Chapter 159: Tai Ji!
"If there's a way, just show it directly!"
It seemed that Matthew's call had been heard.
The "Data Dispy" from the passive ability of the Legendary Feat - Fate's Choice again gave a prompt.
"Ding, would you like to e 40,000 experience points and 5,000 Fate s tthen the Legendary Feat - Fate's Choice?"
"This appetite is truly enormous!"
Rubbing his fiips, Matthew shook his head helplessly.
He onaively thought that he could trol his own fate through his own efforts without relying on this ability.
Now it seems his efforts weren't enough!
Firmly remembering this moment, Matthew chose to agree.
After all, the sense of crisis was growing stronger, as if it was about to bee reality.
Matthew didn't dare gamble with his life, just like when he first arrived in this world—if he chose wrong, he would face the despair of a bck dragon's breath!
A dazzling blue light began to gradually radiate from Matthew's body.
Yaya also saw this se, sensing the om danger, and uatingly moved closer.
The blue light enveloped them both entirely.
To Matthew's surprise, this time, he could clearly "see" the ges.
The flickering blue light slowly surrounded his soul, attempting to remodel it once again.
However, what made Matthew uneasy was that the deadly threat did not dissipate as the blue light approached.
Instead, it reached a peak that made his soul tremble!
Matthew suddenly widened his eyes, only to see that the blue light surging forward was not ag on the soul adorned with spell runes and model patterns, but rather aiming directly at the depths of his soul!
There was something there!
Something was dev the power of the Fate s!
Matthew shuddered, staring bnkly at the gradually thiing blue threads.
They inated from the depths of his soul, and upon closer iion, at the source of the blue threads, he saw a twisted face!
It was her than the goddess of fate, Tai Ji, whom Matthew had once killed and dragged down with him!
A fsh of lightning streaked through his mind, and Matthew finally uood.
The oddities in his thoughts and as over the past two days, as well as the various ces he'd entered, all stemmed from the same pce.
Tai Ji's primal power was fate itself, and the silent design was her handiwork!
Matthew had been careless!
The smooth journey so far had made him feel uneasy, yet he couldn't pinpoint where the danger was ing from.
And now, Tai Ji had finally obtained what she wanted!
"The power to alter the fate of 5,000 lives!"
The dazzling blue light was gradually being absorbed by Tai Ji.
Her once broken form was being clearer.
It was an inparably beautiful face, unfettable at first gnce, deeply captivating.
Only her eyes were filled with endless venom.
She let out a sharp roar that echoed in Matthew's sea of sciousness:
"Damn and lowly mortal, how dare you? How dare you it the sin of deicide?"
Matthew cracked a smile, calm yet fident, and spoke softly with tranquility:
"You want me dead, so I dare to take your life!"
"This is true fairness, this is fate itself!"
Even though he realized something was wrong, Matthew would never admit defeat in front of her.
He tried to open his eyes and leave his meditative state.
But the surging blue light firmly trapped his sciousness, making it impossible to trol his body.
The power of fate, which had always been Matthew's trump card and cheat, finally revealed its price!
The more blue light it absorbed, the more Tai Ji's once dissipated body began to ma.
Hearing Matthew's reply, and recalling her own torment and suffering, Tai Ji let out a hysterical roar:
"How dare you speak of fate santly!"
"You are nothing but a mere mortal!"
Surrounded by the blue light, Tai Ji charged fiercely towards Matthew's sciousness.
Matthew tried to dodge but was trapped in the o of sciousness, with no room to escape!
He watched helplessly as Tai Ji's grotesque and twisted face collided with him!
Boom!
At the moment of tact, Matthew's visio bck.
He felt a sharp blow to his thoughts, as terrifying pain and endless agony spread from Tai Ji's body.
Matthew felt an unspeakable scorg heat, along with an inparable, terrifying pressure crushing his body bit by bit.
Yet, his body was incredibly resilient, and in this repeated tearing and grinding, endless pain was born.
Tai Ji's once venomous expression suddenly vanished.
Repced by an indescribable joy, she ughed wildly at the sight of Matthew's pained sciousness:
"Does it hurt? Does it ache? What you're feeling is but a fra of what I've endured."
"But don't worry, oake over your body, we will have all the time in the world to talk!"
"Speaking of which, I should thank you."
"You allowed me to cross the true river of fate, to undergo fate's baptism, and bee a true goddess of fate."
"Ha, I almost hear fate ughing!"
"Hahaha...!"
As she spoke, Tai Ji's entire body transformed into strands of blue light, seeping into Matthew.
Bit by bit, it began to envelop him, gradually peing deeper.
Matthew was surrounded by pain, and he realized that this was Tai Ji's experience, her memories of torment.
tless fragments of memories turned into chaotic thoughts, stantly b Matthew's sciousness.
This was also a form of attack!
And an exceptionally deadly one!
Matthew struggled, but could only barely hold on amidst the torrent of painful memories.
Tai Ji had existed for an untold number of years, her memories spanning tens of thousands of years, terrifying and vast.
Even though Matthew's mind was sharp, he could only barely hold on in the face of this unpreted memory crush.
What filled Matthew with even more despair was the twisted and terrifying scioushat was slowly creeping into the depths of his mind through Tai Ji's "tentacles."
It was slowly infiltrating, spreading, and dev all his memories, taking trol of his mind.
Unspeakable fear pletely enveloped Matthew.
He could feel that o fully spread, his thoughts, sciousness, memories, and wisdom, even his entire body, would be pletely repced.
What would repce him was the god who had crossed time and space with him, enduring the crushing and grinding of the river of time, yet still not dying—Tai Ji!
A genderless voice echoed yer upon yer in Matthew's sciousness, filled with joy and the arroganpendih:
"Don't worry, I will i everything from you!"
"Your thoughts, your will, your body, and even your territory!"
"You will be able to clearly see everything I do to them, but you will be powerless to stop it, only able to eernal torment!"
"You, a pathetic mortal!"
"Cry forever!"
"This is your fate!"
"And I will be reborn in this world, being the master of fate!"
"I am fate!"
