Chapter 367: Chapter367-There Is a Way, but I Refuse to Accept It

Morpheus paid no attention to Dagama’s anger.

Instead, his brows furrowed tightly, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

A moment later, he arrived at an answer and was just about to speak when the voice of the Lord of Abyss suddenly resounded within the minds of every one of them.

"In truth, respecting someone does not necessarily depend on whether they are strong or weak."

"As a matter of fact, there is indeed someone I respect. And he is a madman. To be precise, he is a mad genius. The bold and unconstrained ideas inside his mind are things even I would not dare attempt lightly."

"He is using his own life to conduct a cruel experiment. He has even gone so far as to sacrifice his own family..."

"Everything he has done is for the sake of constantly breaking through his upper limit, until he finally shatters this so-called fate." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Upon saying this, the Lord of Abyss suddenly stopped.

He fell silent for a moment before slowly raising his head, his gaze turning toward the bottomless sky above the Abyss.

"Fate... Fate..."

Including Dagama, every Abyss Overseer present could hear the helplessness within the Lord of Abyss’s voice.

Could it be that even the great Lord of Abyss was, in truth, constrained by fate?

A terrifying thought instantly surfaced in the minds of those Abyss Overseers.

They shuddered, then forcibly stopped themselves from thinking any further.

Anything involving fate was far too dangerous. Even the lightest attempt to peer into it could cause one to become deeply trapped within it, never to escape again.

When you peered into fate, fate was also peering into you!

...

The human capital, headquarters of the Ironclad Legion.

Kate slowly raised her head, her gaze sweeping across everything within the Ironclad Legion’s headquarters.

This would be her home in the future.

However, compared to this place, she actually preferred Evelyn’s little courtyard.

Still, there were certain matters she had to return to headquarters and ask about personally.

And besides... if Caesar and Orlando could introduce her to a job while she was here, that would be even better.

Within the commander’s office of the Ironclad Legion, Caesar and Orlando stared at Kate in surprise.

"Little Kate, why have you come back? Did you encounter some kind of trouble? Or is there something you need?"

"Just tell us whatever it is. The two of us old fellows will definitely do everything in our power to satisfy your request!"

Sensing the concern from the two elderly men, the corners of Kate’s lips rose slightly, revealing two adorable dimples.

"Caesar, Orlando, I wanted to ask whether you have any suitable jobs you could recommend to me."

A job recommendation?

Strange expressions instantly appeared on the faces of Orlando and Caesar.

Never in their dreams had they expected Kate to make such a request.

But in the next moment, an expression of sudden realization appeared on Caesar’s face.

"Oh... I understand now. You mean that you have run out of gold coins, correct? This is an oversight on both my part and Orlando’s!"

As Caesar spoke, he took out a purple crystal card from his storage space and handed it to Kate.

"Caesar has been a little short on funds recently, so take these two billion gold coins and spend them for now. Once they are not enough, simply come back and ask Caesar for more!"

Orlando, standing beside him, immediately took out a purple crystal card of his own.

"Little Kate, I also have two billion here. Why don’t you..."

However, when Kate saw the purple crystal cards the two old men were offering her, she firmly shook her head and pushed them back.

"Caesar, Orlando, you misunderstood what I meant. I simply want to find a job!"

"As for gold coins... Big Brother already gave me tens of billions. There is no way I could ever spend them all! Besides, I do not like the feeling of gaining something without working for it."

Kate’s words caused both Orlando and Caesar to freeze in place.

They carefully examined Kate, their eyes filled with affection and kindness.

What a wonderful child.

Not only were her values perfectly upright, but she was also obedient and adorable.

For a moment, Orlando and Caesar even began wondering whether they could think of some other way to keep this lovable child by their side.

Orlando coughed lightly. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Kate and said,

"Little Kate, would you like to become the commander of a battle corps? Our Ironclad Legion’s branch unit, the Shadow Battle Corps, happens to require a commander. With your strength, you would be completely qualified for the position. If you are willing—"

Before Orlando could finish speaking, Kate directly shook her head in refusal.

"Orlando, I want a job that ordinary people do. Fighting and killing all day is not very interesting."

"Uh..."

The corners of Orlando’s mouth twitched violently twice.

For a moment, he genuinely had no idea how he was supposed to respond.

Just then, there was suddenly a knock on the office door.

Orlando was slightly taken aback. Then, almost instantly, he rushed outside and opened the door to the office.

"Little Caelan, you returned so quickly?"

A trace of surprise flashed through Orlando’s eyes. Afterward, he led Caelan into the office.

When Caesar and Kate saw that Caelan had returned, they practically rushed over in an instant and surrounded him from all sides.

"Little Caelan, after consulting the [Waxen Seal], did you find a way to resolve the problem?"

Faced with Caesar’s question and Kate’s expectant gaze, Caelan remained silent for a moment before slowly replying,

"As things stand right now, it has not been completely successful."

Caelan had no intention of following the method provided by the [Waxen Seal].

That was because, for Kate, such an outcome would be practically no different from death.

Therefore, Caelan had already changed his approach.

He planned to continue searching for the whereabouts of Sovereign Ranni. Ideally, he would be able to ask her face-to-face whether there was a way to resolve the problem.

Although the [Lunar Crown] had already disappeared, perhaps there were still other methods capable of activating its power.

The only thing that made Caelan somewhat worried was that he feared the solution provided by Sovereign Ranni would be exactly the same as the one offered by the [Waxen Seal].

If that truly turned out to be the case, then bringing Kate back to life in the truest sense would become nearly impossible.

On the other side, Orlando and Caesar seemed to have realized that there was currently no good solution.

As a result, a barely perceptible trace of disappointment flashed across both their faces.

"So that is how it is..."

They had originally believed that this young fellow Caelan would surely bring them back a pleasant surprise.

But from the looks of things now, that surprise was not so easily obtained.

Instead, Caelan looked at Caesar and Orlando with a trace of surprise.

"Caesar, Orlando, why are you both in such a hurry?"

"This was never going to be an easy matter in the first place. Therefore, it is only inevitable that we will need to spend some time on it, or even experience a few setbacks along the way."

Caelan’s thoughts were very simple.

Since he had not found a solution yet, then he would simply continue searching.

He was not disappointed, much less despairing.

Caelan had even already decided that, at worst, he could put his own [class mutation request] aside for the time being.

There would always be a solution eventually!
