Otaku Witch

The execution by fire was merely a means to resonate Denisha's consciousness with the consciousness of the world and establish contact, but it was not the only method.

If she could find a way for Denisha's spirit to connect with the world's consciousness without suffering, then the awakening could happen just the same.

The more Dorothy thought about this idea, the brighter the light in her eyes became; the approach was indeed feasible.

The hardest part is always the beginning; once the right approach to a difficult problem is found, the rest becomes much simpler.

"Although there aren't many methods allowing mortals to communicate with the world's consciousness, there are some, at least in the future of Witch World—damn this memory seal."

The homebody witch massaged her temples with her hands before slipping into a thoughtful state.

She had seen related records in the Magic Web Library before, but due to the memory seal, the details had vanished from her mind, leaving only the titles of the books and some simple descriptions.

But that was actually enough.

"emmmmm... Excluding those methods that require the intervention of other forces and rely purely on mortals' own strength to communicate with the world... Ah, got it, but isn't this a bit sacrilegious?"

Dorothy flipped through her Memory Palace and quickly found a solution, though it twisted her expression into something weird.

Because what she ended up with wasn't any normal ritual, but the Doomsday Requiem Spear, a Forbidden Curse she had learned from the Frost Snow Lady not long before—a curse offering eternal oblivion for this mad world. (Chapter 317)

This curse was originally created by the desperate people of another world to kill their crazed Mother of the World; its very purpose was to slay the world's consciousness.

And to slay the world's consciousness, one naturally needs to know how to find it—for without a target, how could you even begin to slay it?

Therefore, this curse contained an automatic targeting mechanism; once activated, the spear would automatically lock onto the target world's consciousness.

However, the world's consciousness in Witch World is truly akin to a real mother, have always been wholeheartedly good to the witches; now to reach out to one's mother in such an inauspicious way, wouldn't that be overly pious to the point of death.

Nevertheless, if the curse could be slightly modified to remove the offensive power, it could potentially become a method specifically designed for contacting the world's consciousness,

In theory, this was doable. The problem was Dorothy had forgotten how to cast the Forbidden Curse; without the template, how could she make any modifications.

Luckily, even though she had forgotten how to cast the curse, Dorothy remembered how the people of that tragic other world had created it by observing the process on a stone slab.

Although that memory wasn't completely clear, with many parts related to Mysticism being fuzzy as if censored, the issue wasn't too significant. She could find ways to compensate for those parts later.

"emmmm... A sky sacrifice, huh? That's indeed a method, though it's somewhat difficult."

Viewing the scene from her memories of the other world, where the survivors held up the Godslaying Spear amidst a grand sacrifice and festivities, Dorothy could barely discern the method they used to pinpoint the world's consciousness.

The world and the living beings within it are naturally connected, just as a mother and her children are inevitably connected by blood. Such a connection cannot be severed by anything. It's similiar to how some people might verbally disown their mothers, but can't truly replace all their blood.

Consequently, in the magic world, many Cursing Techniques take advantage of these connections. For example, employing the blood of someone's family to curse them and so on. Some of the most malicious curses could even eradicate a powerful family, as anyone with that bloodline would be affected by the curse.

This End Spear was guided by the connection between the dominant races of the world and its consciousness, strengthened by a grand sky sacrifice ceremony.

However...

"So the problem is, the faith in this world is almost completely harvested by the angels. To hold a sky sacrifice, I'd have to compete with the angels for followers."

Dorothy's brows furrowed once again.

When it comes to cultivating faith, those angels are professionals, and the Glory Sect has already been operating in this world for centuries. Grabbing believers from under their noses when you're at a disadvantage is no easy task.

However...

Dorothy paused to think, then stretched out her hand, and a seemingly ordinary Engineering Hammer appeared in her grasp out of thin air.

This is the Mandate of Heaven Scripture.

Its name is "Genesis".

...The Homebody Witch in thought...

ps: 4600 words already, I am wrung out. That monthly pass... you know the drill.
