Chapter 2: Pay resources equivalent to (current bearing capacity strength × 3), using monetary or material resources to offset the negative consequences brought by the fate-causal ability this time (the minimum value of resources paid is estimated at 12,000 Soul Coins, with the maximum determined by the ability's upper limit). The resources paid this way will appear within 2 meters of the equipment holder after a delay of 1 to 5 minutes.
Tip: Due to the particularity of this ability, you can use an Origin-level equipment with no special traits to transfer this ability from Fate Dominator to that traitless Origin-level equipment. This will allow the traitless Origin-level equipment to inherit this ability and provide a certain degree of enhancement to it.
Description: Rescuing fortune from the brink of disaster, but occasional helplessness is unavoidable.
Rating: 3000+++ (Origin-level equipment rating ranges from 1500 to 3000 points).
Price: Unsellable.

After absorbing a large amount of divine blood, Fate Dominator has been significantly enhanced. Not to mention other aspects, just the increase in the upper limit of "Strong One's Name" by three slots is a tremendous improvement. This indicates that Fate Dominator's potential is not limited to Origin-level; it has a chance to reach even higher ranks.
Aside from the increased carrying capacity of "Strong One's Name," the new ability gained by Fate Dominator is quite interesting. First, let's talk about the characteristic of this ability. In short, when a fate or causality-type contractor or transcendent being uses such abilities against Su Xiao in the shadows, they will suffer backlash, meaning they will bear the effects of the ability they themselves cast.
If the backlash were of normal intensity, it would be manageable. But this backlash is amplified 5 to 10 times by the Law-Destruction fortune. For example, if the original ability was to reduce 10 points of Luck Attribute and cause a lightning strike, after the enhanced backlash, it would become a reduction of 50 points of Luck and five lightning strikes—absolutely devastating.
If one wants to avoid this backlash, there is a way: by paying sufficient resources as a price, the backlash effect can be negated.
What's even more interesting is that although this ability is generated by Fate Dominator, Fate Dominator only temporarily carries it. If Su Xiao obtains a traitless Origin-level equipment with a rating reaching Origin-level, he can transfer this ability to that traitless equipment.
It's unlikely to purchase such equipment through normal means. If it can be bought, it would have to be from Goblin merchants.
To obtain such equipment more reliably, one would need to seek out the Demon Blacksmith for forging. This blacksmith is capable of forging even an Origin-level, full-rating scabbard.
Su Xiao looked at the Goddess of Fortune, who nodded, indicating she was ready to help Su Xiao enhance his fortune at any time.
"Let's begin."
"Alright."
Kaiser came to the center of the formation. He muttered something for a while, took out a statue of the Radiance God, placed it in front of him, then retrieved the [Deceiver's Headwrap], put it on his head, and began impersonating a devout follower of the Radiance God.
According to the Goddess of Fortune, a god's divine realm is actually a sufficiently large and stable space. It could be a misty land or the interior of a magnificent temple. The exact appearance is determined by the god themselves.
The confirmed information at present is that the Radiance God is within his own divine realm. The reason is that the spatial fluctuations triggered by Kaiser activating this sacrificial formation were both distant and still within this world. With Baha's spatial ability expertise, he quickly detected that the place resonating with the formation was an independent space, seemingly a grand hall or temple of some kind.
With this information confirmed, Kaiser, wearing the [Deceiver's Headwrap] and impersonating a follower of the Radiance God, continued praying in Goblin language. However, aside from himself, no one could understand his Goblin speech.
Kaiser prayed for over ten minutes. After initially deceiving the Radiance God into believing he was a devout follower, this scoundrel immediately took out the Abyssal Jar, put it on his head, merged man and jar, and then shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Open!!"
A spatial vortex appeared in front of them. This was Kaiser's goal: forced sacrifice.
What is forced sacrifice? This first requires an understanding of normal sacrifices to gods. The normal sacrifice procedure is: first set up the ritual, then present the offering. If the god is satisfied with the offering, the sacrifice begins, and the god receives the offering. This is the normal process.
Kaiser's version of forced sacrifice, however, is: Kaiser presents the offering, and the god on the other side immediately receives it, completely skipping all other steps. As for the god on the other side not wanting to accept it? Sorry, this is a forced sacrifice—there is no option to refuse.
At first glance, this might seem unremarkable. But at this moment, in front of the millstone-sized spatial vortex formed by the sacrificial ritual, Kaiser had already taken off one shoe, pulled out several small bottles, and poured suspicious dung-yellow powder and blackened mucus into the shoe. Within a few seconds, a yellow smoke rose from it. This wasn't the end; Kaiser extracted some energy from the Abyssal Jar and gave the shoe an extreme enhancement.
After doing all this, Kaiser tossed the shoe into the spatial vortex. The next instant, the object appeared in the temple where the Radiance God resided.
The spatial vortex was calm for a few seconds. Then, Su Xiao felt the ruins building they were in begin to tremble due to the spatial vortex. Faint shouts of anger could even be heard from within the vortex. Needless to say, the Radiance God was extremely furious at this moment.
Seeing this scene, Kaiser sighed and threw the other prepared shoe into the vortex as well. This caused the spatial vortex to shake so violently that it began to show afterimages.
The Goddess of Fortune watched this scene with a grave expression. She muttered, "This... this is too ruthless."
No sooner had she spoken than she saw Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and Baha each holding a Blazing Sun's Wrath: Apollo, tossing one activated Apollo after another into the spatial vortex.
After waiting for a moment, Su Xiao took out the Soul Crown and threw it inside. The next instant, the constantly trembling spatial vortex suddenly came to a halt.
