Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 282 Don’t Cry, He Doesn’t Care

Adele suddenly felt dizzy and took two or three steps back before she could steady herself.

"You're not kidding, are you?"

She pulled the corners of her mouth and showed a somewhat stiff smile. However, the compassionate look in Gagran's eyes said it all.

"Hold……"

Adele didn't know what to say. In fact, she felt mixed emotions after hearing the news, and she could even write a short essay. But when all the shock, loss, anger, resentment and other emotions can be expressed with a word "fuck", she really didn't have the energy or mood to say anything else.

"Look at it more positively. Maybe it's not a bad idea for you to choose the 'Assassin' path. At least even after she changes her gender, it will be within your acceptable range."

Seeing Adele's depressed look, Gagran tried to comfort her.

"...By the way, I remember you said that the 'Witch' pathway is a negative pathway, and can be converted into the 'Hunter' pathway at a high sequence?"

Adele suddenly remembered something. "Then, can I switch to the 'Hunter' path and then change back to a male? If that doesn't work, I can try to convince Venata to switch to the 'Witch' path!"

"In theory, it's possible." Gegelan nodded first, then poured cold water on him, "But there is one thing you have to understand. Changing sequences is not a fun thing. When Beyonders of the Hunter Path change their nature, they are at Sequence 4. The success rate of being promoted to Demigod is not guaranteed. If it is not necessary, no one will jump to other paths. Even if it is a strictly adjacent path, the success rate will be reduced."

"And don't forget, you are a witch of the Source School. If you digest the potion completely but haven't ascended yet, your consciousness will be wiped out by the City of Disaster. At this time, you still want to give up your demigod characteristics to your girlfriend for your own sexual fetish? Don't be so naive."

"Well, if she can't switch to the Witch Path, can't I switch to the Hunter Path? She can stay at Sequence 5 and not advance further..."

Adele wanted to make one last effort, but Gagran ruthlessly crushed the idea.

"First of all, I have to remind you that although the two paths of 'Witch' and 'Hunter' are one yin and one yang, not every stage will lead to gender change. In the formula of the 'Witch' potion, only Sequence 7 'Witch' includes a description of gender, and the 'Witch' in the names of subsequent sequences was added later."

"The same is true for hunters. Only Sequence 4, 'Iron Knight', will cause sex change. Sequences after that will not happen. Your chances are not very high. Last but not least, believers of 'City of Disaster' generally will not jump to adjacent pathways."

Geglan took out a pipe from somewhere, lit the spiritual ointment inside with black fire and took a sip.

"Why?" Adele asked hurriedly.

"Because, frequently switching between Yin and Yang attributes will speed up the awakening of the will of the City of Disaster. It originally takes a full hundred years to advance from Sequence 4 to Sequence 3. Jumping to the Hunter Path will not only not reset this process, but will shorten the already limited time to less than ten years."

Gagran blew out a light grey smoke ring. "You know, the ritual preparation for the Immortal Witch alone takes at least eighty years. If there is no god to help you shorten the ritual time, you won't even be able to complete the ritual preparation after the jump. In this case, wanting to be promoted is like seeking death, and not being promoted is also like seeking death. We generally don't do this kind of thing."

"Then why can you change your route?" Adele felt bitter in her heart.

"I'm on 'Undead', which is not under the control of the City of Disaster. I can reset the progress, but the time for the reset is almost up."

Gegran explained, "Also, I can sense that His activation is intensifying. It remains to be seen whether changing the route to delay time will be successful."

Adele wanted to ask something else but was rudely interrupted by Gagran.

“Alright, alright,” Gagran waved his hand. “We are now in the cracks of the ancient ruins, and my sister is outside. That’s why I was in a hurry to tell you this knowledge so that you can report to the people in the Church of Fools. But you keep pestering me with questions about these little things about sex change.”

Adele could only smile bitterly and lower her head, waiting for Gagran to continue sharing the knowledge.

"...Where were we before the topic of transgenderism? ...Oh yeah, the first believer in the City of Disaster."

Seeing that Adele didn't dare to speak, Gegran continued the previous topic. "In terms of influence, the Original Witch cannot compare to the City of Disaster. However, He has intelligence after all, and is not on the same level as the City of Disaster, which has only been activated for a short time. The Witch Cult He founded controls most of the High-Sequence Beyonder characteristics in its own hands. The believers of the City of Disaster cannot be promoted, and can only be eroded by the City of Disaster one by one."

"You've been talking about the City of Disaster, but I was able to enter the barrier here with the help of the Earth Mother's token. Do you know what's going on?"

When Adele saw that Geglan had finished speaking, she quickly took the opportunity to ask.

"When the original creator awoke, he tore a portion of the source material into this world, including the City of Disaster, and of course the 'mother nest' corresponding to the two paths of 'earth' and 'moon'."

Gagran's tone became serious. "And the place you just came to is where the 'Mother Nest' was torn off. The 'Mother Nest' on Earth and the 'Mother Nest' in the starry sky are currently fighting for dominance, and His body has become a battlefield. Letting you come here is also to expose the observatory."

"This observatory was originally covered by those flowing colors, forming what you thought was a dead volcano. When you, carrying his token, reach the center of the ruins, this place will be exposed, forming a temporary connection."

"Is this...surely something I can listen to?"

Adele was too weak to express her surprise, so she simply sat down on the water. Since it just looked like water, she didn't get wet.

"Of course not. If you were not here, you would either be dead or have become a monster contaminated by the Outer Gods."

Gegran shrugged. "The world is so big, why was the mother nest torn here? The problem lies in this observatory. When people at that time saw the starry sky, the starry sky also saw them. When the source material was torn off, the mother nest fell here based on this connection."

"In the Fourth Epoch, the angels of the church who were chasing the remnants of the God of Death and the angels of the Witch Family at that time intercepted them near this sea area. The tragic battle between the gods spread from the sky to the sea, and then from the sea to the abyss. At least four angels fell in this sea area."

"The Sun Path Angel 'Light Chaser' who created the purifying light;"

"The Black Emperor's Path Angel 'Duke of Entropy' that causes space distortion and disorder;"

"The Judge who created the invisible wall, the Angel of Balance;"

With a solemn look on his face, Geglan walked under the huge ball of water that was sparkling with starlight.

"The remaining one is my target this time, the 'Disaster Witch'. Her remaining body has absorbed the pollution of the starry sky and contained the disaster within her body, forming this isolated observatory environment. Once I absorb her characteristics, this place should be destroyed, and you can return to the real world, on the other side of the high wall."

"...You want to, you want to attack the angel directly?" Adele opened her mouth but no words came out.

After reaching the level of Demigod or above, Extraordinary People cannot completely avoid the risk of losing control every time they are promoted. For this reason, they must wait until the potion is completely digested and the mental impact is basically eliminated before they can take a new potion to advance.

However, believers of the "City of Disaster" have no such worries at all. Even without digestion, they can be promoted smoothly. As long as the ritual is completed and the potions are complete, the theory of direct promotion to Sequence Zero may even exist. The price is that if they cannot continue to be promoted, they will not be able to escape the fate of death.

"Of course." Gagran nodded, his tone as normal as if he was just brushing off the dust on his clothes. "My sister won't give me another chance. She's probably thinking about how to destroy this island now."

"But, the ritual of the Witch of Disaster..." Adele was a little confused.

"We have already completed it." Gagran replied calmly. "And not only the ritual of the Witch of Disaster, but also the rituals of the Witch of Disaster and the Witch of Doom have been completed ahead of time between you and me."

"Could it be that the fire on the sea outside..."

After hearing what Gagran said, Adele suddenly understood.

"Yes, that was a disaster brought to the polluters, caused by your arrival, and I secretly expanded the impact. Now those poor people who were polluted can finally rest in peace."

Gagran nodded, and her breath gradually became strange, not like that of a living person. Adele's intuition told her that this was the effect of the ritual on her, which had been controlled by her before, but was now fully released.

"So, the end of the world is also the end of the polluters?" Adele asked quickly.

"No," Gagran smiled, "It's the end of everyone."

While Adele was shocked by the meaning of this sentence, Gagran's body gradually rose higher and flew towards the clear spring water.

"The Seven Lights' prediction is too optimistic. If the seal disappears at the same rate, then the end of the world is still more than a decade away. However, as they become more active, the seal will be destroyed faster and faster, giving us less and less time. We need more of the Old Ones."

“No amount of time is of any use if there is no new old day.”

Gegran smiled and said, "Chik betrayed the City of Disaster. He doesn't want to become the old one. If he is allowed to devour the True God of the Hunter Path, he can maintain his current state for a long time, and the sanctions of the City of Disaster will not be able to act on him."

“He is not afraid of the outer gods of the starry sky, because even if they come, the disasters will not disappear, but will become more frequent, and His power will become stronger.”

The beautiful face of Gagran gradually became old, and wrinkles covered her face. Britton's body had been separated from her and wrapped into a cocoon with silk thread.

"He can't be discovered by my sister yet. If I succeed in becoming an angel and still remain sane, I will take him out of here. If I fail, you must come back here and use my remains to become a new disaster witch."

As she spoke, Gegelan's body began to become hunched, her teeth gradually loosened, and her eyes became cloudy and dull. The water of the "Fountain of Youth" began to deform, and an umbilical cord-like water line stretched towards her body.

"But this is too..."

Adele felt her eyes become moist for the first time in a long time.

The Fool hopes that a new Old Day will emerge to resist the invasion of the foreign gods.

The activated parts of the "mother nest" hope to be liberated and further consolidate their control over the two paths to fight against the starry sky.

The revitalized "City of Disaster" hopes that its chosen one can replace Chike and eventually merge with itself to become the new Old Day.

Only their purpose is absolute. For this reason, whether it is Audrey arranging Adele to enter the Kingdom of Twilight, the God-Blessed One hiding the truth from Audrey, Catalina leading the witches into the underground, or Adele returning to the world before the end of the world, everything is just a means.

Even without Adele, someone would have entered the Twilight Kingdom and made a deal with the revitalized hive.

Even if there was no Gagran, someone would have taken over her position at that time and passed down the will of the City of Disaster from the Fourth Age to the present.

Whether it was the overseer Old Lynch, the Rand family, the craftsman Smith, Britton and Lorota. Even without them, some people would have escaped, some would have been killed, some would have killed others, and some would have saved others.

The dead and the living differ only in the eyes of those who know them. To God, they are all the same.

I don’t know who gave me life, and I don’t know why I died.

“Don’t cry, child. This is their plan and the choice of the three source holders. Even if I am unwilling to complete it or cannot complete it, they will find a way to solve it. Don’t cry over such a small matter.”

Gaglan's smile was still gentle, and the aging of her body seemed to have not left a trace in her heart. The umbilical cord of the Fountain of Youth pierced her abdomen, causing her body to suddenly stiffen.

The remains of the angel seeped into her body through the umbilical cord, making her outline gradually blurred in Adele's eyes, leaving only chaotic patterns and strange spots of light.

The surrounding starry sky and the deep pool beneath her feet were gradually collapsing as their properties as carriers disappeared, turning into fragments of the starry sky that fell downward. Colorful oil films floated on the dark fragments, splashing dark water around Adele.

As the water surface beneath Adele's feet completely collapsed and her body, along with the broken blocks of water that kept it flowing, fell toward an unknown place, she heard Gagran's sighing whisper.

"Because they don't care."
