Starting with Growing Mushrooms-Chapter 412 - 318: Innate Arrogance

"Why are you unwilling?"

Xiangtuo Mo said blandly, "From here on, you just need to play along."

"You will pretend to have a battle with the Gatekeeper of this world, then lose, and remain at the eleventh trial."

"You must realize you absolutely can’t overcome the twelfth trial."

"Staying at the eleventh trial is actually a good thing."

"If it weren’t for us cheating and altering the eleventh trial’s world, the newly born children wouldn’t be so gentle and could kill all of you."

In the distance, Fortuna sneered, "So, you are actually helping us, preventing us from dying at the eleventh trial? You want us to throw the fight?"

"Looking at the results, yes," Xiangtuo Mo said softly.

The conditions offered were very tempting.

Stopping is fine.

As long as we stop, then everyone can be at peace.

"Heh heh." Fortuna sneered, "Why does what you’re saying sound so much like what those kids said earlier? Stop and everyone can live in harmony."

Xiangtuo Mo remained silent.

It seems that every trial tries various ways to make them stop!

Even he himself has become the same.

Because as he said, right or wrong is irrelevant, it’s different positions!

If they want to immigrate, save their comrades, they must do this.

"I disagree."

Fortuna looked at the distant God Surya, fully stubborn and bold, "I hate cheating the most, a rigged fight with you?"

His gaze turned to that seemingly motionless God collecting world information, "What are you anyway?"

Fortuna sneered without any reverence at this God.

This God gives an impression of all-knowing vastness, and a kind of innate arrogance.

What is arrogance?

True arrogance stems from wisdom itself.

The crushing of intellect, all-knowing and omnipotence, makes God’s arrogance innate.

Even to God, this is not arrogance, but merely an innate attitude towards world knowledge.

When you possess such wisdom that everyone seems foolish to you, then with what eyes do you view these fools...

Their behavior, logic, speaking style, are laughable in your eyes, transparent at a glance.

Thus.

Even if you conduct normal conversation with these fools, they feel a deep-seated arrogance in you.

This is the all-knowing God.

However, I, Fortuna, am destiny!

Previously, I could provocatively challenge the God of my own world, fought fiercely, and what’s more this God before me?

She, Fortuna, destiny, has never been cowardly!

Ananke is changing fate, Moira is the cowardly fate of death, she is the fate of resistance.

Dare to bite anyone, symbolic of the unyielding human spirit of destiny!

What’s more, the opponent stands on Scouti’s fate stance.

Brought by the Goddess of Destiny, if she cowers, she dies too, so why be timid?

Just tore Scouti, feeling good, now even less timid.

Watch me bite you fiercely.

So, Fortuna began her battle, with a sarcastic tone:

"Since you’re playing a rigged fight, why not pretend, become God’s child, cry once to mark your birth."

"Then since you want to pretend defeat, let everyone take turns beating you."

"Honestly, I haven’t truly defeated God yet."

"The thought of beating God black and blue, begging for mercy, can’t help but want to photograph it."

"Even beating a forgery feels satisfying."

Fortuna’s nonstop chatter didn’t annoy God Surya.

His eyes lowered, as if an emotionless Supreme God, watching the sprightly Fortuna, softly exclaimed:

"Past, present, future, three destinies, please leave her body."

As the words fell, glory filled the skies.

The three origins within the Goddess of Destiny began to gently fly out.

Fortuna was utterly shocked, her 30,000-year God had such terrifying power, his speech as law was absurdly strong.

Just a soft call, and my destiny flies out?

Fortuna frantically resisted the invasion of mysterious Divine Power, yet continued to defiantly say, "Do you think I’ll fear you?"

"Merely a forgery."

Fortuna said, "Scouti can leave all arrangements, I can’t? I’ve been prepared long ago."

"Reveal my trump card, it’ll definitely astonish you."

Fortuna fearlessly murmured,

"God save me."

This was her strongest trump card.

She clearly understood that God remained neutral because he could endure Chaos, so he didn’t want to interfere with the affairs of this era.

But if another God appeared, it would be a provocation to God’s limits, a challenge to His very authority...

You have God’s backing, and don’t I, Fortuna?

"The God of this world, is it?"

Surya squinted his eyes, sat on the throne ready for anything, while the two child Angels behind him watched the surroundings warily.

He had no contempt at all.

And he had no qualifications for contempt.

Because after coming to this world, he was just a blank seventh-tier without the four Divine Objects, having lost his God’s status.

Why could he easily use the Mysterious to summon the fate Divine Object of the Goddess of Destiny?

Because God, throughout the ages, transmitted His Mysterious, awakening Fairies one by one.

Scouti, in secret, collected the Mysterious Divine Power of various eras in advance, for massive reserves.

Now this reserve of Divine Power was given to him to use.

But the remaining reserves of Mysterious Divine Power on him were like water without a source, once used up, they were gone.

Whereas the opponent’s God was the true source of the Mysterious.

In such disparity, he naturally prepared for anything.

Yet after Fortuna called for a long while, the figure of God was still unseen, it was Fortuna herself who couldn’t hold on any longer.

Ah!

With Fortuna’s scream, her three kinds of Destiny Divine Powers flew away completely, leaving her thoroughly reduced to a mortal.

Beside her, Xiangtuo Mo frowned slightly, "Why isn’t the God of this world showing up? Could it be that he doesn’t want to intervene?"

Next to him, Madra couldn’t help but shout, "Could it be, he’s afraid?"

"Indeed."

Mandar said, "He admitted being weak, understanding he couldn’t defeat the God of the Sun God Era thirty thousand years later, it’s only natural after all."

They gossiped and speculated.

Not helping Fortuna and not appearing seemed to them that this God was afraid.

Only Fortuna, turned into a mortal, showed no fear at all, remaining steadfast, "Foolish."

"You obnoxious woman, who are you insulting?" Madra originally had no liking for them.

This God sheltered them, giving them a place to settle and establish themselves, so they chose to temporarily follow this God.

But it was only temporary.

The two children were ready to act according to circumstances at any time.

"I mean you, too foolish."

Fortuna, now a mere mortal, surprisingly showed an air of certainty, "If God were truly afraid, He would instead act to protect me, to prevent my three types of fate from being taken away, strengthening your power."

"The reason God hasn’t taken action, there’s only one reason."

"His arrogance far exceeds this God you have!"

Fortuna’s words made everyone suddenly realize, recalling a past event.

In those days, their side’s God, who was also their Goddess of Destiny, bound the opposing side’s three Goddesses of Destiny together in a fight.

Now, it’s probably the same.

He plans to let the three types of fate go over there, to fight together with the four types of fate, including... this God.

God Surya revealed a hint of coldness, "Truly an arrogant fellow."

Through history, it was always him, God, who showed arrogance to others.

But now.

He was actually being shown by another God...

"Interesting."

God Surya said softly.

He was the original God of the true era, the true natural Host.

God Surya started as a City Lord of the ancient Angel Dynasty, defeated the evil dragon, and saved his daughter.

But that was the world line of their world.

In Liu Jun’s world line, he took Surya’s Divine Object and replaced God’s position, leading to the fall of this original God.

Boom!

God Surya suddenly made a move, striking at this mortal, still chattering woman, Fortuna.

But in the next moment, ripples spread, and a pure and holy figure slowly appeared before them.

His expression was incomparably calm:

"Destiny can be taken from you, but Fortuna cannot be killed because after you die, the destiny must be returned to Fortuna."

Surya laughed, "This world’s God, upon meeting for the first time, do you think you can kill us and then return the fate to Fortuna?"

God reached out and pulled Fortuna into a card, saying blandly:

"You have no Divine Object on you, I just want to see what you can offer that might interest me, hopefully, you can please me a little."
