At this very moment, somewhere at the bottom of the palace.

Brandon sat in the main seat, surrounded by Roland, Thanatos, Streif, and a newcomer.

【Taro Balls Aren't Round lv.50】

After seeing that the key figures had all arrived, Brandon spoke up.

"You are all people of the Wheel of Fortune, and this is our first group meeting. Feel free to share your thoughts and get to know each other."

As he spoke, Brandon looked at the other empty seats.

Apart from Artorias and Edward, who need to stay behind in the Audu Empire, everyone else is still on their way.

However, the little guy who sneaked out and thought he hadn't been discovered had a different story.

"Once everyone else has arrived, we can formally formulate our next course of action. Before that, I need to get to know this young man better."

Seeing Brandon pointing at him, Taro Ball pondered for a moment before standing up.

"Hmm... You can call me Taro Ball, that is indeed my real name. I have only one purpose in coming here, and that is to hope that you can help me become the chosen one of the travelers."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

At that moment, Streif secretly poked the taro ball.

"Hey...bro, you didn't tell me about this before..."

"Snap"

Brandon clapped softly, breaking the silence.

"As expected, those who can get into this place are no ordinary people. This taro ball guy started by talking about changing fate. I wonder what reasons you can give us to help you fulfill your dream?"

In response to Brandon's question, Taro Ball spoke up.

"The vacancy for the Traveler's Side's Chosen One is currently vacant and will not return for at least thirty days. We can seize this position before then."

Furthermore, my ability is reverse analysis, which allows me to utilize a lot of power, making me quite suitable for this position.

Brandon pondered for a moment after hearing the explanation about taro balls.

"Then could you explain further why we chose you, instead of waiting for the chosen one in thirty days?"

Taro Ball downplayed Brandon's question.

"It's very simple, because the traveler who is about to return is none other than the Chaos Lord you all know."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room quieted down again.

At this point, Taro Ball continued.

"If it's Mr. Thanatos, he should know the secret that the Chaos Lord has more than one body, and that each body possesses extremely rich abilities."

Among them is a body possessing the qualifications of a traveler, placed in another dimension. Once that body returns to the present world, it will merge with other bodies, becoming an extremely powerful being.

At this point, Taro Ball paused for a moment.

"At that time, you will be facing an existence that can easily unleash a world-ending disaster. Even if you can destroy him, you will still have to deal with a world on the verge of collapse."

Upon hearing this, Brandon asked again.

"Then how can you ensure that you are someone who can be entrusted with something?"

Taro Ball was prepared for Brandon's questioning.

"Besides these, I also know the whereabouts of the other two knights."

Before he finished speaking, Thanatos responded on Brandon's behalf.

"Sure, after this meeting, just tell me your plan and I'll help you implement it."

Seeing that no one else objected, Yuyuan nodded gently.

"OK."

After saying that, Yuyuan sat back down in her seat.

Apart from him, everyone else present was a terrifying being far more powerful than him.

Even Roland, who was the lowest-ranking alchemist, was the most powerful alchemist of this era.

In comparison, his level of 50 seemed exceptionally weak.

But in the current situation, his weakness has become his advantage.

Faced with a huge disparity in combat power, Yuyuan couldn't lie to them, which saved him a lot of trouble explaining.

After the taro ball incident was over, Brandon spoke again.

"Next, let's invite Master Roland to announce his plan. By the way, this is also a deal I just made with him."

As Brandon introduced them, Roland stood up.

"I'll keep it short. I hope everyone here can help me return to the World Tree and sever the branches of rules that shackle alchemists."

Like the taro balls, Roland's request was not simple either.

Severing the rule branches of the World Tree is even more direct and brutal than demanding that Taro Ball replace the Child of Destiny.

Streif was somewhat puzzled when he heard Roland's request.

"I've heard of the World Tree, but what exactly is this Alchemist's Shackles?"

Roland answered Strayff's question.

"A hundred years ago, I reached the limits of what alchemists can achieve today, and I even saw the legendary World Tree."

Based on what I've seen, I understand that the shackles were set up by a true god 30 million years ago. Alchemy was incredibly advanced at that time, to the point that even mortals possessed the power to oppose the true god.

For this reason, the true god locked the upper limit of alchemists on the World Tree, preventing them from ever breaking through to demigod status, and ultimately further suppressed this level.

According to Roland, if we interpret this in terms of game rules, it means that alchemists have gained a level 90 restriction that prevents them from breaking through.

This is also why Roland, the world's strongest alchemist, is only level 89.

Originally, this shackle was meant to be a challenge for Edward, as the designated core protagonist of the original world, he was bound to come into contact with the secrets of this world.

Coupled with Edward's extreme talent, as long as he successfully overcomes this challenge, the opportunities that follow will surely be enough to propel him to new heights, making him the most prominent of the nine chosen ones.

However, all of this was completely messed up by Xie Bai's forceful interference.

The challenge that was originally meant for him has now been turned into part of Xie Bai's plan by the wheel of fate.

As Roland explained the shackles, Taro Ball spoke up.

"It just so happens that my plans also include a trip to the World Tree. How about we combine our efforts, Mr. Thanatos?"

Thanatos nodded in response to Taro Ball's request.

"Can."

After saying that, Thanatos looked at Brandon.

"I'll lead this team. If nothing unexpected happens, the World Tree should still be at the bottom of the Heavenly Mountain."

You must have taken these factors into account when you made the deal with Roland, since this way you could maximize your gains from conquering the Holy Church.

Brandon nodded slightly in response to Thanatos's question.

"That's right. Besides, you should have finished infiltrating the Holy Church. Everything is almost ready. I plan to launch the Holy Church's campaign after that person returns."

After all, the other side has the backing of the Angel Clan and a foundation spanning thirty million years. Eliminating them would be no easy task. With that esteemed person backing them up, I feel more at ease.

After saying that, Brandon returned to his seat.

"Alright, we've covered some of the more confidential information. Now it's time to develop a detailed action plan. Luckily, the others have arrived now."
