You think you're worthy of saving the world?

"Um……?"

Feeling that the sheathing motion wasn't stylish enough, he practiced sheathing and drawing the sword for another five minutes before finally ending his practice session satisfied.

"call……"

Yuri let out a long breath and shook his two arms, which were throbbing with muscle pain.

As a reward for a hard day's work, how about I go to "Crimson Witch's" place again tonight and make up some excuse to give those big white balls a good rub...?

With some time to spare before dinner, Yuri went to the bookshelf area in the room to see what the witches usually read.

"Pet Care Guide", "Easy Recipes for Living Alone", "How to Tie a Bow Tie in Three Minutes", "How to Tell if Food Has Spoiled?"...

The more Yuri read, the more worried she became about the witches' ability to take care of themselves.

Just then, the Child of Prophecy noticed a book with an incongruous title—

True Witch Reincarnation: A Study of the Ecology and Powers of Witches

Upon seeing the book title, Yuri inexplicably tensed up.

He quickly took the book from the bookshelf.

Turning to the title page: This is a forbidden book from the church in the future, written through prophetic magic.

Written around the year 11800 of the Holy Calendar, which is 200 years earlier than the time of Yuri and Rosalia.

The book describes a hypothesis about the ecology of witches.

Why are all witches born without their own parents?

Why must witches rely on other witches for upbringing when they are young, or parasitize human families like cuckoos?

How can a witch, who has neither males nor the ability to reproduce like an elf, possibly give birth to a pure-blooded next generation of witches?

The fundamental question is, where do these new witches come from?

Regarding these questions, the book offers the following speculation:

The witch's daughter (inheritor) is herself.

068 Yu Shen breaks through the underlying code again!

The book "True Witch Reincarnation ~A Study on the Ecology and Powers of Witches~" describes the ecology of witches as follows.

Witches do not need to reproduce, because they are all manifestations of the power of chaos.

Even if she attempts to mate with other races, the offspring of a witch will only be impure and cursed individuals.

Witches cannot give birth to pure-blooded witch offspring because their successors are themselves, born after their deaths.

This is what is known as "reincarnation magic".

As long as the laws of chaos remain, even if a witch's body is destroyed, her spirit dissipates, and her soul fades, the next generation of witches will be born on the surface of the earth several years later.

The second-generation witch cannot inherit the knowledge, memories, genes, or personality of the previous generation; the only thing they have in common is the power of the previous generation.

From a human perspective, the second-generation witch can be described as a "completely new individual," the daughter of the previous generation.

However, from a magical perspective, the second generation of witches can be seen as a continuation of the previous generation, because the essence of witches is their power itself.

There are currently no witches who are reincarnated with their memories intact, so it can be concluded that witches cannot maintain the personality of the previous generation through reincarnation.

However, there are some very special individual cases.

It is said that a witch once saw scenes from the past in her dream from a third-person perspective.

However, when the witch woke up and went to investigate, she discovered that what she saw in her dream was very different from the real history.

Is this just a simple dream, or some kind of magical phenomenon?

These all require further investigation.

"........."

Yuri stood there and silently read the entire book.

Although he initially intended to kill time, he became increasingly engrossed in the reading, and even developed a sense of excitement towards the end.

If the speculations made in this book, "The True Witch Reincarnation," are true, then it would explain where witches actually come from.

Their way of being is essentially that of "gods"!

The demigods and near-gods still existing on the continent of Diamat are actually beings that received the outflows of the Triune Goddess.

They attained a state of "divinity".

Take Celestia, the "Eternal Queen," as an example. The divinity she attained was "eternal beauty," so she became the very concept of "beauty."

Witches, like demigods, are manifestations of a certain concept.

However, the witch's power does not flow from the goddess, but from chaos.

Since the laws of chaos are not believed by all things in the world, witches cannot achieve immortality like demigods; they only have short and fragile lives.

But they exist eternally in another form.

Even after death, one can be reborn through power.

Unfortunately, since they could not retain their personality, memories, and genes, they could not be called reincarnations or the same individual; they could only be considered mother and daughter.

According to Yuri’s limited philosophical understanding, he believed that the definition of “human being” should be “memory” and “personality”, which is the so-called “spirit”.

Considering that this is a fantasy world where souls actually exist, we can add an even more important element: "soul".

It seems that witches do not possess the two elements mentioned above after reincarnation.

They even changed the third element, "physical body," but the only thing that remained unchanged was "strength."

Yuri quickly noticed another point: the "witch's dream" mentioned at the end of the book.

Isn't the so-called witch's dream exactly the same as his current situation?

An anomaly that deviates significantly from the normal historical trajectory!

To people in the real world, it appears as a dream, distinct from actual history!

Based on this, Yuri made a bold conjecture:

In some extremely special circumstances,

For example, on special nights such as full moon nights or high tide nights, the witches' dreams may be connected to fragments of singularities.

Given this, is there any way to allow a specific witch to obtain a specific, complete record of a singularity?

For example... "Crimson Witch" and "Vicious Witch".

Let their reincarnated individuals, born 2000 years later, gain the memories of this era...

The red-haired girl's words echoed in the ears of the prophesied child.

Yuri had promised her that he would take her to a world a thousand years in the future.

The image of the Queen of Graycastle appeared before the Child of Prophecy's eyes.

She valued Yuri even more than her own lofty ideals.

"........."

In the long silence, a ray of the setting sun shone into the room.

...It's time to go back, Yuri thought.

He turned around and found a young girl with bright red hair and exquisite beauty, dressed in luxurious Western clothes, standing against the wall.

Yuri was somewhat embarrassed: "Wicked Lord, what brings you here?"

Standing next to the "wicked witch" was the room guard, who was trembling with his head down.

She tried to remind Yuri, but the boy was so engrossed in his thoughts that he was completely unaware that a guest had arrived.

The "wicked witch" crossed her arms, her brows furrowed, her face tense and unhappy.

Seeing her like this, Yuri suddenly felt a little nervous, and his usual glib tongue faltered.

"Pfft... Hahahaha! Ahahahaha!"

Seeing the black-haired boy's rare moment of embarrassment, the "wicked witch" suddenly bent over and burst into laughter.

"Idiot! Look how nervous you are! Are you about to wet your pants? Is my face that scary? Small fry? Small fry? Hahahahahaha!"

Yuri: "..."

The red-haired girl laughed and explained, "People heard that you didn't bring your family with you to work today, so they were a little worried..."

"Worried?" the boy asked curiously.

"I was worried you might get attacked by those bitches, so I came to pick you up from get off work... What, is that not okay? I should have just left you alone!"

"I see, thank you, Witch." Yuri said happily.

The "wicked witch" turned around stiffly for some reason: "Let's go... let's go!"

Yuri quickly followed.

"What were you thinking? Running around Gray Castle without any family members with you."

As she walked, the "wicked witch" complained, "If you get taken away by some witch, it'll be a hassle for me to bail you out, and you'll just cause trouble for others."

Yuri chuckled and scratched the back of his head: "Haha, sorry, sorry... I'll be more careful next time."

The red-haired girl snorted: "I know, that Crimson guy shared his power with you, so you've gotten a little carried away... You're clearly just a piece of trash!"

"Oh dear, you found out?"

Don't treat me like a fool!

After all, having obtained 50% of the full power of Crimson, even if one tries their best to hide it, some of it will inevitably leak out, Yuri thought.

The "wicked witch" looked displeased and said in a low voice, "Anyway, I just can't share my power with my followers!"

"Speaking of which, what are the powers of the wicked lord?"

"Is it a curse?"

The "wicked witch" revealed an evil yet alluring smile: "Hmph, if you dare to betray me, I will make your soul suffer forever, even if you escape back 2000 years in the future... Alas!"

Yuri held her soft, delicate hand tightly.
