Chapter 767 - 625: This is a Game of Strategy
Goddess Tiamat did not expect Amberser to ask about the Goddess of Fate. She pondered for a moment and then replied, "I think the question you are asking is not about the Luck Goddess and Doomed Girl, the Twin Goddesses. You want to know about Their predecessor, the story of the Opportunity Goddess Tika?"
Amberser shook his head and said, "I have heard the story of Her many times. Scholars among mortals say that the Tika Goddess was corroded by the god of corruption and turned into a monster, and was later killed by Serene, splitting into the Luck Goddess and the Doomed Girl, a pair of twin offspring."
"But if the Goddess who controls destiny can be hurt by a thorny rose, then was Tika really destiny itself?"
Diviner Mages are rare, but not one of them has ever given up their quest for the true essence of destiny.
Amberser naturally had heard of the two goddesses, Luck and Misfortune, including their origins and stories.
Legend has it that every influential figure encounters the two goddesses, Luck and Misfortune, at the time of their birth.
The Luck Goddess Temora would take out a Gold Coin bearing her own likeness and play the coin toss game with the Doomed Girl Ben Basa.
If the Doomed Girl could guess the coin’s face correctly, then the newborn would be cursed by her, and if not, would be blessed by the Luck Goddess.
Only a few true Legendary heroes would have the coin stand on its edge during the toss, indicating that neither goddess could intervene in their life, and they could control their own fate.
This story sounds fantastical, but it is precisely because of this widespread tale that all Diviner Mages understand that these two goddesses do not represent true destiny.
