Law] Orlog, he seemed doomed to be excluded from the Nordic World’s destiny Chapters.

However, unexpectedly,

The [Chance] Divine Authority innate to him still played its role over the lengthy eons.

——Law of Accident.

Luo En murmured in his heart, with a pleasing curve on his lips.

The great paths are fifty, Heaven evolves forty-nine, reserving one for escape.

The Fate of everything is not absolutely immutable, and he is that one bit of [Accident] and [Chance]. freewebnøvel.com

Therefore, due to [Accident], Scouty, who was originally supposed to be the executor of [Ragnarök], fled, blurring the once-certain Future;

Because of [Accident], Urd and Belldandy had to continue writing [Great Chorale] by deduction, thus binding the [Fate] of the Nordic World tightly alongside him, the [Chance];

Because of [Accident], Celebrian, Xili, the old Wizard Gandalf, and other [Variables] beyond Fate’s control were born, chaos ensued, increasingly deviating from the predetermined trajectory. Urd and Belldandy had no choice but to leave the Immortal Palace to arrive at Heather Island, hoping to track down their sister Scouty and bring her back to her post, to eliminate the elements of chaos;

Because of [Accident], the runaway bride Celebrian woke him from his slumber and encountered another product of accident—Xili. Together, they brought him to Heather Island, where they met Urd, the Fate Goddess working as a bartender in the Tavern;

Because of [Accident], Urd got along well with him and proposed a wager, with his spur-of-the-moment [Law of Accident] as the Reward.

And lastly, this Law of Accident has come to manifest upon the Present Fate Goddess—Belldandy.

Only by grasping the present can you stand firm in the past, gaze toward the Future, and rule over [Fate], rather than being ruled by [Fate].

After such a long wait, the time to reap has finally arrived.

The Norn Three Goddesses who control Fate in the Nordic World have become increasingly entangled with him under the dual influence of the [Law of Accident] and [Fate], no longer able to evade his pursuit.

Luo En was keen to know, if he, the foreign Greek Divine King, received the boon of Nordic Heavenly Destiny, whether he could surpass Divine King Odin, Midgard Goddess Heluo, Death Goddess Hela, Warner Goddess Freya, Elf Goddess Rose, and all the World-line choices within the Nine Great Kingdoms of the Nordic World, to craft the perfect ending he envisioned.

However, the Norn Three Goddesses, who govern the Fate of all things, naturally were not willing to become mere tools for an outsider to achieve their goals.

"You want to marry my second sister? Dream on!"

An irate Scouty was the first to jump out, assuming a fierce posture.

By contrast, Urd, as the eldest, was much more calm and mature, saying gravely:

"That wager was just an [Accident], mortals are not qualified to control [Fate]. Name your condition; aside from Belldandy, we can help you achieve whichever Goddess you wish to marry."

Luo En shook his head, unmoved.

Urd frowned and said:

"We can help you become a king, let you surpass Odin, and become the ruler of the Nine Realms!"

Luo En continued to shake his head.

"Gold and silver mountains are yours to take!"

"Authority and Magic are yours to command!"

Luo En still shook his head.

Seeing that he was impervious to their offers, Urd became anxious:

"You don’t want this, you don’t want that, what do you really want? Don’t tell me you have an exclusive affection for Belldandy, that kind of lie might deceive Scouty but not me!"

Luo En took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the answer.

"I wish to preserve as many lives as possible in [Ragnarök]."

Upon hearing this, the Norn Three Goddesses exchanged glances.

"Is this your... demand?"

"Correct, that’s why I need your help."

Luo En answered earnestly, his face open and honest,

"If you don’t believe me, I can swear upon Fate, you can verify whether I’m telling the truth or a lie."

As he spoke again, his voice was without the slightest hesitation, without any tremble.

This was undoubtedly a response from the heart.

The Norn Three Goddesses were unusually silent, skepticism painting their faces.

Facing [Fate]’s verdict,

The lives of the Nine Realms bowed their heads, willing to embrace Betrayal and Lies just to sever all triggers threatening themselves, monopolizing that ferry to the Future;

An outsider deceiver crossing the sea, forsaking readily available blessings, carrying the hopes of many, sincerely prays to [Fate], wishing only to preserve more [Life] in a World doomed to Destruction.

Why would it be so?

Gazing at the face before them, the Norn Three Goddesses felt baffled in their hearts.
