After bidding farewell to His Majesty, Zoey led the God's Punishment Witches back to the Third Border City.
After taking care of the dying Senior Demon, she was taken into a secret chamber deep in the ground by Alchata. Pasha and Celine were also waiting inside.
Obviously, compared to capturing a living demon, they were more concerned about something else.
"What do you think?" After closing the heavy stone door, Alchata eagerly landed in front of her. "Can we win?" "
"Haven't we already won?" Zoey spread out her hands.
Alchata poked her forehead with her tentacle. "You know what I'm asking, so stop teasing me." "
As the only Extraordinary left in Taquila, she was undoubtedly closer to the Senior Witches than to the others.
Although the surviving ancient witches began to follow the principle of "every witch is equally important" after the Union was destroyed, the past social class still had some influence.
"Since she's so relaxed, I think it should be a good answer." Pasha chuckled.
"In fact... I'm not sure." Seeing Pasha speak, Zoey became more serious. "I'm afraid that the demons today are very different from the enemies 400 years ago. Not only in the use of magic power, but also in the types of demons." She then described the entire battle in detail. "It can be said that … Lady Alice's idea was right, but according to her plan, the humans would inevitably fail."
The actual battle proved that the God's Punishment Witches were indeed the best weapons to suppress the Senior Demons. Unfortunately, it was difficult for them to compete with the enemy on the battlefield. A powerful Antimagic Body did not mean that they would not be injured. In the face of the new war machine, the God's Punishment Witches' biggest advantage would be gone. If they could not break through the enemy on the battlefield, the Queen of Starfall City's plan would be meaningless.
After confirming this, Pasha seemed to be relieved as if she had put down a heavy burden. "So, we didn't choose the wrong follower. Lady Natalia's decision is correct. This is great... "
"Yes, this is great..." Celine also whispered. Her voice was even a little choked. For a person who had lived for more than 400 years, this was really an incredible thing.
But at this moment, Zoey could empathize with him.
When most of the leaders of the Union supported Alice, they resolutely stood by Queen Sunchaser because of their different ideals. At the critical moment when the Witch Empire was in turmoil, they completely tore up the foundation of the Union with an unfair raid.
Even in death, Zoey remembered that one of the Blessed Army's comrades, who had been severely injured by her, leaned against her and said in a weak voice, "It's you who ruined everything."
Ever since then, their hearts had been weighed down by a heavy boulder.
There is nothing to fear from death.
The scariest thing was to carry the confusion and disdain of his companions and search for a slim hope in the darkness.
If they failed, it would mean that they had killed the only possibility for the continuation of witches. That kind of sin was not something that could be offset by death.
It was precisely because of this obsession that everyone endured the senseless emptiness and persevered.
Now that Alice's plan had been proven to be a wrong direction, they naturally felt a long-lost relief — even if the final outcome was still the annihilation of mankind, at least the fate of the survivors would not seem so sad.
"Even so, Lady Natalia only tied with the Queen of Starfall City." Ercha rubbed her long non-existent nose. "We haven't won the final victory yet, it's too early to be happy —"
"Don't worry, even if you cry, no one will see you in this state. "
"Pasha! "
Zoey smiled and shook her head. "I haven't finished yet... Although it's still uncertain who will win the Battle of Divine Will, at least I see hope."
With these words, the three Senior Witches quieted down.
In the four hundred years of searching in the darkness, hope was what they yearned for the most — no one knew if the Chosen One really existed, but they had to search for it. This kind of aimless confusion lingered in their hearts all the time. The longer their lives, the more intense the torment. In the beginning, everyone would often discuss the ability of the Chosen One, as well as her possible age and appearance, but when it came to the search for the Chosen One under the guise of "black money", no one dared to talk about this topic lightly.
Because they were afraid of fabricating an image and using it as a target — if they found someone who matched but found out that it was not the Chosen One, no one could bear such disappointment.
Because of this, hope had also become a luxury.
But now, they could say this word easily again.
Realizing this, the ancient witches could not help but fall into a speechless melancholy.
After a while, Pasha broke the silence. "So... can we complete Lady Natalia's entrustment? "
"Entrustment?" Ercha was stunned. "Wait a minute — we haven't found the real Chosen One yet! "
"I'm fine with it," Zoey shrugged. "In the ancient books of the underground civilization, there's no rule that the key holder must be male or female, right? After all, it's unknown whether they have a concept of gender or not. "
Natalia had left a will that if they could find the Chosen One, everyone should follow her lead, destroy the demons, and revive Taquila. Although the Five-Colored Stone showed that the Chosen One was somewhat different from what they had imagined, and it could not activate the Instrument of Divine Retribution, the effect was the same when it came to dealing with demons.
"I also... think there's no problem," Celine was the last to speak. "The ancient books also didn't stipulate that there can only be one Chosen One. When we find a new Chosen One, we can always change. "
"Since you all agree... Okay then." Ercha sighed helplessly.
"Whether there will be a new Chosen One or not is another matter, but I think we can save the trouble of changing." Zoey looked at Pasha and said, "The thing you once worried about is now showing signs."
"Did those witches reject you during the battle?" "It's not that obvious."
"It was not so obvious," she told him of Camilla's affair. "When she heard that I was to be the interrogator, she consented to the request of the Devil's mind. This also shows that her concern for witches being harmed does not include an undead monster like me. "
"..." The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy. As early as a hundred years ago, Pasha had mentioned this possibility. Although they considered themselves witches, the new generation of witches might not necessarily think so. Whether in appearance, characteristics or ability, there was no similarity between the two. Not to mention witches, they could not even be regarded as human beings. Roland Wimbledon, who could accept them so quickly, was more like an anomaly.
When the history of the Union gradually faded from people's memory, the new Awakened might no longer regard them as witches. More extreme, in order to explore the mystery of magic power and the technology of the underground civilization, the witches might use them as experimental subjects.
Although this idea was a little pessimistic, it was not impossible to magnify the scale of hundreds or even thousands of years.
Hearing Zoey's self-mockery, Pasha sighed. "I see, but I won't regret it." "
The three of them did not respond, because this was also the path they had chosen.
"If we can fulfill the wishes of the Three Chiefs, our mission will be over." She paused. "What the world will be like in the future is not something we can control... But at least now we can prepare for a rainy day and find a way out for ourselves." "
"Live in seclusion in the mountains, disappear, or find a place to bury ourselves?" Ercha said unhappily.
