573 Making a Bet! (1/2)
Shi Xiaobai did not hesitate to speak as though everything was a matter of course. ”The identity of the Messiah is one of This King's lofty identities, so leave the saving of this world to This King.”
”I do not dislike such a baffling sense of confidence.”
Granny could not help but smile. ”However, this matter isn't something that can be resolved simply with confidence and willpower. Although Time and I are supreme existences who created the world, we are only second-rated existences when compared to Fate. Fate determined the birth and destruction of the world. Its powers lords over everything. Even if Time and I join forces, we would not be its match. This is why we are pinning our hopes on you.”
Shi Xiaobai pursed his lips slightly as his expression slowly turned serious. ”This King has no fear, but to be honest, This King's present strength is definitely insufficient to defeat this so-called Fate. This is something This King is well aware of; after all, This King had 99.9999% of his power sealed by the various evil gods and is a trillionth of a percent of its peak value.
”If the sealed is completely removed, that would be completely different. But with the present circumstances, the chances will definitely be zero. But since you and Time have gone to great effort to summon This King here, it's unlikely you did it with zero hope. Go ahead, what's your plan?”
Granny reined in her smile and sighed gently. ”As you said, even if you are an unexpected variable from another world, but with your present strength, not only Fate, even the Original Sin of Calamity will reduce you to ashes with a mere sneeze. In front of absolute power, indomitable willpower is nothing but a joke.
”But just as I previously said, as an existence that is beyond the script, you are the only hope that can save this world. To be honest with you, before we discovered your existence, Time and I had long given up hope. In front of the absolute power of Fate's script, we had no choice but to accept it no matter how indignant we felt about it. Only when you appeared did we see a sliver of hope in that silent darkness. You are the only hope, so we wish to… bet on you!”
”Bet on me?”
Shi Xiaobai wore a look of surprise.
”Yes, a bet on you!
Granny nodded heavily. Her emerald eyes suddenly emanated a resplendent glow. ”Defeating Fate isn't a victory of strength, because that is an absolute impossibility. Fate is not evil, nor is it an antagonist. It is only fulfilling its calling that it was born with. It takes on an unwavering position to steer the script which it is extremely confident of. In other words, defeating Fate requires the defeating of its position and the crumbling of its calling. In order words… you have to defeat Fate's script!”
Shi Xiaobai asked, ”How should Fate's script be defeated? Do things that will change the world lines? Then, wouldn't This King's existence be the biggest loophole in that script?”
Granny said, ”Your existence is indeed the biggest and only loophole in the script as designed by Fate. However, the loophole or changes in other minor details are not enough to make Fate's script crumble entirely. Only by destroying the script's main development at its highest climax would it really mean a crumbling of the script!”
Shi Xiaobai's eyes lit up slightly. ”So that's how it is. If the climax of any script's development is destroyed, that would mean the failure of the entire script. Is this the so-called defeat of Fate's script? This King understands. But here comes the question, what's the climax that needs This King to destroy?”
