Chapter 991: The Fate on the Shoulder
After bidding farewell to His Majesty, Zoe led the Witch of Divine Punishment back to the Third Frontier City.
After setting up the high-ranking devil who was always breathing, she was led by Elja into a secret room deep underground, where Pasha and Seline were waiting.
Obviously, they have more things to care about than the captured devil alive.
"What do you think," Elf slammed down the heavy stone door as he fell in front of her, "can we win?"
"Didn't we already win?" said Zoe.
Elf tapped her forehead with his tentacles in annoyance, "You know what I'm asking, so stop teasing me. γ
As the last remaining transcendent in Tachira, her relationship with the High Witch is undoubtedly closer than the others.
Although the surviving ancient witches began to follow the principle that every witch is equally important after the fall of the Federation, the class of the past will still have a greater or lesser influence.
"Since she's so relaxed, I think it would be a good answer. Pasha chuckled.
"In fact...... I'm not sure," Zoe became more serious when she saw Pasha speak, "I'm afraid that the devil today is very different from the enemy of four hundred years ago, not only in the use of magic, but also in the new differentiation of types. Then she recounted the whole battle in detail, "I can say...... Mistress Akaris's idea was right, but according to her plan, humanity was bound to fail. β
Actual combat has proved that the Divine Punishment Witch is indeed a sharp weapon to restrain high-level devils, but it is a pity that relying on this alone, it is difficult to compete with the enemy on the frontal battlefield - a powerful forbidden demon body does not mean that it will not be injured, in the face of the new war machine, the greatest advantage of the Divine Punishment Witch will no longer exist, once the frontal battlefield cannot be broken, the Starfall Queen's plan is equivalent to losing its meaning.
After confirming this, Pasha seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if she had let go of some heavy burden, "So, we didn't choose the wrong follower, Lord Nataya, and we made the right decision. That's wonderful......
"yes, that's great...... Selene whispered, her voice even faintly choked, for someone who has lived for more than four hundred years, it's really an incredible thing.
But at this moment, Zoe feels the same way.
With most of the Confederacy's superiors supporting Akaris, they resolutely stood by the side of the Queen of the Sun because of their different ideas, and completely tore apart the foundation of the Federation with an unjust raid at the moment when the witch empire was in turmoil.
Zoe remembered until she died, and a comrade of the Holy Blessed Army, who was seriously injured in her hands, leaned into her arms and said in an angry voice, "You ruined all this." β
Since then, they have weighed down a thousand pounds of boulders in their hearts.
There is nothing to be afraid of death.
What is terrible is to carry the incomprehension and rejection of his partner, looking for faint hope in the darkness.
If they fail, it means that the only possibility of the witch's continuation is stifled, and such a sin cannot be offset by death.
It is with this obsession that all people endure the empty shell of their unconsciousness and persist all the time.
Now that Akaris's plan has proven to be a misguided direction, they naturally feel a long-lost sense of relief - even if the end result is the total destruction of humanity, the fate of the survivors will at least not seem so sad.
"Even so, Lord Nataya is just a tie with the Starfall Queen," Elfy rubbed his nose that was long gone, "We haven't won the final victory yet, so it's too early to rejoiceβ"
"Don't worry, if you become like this, no one will see you even if you cry. γ
"Pasha!"
Zoe smiled and shook her head, "I'm not done yet...... While it's still uncertain who will win the Battle of the Divine Will, I at least see hope. β
With these words, the three high-ranking witches all fell silent.
In the four hundred years of dark groping, hope is the most desired thing - no one knows whether the Chosen One exists or not, but they must find it, this aimless confusion hovers in their hearts all the time, and the longer the life, the more intense the torment. In the beginning, there was often a lot of discussion about the Chosen One's abilities, as well as her possible age and appearance, but when it came time to start searching for the Chosen One under the guise of "black money", no one dared to talk about this topic lightly.
Because they are afraid of creating an image and using it as the target of their search - if they find the right person, but find that it is not the chosen one, no one can afford such a disappointment.
Because of this, hope has become a luxury.
Now, however, they can easily say the word again.
Realizing this, the ancient witch couldn't help but fall into a speechless feeling.
It took a long time for Pasha to break her silence and say, "So...... Can we fulfill Nataya-sama's entrustment?"
"Entrustment?" Elk was stunned, "waitβwe haven't found the true Chosen One yet!"
"I'm okay," Zoe shrugged, "There's no rule in the ancient books of the Underworld civilization that the key holder is male or female, right? β
Nataya had left a legacy, and if the Chosen One could be found, everyone should be the master of her, and destroy the devil and revive Tachira. Although the Chosen One displayed by the Multicolored Magic Stone was a little different from what they imagined, and they could not activate the Divine Punishment Instrument, they had the same effect on dealing with the devil.
"Me too...... I don't think there's a problem," Selene spoke last, "The ancient books also don't stipulate that there is only one Chosen One, and when a new Chosen Witch is found in the future, we can change it again." γ
"Since you all agree...... All right. Elfin sighed helplessly.
"Whether there is a new Chosen One or another, I think it can be saved by replacement. Zoe looked at Pasha and said, "What you were worried about is now showing signs. β
"Did those witches reject you in battle?"
"Not so obvious," she said of Camilla, "and when she heard that I was the interrogator, she agreed to the devil's heart. This also shows that her concern for witches being harmed does not include undead monsters like me. β
The atmosphere at the scene of "......" suddenly became a little solemn, as early as a hundred years ago, Pasha mentioned such a possibility, although they thought they were witches, but the new generation of witches did not necessarily think so. There is no resemblance between the two in terms of appearance, characteristics, or abilities, not even witches, even humans can hardly be counted. Roland Wimbledon, who was able to accept them so quickly, was more of an outlier.
As the history of the Federation fades into obscurity, the new Awakened may no longer see them as members of the witches. More extremely, in order to explore the mysteries of magic and the technology of the underworld, it is possible that witches will use them as test subjects.
Although this idea is somewhat pessimistic, it is not impossible to scale it to the scale of hundreds or even thousands of years.
Hearing Zoe's self-deprecation, Pasha let out a long sigh, "I see, but I don't regret it. γ
None of the three answered, because this was also the path they had chosen.
"Our mission will come to an end if we can fulfill the last wish of the three seats," she paused, "What the future of the world will be like is not something we can control...... But at least now we can plan ahead and find a way out for ourselves. γ
"Do you want to hide in the mountains, disappear, or find a place to bury yourself?" Elfy said displeased.
"Of course not," replied Pasha, shaking her beard, "that we could be an indispensable force in the kingdom of men. γ
