Bizarre Realm-Chapter 451 - 54: Time Spell! Full Firepower!

It’s even more dangerous here than the storage room!

Shawn’s intuition is warning him, and at this moment, he even has the illusion that he might die here if he is not careful.

It’s crucial to understand that Shawn is now a dual Ninth Ring Caster, possessing both Arcane Magic and Spiritual Energy. He can activate Time Freeze and is equipped with numerous powerful Curios, including the Divine Artifact Vessel of Greed. Additionally, he carries one of the life-saving ace cards left behind by nameless individuals, the effect of Death Retrospect, which hasn’t been triggered for a long time. However, to kill someone with Death Retrospect like him would be incredibly difficult. A powerful mage is inherently tough to kill, let alone someone like Shawn, a Dual Cultivation Mage who can glimpse the visage of death.

"I smell the scent of death," the Ugly Monkey suddenly whispered.

His expression was extremely grave, and at some point, his entire being had turned into a shadow. This effect, similar to a ’Shadow Body,’ has a certain probability of immunizing all physical damage. His whole form seemed like an ink painting, with a blurred and hazy figure sketched out like a figure in a Chinese painting.

Quinn-To’s expression showed a tinge of discomfort, saying dully, "Why are there only these monsters that can’t be chopped to death?"

He would rather fight a Pillar of Flesh and Blood, those massive twisted and deformed mutants, because if they are chopped to pieces, they die. Since entering the Candlefort, Quinn-To hasn’t chopped a single suitable monster—it’s either chopping at rock or an illusion. Even going head-to-head with an Undead Legion would be more satisfying than dealing with them.

The Insectoid Empress has already sensibly stood behind Shawn, as she now roughly understands that she is akin to a ’power bank.’

As for the Butcher, he remains silent, observing everything here as if recalling something.

"It seems like the teacher once came here for further studies."

Shawn looked at the familiar rows of bookshelves, not knowing why it reminded him a little of Lady Hecate’s Maze Library, because the arrangement of the bookshelves was similar. The entire reading room consisted of circular bookshelf arrangements, with a large reading space in the center, and various paintings hung on the surrounding walls. Some were not paintings but appeared even more dangerous.

——Destiny can be broken, but the ordained must be obeyed.

——Ananke.

In the front of the reading room, a sentence was engraved in a pitch-black wall. Shawn watched it with a serious expression, slowly saying, "Ananke, the personification of necessity, fate, and inevitability in Greek Mythology, represented as a goddess holding a spindle. Gods can break the shackles of destiny, but the ordained and the inevitable must be adhered to. Her will is that everything, including Chaos-Khaos, must submit and is powerless to change.

She is an existence beyond all.

She is regarded as the goddess most powerful in controlling all ordinances, fate, destiny, and elements of time. Therefore, both gods and mortals revere her."

Shawn’s words left others present looking shocked, even slightly in awe, because seeing such an abrupt sentence in a reading room obviously wasn’t a good omen.

"Ananke is regarded as one of the triple aspects of the Night Goddess Nix. Nix has three different identities, represented as: the Goddess of Inevitable Destiny—Ananke, Goddess of Natural Law—Adrasteia, and the Goddess of Cause and Fate—Hermes."

Shawn continued, "In Greek Mythology, the first Divine Spirit to break fate was Zeus."

The Titans.

Existed even older than them, as these were manifestations of the oldest primal gods, embodiments of chaos, sky, earth, ocean, daylight, night, and other concepts.

Lady Hecate is also a triple goddess.

The true name of the teacher Shawn doesn’t know, but Hecate is a significant Titan goddess in the pre-Olympic Pantheon according to Greek Mythology. She is a great goddess, the triple goddess of opportunity, the magic goddess, the queen of ghosts, and the goddess of hell.

After understanding the Bizarre Realm enough, Shawn knew the power of ’reputable names.’

On the side wall of the reading room, Shawn could see twelve completely empty frames, with nothing inside, showing no eerie traces. Yet in such a place, a display of twelve empty frames is already very uncanny.

The Butcher’s low voice sounded, "Olympus Twelve Main Gods."

Twelve has a special meaning in the Bizarre Realm.

The protection of the Realm of Reality is the Clockwork Nirvana Twelve Realms. Humans visit the twelve Mythical Paths, and the barriers of the real world are also divided according to the Zodiac. Shawn knew from early on that the tombs in the Dorne Region represented ’Scorpio Palace,’ symbolizing death, although the scorpio symbolized not only death but also the growth and transformation achieved from death. This Zodiac is like the twelve markers on a clock, as for the forcedly slumbering Mr. Gate, representing the axis fixing the clock hand.

After Aemon opened the path of Laws, in reality, the Clockwork Nirvana Twelve Realms are no longer as solid as before.

——Spiritual Vision!

Open!

Shawn’s gaze fell upon these blank spots, stepping over one by one, saying faintly, "Sky, Earth, Ocean."

"Nature, Life, Death."

"Wisdom, War, Love."

Upon reaching the last three blank spots, Shawn suddenly fell silent, because the divine positions of the Twelve Main Gods were not complete, or rather, they were not yet ordained. Shawn seemed to see Artisan, Fire, and Forging, saw the threads weaving destiny, saw Carnival, Art, and Wine, saw the Sun, Moon, and Stars, saw Agriculture, Home, and Commerce, etc.
