Chapter 359: Lucky Charm
The glowing castle is called the Star Castle. It's the residence of our Lord and his daughter. Now, only the Lord's daughter, Roma, remains living there.
Upon hearing this, Zane looked at the Star Castle once again. He faintly noticed a woman who seemed to be observing him intently as well.
At this moment, the bald Watcher continued to explain:
"Don't be misled by the castle appearing here. In reality, it's located in the [Realm of Omnipresence] and merely overlaps with this domain."
"In the [Realm of Omnipresence], Lord Merlin and his daughter Roma can simultaneously monitor [Universe 618] and all its dimensional universes."
"As for our Domain of Watcher's, it's a unique realm above pocket universes, created by Lord Merlin."
"This domain lies within the chaotic space between [Universe 618] and other dimensional universes."
---
"Hmm, as expected, I'm no longer in my original universe…"
Hearing all this, Zane's head began to spin. He hadn't expected what he thought was merely a residential area to turn out this complicated.
The seasoned bald Watcher, adept at reading people, immediately noticed Zane's distraction and offered him a way out.
"Mr. Zane, you must be tired. Let me escort you to your accommodations for some rest."
The Watcher quickly dispersed the others and personally led Zane forward.
Suddenly, a flash of light swept across the chessboard-like suspended terrain.
The Watcher and Zane arrived in the southwestern region of the domain, amidst a stellar system.
"Mr. Zane, this star system comprises native stars of our Domain of Watcher's."
"Since we occasionally host guests, we carefully selected planets here that have yet to develop intelligent life."
"You are free to choose any of them as your residence."
"If you need anything, you can summon me. I'll take my leave to attend to other matters."
The bald Watcher left behind a sparkling gem for communication, bid farewell to Zane, and vanished in another flash of light.
---
"Their service is quite considerate... letting me freely choose probably to reassure me that they won't be spying on me."
"Well, let's take a look first. There are a few matters I need to settle anyway."
Zane chose a planet resembling Earth and teleported there instantly.
Scanning his surroundings, he found the environment to be quite pleasant, with birds chirping and flowers blooming, free from excessive noise.
On the planet, there was a striking palace, likely prepared by the Watcher as a guest residence.
"Those bald folks aren't too bad..."
"I'll ask them about those new terms they mentioned earlier when the time comes."
"But first, I need to take some precautions and see what surprises the system has in store for me this time..."
With that, Zane teleported straight into the ancient-style palace. After carefully surveying the area, he prepared to activate the system.
After all, an SS-tier lottery opportunity was something worth getting excited about.
Inside the ancient-style palace, the decor was simple yet comprehensive, with certain areas bearing a striking resemblance to places Zane remembered from Earth.
It was almost as if they had known in advance that Zane, an Earthling, would arrive.
This was likely related to Lord Merlin of the Domain of Watcher's, whose nature allowed "time to advance, retreat, and flow laterally" around him.
Zane activated his blood-red triangular spinning [Mangekyō Sharingan], using its innate clairvoyant ability to carefully inspect every corner of the palace.
He then employed his [Mystic Eyes of Death Perception], thoroughly scanning the inner chambers of his residence, ensuring there were no abnormal death lines or points.
This confirmed that no external consciousness was spying on him.
Only then did Zane feel at ease. After all, when traveling in unfamiliar places, caution was never a bad thing.
---
*Whoosh!*
In a flash, Zane teleported into his [Divine Kingdom]. He chose not to greet his companions immediately.
Once again, he meticulously examined himself inside and out, finding nothing unusual.
Zane understood that at the seventh-dimensional level, many individuals possessed so-called pocket dimensions.
Thus, he wasn't particularly concerned about exposing the existence of his [Divine Kingdom] during his time in the palace.
As long as the specifics about his system remained unknown to others, he was fine.
Though some members of the Celestials had previously discerned the system's presence, and the Watchers likely noticed it during his battle with Arishem, Zane was confident they didn't know what the system did or its true purpose.
Standing within his ever-expanding [Divine Kingdom], Zane couldn't help but sigh.
He wondered when his [Divine Kingdom] would grow to the level of a realm like the Domain of Watcher's.
Moreover, he pondered the differences between realms and other pocket universes, deciding to ask the observers about it at some point.
---
At this moment, Zane opened his system panel. To his surprise, the system was unusually patient this time, not immediately initiating the draw.
Since this was his first SS-tier lottery opportunity, Zane wanted to witness the process firsthand.
"System, initiate the draw," Zane commanded directly.
---
[Ding!]
["Please wait, host…"]
The mechanical voice of the system responded:
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully used an SS-tier lottery opportunity and obtained the SS-tier passive skill [100% Lucky Charm]." ]
[Skill Details:]
- [100% Lucky Charm] grants the host a [10-minute Luck Time], during which all probabilistic events will result in favorable outcomes for the host.
- Activation Trigger: A hot dog will randomly appear near the host. Consuming it will activate the skill.
- Cooldown: Unknown.
---
"Hmm…"
It wasn't an active combat skill.
"This [100% Lucky Charm] is a bit quirky, but its guaranteed positive outcomes are undeniably useful," Zane thought to himself.
"If only the duration were longer, it'd be perfect."
