Chapter 26

  Adele looked at the thread and then said “But you do know, regardless of their image, they aren’t as pure as you make them to be?”

  The thread was confused and made a ? shape.

  “Their kind of prophecy doesn’t require them to be widely known. It’s one thing if all those higher ups of similar strength know them, but look at me… no, look at the mortals outside, even better, visit the Nordic Union.

  They are known everywhere to the mortals and symbolise inevitability. Mut, it seems you weren’t with them for a long time to truly know their colours, so I will tell you. Regardless, looking at how weak you are, I would be surprised if you were allowed to stay with them even a single day longer. These Norns are very cunning.

  Tell me, in all the myths I know, aren’t the heroes and other figures visiting them always looking for an answer? Don’t they also have to pay an extremely high price? Don’t look at the gods stronger than them, even they had to suffer, such as hang themselves from the world tree or give up a physical part of their body, of their divine body.

  Rather, look at the lower figures. These are the key to why the Norns publicised their ability to see the past, analyse the present and spin the future. The strongest of them is naturally the future, this has to do with the laws of destiny, even if it’s said they are equal in strength many times.

  You know that the way to master a law is to fulfil everything about it, and the Norns master the inevitability of fate. Past choses your target, Present baits them and Future drains them.

  Fate isn’t inevitable in the first place, else the law they have wouldn’t be called Inevitability Law but the greater Destiny Law. But, the biggest price of being told the fate by the Norns is that your fate will become inevitable.

  They spin the fate they want, although it is often said that they only show the future, the future is split into thousands of possibilities. They only need to choose the most suitable for them and then tell the requester of this.

  Even if you ignore the ones that directly give up, what about the ones that take this fate with the idea of challenging it? Before, it wouldn’t be difficult, no fate is determined from the beginning but follows the laws of cause and consequence. This changes upon knowing the prophecy – the inevitability law will place a seal upon the prophecy.”

  Adele shook her head. She disliked this when she read about this in the witch records. After all, she had become half a prophet and should know the background. She looked into all the prophets known in the mythology of the world.

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  For this, she can only be thankful. The Aeon Witches are also called the stewards of time, they record any changes in the world since time immemorial. They are truly keystones in the Witch Coven. Regardless of Adele’s corruption by the necklace, she began to appreciate her background more and more.

  On the other side, Mut, who had just heard this, seemed to contemplate. He was confused – why did the Norns throw him away if they were this cunning in the first place? Then he realised, it didn’t change anything that they are cunning. Don’t they still follow the law of inevitability? His core was destined to be against this, the true name ‘Mutabilis’ is truly fitting for him and stabilised his core even more. He spins the fate he wants, forcing fate into his direction.

  Even if there was no possibility of one thing happening in the future of those he spins, he will spin it to be possible. He is vastly different, even the fate he spins will not be fixed, it will still be changeable. Although this might seem to be a disadvantage, it also means that Mut’s ability isn’t to spin a fixed fate but change fate into a certain direction and then let it flow loose.

  For many people, this might be bad. But for witches who always create chaos, this couldn’t be a better ability.

  When she thought of this, Adele calmed down and thought. In the past 5 years, she gradually learned the reason for what kind of chaos she is supposed to create. The spiritual world wants a continuous chaos instead of a chaos that is temporary with the intention of ending it one day, or worse, a monopoly of any party.

  And the party that is taking the monopoly is currently the human race. Regardless of their conflicts, they can all combine together to kill the monsters, currently the monsters are like a farm that is farmed by the humans as long as they can’t expand their hands to other worlds to farm there. Once this is possible, they will kill all the monsters.

  Monsters refer to all non-human in the current world, and in the greater world it refers to any non-sentient race. Generally, the use of the word monsters is rare in the spiritual world because any race that is at a high stage gains sentience, it is rather used to describe the beings that wander in the void sky.

  The real monsters on earth are beasts, they are a rather large faction in the spiritual world, but their number of higher beings is small, since they don’t have high sentience since birth like intellectual races such as humans, elfs, dwarfs, vampires, werewolfs, gnomes, and more.

  Adele’s mission, as she interpreted from the records, is to help the beast race. Apparently, they are suppressed too much in this world and if it goes it, they are likely to stop existing in any form besides mounts in the current timeline of the world.

  She had to help the beast race, and in parts it would probably also be useful to help non-human races. From the records in her family, she actually learned that there were other races, she was just not sure about their existence, at least she didn’t have access to records of a higher level.

  Generally, her rights reached the records on a superficial historical basis, and only when it comes to their ability of prophecy, can she read more information.
