From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Chapter 144: Chapter 138 Destiny’s Trajectory

Viscount Bast must have found out, through some means or experienced some sort of strange adventure, that Byrne possessed the odd destiny of the “Treasure Key”.

To unlock some sort of gate or palace, Seal, or other similar things, he desperately needed Byrne to willingly sacrifice his life to activate the destiny’s trajectory of the “Treasure Key” to help him.

Therefore, Viscount Bast had always been very good to Byrne, playing one emotion card after another without holding back.

Because he understood very well how much Byrne valued emotions!

The invisible threads of the “Treasure Key” destiny’s trajectory were different from other ordinary destinies; they faintly emitted a golden glow, and after staring at them for a long time, a golden key’s mystical illusion would appear.

“Unfortunately, the parts that Bast lent to the Fischer family did not possess Spirituality; even if they did, Byrne and the others would never dare to sacrifice Bast’s belongings to me.”

After the third Seal was lifted, he recalled many memories, mainly of destiny and the mystical knowledge of Consecution. Beyond that, he was also able to confirm one thing.

The beings that Sealed him were definitely not the gods of Claud World!

Karl noticed that when the Lord of Salvation appeared in his memories, they just watched him from afar, never approaching.

“Who exactly am I? And who Sealed me?”

Still, he could not remember.

Yet even so, he wasn’t overly discouraged; after all, the time he had was limitless. As long as the Fischer family didn’t completely perish, he would always have a chance.

“It doesn’t matter, as long as I keep breaking through the Seals, one day I will remember everything!”

Karl suddenly realized that he could now consume Spiritual Power to pluck the strings of destiny and change people’s destiny’s trajectory.

However, just like rune power, the power of “changing destiny” only worked on the members of his own favored clan, the Fischers.

“The so-called changing of destiny’s trajectory is merely able to make them experience special things due to special destinies at certain moments – it’s not truly possible to completely determine the future of the entire Fischer clan.”

After each plucking of the strings of destiny, the new destiny’s trajectory was completely random. It could be good or bad, but each plucking absolutely consumed Spiritual Power.

He gazed at the people kneeling before him.

“The Fischer family is too weak, the current East Coast environment is quite chaotic, and they must have stronger power to avoid being annihilated at any moment.”

“I mustn’t touch the destiny’s trajectory on Byrne, otherwise Bast would be furious. Irene has always been the most devout, so let’s start with her destiny’s trajectory.”

He gently moved the invisible threads with his invisible will, changing the destiny’s trajectory on Irene.

The first pluck!

The invisible strings of destiny then trembled, and no one could observe it, but some causality in the world had already subtly changed.

A new destiny’s trajectory emerged.

“Gourmet”

With the destiny’s trajectory of a “Gourmet”, Irene’s life would often be graced with a variety of delicious foods, her tongue sensitive, capable of discerning the most subtle and special flavors.

Seemingly useless in a chaotic world, Karl fell silent for a moment before manipulating the strings of destiny again.

He quickly found that plucking the strings of destiny twice on the same person increased the consumption of Spiritual Power, and the more times he plucked, the greater the consumption would likely be.

“Narcissus”

Those with the destiny’s trajectory of a “Narcissus” would easily be liked by others who are similar to themselves and also easily develop a liking for people with similar personalities.

“Boring thing, another one!”

On the third pluck of the destiny’s trajectory, Karl was surprised to find that the consumption of Spiritual Power had increased even more.

The destiny’s trajectory changed once again.

“Holy Grail”

Those with the destiny of the “Holy Grail” could help the people around them, meaning that those who surrounded her would more easily realize their own ideals and dreams.

The invisible threads gradually evolved into a golden cup floating on the water, then returned to become invisible threads emitting a great deal of golden light.

Finally, something useful!

Karl appreciated the principle of quitting while ahead and did not waste any more Spiritual Power on Irene.

The next person was Chris.

“The small baby of those days has now become a reliable strong figure in the family that can stand on its own.”

Karl plucked his destiny’s trajectory for the first time.

“Child of Death”

This thing…

A person who has the destiny’s trajectory of the “Child of Death” would find it easier to improve their strength, yet their relatives and friends would continuously encounter misfortune, even dying one after another.

Karl could actually feel that the destiny power possessed by “Child of Death” was very powerful, but it was not at all suitable for Chris and the Fischer family. Better to find another one.

He plucked the strings of destiny again, and the second time “Explosive Sharp Blade” appeared.

Those who possess the destiny trajectory of the “Explosive Sharp Blade” will become increasingly adept at destruction; both people and things will be more easily shattered by them.

Its mystical apparition looks like a sharp red blade!

Not bad, Karl seemed to smile, joy in his heart.

Chris, with the powerful rune power “Blade of Silver Radiance,” and the destiny trajectory of the “Explosive Sharp Blade,” has a true strength equal to that of a Mid-level Transmutation Bloodline Knight; in theory, even more powerful than Byrne.

“This maritime voyage resulted in heavy casualties for the Fischer family, but at the same time, we reaped huge benefits. Perhaps it is the prospect of such gains that drives people to war,” he thought.

The next task was to allocate the rune power from the newly acquired mysterious rare artifacts.

These included one Forbidden rare artifact “Fallen Meteor” and three collectible-class rare artefacts: “Reverse Stab,” “Core Ring,” and “Enchanted Canvas.”

Karl could confirm one important thing: the use of Forbidden rare artifacts came at a cost.

However, once the Forbidden rare artifacts had been transformed into rune power, the cost on the host would no longer exist, or rather, the original cost had been “optimized” away.

Irene’s “healing” rune power came from one such Forbidden rare artifact.

However, activating her “healing” rune power only consumed her physical strength—she never truly paid any other price.

“Fallen Meteor” was a four-digit coded Forbidden rare artifact, its exact number unknown.

Its initial cost of use was enormous, permanently reducing the user’s level of extraordinary power, but now, the cost was merely a substantial consumption of the user’s Spiritual Power.

The Spiritual Power gained from “Fallen Meteor” was quite delectable, both in quality and quantity, which greatly pleased Karl’s heart.

Its extraordinary effect was simple to understand: it summoned a meteor with a diameter of several tens of meters from the sky, crashing it down onto a designated location!

Even an extraordinary exponent at the high-level Transmutation would not dare to confront it head-on, under normal circumstances.

And with the “Fallen Meteor,” the Fischer family finally had the potential to kill extraordinary exponents at the high-level Transmutation stage!

However, even Byrne, with the strongest spirituality, could only release a “Fallen Meteor” once, and its descent was not very fast, making it quite easy for an opponent to escape the attack range in advance.

“Reverse Stab” activated automatically, creating mental spikes to attack the enemy, provided that the opponent was about to cause a fatal threat.

The effect of “Core Ring” was to create the power core of a steel golem, around which a steel golem of undefined shape could be constructed, with completely undetermined combat power.

“Enchanted Canvas” was a collectible-class rare artefact without direct combat ability. Its power was to create a special space the size of a villa garden within the canvas, and anyone invited could voluntarily enter it.

Karl couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.

“Chris and Irene’s rune powers suit them well. Should I swap out ‘transcend’?”

While ‘transcend’ was a useful rune power, its foundation was too low, merely the most common Collectible class artefact “accelerate.”

It wasn’t that it couldn’t keep up with the times; it was just that the straightforward and powerful “Fallen Meteor” was stronger!

After some thought, Karl chose to swap out “transcend” anyway.

“Once the members of the Fischer family have stronger souls, they will be able to hold more rune power. It will be soon, as long as someone reaches the 4th Rank.”

Karl then bestowed the powerful Forbidden rune “Fallen Meteor” upon Byrne.

In the depths of his soul, it appeared as a stone burning with flame.

He then infused the essence of the runes from the three collectible-class rare artifacts and “transcend” into “healing” and “Fallen Meteor.”

“Healing” finally evolved into a spirit rune, while “Fallen Meteor” was just short of evolving.

As the “healing” rune evolved, the original green grass-shaped light of the rune grew robustly into a tall green tree, filled with the breath of life and spirituality.

In Byrne’s eyes appeared the images of meteorites and flames, and in Irene’s, the image of trees.

They both felt a very powerful new force!

Byrne was incredibly shocked, hardly believing it possible, and whispered to himself:

“How can this be? How is it possible? To truly achieve this, the great Lord of the Lost has managed to reduce the costs within a Forbidden rare artifact to such an extent!”

He trembled with excitement. The sheer power of “Fallen Meteor” was intimidating!

And now he could use it, expending only his Spiritual Power!

Currently, Byrne still couldn’t win against the fast-moving William Garcia, but if he had to face off against Baron Leander, whose power was to transform into a giant, it would only take one strike to finish him!

Irene’s face was filled with undisguised joy!

She felt the evolution of “healing’s” rune power and also gained the mysterious knowledge about “Destiny.” The pain in her mind was dizzying, yet it couldn’t overshadow her immense excitement.

Upon learning of the existence of “Destiny’s Trajectory,” Irene felt the Fischer family had stepped into a brand new realm, believing that the vast majority of extraordinary beings on the East Coast had no concept of it!

“Praise You! Great Lord of the Lost!”

The “healing” rune power had completely evolved, its therapeutic effect becoming more effective while also activating from a distance without the need for physical contact.

It not only healed physical injuries and sickness but could now repair defects and problems in the spirit and soul just as well!

Spirit rune “Spirit-returning Tree”!
