A Daily Lottery Turned Me into a Witch

Transported to a Western fantasy world, I became a noble with garbage-tier aptitude. Although I awakened a talent that lets me draw a lottery every day, most of the stuff I pulled was pure junk. He...

Chapter 517 Extra: Tea Party of the Behind-the-scenes People (2/2)

Kno said without any surprise: "The expansion of life, the desire to explore, and the survival instinct of competition are all rooted deep in human nature. It is normal for this kind of thing to happen in the future."

Hecate said helplessly: "So, I came here to ask if you have a solution. If I use unlimited power to suppress all conflicts and disputes and put shackles on all civilizations, I can still do it, but doing so will undoubtedly turn all civilizations into fragile greenhouses."

Keno nodded in approval and said, "Indeed, the law of absolute peace will only lead to the stagnation of civilization and the loss of the ability to deal with greater crises in the future. So I prefer to let it go."

Estra thought for a moment and said, "War, destruction, the rise and fall of civilizations are all part of their own evolution. Hecate, you only need to maintain the basic stability of the universe itself and prevent the war from expanding and destroying the parallel universe. There is no need to intervene too much."

Hecate looked at Istra and asked, "When my intervention is really needed, both the invaders and the invaded have placed their hopes on me. Who do you think I should help? If I let things take their own course, both sides are just trying to survive, and there is nothing wrong with that. If I can directly stop the source of the war, then I won't have to worry about this kind of thing."

Hearing this, Kno rolled his eyes and said, "So do you want forced intervention or do you want to let things take their own course? Why do you support both views? Are your left and right brains fighting each other?"

Elena looked at Hecate a little worriedly and said, "Mom, what are you worried about?"

Hecate sighed slightly and said, "I don't know either. It may be because I realized that I need to be responsible for these universes. I felt a little pressured for a while, so I was at a loss."

Estra picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then said, "I don't support your forced intervention."

"Hope is the fire that keeps life moving forward in the darkness, Hecate. It can be a prayer for peace, or a determination to protect one's homeland, or even... an ambition to conquer and expand. Hope itself is neither good nor evil, it is just the original driving force of life. To forcibly kill this driving force is to kill hope itself."

"How about this? We set up an arbitration body. When war threatens the existence of the universe, or there is a clear intention of genocide, the arbitration body will intervene and force intervention without you having to take direct action. Then you don't have to worry about the hopes of both sides."

"After this bottom line, the arbitration body will not interfere in anything. Wars, conflicts, rise and fall... are all the price of life's exploration of infinite possibilities and are part of the evolution. To forcibly erase them is to erase the freedom of life's choice and to kill the possibility of a stronger hope being born from the darkness."

Knozan said: "That's a good idea."

Hecate pondered for a moment, and felt that Estra's idea was feasible, so he nodded and agreed with Estra's idea.

Estra's eyes curved, and she pushed a cup made of solidified starlight in front of her. It was a rare tea set collected by Kno, and it was filled with warm liquid that exuded the scent of morning light. She said, "Don't think too much, drink a cup of tea first."

"To be honest, the reason why you are in this state is related to the way you have been doing things."

Hecate picked up the teacup and took a sip. The warm and fragrant tea brought her a strange feeling of warmth that cleansed her tired soul.

Then he asked, "Why do you say that?"

Estra said with a smile: "I guess after you woke up and returned, you must have been criticized by many people around you, right?"

"That's true, but it's mainly because I felt that nothing would happen to me, so I didn't tell them. They were worried for a hundred years in vain. It's normal to be criticized." Hecate said curiously.

"No, this is not normal." Estra said, "Of course, considering that you were once a man, it is not surprising to act this way."

"You are too protective of the people around you. You don't let them get hurt at all. Even when Betty went to gain experience, you often went to meet her so that she wouldn't be scared. You completely killed the possibility that she could have grown up."

Hecate: “….”

Estra said: "You should trust them and give them room to grow, instead of helping them solve problems as soon as they encounter any danger, which makes them develop a character that depends on you."

"But the hundred years you've spent have helped them grow a lot. Even Betty, who was once the queen, may end up being just a dodder in your body."

"Your current mentality of worrying about all parallel universes is just like your mentality of wanting to protect the people around you from any harm. It is useless for both the universe and them."

Hecate: ".......What you said seems to make sense."

Elaina said at this time: "No, I think what Mother Hecate did is also very kind, it can give others a full sense of security. Besides, Aunt Betty and the others didn't say anything, why did you scold Mother Hecate like this, Mother Estra?"

Estra was speechless and too lazy to talk to Elena.

Ever since Hecate came, Elena became Hecate's little follower, only listening to Hecate's words. As for her words, she only listened to them occasionally, or simply ignored them.

Maybe it's the rebellious phase.

Istria thought with emotion.

Then Elena looked back at Hecate, the stars in her eyes almost popping out of her eyes. She said, "Mother Hecate is amazing. She can make such a great wish."

Hecate shook his head and said, "Without you laying the groundwork for thirty-three eras, I would not be able to do this."

Elaina quickly shook her head and said, “If it weren’t for mom, we wouldn’t have done this. And mom, I dare say that no one in this world would dare to make the wish you made. The price is too terrible. It’s impossible for anyone else to know the price and still dare to make a wish!”

Hecate smiled and said, "I only dared to make this wish after I was sure that the power of luck could help me."

Elaina was dissatisfied and said, "Mom~! Don't deny it, you are a great person! No, you are a god!"

The original space-time witch Kno couldn't bear it anymore and said through gritted teeth: "I don't want to bother with you, Estra, follow me!"

After hearing Elena call Hecate "Mom" and then "Mom" Estera, Kno became very annoyed!

Estra was forcibly dragged away from here, and the first tea party of the people behind the scenes ended like this.
