Chapter 789

On the Longdao, not long after Dorothy left, the petrification spell that should have lasted for another day or two was suddenly broken; Miss Black Dragon gracefully spread her wings, and the stones that had covered her body fell off one by one, and just like that, she regained her freedom.

If the Home Witch were still here, she would have seen at a glance that Miss Black Dragon seemed to have changed into a different dragon; the golden vertical pupils now revealed a dignity and firmness as stern as the sun.

It's just a pity that Dorothy had already left, and her departure also represented the departure of the audience.

This dignified Black Dragon had no intention of chasing after the departed Home Witch; she just sat upright in place, but those dragon eyes seemed to directly break through the constraints of time and space, the boundary between reality and illusion, and stared at someone in the distant future of reality.

Nidhogg spoke up like this.

"Adi, you've crossed the line."

And in the real world, in Venus City, in the Screaming House, the tall young girl watching the World Ball in front of her wore a joyful smile.

She witnessed the strange change in Miss Black Dragon, but was not surprised by it, as if she had been prepared for it all along.

"My dear sister, this is just a haunted house game, why be so serious?"

Astimos stared fearlessly into those stern and dignified dragon eyes; even feeling the mountain-and-sea-like pressure from the other side, her face remained cheeky.

Even though her little tricks had been discovered by her teacher, she still didn't panic and even tried to muddle through.

"Look, didn't you have quite a lot of fun just now? How about it, does it feel great to steal and play with God Wang Laoshi's treasure behind her back?"

She blinked and asked back.

Nidhogg: "..."

Miss Black Dragon was silent for a moment; even after so long, she was still often surprised by this disciple's shamelessness and thick skin.

And what did she mean by saying she had fun just now? She had specifically waited until things were over before projecting her will in; how could that be called playing?

"You know that these little tricks can't fool Teacher, and besides, you know yourself whether this is a game or not."

After a long time, Lord Long Wang spoke again and said this.

However, after finishing, Miss Black Dragon strolled on the Longdao, her gaze scanning everything around her; the dignity in her golden dragon eyes, which seemed to burn with an inextinguishable flame, faded, and then a touch of nostalgia emerged.

Although this memory did not belong to Long Wang Nidhogg, but to Knight King Emora.

But to her, there was no difference; after all, both were her.

A powerhouse of her level had long since broken free from the constraints of time and space; although she had not yet fully reached the realm of omniscience and omnipotence, some traits that should only belong to saints and gods were already manifested in her, such as a limited degree of uniqueness across all realms.

Little Fat Dragon Emora is her, Knight King Emora is her, Long Wang Nidhogg is still her.

As long as she is willing, her will can freely trace back to herself at any space-time node from the beginning of her existence to the present.... It's just that, for now, it's limited to the past; she cannot yet control her future self.

After all, the past is already fixed, while the future has infinite possibilities; the difficulty of controlling the past and controlling the future cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

But this was enough.

And in the memory belonging to Knight King Emora, she had indeed once had such a magical dream of incarnating as an evil dragon and imprisoning a princess.

Mm, for mortals who lack the ability to fully control their Spirit Realm incarnations, everything that happens in the Spirit Realm is like a dream.

Who would take things in a dream seriously? At most, one might draw some inspiration from the dream.

However, this dream was indeed the enlightenment that led her onto the path of martial arts, and it was also the origin of the name Nidhogg.

Although in her past when she was still weak, this dream was truly just a dream to her; she only knew that she had received guidance from the dream and found her goal.

And now, casting her gaze from the distant future to re-examine this dream, which was originally quite normal, it felt like something else entirely.

She seemed to have been teased by this mischievous disciple.

"No, no, no, my dear sister, don't think of me as so bad. I'm not God Wang Laoshi; where would I have the power to reverse the past and future? I'm super weak. This isn't any prank; I just sent the right person to the right place at the right time. Everything else was Teacher's own will; I didn't interfere. Besides, what right or ability do I have to interfere with the will of a natural-born saint?"

As soon as Astimos saw Miss Black Dragon's expression, she immediately said this submissively, and her pure and lovely face was full of innocence, as if she had truly been wronged.

Nidhogg was silent again; she naturally knew that the "Teacher" in her disciple's words just now did not refer to herself, but to someone else. Also, one shouldn't believe a single punctuation mark of this brat's words, but she was still somewhat persuaded.

After all, this was indeed something that had happened in the past long ago.

Whether Knight King's evil dragon dream was arranged or not, the fact that she had once had such a bizarre dream and received guidance from it was true and unchangeable.

If one insists on whether it was calculated or arranged, everything in this world is within fate; everyone is being swept forward by the rolling torrent of fate, and everything in the past and future is already arranged.

Being overly obsessed with this point is meaningless.

It's just that Miss Black Dragon still raised her head and looked seriously at this unruly disciple.

"Do you care about her that much? You and she should have had no connection; it was only after God Wang Laoshi reversed the past that you and she had entanglements. You shouldn't care so much about that little entanglement."

Nidhogg was somewhat puzzled.

As Adi's teacher, she knew this disciple's unruliness and incorrigibility better than anyone.

The Demon King soul forged through the baptism of the Seven Deadly Sins was a true natural-born evildoer; the reason she could become the Witch King was not because she was willing, but simply because she couldn't beat her teacher, so she had to submit to her will.

As long as she was still there, as long as she didn't have the confidence to defeat her teacher, this Demon King who should have destroyed the world had to obediently submit to her will, work on the throne of the Witch King, and dedicate her power to the Witch World.... Mm, even if she's not convinced, she has to hold it in.

Everything should have been like this.

But now, a variable had occurred.

That Demon King soul, which should have been completely soaked in original sin, now seemed to have received salvation.

Nidhogg could naturally see the reason for this variable at a glance; it was the chain reaction caused by God Wang Laoshi reversing the past not long ago.

Although the current Witch World looked no different from the past, in the eyes of ordinary witches, except for an extra sun in the sky, everything was still the same.

But for those who had jumped out of the influence of time and space, there were still some changes, and the biggest difference was that they had developed entanglements with a certain variable, and a person who shouldn't have existed had appeared in their memories.

It's just that, how could the will of a powerhouse be so easily changed? A believing heart is true magic; who among the powerhouses who have reached this step doesn't have a heart of steel?

Even if God Wang Laoshi's actions added a memory and entanglement to them, whether they accept it or not depends on themselves; no one can force this. Although she herself accepted it; after all, that was her family, the person she once swore to protect, and also her regret from the past.

That changed past was not forcibly added to her, but a salvation.

But she and God Wang Laoshi were special; after all, they could be considered the parties involved. No matter if the past changed or not, their fates had long been entangled with that person.

But this brat disciple was different.

She should have been an unrelated person.

Her bad temper shouldn't have been misled by that brief memory during the Witch's Night.

However, thinking carefully, during the Witch's Night period, Adi's Seven Deadly Sins trial seemed to have just begun; she was just a natural-born bad seed, not yet at the level of a Demon King burdened by original sin.

Once the Demon King soul is achieved, it is unchangeable and incorrigible, but before the Demon King soul is achieved...

Ah, this...

Lord Long Wang grasped the key point.

Theoretically, this seemed indeed feasible, although it was only theoretical.

And to Miss Black Dragon's confusion, the young girl who had been cheeky was silent, and then she looked with great jealousy at her teacher who had suppressed her for many years.

You arrived first, so you're great? How early can you be compared to God Wang Laoshi...

Thinking of this, Miss Demon King was silent again; it seemed, perhaps, maybe, possibly, this one might actually be the one who arrived first.

After all, even God Wang Laoshi didn't accompany Dorothy from birth, but only met her after Adam took his daughter to hide in that remote village; God Wang Laoshi was just the daughter of the wet nurse, but this dragon might have witnessed the Home Witch's initial birth with her own eyes.

From this perspective, God Wang Laoshi was a latecomer.

Ah, this...

Adi's eyes widened immediately; she looked in astonishment at this teacher who had always fiercely suppressed her demonic nature, never expecting that this thick-browed, big-eyed tyrannosaurus was the true rival.

And, considering Dorothy's identity as a Dragon Witch in this life...

Adi originally thought it was random, but now...

Damn, the one hiding the deepest is actually you?... Lord Demon King realized something; she looked in disbelief at this teacher she had always thought was brave but lack of strategy, as if she were meeting her for the first time.

"She was pulled back by you?"

Adi couldn't help but ask.

And hearing this question, Miss Black Dragon was stunned, then looked at this disciple with some surprise.

Fine, worthy of being a wisdom-specialized witch; she could even see this. Clearly, she had hidden herself quite well, and all the blame had been shifted to Mother; even God Wang Laoshi hadn't noticed her little tricks, but it had been seen through by this disciple.

But it didn't matter; this wasn't anything truly unspeakable.

"Mm, although it took a little effort, the dragon's lair has already been built; one always needs to find a treasure to hide, doesn't one?"

Miss Black Dragon flew into the cave halfway up the Longdao, then her massive dragon body turned into a tall and voluptuous beauty; she walked into the cave, which had already been decorated into an exquisite bedroom by the Home Witch, and then lay leisurely on the rocking chair Dorothy loved most, answering with a proud smile.

She indeed had no power in the past and couldn't protect anything, but now it wouldn't be like that; otherwise, why would she have fought for so many years to establish this status as the head of the Witch Calamities?

To hide the most beautiful princess, one naturally has to build the most secure dragon nest.

"How did you do it?"

Seeing that this voluptuous beauty actually nodded and admitted it, Adi was stunned, then asked in surprise.

This was something even God Wang Laoshi couldn't do; otherwise, God Wang Laoshi wouldn't have become increasingly indifferent before, almost becoming a heartless maintainer of the Heavenly Principles.

"That is naturally a secret."

However, what made Miss Demon King's teeth itch with anger was that this Long Wang teacher, who had always been dignified and rigid in her memory, blinked her eyes and said this mischievously.

Ah, this; usually she was the one teasing others, but now she was being teased back. This feeling was novel yet irritating; if she couldn't beat her, she would have already taken action.

And the curvaceous, large dragon beauty was now leisurely rocking the rocking chair, enjoying the pleasure of tormenting this brat.

This brat had caused her no small amount of trouble in the past; not to mention anything else, just in the life of Knight King Emora, being stabbed through the heart in the first playthrough and stabbed in the kidney in the second was very uncomfortable, okay?

One always has to give this lawless person a small lesson, letting her know that a teacher is always a teacher.

Oh, well, the teacher this person truly recognizes in her heart is probably no longer herself.

But it doesn't matter, it's all the same.

The dragon beauty's gaze looked at the Home Witch who was smiling and reuniting with her companions on the sea in the distance, and she also revealed a smile.

Mm, as long as she is happy, that is enough.

However, the aggrieved Miss Demon King on the side suddenly also revealed a smile; she flicked her finger, and a stream of light shot into the World Ball in front of her.

"Since God Wang Laoshi occupies the past, and you, Long Wang Teacher, are working on the present, then it's not too much for me to plan for the future, right?"

She said this.

Indeed, compared to Dinisha and Emora, she, Adi, was a latecomer; it was only because God Wang Laoshi replaced the past that she had any connection with Teacher.

She could have ignored this suddenly added past memory, but why should she ignore it?

Who isn't a Witch King? The ability to be unique across all realms isn't something only you, Long Wang Teacher, have.

Therefore, Demon King Astimos is her, the great thief Adi is her, and the natural-born bad seed Adi is also her.

God Wang Laoshi's power is indeed incomparably strong, strong enough to truly replace the past; so why shouldn't she grasp this miracle that was delivered to her door?

Where are there any truly incorrigible evildoers? Could it be that someone would truly volunteer to become a lonely wanderer like a cursed star? Could it be that someone would truly refuse the light that illuminates the darkness?

Even the Demon King, sitting lonely in the deepest part of the abyss, actually longs for salvation.

It's just that she is too powerful, powerful enough that no one can give her salvation, and no one dares to give her salvation.

The lonely Demon King can only be friends with lies.

But in fact, even the most exquisite lies are hard to deceive a heart that has long been closed off.

An adult's worldview is hard to change; only a child who is a blank slate possesses such plasticity.

But who can have a childhood again?

Home Witch on the road.

So annoying, I was already annoyed by the writer's block, and my family keeps pressuring me to get married and go on blind dates; I'm so tired, my brain is dizzy every day, and I feel like everything is meaningless.
