The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated Chapter 470: [Fate and Logic]

Chapter 470: [Fate and Logic]

“Rumble…”

The large gate, carved with the character “Logic,” slowly closed with a heavy rumbling sound.

The ancient, mysterious aura also disappeared, and the vast plaza returned to silence.

Shien finally ca back to his senses, shaking his head to clear the slight dizziness.

“Are you alright?”

Anima ca to Shien’s side, placing a hand on his shoulder, her eyes still closed, but her concern was evident.

“I’m fine.” Shien seed to feel better, exhaling. He murmured, “What did those words an?”

Anima, who was observing Shien, asked,

“What words?”

Anima looked concerned.

Shien subconsciously wanted to explain to Anima, but stopped himself, not revealing the words Omniis, the Supre God, had said to him.

His intuition told him that it was best not to tell anyone about this.

Shien felt that the words spoken by Omniis weren’t ant for everyone to hear.

Therefore, after so thought, Shien asked Anima, “How long was I inside?”

Inside the inner sanctum, Shien felt like he had been there for a long ti.

But Anima said,

“One minute.” Anima said softly. “The flow of ti inside the inner sanctum is different from the outside world. No matter how long the recipient of enlightennt stays inside, only one minute passes in the outside world.”

“Really?” Shien chuckled. “That’s quite a ntal ti chamber.”

“ntal ti chamber?” Anima asked in confusion. “What’s that?”

“Nothing.” Shien brushed it off and changed the subject. “I think I’ve finished my enlightennt.”

This successfully diverted Anima’s attention.

“How was your harvest?”

Anima asked quickly.

She was curious about how much enlightennt and what gains Shien had obtained in the inner sanctum, given his condition.

If she wasn’t mistaken, his gains should be astonishing.

But it didn’t seem to be an increase in level.

Anima could see with her power that Shien’s level was still fifty-nine, not having increased after entering the inner sanctum.

This ant that Shien’s gains must be in other areas.

Did he learn so new skill?

Or did he gain so unprecedented enlightennt?

Anima was filled with anticipation and curiosity.

However, Shien’s expression was sowhat strange.

Were his gains significant?

They should be considered significant, right?

However…

“Let ask you first, Anima,” Shien said hesitantly, “it’s possible to awaken a Unique Skill in the inner sanctum, right?”

Shien asked this question.

“Yes.” Anima nodded. “In the past, many outstanding humans gained enlightennt regarding Unique Skills in the inner sanctum and awakened their own. This isn’t a secret.” 𝑅𝙖𐌽ỔΒĘȿ

Indeed.

Lucy had also ntioned this, and Shien hadn’t forgotten.

But after confirming this, Shien asked a question that surprised Anima.

“Then, what if… I’m just saying, what if…?” Shien’s expression was still strange as he asked, “If soone has already awakened a Unique Skill, is it possible for them to awaken another one after entering the inner sanctum?”

Anima was stunned.

Awaken another Unique Skill?

Could it be…

“Shien, you…”

Anima’s expression seed to change.

Shien pursed his lips and asked helplessly, “Is it possible?”

Anima was silent.

After a while, Anima spoke softly.

“Theoretically, that’s impossible.” Anima said, “Whether it’s the Divine Race, the human race, or the Demon Race, they can only awaken one Unique Skill in their lifeti. It’s impossible to have a second one.”

“…Is that also true for the Divine Race?” Shien pondered for a mont, then said, “I rember that the Divine Race’s powers are equivalent to the Unique Skills of humans and demons. And among the Divine Race, many goddesses have multiple domains. Doesn’t that an they have multiple powers, multiple Unique Skills?”

If a goddess governed both water and fire, wouldn’t that an she had the power to manipulate both, possessing two Unique Skills?

That’s what Shien ant.

But Anima shook her head.

“Indeed, many goddesses of the Divine Race have multiple domains, but the power that allows them to fulfill their duties is still just one.” Anima explained, “For example, Goddess Lilith. She governs both evil and chaos, and her power is the ability to drive people mad and corrupt them into evil beings. She doesn’t have a second power.”

The implication was that even with different effects, there was still only one Unique Skill.

Take Shien for example. His Unique Skill, [Divine Grace], had multiple effects.

Upon leveling up, all stats increased to their maximum value.

Upon leveling up, the number of skill points gained was maximized.

All skill acquisition conditions were reduced to their minimum.

All skill upgrade conditions were reduced to their minimum.

[Divine Grace] had these four effects, proving that the effects of a Unique Skill weren’t limited to just one.

The Divine Race’s powers were like this. Each goddess only had one. If they had multiple domains, it ant that their power also had multiple effects, allowing them to fulfill the duties of two domains simultaneously.

Therefore…

“All life in this world has the potential to awaken a Unique Skill, but they can only have one.”

Anima looked at Shien and said each word clearly.

“According to this theory, to answer your question, I can only tell you that if soone has already awakened a Unique Skill, then after entering the inner sanctum, it’s impossible for them to awaken another one.”

“At least, in the countless years of Omnipotence, no one has ever awakened two Unique Skills.”

“Including the Three Goddesses, the Six Demon Lords, and the Heroes of all generations.”

These words made Shien speechless.

Shien really wanted to ask, what about the Demon King and the Supre God?

But thinking about it carefully, those two were exceptional existences, probably beyond the concept of Unique Skills.

The Three Goddesses and the Six Demon Lords had surpassed the limits of life, exceeding the level cap of one hundred, and no longer had the concept of levels or skills.

But even beings like the Three Goddesses and the Six Demon Lords still had the concept of Unique Skills, using their power to fight.

Then, for those exceptional existences above the Three Goddesses and the Six Demon Lords, the Demon King and the Supre God, they might not have the concept of Unique Skills, or perhaps they transcended this concept.

For them, one was the ultimate in power, the other the embodint of omnipotence. They didn’t “possess” Unique Skills.

Shien felt that this was the case.

Therefore, he didn’t ask this question.

That realm was too far away from him, even from soone like Anima. Perhaps she herself didn’t know how to answer.

Under such circumstances, Shien gave up on asking.

“Let’s go.” Shien said to Anima. “The purpose of this trip has been achieved. I should go back to Lucy.”

Anima stared intently at Shien, as if trying to see through him.

Shien didn’t say anything more, seemingly lost in thought.

Anima looked at Shien like this for a long ti, then nodded.

“Then let’s go out.”

A gentle smile reappeared on Anima’s face.

“Yes.”

Shien smiled back, calm and composed.

The two then left the plaza together.

Following behind Anima, Shien took one last look at the gate standing in the center of the plaza, then looked into his own mind.

There, a ssage appeared.

==========

[Fate and Logic]

• Unique Skill

• When used, can modify currently possessed skills.

• When used, requires consuming corresponding skill points as a cost.

• When used, only has a certain effect on regular skills.

• When used, amplifies or weakens depending on the modification.

• Permanent effect, cannot be canceled by any ans.

==========

Looking at this ssage, Shien was speechless.

There was only one thing in his mind.

“My cheat ability seems to be getting more and more broken.”

…

Temple, waiting room.

In this hall specifically for waiting, there were no other idle people, only the Holy Sword Knights who ca with Lucy and the priests led by Yuler.

They waited respectfully at the side, listening to the conversation between Lucy and Lildas, seemingly embarrassed.

Shien returned with Anima and imdiately heard this conversation.

“Little Lucy, please don’t marry that bad guy, okay?”

“Goddess Lildas…”

“Promise , he’s really a bad, bad guy.”

“That’s not true, Shien is just…”

“You don’t have to speak up for him. He’s not worth it.”

“But…”

“Just promise . I’m your patron goddess, and the Goddess of Fate. Listening to is definitely right.”

“Sigh…”

Lildas tried to persuade Lucy, making her look troubled and helpless, not knowing what to do.

Shien raised an eyebrow, looking at Lildas, who was badmouthing him and trying to persuade Lucy to “divorce” him, the contemplative look in his eyes disappearing, replaced by amusent.

Shien rushed over and used his iron claw technique, hitting Lildas on the head.

“I was only gone for a while, and you dare to try and steal my wife behind my back?”

Shien began to exert his iron claw technique with all his might.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch…! Let go of ! You insolent fool!”

Lildas cried out.

“Lady Lildas!”

“Goddess Lildas!”

The surrounding people exclaid.

The waiting room instantly beca lively.

“Really…”

Seeing this, Anima smiled wryly for the umpteenth ti.
