So I became a witch

Neither defined nor named.

It's just that [] just represents [].

……

After all, how long has passed?

In this [] where the concept of time does not even exist, it is useless to ask such a question.

"Oh, this is really strange. It's the first time I've seen a real guest come to this place."

……Hey?

Someone's voice.

Am I hallucinating?In the final analysis, it is impossible for living people to exist in a place like this.

"It seems that you are still awake. Do you need to let you have a good rest?"

"No, no need." I replied hastily, only then was I surprised to find that the self that should have disappeared along with【】can still make a sound.

Following the instinctive call, I slowly opened my eyes.

... How should I describe the world in front of me?Like a barren land dyed red by the twilight light, the edge extends to an unknown distance.The sky is also a piece of dim yellow, and at the junction of the distant horizon, there is a huge black hole suspended, constantly devouring the surrounding matter and light.

I lowered my head and saw hands and feet that were as white as white jade.The pitch-black substance that originally covered it has faded away at some point. Although I can't see my current face, it probably still looks like a human being.

What happened, and the memory of how I came to this place, is completely lost.Just faintly noticed that something sad seemed to have happened.

"Hmm." I struggled to stand up from the ground, and suddenly felt a powerless dizziness hit me, but it was much better than the bad feeling that my body was out of control.Although I don't know what happened, but from the looks of it, I seem to have escaped a catastrophe...it's no wonder.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that since just now, the height of the line of sight has been much higher than usual, and the hands and feet seem to have become more slender and slender.But now there is no time for me to worry about such trivial matters. I turned my gaze to the direction where the voice came from just now, and saw a girl standing in front of me wearing a fox mask and wearing a red and white priestess costume.

"...Huh?" I was completely stunned.

"Oh, it seems that you have regained consciousness." The fox masked witch girl said.

"Have I met you before?" I said slowly.There's nothing wrong with that. After coming here, those memories that I once regarded as dream come to my mind little by little.

It is also a girl wearing a priestess costume and a fox mask, and it is also a grotesque scene that is out of reality. Although the time periods are different, one is in the middle of the night when you can’t see your fingers, and the other is in the dusk near the sunset, but I have a lot. With great confidence, this is where I was last time.

"Maybe that's the case." After saying this, the witch turned around and left slowly.

"Ah, wait a minute! At least tell me where this is!" I hurriedly chased after Miss Miko.

"Huh? Are you asking about the name here? This is ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇."

"……what?"

"▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇… Oh, yes, I forgot that creatures don’t seem to be able to understand the meaning here. Well, please simply understand this as 'underworld' alright."

"Hell……"

"That's right, the place where all life ends, the place where all life is born, gives meaning to this world, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇."

incomprehensible.But if the underworld she mentioned means the same thing as the underworld I learned...

"That means I'm dead, isn't it?"

Therefore, I, who was corroded by the dark matter, will show my original appearance here.If so, it all makes sense.

"You don't look shocked."

"After all, I have died several times. Well, this is not bad, at least if you do this, you don't have to hurt other people." I looked up at the dusk sky, the dark round sun murmured Soliloquy.

I don't know how my sister and the others will react to the news of my death... No, no, thinking about this kind of question now is purely self-defeating.

No matter how much you regret it, what is lost can never be retrieved.

"Pfft." Miss Miko suddenly chuckled, "It seems that you misunderstood my meaning. Although this is indeed the end of life, you are not dead."

"... Huh? What does this mean?" I was stunned for a moment.

"As the literal meaning says, you seem to be just a traveler who strayed into this place. If the soul is really dead, it will only be swallowed by the 'black sun' in an instant, decomposed and reconstructed into the grains of the world, and sent to different places. time and space. Since you can still talk with this servant here, you must not be among those souls."

Chapter 110 Blank

"...So, what's going on here?"

"Yeah, what's going on?"

Although I couldn't see Miss Miko's face clearly under the mask, I instinctively felt that she seemed to be smiling.

"Then, I won't delay the guests, you can continue to enjoy the scenery here, see you later." Miss Miko clasped her hands, bowed slightly, turned around and was about to leave again.

"So wait! In the end, you still haven't figured out anything! Oh, really, if you can, at least take me and leave with you!"

"Oh, guest, didn't you come here to enjoy the scenery?" Miss Miko seemed quite surprised.

"That's not it! How can there be any good scenery in this kind of place! I just woke up to this strange place when I didn't know what was going on."

"Well, it's going to be troublesome now. Sure enough, I still can't leave you here as a guest, it's decided, please come with me."

The miko's sudden change of attitude made me a little uncomfortable:

"Uh, is it okay?"

"It's okay, it's not working hours anyway, so the lord probably won't mind. After all, this is the first time I know that a guest has come to visit here."

"That adult? Ah... Could it be that girl?" I recalled the last time I came to this wonderful place, the girl who was sitting on the throne in white, with an inhuman aura , a flat and indifferent voice.

"Then, please come with me." Miss Miko took a step forward, and the endless wilderness just now seemed to be pushed away by a layer of fog, and countless unknown existences were revealed little by little. the road ahead.In a short while, a stretch of mountains appeared in front of our eyes. The peaks were so high that they could not reach the top. In front of the road connected to the stairs at the foot of the mountain stood a stone archway with three gates, leading to three different roads up the mountain.

It's really strange, obviously when I came last time it was just a dilapidated wooden archway, but I didn't expect it to look like it has been rebuilt this time, or maybe this is its original appearance?

"Don't stand there stupidly, come here quickly. Don't stay too far away from me, otherwise it won't be fun if you get lost." Miss Miko woke me up in a daze at the right time.

I hurriedly followed, passed the gate in the middle with her, and asked while climbing the mountain: "Uh, can I get lost on this road?"

"Of course, this is not a simple road. Didn't I say it? This is the ultimate point connecting all things in the universe. Every step of the ladder and every different road symbolizes different world lines and 'Possibility', if I stop halfway, I don't even know what will happen."

"Uh, is that so?" I quickly followed Miss Miko and walked side by side with her. "Speaking of which, did these mountains and roads exist here from the very beginning?"

"Of course not. In the original world, there was nothing, no light, no earth, no matter, no energy... it was a real [] place. Until the arrival of that lord, it was because of this that there was nothing. The place that gives meaning to existence.”

... Sure enough, the adult she mentioned is most likely the girl I have seen sitting alone on the throne of the starry sky.If she was really the first person to come to [ ], how did she build such a world in [ ]?

... I don't understand, maybe the truth can only be completely resolved when I see her.

"Ah, 'Black Sun' has started to work." Miss Miko said suddenly.

"'Black Sun'?"

"It's the black vortex floating in the sky, at least that's what I call it. Every time a certain amount of time passes, it will wake up from its deep sleep and continue to devour everything around it until the next dormancy."

I squinted my eyes and looked around the pitch-black vortex. It seemed that there were indeed many tiny dust and sand, which were continuously swallowed into the vortex and completely disappeared without a trace.

"That's not sand, but the real 'world'."

"... Huh???" I was completely stunned.If those countless dust particles represent a world, how huge is that pitch-black vortex?

"Don't worry, although it looks scary, the actual black sun is far away from our side, so it won't affect our side at all." Miss Miko said relaxedly.

"...What will happen to those worlds that are swallowed into black holes?"

"Huh? Of course it disappeared. Then, a new world will be born in the universe, repeating the process of life and death. This is 'reincarnation', and it is also the meaning we are given."

"significance?"

"Well, should it be a contract or something else? In short, that's the thing." After finishing speaking, the witch stopped talking and concentrated on taking on the duty of guiding the way. I didn't have much to say, just silently followed her side.

In this way, we don't know how long we have climbed the mountain, because we don't seem to feel tired in this world, so we have no way of knowing how long it has passed. In short, after such a long process, we finally saw The corner of the mountain top.

"..." Unexpectedly, after reaching the top of the mountain, what appeared in front of me was neither a vast starry sky nor a girl sitting alone on a throne, but just a wide and peaceful town.

"Grandma, good afternoon."

"good afternoon."

"How are you doing?"

"Business seems to be doing pretty well today."

"Well, I'm back."

Miss Miko greeted the neighbors on the side of the road one by one, and those men, women and children returned smiles and blessings without exception. It seems that this habit has been around for a long time.

"..." I stood there silently, watching Miss Miko greet people on both sides of the road all the way.

"What's the matter? Aren't you coming over here?" Miss Miko seemed to have finally noticed my abnormality, turned around and asked kindly.

"...No, it's nothing." I shook my head and started walking.Every time I take a step forward, the scenery behind me will return to blank. Those ancient buildings, huge trees, and those neighbors who just greeted Miss Miko with a smile are all accompanied by a white background cloth. disappeared.Even so, Miss Miko continued to say hello as if she had never heard of it.

Finally, we came to the end of the road, in front of a quaint wooden house, and the peaceful town behind us completely disappeared into the blank space.

Chapter 110 The Witch's Secret

"Don't look back." Miss Miko stood in front of the door and stopped me with a smile.

"...Here, what exactly is it?"

"As I said before, this is the origin of everything, the end of everything, the realm of [] named 'Reincarnation'. Go, that adult is waiting for you." Miss Miko slowly replaced I pushed open the door of the house, and then stepped aside for me to step aside.

After hesitating for a moment, I stepped into the threshold.At the same time, everything outside the house collapsed.

The mountains, the black sun, the town, and the witches all vanished into thin air.

It's as if it never existed.

The room is pitch black, with no light or other things to see, and there is no solid feedback under the feet, as soft as stepping on the void.The door behind me also seemed to be integrated with the darkness, and I couldn't find my way back, so I had to keep going.

I don't know how long it has passed, and finally a little light appeared in front of my eyes.That is the light from an unknown number of distant stars, dotted quietly in the four corners of the space.There are more and more stars, and the light shining on the road ahead becomes brighter and brighter.Before I knew it, I was surrounded by stars.

Then, at the end of this starry road, I finally saw the girl sitting alone on the Star Throne again.

"Long time no see." I blurted out, even I didn't know why I said that.

The girl leaning on the throne closed her eyes tightly, her slender eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was sleeping soundly.After hearing my words, she finally opened her eyes slightly, and the dark pupils seemed to reflect the entire universe.

"Welcome to the Throne of Yu, lost traveler." She said softly, her voice was as sweet as a wind chime, but it contained the vicissitudes of countless years.

"...How should I address you, Your Majesty the Witch?" I took a deep breath and looked up at the girl on the throne.Unlike me who was ignorant when I first came here, now I have experienced a lot of things, and my vision is very different.

"Yu Naiba's Witch, who is in charge of the 'Reincarnation' industry. Yu's name is—Crosses." The girl reported her name clearly.

Although I already had some guesses in my heart, after hearing what the other party said, my heartbeat still couldn't help but slow down by half a beat.

Except for the unknown Eleven, this should be the fourth real prophecy witch I met after the Nine Witches, Two Witches, and Four Witches. If calculated according to the timeline, she should be The first prophecy witch I met.

"Are you on guard?" the witch Crosis said, her voice seemed a little listless.

"Well, after all, she is one of the only twelve remaining real witches in the legend, so it's not surprising that she should be on guard, right?"

"...That kind of thing has nothing to do with Yu."

"Forehead?"

"Yu fought, and then failed. Witches cannot be killed, so Yu was exiled to this place, the state of 【】with nothing." Crosis said in a low voice.

"Failed?" I froze for a moment, then immediately thought of what the second witch and Meili had said.

"A witch who has forgotten what she wants and has fallen into corruption is no longer eligible to fight."

"When the twelve witches are born, the final jihad will begin. At that time, the winner of the jihad will have the power to fulfill all wishes."

"Could it mean 'jihad'?" I said subconsciously.

"Really? You know that. You don't seem to be qualified, though," said Closis.

Is that really the case?Only the twelve strongest witches can participate in this war, which is enough to rewrite all epics.

"But, shouldn't that be a war that only starts when No. 12 witches awaken? Why now..."

"...It's not like that." Crosis said in a low voice. "About holy wars, about witches, the winner gets everything, and the loser loses everything... Maybe only 'her' knows the truth of everything."

"'she'?"

"After the original witch, the second witch who appeared in the world, the first witch, Yemenia... is also the witch who exiled me, the omniscient and omnipotent witch."

One of the witches, Yemenia... I silently remembered this name in my heart, and raised my head: "The so-called jihad, really, can all wishes come true?"

"At least, that's what Yu Zhi saw. The so-called witches are just a group of losers chasing dreams that will never come true. However, the Holy War has given us the opportunity to escape from this endless cage. The possibility of bondage, even if everything is at stake... well, even though I have nothing from the beginning." Crosis smiled self-deprecatingly.

There was another silence, and after a long time, I slowly asked, "You said just now that you fought and then failed... What's going on?"
