Otaku Witch

"Ah, Senior Fanny, where's the Divine Artifact you promised? Why did it break so easily? I can't afford to compensate for this even if I sold myself."

Although the fracture on the Conscience Devil's Mirror wasn't very large, just a thin line, Dorothy was still panicking. This item was a creation of the Three Kings, a rare treasure both in symbolism and practical use.

She had finally managed to borrow this Divine Artifact for her mission from the Judgment Court, and if she was to return it damaged, not even having the Great Judge as her biological mother would spare her, let alone the fact that her mother might be the harshest in punishing her afterwards.

But the Homebody Witch was really innocent. She hadn't done anything significant, just looked into the mirror a few times normally. How did it crack so suddenly?

No, Senior, you have to be my witness on this, the blame truly isn't mine.

Dorothy felt completely numb.

Senior Fanny looked at her useless Master with annoyance. She genuinely thought that the magic mirror was already broken; after all, if one compared the dominant figures reflected in the mirror with the shameful one in reality, how could they possibly be the same person?

However, the final image that obviously clashed with the Western Universe firmly confirmed Dorothy's identity. She indeed had been snatched from the Eastern Universe by the Mother of the World.

Oh, the children of other families.

Senior Fanny felt bitter inside. Why couldn't she, the mighty Future Fourth King, escape the terrifying curse known as "someone else's child"?

Although this was also her first time using the Conscience Devil's Mirror, the Three Kings Teacher had casually mentioned its capabilities in class. The abilities of this magic mirror were not as simple as just a Mind Reading Technique that could reflect the thoughts of whoever faced it, that would be too easy to deceive.

One would only need to make the person looking into the mirror believe that they weren't lying, and there were too many magic spells capable of accomplishing this.

The reason this magic mirror left no room for escape was that the Three Kings had imbued it with their Authority. The Divine King represented the Power of the Heart and could illuminate the target's spirit, the Dragon King represented the Power of the Body and could illuminate the target's body, and the Devil King represented the Power of the Soul and could illuminate the target's soul—essentially revealing the inner and outer entirety clearly.

Furthermore, the Divine King had also bolstered the magic mirror with a fragment of the Authority of Fate from the Lord of Glory, whom he had vanquished, giving it a certain capacity to penetrate the fate of the target.

Thus, nearly anyone facing this magic mirror had nowhere to hide.

The damage the mirror had sustained this time was obviously due to a pushback from Fate; the fated path it had just reflected pushed beyond its limits.

Think about it, she was destined to be Omnipotent in the future, and for Dorothy to still stand beside her, she must be either Omniscient or Omnipotent. Consecutively reflecting two True Gods, the mirror was already operating beyond its load limit, not to mention the last appearance of the supreme version of Dorothy from the Eastern Universe.

Even among True Gods, there were disparities. Take her as an example, although she was destined to become the Almighty God, she would have difficulty achieving true Omniscience. Even if she were to force Omniscience through the power of Omnipotence, it would still be a false and pseudo-Omniscience.

Yet, that supreme Dorothy could instantly detect their surveillance. The power she possessed was likely within the true realms of Omniscient and Omnipotent.

And the gaze of such an entity, even a simple one, was truly immeasurable and terrifying in its might, to the point that Senior Fanny almost died of fright just then. It was not a difficult feat for such a supreme being to kill someone across boundless space-time with just a glance.

It was precisely that single look that shattered the Divine Artifact magic mirror crafted jointly by the three powerful beings.

In any case, recalling that terrifying Supreme Being and then looking at Dorothy beside her, Senior Fanny was feeling very conflicted.

She originally thought that as a Future True God, it was already embarrassing enough that she ended up with a psychic split and was half-mad, but Dorothy, true to your name, you even surpass others in the aspect of losing face.

Even after selling you, one couldn't cover the cost of this Magic Mirror, come on, you're a supreme fledgling, aren't you? No amount of Magic Mirrors could compare to you.

Now, all senior Fanny can really do is pray that the interception by the Mother of the World is clean and tidy, because Dorothy's potential is far more terrifying than she initially thought.

Of course, potential is just potential after all, what the magic mirror just reflected were only theoretical branches of fate, whether that level can actually be reached is uncertain.

Senior Fanny suddenly understands Teacher Euphilia's feelings at this moment; having such an insanely talented kid who is not ambitious at all, it's truly frustrating when one can't turn iron into steel.

"Oh, it can repair itself, huh? Worthy of a Divine Artifact, how civilized."

Upon hearing senior's words, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest as a huge weight lifted off her heart amidst the inner turmoil.

Then she silently took a few steps back, deeply afraid that she might accidentally catch her reflection in the magic mirror again. The small crack was already scary enough, and if it were to grow, it would truly be difficult to explain.

Right now, all she hoped for was to wrap things up quickly and then promptly return this fragile Divine Artifact.

Luckily, she didn't have to wait long; noisy and rowdy voices soon came from outside the church's door.

"Let go of me, I've made contributions to the Witch World, I've shed blood for the Witch World!"

"You must have caught the wrong person, I'm a good citizen!"

"Do you know who I am? I have the Divine King's bloodline, the mark of the Divine King."

"You executioners, if you keep this up, sooner or later you'll face retribution."

...

A large group of Angel Witches arrived, being escorted by the unemotional Judges, and suddenly, this quite large church seemed a little crowded. There was no helping it; each one of these Angel Witches had their wings spread wide, as if they were frightened geese.

Are they trying to make themselves appear bigger with their wings to gain a sense of security?

Dorothy actually found it hard to understand why these Angel Witches manifested their wings every day, isn't it tiring? After all, Sophia is much better; she rarely manifests her wings at home.

However, Dorothy believes this is probably because the feathers of the Pure White Witch shed quite heavily. Every time she spreads her wings, a bunch of Feathers of Light falls, which albeit looking cool, and regardless of how much she sheds, Sophia's wings never seem to bald, but cleaning up the shedding feathers at home every day is really annoying.

The Homebody Witch's thoughts had drifted off to weird places.

However, her silent, non-talking demeanor turned out to be quite majestic, which made the previously noisy Angel Witches suddenly shut their mouths.
