Chapter 251 Cut off fate
At the same time, inside the field.
Fenrir stared at Gu Ye with his huge eyes. The man and the dragon did not continue to fight as Lu Mingfei had imagined. Instead, they looked at each other in great harmony.
"My sister didn't come?" Fenrir asked with doubt in his eyes.
"She went to buy you your favorite potato chips." Gu Ye said with a smile.
To be honest, he was actually very afraid that Fenrir, the Dragon King with the IQ of a child, would make something go wrong in the middle of his plan, but in fact he did a very good job and did not arouse suspicion from outsiders.
Now they should all think that Fenrir has exhausted his strength and is ready to activate the Word of Destruction, but no one would have thought that he is actually just using his control over the elements to simulate the illusion of Shiva's Karma Dance being activated.
Of course... Gu Ye also put in a lot of effort in this performance. At least the incredibly intimidating light pollution consumed a lot of his daylight power. In order to make the simulation more realistic, he even deliberately created the illusion of Fenrir dancing in the light curtain.
"Great, potato chips are the most delicious thing in the world!" Fenrir's huge dragon head showed a hint of human joy.
He actually didn't understand why Gu Ye would make him go to so much trouble to act, but that didn't stop him from having a lot of fun. If he hadn't promised Xia Mi to listen to Gu Ye, he might have wanted to continue playing with that group of humans for a while.
But Xia Mi said that only if he cooperated well with Gu Ye would she buy him potato chips, so Fenrir did not choose to act recklessly, but obediently completed all the tasks that Gu Ye asked him to do.
Now knowing that Xia Mi had gone to buy him potato chips, Fenrir was so happy that he wanted to wag his tail. It turned out that obedient children would be rewarded.
"Are you satisfied with just potato chips?" Gu Ye sighed with a hint of sympathy on his face.
This world is really magical. Some people wantonly sacrifice the lives of their subordinates in order to gain more benefits. But some dragons can be satisfied with just a bag of potato chips.
Gu Ye didn't know how long Xia Mi had kept Fenrir in Nibelungen, but he could understand why she did it. With Fenrir's intelligence, he couldn't survive in a society of mixed-bloods.
Rather than being killed by other half-breeds in the end, it would be better to let him live in Nibelung. Even if he is not very free and has nothing to eat except potato chips, it is still better than dying completely.
"Potato chips are enough, they are my favorite." Fenrir nodded.
"Next, close your eyes. When you wake up again, your sister will be back. You can eat whatever you want then." Gu Ye said softly.
"Then you can't lie to me..." Fenrir closed his eyes obediently, and Gu Ye took a deep breath. The flames on his body dissipated, and two spirits, a wolf and a sheep, appeared on both sides of his shoulders.
With a faint purple light emanating from his arm, Gu Ye inserted his hand into Fenrir's heart without hesitation.
The next moment, the entire space seemed to be turned over, and the originally dim Nibelungen instantly turned into a city. Gu Ye forcibly pulled Fenrir into his Nibelungen.
The wolf spirit on his shoulder rushed out and wrapped around Gu Ye's arm. As his arm pulled, a transparent boy's spirit appeared in front of Gu Ye. Faintly, there were countless thin threads on his chest connecting to the huge dragon body floating in the air.
"What is this?" Gu Ye was a little confused. The thin thread in front of him seemed like it would break if the wind blew, but when he pulled it, there seemed to be no end, firmly connecting Fenrir's spirit and the dragon's body.
Using his power to explore, he could only sense a very mysterious aura and could not detect any other useful information.
After thinking for a while, Gu Ye decided to give up the exploration. If this thing still exists after the body is reshaped, he will continue to study it. He doesn't have much time left now.
Thinking of this, Gu Ye unhesitatingly activated the power of daylight towards the spirit of Fenrir in front of him. A phantom with a goat's head and a human body appeared behind him, holding a bow in his hand and charging towards Fenrir's spirit.
The next moment, countless spots of light appeared throughout the city, especially in the cherry tree in the center. The light blue spots gathered and brought up a breeze, carrying the cherry petals towards the spirits of Gu Ye and Fenrir in the air.
"What an amazing energy fluctuation! It doesn't look like spiritual energy, nor is it the four elements... What on earth is this?" Under the cherry tree, Norton looked at the countless energy spots in front of him with some surprise.
And Constantine beside him curiously stretched out his hand and poked the light spot. An inexplicable wave passed into his heart. Constantine seemed to see the scene of all things reviving, and couldn't help muttering to himself.
"Brother, it's hope... This is the power of hope..."
"Hope?" Norton also stretched out his hand, and a very gentle energy, different from the extremely violent elemental force he once mastered, flowed into his body.
"I see... maybe he really is the guy who can change fate." As the Dragon King, Norton understood what this power represented in just a moment of contact.
As we all know, the Black King separated his elemental energies to create the Four Dragon Kings, and then separated his spiritual elements to create his own half, the White King, who is even more powerful than the Four Dragon Kings.
But from beginning to end, there was one thing he did not give to his creation, and that was the life energy that represented creation. No Dragon King could master such an ability. The authority to create life at will truly belonged to God, that is, the creator of the Dragon King, the Black King.
But now, this authority seems to have a new owner, and compared to the Black King, although he is very immature, he does not have that kind of extreme will.
The power exerted by Gu Ye is more like something without personal feelings, just like nature, embracing everything.
As the energy gathered, the light on the arrow of Yang Ling's phantom became brighter and brighter, like a light blue sun.
"It's almost there. Let me see how far the power from the Rune Continent can go." Gu Ye felt that the power of the day had been condensed to its limit, and he snapped his fingers with difficulty.
The next moment, the arrow was shot out, and a blue light enveloped Fenrir's spirit. A drop of blood appeared under the weaving of the light, and then spread out. Bones and flesh gradually appeared, and skin grew out as well.
The body of a little boy emerged intact, and the power of daylight gradually dissipated in the air. Along with it also disappeared the thin line that originally connected Fenrir's spirit and the dragon's body.
But at this moment, a meteor-like golden light streaked through the space, tore a hole in the sky above Gu Ye's Nibelungen, and attacked Gu Ye's chest.
The sheep spirit behind Gu Ye raised his head as if he sensed something, and drew the bow and arrow again. In an instant... he felt drained, and Gu Ye's body became slightly weak, and he was even unable to stand up.
The power of both Mingri and Yeyou in the entire Nibelungen was forcibly drained away. Gu Ye, the original master of Nibelungen, had no time to react.
Yang Ling seemed to let out a faint sigh, she loosened her hand, and the arrow hit the golden light spot hard, easily shattering it.
After taking one last look at Gu Ye to make sure he was safe, she nodded to him and quietly disappeared. "Was that him?" Gu Ye looked at the sheep spirit that had begun to disappear behind him with lingering fear.
To resurrect Fenrir, he had already mobilized all the power of daylight and was in a state of full concentration, but he was unable to stop that strange attack.
The golden light that seemed to be able to break through the long river of time and space made Gu Ye recall a very unhappy past.
"You should be the only one who feels the same inescapable feeling... Odin." Gu Ye stared at the hole in the sky and uttered the name that he had always cared about.
That’s right, Gu Ye had experienced the golden light just now before, the gun of destiny that could never be blocked, Kungunir…
But, how could he be stopped so easily this time? Was it because he had become strong enough, or was it because of the protection of Qian Jue's remaining power? Gu Ye was a little confused.
He was certain that he had gathered all the power of the daylight into the Sheep Spirit this time, but he was not sure whether the Sheep Spirit's spontaneous movement in the end was really connected to a trace of Qian Jue's will.
"The more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes. Let's just take a look..." Only at this time did Gu Ye think of the system, and he subconsciously called up the system panel.
[Name: Gu Ye]
[Race: Divine Dragon Lord]
[Strength]: SSS
[Speed]: SSS
【Resilience】: SSS
[Magic Power (Magic Resistance)]: SSS
【Lucky】: S
[Current Character Panel]: Armor Sett (Fully Unlocked)

[Unlocked skills: Battlefield Pride (passive), Overpowering, Deliberate Punch, Strong Hand Cracking Head, Spectacular]
[Special skills: Blessing of Jörmungandr, Power and Strength of the King of Bronze and Fire, Arrow that Cuts Off Fate]
[World Authority: 1/4]
What do you mean… Where is my Soul Lotus power? Gu Ye then realized that he had exited the Soul Lotus state without knowing when, and there was no response when he activated it again.
[Warning, the skin is currently cooling down, please wait until the cooling is complete and try again. ]
Before Gu Ye could try again, the system panel issued a warning. Only then did he realize that skin had a cooling time.
"It should be because it has completely overdrawn its strength that it will enter the cooling stage, right?" Gu Ye looked at the inside of his Nibelungen thoughtfully.
Unlike its lively appearance before, the Nibelungen now seemed to be covered with a gray filter, and it looked lifeless. Just like the Nibelungen created by other dragon kings, it had become a complete kingdom of the dead.
"So, it must have been that god who took action just now, right?" Gu Ye murmured to himself.
Apart from this, he could not imagine any other reason that could instantly turn Nibelungen, a spiritual being, into its current state. But Odin's attack was shattered with just one strike. Should we say that he is worthy of being a god who has existed for thousands of years?
"I always feel like I owe someone a favor for no reason..." Gu Ye said with a wry smile.
He remembered that it was the Fire Dragon who saved him from Kungunir's attack last time, and this time it was the God of Death from Rune Continent. What virtue did he have that deserved such protection from these two great gods?
After clicking on the special talent called [Arrow that Cuts Off Fate], Gu Ye saw a detailed introduction.
[Everything in time is predetermined, but this arrow has isolated this world from the long river of destiny. From now on, everything about you will no longer be locked by fate. ]
What does this mean? Gu Ye didn't quite understand. He activated this special talent, and suddenly a mysterious wave appeared. In his eyes, countless threads like the one just now spread throughout the Nibelungen.
"Is this... the thread of destiny?" Gu Ye subconsciously said the name of the thing in front of him.
The threads before your eyes are proof that you are in this world. They are the threads of fate and no one can escape from them.
But just after this talent was activated, Gu Ye discovered that the threads in the Nibelung were constantly breaking...
According to legend, Zeus' second wife was Themis, the goddess of justice and law among the Titans. Themis and Zeus gave birth to two pairs of triplets, a total of six girls. The first child was the three goddesses of the years: Eunomia, the goddess of order, Dike, the goddess of justice, and Eirene, the goddess of peace.
The second child is the three goddesses of fate, namely Clotho who weaves the lifeline, Lachesis who distributes the lifeline, and Atropos who takes back the lifeline. The authority of the three goddesses of fate is above everything else, and neither gods nor humans can disobey.
Zeus is the king of all gods, in charge of heaven and earth and everything, with infinite power, but his own destiny is controlled by these three goddesses and he has no control over it.
The silk threads that kept breaking in front of Gu Ye seemed to be exactly the same as the legend of the three goddesses who controlled the loom of destiny.
Looking into the distance, Gu Ye saw the figures of Norton and Constantine. As expected... there was no trace of the thread that symbolized their fate.
Was it recycled? Or... had it been cut off by myself? Could it be that only living beings whose fates were changed while alive could reveal the thread?
There are too few things to refer to, so let’s wait until we get out... Gu Ye sighed and looked away.
He was certain that no longer being locked in fate was more than just preventing Gungnir from attacking again. According to previous speculation, everything would come to an end after the Black King's resurrection, and everyone who tried to resist fate already had a predetermined ending.
But now it’s different. Gu Ye has completely separated from the chessboard, and no one can control his fate.
In other words, he, who has broken away from the long river of fate, has become a variable recognized by the world. Even if it is a prophecy, new changes will occur as long as he moves forward according to his goals.
“What a great favor…”
If that’s the case, how can I repay him... Gu Ye felt a little headache and looked at his arm. Now there was only a single thread left, but he knew that this was not the thread of destiny that belonged to this world.
He looked in the direction of the silk thread, and his gaze seemed to travel through time and space.
"In other words, my fate is now connected to Runeterra?"
