Leo found himself transported into a desolate wasteland, the remnants of a once-thriving magical civilization. There, he became Yvette – an immortal witch who could neither age nor die.
For o...
Chapter 83-83- Intelligence
There was a brief silence in the cold and damp air. Looking at Abela who was deliberately showing a fierce look, Yvette and Dougrabi fell into silence.
The Witch of the End has awakened, and the day of the end is about to come... Chewing on this information, Yvette felt a little confused, wondering if the Witch of the End really exists?
Is the answer to the end of the world revealed so simply?
The evil god descended, bringing with him a horde of aberrant beings. According to information from the Abyss Base, it might have started in the ocean. Then, the original civilization was destroyed, and the evil god fell into a deep sleep, preparing to destroy the next world...
Is that it?
Is that all?
What a bad story, she thought. If this was a story, then it must be a bad story. No matter what, the origin civilization was also a human civilization that had developed for thousands of years and had brilliant achievements. But it suddenly died in such a deus ex machina. Isn’t this too boring?
No…it’s not necessarily that simple.
Perhaps the Witch of the End did not exist at first, and she later became the "goddess" among the aberrations, just like the sixth stage is called the "Commander" and the seventh stage is the nine "monarchs".
"God" may just be one of the later stages.
However, why does she appear in the mainstream mythology of the Glowing Continent? What connection is hidden behind this?
Also, the Spider Witch claims that the door to a new world is about to open. What is this "door"? Could it be the Aurora?
…
Unlike Yvette, who had a blank expression and was actually caught up in a brainstorming session, Dugrabi's feelings were much purer. After all, in his understanding, the Witch of the End was the king of evil gods who threatened the entire human world, and he didn't have so many questions at all.
After a moment of shock, it eagerly asked, "The End? What do you mean? Are you saying the Witch of the End is going to declare war on the human world? Isn't she sealed?"
Abella smiled coldly, intending to keep the secret secret, but when she saw the black dragon raise its claws, as if to strike her, she immediately calmed down and said timidly, "I... I only know that the end is coming, and I don't know anything else! But this must be the meaning, which is why the King of Tianhai is working so hard to plunder resources and train high-level subordinates..."
After the black dragon put down its claws, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but steal a glance at Lord Roshivia, wondering what this commander was up to. Why didn't he transform the black dragon that was smuggled from this new world into a divine heir?
Wait, could she be a traitor to the God's heir?
Thinking of this possibility, Abella swallowed, but after a while, she felt that the probability was not high.
Although no one knows what the consequences will be for disobeying the will of the goddess, for the heir of God, disobeying superiors is absolutely unacceptable.
Thanks to the special existence of the "Mother Nest", the hierarchy within the God's descendants is very strict. For example, in Kux, if the Purple Commander asks the Spider Witch to do something but she refuses, the Purple Commander can use the control of the Pale Mother Nest to make her commit suicide on the spot and turn her into nutrients to reward other God's descendants.
If the mother nest can be like this, then the power of the goddess is needless to say, so the traitor or something... uh, that shouldn't be possible, right?
Am I overthinking it?
Anyway, there is no doubt that Lady Luo Xiweiya is the leader of the gods. Just look at her weird hair and terrifying ability to devour evolution factors. It is impossible for the group of ants in the new world to do it - ants occasionally stray into the origin world, but they are so scared of evolution factors that they dare not actively devour them.
At this time, Yvette beside her finally digested this information. She suppressed the doubts in her heart and asked again, "What is the secret you just mentioned?"
Putting aside her wild thoughts, Abela said, "...I don't know how many vacancies there are among the Nine Lords, but the Black Tide Continent doesn't have one anyway... The End of Time is approaching, and this is an opportunity to perform meritorious deeds for the Goddess. That's why the King of the Sky Sea sent Commander Zi to secretly come to this area on the edge of the source North Sea and the Black Tide Continent to establish a stronghold and plunder the nearby nutrients... This is why I say this place is special."
Douglabi suddenly realized: "So you guys are here to steal things."
"...That's about it." Abella glanced at it.
"Are the nine monarchs prohibited from plundering resources from each other's territories?" Yvette asked.
"I... I don't know... It may be because the monarch has not been born yet." Abella thought to herself, how could I know something that you, a commander, don't know.
There is no monarch born yet, so plundering is prohibited. This probability is higher... Otherwise, this rule prohibiting plundering seems to be inconsistent with the style of breeding insects where the mutants fight each other and devour and evolve... Yvette secretly judged in her heart.
This also meant that secretly plundering nutrients from Kuroshio Island was illegal, which was why Abela couldn't judge the Purple Commander's actions. From the other side's perspective, they had come to Kuroshio Island to steal, so they had to keep a low profile. How could they have come into conflict with other local commanders?
Dugrabi continued to ask: "How many of the Nine Lords are there now? Where are they?"
Abela shook her head. "I only know two. One is the King of Tianhai, to whom Commander Zi is loyal, and the other is the King of Mingyuan, the sworn enemy of the King of Tianhai... Commander Zi should know more. He is qualified to challenge the monarch position. Yes, so is Lady Luo Xiweiya."
He paused and said, "Also, the nine monarchs are in charge of the ocean, land, and sky, but I only know that the King of the Sky Sea is the ruler of the Yuanliu North Sea, and I don't know the others..."
Hearing this, Yvette's heart moved slightly.
As far as she knew, there were three continents and four oceans in the Origin Star, or the Ending Place.
The former are Kuroshio Island, Emerald Island and Silver Mirror Island.
The oceans are the "North Sea of Abyss" and "South Sea of Abyss" at the upper and lower poles of the world map, the "Rune Sea" on the left side of the center, and the vast "Sea of Consciousness" on the right.
The King of Tianhai dominates the Yuanliu North Sea. Does this mean that each of the four oceans has a monarch?
The monarch of Kuroshio Island has not yet been born. Does this mean that each of the three continents has a monarch?
In this way, there are only two left among the nine monarchs, and they are the monarchs who control the sky?
…
With Dugrabi as her mouthpiece, Yvette could remain silent most of the time during the subsequent interrogations, disguising herself as the leader of the distortions, and just listen to Dugrabi extracting more information for her in the identity of the "New World Dragon".
She learned that the internal hierarchy of the Abnormal was extremely strict, and that from the third stage onward, advancement was impossible without the help of the Hive. Becoming either a Hive Master, a Hive Master's subordinate, or both was the only three paths.
She also learned that the Spider Witch Abella was once a local elite from the Black Tide Continent. After the Purple Commander arrived in Kux, she was chosen by him due to her high intelligence. She received a promotion and a power-up, becoming one of the three great guardians of Kux's hive—which was why she was the only one without the characteristics of a marine creature.
As for the group of mountain whales that appeared in Kux and flew to the outside world continuously, they were elite combat forces produced by the pale mother nest using the nutrients they plundered. They would follow the route through the mountains and enter the Yuanliu North Sea on the other side of the snow-capped mountains. Their purpose was to expand the deformed legion under the command of the King of Tianhai and prepare for the arrival of the end of the world.
"Any other questions?" He said a lot of things in one breath, almost emptying his head of knowledge. Seeing that the two of them fell silent for a while, Abella asked dizzily, and at the same time, his dislike for Dugrabi reached its peak.
She was almost annoyed to death by this black dragon from the New World! The commander next to her hadn't even asked a few questions when it kept whining and asking a bunch of stupid questions!
If I had known this would happen, I should have kicked it a few more times! She thought bitterly.
"Well, one last question." After digesting this new information, Yvette looked at her and suddenly asked, "What do you know about the 'God of Machinery'?"
