Chapter 704: Believing Even in Death

The strong adaptability of an otaku is truly awesome. The pressure of the Demon King only lasted for a short while, and Dorothy had already returned to normal.

Hmm, offending the Demon King and being put on the little notebook by this notoriously petty Witch King, this problem is really big, but being anxious is useless, so she's not anxious anymore.

Life is like that... since you can't resist, just enjoy it peacefully. Leave the future things to the future self to worry about. The boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge.

Anyway, her good sister also said she wouldn't die, so there's nothing to worry about.

Holding such an optimistic idea, Dorothy bid farewell to her good sister and prepared to resurrect.

Her resurrection is quite simple, and she doesn't need to go through the complicated approval process like others. She just needs to run to the Netherworld Gate or something, and then open the door.

The forbidden spell "Netherworld Gate" is a magic that allows people to come and go freely between the yin and yang worlds. Its existence itself is a resurrection ticket with royal permission.

Of course, the premise is that your physical body is still there. Otherwise, you have to master the ability to reshape the body.

However, Dorothy is holding the resurrection coin given by the Grand Justice, so this is not a big problem for her either.

Therefore, after saying goodbye to her good sister, Dorothy walked out of the room.

She checked the location and found that she seemed to be in a side hall of the Yama Palace.

Oh, it seems she died on Yingzhou Island, so she came to this Yingzhou Huang Quan.

But since she's here, she should go and say hello to that Yama King.

The Home Witch thought so, and then walked toward the main hall.

She hadn't been here long before, and the ghost messengers of the Yama Palace hadn't forgotten this distinguished guest of the Yama King. Therefore, there was no obstruction along the way, and she soon arrived at the main hall.

It's just...

"Go, so busy, so many people... no, souls are queuing up."

Just arriving at the entrance of the main hall, the long queue of souls that couldn't even be counted at a glance made Dorothy gasp in exclamation.

But thinking about it, Yingzhou Island just experienced a major revolution. In the final decisive battle between the Myriad Nations and Heian-kyo, countless witches died on the battlefield. Even if the decisive battle is over now, small-scale fighting might still be ongoing.

People are dying on Yingzhou Island every moment now.

And the souls queuing at the entrance of the Yama Palace are the witches who died miserably in this revolution.

Such a large number of witches dying on a large scale, plus her good sister accelerating the time in the mortal world, the two special circumstances combined made the efficiency of the Yama Palace in judging souls unable to keep up, which created this spectacle of souls queuing up.

"Hiss, it seems Shiki-sama shouldn't have time to see me. Better not disturb her work. I'll visit later."

Dorothy thought so. Even without meeting, she could already imagine the miserable appearance of that Yama King, who was small but very serious, working overtime crazily.

Truly hard work.

Originally, the Home Witch wanted to ask about Izanagi's final outcome, but seeing how busy she was, she canceled the idea.

"However, war is indeed cruel. Prosperity, the people suffer; destruction, the people suffer."

Looking at the queuing souls, Dorothy finally shook her head and sighed.

Perhaps, if she hadn't come to Yingzhou Island and hadn't started this revolution, many of the witches here might not have died so quickly and so early.

The Home Witch couldn't help but think so, and a sense of guilt emerged from her heart.

Even though what she did indeed saved Yingzhou Island and gave the survivors freedom and a future, for these witches who had already become sacrifices to the revolution, perhaps she was the broom star who brought bad luck and despair.

But to sacrifice so many lives for a better future for Yingzhou Island, many of them were so young and had beautiful lives and futures.

So, is all this really worth it?

Dorothy asked herself this question.

Then, she turned her head, looked at the small figure who had appeared behind her at some point, and nodded.

"Of course it's worth it. Even if you let me choose countless times, I would still start this revolution without hesitation. They did die because of me, so if they want to hate me or resent me, it's also reasonable. Regarding this, I will not deny or escape."

The Home Witch said firmly, without any confusion.

Merit and fault have no saying of canceling each other out. They exist independently.

Perhaps the future witches of Yingzhou Island will blow her up to the sky, saying she is a great savior or something.

But merit is in the future, and sin is in the present.

No matter how much future generations blow her up, it doesn't prevent these innocent witches who were affected by the flames of revolution and lost their lives from hating and cursing her.

Dorothy could fully understand and accept this point. She still had this much awareness.

Therefore, with her personality, she wouldn't be sentimental or hesitant about such things. The inner torture that came suddenly just now was indeed someone playing tricks.

"Tsk, what a pure and terrifying steel heart."

Shiki Yama looked up at the Home Witch in front of her and couldn't help but nod, praising her.

As expected of a born saint, the Dao heart is flawless, far from what her little tricks can shake.

"Uh, Yama-sama? Shouldn't you be working overtime inside?"

Looking at the Yama King who suddenly appeared behind her, Dorothy was stunned and slightly confused.

"Even if I'm capable, it's impossible for me to manage the entire Huang Quan by myself."

The small Yama King also saw the confusion of the Home Witch in front of her and explained.

"Don't you also have the talent for spiritual differentiation? I also have similar talent abilities, which can differentiate some incarnations to help with work."

Ten Kings of the Huang Quan (SSR), this is her unique talent ability.

As the Yama King, she can turn one into ten, evolving into ten Yama incarnations responsible for different responsibilities to share the work.

"Uh, I see, I see."

Dorothy nodded, easily understanding.

She knew before that this Yama King was a Golden Immortal Sage, and she was especially good at the spiritual system, so it was normal to have this incarnation ability. What she was truly surprised about was why this Lord of Huang Quan would send an incarnation to find her when she was so busy.

"I'm here to report. After all, Saint-Master, you will be the Lord of Yingzhou in the future. Even this Huang Quan land belongs to you, so naturally, I dare not neglect it."

Shiki Yama blinked and said so.

Amaterasu, who is in charge of the mortal world of Yingzhou Island, has already surrendered, and now she, the Lord of the Huang Quan, should naturally be sensible.

"So, Saint-Master, do you have any instructions?"

Yama King asked for instructions.

"I see you seem to mind these souls. Do you want to resurrect them?"

Dorothy: "..."

Looking at the Yama King in front of her who suddenly had the appearance of "Master, whatever you say, I'll do it," the Home Witch was speechless.

Honestly, she was a bit tempted by this proposal.

After all, such a kind-hearted good child like her can't bear to see others suffer. What she likes most is the perfect ending where everyone is happy.

It's just that, in the end, she was only tempted for a moment. After all, revolution is not a fairy tale; it's impossible to be as beautiful as in the story.

If everyone were really resurrected, wouldn't the previous efforts and awareness be a joke, like playing house?

So...

"You just judge normally. Judge however you should. Anyway, the yin lifespan of these souls is quite long. The days in your City of Wrongful Death are much more comfortable than the days of waiting for revival in the mortal world. It's only suffering if they are really resurrected."

Dorothy said so.

She was telling the truth. The days in the City of Wrongful Death in the underworld are simply a dream-like paradise compared to Heian-kyo in the mortal world.

Dead, this is truly enjoying happiness.

However, she didn't block the words completely.

"As for resurrection or something, I will spread the method of resurrection on Yingzhou Island later. If anyone really has the ability to resurrect innocent poor people, then don't stop them, don't block the approval."

The Home Witch said so.

Human nature is just so cheap. Things that can be easily obtained are not cherished, while things that are hard to get are craved and treasured.

Unconditional large-scale resurrection is not allowed, but conditional small-scale resurrection is possible.

Yingzhou Island didn't have the saying of resurrection in the past just because the Monster Mountain blocked the exit of the Huang Quan, and now Yingzhou Island can be considered completely her territory. Moving the Monster Mountain or opening a small hole is not a difficult task.

Besides, Yingzhou Island was originally going to connect with the outside world. In terms of resurrection, it should naturally keep pace with the Witch World.

Well, actually, she just wanted a good ending in a different way.

No way, Dorothy-Master is kind-hearted and can't bear to see others suffer.

And to this, the small Yama King bowed her head to accept the order, but the corners of her mouth hooked slightly.

This new Saint-Master is really a very good person. With such a lord, there is no need to worry about the future of Yingzhou Island.

Yama-sama also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Although she is unwilling to admit it, she has always considered herself the daughter of her mother, but she actually inherited Izanami's memories. As the Mother God of Yingzhou Island, she still hopes that these "daughters" can meet a good person worth entrusting.

Fortunately, this Dorothy-Master is truly a good match.

"Lord, actually, after judging so many people, except for those Huazu souls who deserved it, most other souls don't hate you. Instead, they really admire and respect you."

Shiki Yama said.

"If you restore your Battousai outfit from before, you might be able to make most of the Myriad Nations people riot with one sentence. Even if you want to behead me, this Yama, these guys will follow you to the death."

She said so, seemingly joking, but actually not entirely joking.

Yama King has been in charge of the Huang Quan and judging souls for tens of thousands of years. She is truly seeing such a firm faith that can cross life and death for the first time, and it is on such a large scale.

"Genesis," that doctrine is truly terrifying, but it is also truly yearning.

However, the Home Witch, who didn't know that her destined doctrine had been secretly spread by her good roommate, naturally didn't take Yama King's words seriously.

Going to the spring platform to recruit old troops, ten thousand flags to behead Yama... such things are good to think about. She, a mere ordinary little witch, doesn't have such great prestige.

However, Yama King's words did indeed make her feel a little better.

Although she was prepared to accept the resentment of ten thousand souls, if she could not be hated, and even have people who truly understand and support her, then this is naturally better.

Hmm, comrades, you have worked hard. You can rest and recuperate in this Huang Quan now. Leave the rest to us, right?

She took one last look at these queuing souls, and then prepared to walk toward the Huang Quan Road.

It's time to lift the coffin lid. She has many tasks to do later, so she can't let down the fruits of the revolution that everyone fought for with their lives, right?

"Oh, by the way, how is Izanagi?"

Just as she was about to walk out of the Yama Palace, Dorothy suddenly remembered this and asked.

And Shiki Yama waved her hand, summoning the Hell Scroll.

Dorothy looked at this Hell Scroll and found that a new hell had been added under the previous Eight Hot and Eight Cold Hells, and Izanagi's soul was imprisoned in that new hell.

"I opened a new hell specifically for Father-sama. I know what is the most painful thing for someone like him whose desires are endless, and that is to seek but not obtain. I will let him wander in that pain of seeking but not obtaining forever. He will face failure every time he is on the verge of success."

"I named this new hell 'Avici.' Lord, what do you think?"

Yama King showed off her work proudly like a child showing off a new toy, and then looked at Dorothy, seeming to be waiting for her evaluation.

"Hmm, this sounds great. I'm comfortable."

Dorothy also nodded with a refreshed face, and only then did she leave with big strides, feeling at ease.

And the small Yama King's figure also disappeared, throwing herself into this long career of working overtime.

The judgment efficiency of the Ten Kings of Yama is quite high. In fact, many souls have already finished their judgment, and those who didn't have much sin to be punished were quickly settled in the City of Wrongful Death, and this huge Huang Quan metropolis has become more prosperous because of this.

However, there are always some people among these new souls who can't stay idle. Although life in the City of Wrongful Death is good, people have no faith, so this won't do, so...

"This sister, can I delay you for a moment? I want to tell you the story of our Yingzhou Island's kind father and old master—Battousai Tsukimi Kuro, and learn about the holy scripture 'Genesis' recorded in this holy hammer."

"Anyway, it doesn't cost money, just believe a little bit. If it really doesn't work, taking the holy hammer back to smash walnuts is also good."

Souls are preaching.
