Of course, the witch hadn't been completely dealt with yet.
But as long as her body was locked up in Space 2, she probably wouldn't be able to do anything for three to five years.
Luke wouldn't give her a few years.
Now that such a big thing had happened, as long as he followed Flegg, he would be able to find Amanda Walker of the Heavenly Eye Society sooner or later.
Only by finding this woman would he be able to obtain the witch's important body — the heart, which contained part of the witch's core energy.
If he didn't find it and ask Amanda if she had other witch bodies, Luke really wouldn't be able to kill the witch.
Otherwise, the other party would definitely be able to "resurrect the broken body" and then "return of the dead."
In that regard, the American government's secret agencies were definitely idiots.
It wasn't that they were stupid, but that they had to pay a price for trying to control extraordinary power.
And since it wasn't the instigator who paid the price, they naturally wouldn't feel the pinch.
Thinking about all this, Luke returned to Great Creek City in less than two minutes.
While Flegg and the others were still busy, he stealthily passed through the city and collected all the important items.
For example, the witch's tentacles, the metal cone fragments, the wreckage of the special mech, spare parts, anti-Hulk parts, space blockers, and so on.
That was the reason why Flegg's men hadn't found anything.
As the Heavenly Eye Society, which Luke was bound to purge, he naturally couldn't leave any of his and the tycoon's skills to them.
After going invisible, the level-one clone stayed in Great Creek City and waited for Flegg and the others to finish their work before he followed the clues.
In New York, Luke's main body finally had the time to check his harvest tonight.
First, there were experience and credit points.
The least was from the humanoid puppets, which were a little more than thirty thousand.
That was because they were mainly helping the witch siblings capture people and turn them into puppets. Killing people wasn't their goal, but to eliminate those who resisted and the collateral damage.
Naturally, the witch siblings took the lion's share. The wizard that was killed provided 210,000 experience and credit points.
Luke only took 72% of the credit for killing it; the rest was Tony's.
In theory, he had lost tens of thousands of experience and credit points.
But if the tycoon hadn't turned into a strong man in time and hugged his sister to kill him, Luke probably wouldn't have been able to earn such a large amount of experience and credit points. Instead, the siblings might have turned the tables on him.
The combination of melee combat and mage was much more difficult than one on one.
Fortunately, Luke had reacted quickly. When he realized that the situation wasn't right, he had immediately called for Tony to gang up on the enemies. That was how he had managed to defeat them one by one and had the last laugh.
Luke contributed more than 70% to the task of killing the wizards, and he could be considered the main attacker.
As for the task of capturing witches, the system only gave him a 40% contribution rate.
The remaining 11% of the contribution was taken by the special forces team. The tycoon's contribution was as high as 49%, and he was definitely the main force.
The system was fair.
This also meant that the tycoon was the main character in the witches' capture, and Luke was just a supporting actor. He would receive 50,000 experience and credit points.
There was nothing to fuss about. It was a fact that Tony had contributed greatly.
Besides, Luke still had the witch's "head."
According to the rules of the system that Luke had figured out, the reward for capturing a witch was only experience and credit points for stopping her operation in Daxi City.
Only by killing the witches would he be able to put the final nail in the coffin and settle all accounts.
Even the Wizard who had been cut into pieces and turned into ashes was worth at least 300,000 points. As his elder sister, the Witch naturally wouldn't be stingy and would definitely be able to squeeze more out of him.
Host's experience in the system is currently 6265000/7000000.

Then, there was a list of the witches' abilities.
The Witch's Elementary Black Magic and the Wizard's Indestructible Body both had the suffix "evil power, cannot be learned."
However, there were no restrictions on pure knowledge like Elementary Black Magic and Elementary Demonology.
Both abilities cost 100,000 credit points each, and Luke bought them without hesitation.
Even if he couldn't use black magic, it would still be good to find ways to deal with witches and similar enemies.
Knowledge was always precious.
In the Transcendent community, systematic knowledge was something that even almighty money could not buy.
In Luke and Tony's hands, it was a priceless treasure.
The final reward was the witch's "mechanical mage tower."
Although it didn't seem to be doing much after being beaten up by Luke and Tony, it looked rather useless.
But after learning about the witch's black magic, Luke did some research and realized how dangerous tonight's battle was.
Once the witch completed the energy reaction of the mechanical mage tower, its energy supply would accelerate like a nuclear fission reaction, and wouldn't stop until the witch's "magic power" was used up.
The witch hadn't fully recovered because her heart was still in Amanda's hands.
After retrieving her heart, she would be twice as strong as she was tonight, but she would still be less than a tenth of what she had been at her peak thousands of years ago.
With the mage tower and the wizard working together, she would be able to take back the heart in an instant.
At that time, the mechanical mage tower's abilities would be further enhanced.
It wasn't possible to resist Earth's high-tech weapons, but as long as she hid dozens of kilometers underground, she would be able to come and go without a trace, and she wouldn't have to worry about being hunted down.
When that happened, she would have the initiative, and Tony and Luke would have to be careful of sneak attacks every day.
Victory was one thing, and obtaining the mechanical mage tower wasn't a big deal.
But it had to be said that the witch was a genius in a sense. She had actually created a combination of machinery and magic on her own.
If Luke had to fuse science and magic on his own, he would have to start from scratch and try things bit by bit.
The mechanical mage tower, on the other hand, was a "product" that had already been used in actual combat.
Although its functions were very crude, and most of them still belonged to the category of magic, it did have some elements of science in it.
It was like how opening the lid of a kettle to boil water had always existed, but most people didn't think that it could be turned into a steam engine.
Ever since the emergence of the steam engine, the steam turbine and the internal combustion engine were quickly developed.
In many cases, scientific progress just happened to require this bit of "direction."
The witch's mechanical mage tower was just that. It was also the first "technological magic" item that Luke had come into contact with.
Coupled with the witch's knowledge of black magic, he could totally look forward to the day when technology could be used to create spells.
As the saying went, if there weren't enough spells, technology could make up for it.
Since he couldn't cast spells on his own, he could get other equipment to do it for him.
Putting everything else aside, the spatial blocker, mental detector, and mental disruptor that Tony had given him could all be considered "technological products with magic effects."
In terms of lethality, most of the witch's spells could be done by human weapons, or even better than her.
After all, casting spells required a mage to "consume their mana," while ordinary people could fire weapons after training.
The threshold for "users" between the two wasn't at the same level at all.
But Luke was looking forward to magical abilities such as teleportation, immaterialization, disintegration, and fog.
These goals would definitely be difficult to achieve, but people always had dreams. Who knew, he might succeed one day.
