Miller and the others watched the process nervously.
Even though they didn’t understand divination, they could all feel that unsettling mysterious aura in the air.
"Damn, this thing looks like some kind of evil ritual," Blake muttered quietly, unconsciously gripping the War Axe.
"Shut up, Blake," Camilla glared at him, "Any interference could affect the outcome of the divination."
A few minutes later, the bones stopped moving, forming a disturbing pattern on the divination board.
The seven bones created a twisted star shape, but Ron immediately noticed something unusual:
Three bones pointed in the same direction—deeper into the Abyss.
The blood in the divination board began to flow spontaneously.
Blood formed connecting lines between the bones, creating a complex network with the center point exactly corresponding to Ron’s current position.
All the imagery was obscure, requiring the diviner to use their knowledge and intuition for interpretation.
"Let’s start the interpretation..."
Ron stared at the complex pattern, using his astrology knowledge to begin the analysis.
Firstly, the three bones pointing in the same direction, in traditional divination, is known as "fate convergence."
It indicates that the diviner is destined to encounter a significant event in the specified direction, and this encounter is unavoidable, no matter how the course is changed.
But what exactly will be encountered, the bones themselves cannot provide a clear answer.
Ron needed to deduce from other information.
The Corrosion worm bones pointing to the deeper layers signify that this encounter involves decay and rebirth, possibly involving some form of transformation;
The blood-tear flower’s direction suggests a blend of pain and passion, heralding a strong emotional impact;
And the participation of the Mutant Beast bone was most striking, representing rebirth and hope.
"Three distinctly different symbols pointing in the same direction..."
Ron analyzed in his mind:
"This might mean I will encounter a complex being that possesses both destructive and creative traits."
Next was the analysis of the blood-line formed network.
Ron could recognize some traditional symbols among them:
There was a pentagram structure representing protection, hinting at the presence of some protective force;
An infinity symbol representing connection, foreshadowing some form of eternal bond;
And some more complex patterns, seemingly related to lineage, heritage, and identity.
"The network’s center is myself, but the edges extend in multiple different directions..."
Ron continued to interpret:
"This indicates that this event is not just a simple two-sided contact but will involve the participation of other forces."
The pattern formed by blood continued to change.
In the northeast area of the divination board, the blood gathered into a blurred humanoid silhouette.
This silhouette was small, giving a feeling of an embryo or newborn.
But as time passed, this silhouette began to form connections with the surrounding blood lines, as if establishing some kind of special relationship network.
"This should be the symbol of the Stand-In Puppet," Ron’s heartbeat slightly accelerated:
"The blood divination shows that my encounter with the beings in the Abyss is indeed closely related to the puppet."
In this specific context, it might mean the establishment of some special relationship.
As the blood continued to change, more unsettling visions appeared in the divination board.
In the southern region, the blood formed a giant eye shape, surrounded by countless tentacle-like blood lines.
Ron recorded this critical information in his mind.
But what really shocked him was the relationship between this giant eye and the small silhouette.
The blood formed a special connection pattern between them, not a simple straight line, but a spiral bond structure.
In traditional symbolism, this spiral bond carries a very special meaning.
It represents a bloodline relationship, especially a familial bond.
The changes in the blood continued, but the upcoming pattern confused Ron even more.
In the northern region of the divination board, a blurred human silhouette appeared, but this silhouette was distinctly different from himself.
It was more slender, giving a feminine impression.
Moreover, this silhouette was surrounded by red whirlpools representing danger and temptation.
"A third-party force?" Ron frowned, "A female, and with a clear threat."
Even more unsettling, this female silhouette also formed a blood line connection with the central point representing himself.
But this connecting line was dark red, representing blood, conflict, and life-and-death choices in divination.
"Threats will come from multiple directions at once..." Ron began to feel the complexity of the situation.
Soon, warning changes appeared in the divination board.
The blood began to churn violently, forming scenes of intense conflict.
Countless twisted figures battled in a sea of blood, including human shapes and completely unrecognizable alien beings.
The focus of these conflicts was concentrated on a few small silhouettes representing Ron’s teammates.
"If approached in a conventional way..."
He carefully analyzed these unsettling images:
"Miller and the others would become casualties of the conflict; the prophecy is clear, their survival probability is close to zero."
The final image completely confirmed his judgment.
The blood revealed blurred figures of Miller, Blake, Camilla, and others.
But these figures were all surrounded by dense black fog, representing the inevitable arrival of death.
