Chapter 450: The Promise Between the Two

Five minutes later, the angel group in the sky was still hovering in mid-air, looking down at the church in the distance, while at the entrance of the church, the witches were also ready to go, ready to take action at any time.

It's just that in the end, the two sides didn't fight. After all, the leaders of the two sides were having a meeting at this time.

Inside the church, the statue of the Lord of Radiance, which originally served as the main statue, had been shattered when Adam betrayed his faith. Now the platform where the statue should have been was empty, which made this hall look a bit strange.

And at this time, under the altar, Dorothy and Sophie Liya were staring at each other.

"Sophie Liya, how did you really become an angel?"

"Big Sister, why did you change history?"

After the two stared at each other for a while, they spoke almost at the same time.

"Alright, you speak first."

"Big Sister, you ask first."

After speaking at the same time again, the two closed their mouths together.

For a long time, Sophie Liya spoke again.

"I have no choice, Big Sister. My mother descended in person this time."

As soon as this pure white angel spoke, she revealed major information.

It's just that regarding this, Dorothy wasn't surprised at all. After all, she had guessed it long ago. Now this was just turning speculation into reality.

It's just that although she was calm on the surface, the Home Witch was actually a bit panicked in her heart. After all, if it was just angel players opening a rebirth cheat knowing history, then their side could still play. But now the final boss had read the script, what else is there to play?

However, Dorothy remembered the terrifying will she felt on Dinisha not long ago.

Hmm, it was the opposite side that didn't talk about martial virtue first. Could their side also directly shake people?

Of course, even though the Home Witch's thoughts didn't show on her face, the Sophie Liya opposite seemed to see through her thoughts at a glance, and spoke again.

"Don't worry, my mother doesn't seem to intend to intervene directly in this trial. She will be the same as originally, and will only take action during the final battle."

The pure white angel's opening sentence directly made Dorothy breathe a sigh of relief.

Also, the Lord of Radiance was what kind of character? Even if the other party was an alien, she was ultimately a big shot standing at the peak of the Western Universe. Such a big character naturally should have the bearing of a big character. No matter what, she wouldn't directly smash the venue of the Witch's Night. Otherwise, it would be like an adult making trouble in a group of children's house-playing game, which would be a serious drop in force.

It's just that the Home Witch hadn't been happy for long before Sophie Liya's next words made her stunned again.

"So she directly delegated power to me. Before the final battle, she let me act as the Angel King."

The pure white angel said so lightly.

Dorothy: "...."

Ah this...

The Home Witch was stunned, not expecting that it could be played like this.

"But aren't you a witch? How can you be an angel..."

Dorothy subconsciously wanted to say so, but halfway through, she remembered this roommate's background.

Sophie Liya wasn't a pure witch to begin with. She was a hybrid of half-angel and half-witch. Then in this Witch's Night, she naturally could participate in both camps, all depending on her own choice.

"Then you agreed?"

Dorothy was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"Do I have a choice?"

Sophie Liya didn't answer either. She just looked directly at the big sister in front of her with those beautiful golden eyes.

Regarding this, the Home Witch nodded, and then nodded somewhat empathetically.

"Also, you have no choice."

Just like when she couldn't persuade Yu Feiliya back then, she would have to be tied home to inherit the family business and become an armed witch. Now Sophie Liya's mother was even more troublesome than the Dragon Mother. The poor pure white angel's situation would only be worse than hers at that time.

People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. And what makes people even more unable to help themselves than rivers and lakes affairs is family affairs. When the parent presses down with "I'm doing this for your own good", it's really hard for the children to bear.

"That was my mistake. I shouldn't have called you out just now. It's difficult to handle now."

Dorothy frowned at this time, feeling a headache.

She knows Sophie Liya inside and out and understands her situation, but the other witches don't. If the Witch's Night continues and others discover that the dignified Student Council President has actually become the leader of the opposing angels, the Pure White Angel's situation will be a bit awkward then.

If it isn't handled well and Sophie Liya's background is leaked, then her roommate might be pointed at by all the witches, after all, the bloodline of the enemy, the Lord of Radiance, is too hard for the witches to accept.

Fortunately, it is worth rejoicing that everyone present today is a trustworthy good sister; it won't be very difficult to ask them to help keep it a secret later.

Dorothy is thinking about the matter of keeping it a secret, while opposite her, the six-winged Pure White Angel looks at her reaction with complicated feelings.

"My lady, I can understand now why you would change history and save Lord God King. It's true, you have always been such a good person; you are truly worthy of being the teacher's daughter."

Sophie Liya sighs, and her face, which had been stern all along, softens slightly at this moment.

Really, shouldn't a normal witch's first reaction be to be afraid that she has really defected to the angels, or to angrily denounce her for not having a firm enough stance? How can there be someone like my lady, who is still thinking about hiding it for her.

My lady, are you really worthy of your status as a Grand Judge of the Tribunal by doing this? If everyone in the Tribunal were like you, engaging in favoritism and malpractice, then this Witch World would be finished sooner or later.

The Pure White Angel thinks this in her heart, but this does not prevent her from feeling a little happy because of my lady's reaction.

Hmm, really only to a small degree.

Actually, she doesn't care much about whether her identity is hidden or not; after all, she didn't really care about others' opinions of her in the first place, and the person she cares about has already told her her answer.

"Tsk tsk tsk, why are you so ungrateful? I'm doing this for your own good, and you're giving me a 'good person card'—this is returning kindness with ingratitude."

Being inexplicably handed a 'good person card', Dorothy immediately widens her eyes and looks at Sophie Liya with some annoyance.

"Fine, fine, it's my fault. But my lady, are you really not worried that I will truly defect to my mother? After all, even if I really defect to her now, there won't be any terrible consequences."

The arrogant Student Council President is rarely not being stubborn as usual; she just chuckles and says so.

Just as she said, now that the Lord of Radiance is about to break the seal, if she really rebels, then with the protection of that Angel King mother, no one in the Witch World except the Three Kings can really do anything to her.

But the Three Kings certainly wouldn't step forward for this little matter of hers.

Hehe, the Witch Kings enjoy the blessing of the world's destiny in the Witch World; they can almost be seen as omniscient and omnipotent gods. If that Angel King mother of hers hadn't obtained Lord God King's permission, how could she possibly have found a way to sneak into this dream of the Witch's Night.

If that mother of hers hadn't reached some kind of agreement with Lord God King this time, Sophie Liya would be the first not to believe it.

She can almost be certain that she, this Daughter of Radiance, is definitely one of the items in this big shot's deal.

"Then will you?"

Dorothy doesn't answer either, but asks back instead; this time it's her turn to look Sophie Liya straight in the eyes.

The two look at each other, and in the end, it is Sophie Liya who lowers her head first.

"Yes, I've been with you for too long, my lady, and I've been infected by your silliness."

Sophie Liya laughs at herself.

In all fairness, purely from the perspective of interests, if she were to hang out with her mother, the Lord of Radiance, she would undoubtedly have a more promising future.

Her mother only has her as an offspring; once she breaks the seal and returns to Heaven, then she will be the Princess of the Heavenly Kingdom, below one and above all angels.

This is much more cost-effective than having to fight for everything on her own in the Witch World; she would save I don't know how many years of struggle. Compared to this, even the family business left to my lady by the teacher is not worth mentioning.

When my lady refused the teacher back then, she was still laughing on the side that this lady was a fool, but now, when the same problem fell on her, she finally realized that the big fool was actually herself.

Heaven is good, but it is ultimately not what she wants.

In the Witch World, she has the sword of the secret of her background hanging over her head, and she is not free.

But could she be free if she went to Heaven? It's just that the sword over her head has changed from the Witch Tribunal to her mother, the Lord of Radiance.

Even if the Lord of Radiance wouldn't harm her daughter and would truly cultivate her as an heir, the gods standing in the sky don't care what the mortals on the ground think; all mortals can do is obey His divine oracle.

Once she goes to Heaven, then from then on, she will only be the Princess of the Heavenly Kingdom, not Sophie Liya.

After all, to be fair, rebelling against her mother, the Lord of Radiance, is much harder than taking on the Tribunal alone, okay.

And facing Sophie Liya's teasing, Dorothy isn't angry either; she just laughs out loud.

"Laughing to death, now you know how uncomfortable I was before, right? But this is also good; now you and I can be considered comrades in the same situation."

"Forget it, I'm just a little afraid that if I really go to the Heavenly Kingdom, then sooner or later I'll be hunted down by you, my lady. Anyone targeted by you, this Forest Witch, will have sleepless nights."

Sophie Liya rolls her eyes at this gloating lady and complains like this.

Now there is probably no one who understands this lady better than her. Don't look at how my lady is laughing and talking with her now; this is because she is still 'family' in my lady's heart. But if she really betrayed the witches and took the initiative to defect to Heaven, then she would probably taste what a witch's wrath is soon after.

Although the Lord of Radiance is powerful, she is not invincible after all. Since Lord God King could attack Heaven before, then my lady estimates she can do it sooner or later too.

Regarding this point, Sophie Liya no longer doubts it much.

Hmm, my lady truly has the potential to become a king.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How is that possible? I'm just an ordinary civil engineering witch. Even if you really left, I could only cry sadly. How would I have the ability to hijack the Princess of the Heavenly Kingdom? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Being 'slandered' like this, Dorothy naturally doesn't accept it; she retorts with a shivering, cold anger.

This can't be said randomly; as a proper research witch, how could she do such a terrible, harmony-violating, illegal thing as sneaking in to kidnap someone.

Hmm, a law-abiding good child like her would at most politely visit, then reasonably persuade everyone blocking the way, then take back her family, and finally use the majesty of a parent to invoke family law, allowing the erring family member to realize their mistake in a compliant and reasonable way.

Well, at most it would just be spanking them until they admit their mistake if they don't.

However, after the jokes, the Home Witch becomes serious.

"Alright, it's time for business. Sophie Liya, what conditions did you agree to with that mother of yours?"

Just like the fifty-year pact she made with Long Ma, Sophie Liya wanting to go against the will of the Lord of Radiance certainly wouldn't be without conditions. So what difficult problem did that Angel King set?

"The conditions have already been told to you before, my lady. Next, I will act on behalf of the Angel King's authority before the final battle."

Sophie Liya shrugs helplessly.

"If I win, then I have to go back to Heaven with her, and if I lose, then she won't interfere with my freedom."

"In her words: 'Now I want to be a good mother. What mother in the world doesn't hope for her children's well-being? If a leopard cub spends all day with cats and dogs, it will only be raised to be useless. As long as that group of young witches can prove to me that they truly have the ability not to delay your growth and can give you a better growth environment than in Heaven, then I will allow you such a small bit of willfulness.'"

"And the treaty is already set in stone; in the upcoming battles, I cannot hold back; it's impossible to intentionally throw the match to lose."

Pure White is a bit distressed. Although it sounds a bit narcissistic to say so, she is indeed a bit too strong, the kind of dominant strength that has a huge gap between her and her peers.

If she doesn't hold back and goes all out, it's not that she looks down on anyone, but that all the students in the Witch Academy are almost trash in her eyes.

Under fate, all beings are equal.

But fortunately, now there is my lady, this anomaly; the only time in her life she flipped over in the hands of a peer was that duel with my lady.

It's just that this time it's not a duel between two people, but a war between two major forces and two races.

And her attainments in the way of military strategy far exceed her personal martial prowess.

Although it hasn't been necessary and she hasn't been on a real battlefield, as far as the Mana Web's strategy games are concerned, she has never lost once. Many years ago, when she was still young, she had already been deified on the strategy forum; that 'Fate Apocalypse' ID has yet to be surpassed by anyone.

No way, the one who masters fate is a natural conductor.

The world is like a chessboard, and all beings are pieces.

The master of fate is naturally the best chess player, although she, this chess player, is now also being treated as a piece by a stronger chess player; this is somewhat ironic.

"Five months, my lady. That mother of mine doesn't seem to have as much patience as the teacher; she can't wait fifty years for you. You only have five months of preparation time. After five months, our chess game will officially begin, and at that time I will use the power of the entire Radiance Church to block and kill you all."

"So, my lady, can I trust you? Can I entrust my future to you?"

Sophie Liya restores her previous cold and imposing posture; she looks at my lady in front of her and asks like this.

Dorothy: "......"

The Home Witch is silent; she calculates slightly in her heart.

After a long time, she smiles.

"You, a defeated opponent, dare to put on airs in front of me? Go back, wash up, and wait. It won't be long before I go to pick you up and bring you home."

Dorothy promises like this.

"Hmm..."

The Pure White Angel nods, then turns around cleanly and neatly.

Subsequently, the angel group above the church really leaves just like that.

... Angels are leaving....
