Otaku Witch

"I personally believe that the fallen great man is the most important, after all, I once tried to cast a Forbidden Curse Level hypnosis on that 'Lord of the World' who has become a specimen, but I failed. Have you ever seen a mortal who could resist the brainwashing of a Forbidden Curse with their sheer will?"

"I used to think that the so-called Brave was merely a fictional legend, but there's no doubt that the 'Divine Emperor' from that small world is a genuine, bona fide Brave."

......

These are records from 'Master of Miracles'.

Previously, Sophia had treated these as stories rather than reality, mainly because of descriptions in the story such as 'comparable to the rise of the Divine King' and 'potential for Calamity' among others.

Such evaluations were too high; for a witch, the God King is so noble and great that some random Joe from a minor world could hardly challenge his stature.

But now....

The Pure White Angel first looked down at herself.

Hmm, a great calamity had arrived.

Then, she looked at the young lady opposite her and the God King.

Alright, a double dose of heaven-sent bigwigs.

Lastly, she looked at the Church of Machinery Rebel Army lying all around and swearing to fight to the death.

Although Sophia did not know what the teachings of the so-called Church of Machinery were, she could vaguely guess some of them, after all, she had personally witnessed the young lady's Moon God Cult obtain the Destined Canon 'Genesis'.

If it's the doctrine of 'Genesis', then it surely qualifies as miraculous thought.

With this in mind, it seemed that all three elements of the Master of Miracles mentioned in the 'Adventurer's Diary' had been fulfilled, even exceeded.

Of course, the Church of Machinery's Rebel Army present now was still far from the fully-formed Master of Miracles recorded in the books, but if what was recorded is true, then.....

The thought of a Title-level Sorceress almost falling prey to that small world made Sophia furrow her brow, sensing upcoming troubles.

According to the book, the Divine Emperor leading the Master of Miracles faltered due to a lack of vision, unaware of the terror of witches, but such a mistake would never be made by her young lady. If the leader of that Master of Miracles had been the young lady, the Title-level Sorceress would probably have really been overturned.

And besides, the leader of this Master of Miracles is not only the young lady, but also the God King, as well as the future assistance of Witch Students...

Anyway, Sophia's mood at this moment was no longer so beautiful.

Although it would be good for her if the young lady won, since she could obtain her freedom directly from her mother, the feeling of helplessly losing to the young lady once again was frustrating.

Unfortunately, no matter how frustrated she felt, there was nothing she could do about it, especially since her reinforcements had already been driven away, and she and the elite vanguard were still trapped in the Eight Trigrams Formation by the young lady. The current expedition had actually failed.

If she waited for the Church of Machinery's Rebel Army to join forces with the young lady's Mechanical Puppet Army, the pressure she would face would only increase, and it's possible that even the elite vanguard might suffer losses.

"No, it's time to break out. Never mind the failed expedition, I must preserve my strength as much as possible, or else my future battles will be even more difficult."

The Pure White Angel quickly made up her mind, a decision that aligned with her principle of maximizing benefits.

A failed strategy should be abandoned immediately, definitely not letting emotions such as anger or frustration cloud one's judgement of the overall situation.

Therefore...

"Young Lady, you've indeed won this time, but our battle is not over. Next time, I'll be even more prepared."

Sophia took one last look at the young lady, then telepathically conveyed this message.

At this, Dorothy's face changed; she immediately realized that her good friend intended to slip away. She was just about to order the Mechanical Army to completely lock down the space in this area.

But it was too late because a feather had fallen from the Pure White Angel's wings, followed by an endless sea of Holy Light radiating outward, forming the figure of a majestic Angel with twelve wings on its back.

The Angel's Phantom was so vast that it easily broke through the restrictions of Dorothy's Eight Trigrams Formation and then reached out to grasp Sophia and the surrounding Church army in its palm.

Eventually, the Phantom of the Lord of Glory seemed interested as it glanced in the direction of the Homebody Witch and finally vanished into light on the spot.

Along with it, all the Church personnel at the site disappeared as well.

Dorothy: "...."

Damn, calling in her daddy to cheat when she can't win, Sophia, you're shameless.

The Homebody Witch, still somewhat shaken, stared at the spot where the light had just disappeared, truly not having expected that Sophia had such an ace up her sleeve.

But after cursing, she laughed again because, after all, she had actually come out ahead in this encounter.

Because when the Phantom of the Lord of Glory glanced at her, her mind acquired some additional information.

This information explained the origin of that feather from the Lord of Glory.

It wasn't Sophia cheating or the Lord of Glory disregarding martial ethics to personally interfere with the younger generation's fight; the Feather of Glory had historical significance.

In the true history, only a weak incarnation of the Lord of Glory had descended into the Witch World, and that feather was the final trump card of that incarnation, possessing a one-time effect that could grant this King of Angels overwhelming strength.

Back in the day, the God King had to wrack his brains to deplete this game-breaking bug-like feather, and only then could he escape with the Witch World.

Now, as Sophia had taken on the identity of the Lord of Glory's incarnation, this trump card had also come into the possession of the Pure White Angel.

This was a trump card that had already existed in history, so it couldn't really be considered a sudden cheat.

Moreover, in fact, Sophia could have used the power of that feather to annihilate everyone on the spot, but in the end, the Pure White Angel chose to use this immense strength to break out of an impasse.

Honestly, it was somewhat like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

In truth, the power of that Feather of Glory was more than enough to instantly kill Dorothy and the others.

But who would have guessed that Sophia was so proud? She probably still harbors the thought of defeating Dorothy by her own hand; relying on such a bug-like trump card to win would be beneath her.

Therefore, such a powerful card was ultimately used merely for a reset, and now both parties have entered a ceasefire development period again, waiting for the next decisive battle to come.

Dorothy actually wasn't very confident in her ability to hold Sophia back, especially since her No-thought Single Cut had already been spent, and she no longer had a trump card that could threaten the Pure White Witch.

Even with the aid of the Eight Trigrams Formation and the Church of Machinery's reinforcements, she could only inflict some damage on the Church army led by Sophia, but it still wouldn't be of much use because without the No-thought Single Cut, it would be difficult even to put Sophia on the defensive, let alone kill her.

So, trading a situation that wouldn't have killed the opponent anyway for the Pure White Angel's biggest card, this was a huge win for Dorothy.

"Hmph, keep being proud, for I will make you regret not killing me on the spot more and more. That was your last chance and you missed it," Dorothy thought with a smile.

But as she smiled, turning her head to see the remains of her comrades scattered across the battlefield, her smile gradually faded, eventually turning somewhat somber.

"Sigh, it's troublesome. In this era, there's no Underworld System, nor is there a concept of reincarnation. When people die, their souls simply return to the earth, without even the prospect of becoming ghosts or spirits."

She thought with some headache, then reached into her pocket to pull out a jar and began to gather these souls that had not fully dissipated yet.

"Forget it, starting from scratch is the same anyway. I might as well set up a makeshift Underworld System while I'm at it."

...Homebody Witch in action...
