God 232


    Chapter 232 The Fate Staff


    Osborne’s gaze fell upon the pile of shattered statues. To his surprise, he spotted what looked like a


    staff among the debris.

    rissa noticed it,


    Her eyes widened in shock when she recognized the staff. “The Fate Staff!”


    “The Fate Staff?” Osborne echoed, his curiosity piqued


    1/2


    With a flick of his ocr energy, a rod approximately a foot long floated up from the fragments. It


    had a rustic, ancient appearance, half ck and half white as if it had been forged by time itself,


    At the


    e top, an intricate figure of a winged deity stood–its features were gone, yet Osbome felt an


    unmistakable resemnce to rissa.


    “rissa, do you know this?”


    rissa nodded vigorously. “In my sudden influx of memories, there is some information about it,


    but it’s sparse. All I know is that it’s called the Fate Staff, a divine artifact said to have once


    belonged to the God of Destiny. Beyond that, I’m in the dark.”


    “Divine artifacts?”


    Osborne’s eyes went wide. Those were rarer and far more powerful than ancient magic weapons,


    crafted by no ordinary being–shrouded in mystery.


    Some whispered that divine artifacts were formed from the very essence of the earth, while others


    imed they were remnants of long lost deities.


    One thing was for sure. Divine artifacts were immensely powerful.


    Until now, Osborne had only heard of one–Cain’s Blood Cross. Legend had it that Cain was the


    progenitor of Vampires, heralded as the God of Darkness.


    The Blood Cross was his weapon.


    The one Osborne possessed, now inked as a tattoo on his chest, was perhaps a divine artifact in its


    own right, but he wasn’t certain.


    Yet herey the Fate Staff–an authentic divine artifact.


    A greedy desire welled up inside him; who wouldn’t want to possess something so powerful? But


    Osborne reigned in his ambition, channeling his ocr energy to present the Fate Staff to rissa


    instead.


    “Here, take it. It feels like it belongs in your hands. Only you can truly unlock its potential.”


    rissa was taken aback.


    “You’re


    re giving this to me? It’s a divine artifact!”


    Osborne’s expression softened, “I believe it suits you better. You’re the Fatebearer of the Radcliffe


    family, after all. Perhaps this is its rightful ce.”


    Overwhelmed, rissa felt emotions swell within her.


    The statues had been Osborne’s conquest, and he was the one who discovered the Fate Staff.


    Everything rightfully belonged to him. If he wanted it, she would have no objections


    Yet, there was an undeniable attraction pulling her toward the staff.


    Despite her feelings, she would never have dared to ask for it, fully aware of the value of divine


    artifacts–especially one as significant as the Fate Staff


    But here was Osbome, willingly offering it to her!


    Tears welled up in her eyes as gratitude washed over her. Unable to o


    contain herself, rissa stepped closer and enveloped ham in a heartfelt

    embrace, the kind that spoke volumes of her feelings.

    She rose up on her toes, leaning in to ce a sweet kiss on his lips.

    Caught off guard but pleasantly surprised. Osborne responded, their lips entwining as his tongue


    danced with hers, sending blushes blooming on rissa’s cheeks.


    But she didn’t pull away; instead, she melted into the kiss, eyes fluttering shut.


    After what felt like an eternity, they finally parted, strands of shimmering saliva threading between


    them.


    With her cheeks still flushed, rissa lowered her gaze, unable to meet Osborne’s eyes.


    “Osborne, we should let everyone know about us. I don’t want to hide anymore. I want to shout


    from the rooftops that I like you–I want the world tosow I’m your girlfriend!”


    She looked up. her eyes shimmering with hope, but Osborne stood frozen in surprise.


    Announcing their rtionship to everyone was a topic Osborne had been mulling over himself.


    The fourth trial from the Godfather required him to pursue rissa and make her his woman.


    But the specifics of what constituted pletion” were quite vague.


    On the surface, rissa was already his girlfriend–he had won her heart. Yet, the fourth trial


    seemed far fromplete.


    Osborne even wondered if the trial was only considered finished after they had consummated their


    rtionship.


    However, he quickly dismissed this notion.


    He reasoned that the reason his trial wasn’tpleted was that their rtionship had not been


    publicly dered


    To truly finish the task, Osborne needed to make their rtionship known to everyone.


    Osborne was in a dilemma, unsure of how to proceed, when rissa took the initiative to suggest


    announcing their rtionship.


    “rissa, have you thought this through? Announcing our rtionship will bring a lot of pressure.


    You know as well as I do that your won’t exactly be thrilled about this.”


    rissa bit her lip, determination in her eyes. “Osborne, I’ve made up my mind. I don’t care what


    others think or say. I want to be with you, no matter what.


    “We should announce it! I’m ready to face whateveres our way. In the past, I didn’t have the


    strength to support you, so I hesitated to push for a public deration. But now, I’m capable of


    standing on my own. I can share the burden with you.


    “So let’s go ahead and make it official!”
