Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 340 339: Nina's Mistake?

?"Enter the elevator, and it'll take you to Divine."

As the door to the elevator opened, Corey glanced at it before shifting his gaze back to the Vice-Lord.

"Anything I should know before meeting Divine?"

Corey asked, and the Vice-Lord shrugged.

"Nothing really. The cells of every prisoner here are kept in a different space, so you wouldn't be able to meet any other prisoner aside from Divine." The Vice-Lord paused, and then he glanced at Corey's U-Watch.

"That is, as long as your permit is for Divine's cell and no other prisoner's cell."

Corey glanced at his U-Watch, and then he walked to the elevator. Just as he was about to enter the elevator, he stopped.

"Just out of plain curiosity." Corey paused, and the Vice-Lord raised his brows.

"What would happen if I enter the elevator and I don't have a permit?"

Corey asked, then he turned to the Vice-Lord with an emotionless expression. "Would you be the one to stop me?"

The instant Corey finished speaking, the atmosphere became tense, and the Vice-Lord became expressionless.

He gazed straight into Corey's eyes, and to his surprise and confusion, he felt a strange feeling.

A strange sense of inferiority.

The more he looked into Corey's eyes, the more peculiar the feeling became, and he frowned.

"If you enter without a permit, I won't be the one to stop you. The systems and formations in the elevator and the surroundings would eliminate you to the point where not a single part of your body and soul would exist."

The Vice-Lord spoke calmly and emotionlessly, then a second later, his eyes became cold, and he unleashed a small fraction of his aura.

"Although the systems and formations would kill you, I'll make sure to kill you myself since that means you take me for a fool."

Corey's expression did not change despite the aura of the Vice-Lord. He made a 'Hmm' sound, then he walked into the elevator, which closed a few seconds later.

Seconds passed, and the Vice-Lord did not move an inch from where he stood. His brows were deeply furrowed with visible confusion as he remembered the emotionless eyes of Corey and the strange sense of inferiority he felt.

"Why was I feeling inferior to him?"

He mumbled, and a few seconds later, he shook his head.

"It was most likely a mistake. How can I, a tier 6, feel inferior to a tier 2."

The Vice-Lord released a soft sigh as he came up with a reason for such a feeling. He gave the elevator one last glance then he walked away.

Meanwhile, as Corey stood in the elevator, which felt like it wasn't moving at all, various thoughts came into his mind.

Ever since he arrived in the Central Area of the City of Sin, he observed and became aware of various things.

A few shook him, some gave him some ideas, while some intrigued him.

Currently, the main thing on Corey's mind was the time he felt his luck reduce.

Corey looked at his left palm, and numbers slowly appeared.

Karmic Luck Value → 733.21

'It reduced by 56.21?'

Corey frowned as he looked at his new luck value. His previous natural luck value was 789.42, but now, it was 733.21.

Corey did not know how to feel with this sort of reduction, and he didn't know if the amount removed was small or what it actually meant.

He had not encountered any lucky opportunity, nor did he see any lucky treasure around him. The only thing that came to his mind was that the reason his luck was reduced was because of the appearance of the Vice-Lord.

'My luck reduced after I tried to teleport, and then the Vice-Lord appeared to save me from the Ember Elder.'

Corey's brows furrowed slightly as a pondering expression slowly surfaced on his face.

'I think the reason why the reduction was a lot was maybe because it was a tier 6 that came to save my life, and I'm a tier 2?'

Corey's brows became more furrowed. He rubbed the middle of his brows, and then he released a sigh.

'Am I right Nina?' Corey asked.

[Surprisingly, yes.]

Nina replied with a tinge of surprise in her tone, then she continued:

[The reason your luck was reduced was because your life was in danger, and the amount that got deducted was not even that much, in my opinion.]

[Normally, your luck would have been reduced by more than half because manipulating the thoughts of a tier 6 is not easy, and it requires a lot of energy from the heavens. You're lucky that the tier 6 was affiliated with Divine, which made it easier for his thoughts to be manipulated.]

[Assuming the difference in your tiers was not so much, the amount of luck that was deducted would not be so much.]

Nina said, and Corey's expression became strange.

This was the first time he heard that the thoughts of people could be influenced by the heavens.

Nina only told him that unreasonable events and occurrences could occur when the life of a blessed with enough luck is in danger. She never told him that the thoughts of people could be influenced by the heavens.

His main mind was about to subconsciously have a thought, but he quickly pushed such thoughts to a Star of Consciousness.

He didn't want Nina to hear his thoughts since he felt that she most likely made a mistake with what she just said and that if she knew his thoughts, she would be more careful with her words in the future.

Corey remained silent, and then he looked at the ceiling of the elevator.

"Hopefully, the Emporium manager did not play any tricks on me."

Corey mumbled as he remembered the annoying deal he made with the Emporium manager to get the permit to see Divine.

"Although the deal isn't too disadvantageous for me, I'd have preferred not to make such a deal."

Corey released a sigh, and just as he sighed.

Beep

He heard a beeping sound coming from his U-Watch, and he glanced at it before glancing at the door to the elevator, which opened.
