Chapter 222: The Bloodline of the Sinner
Dorothy: "???"
Listening to Senior Hat's furious questioning in her ear, the Home Witch had even more question marks popping up on her head.
But wait, Senior, the information in what you just said is a bit large; let me slow down.
Sophie Liya is actually also a mixed-blood Witch?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. How can a mixed-blood half-witch be as strong as her? My mana level is what a normal half-witch should have, okay.
Thinking of the Angel Witch's mana level that far exceeded her peers, Dorothy couldn't believe this fact no matter what.
But since these words were said by Senior Hat, considering the gold content of the future Fourth King, the Home Witch had to believe it even if she didn't want to.
"Hmm, it's impossible for a normal race's mixed-blood to be this strong, but what if the other half of the mixed-blood is also a Calamity?"
Dorothy suddenly realized this possibility.
"I'll go, Senior, don't tell me Sophie Liya is a mixed-blood of a Fallen Angel and a Witch."
She asked in shock.
"Uh, didn't you already know?"
Clearly sensing her master's genuine surprise from the familiar connection, Senior Hat was also puzzled.
Ah, this... could it be that the self-destructing clown is actually myself?
Realizing that maybe Dorothy just guessed right by blind luck, the fun-seeker Senior was so angry that her black hat almost turned into a green hat.
After all, if there were no accidents, she only had fifty years left to live. Fifty years, whether divinity or demon nature wins, anyway, her weakest humanity would likely be finished.
The reason she ran out following Dorothy, besides wanting to gamble on that last possibility of fate, wasn't it to properly enjoy the last fifty years of her life?
And after getting rid of the identity of the Fourth King, her, Aza Fan Ni's biggest hobby as a simple Witch was very simple: eating melons and watching shows, being a fun-seeker. But now look at what she has done—such a big good show was smashed by herself just like that.
"Yes, yes, yes, you guessed right, she is a Calamity mixed-blood."
The fun-seeker Senior who had lost her happiness sounded listless, and she answered her master's question listlessly like this.
Well, anyway, there were no melons to eat, so there was nothing to hide.
"But aren't Calamity races forbidden from intermarrying?"
The Home Witch, whose guess was confirmed, was even more surprised.
Witches can indeed combine with different races, but it is limited to different races below Silver rank, and the four major Calamities generally do not intermarry.
After all, Witches are allowed to intermarry with different races because the bloodline of ordinary different races cannot suppress the Witch bloodline, and the offspring they produce can only be Witches in the end.
In fact, there is no such thing as a half-witch in this world. A half-witch is actually just a young form of a Witch, because as the little witch grows up, the different-race bloodline in her body will be gradually eroded and swallowed by the Witch bloodline, eventually completely transforming into a pure-blood Witch.
And this is why it is said that the gap between a half-witch and a pure-blood Witch is only at the starting point, because in the later stages, everyone is really the same.
Dorothy herself could clearly feel this change. With the growth of mana and the increase in age, the weak human bloodline in her body was disappearing bit by bit, and the blood inherited from her father Adam was bit by bit turning into the nourishment for her "Diligence Makes Up for Clumsiness" (SR) talent.
But if it were a Calamity mixed-blood, that would be troublesome. As Calamity races, the race of the offspring produced is really hard to judge. If the one born isn't a Witch, that would be very awkward.
And Witches are a standard Witch-supremacy race. Except for humans, their origin and close relatives, they really don't put anyone in their eyes.
Once a Calamity mixed-blood offspring isn't a Witch, that child won't be accepted by Witch society and won't enjoy Witch treatment; she will be regarded as a different race.
But everyone knows the status of different races in the Witch world, so which mother can accept her child being directly inferior to others?
And maternal love is really hard to say. It might be great, but sometimes it also makes people lose their minds. What if a mother, out of love for her child, leaks Witch secrets to this different-race child? And what if this child is biased towards her Calamity father's race?
So, the situation of Calamity mixed-blood is very troublesome. Witches simply legislated to directly prohibit intermarriage with Calamity races. Once discovered, it will inevitably be severely punished. If there is a child, the child will also be directly disposed of.
Then Sophie Liya is...
"So her family is gone."
Before Dorothy could even ask, Senior Hat directly answered her doubt.
Oh, also, Sophie Liya's mother was already infected with the Knowledge Curse and was sealed, and it was executed by her own mother.
"The crazy thing the little angel's mother did after being infected with the Knowledge Curse back then was to conduct human experiments. Angel Witches, always out of faith and worship for the God King teacher, always hope to be closer to the God King teacher. And the little angel's mother, after going crazy back then, set her sights on Angel mixed-bloods. After all, although Calamity mixed-bloods are taboo, they can occasionally give birth to geniuses that transcend common sense."
"After the incident was exposed back then, Teacher Euphelia led the team to arrest people. At that time, that woman had already gone completely crazy. The laboratory was full of stillborn fetuses, and when the teacher found her, she had just given birth to a child."
"That child was also the only surviving experimental subject in the laboratory. According to common sense, she should also have been executed, but who let the teacher have just lost you, this daughter, at that time? So, probably the motherly love with nowhere to place found a sustenance. The teacher ultimately didn't dispose of that infant."
"Hmm, that child is the little angel in your house. Your mother spent a huge amount of mana to complete a blood transfusion for her, directly washing away the angel bloodline in her body, leaving only the Witch blood, and even personally vouched for her, which allowed the Sage Council to show mercy and spare her life."
As the Fourth King, Senior Fan Ni's authority is extremely high, and she knows these secrets that ordinary Witches can't touch like the back of her hand, understanding them very thoroughly.
"But now it seems that the crazy woman's experiment back then was successful. The talent of this little angel in your house is indeed terrifying. She actually masters the power of fate. This is still under the condition that her half-blood was abolished and her talent was cut in half. If she were in her complete form, she..."
"Hmm, she is still not as good as me. At most, she would just be a Sage."
Senior Hat suddenly changed the subject, boasting triumphantly.
This left Dorothy, who was listening intently, speechless. But she also never expected that her roommate's identity was so bizarre.
"But, Qian Bao, this little angel looks restless nowadays. Her Fallen Angel avatar has a big problem. Her life was vouched for by Teacher Euphelia back then, so if something goes wrong on her side, it will affect the teacher's side."
"As a disciple, I won't allow the teacher's reputation to be damaged. So, once it is confirmed that this little angel really has a problem, I will take action to erase her."
"In fact, if it weren't for your sake, Qian Bao, when I discovered the abnormality on your sky island before, this little angel would have already been pinched to death by me."
After the joke just now, Senior Hat's tone suddenly turned cold. At this moment, she was no longer the fun-seeker Senior, but the high and mighty Witch King, as if she were a god.
"Don't blame me for being harsh. After all, this little angel's paternal bloodline is too special and too dangerous. The agreement between the teacher and the Sage Council back then was that once this little angel has any abnormality, she can be disposed of at any time."
Dorothy opened her mouth, and the words that were originally on her lips were blocked back like this. She had to change the question.
"Who is her paternal bloodline?"
"Who else could it be? There aren't many Angel Kings of the highest rank in the entire Heaven, and who is the one Witches can most easily come into contact with, there's no need to say more, right?"
Senior Hat said with disgust.
Dorothy: "....."
Alright, there really is no need to say more.
The Home Witch took out her divination coin, and then looked at the two twelve-winged angels fighting on the coin, silent and speechless.
