I Became a Foreign Worker Loved by Transcendents Chapter 21: The First Is Chance, The Second Is Fate

Fortune teller Airi Haven.

The last descendant of the God of Destruction, she ca to this land with a mission and etched the horrific scene shown in the crystal ball into her eyes, holding her breath.

A scene of everything in sight burning and collapsing.

But among them, what particularly caught her eye was the gray dust covering the ruins, of which not everything had burned yet.

Was it sand or ash?

Whatever it was, it could also be a clue to the one that caused this scene.

Such an absurd thing to suddenly occur, altering even the existing future

Events like this dont usually happen.

For an event that devastated a whole country to occur, there must be preceding signs, and a fortune tellers foresight takes all such signs into account.

The fact that the future she foresaw changed in an instant ant that the other party suddenly decided to act without giving ti for such signs to appear.

It was so sudden that even the being beyond the vast universe, who revealed prophecies to her, only just noticed.

Ancestor, is this the future you foresaw?

The Goddess of Destruction, Angolmois.

A being who descended to this land long ago to destroy the world as per a prophecy but ascended back to the heavens for so reason.

Her bloodline remained on this land, and as a result of the Goddess of Destructions union with humans, her descendants gathered their powers to bestow upon her.

Indeed, she was in a state of having awakened powers similar to those of Haven, the first demi-god.

Being born with such powers, she knew.

The ability of her clan to read the movents of the stars was valid because of the intervention of the Goddess of Destruction, beyond this world.

Oh Goddess of Destruction.

Airi, sensing such intervention, soon gathered her power into the crystal ball to communicate with her.

Until now, our clan has only been able to read the movents of the stars and see the future, not understanding how to modify it in the desired direction.

Even if the future could be changed, fate would split into countless paths at every mont.

With their powers fading through generations, it beca challenging to find the correct path of fate.

Even now, with their powers combined, they were still limited to discerning the way forward to the future they sought through sentences or blurry scenes.

It was as if they were not directly confirming the possibility but rather as if soone was indirectly conveying that fact.

We have gathered our powers to prevent the imminent doom of this land. Originally ant for destruction by your hands, we now seek a different path, diverging from the mont of destruction we foresaw and intended to retreat from.

The ability to read the future and teach ways to alter it is only possible because a being, whom we may call a Goddess, watches over this land.

Having realized this, Airi, akin to the first demi-god, who had long harbored this question, seized the mont to ask,

Have you continually given us revelations to prevent annihilation because you also wish for this land not to be destroyed?

[]

There was no answer in return.

Yet, Airi asked again.

Or, do you see the struggles of your descendants as re amusent, believing that the future is predetermined regardless of our struggles?

Despite feeling her presence each ti she read the movents of the stars, she couldnt fully bring herself to trust her.

After all, her very existence had longed for the destruction of this land.

Even the intention behind creating her bloodline through a human on this land could have been just a diversion. How could she, raised as a human, unconditionally trust her intentions?

Is this altered future one that will soon happen if I do not intervene?

Still, she asked her earnestly.

Not knowing her intentions or feelings but wondering if they, re mortals, had the right to struggle.

[Yes.]

When the answer appeared in the crystal ball, Airi let out a heavy breath and put strength into her hands.

Still not knowing her full intentions, Airi found solace in a partial answer about the power to read the future.

For now, that would suffice.

If it were a responsibility she bore, she would follow and change as much as she could.

Such a future is too sudden, but I cant entirely bla her for it.

With her thoughts collected, Airi once again beca fixated on the tragic scene displayed in the crystal ball.

The future, as revealed by the movents of the stars, was precisely the outco predicted by the Goddess of Destruction, who watched over this land from the universe.

Did the future suddenly change because of an error in her judgnt?

No, that wasnt it.

Having communicated with her and perceived her vastness, Airi believed that, as an absurd being, she could instantly account for any changes in the outcos.

This was, after all, the caprice of entities known as transcendents by the Haven Clan, whose actions even she found difficult to forecast.

The results she gives us are like soone using a magnifying glass to watch an anthill and then writing a journal.

They would observe the ants behavior and ticulously record their findings.

Once enough data had been collected, one could roughly predict the entire ecology and processes within the anthill without examining each sectionjust a glance at the compartnts would suffice.

Even a re human could achieve that, so predicting the future of a single planet should be effortless for a God.

But thats only true for a normal ecology. No matter how controlled the observation environnt, variables can always erge.

What would happen if an unexpected mutation appeared in that anthill?

Or if a natural predator infiltrated from outside or if disasters like torrential rains or earthquakes struck?

Such variables would complicate predictions and could lead the observer to discard or completely revise their accumulated data.

Thus, the imdiate reflection of these alterations was a drastic change in the future.

The term transcendents, as interpreted by the Haven Clan, referred to beings who acted unpredictably and without any specific forewarnings, thereby defying the anticipations of the Gods observing them.

Of course, after noticing such whims, she would make adjustnts. Given the influence to drastically alter the future, reading signs from that mont would be easy for her.

The crucial question was, to what extent could she, who had beco aware of such a future, change it?

Ironically, as a fortune teller, she could read the future but had limitations in changing it with her own hands.

To overco this limit, help from others was essential, but as was often the case with fortune tellers, gaining trust from ordinary people was not easy.

Even if she told the truth, if it wasnt what people wanted to hear, they accused her of fraud and rumors. Often, those who pretended to comply betrayed her, adding to the challenges she faced.

Oh great ancestor.

But now, she was in a state akin to the first demi-god.

Her power went beyond reading the movents of the stars to communicating with the Goddess of Destruction, who possessed the power to read fate.

As your descendant, I dare to ask. If my voice reaches you, teach how to avoid the future that is now revealed to .

The mont a bright light shone on the crystal ball, it responded to her intense prayer.

The ritual interfered with the universe beyond the clear skies, eventually reaching the remnants of the Goddess of Destruction and leading to communication with her.

[Wait. Then you shall et.]

It was just a fragnted ssage.

et? Who do you an?

[You will know when the ti cos.]

That was the end of the ssage.

Feeling drained the mont she withdrew her power from the crystal ball, Airi furrowed her brows and sighed deeply.

More specific questions might have brought more precise answers, but my powers are not infinite.

Reading re movents didnt deplete much power, but what she aid for was to accurately discern her desired future among countless possible fates.

Even reading about a predetermined future was challenging, let alone pinpointing the path designated by the Goddess of Destructions answer among nurous fates.

She was also aware of such limitations and condensed her responses as much as possible to convey her intentions to her.

But if that is the answer youve given then I will choose to believe it.

Her revelations had always been accurate, except when altered by the whims of the transcendents.

Thus, sitting quietly in her place, following her ssage, she soon noticed soone approaching from a distance.

A man road the streets, clad in splendid armor, with a lance that had a bluish blade slung over his back.

The mont Airi set eyes on him, she instantly guessed. Yes, this man was the protagonist of the revelation she had received.

Hey, passing adventurer. Could you co here Oh?

She had barely opened her mouth to call him when, upon recognizing his presence, familiar images began to surface in Airis mind.

It was a natural ability of the Haven Clan to faintly perceive the experiences or mories of soone just by facing them.

While not delving deep yielded only brief glimpses, the more vividly she rembered that person, the more clearly she could discern them, as if docunted in records.

From personal details to chronic concerns and even the issues that he was seriously considering at the mont.

Uh, you are?

Huh?

The man, recognizing Airi from the past, approached her with a dazed expression.

Although she recognized him imdiately, the man could not recall her right away, tilting his head in confusion.

Hmm? Ive seen you sowhere, but who are you?

Of course.

It had been several weeks since they had parted ways.

She should have forgotten him too, but

Wow, wow

Why was it?

Since that day, whenever she was not conscious of other things, she kept thinking about him.
