Chapter 111
Facing such a question, Dorothy opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to answer.
Who has the leisure to think about such things? As a plain and unremarkable little witch, she really didn't have such a grand perspective. What she thought about most was how to build her own warm and harmonious little home.
However, there was one thing she could be certain of: the Senior in front of her was indeed mad, and mad quite severely. No wonder she said herself that she was the most dangerous kind of witch. A witch who thinks about destroying the world and seemingly has the capital to do so truly deserves that evaluation.
So....
"Senior, you are sure...."
She opened her mouth, preparing to speak the truth, but the long-haired Senior in front of her had already closed her eyes again and sat back in her previous seat. Although the terrifying and strange things around her had already enveloped this entire underground space, the small dining table where the two were sitting had been avoided.
"Sorry, Dorothy, I lost control for a moment. Actually, I've known this problem myself for a long time. I am indeed mad. I've read so much history and clearly know that pure violence and destruction cannot solve any problems. So, naturally, the anger and desire for destruction in my heart are also meaningless. If I really did that, I would seem to have become the type of person I once hated the most."
Senior Senior Fan Ni calmed down again and apologized to the junior in front of her like this.
"So, after realizing my own problem back then, I sealed myself away and began to research the cause of the inexplicable desire for destruction in my heart."
"In the end, I understood everything. The problem still lay with me."
The long-haired beauty turned her head, looked at the flesh-fungal mat around her, looked at her indescribable familiars, and then sighed.
"Dorothy, witches all crave omniscience and omnipotence, but everyone also knows that omniscience and omnipotence belong to the realm of gods. So the question arises: when a witch truly becomes omniscient and omnipotent, is she a witch or a god?"
"My existence itself is not a naturally conceived witch, but the greatest masterpiece created by the Three Kings together with the World Mother. Although I have the appearance of a witch, the cognition of a witch, and everything of a witch, in essence, I am not a true witch, but a creation made by witches that transcends them—an artificial god wearing a witch's skin."
"This is a problem that no one, including myself, had realized in the past."
Speaking to this point, Senior Senior Fan Ni was very sad and depressed. Clearly an elegant and dignified Senior with power beyond what ordinary people could imagine, at this moment, she looked as forlorn as a homeless child.
She raised her hand, pointed to the indescribable monsters wandering around the dining table, and said to Dorothy again.
"Hey, Dorothy, are my children all very ugly? I know that when you said they were cute before, you weren't being sincere. Their existence indeed doesn't conform to the aesthetics of ordinary people."
"But these children are the path to omnipotence that I finally groped my way to."
"Although I am essentially a child designed by the Three Kings and conceived by the World Mother, I am not the kind of existence that just popped out of a rock, naturally born and raised. I am still like you, born from a normal witch couple. My two physiological mothers were not powerful existences; they were the most ordinary and common kind of witches, not even qualifying as elite witches."
"And after I was born, I was taken away by the Three Kings. My two mothers probably still don't know that they ever had a daughter like me."
"Actually, judging me by the most common witch qualifications today, I belong to the kind of loser who is beyond saving: innate magic of 1 Total Mana, and only the two most basic talents."
"That single Total Mana of magic was the perfect foundation craved by the Three Kings, the 'One' that evolves all things, and those two talents were the only gifts from my two mothers to their daughter. Although, because they were really too weak, these weren't any good talents either."
"My two mothers both worked in a circus. For the weakest witches like them, it didn't really matter what template they had; their specialties were evolved randomly—whatever was needed, they evolved. They didn't think about any combinations. So, in the end, I got a talent called 'Intimidation' (n) from my paternal mother who was a clown, and a talent called 'Dream Entry' (r) from my maternal mother who was a hypnotist."
"Because Teacher Three Kings wouldn't let me copy the templates of other races at will and told me to think for myself how to reach omnipotence, I finally cast my gaze upon these two useless abilities I was born with."
"But it was precisely these two most ordinary talents that allowed me to finally see through the essence of my own existence. The essence of my existence is the manifestation of the fear that all living beings have for witches, and the essence of my existence is also the interpretation of the eternal pursuit of omniscience and omnipotence by witches. I am the nightmare of all living beings, and also the beautiful dream of witches."
"To satisfy the consumption required to create me, the Witch World has carried out endless Great Expeditions over these years, and I, who was finally born, was born bearing the resentment of the many worlds that were used as my nourishment."
"And to use the words of those Eastern Immortals, I am the 'Fruit', and that sin born because of me is the 'Cause'."
"Then, can the fruit borne by the flower of evil truly be delicious?"
"Now I understand everything. My desire for destruction comes from that part of the nightmare that was suppressed by the beautiful dream of witches in the past."
"And when the essence of this nightmare began to be uncontrollable, I was no longer a pure witch, but a god. My stance was no longer just that of a witch, but the condescension toward all living beings that a god should have."
"I jumped out of the chessboard and became the chess player who decides the fate of all the pieces."
"My current madness is because of the conflict between the two opposing essences that constitute my existence. In the end, to suppress this conflict, I stopped thinking and sealed myself away in a state of blind stupidity."
"And these children were born from my essence after I fell asleep. In a sense, each of them can be considered my incarnation, representing a part of my characteristics."
"Their power represents the witch's pursuit of strength, and their ugliness is just because my existence itself is indeed this ugly."
"Hmm, this is me, the essence of Asa Senior Fan Ni."
The long-haired Senior said this, then looked at the junior beside her and asked.
"Dorothy, you tell me, how should I finally choose? Should I follow the side of the beautiful dream and realize the long-cherished wish of the witch race, or should I follow the side of the nightmare and bestow upon this sinful race of witches the destruction they deserve?"
And to this, Dorothy, who also understood almost everything, raised her head and looked seriously at the Senior opposite her who was like both god and demon.
At this moment, Senior Senior Fan Ni was probably truly on the verge of her limit. Among those myriad indescribable existences, the three strongest had already come to her side.
On the Senior's left was that huge lump of flesh supported by three sheep hooves, with countless tentacles and mouthparts dripping with filthy liquid growing on it.
On the Senior's right were those brilliant, dreamlike, myriad transparent spheres; the truth of this world seemed to be hidden within those foam-like bodies.
The Senior's own shadow was spreading endlessly, and within that shadow lurked the endlessly rolling and writhing crawling chaos.
Dorothy thought for a moment, and then she spoke.
"What does that have to do with me? Senior, this is your own fate, right? Then shouldn't it be decided by yourself? Why ask me, an outsider?"
.... The little witch is in the middle of a serious face....
