"Escape Fate?" The masked figure's voice carried a tone of sarcasm, as though the very idea was far-fetched.
"Yes, that's our plan. We're constructing a spaceship to get off this planet. Aren't you trying to escape Fate too?" Aquanos retorted. If the Moonlight Sanctuary was indeed targeted by Fate, it would mean they shared the same enemy—Fate itself.
A cynical mental laugh erupted from the masked figure.
"Hahaha. Don't get me wrong. I'm all for breaking free from Fate, but I'm not about to run and hide," he replied, exuding an air of confidence.
"What do you mean?" King Aquanos asked, seeking clarification.
"Give me the Lapis of Truth, and I'll show you something interesting," the mask figure responded, his thoughts reaching Aquanos's mind.
Aquanos took a moment to absorb the masked figure's offer, his mind processing the implications of his request.
In this tense moment, a fragile balance hung in the air.
