Three Towers Game

Chapter 291 Resonance of Fate
A small sphere radiating tricolor light.

One-third is white, one-third is red, and one-third is black.

It matches the three towers, the three heads of the guide, and the three colors of the inverted dice.

The description of the item is simple—[He removed his own heart, splitting it into three parts, but now, the three parts have come back together, only the item is in someone else's hands.]

This is more like the history of the items, but it doesn't have any functionality.

Wen Xishu knew this from the moment he first acquired the item, and ever since then, he has been trying to find the "instruction manual" for it.

This is the heart of integration.

In Sagittarius's memory, Wen Xishu actually found one way to use the Heart of Fusion.

"How could you have this!" Sagittarius exclaimed in surprise.

He was surprised by the appearance of this thing, and also surprised by his repeated misjudgments of Wen Xishu.

At first, he only cared about one thing: the ability to pull himself out of the chaotic realm.

Three Towers Sequence: Fated Duel.

But as mentioned earlier, even astrology cannot provide a complete picture; some things are hidden very deeply.

Some things can even change the original trajectory.

Wen Xishu has brought too many surprises; he's practically a bug in the system.

A bug that constantly tells you "your common sense might be deceiving you".

Only then did he begin to gaze intently at the Wenxi Tree.

He remembered.

At this moment, Sagittarius fully recalled everything.

I think I once had my eye on the "priest" in that place of obsession.

However, I was in a chaotic realm at the time, and there were many details that I didn't see clearly.

He sensed a familiar presence, and felt that someone who shouldn't be there was there.

“Once a cause and effect are established, even if it is revoked, the connection will remain. I will find you.”

His words from back then resurfaced in my mind.

At that time, Sagittarius was very certain that he was targeting one of his siblings.

Incidentally, I sensed an aura similar to that of Wen Xishu.

He remembered it all.

"You...you're not just a bunker dweller, whose side are you on?"

Sagittarius is still trying to recall the memories of that day.

Who is that?

The pastor was someone they knew well.

The person Wen Xishu summoned at that time seemed to be a familiar person.

Scorpio?

No... no, that area has nothing to do with Scorpio.

Sagittarius is certain that Wen Xishu and Albert are not the same.

Albert has no brothers or sisters; he became powerful solely through Rootar.

But Wen Xishu is definitely not it.

Wen Xishu said:
"Stop guessing, you saw the Heart of Fusion too. Although it takes a long time for the power of the barrage to enter the memories of the gods, I have finally completed it."

"As luck would have it, I know everything about Mr. Jin's plan, your fears, the significance of the Heart of Fusion... and the treaty."

The Heart of Integration has begun to operate.

Sagittarius tried to struggle, but when faced with Albert's fist, he almost gave up and accepted death.

In the end, he even felt a kind of pleasure in watching what choices Albert made.

But now, he's scared.

"That plan isn't ready yet! It can't be used on me!"

Wen Xishu said:
"But we don't have time."

Inside the three-colored sphere, black light began to slowly spread, gradually covering the red and white.

Wen Xishu's hand touched Sagittarius.

Sagittarius tried to struggle, but to no avail, because although Albert was injured and had reached his limit, Albert's fighting spirit was high.

Both were at their limits, one a melee fighter, the other a ranged fighter; one full of fighting spirit, the other panicked and suppressed.

Without a doubt, this was the moment when the difference in their fighting abilities was greatest.

Albert had no idea what Wen Xishu was doing.

In fact, after the battle, he, like Xun Hui and the others, was a complete spectator.

He saw the sphere called the Heart of Fusion pressed against his heart by Wen Xishu.

Then, the three-colored light seemed to materialize, piercing through the flesh of the Wenxi Tree and stitching itself back together with it.

But it wasn't over yet, not long after this process.

The black light almost completely dominated the area, but there were still some red and white lights, like two isolated islands on the Black Sea.

And those dark lights began to connect with Sagittarius, like some kind of parasitic organism.

"Do...do you know...what you're doing?"

Sagittarius is struggling to resist the power of the Heart of Fusion.

But it was all in vain; all he could do was try to disturb Wen Xishu's resolve with words.

It is clear that Yuuki is determined to merge.

"The weak cannot take away my power by using strength to overcome the strong." The archer also realized that his power had not been lost.

My body showed no signs of breaking down.

But then Xi Shu laughed:

"I don't need your power, I just need your destiny."

"We will build a shared destiny."

The content that followed was something Albert neither understood nor could he comprehend.

But Albert was pleased that the Michelia champaca had grown to the point where it could threaten the constellations.

He only saw Sagittarius so terrified when he delivered his final punch.

It is evident that, for Sagittarius, Wen Xishu's current actions are strikingly similar to the final punch that defeated him.

Keep in mind that Wenxi Tree has only been climbing for about half a century.

If Wen Xishu reaches the ninety-seventh floor of the Mysterious Tower like I do, then he must be able to surpass me, right?
This gave Albert hope and a future.

Thirty seconds have passed.

Albert didn't even notice it.

When the black light subsided, the tricolor sphere returned to its initial state...

Sagittarians have an extremely complex gaze.

Wen Xishu said:
"Now, you'd better pray that I don't die, and that I live a good life."

As an archer, he can wield power that transcends space, as well as the power of fate and cause and effect.

For this reason, the archer was well aware that something of his had merged with the Wenxi Tree.

"Fate...resonance."

"You didn't come for my power, you came for our destiny?"

At this point, even Albert realized that thirty seconds wouldn't last that long.

"So, it's time to unravel the mystery? What exactly did you do to him?" Albert asked with a smile.

Wen Xishu said:
"It's a long story, Principal. Let's release him for now. He won't threaten us anymore."

Albert knew that Wen Xishu had his reasons for daring to say that.

Wen Xishu said:
"If I decline, the bunker declines; if the bunker declines, I decline too. Do you understand?"

This was said to the archer.

The shooter had never felt so humiliated:
“I can choose to die. Even if you have the same fate as me, even if you benefit from my death, you still can’t compare to Leon, or to those who are stronger than me.”

Wen Xishu said calmly:
"If you choose death, in my opinion, it is the most foolish decision."

"Indeed, your death will expose humanity to some enemies that are currently invincible."

"But how do you know I don't have a constellation on my back?"

This statement surprised even Albert.

Wen Xishu's rapid progress, the Wen family's collective betrayal, Wen Chaohua's contradictory statements...

All of this is indeed true, and it makes sense if we explain it using external forces like astrology.

Wen Xishu had clearly grasped the essence of psychological suppression.

In the eyes of Sagittarius—

If you humans don't have a constellation behind you, then when I die, the constellation becomes stronger, and your enemies become stronger.

But Wen Xishu went with the flow and frankly admitted, "I have a constellation as my backer. Guess what? You died, he became stronger, and we humans also got better? Guess what? Is that constellation a very powerful one?"
Thinking about it this way, if Sagittarius died, they would just be a complete clown.

Of course, dismantling the psychological advantage is to ensure the shooter's survival.

This will prevent the archer from having thoughts of suicide.

As for why Sagittarius should be allowed to live, it's simple: Wen Xishu is confident that he can control Sagittarius.

"You can go back now. The treaty is null and void from today onwards. In the future, the principal and I will defeat even more constellations."

"Sagittarius, or rather, I should call you... Archer, defeated by humanity, but not humiliated. Today may be the turning point of your destiny."

"Don't you want your long-prepared arrow to strike Leon in the chest?"

I must say, this is a very attractive offer.

Although he was defeated by Albert and fell into the dust, he felt extremely humiliated.

But once you accept this defeat, you can even admire Albert's efforts and willpower.

He even wondered if such a powerful figure had already emerged on the path to godhood within the bunker. Perhaps a collaboration was indeed possible.

After all, even "fate" has been dissolved.

He has now merged his fate with Wen Xishu's, and their destinies have resonated.

Furthermore, since the Heart of Fusion resides in Wen Xishu, Wen Xishu is in a dominant position.

In other words, if Wen Xishu suffers a major misfortune, then his life will also undergo a major misfortune soon afterward.

If Wen Xishu is favored by fate, all the difficulties along the way will be easily resolved, and he will soar to the heavens like a dragon.

He will also be favored by fate, and all difficulties along the way will be easily resolved, like a dragon soaring into the sky.

If Wen Xishu were to meet a fatal fate and die, he too would face a corresponding crisis. He might not die, but it would certainly be a fatal one.

This is the resonance of destiny.

Of course, Wen Xishu could influence him, but he could hardly influence Wen Xishu.

Because the holder of the Heart of Fusion holds the dominant position. The life, death, rise and fall of the person being merged will not interfere with the holder of the Heart of Fusion.

This is the use of the "black" in the Heart of Fusion, the fusion of resonating destinies, which will also have a long interval between fusions.

After establishing a destiny resonance with Sagittarius, Wen Xishu was unable to establish a destiny resonance with anyone else for a long time.

But Sagittarius is the strongest being he can currently encounter.

The Heart of Fusion also has the uses of "red" and "white".

But that requires the "strong" to integrate with the "weak".

Sagittarius looked at Wen Xishu with a complicated expression:
"You already know the most crucial secrets..."

Wen Xishu nodded:

"If you'd like to elaborate, I'd be happy to hear your details."

"I think my friends still have time."

Seeing that Sagittarius remained silent, Wen Xishu was not in a hurry. He spoke in a rather gentle tone:
"Why can't we cooperate with humans? Look, I have this knife, this scale, and this bull horn."

"Guess how many zodiac signs are behind me? Taurus, Scorpio, Libra, they're all probably stronger than you, right?"

"Libra is probably the most hated sign by Leo Leon, but you see, even a strong Leo can't do anything to Libra in a short time."

"You might be thinking that I was used by Scorpio, I was used by Libra, and I was used by Taurus."

"After all, the price of using these items is that they also gain power."

"But how do you know it's not that I'm using them?"

"After all, how to use it, and whose it is used, is all in my hands. I can even exert checks and balances."

Albert was filled with awe, and Xun Hui was also deeply moved.

Wen Xishu's words were directed at the zodiac.

At this moment, he gave the impression of being a behind-the-scenes mastermind stirring up trouble in the Three Towers War.

As for Nissen and Yue Yun, they had already reached the point where their Daoist resolve was somewhat shaken.

Admittedly, neither of them would be jealous of Wen Xishu.

But seeing such a big gap between oneself and one's peers... it's hard not to feel frustrated.

Wen Xishu then said:

"Besides, they aren't my backers. But I can't fully trust you right now, even though we share a common destiny."

Sagittarius was actually persuaded.

“But I can’t help you. I can’t go against my duty just because of your few words. That would put me in a huge crisis.”

"You should know that each zodiac sign has its own authority, and authority also means responsibility."

"I can't possibly use my arrows... to help you bunker people shoot enemies while you're climbing the tower."

Wen Xishu smiled and said:
“Archer, I don’t need that kind of help. What we need is to break the contract for shooting down floors 70 to 75, and to resolve our confusion.”

"From now on, you may not be able to become the bunker people's support, but you are definitely no longer their enemy. That's good, isn't it?"

"At least, you can tell us about Mr. Kim, about you, about the Three Towers War, about the apocalypse."

"Why has the world become like this? What are you doing?"

"What exactly is this curse that forces you to kill each other to become gods, and who bestowed it upon you?"

"If it's just about answering these questions, I don't think it's too difficult for you, is it?"

Sagittarius remained silent for a short while, during which Albert's gaze remained sharp.

Among the many questions raised by Wen Xishu, there were also many that he was eager to know.

Xun Hui had long since transcended the concept of egolessness, and was able to reach some fundamental mysteries halfway through the tower climb, at an age only a quarter of the old headmaster's...

All of this is thanks to Wen Xishu.

Undoubtedly, Wen Xishu learned quite a bit from the comments. And now, these secrets will be revealed by Sagittarius himself.

Sagittarius finally sighed:
“There are some things that you can’t understand even if you know them, and some of the questions you asked are also questions I’m eager to know.”

"The Three Towers War is actually a war to resurrect the gods. This applies to bunkers, to all nations, and to us as well."

"However, we are the first people of this era to be chosen by the power of the Tower. Of course, we are also the most physically compatible with this power."

"Of course, there are other beings in history, such as Cain of Crystal City. Since you were able to obtain the Fated Duel, you must have already met him."
