Chapter 859
"Then Godfather, what do you think I should do next?"
Although having another dad made her feel complicated, since she already recognized him, Dorothy didn't plan to recognize him for nothing. She immediately plucked the wool and secretly asked via voice transmission.
Mm, just now Lucifer had already called her real name Dorothy directly. The Home Witch naturally realized that the Holmes skin suit on her had been seen through by this Demon God godfather, so she had nothing to hide and directly took the opportunity to ask for advice.
Since Lucifer's authority is time and space, for this kind of thing involving the influence of time and space, this Godfather is the most authoritative person in the Western Universe. Asking him is definitely right.
"I actually thought about replicating Holmes's script before, walking the path she walked again, but it seems there are always various accidents. Now even you have appeared. This history has been messed up by me. Is this really okay?"
Dorothy briefly described her previous experience, feeling a little worried.
And to this, the silver-haired beauty just couldn't help but roll her eyes.
He only felt that this newly accepted foster daughter was indeed lacking a bit of self-knowledge. This point is actually similar to Adam. These two are really worthy of being father and daughter.
Can this have anything wrong? This is naturally fine.
If it were anyone else who came to mess around like this, then he would definitely be dead. The self-constraining power of history would be enough to kill that guy. That is a deadly backlash that even he, the Demon God of Time and Space, would not dare to resist.
But since it was done by this foster daughter, he could only say one sentence: you are happy. After all, you are the cornerstone and pillar of this timeline. It is the world line that should shift according to your will, not the other way around.
Besides, no matter how much Dorothy messes around, her birth 30,000 years later cannot be changed. After all, you child wouldn't really think that your birth was just a coincidence, right?
No, that is the "certainty" carefully designed and arranged by that terrible and cunning black dragon, alright? No matter how you mess with history, your birth is definitely inevitable.
As for why this child always had such accidents when thinking about following the script before...
Mm, don't ask me about this kind of thing. You should ask the licking dog apprentice beside you.
She went to such great lengths to send you to this time point, not for you to go on a "pilgrimage" and go back directly. If you ran away so easily, how could she establish a bond with you, and how could she successfully graft into your destiny?
However, the Demon King is the Lord of the World, and her will is naturally the will of the world. The feeling that you are being targeted by the world is not false; it is indeed the world teasing you.
Lucifer thought so in his heart.
However, clearly, he couldn't tell these things directly to the foster daughter in front of him. Otherwise, the Demon King who had her bottom line exposed might be angry from embarrassment. This is her future boss. Although she is not afraid of offending her, being targeted by such a dangerous and troublesome guy is really not comfortable.
At the moment, Demon God pondered for a while, and then said...
"My child, you must know that although time looks linear, it is actually non-linear. Past, present, future, these three are not immutable. You need to recognize them more dialectically."
"Mm, this era for you is actually a 'past' that only exists in history, but for the people of this era, this is the 'present'."
"Similarly, for the people of your era, this era belongs to the 'past', but for you who are in this space-time, this is the 'present' you are experiencing, isn't it?"
"So, rest assured, you are not changing history, you are just creating new history. A little bit of small difference is not a big problem."
Lucifer said so.
Mm, these words are all big truths, indeed containing his understanding of the laws of time and space, but they are also not big truths. After all, only this foster daughter with innate divinity (saint destiny) can play so unscrupulously.
This is an operation that only a true god can play; others can't learn it at all.
Dorothy: "..."
The Home Witch was silent for a while, and then blinked her eyes, a bit confused and a bit enlightened.
Good guy, relativity, right? It sounds quite reasonable, but I always feel that you are fooling me.
As a master who is also good at fooling, no, it is persuading others, her inspiration keenly sensed a little bit of something wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, she had to admit that Lucifer's statement really couldn't pick out any problems.
Mm, the "past" that belonged to the Sage of Lies Holmes is really already in the past. This fake "past" now is actually her Dorothy's "present".
These two histories seem to really not be counted as the same one. She is indeed creating history, not rewriting history.
"So..."
The Home Witch still looked at the cheap godfather in front of her with some hesitation, waiting for this professional to give herself some professional advice.
And seeing that this foster daughter seemed to have really been "persuaded", Lucifer also breathed a sigh of relief.
Mm, finally didn't mess up the Demon King's mission.
These two pasts are indeed independent, but don't forget why magic can be called magic?
Isn't magic something that can turn normal impossible things into possible?
Otherwise, how can this be called the power of miracles?
This is a miracle performed by the Demon King herself.
Although in Lucifer's view, this is actually just a clumsy imitation of the true divine miracle of the God King who replaced the past not long ago. However, the God King relied on the authority of fate to achieve such a miracle, while the Demon King could achieve a similar effect without the blessing of the authority of fate. This guy is indeed worthy of being the existence closest to omniscience.
This degree of mastery of magic is something that even he, the Demon God of Arrogance, feels some admiration for.
The silver-haired beauty sighed in his heart, but seeing the foster daughter in front of him still waiting for his advice, he thought for a while, and then continued to "persuade".
"I don't suggest you continue to be so straightforward and hard-headed. It's fine that you summoned me this time, but if you really summon Mamen later, that guy won't be as easy to talk to as me."...
Lucifer said nonsense with his eyes open.
Actually, Mamen is easier to talk to. After all, as the Demon God of Greed, he is a businessman, and everyone understands the nature of a businessman.
Businessmen don't have any immutable stance. They will only pursue interests forever. Don't tell them about family and country feelings, benevolence and morality. As long as the interests are large enough, these guys can sell anything without hesitation, even themselves.
Therefore, Mamen actually rarely uses force directly. He can be considered the gentlest Demon God among the seven Demon Gods. As long as you can show enough value for him, then he is almost harmless.
Of course, if you don't have enough value, then you yourself will become one of his goods.
However, this problem is clearly not something the three in front of him need to worry about. Whether it is Adam's divine soul, Dorothy's saint soul, or the Demon King's demon soul, any one of these three appearing is a supreme customer enough to make Mamen kneel and lick on the spot. That guy can directly become your most loyal dog-legged man. Mm, although a Demon God kneeling and licking others seems to have no force, Mamen doesn't think he is kneeling and licking. He calls this behavior investment. He bets that your future is more valuable to him.
However, although the arrogant silver-haired beauty looks down on this colleague's behavior of having no Demon God dignity, even he has to admit that this guy's vision is really vicious, and his "investment" has never lost money.
For example, in normal history, he will meet the Demon King girl sacrificed by the return faction not long after, and then Mamen directly and decisively bet all his net worth, even including himself, into the Demon King.
He bet that this special little Demon King would take off in the future.
And everyone knows the result of this big gamble. Mamen made a fortune.
He directly became the Demon King's close confidante, and the greedy faction became the largest faction in the abyss at once, directly dominating the abyss for a time, under one person, above all demons.
However, it is not suitable for Mamen to participate too early now. After all, Lucifer doesn't want that greedy guy to see his foster daughter.
Mm, at least not before his and the Demon King's plan succeeds. After all, you have to talk about first come, first served, right?
"Then Godfather, what do you think I should do?"
Dorothy asked with a frown.
She didn't mean to doubt Lucifer. After all, she now also knows the horror of the Demon God's true body. Her previous plan to directly kick the door was indeed too reckless.
However, she never thought about facing the Demon God's true body in her plan. After all, the Demon Gods of Original Sin are so busy every day, and I don't know how many demon believers are trying to summon them every day. If they all receive them personally, they will be exhausted.
Therefore, those who respond to the summons are generally just some avatars of the Demon God.
And if it's just those avatars, the old man can easily deal with them.
But she didn't expect that Ati, this "fish bait", would be so easy to use, directly summoning the Demon God's true body. This shouldn't be the case under normal circumstances...
After all, the Witch World is not a public toilet. You can come if you want, and leave if you want. Even if there are only two kings in the sky now, the deterrent power of either the good sister or the Dragon King is not a joke.
Even if it is as strong as the seven Demon Gods of Original Sin, they don't have the guts to risk their true bodies to force a descent. After all, if this is not played well, there will be no return.
Dorothy originally thought that even if Ati's Demon King soul was very tempting, it wouldn't be big enough to make the Demon Gods bet their lives.
But now looking at the Godfather in front of her, the Home Witch can only say that her pattern is small after all. She still underestimated the courage of these big guys.
Can only say that the demons who can become the Demon Gods of Original Sin are indeed ruthless people. Their thoughts are really hard for normal people to guess.
Therefore, she decided to follow the Godfather's advice from the heart and let go of the return faction first.
"Dorothy, your vision should be broader. Don't always stare at the thirteen Blood Clan families. What you should look at is the entire Night City."
Lucifer spoke again, continuing to persuade.
"The entire Night City? Please teach me, Godfather."
Dorothy was stunned. She understood a little, but not completely.
"What is Night City called in the future?"
The silver-haired beauty asked back.
"City of Art."
Dorothy answered immediately.
Subsequently, she suddenly realized.
"It seems you understand. The importance of the history of Night City is not whether the thirteen Blood Clan families abdicate or not, but whether it can transform from this notorious City of Sin into the City of Art later. This is the real historical trend. Apart from this, everything else is just details that can be changed."
Lucifer nodded and said approvingly.
And hearing the guidance of this Godfather, Dorothy also nodded. She recalled the origin of the City of Art, Venus City, and then she shifted her gaze back to Ati on the side.
As for why Night City would become the City of Art, Venus, the main reason is naturally because of the Demon King's preference.
Because the Demon King likes art, she established the Witch Opera House in the city, so many artists who wanted to enter the Demon King's sight and get the Demon King's reward flocked to Venus City.
Of course, the reason why the Demon King established the Witch Opera House in this Night City, instead of other cities, is also because this city already had a rich performance foundation before.
As for the origin of the Night City residents' love for performance...
Mm, the legend of Phantom Thief Jack.
Dorothy tasted it.
The origin of Night City's love for performance was initially because of the handsome and charming stealing performance of this Phantom Thief lady.
Well, after all, Night City doesn't understand anything else, but there are many demon witches. And demon witches in this era are not very popular, and most of them have somewhat isolated and strange personalities.
And the most typical demon witch personality is...
Mm, chuunibyou.
You can often see demon witches wearing eye patches with special sealing magic eyes, or bandages or shackles binding ghost hands on their arms.
This is a common dress for demon witches, and it is also a popular fashion among demon witches.
This group of guys just likes that kind of being unique and different feeling, because in this way, they can comfort themselves by saying that it is not the world that rejected me, but I rejected the world.
And under the premise of this racial trend, Phantom Thief Jack's behavior of sending a notification letter first and then successfully completing a shocking performance in full view of everyone directly poked the g-spot of most demon witches, opening the door to a new world for them.
Oh, it turns out it can be played like this, this is really too handsome, I want to learn too.
Thus, over time, you can see the demon witches of Night City start to set various special identities for themselves and then perform role-playing.
And when this kind of thing is done a lot, isn't the acting skill trained?
"So that's it."
Dorothy suddenly realized
