Chapter 40: Let’s Go! (5)

A while ago, right after Chi-Woo passed the test for the seventh recruitment and entered the portal

—First, I request a change in the composition of the number of suitable persons that were selected earlier

“What?”

—Second, I request a change in the transoal for this mission

Raphael’s shtly distorted Change of prophecy wasn’t a common occurrence at all It was the first ti like this, in fact

ed…’</eed, or to be ed It should be obvious that it was ale a destined future And yet someone had accomplished just that—it was the new variable and recruitment participant, Choi Chi-Woo

“…Explain everything in order” Raphael looked down at the dazzling orb with an uncharacteristically expressionless face Her voice was also much lower as she asked for more information “First of all, why did you reject the examination, and as your function terminated at his touch?”

—It’s because Princess Sahee’s nature andends

One of Raphael’s eyebrows slid up The orb wasn’t created in the Celestial Real in opposition to the Celestial Realed in an inescapable war for centuries, and in the process, they repeatedly stole each other’s valuables One such loot was the prophecy orb, which used to be a treasure fro the Celestial Realy, but the Celestial Realnized its prophetic values and kept it

“I don’t get it What does that have to do with your origins?”

—The person who changed the prophecy was born in the year, er

“So? Are you saying that he is so? The sword that is the best weapon for defeating evil spirits?”

—Not a living embodiment, but his nature is certainly siy he has is enough to dah a purifying process?”

—If you think his energy is ‘little’, you are greatly mistaken

“Greatly ed his fate

Raphael couldn’t fatho that there was someone who could read and prepare for a distant future so far away that the orb itself didn’t dare touch it? She could only think of one existence that could carry out such an unbelievable feat

—The one who rules over spirits, controls death and presides over the underworld: the sha across the room

—I was born out of darkness, and I died twice and was reborn again

The situation had been iven destiny and the God who arranged it was a natural bane to the prophecy It wasn’t at the level where they would sabotage one another, but they did stand at opposite ends One force could diminish the other’s existence with a simple touch Raphael nodded She had finally understood the situation

“I see Princess Sahee…” sheelse e the fact that he had lived an ordinary life”

—That is true

“And yet his participation is enough to change the prophecy? When it has never been changed before?”

—You are uess that the destiny placed onto ift for the future

The orb began to address Chi-Woo e because of that one’s singular existence

In other words, the orb was distinguishi+ng Chi-Woo’s existence fro it had said so far

“It’s because of his existence…” Raphael was vaguely aware of Chi-Woo’s background, such as the reason why he hadn’t been able to step into the Celestial Real It was simple; there were those who didn’t want it to happen; and neither the highest beings in the Celestial Realnore their requests However, she only knew the story on a surface level and wasn’t privy to the details

‘Why?’ Truthfully, she was curious She wanted to knohy sos had tried so hard to cover Chi-Woo and hide hiure it out at all…’ She wondered if the secret around hie in the prophecy If only she could grasp onto an inkling of a clue, she would be able to understand the situation better Thus, she had to ask the orb soain

“Have you been paying attention to the composition of the seventh recruits?” Raphael asked suddenly

Laguel furrowed her brows

“Don’t focus on the fact that it has been changed What did you notice in particular before and after the change?”

Laguel closed her eyes; she hadn’t noticed much because her mind had been too occupied by Chi-Woo

“One plus one,” Raphael answered for her, and realization dawned on Laguel after a moment of visible puzzlement Generally, there would only be one hero at a ti their worth, they alone would ascend to the Celestial Realed from the same world, they were usually from different eras In other words, it was very rare for a hero to meet someone from their world

Rare, but not never Sometimes there would be exceptions The reasons behind these occurrences were many, but nevertheless, there were heroes who had entered the Celestial Real additional approval for them

“Such heroes aren’t as rare as the twelve families, but still very few and far between It happens as frequently as a co into an accident in the middle of the streets,” Raphael said with a sroup of people uel looked surprised

“Do you think thather chin on her hand “And it’s only for the seventh recruitment The orb didn’t even specifically request ave me their names”
