Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 842: Wheel of Fate

The appearance of the wheel immediately caught the attention of everyone present. On the wheel, several sections of varying sizes were divided by fine lines, and inside these sections, inscriptions in Chinese and the language of the Magic Realm etched sentences of words.

Although few Immortal Palace Disciples in the arena recognized the basic plane characters, many had studied Magic Realm characters. Thus, the Immortal Palace meticulously translated these words into commonly used languages of all major planes, displaying them on the light screen. Upon seeing the written text, the audience was instantly abuzz with chatter.

On the wheel, in an area occupying ten percent of the size, it read "Flamel suffers internal injuries due to losing control," and directly opposite this, in an equally sized area, it read "Pei Yan suffers internal injuries due to using supernatural powers excessively." In one area, it said Flamel's next spell will inevitably fail, or Flamel's primal energy will automatically be reduced by half, and so on. Correspondingly, Pei Yan was also to endure equal suffering. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

This was not the most shocking part. What truly baffled people was the extremely small sections on the wheel that bore the words "Flamel dies suddenly" and "Pei Yan dies suddenly." When these almost imperceptible writings were translated, the arena buzzed with discussions, everyone vaguely guessing the purpose of this wheel, yet no one dared to believe it would truly be realized.

"Gu Chu! Is this wheel the unreasonable supernatural power you talked about? Will the selected options truly come to pass once spun?" Jiang Feiyang looked at the wheel immediately associating it with what Gu Shenghui mentioned earlier, asking the question burning in everyone's heart.

Seeing Gu Shenghui nodding in silent admission, Liang Qian covered her mouth in horror, unable to believe it. "Is it really possible for even sudden death to be directly realized? Both of them are Children of Origin, could it be realized without either suffering major harm?"

"I don't know because there's no precedent for this supernatural ability being used before!" Gu Shenghui hesitated after hearing this and continued, "However, if it truly is selected, it has a high probability of becoming reality. According to Lin Junzhao, if this supernatural ability can be activated during the duel, it shows the gap between the two isn't insurmountable, putting it within the range of this ability's activation! This is the heaven-defying nature of this supernatural ability!"

"I think death isn't a concern for the moment. Look, regardless of Pei Yan or Flamel, the positions for these sudden death options are pitifully small. I believe Pei Yan won't be unlucky enough to select his own sudden death, but the other options are uncertain, and the probability of damage is equally shared between the two! It's entirely a gamble of luck!" Wang Wenze stared at the massive wheel, cold sweat dripping down his forehead as he spoke with worry.

"No! Although the chance of directly selecting Flamel's death is extremely low, the likelihood of selecting Flamel's misfortune is extremely high!" For the first time since the start of the competition, Gu Shenghui showed a rare relaxed smile, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it with a smile,

"Oh! I understand now! Because Pei Yan is the initiator of the supernatural ability, she can cheat!" Jiang Feiyang slammed the railing with excitement.

"No, in this regard, the supernatural ability is fair! Once it starts spinning, Pei Yan can't force the ability to make a choice." Gu Shenghui shook his head, exhaling a smoke ring to deny it.

"Then why? Ah! I understand now, it's because of the coin Pei Yan tossed before!" Wang Wenze was quite puzzled by this explanation, but suddenly recalled Pei Yan's strange behavior earlier, having an epiphany. Seeing Gu Shenghui's smiling face as he looked at the light screen and chose to say no more, Wang Wenze realized he guessed right. But what was the connection between the two?

The wheel was not only seen by the audience outside but was also clearly visible to Flamel in the parallel space. Initially, he felt astonished and puzzled by the inscriptions on the wheel, but he didn't pay much attention. After all, he was entrusted with two lives, and the fusion of two Children of Origin couldn't simply be declared dead by a wheel's inscription!

To achieve this, it would require the personal intervention of the Primal Entity. Bearing this thought, Flamel considered it as Pei Yan's attempt to cause a sensation and lure him into a trap. Just as he was preparing to observe quietly and see what tricks Pei Yan was planning, the wheel, inscribed with their destinies, began to spin slowly under Pei Yan's primal push.

As the wheel rotated, Flamel finally sensed a slight anomaly within his body. Just as he intended to inspect his body closely, Moira's exclamation echoed in his mind.

"Quick! Stop him from spinning that wheel! This wheel holds power similar to my life-bound magic! If he succeeds, we might really be caught!"

Moira's screams startled Flamel, bringing out a cold sweat. He knew what Moira's life-bound magic meant, but could someone from a basic plane possess such power? Was this a misjudgment from Moira?

Hesitation cost him a split second, and by the time he resolved to heed Moira's advice, the gradually slowing wheel finally stopped shaking.

Upon seeing the position of the center pointer after the wheel stopped, Flamel was horrified. He immediately adjusted his primal energy to brace for any eventuality, only to find a strange breath suddenly spawning from nowhere in his body, rampaging wantonly. While still chanting the forbidden spell, he endured such a sudden change, and with blood trickling from his orifices, let out a cry as he tumbled out of the parallel space.

In front of him, the pointer on the wheel unerringly aimed at "Flamel suffers internal injuries due to losing control."

"Looks like my luck is much better than yours!"

Pei Yan's mocking voice reached his ears. When he looked up again, Pei Yan had already vanished from where she stood. Realizing something was amiss, Flamel immediately employed space magic intending to counterattack. However, unexpectedly, the array he had just formed in his hand suddenly dimmed, no longer under his control. Flamel looked up in astonishment to find the wheel had resumed spinning and concluded a second selection. The pointer halted at the option restricting Flamel from using the same type of spell for one hour.

"Damn it! Ugh!" Even before the word "damn" left his lips, Flamel felt as if an elephant had trampled his chest. Amidst a cacophony of fracturing bones, Pei Yan's red-and-white iron fist pierced his body.

"Hey! Do you still think I'm just a brute-force girl now?" Pei Jin's teasing voice came from the mecha. Hearing this, Flamel's body twitched, evidently indicating the other consciousness within him, Moira, was provoked and wished to retort.

"Get back! I'm in control now!" Flamel roared, commanding the restless Moira within him to quiet down.
