The lines on Tara's hand were struggling desperately, but no matter how they trembled, they could not escape the woman's clenched fist.

"I caught you." Tara's tone was very cold, "You look like you can't attack, otherwise you would have attacked us long ago, right?"

The runes on the rivets were specially prepared to target the [Miracle Stone Statue]. With complete preparations, Tara specially arranged a spell that could lock [Destiny]. This was the first time Tara had seen this kind of magic out of thin air.

Dark lines appeared, but the moment she held it, she knew what it was.

It was true that she was touching [Destiny] itself with her hands. Perhaps it was the large amount of star power previously drawn from the [Astrology Book] that allowed her to see this miraculous scene.

【You...have finally touched the edge of fate.】

This is...a groaning sound coming from a distant place...

The sound directly reached Tara's ears, making her frown slightly. In Tara's eyes, the line continued to extend until it gradually stopped at the center of the broken stone statue. Starting from a point, it looked like a ball of yarn.

The same random and complicated black lines gradually expanded, and finally turned into a small sphere! This thread of fate is breathing rhythmically. It is obviously a conceptual thing, why does it have its own consciousness, even similar to a soul?

something?

It seems that this is the true body of the [Miracle Stone Statue]... Wait, is this...

Tara gasped in disbelief. She had never seen such a situation before, and the light in her eyes was even more aggressive. The unknown is always the most terrifying. Since it threatens humans, as the chief warlock of Yaris, she

It must be cleared!

"I don't know what you are, but as the enforcer of justice, I will eliminate you." Tara's other hand burned with fireworks as bright as stars, and she pressed hard on the thread of fate in her hand.

superior.

But it was of no use. This bunch of flames passed through the lines that seemed to be illusory and real, and slid to Tara's feet with a snap, bursting into a large ball of blazing fire. The temperature of the flames was so high that it even burned the skin under her feet.

The ground was stained with light blue lava.

【You are very powerful, and we believe you will be able to think of ways to hurt me.】

"So, who are you and what do you want to do? Where did you take the people in the village?"

Tara continued to tug at the thread of fate in her hand vigilantly, preventing it from escaping. The [Astrology Book] that had just been stuffed into the space rift fell out again. The pages were opened, and complex and powerful runes emerged from the depths of the pages.

.

[I can fulfill your wish, and you will have to pay a fate equivalent to this. 】

【Humanity's demands are so greedy that you exchanged your entire destiny for me.】

[Their existence will disappear, and from the moment the transaction is established, they seem to fall into indescribable happiness.]

[We cannot understand, but we hope to understand, so we listen to your request and realize your wish.]

"So, you have deprived all the people who had their wishes fulfilled of all their destiny?"

【We will only take away the fate equivalent to our wishes.】

"Tsk!" Tara still didn't expect this in the end, "In other words, everyone in the village was killed by themselves?"

[It can also be said that there are quite a lot of human beings who have not been deprived of all their destiny by me. Due to the limitations of the laws of destiny itself, we cannot obtain a destiny that exceeds the value of our wishes. 】

"Laws..." This may be beyond the scope of Tara's ability. After all, she is only a human being. "Why are you talking to me so much?"

Tara couldn't believe everything this strange stone statue said, after all, the thread of fate in her hands was still struggling. This was not a child's play, but a major event related to their human livelihood!

[We also have our own wishes, and we need to collect enough destinies to achieve them. 】

[We cannot understand the human heart, but we want to try to understand it. Your wish is too absurd, and we cannot understand it, but we want to try to understand it. We——]

"So, you have your own wishes that you want to realize..." The book in front of Tara finally turned to one of the pages and stopped. The rune fragments flowing out of it made the thread of fate in her hand

The trend of struggle suddenly strengthened.

[I hope to become a real human being and understand you in this way. Unfortunately, the destiny I collected seems to be unable to fulfill my wish. Therefore, I need to continue——]

"Then go to hell. I don't need you to understand humans, and humans don't need another you." Tara directly inserted her other hand into the center of the big book, and actually pulled out a handful of milky white light.

"You don't even know the concept of 'death', do you? We have talked enough."

【I cannot do anything other than exchange, and I have no regrets.】

Tara held the sword, walked up to the trembling lines in three or two steps, and slashed hard. A small scream erupted from the split place like violent metal friction, blowing Tara's body.

Her long hair flew upside down.

This was the mournful cry of the [Stone Statue of Destiny]. For a moment, Tara's spirit seemed to be affected by this painful and distant echo, and the expression on her face was slightly distorted. This thread of fate began to struggle desperately, and

Like a baby being strangled by the throat. Tara directly grabbed the thread of fate that was torn in half with her hands. She used her wrists hard and pried them to both sides. The last few threads that had no time to escape were also under her hands.

Completely cut off.

Bo! Hiss——

A violent tremor washed away from the center of the thread ball, leaving two streaks of nosebleeds straight from Tara's nostrils. She almost rolled her eyes and fainted. She stood up with her strong willpower, and the corners of her mouth finally curled up.

A smile of victory.

This matter seems to be over after all...

The magic light spots deep in her eyes gradually extinguished, and the momentum of her whole person declined rapidly. Even if her behavior would destroy a lot of her strength, she believed that it was worth it for the people of Yaris. Xi

Too many people in Sige have been harmed by this kind of fateful deal, and she can no longer let this behavior continue. She retracted the rivet in the air, conjured a piece of cloth out of thin air, wrapped them up, and carried it on her back

behind.

Tara turned around slowly and walked forward in small steps.

She may know what the fate deal is. After all, she is the most powerful fortune teller in Yaris. What is divined by the stars may be fate itself. What she has done is nothing like the [Miracle Stone Statue].

Second, both take away the randomness of fate and make the future determined.

Even if she destroyed the stone statue... what really chilled her was people's desires. Yes, she also had desires, but in this land full of desires, people's desires were magnified to an exaggerated level.

degree.

She left, weakly. This battle consumed a lot of her energy and magic power, and she probably wouldn't be able to recover for ten days and a half.

On top of the dilapidated ruins, this broken stone stood quietly in the wind. The illusory black lines had disappeared. The breeze seemed to be talking, telling the story of this town.

This is a story that contains hopes and wishes. Everyone is happy. At least before they dissipate, they are extremely happy, because their wishes at the moment have been fulfilled.

【I hope to be able to change back to my original appearance and regain my original strength.】

A weak sound gradually spread from the center of the square, and the scarred space was dyed with a new color. Mysterious and powerful streams of light flowed down from the sky, forming transparent arms, shattering the ground.

The stones were picked up one by one and put together. In just a blink of an eye, a complete stone statue reappeared on the ground of the village.

[Still, is there no way to restore all the strength... Destiny is really too ethereal. 】

[Destino, what is your purpose of waking us up...]

Stone pillars emerged from the ground one after another. Unlike before, rune fragments like water flowed out from the cracks on their bodies, covering the surface of the stone pillars in an instant!

What is a miracle? Resurrection from the dead is obviously a miracle. The price required to realize such a miracle is very high. However, the current Stone Statue of Destiny seems to be able to afford this price. He has gone through countless wishes and has also

He has fulfilled countless wishes for people. Some wish to gain wealth, some wish to gain looks, some wish to gain hearts, and of course, some wish to gain success.

[I hope... to become a human being, to understand their desires and feel their hearts.]

The stone statue called out to the law deep in its heart. Unfortunately, this wish could not be realized, which means that the destiny it gathered was not enough. A light blue tent stretched from the surface of the stone statue to the range of the stone pillars.

Handprints filled every corner of every tent.

How many people's wishes has it fulfilled? It doesn't even know.

It's really pitiful that it can't even satisfy such a small wish. It only wants to understand people's desires, it just wants to see people's hearts.

These handprints gradually melted, leaving horrific traces on the tent. This represented that the power of fate they had devoted was being consumed by the stone statues.

Finally, an illusory human face appeared on the surface of the empty tent. It should have no expression. It didn't even have a soul, so why did it have joy, anger, sorrow and joy?

But...at this time, there were ferocious cracks on the face, and countless lines overflowed with tiny flames. They were now telling their anger, grievances, and unwillingness.

Brush! A light blue line suddenly jumped out from the mouth of the face, extending firmly in one direction to the endless distance. Immediately, a dull gray line appeared on the blue line, and it expanded rapidly.

Swallow it to the other end of the thin line! And the other end of this light blue line is connected to Tara who is standing on the teleportation spell, preparing to return to the Vatican!

【I hope you will weaken】

[I hope you will be confused]

[I hope you and others will lose power]

【I hope you are sad】

[Looking at the stars in the sky to help us]

[I hope the insects from the ground will eat you up]

【Your destiny is for me to use】

【We are all ants】

【Nothing is right or wrong】

Buzz——!!Buzz——!!Buzz——!!

There was an orchestral roar in the air, like a mallet, beating crazily on this gray-stained silk thread!
