Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 807 - 416: Omen of Turmoil, Twilight of the Empire

"Prophet, huh."Olivia watched as Louis’s expression gradually grew complex.

To her, "prophet" was not a favorable term.

She could even say, prophecy felt more like a curse to her.

She hadn’t forgotten that her uncle had left her mother because of a prophecy.

Hero Max, the only unofficially recognized hero, had become a hero acknowledged by all the nations.

Heh, sounds great, doesn’t it? But he’s dead, isn’t he?

So when she heard Louis say this, she instinctively felt unease.

Seeing Olivia’s discomfort, Louis let down her tied-up hair, brushed against her face, and said:

"Don’t worry, I’m not a prophet; such signs appearing to me might not be because of a prophecy."

He spoke softly, reminding her, "It could also be a top-tier strong presence consciously guiding me."

"With your current strength, what kind of strong presence could still influence you?"

"There are some." Louis said calmly, "In the Star Continent, there’s indeed no one who can influence me, but outside of this world, such beings still exist."

"For example?"

"For example, the God of Glory and Justice."

Louis’s tone carried a hint of mystery.

"What’s their connection? Aren’t they waging endless wars with the Demon Lords in the bottomless abyss, making blood flow like rivers?"

Olivia was curious.

She somehow felt that Louis had encountered something interesting but wasn’t telling her.

Louis then told her about a battle with the Cosmic Serpent where it attacked his Ocean of Souls, intending to drag him down with it, only to be suddenly destroyed by the God of Glory and Justice’s power.

Upon hearing this, Olivia’s mouth fell slightly open.

"Are you joking?"

"Looking at me, does it seem like I’m joking?"

"It does."

"It’s true, Alice saw it happen as well."

"Alice?"

Louis instinctively closed his mouth.

Uh-oh.

He almost forgot that Alice’s trip to the battlefield was not widely known.

Even the folks at Lokeshi Imperial Capital still thought she was there the whole time.

"With her kind of strength, why would she involve herself in such a battle?"

The little swan’s voice slightly raised.

Alice was indeed strong, but she was still too young.

If discussing talent alone, excluding the cheat squad, Alice was one of the strongest among today’s youth.

But time waits for no one.

Louis needed to personally participate in battles at a demigod level at the very least.

In the realm of demigods, even legends couldn’t interfere.

Even if Alice’s strength had improved compared to the last world line, it was still far from enough.

How could she directly participate in such a battle?

Thinking about this, Olivia gave her a curious look and said:

"You didn’t use ’Noble Desire’ to boost her strength after being with her, then made her participate in the battle, did you?"

Louis shook his head without hesitation, saying, "That’s impossible, nothing happened between us when she fought. She has that strength because she became the Goddess of Death and Magic’s chosen."

— As for the confusing mess between them, that’s a matter for later.

"Oh, I see." Olivia nodded, suddenly switching the topic, "And nothing happened afterwards?"

"The God of Glory and Justice appeared in my Ocean of Souls at the time, preventing the Goddess of Death and Magic from assaulting the serpent, and personally slain the foe." Louis shook his head, saying, "I’m pondering whether this omen was orchestrated by the Master of Glory, and, if so, what exactly do they want me to do?"

Louis skillfully diverted the subject.

"Maybe they’re trying to inquire about the Hero’s Sword?"

Olivia considered and said.

She already had a vague guess about what Louis had done.

But she wisely avoided asking directly.

Knowing Louis, if he naturally accomplished something, he wouldn’t hide it from her.

After all, she knows all about his past relationships, no one knows Louis’s scandalous history like she does.

— Some of which she even made herself.

So it must be something unexpected and awkward that led to an uncontrollable situation.

Olivia was ready to relent.

Given the current situation, if she wasn’t there, the Ense Royal Family would fall apart.

If it was just an accident, she wouldn’t mind.

Well, maybe she cares a little.

But she’s used to it.

Since Louis... has grown increasingly unpredictable.

It’s truly becoming overwhelming for her.

Wait a second...

Olivia hesitated for a moment.

Though likely an accident, is it possible, just possible, that Louis is embarrassed to say because that person is her best friend?

She looked at Louis with suspicion.

Louis coughed nervously and said:

"After the Master of Glory killed that serpent, my body had a bit of an issue."

"Oh..."

Olivia elongated the sound, but after a moment, she asked, "No lingering injuries, right?"

Louis shook his head, suddenly recalling something and said:

"Rather than that, shouldn’t you be more concerned about my omen?"

"Concerned about what? Without being onsite, no one knows what truly happened. Even if you suspect it’s related to the Master of Glory, if you go there and discover it’s not, you’ll just have to rethink from scratch and adapt accordingly."

"You’ll accompany me, right?"

"Yes."

So it’s not a lack of concern, but rather being ever-present with me, right.
