Chapter 110: The Curse from History

~12 min read 2,321 words

Dorothy really hadn't thought about whether the Three Kings were on the path of Omniscience or Omnipotence in the past. After all, for her in the past, the Three Kings were too far away, so far that she shouldn't have any chance to come into contact with them in this life. Such big shots were like gods in myths, basically background existences in her worldview.

But now, when she thoroughly thought about this question, she was a bit unsure.

First of all, there is no doubt about the Three Kings' talent. If they are not qualified to walk the path of Omnipotence, then no one in the entire Witch World can walk this path. The most classic impression of the Three Kings in the world today is the image of angels, dragons, and demons that evolved more perfectly and powerfully than the originals by stealing the bodies. They are typical examples of 'learning from the barbarians to control the barbarians'.

But thinking about it carefully, Dorothy was shocked to find that the existing nine major schools seem to have all come from the Three Kings. The original eight systems were created by the God King, and later the Long Wang created the Battle Method system, since then eight systems became nine. And the current Demon King is the master of these nine systems. She refined and classified these nine systems and popularized them throughout the world, making magic available for everyone in the Witch World to learn.

Looking at it this way, the Three Kings seem to be the ancestors of the path of Omniscience.

Tsk, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that only those rookie witches who are forced to have no choice will choose one of the two. Real big shots seem to want everything.

Not to mention the distant ones, even her own mother, Yufilia, seems to be a dual cultivator. Although she is a witch mainly on the path of Omnipotence, she seems to have several authoritative magic academic medals.

"So, is it dual cultivation of Omniscience and Omnipotence?"

She looked at Senior Sister Senior Fan Ni opposite with some uncertainty.

And for her answer, the black long straight senior sister shook her head.

"Your answer can only be said to be right and wrong."

"To be precise, the Three Kings are not dual cultivators, but converted paths. The early stages of their long careers were the most standard path of Omnipotence. It's just that later, the Three Kings all changed their paths. Nowadays, they can all be considered witches on the path of Omniscience."

Hearing such an answer, Dorothy was stunned, and then bewildered.

"Why?"

She asked subconsciously.

And the black long straight senior sister shrugged her shoulders slightly.

"What else could it be? Of course, because the path of Omnipotence is a dead end and doesn't work."

Dorothy: "..."

Ah, this... For this unexpected answer, but thinking about it carefully, it is reasonable, she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Dorothy, you have also heard of the saying that 'a million magic power achieves Omnipotence', right?"

Senior Sister Senior Fan Ni asked again.

And Dorothy, who was still bewildered by the fact that the so-called path of Omnipotence was just a lie, nodded subconsciously.

She had indeed heard of this hypothesis. This thing is quite popular on the Mana Web. Scholars have calculated that according to the growth curve of witches, theoretically, as long as there is 1,000,000 Mana magic power, then with the omnipotent power of magic power, the witch will reach the realm of Omnipotence.

"Then Dorothy, do you know the magic power number of the Three Kings now?"

The black long straight senior sister asked again.

To this, Dorothy could only shake her head. She hadn't seen the Three Kings in person, so how could she know this kind of thing.

"The answer is 999,999 Mana."

Senior Sister Senior Fan Ni didn't sell it anymore, she said the answer directly.

"Everyone is stuck on that last 1 Mana. It's very wonderful, isn't it? Clearly, our witches' magic power can grow endlessly. Theoretically, the longer you live, the more magic power you have. But if you really want to talk about magic power reserves, the God King is several times more than the Long Wang."

"Hmm, to understand it a bit better, Dorothy, you can understand it as the God King possessing 999,999.9999... Mana magic power. Each additional digit after the decimal point represents a doubling of the God King's total magic power. But no matter how it doubles, this decimal point is still endless, while the Long Wang's digits after the decimal point are a few less than the God King's."

"In fact, after magic power reaches the number 999,999, each additional 1 Mana represents a qualitative change and upgrade of the witch's magic power. It's just a pity that the last qualitative change became a reality that even the Three Kings could never reach. After that, their magic power can only be accumulated, but can never change qualitatively."

"That is one, and it is ten thousand. It is a moment, and it is eternity."

Although the senior sister's words were a bit mysterious, Dorothy suddenly realized.

She is familiar with this. Isn't this the unique skill of 'a platform where you invite friends to help slash prices' from her previous life?

"So, after both the God King and the Long Wang failed, World Mother also accepted her fate. The third king she subsequently conceived, which is the current Demon King teacher, was a wisdom-specialized witch. World Mother hoped that the Demon King teacher would honestly walk the path of Omniscience. As a result, the Demon King teacher, who was smart since childhood, still didn't believe in evil. She also ran to walk the path of Omnipotence first, and then..."

Senior Sister Senior Fan Ni spread her hands towards Dorothy, who was enjoying the gossip.

"The Demon King teacher's current situation, Dorothy, you have also seen it. After she hit her head and bled, she also accepted her fate. Instead, she developed the Mana Web, popularized education, and started to speed on the path of Omniscience with the power of the whole world."

"The Three Kings now agree that if you want to know how to break through the final 'one', you must first become 'Omniscient'. It's just a pity that all research results on Omniscience now point to the fact that if you want to be Omniscient, you must first be Omnipotent."

Dorothy: "..."

The gossip witch was a bit dumbfounded.

Mom, isn't this that classic joke?

I want to be Omnipotent. Then you be Omniscient first.

I want to be Omniscient. Then you be Omnipotent first.

I just want to be Omnipotent! Then go be Omniscient! How can you be Omnipotent without being Omniscient?

Then I want to be Omniscient! Then go be Omnipotent quickly! How can you be Omniscient without being Omnipotent?

Are you guys playing infinite nesting dolls here?

"Then what? How was this problem solved?"

Dorothy asked with some curiosity.

And to this, Senior Sister Senior Fan Ni pointed to herself.

"Then I was born."

The black long straight senior sister was also depressed at this time.

"The Demon King teacher's title is 'King of the End'. From this title, Dorothy, you can also see that this represents World Mother's expectations for the Demon King teacher, thinking that she is the last king of the Witch World."

"However, one day the Demon King teacher suddenly slapped her thigh, had an inspiration, and discussed with the two predecessors, the God King and the Long Wang. Finally, the three of them jointly requested World Mother, who was clearly very reluctant, to conceive me as the Fourth King."

"The Demon King teacher felt that the last 1 Mana magic power that was missing might not be the last part of the path of Omnipotence at all, but the starting point of everything, the foundation of everything. So if this foundation is not possessed innately at birth, it is impossible to make up for it no matter how hard you try later. So they decided to create a witch who was perfect from birth with the power of the whole world."

"Then I was born. The Three Kings designed my existence with wisdom that was almost Omniscient, and World Mother consumed almost all the accumulation of the Witch World for these tens of thousands of years to conceive me."

"I also lived up to their expectations. I possessed the 'one' as the foundation of everything at birth. I am one and ten thousand, a moment and eternity, the origin of everything and the end of all things."

Speaking of this, the terrifying magic power behind Senior Sister Senior Fan Ni surged, the void drum and flute sounds resounded, and ghost-green flames and invisible sound waves danced, setting her off like a god.

This also made Dorothy a bit high. This melon is a bit exciting.

"Then what, then what."

She urged like this.

It's just that, after such an urge, Senior Sister Senior Fan Ni suddenly wilted.

"Then, just like you see now, I went crazy."

"Dorothy, you don't know, those three teachers are not human at all, and World Mother also helped the three of them speak. They both want me to walk the path of Omnipotence, but they don't let me copy templates, saying that a perfect witch like me doesn't need those rookie race templates for reference. They insist that I think for myself how to evolve, how to be Omnipotent."

"This makes me think, how can I think? Why can you all copy homework but I can't? I am a child who just was born and knows nothing. I don't know how to evolve to lead to Omnipotence." 【110

"In desperation, I went to study history. Isn't it said that only by reading history thoroughly can one know one's own shortcomings? So I thought I'd give it a try."

"It's just that, Dorothy, I've read through the entire one hundred thousand years of witch history, and I understand everything. So, guess what I learned from that history?"

The long-haired Senior first poured out her grievances, and at the end, she asked Dorothy once again.

"Uh... how would I know? History is the thing I hate the most; otherwise, I wouldn't have come to find you, Senior, okay?"

Dorothy rolled her eyes again. Why does this Senior love asking others questions so much?

"Sigh, I've only learned one thing from the entire history of witches, and that is that witches can never learn lessons from history. Why is it that mistakes that have been repeated in the past are always committed again?"

The long-haired Senior sighed, her voice becoming low, and the myriad monsters behind her also began to stir.

"In that entire library of history books, I looked left and right at the true history of our witch race spanning over a hundred thousand years. Every page of these books, whose dates are almost impossible to verify, is written with slaughter and desire. I felt this wouldn't do, so I looked across and up and down, and only then did I see something between the lines. It was filled with four words: hopeless."

"Hey, Dorothy, you say that we witches clearly rose from the invasion of the angels and grew in the resistance against the oppressors of the invaders. At first, we only wanted to become stronger for self-preservation. So why is it that later, more and more worlds were destroyed at our hands?"

"What difference is there between us now and that Lord of Radiance whom we are still keeping suspended and torturing?"

"I once watched a little witch only a few years old despise that invader in front of the Lord of Radiance, only to turn around and kick to death a girl of a different race nearby who had dirtied her clothes. Yet, the adult witches around were accustomed to this. Although they scolded the little witch, saying it wasn't good, in the end, they just said the child didn't know any better and let it slide this time."

"All of this disgusts me, Dorothy. It clearly shouldn't be like this."

Senior Senior Fan Ni's voice carried an irrepressible anger and sorrow, and the terrifying flesh-fungal mat began to spread wildly from beneath her feet once again.

And those indescribable things that had originally only been active in the magic-derived world behind her also began to arrive in reality, just as before.

"That day, after everyone else had left, I resurrected that innocent little girl. I originally wanted to comfort her and explain things for my race, but looking at the lingering fear in the little girl's eyes when she looked at me, I ultimately said nothing."

"Ever since then, I've probably gone mad. I am clearly the Heaven-ordained Fourth King, who should have led the witch race to a higher peak, but my most genuine inner thought is a desire for destruction. I crave to completely destroy this high-and-mighty Witch World."

"I feel from the bottom of my heart that this world is already filthy and beyond saving. To save the witches, one must destroy this arrogant conceit, and let those who already fancy themselves gods recall, amidst the ruins of the world, the pain of being dominated and ravaged."

"Omniscience and omnipotence cannot save witches; this erroneous race of witches can only correct its mistakes and welcome a new birth amidst destruction."

"This is the curse of the knowledge I possess, Dorothy. Do you think I am truly mad?"

The long-haired Senior leaned in front of Dorothy and opened her eyes. Those golden rectangular sheep pupils, which were clearly beautiful yet simultaneously very evil, were full of confusion and bewilderment as she asked this.

Dorothy: "......"

..... The little witch, with a face full of confusion, was stunned once again.....
