The Realm of Fate opened once again. Countless threads intertwined and appeared in front of Nabelius.
Looking at this scene in front of her, Nabelius smiled and squinted her eyes, like a cat sleeping under the sun in the afternoon, revealing a lazy smile.
Even though Nabelius had the ability to manipulate fate, she rarely interfered with it.
It was a common problem for many prophets, but it wasn't because Nabelius would be affected by the power of fate.
Even though she would be affected when she peeked into the future as a prophet, the impact was negligible to Nabelius, who was a demigod.
Besides, fate was a part of her Domain, which made it easier for her to manipulate it.
However, Nabelius wouldn't force herself to make a decision. Fate was like a huge net. At first glance, a man beating his wife at night and a child stealing an apple from his stall didn't seem to be related at all.
But who knew where this net would pull the fates of both sides.
Perhaps the child would try to steal more apples from the man and get caught. Perhaps the child would witness the man beating his wife to death or being killed by his wife while she was drunk.
After that, the culprit who was caught might be hanged, imprisoned, or the innocent child might be used as a scapegoat.
If one were to trace the source of the turning point that changed the fate of both parties, it would start when the child stole an apple when the man wasn't paying attention.
And the apple could change the fate of three people.
This was the weaving of fate. Every choice could affect the future of countless people.
Besides, Jenn had reminded Nabelius more than once that even though her Domain was fate, it didn't mean there wasn't a hand manipulating her. If Nabelius was too obsessed with manipulating fate, would she turn into a puppet of fate?
At that time, would the fate she changed be a decision made by Nabelius with his own will, or was it just a job for her as a chess piece?
Many people believed that fate was a maze. As long as they could make the right choice and find the right path, they would one day be able to escape this maze.
But in the end, they would discover that this labyrinth, this net itself, was fate, was life, was life.
Fate couldn't be escaped or changed.
It was just like how NPCs in video games couldn't break through the dimensional barrier and jump into reality from the computer. Therefore, the only thing they could do was to make a choice that they wouldn't regret.
Nabelius wasn't stupid, nor was she naive.
No matter what, she was also a member of the Demons. Of course, she understood what her brother meant.
This was also one of the reasons why Nabelius loved her brother so much. In Nabelius's opinion, Jenn was the best brother in the world, so it was only natural for his sister to like him.
Nabelius understood the stakes, but she knew that it wasn't important. Nabelius wasn't interested in the intrigue between the Demons. But even so, she knew an iron-clad fact.
That was, if she didn't snatch it, it would be snatched away by a brainless idiot with small breasts.
This was what Nabelius couldn't stand the most.
"Phew …"
After collecting her slightly scattered thoughts, Nabelius opened her eyes and looked at the Fate Realm in front of her. What was in front of her was, of course, her fate lines.
Around her, fate lines of various colors intertwined and weaved together, forming an impenetrable net.
If it were an ordinary person, just looking at the net would be enough to make them dizzy. But to Nabelius, it was basically no different from her private plot of land.
Even with her eyes closed, she could recite what they were and where they came from as if she was counting her family treasures.
The fate lines in front of her had no secrets in Nabelius's eyes.
"Big Brother is still pestering me. How annoying …"
Looking at the black, spiraling line closest to her fate line, Nabelius couldn't help but frown.
In terms of bad relationship, her relationship with Klein was even worse than her relationship with Vivian.
After all, Nabelius and Vivian only had a conflict of interest, and they liked each other.
But it was different with Klein. Klein had always treated others as chess pieces.
As the daughter of the Princess of the Underworld, Nabelius was also a princess, and she was extremely intelligent. Naturally, she hated being treated as a mindless puppet or a fool.
Moreover, their personalities were incompatible. So to Nabelius, her big brother was basically non-existent.
As for Lilicia …
At this thought, Nabelius glanced meaningfully at the almost invisible red line hidden behind the fate line and retracted her gaze.
Lilicia definitely didn't dare to find trouble with Nabelius. In fact, she rarely appeared in front of Nabelius. After all, her youngest sister had the ability to control fate. If she had something on her, Lilicia would be in a passive position.
From a certain point of view, Nabelius was basically Lilicia's nemesis. That was because no matter what tricks Nabelius came up with, the little one could immediately see the end of the plot.
There was nothing more depressing than fighting a losing battle.
"Big Brother is the best. He didn't even think of bullying me."
Looking at the top of the fate line with satisfaction, Nabelius nodded. Her eyes flickered for a moment before she immediately retracted her gaze.
Then, she turned her head and looked at the other fate line that was parallel to her, but it didn't move at all.
"Sister Vivian is still too lazy. You can't count on her at all!"
As she spoke, Nabelius lightly flicked the fate line in dissatisfaction.
Originally, she hoped to ally with Vivian. In Nabelius's opinion, as long as she and Vivian joined forces, Klein and Lilicia would be killed.
After that, they would kill Klein and Lilicia. Then, it would be up to the two of them to decide how to split Zayen's brother.
However, she didn't expect that Vivian wasn't interested in her suggestion at all. Although Nabelius gave her a lot of principles, she didn't expect that Vivian would be uninterested in her suggestion.
Although Nabelius gave her a lot of advice, Vivian only said the same thing over and over again. "Anyway, we are enemies. Unless you let me have my brother, I won't help you!"
From a certain point of view, Vivian was right … That was because Nabelius's original plan was to get rid of the other enemies before kicking Vivian away and running away with her brother.
This meant that when a scholar meets a soldier, there was indeed no way to explain it.
As for now …
Nabelius looked at the other side of the fate net. After seeing the colorful fate lines, she frowned slightly.
"Fate line … Is this the Son of God?
Hmm … No wonder I've felt that something was off recently. So that's why … Seems like this group of elves is really troublesome … "
Although that was what she said, Nabelius didn't seem to find it troublesome at all.
On the contrary, as the little one spoke, she raised the magic wand in her hand and tapped it on the line of fate that belonged to Klein. Then, she let out a soft snort.
Along with this action, Klein's line of fate shook all of a sudden. After a short while, a black line mixed with white lines extended from the side as though it was attracted by something, wrapping around Nabelius's magic wand.
The little guy, on the other hand, held his breath and "followed the current" with the thread of fate.
Of course, Nabelius couldn't change Klein's fate. After all, Klein was much stronger than her and Vivian.
She had calculated that only by joining forces with Vivian would they have a chance of dealing with Klein.
But fate was never one person's.
Klein couldn't affect Klein, but the people around him were different for Nabelius. In fact, even the four legendary generals under Klein weren't a problem for Nabelius.
This was the reason why she dared to place Tinidell by her brother's side.
If Nabelius discovered that Tinidell dared to cross the red line, she could teach him a lesson without even stepping out of the house.
Nabelius didn't make a deliberate choice. Just like Jenn had warned her, forcefully changing fate might bring about unforeseeable harm.
Little Rascal had always been obedient to her big brother, so she didn't choose a specific target. She was just going with the flow to see if anyone would take the bait.
To put it simply, all Nabelius had to do was dig a ditch and the water would naturally flow there … She didn't have to worry about anything else.
Nabelius's movements were light and slow, and the wand in her hand moved from time to time. Under Nabelius's guidance, the black thread was as though attracted by a magnet, following Nabelius's wand to the colorful threads of fate on the other side. Then, she held her breath and tapped the black thread gently in the direction of the elves.
Immediately after, that black line fused into the elves' Line of Fate as if it were a stone falling out of its mouth.
At the next moment, everything changed.
The originally silent Realm of Fate seemed to have awakened and began to rumble. The threads of fate began to spin, retract, and transform.
After a short while, the entire thread of fate on Klein's side began to move in a semi-circle under the guidance of the black thread of fate. Then, like a sharp knife, it pierced into the emerald river of fate of the elves and formed a shocking shape.
"There's no problem now …"
Looking at this scene, Nabelius nodded in satisfaction and put away the wand in her hand.
Along with this action, the surrounding Fate Realm vanished once again. Shortly after, the warm and comfortable room appeared before Nabelius again. She laid down and hugged the tiger doll in her arms.
"Alright then, it's time for me to go to bed. I hope the elves are lucky …"
Nabelius said, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep slumber …
