Chapter 989

"Magic mirror, magic mirror, pray tell, who is this miserable beauty who fell from the sky, descending into the wasteland like a meteor, and although she is in a sorry state, possesses a unique, shattered aesthetic?"

Intelligent Machine Wasteland World, Palade Mountains.

The highest peak of the originally towering mountain range, Mount Helata, had just had its summit sliced off by an extraterrestrial meteor, forced to be demoted to the second-highest mountain. However, on the platform created at the summit, a pool of amorphous dark chaos covered in blood-colored eyes writhed, eventually forming a human shape.

It was a naked beauty.

Her waist-length black hair was deeper than the night sky, her bright cross-shaped eyes were as brilliant as stars, and her tall, graceful figure was like the supreme masterpiece of a god, without a single flaw on her entire body.

This beauty who came from beyond the sky waved her hand, and the moisture in the air turned into a full-length mirror under her will. She gazed at herself in the mirror and asked thus.

It's just that...

Even though she was looking in the mirror, what appeared in the mirror was the appearance of another beauty with distinct black and white features. Her skin was as white as snow, her hair was as black as ink, and although her facial features were three-dimensional, their combination possessed an exotic, gentle beauty. She looked more like an immortal than a witch, but the goat pupils within those beautiful willow-leaf eyes made her appear somewhat eerie and bewitching.

And at this moment, the beauty in the mirror rolled her eyes.

"Of course it's my Qian Bao, you. That you still have the heart to be vain right now is truly reassuring."

"Otherwise, what else can I do? Do you want me to lie on the ground and cry and make a scene right now? If that could solve things, then I would definitely lie down without hesitation."

Dorothy answered while reaching out and inserting her hand into her own slender abdomen, which didn't have an ounce of fat, and rummaging inside.

Of course, this scene looked a bit like self-mutilation, but in reality, that fair abdomen had only split open a small gap and didn't bleed a drop of blood. If one were to peer inside through that long, narrow gap, one would find only endless chaos, and within that chaos, scarlet cross-shaped eyes staring back at you.

After rummaging around for a bit, the Home Witch first pulled a black cat out of her abdomen, then tossed it aside, then pulled out a dragon hatchling and tossed it aside, and finally pulled out a leather briefcase, her eyes lighting up.

"Thank goodness my treasures are all here; if they had all been digested, it would have been a huge loss."

She laughed while opening the briefcase.

And beside her, the little black cat that had been tossed aside nimbly adjusted its posture in mid-air, landing steadily on the ground. Then, its tiger-like eyes landed on the beauty beside it, some confusion in its gaze.

From its appearance, this was its master, no doubt, but why did her aura feel different from before?

But never mind, since it's the master, then there's no problem.

Thus, the happy little black cat ran happily to the Home Witch's side, circling her.

And the dragon hatchling that had also been tossed aside sprayed a scarlet torrent of mana from its peculiar dragon wings. It hovered in the air, also looking at its different master with some confusion, but after seeing the black cat's actions, it also happily let out a milky dragon roar and then circled the Home Witch in the air.

As for Dorothy herself, she took a spare set of robes out of the briefcase and snapped her fingers.

Then, the originally neatly folded clothing suddenly seemed to come alive, stepping forward to embrace her and gently wrapping her up.

"Don't say it like you were eaten by me, okay? I'm not that scary."

The beauty in the mirror patiently finished admiring the entire process of the beauty getting dressed before protesting with dissatisfaction.

"My situation right now is no different from being eaten by you, Senior, okay? Every bit of our flesh and blood has fused together. But never mind, it was my own mistake; I didn't anticipate this development, so I can't blame anyone else."

After Dorothy was dressed, she closed her eyes and felt her current state.

Well, I have to say, the state is actually excellent. Originally, her Black Wuchang state was strong, but it had to be a fusion transformation skill. As mentioned before, during the transformation, she would be continuously robbed of her "Yang energy" by the senior. Even a soul as bright as the sun couldn't withstand that bottomless, unfillable craving, so she would feel colder and colder.

But at this moment, she had changed from an outsider to one of their own; the two had completely merged into one, inseparable. Therefore, although she felt a bit gloomy right now, as if cloudy skies were covering the sun, at least she didn't feel cold anymore.

And apart from the small problem of feeling gloomy, everything else was a benefit. Almost endless mana surged within her body; this was the Black Wuchang in a perpetual state.

Well, it seems that until Senior Fan Ni completely finishes the work of subduing the three corpses, she won't be able to log out and can only act in the guise of this Faceless Chaos.

And the End Witch in the mirror lowered her eyes slightly upon hearing this.

"Qian Bao, actually, there was really no need for you to take such a risk to slash the Faceless Chaos just now. You only needed to slash The One Who Returns All Things to One and The Mother of Dark Abundance. If that were the case, I would also..."

But before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the Home Witch.

"Senior, if we're going to cure it, we should cure it thoroughly. I'm not the type of person who likes to compromise. And the current situation is actually much better than the worst-case scenario I imagined. Let's look on the bright side; at least now the Faceless Chaos is dominated by me, so you are approximately equivalent to having captured this Self Corpse. I said it before: I am always on your side, Senior."

Dorothy waved her hand to interrupt Senior Fan Ni, who had just woken up from madness and was still talking nonsense, and said this with a smile.

Well, although the method the senior mentioned was indeed feasible—if she only slashed the Good and Evil Corpses and left the Self Corpse, Senior Fan Ni could indeed wake up—the one who would wake up wouldn't be Senior Fan Ni's true self, but the embarrassing senior Dorothy was most familiar with.

This sounds pretty good, but in reality, it would also mean Dorothy had personally erased the senior's true self, allowing the Faceless Chaos to complete its possession and erosion of the true self.

"Senior, the family I recognize is not the shell of the Faceless Chaos, but the true heart you have always used to drive this shell. Please don't make me sound like a scumbag who only craves your body, okay?"

She protested like this.

Well, she knew very well that before, these three Outer God avatars actually had no consciousness, and the reason her hat-senior could be so cheeky was just because the senior's true self had been sleepwalking while driving this avatar.

Therefore, the one she knew had always been the true Senior Fan Ni, not just the shell of the Faceless Chaos.

That embarrassing senior who acted like a troll every day but could never handle being trolled back was only a part of the senior's personality, not her entirety. And the Home Witch is a bit greedy; she wants it all.

It's like you're in an online relationship; the online lover you know is only a small side they show. After you actually meet in person, you realize that besides the online side, they have a real side. At this point, you can't say you want to erase the lover's reality and only keep the online side.

Well, although this is indeed the reason why online relationships often die upon meeting, Dorothy, as a true pure-love war god, says that the person she likes is the one behind the internet cable.

Since she is willing to meet in person, she is naturally prepared to accept everything about the other person. For the other side of her lover that she has never seen, she would only happily think that now she can find another angle to fall in love with them all over again.

One object, two loves; this wave is a huge profit.

Those online relationships that die upon meeting are actually mostly insincere; they are just moved by the external persona the other party presents, not heart-to-heart sincerity.

Personas change, but sincerity is eternal.

Although the Home Witch only knew the persona of the Faceless Chaos, what she recognized was the sincerity named Asafanni beating beneath the skin of this embarrassing senior.

"Of course, mainly because if we really did that, you would truly become the embarrassing senior, and it would be too hard to help you ascend to the top later. I'm afraid of being tired."

Dorothy added jokingly.

Thus, the End Witch in the mirror, who had been somewhat moved, immediately went crazy. She puffed up her cheeks in anger and kept stomping her feet.

"You just said 'embarrassing,' right? Good for you, Qian Bao, you really have always thought I was embarrassing. You finally spoke your true heart."

Well, under the excitement, the End Witch, who had just had a lot of presence, seemed to have turned back into the hat-senior who perched on Dorothy's head every day. Sure enough, everything the avatar has, the true self has as well.

Of course, Asafanni was actually using this anger to cover up her own panic and confusion at this moment.

Damn Qian Bao, how could she say those things just now? What "true heart" or whatever—she wasn't even ashamed; she was too shameless.

Moreover, actually, she herself really didn't mind being Qian Bao's embarrassing senior forever. After all, that way she wouldn't need to worry about the responsibilities of destiny or the guilt of the myriad races.

Although she wouldn't be complete or powerful anymore, if Qian Bao were by her side, she could always be a carefree, happy power bank. As for the "King of Witches" thing, she could just let Qian Bao be it.

Of course, this is actually considered shirking responsibility, and shamelessly dumping one's own responsibility onto others; it is indeed quite embarrassing.

If this were the clown avatar of the Faceless Chaos, it could indeed do such a thing, but the true self of Asafanni at this moment only thought about it in her heart and then buried it.

Although the responsibility is arduous and the guilt is torturous, she is not the type of person who likes to shirk responsibility, nor is she someone who fears pain. She has her own ambitions and aspirations; she wouldn't truly be willing to give up without trying.

Besides, if she were really only willing to be an embarrassing senior, she would only be Qian Bao's accessory for the rest of her life. The proud End Witch, the great future King, would never just be an accessory forever.

So...

"Hmph, Qian Bao, talk is talk, and play is play, but I must remind you: although the Faceless Chaos is indeed embarrassing, He is, after all, only my weakest avatar. The One Who Returns All Things to One and The Mother of Dark Abundance are different. They are existences that even I, the true self, find difficult to defeat. They are the manifestations of my main authorities, and their control over their respective authorities is even stronger than mine, the true self."

The End Witch snorted coldly, defending herself like this, and then her face carried a bit more worry.

"And now that they are free, they will definitely target you, who are the weakest. Sophie Liya and I are already landing; you should hurry and rendezvous with us to act together."

Hearing this, Dorothy also looked up at the sky. Sure enough, she soon saw a meteor shower streaking across the night sky.

That was her witch fleet.

It's just that...

Dorothy rolled her eyes, and a plan came to mind.

"No, Senior, I won't go back for now. During this time, you should first transform into my appearance and soothe the fleet."

"Why, Qian Bao? I'm really not joking with you; the danger of those two guys..."

The End Witch in the mirror became anxious immediately.

If Qian Bao were sought out by The One Who Returns All Things to One or The Mother of Dark Abundance, then she would really be eaten by those two guys.

Eaten in every sense of the word.

"Alright, Senior, the embarrassing one is the Faceless Chaos; what does that have to do with me, the Black Wuchang? I am much stronger than Him; even if I can't beat them, I can definitely survive, right?"

The Home Witch stood with her hands on her hips, looking triumphant as she said this.

Asafanni: "..."

Although she was very unhappy, this was indeed reality.

The Black Wuchang controlled by Qian Bao was not embarrassing at all.

"But..."

"There are no 'buts.' Senior, you just said it yourself: both The One Who Returns All Things to One and The Mother of Dark Abundance are stronger than you. So even if I rendezvous with you, we can at most only protect ourselves and have no power to counterattack; instead, we might bring danger to the fleet."

"But our goal is to subdue these two Outer Gods, so blind defense won't work. We need to attack, and in this situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, if we want to attack, we must introduce other forces."

Dorothy interrupted the senior's persuasion again and explained it this way.

And the End Witch, after all, was not really a naive girl; as someone who had received proper education on becoming a king, she could actually be considered learned and intelligent.

"Qian Bao, are you talking about the Myriad Races Fleet?"

"And the native forces of this Intelligent Machine Wasteland; don't forget that we are also here to subdue this world."

Dorothy added.

"Next, I will find a way to stir up the water. You, Senior, and Sophie Liya and the others should first find a place to develop in peace. Let's not rush to act; just wait for my news."

The Home Witch's eyes sparkled.

Well, she felt that it might be the persona of the Faceless Chaos that had corrupted her. She, a peace-loving civil engineering witch, had clearly come here to engage in construction, but at this moment, as her eyes darted around, she was thinking about how to find some exciting fun to play with.

Damn, Senior, you've ruined me.

However, although her motives were impure at the moment, the plan she just mentioned wasn't nonsense. Because of this accident, her identity had shifted from the open to the dark, which indeed provided a lot of room for maneuvering.

Dorothy stroked her chin, then reached out and took a folding fan from the briefcase, snapping it open to cover the corner of her mouth, which couldn't help but want to smile due to the constantly flashing evil inspiration.

Hehe, no rush; let's play with them for a while.

Beauty covering her face with a folding fan...

Swollen Qian, hehe.
