Chapter 983: Aborted Cooperation
"Cooperation?"
Dorothy heard Michael's words on the opposite side and was slightly stunned, somewhat surprised.
She didn't expect this arrogant Seraph Miss to take the initiative to ask for cooperation. After all, no matter how you looked at it, Heaven had the upper hand in strength right now.
The Home Witch sized up the battle angels and priest angels standing below the temple on the screen. Even through the screen, she could feel the power of these people. These were all high-level angels of the Cherub or Throne level, and every one of them started with eight wings.
Eight-winged angels; this strength was definitely not inferior to a Peak Witch.
Especially the few angels at the front of the team even had ten wings.
The highest-ranking Angel King only had twelve wings, so ten wings meant this was a second-tier powerhouse in Heaven below the Angel King, a presence equivalent to a Sage-level Witch.
It could only be said that Heaven had truly invested heavily this time, actually dispatching ten-winged angels, and more than one.
Therefore, just the lineup displayed in this communication screen showed that the strength of the Angel fleet already exceeded that of Dorothy and the others' mixed fleet.
After all, don't look at the fact that Dorothy's side actually had a few Sage-level combat powers, but...
Hmm, there were two Golden Immortals on the Yingzhou Island, namely Miss Shenwu, Tianzhao Ming Jiegeng, and the Huang Quan Yama, Siji Yanluo. It's just that these two Golden Immortals were both in a sickly state of being confined to their own territory.
Miss Shenwu couldn't leave Yingzhou Island, and the Yama couldn't leave Huang Quan. Unless the enemy could be lured into the interior of Yingzhou Island, these two Golden Immortals could only assist in defense, with insufficient offense.
And if you don't look at Yingzhou Island, you can only look at the pendants on Dorothy.
First, the Snake King Long, Miss Pan Duola, who joined not long ago, was definitely a Sage-level existence. After all, she was a top powerhouse who could compete for the position of Dragon God in the past. Her strength was definitely not something an ordinary ten-winged angel could rival. But she was so crippled that only a remnant soul remained. Who knew how much strength she could exert now when combined with the Hydra?
Then there was the Home Witch's greatest source of security, the ancestor necklace hanging on her neck. With Ye Meng Jia De's strength, let alone this Angel fleet, even if this Angel fleet plus the Mechanical Wasteland came together, Dorothy didn't doubt for a second that her ancestor could easily solo them. However...
"Qian Bao, don't look at me. I won't easily make a move, and I can't even leak my aura casually. Otherwise, everyone would be scared away directly. I will only make a move at the most critical moment. Of course, if you insist on me making a move, then I can swallow the Mechanical Wasteland directly right now, and we can just go home."
Miss Dragon Snake said while yawning.
Dorothy: "."
The Home Witch fell silent for a moment.
This Mechanical Wasteland was originally a Hongmen Banquet set up by the Demon King and the Long Wang. There was no reason to let the executioners appear before the banquet even started. So, Ye Meng Jia De's reason was also very reasonable. Of course, Dorothy always felt that her ancestor said she couldn't make a move casually because she found it troublesome and was too lazy to move. Otherwise, a master of transformation could easily change her appearance and create a new identity.
"Forget it, you should just rest."
Anyway, since this lazy ancestor said so, Dorothy naturally wouldn't force it. And this was originally a mission for their young people. It would be one thing if it were the power under her own command on Yingzhou Island, but if Ye Meng Jia De made a move, that would be playing dirty and calling for parents. The Home Witch felt she still had some of her own pride.
Therefore, after counting, the Sage-level combat power Dorothy could truly use was only the Senior Sister hat on her head.
But Senior Sister Fan Ni was still crazy. If she really wanted her to exert Sage-level power, she had to combine with her to form Black Wuchang.
Moreover, she was prepared to let Senior Sister Fan Ni start cutting the three corpses to treat her illness after entering the Mechanical Wasteland. At that time, whether Senior Sister would have any accidents, and how much power she could retain after cutting the three corpses, no one could say for sure.
In short, her team was truly a group of the old, the young, the sick, and the disabled.
Dorothy had originally planned to find a corner to hide in after entering the Mechanical Wasteland, to see if there was a chance to farm and develop. As a result, Miss Michael of Heaven suddenly jumped out and expressed that she could take her for a ride. This was truly a bit of a surprise.
It's just...
"Your Highness, no, Witches are cunning."
"Your Highness, please consider the big picture."
"Your Highness, this operation is being eyed by both the Abyss and the Dragon World. You must not underestimate the enemy."
Dorothy hadn't answered yet when she saw the angels in the communication screen starting to make a scene themselves.
Seeing that the young crown prince Michael was actually prepared to cooperate with the Witches, the old ministers below the temple couldn't sit still and started advising the prince to calm down.
There was no way around it. Although Michael's angel ministers were her followers and the future team assigned to her by Heaven, she was still young after all and not yet the true Angel King, so it was a state of weak monarch and strong ministers for the time being.
Many of the angels below actually served as Michael's teachers, responsible for teaching this future master how to become a qualified Angel King.
In short, Michael was the leader in name, but in reality, major decisions still required her to negotiate well with the ministers below. This Seraph Miss had not yet possessed the true authority of a king.
Therefore, even if she herself really wanted to cooperate with Eldest Miss—after all, having experienced the Witch Night last time, she knew very well how terrifying Eldest Miss and Lady Sophie Liya on the opposite side were.
Those were two true military gods, especially Eldest Miss, who was her idol, the great Guiguzi Zhuge.
Seraph Miss really wanted to hug a big thigh.
She felt that as long as she could reach a cooperation with the Witches, her subsequent actions would definitely be a breeze.
But unfortunately, her minister teachers clearly didn't think so.
The Heaven delegation during the Witch Night was led by the faction of the Light Lord, and Michael was just tagging along for the fun. Now, those around her were all people from her own faction. These ancient angels were all making first contact with Dorothy and the others.
Even if Eldest Miss's name was very loud on the Mana Web, these angels far away in Heaven had heard of it. But angels looked at those news like looking at foreign news; who knew if it was true or false, or if it was just hype? Anyway, they wouldn't take it too seriously.
It wasn't like all races had the inhuman rise speed of Witches, with a large group of young powerhouses. As old-school Calamities, angels didn't have such fast class changes.
Therefore, most of the high-level angels following Michael at this moment were old things that had lived for hundreds of millions of years, and they had complicated feelings about Witches.
Some angels were truly traumatized by the Heaven War back then. Whenever Witches were mentioned, they thought of that terrifying God King and were filled with awe.
Therefore, they truly kept Witches at a distance, wishing they could stay as far away as possible and never want to have anything to do with this group of plague gods again.
And another part of the ancient angels were superficially obedient but unconvinced in their hearts. They still looked down on Witches as a late-rising race and felt very unconvinced about losing the Heaven War last time. That time, it was clearly the God King who was carrying; if it weren't for a good leader, could this group of young people win?
In fact, it was indeed the case. Although the God King had the upper hand in the high-end battlefield during the Heaven War, the angel army had always been suppressing the Witch army in the main battlefield below.
So, what Witches? They were just dead weight relying on the leader's radiance, a group of people who were smug just because they relied on their leader.
This group of ancient angels looked down on ordinary Witches anyway. In their view, these young people still didn't understand things, nor did they understand true faith. Otherwise, look at that God King Church; it collapsed on its own in just a few tens of thousands of years?
Their faith was not pious enough.
In short, they recognized the strength of the God King but did not recognize the Witch race. They even felt that if it weren't for the Witch race being dead weight, it would definitely be better if the God King joined Heaven directly and became the Angel King.
And this Eldest Miss personally raided the God King Cathedral; this was a great disrespect.
Although angels looked down on those Angel Witches, it didn't prevent them from respecting and longing for the incomparably powerful God King. They had no opinion on Eldest Miss teaching the Angel Witches a lesson, but if you blasphemed the God King Cathedral, then you were blasphemous.
Anyway, this batch of high-level angels was very unhappy with Eldest Miss, feeling that this young junior's ability wasn't good, and she was only thirty-something thousand Mana, yet she dared to be so arrogant. She must have someone behind her.
Look, not long ago, the Witch's Long Wang came out of seclusion to celebrate this little guy's birthday. She was probably the Long Wang's illegitimate daughter. Hmph, no wonder she dared to be disrespectful to the great God King.
High-level angels thought so in their hearts.
They believed in the God King, but they didn't respect the Long Wang, the second Witch King, as much. They felt that she was a tyrant who advocated violence, a barbarian who only knew violence like the dragons of the Dragon World. Anyway, no matter what Long Wang or Demon King, they were not as good as a single feather of the great God King.
In short, Michael and this Eldest Miss cooperate?
No, that is absolutely impossible.
If it were only cooperating with that Lady Sophie Liya beside her, they would be 100% willing. After all, that Highness was the bloodline of the great Light Lord and the Saint recognized by the great God King; she must be extraordinary.
It's just a pity that this Highness was bewitched by Eldest Miss's beauty.
High-level angels looked at Eldest Miss's face in the screen, then moved their eyes away with great resolution.
A beauty is a disaster, a demon concubine causing chaos in the world.
They also had to admit that this Eldest Miss had some beauty; no wonder she could stir up so much trouble on the Mana Web.
But this made it even more impossible to let Michael get too close to this Eldest Miss.
After all, Michael was still a young person, just at the age of spring heart moving. If she was also bewitched by this Eldest Miss, then it would be all over.
Therefore, after some thought, this group of high-level angels wished they could advise with death, only asking the young master Michael to be calm.
And such opposition from the minister teachers also made Michael unable to step down.
Clearly, she had already taken the initiative to issue an invitation to Eldest Miss, but this group of old guys didn't give her face. Did they even treat her as a master in their hearts?
"Am I the master or are you the master? As the supreme commander of this operation, do I not have any decision-making power? How long do you intend to treat me like a child?"
The golden-haired Seraph with a neutral, handsome face was furious. She pointed at the high-level angels below and scolded them with a gloomy face.
It could be seen that her resentment didn't seem to be just one or two days; this time it just happened to be an explosion.
It's just that the more angry she was, the more the high-level angels below felt that Michael must have been bewitched by Eldest Miss, and they advised even harder.
Dorothy: "."
Seeing that the angels on the opposite side were about to have an internal conflict, the Home Witch scratched her face somewhat awkwardly.
No way, I didn't say anything, did I? This can't be blamed on me, right?
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, you all calm down first."
Seeing that the opposite side was arguing more and more fiercely, Dorothy could only soothe them like this.
"Eldest Miss, don't worry, I am the leader. I say cooperate, so we cooperate. You don't need to pay attention to these old stubborns."
And Michael replied while arguing with the crowd.
Dorothy: "."
"I want to say that cooperation is really unnecessary. Everyone is for the interests of their own world. This Mechanical Wasteland is special after all. Even if we take it down, it's not easy to divide the spoils. If it goes wrong, it might hurt our friendship. So, Miss Michael, let's rely on our own abilities. The battle with you before was quite happy, and I hope we can have more wonderful competitions next."
The Home Witch couldn't be tactful anymore, so she had to refuse directly.
Of course, this was just a surface reason.
After all, Dorothy couldn't say she came to the Mechanical Wasteland not to conquer, but to provide aid, right?
You are here to fight, I am here to do business, and by the way, treat Senior Sister's illness. Everyone has different goals, so there is indeed no basis for cooperation.
Although the Home Witch wasn't sure if her aid plan could go smoothly.
I hope the people in this Mechanical Wasteland are reasonable. Otherwise, she can only continue to convince people with virtue.
And hearing the Home Witch's clear refusal, the argument of the angels on the opposite side stopped.
"Your Highness, since they don't want to cooperate, we naturally don't need to force it."
"Your Highness, with your noble status, why worry about not having beauties."
"Your Highness..."
This group of high-level angels started to advise again.
"All of you shut up. How can Heaven be great again with a group of short-sighted old stubborns like you? You old things don't know what you missed at all."
Michael was furious and scolded this group of annoying old guys, and then she looked at Dorothy's side helplessly.
"Sorry, Eldest Miss, I made you laugh. Since that's the case, let's rely on our own abilities. But please remember, I, Michael, am always willing to stand with you."
Seraph Miss said sincerely to her idol on the opposite side.
"Hmm, I am also very happy to be friends with Miss Michael."
Dorothy also answered with a smile.
The two sides ended the talks in a friendly manner, but on the radar beside them, denser signals began to flicker.
Clearly, other peers had arrived one after another.
Thus, soon, pitch-black Gothic warships emerged from the void, and the rich Abyssal aura was incomparably domineering. This was the Demon fleet.
Loud dragon chants sounded, and huge figures appeared directly. These were the dragons of the Dragon World. They didn't take warships and crossed the void directly with their bodies.
The hundred races are on their way... ===== CHAPTER 984 =====
