Okay here, we go for the next chapter of The odds were never in my favour.

It's the last chapter before the one which should, hopefully, end the entirety of Arc 4 (also known as Year Four) with a large epic Bang...

Hope everyone will enjoy!

And yes, from that point on, writing will shift to An Impractical Guide to Godhood, beginning next week.

Really nice and that is one evil cliffhanger. I do have some questions : are the South African gov that stupid ? Do you think a nuke would be an appropriate bunker cracker in that category (hoping the ritual is somewhere far far away from people and things that if destroyed would cause a nuclear nightmare) ?Are you going to shatter Fate and distribute it around like candies (after all you can’t be a Champion of something that doesn’t exist) ?

excellent as usual, really the only problem I could find here is that I still have to wait for the sequel. In any case thank you and good luck for the sequel as always I hope the next chapter will arrive soon.

Time for Theory Crafting -> (1) Alexandra has said that Fate is too powerful to be in the hands of a single person whether Dark or Light. (2) The ritual requires 12 virgins untouched by the Dark or Corruption and Susan (3) I believe there are 13 powers or in other words 12+1. (4) There has been a fair amount of Practical Guide influence in this story before. So hear me out the ritual being done is to split the power of Fate across Light and Dark, or to reference Practical Guide; Providence and Calamity. The twelve virgins untouched by the Dark and Corruption and must be willing is to both mirror the twelve other powers beyond Fate and represent Light and Innocence the original Light power.

so I'm confused about something, I thought Ra used up all the power of the Light and of Fate when he fought Osiris and the Great Enemy at the end of chapter 109. "He was laughing, and all that remained of the Power of Fate had been exhausted" and "the Archmage intended to kill her, a Light spell was hurled instinctively. But the deadly incantation spluttered at his feet. Calling Fate one more time after trying to bring down Judgement had emptied the Light well. There wasn't anything left for him to power his attacks."

Now I'm really curious what solution Alexandra has come up with.

Random Thought: I was rereading earlier chapters, and I remembered that Angelica Sforza said to Lily that she left Alexandra alone according to Lily's wishes. It made me wonder what Alexandra could have been if she had been raised by Angelica instead. The survival instinct might be missing, but a real and proper magical education would be there. So many times, it has been Alex's survival instincts that carried her, not education or knowledge. Would Alex still be the lovable nightmare of doom, if she hadn't suffered through the Dursley's? I wonder, honestly.

Since Powers can have multiple Gods effectively Ra used up all power the shackled power of Fate had at the time. Now another entity is empowering Fate. Remember for War there was at least Ares and Sobek. Additionally the strain on the plane of Light has been decreased with the loss of Fleur so is recovering faster.

Drastic times call for drastic measures!

If I remember correctly, they’ve all been released to choose their own planes again, outside of death which is still tied to the dark, but it feels obvious where death may end up- not that a draw 4 reverse uno hasn’t been done before 😂
