So I became a witch

"Those are just servants we created casually. Only the innate gods and demons born naturally are eligible to be called Shenyao. And the king of gods is the oldest one among us. Anyway, I have said what should be said, as for whether you can comprehend it, it depends on yourself."

I am speechless.The first step from the finite to the infinite is fine, but from the infinite to the realm of divine glory, I have no idea how to think about it.

No, it's not completely out of ideas.If infinity is the existence of a "concept", then breaking through infinity also means mastering the "concept".

Concepts, divine glory, witches, powers... Faintly, I seem to be aware of the commonalities among these, but I always feel that something is missing.

The mortal body is tempered, the holy soul is refined, and the stars are formed into seals. The three are extreme, and they can prove the glory of the gods.However, just taking two roads is already extremely difficult, and it is almost impossible to reach the end of all three roads.Unless, the meaning of this sentence does not only refer to its literal end, but refers to the end of the infinite "concept"... dominating its existence.

... For the time being, there is still no clue.However, if one day I can really comprehend its meaning, then maybe I can become Shenyao, or in other words, a real witch.

"By the way, what did you mean when you told me at the earliest time?" I suddenly asked the octopus floating around me, spinning boredly.

"Oh, you mean that sword. I advise you not to approach it, because it has been polluted."

"Contamination... what does that mean?"

"Did you see the black thing floating on the sword... that is sin and robbery."

"It's a crime, it's also a robbery... Then, what is it?" I recalled the huge crack I saw in the unknown space, and many thoughts suddenly appeared in my mind.

"That's the terrible existence that once destroyed our world." The octopus said faintly, "If you have reached your level, you should have some understanding of our history. We are not beings who belong to this universe, but come from The existence of another universe. However, no one should have told you why we abandoned our hometown and came to this world."

"...Isn't it for aggression?"

"Invasion?" The octopus let out a disdainful laugh, "There is nothing in this universe that we can look at. Everything is to avoid 'that thing', the 'twelve disasters' that have brought the universe since the beginning robbery'."

"'Twelve Disasters'..." I was stunned for a moment, and somehow thought of something bad.

"That's right, in our prophecy, the original 'zero' brought the first kalpa, the later 'one' wrote the final chapter, and 'two' brought judgment for all beings... Finally, 'eleven' Mark the end of the 'death' of equality. The black mist floating on the sword is exactly the 'eleven' and one of the symbols of 'death'."

"Wait, wait a minute, my mind is a little messed up..." I let it stop for a while.I finally remembered why I had such a familiar feeling after hearing its words, "Isn't this exactly the same as the witch in the prophecy!"

"Witch? What is that?" The octopus showed an unexpected look.

I was also stunned for a moment, but patiently explained to it what I knew about the witch in the prophecy and why I came here.

Chapter 61 The Day of Breath (18)

"Well, in order to prevent the birth of the Nine Witches, that's why you came here, looking for a way to become stronger? Ahhh, this is really..." The octopus raised its front tentacles and stroked its non-existent chin.

"Twelve Witches, Twelve Calamities... What exactly do they mean?"

"Just judging from your description, the two are indeed very similar. Maybe, because the laws of the two universes are different, the shape is produced? In any case, it seems that this universe is about to come to an end."

"Is there no way to stop it?"

"No. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so feared. It is said that it comes from the original sin, and it is destined to be an 'end' since birth. No one can escape, not even God. As powerful as a god king, he can't escape. The power to stop the 'jie' was forced to lead us out of the original universe, and finally came here. Even that person...speaking of it, where did that person go?"

"You mean the Star King? I don't know. Star King Lydias was already missing when Star Clan was born. Some said she was dead, while others said she just disappeared. One day she will return. The Star Clan continued like this until the arrival of the original witch destroyed everything. The Witch of One and the Witch of Two followed, further expanding the casualties, followed by the "strongest" 'The Three Witches split the universe, and the Star Clan became fragmented, and in my world, only one survived." I tried to tell it everything I knew and guessed.

"Really? If that person is not here, there is really no hope at all. Well, although I don't want to believe that person is dead, but after all, he is a human being. It’s not like it never shows up.”

"Is there really nothing to do?" I asked anxiously.

"...In this world, if there is anyone who knows the way out of Rutias, it is only that person."

"Who?"

The octopus suddenly turned aside, put its tentacles on its back, and circled me in a leisurely manner: "Hey, do you know why this place exists?"

"...Isn't it to seal you?"

"Well, this is only a part. And more importantly, in order to seal the passage between this universe and our universe, to avoid the arrival of 'that thing'."

"That thing?"

"Didn't you see it? That deep black represents the existence of 'The End of Death'."

"!!!"

In this way, everything is connected.

"I've seen..."

"what?"

"Before coming here, I once strayed into a strange world, and there I saw a white-haired girl floating under a piece of clear water, and there was an unreachable crack under the water... the girl's body The body just blocked the crack, but there was still a lot of black mist leaking out from the gap, and then, it turned into a virtual beast... Now, tell me, what is that?" I stared at the octopus Eyes, said seriously.

The octopus that had been chattering suddenly fell silent. After a long time, it let out a faint breath: "Is that so? It really wasn't a coincidence that you came here. Did she choose you in the end?"

"Her? You mean that girl? Who is she? Why is she sleeping in that place?"

"I said before that if there is anyone in this world who knows the whereabouts of Star King Lydias, she is the only one. She is Star King Lydias' only close friend and his lifelong opponent. Since you just now When it comes to the so-called "witch", I am a little concerned. I am afraid that no one in this world deserves this title better than her. Maybe you have heard of her name before. I remember that among human beings, it is so call her?"

"The catastrophic...'The Burial Girl'."

...Ah, yes, I've heard that name before.

In the legend of Star Emperor Lutias, she was only mentioned once, but I am extremely concerned about this name.

Because there is also a girl called "The Burial Girl" by my side, so I am also looking for information about the Burial Girl while looking for information about the "Eye of the Void".However, it is regrettable that there is very little information in this regard, and unlike the Eye of Void, which has never been discovered and recorded at all, it is more like being tabooed by people and deliberately hidden.

It is said that she has a great connection with the fate of Lydias.After Star King Lutias disappeared, she was not easy to find, and never appeared in front of people again.Legend has it that she has a power comparable to that of the Star King, and she has fought several times with no outcome. However, when the Star Clan was destroyed by the original witch, she still did not appear.No one knows where she went, and her whereabouts are as much a mystery as Star King Lydias.It wasn't until I came to this world that I finally learned some information about her.

In the legend of this world, she became the creation god who saved the descendants of the blood of the gods, was worshiped and worshiped by the descendants, and even founded the Moi religion.It is said that she came to this world with a certain purpose, and after fulfilling that purpose, she will not easily disappear.

However, if what the octopus in front of me said is true, then she didn't leave, but...

"Is that girl's identity the original 'burial girl'?" I said incredulously.

If this is the case, it can also explain why her pressure on me is so great, even surpassing the Nine Witches.After all, it is an existence with the same reputation as Rutias in the legend, so it is only natural that he possesses such terrifying power.If that's the case, the leads are perfectly able to connect.

but why?

Why is she doing such a thing?Why, funeral girls are so taboo by people?

My thoughts are in a mess, and I have solved a puzzle, but there are more puzzles, which feels really bad.

"I didn't expect you to know. I thought that humans would deliberately erase her existence." The octopus seemed a little surprised.

"...Because my friend is also known as 'The Burial Girl'."

"That's really unfortunate enough. For your own sake, don't get too close to her."

"Why, why does everyone have this attitude when they mention 'The Burial Girl'?" I was inexplicably annoyed, and shouted at the octopus, "It's obvious that she did nothing wrong, didn't she?"

"...There is more than right and wrong in this world. If I told you that her village itself will bring about the end of this world, what would you do?"

Chapter 62 The Day of Breath (19)

"Hey, hey, it's not that exaggerated, is it?"

"Believe it or not is up to you." Although it said so, its eyes were serious.

"...Forget it, let's put this aside for now." I forcibly changed the subject, "Why, the original 'burial girl' came here?"

"After the collapse of the God Realm, the passage between the two realms that was originally sealed by the God King has fluctuated again. And your Star King did not know where he learned about the 'Twelve Calamities', so he made an agreement with our God Race. She signed a contract. She allowed our descendants to continue to survive, and we must be suppressed in front of the passage forever to prevent the disaster from leaking."

"You mean, here is one of the passages?" I immediately understood its hidden words.Judging from its tone, the reason why Star King left behind those descendants of divine blood was not only to seal the gods and demons, but more like an act of monitoring whether the channel would have any impact.

"Ah, although we are sealed here, we can also take a walk in the outside world once in a while with our incarnation and engraving, so it's not boring. But from a certain day, disaster suddenly struck. Now that I think about it, That's probably what you call the 'primordial witch'. Our world was isolated from the universe and drifted in nothingness. In order to survive, the descendants of our family chose to merge with the seal and fell into the boundless We, who were isolated from the world, gradually became weaker and weaker, and the power of the seal gradually dissipated. Most of the descendants of the gods were eroded by the darkness from the other world, went mad and died, leaving only us lingering. If this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before this world will be completely wiped out, and the passage will be opened again. At this critical moment, that woman arrived."

"The original burial girl?"

"She first awakened our sleeping descendants, allowing them to re-establish a paradise of civilization in this world, and at the same time forcibly connected this world with the outside world to provide energy for the seal again. Unfortunately, at that time only We are the only ones left to support the surviving protoss, and we alone are not enough to maintain the power of the seal, so she brought that sword."

"That's right, did I see the one stuck in the center of the ground just now?"

"That's right. It's also one of the supreme weapons used by the Star King when he fought against our people. It seems that in the eyes of humans, it is called the King's Weapon—the Star Seal Sword."

"!!!!!!"

That is, the sword of the star seal?

It's no wonder that it looks familiar to me, but most of the star seal swords I've seen were inserted into the chest of a statue of a girl, so it's hard to tell them apart immediately.

So that's the case, was that Star Seal Sword brought to this world by the burial girl?But where did Clarence get it?Moreover, it doesn't look like there is any statue of a girl beside it.

While I was thinking, the octopus also continued to talk: "Then, relying on the power of that sword, I managed to maintain the seal. But this is not enough. Sooner or later, the tragedy will happen again, so she is right. We said, 'If someone comes here one day, tell her everything and let her choose.' Then she left, and I haven't seen her since. But , from your description, she may have gone to the root of all original sins, and then sealed the crack with herself."

"...Is she dead?"

"At that level, it is very difficult to want to die. However, it is not considered alive. After all, it is a 'disaster' that even the god king cannot resist. I am afraid that I have tried my best just to seal it. As long as As long as the crack remains, she will never wake up."

"...Why? The world hates her so much, why does she still want to protect the world?"

"I don't know about that. Humans are stupid creatures, but at the same time they do things that even gods can't imagine. That's all I know. Come on, make your choice .”

"Choice? What choice?"

"Destroy this world, or let this world destroy everything."

I was choked by its words before my breath was relieved: "Wait, why did you suddenly jump to the topic of destroying the world?!"

"I've told you before. The power of the Star Seal Sword can only temporarily make the seal last longer, but it's not forever. And now, that's the time."

"...You mean, the seal is about to be opened?"

"Ah, although some descendants of our race seem to be desperately trying to keep the seal alive by returning some of the engravings we left outside, it's just a drop in the bucket. In fact, the seal was lost more than ten years ago. Lifted, but, because of one person's choice, that choice has been pushed back to the present."

"one person?"

"You are not the first person to come here. Although we are sealed here and cannot convey the real situation to the outside world, occasionally we still leave some useful information, such as the time when the seal broke out, that The day seems to be called the 'day of prophecy' by them."

"The time when the seal is released...is this the meaning of the day of prophecy?"

"In order to find out the true meaning of that date, the humans outside successfully sent a girl here during the last time they suppressed the seal. She is weaker than you, but I am afraid that in the outside world, she is enough to be called the most The strong ones, the gods and souls they possess are extremely rare, even to the point of being close to innate gods and demons."

"That person..." I suddenly remembered what I heard from Eve.Once known as the strongest god slayer, he died with several gods and demons during a sweep.If that was a lie, then the real her should have come here before me, "Could it be the church?"

"I will tell her what I told you once. At the same time, I gave her two choices: 1. Pull out the sword, let the seal explode, and completely destroy this world."

"Hey!"

"Don't worry, that guy has prepared countermeasures for this time. Originally, this world was forcibly connected to the outside world through her power. As long as the sword is pulled out, the passage buried under this world will be completely blocked. on, and will never leak to the outside world."

"...If you do this, what will happen to the people in this world?"

"It will die." It said calmly, as if it was talking about something unrelated to itself, "Humans living in this world, and us, will die completely."

"...Why are you able to say such things so calmly?"

"For us, death is just another journey that will eventually come. This world should have perished a long time ago, and it is already worth celebrating that it has survived for such a long time. Originally, this world has little to do with you Well, as long as you sacrifice an insignificant world, you can save your world and the entire universe. Isn't this the best choice for you?"

Chapter 63 The Day of Breath (Final)

"What about the other option?"

"Of course it's just to sit back and watch, let this world be corrupted, and then spread 'jie' completely."

"...Either one is a terrible choice."

"It is true. From a long time ago, this world has been doomed to be abandoned. The choice you make is only related to the fate of other people outside this world. So, what are you going to do?" Octopus said blankly.

"Yes, it sounds very reasonable... If it is really such a simple choice, then why did the burial girl go to the extra effort to save this world? Otherwise, with her power, she wanted to forcibly pass through the burial world. If you come to close the passage, isn't it something you can't do?"

"...Perhaps, she did have the idea of ​​saving something back then. But unfortunately, it was too late. If I guessed correctly, the outside world is probably already on the verge of doomsday, right? "

"What does that mean? No, now, what time is it?" The me just now, because I was shocked by a series of truths, ignored it a little bit, and I didn't think about it until now, "You just said, the one before me What does it mean that 16 years have passed since the arrival of man?"

"Ah, don't you know? Now, it's been exactly six years since the last ceremony?"

"!!!"

I miscalculated, so to speak, I did spend an unknown amount of time in that strange closed world, but I never expected that such a long time would actually pass.

No wonder the originally glorious temple was occupied by virtual beasts and became so dilapidated.If this is the case here, then the outside world... I dare not continue to think about it.

No, actually I do.

If this place is really the world of the past, then its ending has long been doomed.

The arrival of the black membrane destroyed all existence.Here at last was born the Witch of Vengeance.

This is an unsolvable knot.As the time witch Meili said, no matter what I do, I can't change the doomed ending.

This world will be destroyed, and the prophesied witch will be born.

... Ahhh, this annoying feeling again.The powerlessness of being unable to do anything even though you know what is going to happen.

As the octopus said, even if I do nothing, this world will be extinct. Rather than that, it is better for me to take the sword with my own hands and completely banish this world to the edge of nothingness.Perhaps in this case, the catastrophe will not spread, and the witch will not be born.No matter from the perspective of profit science or economics, this is the best choice.
