Oops, I became the witch's substitute

The power of disaster was created by Pandora based on her own talents and the power of rules after she became a god. As time goes by, it has become a crisis that spreads across the world. It is not only a crisis that threatens the world, but has also become a chronic disease of the planet.

From today's perspective, the fragments of the abyss may still cause trouble to the world even after Pandora is killed.

Simply put, it has become a dog-skin plaster for this planet.

Today Fili dealt with the flute player, tomorrow a sculptor appeared in the city, a few days later someone saw a guillotine in the wild, and a few days later ghosts appeared in the forest that would capture people if they met their sight.

This was just the mess caused by Pandora alone, and the demons would launch counterattacks from time to time. Their strange and bizarre abilities really gave humans a headache.

Seven days after the crusade against the Pied Piper, the Serena Legion was still stuck in place and did not advance as smoothly as planned. The journey was also sweating profusely for the mage advisors, who had actually experienced the new version of the Kalan area. These high-school magicians were also overwhelmed. Last night, black handprints appeared on several soldiers' bodies, and a soldier who was bathing in the river was almost swept away by a water ghost. All these things were hard to guard against.

The atmosphere in the Corps was not joyful due to the arrival of reinforcements. Instead, it became increasingly serious and sighs could be heard from time to time.

The wizard consultant from Morgana's family finally lost his temper and said, "Sir Fili, come and take a look at these traces of water ghosts. Does the witch have any relevant knowledge?"

Fili answered patiently: "Unfortunately, this is a new power created by Pandora. Nothing like this has ever happened in history."

The mages handed the collected information to Fili: "The number of abyss fragments is increasing day by day. It is impossible to solve it without corresponding means. Sir Fili, can you please contact the gods in Kalan?"

Fili looked at the records accumulated in just one week and couldn't help but sigh: "I will leave tomorrow."

Before Fili finished the last task, the guards rushed in from outside again: "Sir Fili, another unknown abyss fragment appeared in the south, please..."

Originally, with Selena and the others' previous magical knowledge, they could not discover many abnormal situations, so when the abyss fragments did evil, it was as if there was a flute player flying in front of them. Now the mages came over and turned on a radar, and after scanning the surrounding area, all kinds of alarms suddenly sounded.

What surprised Fili even more was that Evelint was the first to collapse.

"No, we can't finish the work. We can't finish the work at all. Kalan is too 'dark' to start a prairie fire." Evelint started to complain that the land was cursed. "Kalan has a missing vein and chaotic magic. For us elves, it's like staying in a swamp full of miasma. It's really uncomfortable."

The Water Priestess rushed to the scene and taunted, "Oh my, you can't do it anymore?"

"Stop teasing her. This is not a solution." Fili has been using false power to invade some people's dreams recently. Most of the time, she has gained negative emotions and promoted some savior ideas to them. They still have negative dreams the next day.

The Kalan region lacks the power to turn the tide.

In this regard, Fili temporarily decided to run errands and talk to the famous deities in the northern part of Kalan to get everyone's opinions.

The reputation of the Witch of Deception is not very obvious outside, but at least she has a record of defeating Bahamut. When Fili went out to visit the various deities, everyone still gave her some face and basically summoned them all. After exchanging information, none of them had a good solution for the abyss fragments.

There are two reasons for this. First, the divine beings are focused on the front line fighting against equal opponents. Such beings are comparable to mobile nuclear weapons. In order to ensure the safety of mankind themselves, usually two or three divine beings will target one divine being on the other side. In addition, many divine beings were injured in the previous mysterious war in Kalan and were truly powerless against the fragments of the abyss. Second, Pandora's rank is indeed high. The power of disaster is indeed hateful, but it takes an extremely imaginative and abominable amount of magic to create such magic.

"Who would understand this?" Fili made an inexplicable association.

After communicating with a group of divine beings, Fili summarized the opinions of the big guys and came to a conclusion.

Abyss fragments are usually based on dark folk tales. Combined with some destroyed fragments, the power of disaster mobilizes the fear in people's hearts and creates one monster incarnation after another under the temptation of rules.

Fili told the Water Priestess and Evelint about this summary. The two elves seemed to be thinking about it. Then Fili used communication magic to communicate with Hecate and Carol, and everyone generally agreed with this view.

At this moment, Fili inexplicably thought of the birth of Bahamut, which was obviously similar in form.

Everyone was thinking about countermeasures, and Fili was also deep in thought, but the angle she considered the problem was a little different from everyone else. She first assumed a solution of boundless love, and then reversed the conclusion.

"Let me ask you a question. If an ordinary person encounters a fragment of the abyss, can he pray for the protection of the gods? The protection I mean is that the person in danger kneels down and prays on the spot, shouting 'God, save me', and then the incarnation of the gods really appears and saves him." Fili thought that he couldn't box with the puppets created by Pandora every day. If he kept pulling like this all day, would the battle on the front line still be fought?

Then this question was unanimously denied by everyone.

Hecate in the communication screen folded her hands in a bitter look: "This involves the piety of the believers, and also involves the tolerance of the gods themselves. Most of the time, prayers are one-sided. If the gods respond to every prayer, the gods' mental state will not be able to bear it. Then we have to worry about the theft of divine power and the consumption of a large amount of divine power."

The power of the gods is equivalent to a pool of water, and the fragments of the abyss are like flames running all over the ground. Wherever there is a fire, a bucket of water is poured. Even the gods cannot withstand the endless exploitation, and the pool of divine power will definitely not be able to keep up with the consumption.

"This is what I think. The power of disaster is to induce fear in people's hearts. Can we induce the justice that people yearn for in their hearts?" Fili was fed up with the negative emotions she absorbed in the past few days and felt the negativity of people's hearts. "At least create an image that the Kalan people accept, and then have one person take the lead. Whenever someone is harmed by the fragments of the abyss, her incarnation can come immediately."

The Water Maiden showed an exaggerated expression at the side: "Woah, this is going to arm wrestle with Pandora, it's not impossible. But from Pandora's perspective, it's very convenient for her. She can just materialize the fear in people's hearts. People's standards for fear are simple, but their yearning for justice is very complicated. It's very troublesome to find a targeted incarnation."

Evelint held her chin up and said, "Also, the power of the abyss fragments varies. When encountering a powerful monster, can the incarnation summoned by prayer defeat the opponent? It can be seen that this is an incarnation of "hope". Once it loses in the fight, it is more likely to breed fear."

Fili thought for a moment, paced back and forth in the room, and finally spread her hands: "What should I do? I can't just not do it because it's troublesome, Pandora, someone has to deal with it."

Afterwards, Fili thought of asking for sponsorship. The most powerful god she knew was the Goddess of the Blue Moon, who called out to Luna at night. After she told Luna about her idea, Luna supported it.

"It's just a Pandora confrontation. There's no need to waste so much magic power to create a targeted product." Luna pointed out the technical difficulties. "Unconscious gods will not take the initiative to help humans. Personalized gods have limited energy. I can lend you Qingyue's protection, but you have to solve the problem of creating an avatar yourself."

Fili nodded gently: "Whether it is Pandora or the Count, if they continue in their current state, there is no chance of surpassing them. We can only be bolder next time."

Luna snorted, "Since following the routine means a slow death, then just go for it. You are a fraud. You have the power to deceive the world. How can you know where your limit is if you don't mess around a bit?"

Since Luna said so, Fili decided to let herself go.

It has been mentioned before that when one reaches the godhood, within a certain range, the phenomenon of "don't call her name, she will be known if you call her" will occur. Anyway, as for Kalan, Fili doesn't want to point at Pandora's nose and shout on the public screen anymore.

Wait, so you’ll know when you call, right?

Fili thought of the text message bombing, which was one of the weapons in her previous life, and suddenly had a bold idea.

First, she took out the cursed ring, used this fragment of the abyss as a medium, identified the breath, and unfolded her own false domain. The power of falsehood hooked up the ring, decomposed and devoured it, and used the power of the ring to construct a new false clone. Soon, a pure girl with pink hair and twin ponytails, wearing a white long dress and holding a longbow appeared in front of Fili.

"You are Pandora, the witch of hope. When the fragments of the abyss fall and the gray fog shrouds the helpless weak, you will listen to their prayers, come to the weak with holy chants, break the abyss, disperse the gray fog, and bring hope to the world."

This false clone is in a different state from Filin. This clone does not need to be controlled with energy. Fili only gave her the simple instructions mentioned above. She will only act according to this instruction in the future. She will not walk around randomly, but appear according to the rule of "don't call her name, she will know when called".

Now that she had the tools to carry out the mission, Fili needed to provide her with a source of power.

"You infiltrated and modified the fragment of the abyss, and used Pandora's power to create an incarnation of Pandora?" Luna suddenly appeared, looking at the pink-haired girl with a complicated expression, and then decided to play with Fili, "Okay, I will grant the Witch of Hope Pandora the Blue Moon's blessing, but the power of the blessing is ineffective during the day."

"I understand. I'll take care of the rest." Fili felt that she was slowly opening up new ideas. "Now is the beginning of the deception."

……

Thousands of miles away from Miriam, Film began to fabricate the past and present lives of Pandora, the witch of hope. He racked his brains and soon created a tragic story of "Pandora, our enemy and I, share the same origin".

The general content of this story is that Pandora, the witch, is schizophrenic and has a kind side in her heart. However, after being betrayed by her best friend, she no longer believes in love and starts to take revenge on the world, becoming the current Pandora, the witch of disaster. As time goes by, her kindness separates from her original body and she becomes Pandora, the witch of hope, who is determined to correct the mistakes of her original body.

The film company followed this outline and made up a story. If they couldn't make up a story, they adapted the original work. They modified tragic stories like The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and Hamlet and applied them to Pandora. In the process, they changed the gender of the Count of Monte Cristo to Pandora, and added some Pandora's redemption. Pandora had a dog named Hachiko. Anyway, they wrote words in three days and took it to Visit the Witch's Forest.

The Witch Forest knew about Filin, and Filin also hoped to have the two great witches polish the story before publication. However, Hecate and Dorothy fell silent after reading the story.

For the witch, these stories that have nothing to do with Pandora are too magical...

"To be honest, if we hadn't fought Pandora for hundreds of years, we might have been moved by the story you described." Hecate showed an unhappy expression, "If Pandora had really experienced so many things, she wouldn't be so hopeless. It's because she was too paranoid when she was young that she couldn't change at all after a thousand years."

Because of the existence of the Tao, if Pandora believes that the end of the world is the Tao, then it would be the same as proving the Tao through killing, and standing on the opposite side of the planet.

Dorothy's eyes sparkled after reading the manuscripts. She did not comment on Pandora's actions, but asked Filin: "Are there any more interesting stories like these?"

Feilin held his forehead and said, "Please, both of you. Now we are shaping the image of Pandora, the Witch of Hope. Pandora is in Kalan now. She has no time to respond to calls from outsiders."

Hecate was a little worried: "Even so, her power of disaster is still too dangerous. If ordinary people know Pandora's name, what if there is large-scale pollution..."

Dorothy gently patted Hecate's shoulder. "What are you thinking? If spreading the name can pollute on a large scale, Pandora can openly attack a few cities and spread her own name. You have to break the tunnel effect."

Hecate clicked her tongue and said, "Okay, I am overly concerned, but Fili's idea is just too crazy, and you, Flin, you just followed suit without even thinking."

Feilin clasped his fists and begged the two of them, "I hope to ask the witches to print these manuscripts and spread them. First, let the witches know Pandora, the Witch of Hope, and then promote Miriam. Then use Miriam's Chamber of Commerce to promote it to other countries."

Hecate closed her eyes, then turned her head to read the stars, and finally landed in front of Filin: "Okay, print it into a book, publish it, and we will spread the influence."

Filin expressed his gratitude, but of course he would not go after the witch for any gain. He turned around and printed ten copies of the original manuscript, sending two to the witch, two to Marian, and the rest to the border city. He gave three copies to the spies so that they could report to the family together, and three copies to the succubi.

"This is some rare witch gossip! The legendary witch's past that she can hardly look back on!"

Since the story itself had nothing to do with Pandora, and the legend of the Witch of Hope was spread outside of Kalan, Pandora, who was staying in Kalan to recuperate and cause trouble, did not discover it at the first time.

By the time she finds out, I hope the witch Pandora can already ride on her face.

A few days later, Count Abilus of the Morgana family briefly glanced over the story of Pandora, the Witch of Hope, and put it aside.

Unofficial history may not be true enough, but it is wild enough.

Of course, none of this matters. Even a powerful man like Count Aviles is a little confused now.

"Pandora, the Witch of Hope, actually exists? How did she do it?"

Chapter 164 Film is the Witch's Lie

Count Abiles does two things every day.

The first thing is to look into the future.

The second thing is to look back at the past.

As a self-aware person, he thinks he is a time thief, using his ability to steal a future that does not belong to him and perform miracles like predicting the future. But precisely because he is a thief, he does not like the unknown.

So he planned to kill that unknown existence.

The goddess of Qingyue, a pre-historical life, a veteran god, to put it nicely she is a top-level god, but in reality she is just a mediocre person stuck at the top of the godhood.

Hecate, a witch who makes counterfeits and collects scraps, a mediocre person who is bound by the witch group.

Dorothy, a mediocre person with only the power of life being strong enough to be burned by a fire, has many flaws.

Gashiya, a mediocre person who abused divine power, had crude thoughts, and was easily sealed by his ancestors.

Morgana, a mediocre person who was blinded by her own darkness and ultimately became complacent.

It is rare for a child like Feilin to dare to lie to him openly. When he was killed, either he was not his true self or he was protected by the Witch of Falsehood.

Fili...her true identity is unknown.

Count Abiles seems to be sitting here, but in fact he has experienced a long time in the "future" in the parallel world, until he "committed suicide" and returned when he was bored. After long observation, he has realized that the future observed in the parallel world is uncertain.

Compared with predicting the future in the traditional sense, Count Aviles obtained the result, and the future he observed could change at any time due to variables.

Just like facing a powerful swordsman, the opponent's move list is not fixed, but changes at any time according to your actions. However, Count Abiles can also reduce the variables to a minimum through continuous trial and error and backtracking.

In other words, as long as he keeps returning from the future, Abels is a prophet. He has been successful in the past forty years with this talent until recently, when changes occurred.

The deceitful witch was only heard of related information at first, but it was not until recent actual contact that Count Aviles finally discovered something unusual.

He can't see.

"Once we fight, Qingyue's incarnation will fight me to the death. Even in Morgana's domain, he will be able to escape and lose all sense of existence."

Count Aviles closed his eyes and recalled what had happened.

He had been searching for Fili ever since he noticed she had sneaked into the main house. In fact, it wasn't difficult to find her. He just had to use explosive magic power to raze the main house to the ground every time.

This method didn't work when Fili sneaked into the main house, and she couldn't be caught when she sneaked into the underground secret room. Finally, after launching seven attacks in front of Morgana's territory, she still escaped.

Through the brief fight, the only thing Count Abils could decide was that Fili was not a real witch, but she was not a human either. It was impossible to tell what she was specifically. Such a guy had won Qingyue's favor. The goddess would fight him to the death for Fili. She really treated him like a treasure.

From then on, Count Abils would go to Kalan to meet Fili in person, but was always avoided by the other party. In terms of secrecy, he was willing to call the deceitful witch the strongest, a witch who could not even grasp time.

It's really hard to kill.

The so-called Pandora, the witch of hope, also seemed to appear out of nowhere. People guessed that she was related to Fili, and even believed that she was created by Fili through some means, a virtual means.

At this time, Count Abiles also began to doubt the relationship between Filin and Fili, but in the eyes of the Count, Filin was an entity that could be observed, and Fili was an illusion that could not be touched in any way. The connection between the two made Count Abiles feel interesting, but he could not find out the result.

It is not known whether it was due to Fili's interference, but Count Abilus found that his time would end in Karan.

So, if you know there is a tiger in the mountain, isn’t it enough not to go there?

"This is a battle of the road. How can we miss such a wonderful thing?" Count Aviles raised his glass, poured in red wine, closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. He seemed to be sitting on the Diaoyutai and doing nothing, but in fact he was already traveling between the future and feeling a little tired.

With the ability to predict the future, seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the most correct choice. This is the case for most of the immortal species in this world.

For example, in the Battle of Kalan, the brave gods fell everywhere, and the gods who survived had the last laugh.

Count Abils is not a reckless man to have achieved what he has today. The first reason why he decided to go to Karan was to put himself in a comprehensive crisis for the sake of the splendour of life. The second reason was that he had already placed the chess pieces and everything was ready in order to make a break between himself and his family.

"Struggle and resist, children. The purpose of your birth into this world is to die for me."

Mediocrities are supposed to be stepping stones.

……

Another week passed, and Filin completed the "Collection of Stories of Pandora, the Witch of Hope". Hecate and Dorothy were responsible for adding the finishing touches. After that, Filin went to the local publishing house to seek publication.

Miriam worships witches, and the current trend can be considered as "anything produced by witches must be good", so when Filin pointed out the signatures and seals of Hecate and Dorothy, publishing the story collection was not difficult.

Even if the publishing house does not admit it, Filin can bring in other reinforcements. He may not be famous in Miriam, but he knows a lot of real witches.

Although the story collection was completed in a hurry, the contents of the stories are all wonderful stories adapted by Film from his previous life. Take The Count of Monte Cristo for example. Revenge novels are also popular in the other world. The editor of the publishing house was attracted by the story of Pandora being wrongfully imprisoned and carrying a treasure map. Not only did he consider the face of the great witch, he also sincerely believed that the story would be popular, so he signed a contract with Film.

Film's requirements for publishing are not high, and he makes concessions. The focus is not on making more money, but on letting the publishing house print as much as possible. If the books cannot be sold domestically, he will find a way to send them abroad. There are many free workers in the Holy Kingdom of Arius. What's more, when dealing with Pandora, as long as Luna says hello, many theocratic countries will come to help.

Five days later, the first edition of the story collection came out. Filin bought two hundred copies with his own money and went to the Witch Forest again, but this time he was caught by the Sword Witch Surad.

Surad is a straight-to-the-point witch, and to some extent can be called the number one police officer among witches.

"I say, Mr. Filin, even if you are Miss Fili's friend, you can't come and go in the Witch Forest at will. As a man, you have to have a certain degree of self-awareness." What Surad said makes sense, because the Witch Forest is a private territory, and for a long time only witches have lived there, causing some young people to live a casual life and not pay much attention to privacy. It is common for them to bathe in the river without restraint.

Of course, because of the existence of witch police like Surad, many people who invaded the Witch Forest were punished. In addition, due to the concealment of the barrier, ordinary people could not get in.
