Chapter 672: Chapter 484: Grabbing the Tail of Fate (4000 words)

Although Rose Vesper was enduring, she had already become somewhat restless.

A burning passion filled her chest.

The power of God, she was the daughter of a deity, and only the divine strength was worthy of her noble lineage and status, wasn’t it?

This woman before her was not at all worthy of wielding the Divine Authority; perhaps she was merely a tool arranged by divinity specifically for Rose Vesper’s use in claiming the Divine Authority.

Once she gained the strength of divinity along with the Divine Authority, Rose Vesper was convinced that her power would surge tremendously in a short period. Not only would she surpass her half-god form when she had fought against Augustus, but becoming a true god was also within the realm of possibility.

When that time came, mere Heroes, mere Qin Chu, she could crush with a single finger.

Damn it, why hasn’t Vera produced the Divine Authority yet? Why hasn’t she given it to me?

Even though Rose Vesper was skilled at deception, at this moment she couldn’t control the impulses arising from her soul; her face had turned beet red, her breathing turned to gasps, and her chest heaved rapidly.

But Vera didn’t immediately bring out the Divine Authority.

For the first time, an expression other than indolence appeared on the Witch’s face; her beautiful eyes narrowed into slits, and the corners of her eyes glanced at Rose Vesper.

Even by merely glimpsing the expression on that woman’s face, Vera had already understood what Rose Vesper was truly contemplating.

Vera was lazy, but she wasn’t dumb!

And clearly, she wasn’t concerned.

"Miss," her voice carried only a slight increase in seriousness, "you may not heed my words, but... you may help me in transferring the Divine Authority to that person. It would be in your best interest not to covet what does not belong to you, as it would only bring disaster upon you."

Rose Vesper’s lips twitched, feeling somewhat embarrassed to have her thoughts read; she laughed awkwardly, "Of, of course, I know that."

"You had better truly understand," Vera admonished.

"Fate cannot be changed,"

"Even if you truly wish to absorb the power within the Divine Authority, it will eventually appear before that person; you lack the strength to break free from the chains of fate."

So annoying.

Why do you talk so much nonsense?

Rose Vesper grew increasingly irritated; she didn’t care about such things. At that moment, all she wanted was to have the Divine Authority in her own hands: "No worries, I remember. Whom would you like me to transfer it to?"

"I do not know," Vera shook her head.

Damn it, what kind of answer is that?

You expect me to transfer something, yet you don’t know to whom? Then don’t blame me if I...

"You need not know who that person is. The moment I transfer the Divine Authority to you, the shackles of destiny will have already bound you together. No matter what happens, you will meet, and no one can change that."

Blabbering about gods... Rose Vesper didn’t take Vera’s words seriously at all.

After taking a deep breath, Vera’s lips curved into a sly smile, then she slowly opened her cherry lips, and in the next second, a faint gray light began to glow from within Vera’s mouth.

Her throat was moving violently.

The process didn’t last very long; a diamond-shaped gray crystal was expelled from Vera’s small mouth and ultimately landed in the palm of her hand.

Gulp!

Rose Vesper couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.

So this is the Divine Authority?

It was quite different from what Rose Vesper had imagined.

Surprisingly plain, it seemed at first glance to be just some kind of mysterious energy materialized into matter. Yet, upon this strange substance, Rose Vesper could clearly sense a familiar aura. It was the same enigmatic force that she had felt emanating from Vera, the one that eroded her will.

Rose Vesper felt as if the blood in her veins were already boiling; this bizarre sensation made her even more certain that this was indeed the Divine Authority.

Vera presented the Divine Authority to Rose Vesper, who, eager and impatient, extended her hand to receive it. The moment it touched her palm, the Divine Authority abruptly melded into Rose Vesper’s body.

"Beautiful miss, remember your promise," Vera reminded her.

With a now radiant smile, Rose Vesper replied, "Of course, Miss Vela, rest assured, I will ensure it reaches that person’s hands."

Indeed, that person was herself.

There was no one in the world more suited for the Divine Authority than herself.

Oh, Miss Vela, you truly are a good person.

After transferring the Divine Authority to Rose Vesper, Vela felt a weight lifted off her entire being. She stretched her arms vigorously, relishing a comfort she hadn’t felt in so long.

"Is there anything else you wish to know?"

"Miss Vela, it seems you’ve lived in this fog for quite some time; have you ever seen a Mermaid?" Rose Vesper asked her final question.

To resurrect Jie Luo.

She had nearly forgotten this goal because of the Divine Authority, which was utterly unacceptable.

"Of course, there are Mermaids in this fog; I’ve encountered them a few times. Unfortunately, those Mermaids have never shown their fangs to me... You may try to look elsewhere. The creatures of the Endless Sea never make their way to where I drift," Vela explained, spreading her hands.
