Chapter 525: The Demigod Is Actually Myself

~13 min read 2,485 words

Even with Dorothy's brain, which had already undergone magic-armor transformation, it almost crashed at this moment.

Although the Home Witch had already had a vague premonition when she heard the name Xia Wa earlier, when that speculation became reality and she looked at the nun before her who looked exactly like Long Ma, she didn't know how to react for a moment.

Well, actually, if you look closely, there were still some differences between this nun Xia Wa and Long Ma Yufiliya. Just looking at the face, the two were almost indistinguishable; both were somewhat similar to Dorothy, belonging to the ranks of earthly beauties, but they didn't reach the flawless perfection of a "divine face."

But if you looked at their temperament and figure, there were differences.

Yufiliya, as the Dragon Witch, had a physique far exceeding that of humans; at over two meters tall, if she stood in a crowd, she would be a giantess. And as the Dragon Queen, Yufiliya's temperament was domineering and majestic, just like...

No, she was an empress.

And the nun Xia Wa before her had a much more normal figure, about the same as Dorothy's now; although a height of around 1.75 meters was tall among human women, it wasn't exaggerated. Moreover, this nun's temperament was very quiet and elegant, just like the huge full moon behind her, cold and mysterious.

Just like a Moon Goddess.

The differences between the two also allowed Dorothy to calm down quickly.

Priest Adam was almost identical to her own father Adam, both in appearance and personality, so there was no pressure in recognizing that father.

As for whether to recognize this mother, she still had to deliberate; after all, the mother she recognized was a mother, not Yufiliya's face.

Even if this nun Xia Wa before her was, like Priest Adam, some unknown past life of Long Ma, there were so many past lives, but there could only be one biological mother; this couldn't be recognized randomly.

Moreover, if Priest Adam hadn't lied this time, this nun Xia Wa was a ruthless person who had truly abandoned her husband and daughter for power; it was better not to recognize this mother.

Hmph, just a phantom of the past from the Witch's Night, a mere n...

Dorothy snorted inwardly, but then she felt a bit listless.

Forget it, it wasn't the first time Adam had been unreliable; it was better not to jump to conclusions this time, or the one who would be embarrassed in the end would be herself.

It's just that she was truly becoming more and more curious about her own life experience. If it were just Adam, it could be described as a coincidence, but the subsequent Lilith had made her feel numb, and now the appearance of this Xia Wa with Long Ma's face made the Home Witch realize that her life experience was becoming increasingly bizarre.

Oh my, could I really be in a second playthrough?

The Home Witch took a deep breath, feeling a toothache.

She secretly glanced at Dinisha beside her, then hesitated to speak.

If there had to be someone who could answer her doubts, it would only be this good sister beside her.

She really wanted to ask directly, but she didn't dare to.

And seeming to notice her sister's gaze, Dinisha also looked at her, then shook her head.

"I don't know what's going on either. I only know that you are indeed my childhood sweetheart; I don't know anything more. Perhaps only Mother knows; this time, it was actually all her arrangement."

The Shepherdess then also curiously looked at the nun Xia Wa opposite.

The "Mother" she spoke of naturally referred to the World Consciousness of the Witch World itself.

This was actually her first contact with this biological mother of Dorothy's; after all, in the original timeline, this witch who had once tried to incite internal strife in the Glory Sect had long been burned at the stake by the church.

However, the main body had always been quite grateful to this witch she had never met; after all, it was precisely because of her efforts that the God King was finally able to receive a large number of awakened former church paladins and nuns. Most of the prototypes of the initial Angel Witches came from that batch of church rebels.

It could be said that the fact that the God King was finally able to save the world was largely due to this witch who had infiltrated the interior of the church.

"Moon Witch Xia Wa."

Dinisha murmured this name.

Dorothy beside her naturally heard this murmur from her good sister, and the Home Witch's brow immediately furrowed.

Although this title was unexpectedly fitting for the nun Xia Wa before her, Dorothy's impression of her own biological mother had ultimately been preempted by Long Ma, and Long Ma's image...

Hmm, War Witch, Calamity Witch, Extinction Witch, anything would do, but the title of Moon Witch...

How should one put it? It was like awarding a "Lady of the House" prize to a heroic female general; it was just very discordant.

Moreover, Dorothy really hadn't felt any elements related to the moon in her own Long Ma, who could blow up a world with one punch.

She was now increasingly suspicious of whether this nun Xia Wa before her really had any relationship with her own Long Ma; perhaps they just happened to look exactly the same.

Hmm, like twin sisters or something. There was a Moon Witch, so a Sun Witch wouldn't be too much, right? Although Long Ma's image didn't match the quiet Moon Goddess, it matched the scorching sun very well.

It's just, the sun...

Dorothy subconsciously wanted to look up at the sky, but now, being underground, she could only see the ceiling.

Sigh, guess why the Lord of Glory was called the Lord of Glory? This was naturally not because she was really so white that she could glow, but because she really was the sun itself.

Seraphs were born with divine offices; for example, Michael was the Angel of War, and although the Lord of Glory, Gabriel, was best known for the power of fate, her initial divine office was Glory.

Before she was the spokesperson of fate, she was the Sun God.

Therefore, long before the avatar of the Lord of Glory descended into this world, the original sun of the Witch World had already been replaced by the Lord of Glory. The sun hanging in the sky now was nothing else but the manifestation of the Lord of Glory's avatar.

Generally speaking, the sun and moon were the eyes of the world, but in witch culture, what represented the Mother of the World was no longer the sun and moon, but simply the moon.

This was because the original sun of the Witch World had long since disappeared; the sun of later generations was actually just a fake sun transformed by the power of the Three Kings.

Although each of these three fake suns was much stronger than the real sun.

Wait, the moon was the avatar of World Consciousness?

Hiss...

The Home Witch had just been thinking randomly, but suddenly, her inspiration struck, and she looked suspiciously at the full moon painting occupying the position of the statue in the cathedral, and then at the Moon Witch Xia Wa.

Ah, this...

A possibility that made her scalp tingle reproduced in her mind.

Oh my, that's impossible, right?

The Home Witch opened her mouth wide, a bit frightened by herself.

Fortunately, she wasn't the only one frightened now; Xia Wa opposite also heard Dinisha's murmur, and the smile on her face immediately stiffened, then her expression became serious. She furrowed her brow and looked sharply at these two uninvited guests.

Originally, she had thought these two were fated people brought by fate, but now it seemed this fate was a bit too much.

"I knew the puppet made by that child Noah wasn't very reliable; this child is too radical."

The Moon Witch thought helplessly. At the same time, powerful power surged from her body, and that terrifying magic power sealed the surroundings, directly dragging Dorothy and Dinisha into a strange space.

Just like the painting hanging in the cathedral earlier.

The original cathedral turned into an endless expanse of water, a huge moon disk rose from the water, and the nun Xia Wa stood there with the full moon that seemed to occupy most of the sky as her background, looking at these two guests of unknown identity with cold eyes.

"Who exactly are you?"

Moon Witch—this was a title she hadn't heard for a long time; after all, she had abandoned this name for hundreds of years. In such a long time, no one should have known of her existence anymore, so how did these two mysterious...

... guests know and recognize her?

But no matter what, she couldn't let these two guests leave casually; after all, Noah's plan was about to begin, and she couldn't let these two people who knew her identity ruin things.

Therefore, although she didn't know the strength of these two mysterious guests, Xia Wa chose to go all out directly. As the agent of the moon, she possessed the authority bestowed by the moon: the Moon Domain.

Once an enemy was pulled into this Moon Domain, they would have no way to escape; after all, the power constituting this domain was the power of the world. Unless the enemy had the strength to break the world, it was absolutely impossible to escape by force.

And within this domain, she would receive the blessing of the moon and the reinforcement of the world's power, becoming nearly invincible.

In this Moon Domain, she was a god.

However, under the gaze of the Moon Witch, the two guests who should have felt terrified by the pressure of divine might were calm, as if the divine might that should have been like an abyss or a sea didn't exist at all.

Seeing this scene, Xia Wa's heart sank.

Because it was impossible for any mortal to withstand such pressure, and the nun's habits worn by the two...

They were divine messengers...

This was the only possibility the Moon Witch could think of.

Thinking of this, Xia Wa felt some despair. Was she going to fall on the eve of dawn after lurking for hundreds of years?

And next, the reaction of these two guests made her even more uneasy.

Although it could be seen that the nun Xia Wa opposite had tried very hard to go all out, it was obvious that her power, in the eyes of Dorothy and Dinisha, was just so-so.

After all, both of them had the power to easily destroy the world.

Not to mention Dinisha, Dorothy only needed to perform a casual "Super Solution" now to easily break free from the shackles of this Moon Domain.

As for the so-called divine pressure...

What kind of pressure could make the God King feel pressured?

This thing couldn't even scare Dorothy; after all, at most, it was only 60 Mana of pressure. She wasn't the little witch with only 4 magic power in reality anymore; with her magic power also being over 50, although there was still a gap with the other party, it wasn't very large.

Pressure was very useful for bullying the weak, but it really wasn't very effective against people of the same level.

Honestly, the pressure of power didn't bring Dorothy nearly as much pressure as that face identical to Long Ma's.

Hmm, although the nun Xia Wa looked quiet and gentle earlier, not at all like Long Ma, now that she was angry and serious, she really had a bit of that flavor.

That identity pressure did indeed make Dorothy feel a bit empty.

The guilty Home Witch had to observe the domain all around to distract herself.

"It really is a primitive divine domain. Sigh, it seems my previous speculation was eight or nine out of ten correct; it's absurd."

Dorothy sighed, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

The "god" here naturally wasn't the omniscient and omnipotent god in the witch concept, but a god similar to the big octopus Dorothy had fished up earlier, which was what the witches called a "pseudo-god."

Such pseudo-gods were naturally omnipotent true gods in the eyes of weak mortals, but in the eyes of witches, these guys who couldn't even transcend their own world were really a bit of a stain on the word "god."

If you followed that standard, everyone in the Witch World was a god.

Although they were indeed worshipped as gods by mortal races, those mortals in the lower realms still regarded the Witch Sky Islands as the divine realm in the sky.

Dorothy also saw through the essence of the ability the nun Xia Wa was displaying at a glance; this was the innate divine power of those pseudo-gods.

Hmm, these primitive gods divided by world consciousness were born with divine offices and divine powers; for example, the Rain God would bring rain, the Wind God could blow wind, and so on.

This nun Xia Wa shouldn't actually be called the Moon Witch; she was the Moon Goddess of this world.

However, there were differences among pseudo-gods; the strength of these pseudo-gods depended entirely on the world. If they were pseudo-gods of those great worlds, their strength could often be compared to peak witches, while pseudo-gods of small worlds were really not very strong, perhaps not even as good as powerful wizards or mages.

The Witch World was originally just the weakest world, so the pseudo-gods it nurtured naturally couldn't be very strong. Even though the Witch World had been forcibly raised to the level of a medium world by the internal strife of the two countries, this was the end of the world, and these pseudo-gods who relied on the world itself would eventually perish along with the world.

Dorothy was even quite curious about how this nun Xia Wa had held on until now; it was probably because of the unique divine office of the Moon Goddess. The world consciousness hadn't died, so as one of her eyes, the Moon Goddess could still hold on.

But then again, did the Witch World really have pseudo-gods?

This was the first time Dorothy had heard of it.

After all, the Witch World of later generations had a witch rank system, and the world's destiny was shared by all witches. Theoretically, witches were all gods, so naturally, there were no various pseudo-gods from other worlds.

However, before the witch race appeared, the Witch World was a normal world, so it seemed there should indeed have been pseudo-gods.

Tsk, good grief, after all this, am I actually a demigod of human-god hybrid?
