Chapter 110: Chapter 110

If Yveste is a yandere big sister, then Miss Witch is a cold and aloof ice queen.

The former gives a feeling of aggressive possessiveness like raging fire, and an unparalleled physical temptation, while the latter provides sensory stimulation more from a spiritual aspect.

Just think about it.

An absolutely beautiful goddess high above, who keeps everyone at a distance, and no one can pry open her heart that has been sealed for a hundred thousand years.

Such a cold and world-weary existence, yet in front of you, softly says the words 「I am very happy」.

This kind of incomparable contrast, this spontaneous sense of accomplishment.

Damn it.

In just an instant, Lynn nearly surrendered.

「.」

Miss Witch noticed his abnormality again.

A believer being aroused all day in front of the goddess he worships, what kind of behavior is this?

Am I being too indulgent with this guy?

She frowned slightly, then gently waved her hand.

In an instant, a blanket fell to the ground.

Lynn’s face reddened, and he hastily covered himself with the blanket, finally breathing a slight sigh of relief.

Dammit.

The hard-earned favorability probably just crumbled away.

By the way, why does it feel like the Chains of Order binding Miss Witch have decreased a lot?

In my impression, there should be dozens, but now, except for the chains on both ankles, the right wrist, and the one clasped around her slender neck, all the other Chains of Order have disappeared.

Could it be the influence brought about by the ripples in fate he stirred up this time?

A few guesses formed in Lynn’s mind.

However, Miss Witch did not know his thoughts at the moment.

She was silent for a long time, then spoke again:「When you held that Level 0 Sealed Artifact, didn’t you think that you might die?」

Obviously, even now, she is still immersed in that scene from a hundred thousand years ago.

「Then how about you?」Lynn didn’t directly answer her.「When you carried out that mission, didn’t you think that you might die too?」

Miss Witch couldn’t help but frown.

She gently turned around, her slender, fair ankles faintly visible under the swirling hem of her dress, then she looked at Lynn.

「It’s different, you…」

「Actually, it’s the same.」Lynn smiled and said,「Death is certainly frightening, but if it’s to carry out the obsession in one’s heart, then even death becomes insignificant.」

For Yveste, winning the Candidacy for the Throne is the obsession she wants to see through to the end.

But for Lynn, showing off is his life creed.

As a transmigrator, he actually harbors a certain transcendent arrogance in his heart, as if experiencing all this from an overlooking perspective.

And changing these people’s originally doomed fates is the embodiment of this arrogance.

Before he came, these people were destined to die, but after he arrived, if they still have to die, then wouldn’t his coming be in vain?

Perhaps it was this type of arrogance that made Lynn choose to jump off the carriage at that time.

However, this sentence sounded a bit different to Miss Witch.

Obsession?

In his heart, could there also be an obsession?

What kind of obsession?

Wanting to avenge his family?

But if that’s the case, then he shouldn’t have chosen to jump off the carriage; he should have returned to the Imperial Capital with the money and connections he had at the time, quietly accumulating strength.

A thought flashed through Miss Witch’s mind.

If his obsession isn’t hatred, then what is it?

A certain object?

Or… a person?

Subconsciously, a figure appeared in Miss Witch’s mind.

That was herself from a hundred thousand years ago, the Third Princess of the Saint Roland Empire, Yveste.

If this is his obsession, then everything makes sense.

「…」

She gently shook her head, driving this inexplicable thought out of her mind.

For some reason, she felt a bit irritable.

「Tell me,」after a moment, Miss Witch softly spoke,「During the time I didn’t know about, what exactly did you do?」

As she spoke, she gently adjusted her somewhat tattered long dress, sat on the steps again, and then lightly retracted her soft small feet, hiding them under her skirt.

Obviously, even as the End Witch, she found it incredible that Lynn could accomplish this.

After all, that was the core of a Level 0 Sealed Artifact, and later even involved the existence of two high-dimensional demons.

Although these are insignificant to Miss Witch, Lynn is, after all, just a First-Level Extraordinary Being.

Apart from him, no one else in the world could accomplish such a thing.

「Oh, actually it’s like this…」

So in the time that followed, Lynn told in detail the entire process from when he woke up until he went to the rescue.

This involved a lot of his foreknowledge of the plot, which he glossed over; anyway, Miss Witch wouldn’t pursue it to the end like that woman Yveste.

And the parts about accumulating pain energy through the Chair of Torment and using the Thorn Crown were muddled over by him.

After all, this skill came from the System, which is hard to explain clearly no matter what.

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere fell into silence again.

「Is that all?」

Miss Witch glanced at him.

Lynn nodded.

Actually, he felt a bit guilty, because he always felt that Miss Witch’s gaze was somewhat meaningful, as if she saw through his heart.

Fortunately, in the end, she said nothing, as if she just believed his explanation.

「Next time, don’t do such things again.」

The End Witch gently shifted her gaze and spoke.

Lynn looked at her:「Are you concerned about me?」

「…As my only believer, you are currently the only one who can help me.」Miss Witch gently closed her eyes,「Also, if there is a next time, I won’t save you like this again.」

Swallower of Lies fluctuated imperceptibly, but soon calmed down.

「Alright.」

Lynn lowered his head and answered honestly. Then he suddenly realized something from Miss Witch’s words.

He clenched his fist and said with some surprise:「You have already healed my body?」

At this moment, his entire skin was smooth and unblemished, without a single wound; even his soul felt extremely comfortable, as if he had just had a good sleep.

The prior Sealed Artifact pollution had disappeared, and the Creation Demon was nowhere to be found.

Even the deep bite mark that Yveste had left on his shoulder had somehow healed.

The End Witch gently nodded:「I have already stripped all those pollutions and curses from your body.」

「But because you fused with that core characteristic for too long, in order not to damage your soul, I left it in your body.」

Lynn’s expression changed:「Then…」

「Don’t worry, I have used my power to suppress it. As long as you don’t actively touch it, it won’t erupt again within five years.」

Miss Witch said softly.

Hearing this, Lynn immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Miss Witch’s words were quite trustworthy.

Although keeping such a thing in his body is ultimately a disaster, he trusts in the End Witch’s strength.

「What about the soul of the Creation Demon?」

Lynn asked again.

Miss Witch glanced at him:「I have already erased it.」

Awesome.

Her tone was so relaxed, as if she were saying she had strawberry cake for breakfast.

「Additionally, you have completed all the First-Level trials I set for you.」Miss Witch said calmly,「So now, it’s time to advance to Second-Level.」

Second-Level?!

Although less than a month had passed since he first communicated with the End Witch, he had now fully activated all the First-Level Divine Bestowed Factors; such a pace of improvement could be described as riding a rocket.

Lynn’s heartbeat quickened slightly.

Obviously, for him right now, strength is an indispensable part.

If he wants revenge, wants to exterminate the Mosgra Family, Fifth Rank Legend is just the minimum requirement.

And from that goal, he still has a long way to go.

But with the presence of Miss Witch, plus the System, he can have the highest number of Divine Bestowed Factors at the same level, and enhance them multiple times, leaving everyone far behind.

This is Lynn’s greatest reliance.

With this thought, he saw seven Divine Bestowed Factors emitting red light suddenly appear in the palm of Miss Witch.

「Six of them are your reward for killing one hundred Extraordinary Beings of the Church of Providence, used to strengthen the Divine Bestowed Factors that haven’t been enhanced before.」She injected the Divine Bestowed Factors into Lynn’s body,「The seventh one, I will help you unlock the Second-Level restriction.」

In an instant, the barren and empty inner world bloomed with unprecedented red light!

Lynn slowly closed his eyes, sitting on the ground quietly accepting the strengthening of the Witch’s power.

Advancing from First-Level to Second-Level is considered a baptism of the essence of life; it will enhance all aspects, including physical fitness and the five senses.

This is not a quick process.

Watching Lynn who had his eyes closed and was silent, Miss Witch did not urge him, but sat on the distant steps, resting her right hand on her cheek, quietly watching him.

After a moment, she let out an almost undetectable sigh.

Accompanied by a spatial fluctuation, an old stone suddenly appeared in the hand of the End Witch.

This was something Milani had handed to her personally a hundred thousand years ago.

From the faint glow emanating from it, it can be seen that this is an ancient Image-Capturing Magic Stone; in theory, a hundred thousand years should have eroded it countless times.

Only with the owner taking great care of it, could it barely be preserved until now.

Miss Witch gently activated the Image-Capturing Magic Stone.

In the next second, a blurry projection appeared before her.

It was the scene of the black-haired youth sitting on the Sealed Artifact known as「Chair of Torment」, his body twitching and trembling continuously, expression painful and ferocious, as if muttering something.

That was pain comparable to purgatory, even she in the past found it difficult to endure, and had a deep impression of such bone-deep memories.

I don’t know, just what kind of obsession did that guy rely on to persist?

Hearing him mumbling the indistinct word「Miss Witch」, she subconsciously clenched her fingers.

Actually, the End Witch knew very well that he had just lied and concealed many things.

According to her character, she should be full of disgust towards actions like a believer lying.

But looking at the scene before her, which she had watched countless times.

For some reason, she did not dislike it.

When Lynn opened his eyes again, he felt a surging and powerful force spreading from the depths of his soul throughout his body.

At this moment, his Divine Bestowed Factors reached ten in total.

Among them, nine had been strengthened twice by Miss Witch!

So even though he had just entered Second-Level, the extraordinary power within Lynn was enough to rival those seasoned Second-Level Extraordinary Beings.

Not to mention, he hadn’t even used the System’s points yet.

Now he had increased the Plot Deviation on Miss Witch’s side to 1.20%; according to the tenfold rewards conversion, that was a full one thousand points!

If he didn’t consider his body’s capacity, and converted all these points into Divine Bestowed Factors, he could activate a hundred of them!

And for Lynn, with the Heart of the Scorching Flame Dragon, this god-level passive ability, his physique can continuously grow, and the number of Divine Bestowed Factors he can strengthen will also increase.

In short, the future is promising.

Thinking this way, Lynn’s mood improved a bit.

He looked up at the silent Miss Witch and said,「Miss Witch, according to your original plan, I was supposed to return to the Imperial Capital alone in advance.」

「Although the current situation is somewhat beyond expectations, the general direction remains unchanged. After I leave here, I will fake my death and escape, and my next stop will be Glostein, the Imperial Capital.」

Unexpectedly, Miss Witch shook her head.

「No, you can’t fake your death and escape.」

She replied softly.

?

Lynn was stunned.

Looking at his confused expression, Miss Witch slowly stood up, gazing at the dome of the Pantheon.

「The future… has been changed.」She gently raised her hand, as if touching those invisible threads of fate,「So this time, you must return to her side.」
