So I became a witch

Chapter 7 Emperor's Ritual (1)

In the end, Tina still chose to take a step back: "...if this is what you expected."

"Then, I'll leave it to you, my children." Ruoyi smiled slightly, exuding an aura of maternal love all over her body, "In addition, I have already entrusted them to complete another mission for the Twelve Clans. To regain the glory of the Emperor and Star Clan, please be careful."

After the voice fell, Roy dispersed into countless light spots and regrouped into a spirit.The girl covered with a light veil stood up, looked back at the silent crowd, and said in a clear voice: "Everyone, the war has begun, and we have come together for a common goal. Now the day of change has come, and it is time to honor the past. promise."

The stones thrown rippled in the water.Quietly, the strings of fate have been plucked.And someone in the middle of the vortex, at this moment, is completely unaware of what is happening outside.

"Tick, tock, tock, tock..."

The echo of the mechanical wall clock strikes in the darkness, sometimes far and near, sometimes close to the ear, sometimes far away.

I don't know how long it has passed, and I woke up in the darkness.

Sleeping memories gradually recovered, and the outlines of the past and present were outlined together.

After investigating the truth of what happened to Ye Qianmo 400 years ago, I originally planned to find a way to go to the other side of the abyss through the fantasy world, but on the way, I met a mysterious man wrapped in black People, when I came back to my senses, I had already appeared in the different world a hundred years before the Four Witches woke up.

After some investigation, I found the descendants of Ye Qianmo, and at the same time, I also learned that the reason why their clan awakened the mysterious power was the "" who came to this world with Ye Qianmo 400 years ago. The Star Crown".Similar to the connecting power possessed by the imperial weapon "Star Seal Sword", the imperial weapon "Star Crown" has a special power called "inheritance". Since then, the "Star Crown" has been staying in Yeqianmo Among the bloodlines of the family, there are occasional awakened descendants who will show a power similar to that of the first generation Ye Qianmo, that is, the "Eye of the Void".

In order to win the crown of stars, and to liberate Ye Qianmo's descendants from the fate of the "savior", I chose to cooperate with Elvis, who has not yet become a witch in this era, and set the ending.In order to suppress the impulse of the witch's blood in my body, I took the initiative to kill myself, just like what I did in the Rockefeller Kingdom. Under the body of the empty shell, another consciousness was born, aliased as "Ling", under the secret guidance of Elvis, became the first savior, followed the trajectory of fate, and brought a few years of respite to mankind. After the opportunity, he died in the decisive battle with the witch's heir.

After the death of the original "Ling", my body was kept by Elvis and the others, and the genes were extracted to make a cloned "Savior".The subsequent development was also the same as in the previous world. The second, third, fourth... tenth "I" was created, replacing the girls who should have died tragically, and embarked on the road of salvation.

It was supposed to achieve a world where no one was injured, but Felix did not expect that in this world line, because of the constant death of "I" and Ivan Bell's bewitching, he went astray in betrayal.However, it seems that because of this, the fate of Ye Qianmo, who must die in other world lines, has undergone some small changes.

After Felix's betrayal, the last "I" was created in the hands of Luo Yan's parents.After sleeping for more than a hundred years, my injuries have finally recovered, which also makes the last "I" in this world have a little more memory of the past than other "I".

As the projection of "I" in this world, they are both me and not me.They have their own consciousness, can think, and can make choices, but they all embark on the same path by coincidence, and finally burn themselves, like the torch handed over, illuminating the way forward for the successors.It is precisely because of the path they walked that I was able to recover from the sea of ​​information, rewrite the fate of Luo Yan and Ye Qianmo, and with the help of the power of the Star Crown, I sneaked into the seal of the city of eternal time and space, and the real The four witches met and learned the truth about the world and the witches.Now, in order to completely end this fate, I started the emperor selection ceremony according to the method I learned from "Ling". What about in the darkness where you can't see your fingers?

Although I remember everything from the beginning to the end clearly, but the part about the ceremony seems to have been deliberately erased, and I have no impression at all.The ceremony failed?Still a success?What is the state of the world outside?During the period of my sleep, what happened?

I don't understand it at all.I tried to stand up from the ground, but my body was as heavy as lead.I simply opened my throat and shouted in the darkness, "Hello? Is anyone there?"

"Hehe~~~" As if responding to me, the girl's laughter came from nowhere in the darkness.Without hesitation, I walked straight towards the direction where the laughter came from.However, I don't know why, I am obviously moving towards the source of the laughter, but the laughter gradually drifts away, and finally disappears without a trace.

In the end, what's going on?

"Oh, it looks like you're in trouble again." The girl's voice suddenly appeared behind me, but this time I breathed a sigh of relief.

"...It's you again."

"That's right, it's me, the diligent and convenient chief nun, Meng, reporting to you." Meng said with a smile, still elusive as always.

"Why don't you see me these days, and you're the chief nun again?" I simply sat down where I was, and asked her with squinted eyes.

Meng Chang sighed, and sat beside me: "Who told us that the gods in our family still love to order people as usual, but my seniors couldn't stand it and resigned, and I was left alone. Is the chief nun already? Having said that, since I’ve helped you for so long, it’s time for me to believe in the Lord, right? That way I can live a little easier.”

"I refuse, I'm a staunch atheist," I said.

"Well, forget it, let's stop joking. To be honest, the trouble you encountered this time is really big enough, even I have a headache." Meng sighed.

Chapter 8 Emperor's Ritual (2)

"How?" I asked.

"You still ask why... have you forgotten what happened to the person who used the Star Crown before?" Meng said angrily.

"I know." I replied seriously, "But, I was originally a witch, right? Even if I end up becoming a witch like Ye Qianmo in this world, it doesn't matter, right?"

"...The point is not to become a witch, but something wrong with this ritual." Meng looked at me with an expression like she was looking at a fool, and said speechlessly.

"Huh? But didn't Ling say that the Star Crown and the ceremony itself have been passed down from ancient times, and there should be no mistakes..." I said in surprise.

"There is indeed no problem with the ceremony and the Star Crown itself. The real problem...is the last Star King." Meng said softly.

"...What?" I couldn't help asking, "But I remember, didn't the Star King's inheritance have been cut off long before the original witch appeared? If that's the case, what's the matter with the last Star King? Could it be that it was because someone from the previous Star Kings made troubles that led to the severance of the Star King's inheritance and the birth of a witch?"

Meng shook her head: "I'm not talking about something so long before the witch appeared, but after the witch appeared, born out of everyone's desire, but was killed by the witch, the last Star King."

I subconsciously covered my right eye, remembering the truth about the Eye of Void that I learned from Elvis when I was captured by him.

"Emperor-building plan..." I muttered to myself.

"That's right, unlike the previous Star Kings, that child was pushed to the throne abruptly by the expectations of others." Meng said calmly, "As a result, her consciousness was mixed into the Star Crown and became a 'curse' .”

"This, what do you mean?" Although I had vaguely guessed the answer, I still couldn't help asking Mengdao.

"Don't you understand? The child who didn't want to be the Star King was forced to become the Star King because of everyone's lust. In the end, he died in the battle with the three witches in order to save everyone from the Star Clan. Middle. The original power held by the Star Crown exists to allow the Star King to 'inherit' the consciousness of protecting the world. However, in this 'inherited' consciousness, a certain 'foreign object '. It is the existence of this 'foreign body' that makes the inheritance of Star King no longer pure." Meng said.

"... So, is that so?" I looked up at the dark sky and whispered.

The girl who didn't want to be the Star King was forced to become the Star King, and even died because of it. Then, as the last Star King, it is absolutely impossible for her to be engraved into the "inheritance" of the Star Crown. The power of ", but the "curse".

This is the truth about the birth of the erosion witch "Tiffany".After the three witches killed the last star emperor, the original universe fell apart. In order to regain the glory of the star clan, the twelve tribes fled to different world fragments with the emperor's weapon.And the one who first came to this world and sowed the seed of life was the Irene family who was in charge of the life elements among the twelve clans.When the time is right, the Irene family chooses to start the "Emperor Building Project" in an attempt to reproduce past experiments, and the person selected to be the core of this plan is Ye Qianmo in this world.However, what the Irene family never imagined was that the consciousness of the last Star King had already polluted the "inheritance" of the Star Crown.After the information was overwritten, Ye Qianmo did become the new Star King, but because of the existence of the "curse", in the end, she became a Corrosion Witch.

In the end, no matter it is the last Star Emperor, Ye Qianmo, Ling, and many other successors of the Void Eye, they are all just poor creatures under this plan.

"Now do you understand? For the holder of the Void Eye, this ritual is a huge trap. The product of distorted reality is destined not to be tolerated by this world." Meng said softly, speaking With a trace of sadness.

"...Is there no way to break this curse?" I asked.

"The method does exist, but it is impossible to realize it in the current world." Meng quickly replied.

"What's that?" I asked quickly.

"That is, to carry out a Star King's succession in a formal way, to offset the 'curse' of the last Star King. Her 'curse' is highly poisonous to the holders of the Void Eye who have taken evil paths and made a quick start, but It’s nothing to the real Star King.” Meng said.

"In that case, wouldn't it be fine to just perform a formal ceremony?" I asked.

"If it were really that easy, the inheritance of the Star King wouldn't have been cut off for so long, and the Star Clan wouldn't have to engage in any evil "Emperor-Building Plan"." The realm of Yaoyao, but now that the original universe has been split, the highest realm that can be accommodated in this world is God's Forbidden, and it is impossible for God's Yao to appear." Meng said.

"Then, if we use the Star Seal Sword..." I asked unwillingly.

"Unfortunately, it is only borrowed power after all, and cannot be your own power. And as I said, this is only the minimum requirement. Even if you become Shenyao, you may not be able to complete the emperor selection ceremony." Meng quickly told me I poured a basin of cold water.

"What, it turns out that after talking for a long time, it's still equivalent to not saying anything?" I sighed, a little disheartened.If you want to break the curse, you have to let other people besides the holder of the Void Eye accept the inheritance of the emperor, but if you are not the holder of the Void Eye, it is impossible to have the equivalent of God under the pressure of the present world. Glory-level "device".

This is an unsolvable knot.

"If it wasn't for me to help you suspend the ceremony, you may have been covered by the consciousness of the original Void Eye holder, and you will start to wreak havoc, just like when you became an 'unfinished beast' before It’s like going berserk. Although you can temporarily get rid of the threat of 'corrosion' by killing yourself once, this is not a long-term solution after all. Even if the witch can't die, the heart will still be worn out. Once the wear exceeds the limit... ..." Meng didn't continue talking, but leaned towards me.

"So, I still have to thank you?" I turned my head to look at Meng who was snuggling with me, and said.

"Well, it's too early to say that. After all, the ceremony has already started. I can only suspend it, but I can't let it end. After you go out from here, you still have to face everything in front of you." Meng said seriously.

Chapter 9 Emperor's Ritual (3)

"Is that so? Then there's nothing you can do. Speaking of which, you couldn't have been taken away by someone else, right?" I asked.

"Hey? Why did you say that suddenly?" Meng said.

"In the past, you had already started urging me to make a deal. How could you disclose a lot of information for free like now." I said.

"Is this how I look in your mind?" Meng hid her face and pretended to cry.

"I've suspected it since a long time ago. The transaction or something is actually just an illusion, right? What do you really want from me?" I asked seriously.

"..." Meng fell silent and did not answer my question.

"Why me? I don't think I have anything special about me. Even the eyes of Xu are not so special. Luo Yuze, Ye Qianmo, Ling... If they got it from you The power I got, must be able to do better than me. But in fact, I was the one who met you. Is all this really just a 'coincidence'?" After talking a lot in one breath, I looked at the dream Looking forward to her reply.

"You, have you ever thought about becoming the savior?" Meng asked me suddenly.

I froze for a moment, then shook my head: "I haven't thought about that kind of thing at all."

"In that case, why do you fight for those who are neither relatives nor long-time friends?" Meng asked.

"...I just hate seeing tragedies." I said softly.

The prince recognized the little mermaid who traded her voice for her legs, and the two lived happily ever after; the little match girl was discovered by a kind passer-by, and spent the cold Christmas Eve without incident... No matter who it is, Have you ever fantasized about such an ending?

"Those who work hard can reap rewards, and those who treat others kindly can also be treated tenderly by this world... Isn't it strange to think like this?" I said.

Meng shook her head: "As a 'human', there is nothing wrong with thinking like this. However, as far as the 'world' is concerned, this kind of behavior cannot be recognized. The so-called survival is essentially an extremely cruel thing. Life can only continue to survive by eating the corpses of other lives. The law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest are the eternal laws. The so-called division of good and evil by human beings is actually just a means of protecting oneself. The "good" The weak gather together to force the 'evil' strong to give up eating, isn't this also a kind of 'evil'?"

"Even so, despite being afraid of being hurt, human beings still choose to understand and support each other, and have come to this day. Therefore, I will trust those who believe in me. Even if the world does not approve of such behavior, I I also hope that those people can spend their lives happily and finally say, 'It's great to be able to come to this world'."

Even when he became a witch, he was doomed to miss such happiness, but even if he just looked at those blazing fires, he would feel the warmth of being illuminated in his empty heart.

"...You are still the same as before." For some reason, after listening to my words, Meng suddenly let out a chuckle, "Then, continue to move towards the direction you are determined to, and move forward boldly."

She patted the nun's clothes and stood up from the ground.

"Are you leaving?" I asked realizing something.

"Ah, because there is no need for me to stay here. Anyway, you don't plan to make a deal, do you?" Meng smiled, and deliberately pulled the hood of the nun's uniform forward.

"You saw it." I said.

"Because whether it's 'love' or 'joy', you only agreed to the deal for the sake of others. You have never made a wish for yourself, and this time will be no exception." The corner of Meng's mouth rose slightly.

"That's really embarrassing. But you haven't answered my question yet. Didn't we meet a long time ago?" I said.

"The answer to this question will be answered when we meet next time." Meng deliberately said, "Goodbye, Luo Tianchen, before our contract is concluded, don't die."

She turned around, waved her hand with her back to me, and her figure gradually merged into the darkness.Suddenly, I was the only one left in the whole world, and the surrounding was eerily quiet.

According to the dream, I should still be on the way to the emperor's ceremony, and if I don't want to solve the "curse" left by the last star emperor, the best situation is to become like Ling, sometimes sober, sometimes crazy, You can only rely on the power of the city of eternal time and space to seal yourself.As for the worse situation, my consciousness is covered by the other party, and I am completely reduced to a tool that can only kill.

Whether it's for myself or for those who believe in me and keep fighting, I can't lose.

I took a deep breath and seriously shouted into the darkness: "Okay, don't hide, I already know your existence."

As if responding to my words, the dark surface seemed to have been artificially peeled off a layer of liquid, and after some weird wriggling, it gradually formed a human shape exactly like me.

"...Sure enough, it's you." I said with a sigh.I had met her once back in Rockefeller's world.When I am in pain, when I am desperate, when I want to give up, that voice keeps appearing in my ears.

You are me.

"Why, reject 'me'?" The doll that looks exactly like me said with the same voice as me.

I am you.

"That's right, I've been running away." I said softly.

If this is the fate of the holder of the Void Eye, then I will not run away from it.

"It's time to make a break."

As soon as I finished speaking, the surrounding darkness suddenly rioted, engulfing me and another girl with the same appearance in an instant.Countless negative emotions flooded into my head, trying to overwhelm my consciousness.

so painful--

So desperate——

so boring--

Instead of this, it is better to start from the beginning...

...do not appear in this world.

"So, kill, conquer, plunder, dominate.

No need to care, no need to suffer.

Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish.

All eternity and night, only Yu will survive forever. "

"Hmm!" I gritted my teeth, feeling like I was riding a light boat, sailing in a violent storm, and if I was not careful, I would fall into the water and become a part of that darkness.

In order to fight against this dark consciousness, I tried my best to shout to this empty world: "Things like that... are absolutely wrong!"

Chapter 10 Emperor's Ritual (End)

"What is right? What is wrong? What do the laws defined by human beings have to do with me? No restraint, no rebellion, this is the true meaning of a witch!"

Countless hands stretched out from the depths of the darkness, constantly wrapping around my body, trying to pull me into the darkness.

No, the power gap between the two sides is too great, if this is the case...

I gave up resistance and let my body sink into the depths of darkness.

"Finally, I've caught you." The darkness regrouped into a human form in front of my eyes, looking at me mockingly and said.

"Ah, I finally caught you." I murmured, and took the initiative to hug him tightly.

"!!!" The unimaginable pain penetrated into the bone marrow and nerves, and the self-awareness and memory are being eroded and rewritten bit by bit. This is the power of the Corrosion Witch. No matter who it is, as long as it is infected with it, it will never be able to escape. .And this power, especially for the holder of the Void Eye, is truly poisonous. Even as strong as the Four Witches, they can barely maintain part of themselves, but they will still be infected by the desire to "corrode". Actively destroy the world you created.
