Three Towers Game-Chapter 964 - 290: Resonance of Fate (Part 2)

Understand that Wen Xishu has only embarked on half of this journey.

If he, like myself, reaches the ninety-seventh level of the Deceit Tower, then Wen Xishu would certainly be able to surpass me, wouldn’t he?

This gave Albert a glimpse of hope and future.

Thirty seconds have already passed.

Albert didn’t even notice this.

When the black light receded and the tricolored sphere reverted to its original form...

The gaze of Sagittarius was extremely complex.

Wen Xishu said:

"Now, you’d better pray that I don’t die, better pray that I can live well."

As Sagittarius, the power he wields crosses spatial boundaries, and is also tied to fate and causality.

It is precisely because of this that Sagittarius is acutely aware that something of his own has merged with Wen Xishu.

"Destiny... Resonance."

"You didn’t come for my power; you came to seize our destiny?"

At this juncture, even Albert realized that thirty seconds couldn’t have been this long.

"Seems like it’s time for the answers, isn’t it? What exactly did you do to him?"

Albert said with a smile.

Wen Xishu responded:

"It’s a long story, principal. Let him go first. He will no longer pose a threat to us."

Albert knew that if Wen Xishu dared to say so, there must be a valid reason.

He was very...

Wen Xishu stated:

"If I fall, the Bunker falls. If the Bunker falls, I also fall. Do you understand?"

This was said to Sagittarius.

Never had Sagittarius felt such humiliation:

"I can choose death. Even if you have a destiny like mine, even if my death makes you a beneficiary, you still can’t surpass Leon or those stronger than me."

Wen Xishu calmly said:

"If you choose death, in my view, it’s the most foolish decision."

"Indeed, your death would place humanity against some currently invincible enemies."

"But how would you know I don’t have a constellation behind me?"

Even Albert was astounded by this statement.

Wen Xishu’s rapid progress, the collective betrayal of the Wen Family, Wen Chaohua’s contradictions...

All of this would make perfect sense if explained by the influence of constellations.

Wen Xishu had evidently mastered the essence of psychological suppression.

In Sagittarius’s eyes—

If you humans don’t have a constellation behind you, then my death strengthens a constellation, thus strengthening your enemies. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

But Wen Xishu went along with it, openly admitting that he had the backing of a constellation as support. Imagining that if Sagittarius died and it grew stronger, would humanity also improve? Imagine if that constellation is a particularly powerful one?

Thinking this way, if Sagittarius died, he would truly become a clown.

Of course, breaking down psychological advantages is to keep Sagittarius alive.

To prevent Sagittarius from harboring thoughts of death.

As for why to keep Sagittarius alive, that’s simple, because Wen Xishu is already confident in handling Sagittarius.

"You may go back now, the treaty is void from today. In the future, the principal and I will defeat more constellations."

"Sagittarius, or rather, should I call you... Archer, losing to humans is not a disgrace. Today’s events may be a turning point in your destiny."

"Don’t you wish that long-prepared arrow to pierce Leon’s heart?"

Admittedly, this is indeed an enticing proposal.

Despite being defeated by Albert, despite descending into dust and feeling deeply humiliated.

Once accepting such defeat could even lead to admiration for Albert’s hard work and resolve.

Even pondering, amidst the Bunker’s path to divinity, that such a strong presence has emerged. Perhaps cooperation is truly possible.

After all, even "destiny" has been merged.

Now, having merged destinies with Wen Xishu, destiny resonance has been achieved.

And due to the Heart of Fusion residing within Wen Xishu, he becomes the leader.

In other words, if Wen Xishu faces a significant upheaval, his own life will soon encounter a significant upheaval.

If Wen Xishu is favored by destiny, finding solutions to hardships like a dragon ascending to the heavens.

He too will be favored by destiny, finding solutions to hardships like a dragon ascending to the heavens.

If Wen Xishu encounters a deadly fate and perishes, then he too will face a corresponding crisis. It might not lead to death, but sure enough, it will be a mortal fate.

This is the destiny resonance.

Of course, Wen Xishu can influence him, yet he finds it difficult to influence Wen Xishu.

Because the holder of the Heart of Fusion dictates leadership power. The fate of the one being merged, their life and death, doesn’t interfere with the holder of the Heart of Fusion.

This is the "black" usage of the Heart of Fusion, a destiny resonance merger, and a prolonged merger interval.

Establishing destiny resonance with Sagittarius, Wen Xishu wouldn’t be able to establish again with other people for a longtime.

However, Sagittarius is currently the most powerful presence he can engage with.

The Heart of Fusion also has "red" and "white" usages.

But those require "strong" merging with "weak."

Sagittarius gazed at Wen Xishu, with a complex look:

"You already know those crucial secrets..."

Wen Xishu nodded:

"If you wish to add more, I’d be more than happy to hear in detail."

"I think my friends likely have the time."

Seeing Sagittarius remain silent, Wen Xishu wasn’t anxious, his tone smooth:

"Why can’t there be cooperation with humanity? Look, I possess this sword, this scale, and this bull horn."

"Guess how many constellations are behind me? Taurus, Scorpio, Libra, all likely stronger than you, right?"

"Libra counts as one of Leo Leon’s most detested existences, but see, strong as Leo, there is no immediate way to contend with Libra."

"You might think I’ve been utilized by Scorpio, utilized by Libra, and even utilized by Taurus."

"After all, the cost of using these tools is actually letting them obtain power too."

"But how do you know I’m not utilizing them instead?"

"After all, the decision of who to use and how to use them lies with me. I can even manage to balance."

Albert showed deep respect, Xun Hui was internally filled with shock.

The words spoken by Wen Xishu were directed at the constellations.

The perception of Wen Xishu, at this moment, was akin to a mastermind stirring the winds within the Three Towers War.

As for Nissen and Yue Yun, they’ve reached a degree where their dao mind is somewhat affected.

Surely, neither of them begrudges Wen Xishu.

Yet witnessing peers with such a gap from themselves... it’s difficult for the heart not to be disheartened.

Wen Xishu further stated:

"Moreover, my backing isn’t them. However, at present, I can’t fully trust you, even though we have a destiny resonance."

Sagittarius appears persuaded.

"but I can’t help you. I cannot, due to a few words from you, violate my original duties. That would plunge me into an enormous crisis."

"Understand, every constellation has its own authority, and authority means responsibility."

"I also can’t possibly use my arrows to help the Bunker people ascend the tower by shooting down enemies."

Wen Xishu chuckled:

"Archer, I don’t need that kind of assistance. What we need is termination of the agreement to shoot down levels seventy to seventy-five. And to resolve our mysteries."

"From now on, you may not have become the support of the Bunker people, but you will certainly no longer be their enemy, isn’t this great?"

"At least, you can enlighten us on Mr. Jin, on yourselves, on the Three Towers War, and on the apocalypse."

"Why this world has become like this, what exactly you are doing."

"Regarding the Companion Curse, enabling mutual slaughter to achieve divinity, what it is, who it was bestowed by."

"Just answering these questions I’m sure wouldn’t be too difficult for you, would they?"

Sagittarius was silent for a moment. During his silence, Albert maintained a sharp gaze.

In these numerous queries posed by Wen Xishu, many are things Albert desires to comprehend.

Xun Hui, long having released no self, being able to reach mid-tower, at an age only a quarter of the old principal’s years, could touch upon some of the elemental riddles.

All this is, of course, owed to Wen Xishu.

Undeniably, Wen Xishu was aware of quite a bit from the Bullet Screen. Now, these secrets would be uttered by Sagittarius himself.

Finally, Sagittarius sighed:

"Some things, even if you know, are beyond comprehension, even several queries you raised are things I crave answers to."

"The Three Towers War is essentially the war to resurrect God. The Bunker, countries, and us alike."

"It’s just that we were the ones chosen by the tower’s power in this era. Naturally, we were also the ones most attuned to this power in terms of constitution."

"Of course, throughout history, there exist other entities, such as Cain of the Crystal City; you’ve surely met him with the Fated Duel."
