Chapter 991 The Fate You Bear

After Zoe bid farewell to His Majesty, she led the God's Punishment Witches back to the Third Border City.

After placing the high-level devil who was still breathing heavily, she was taken into a secret room deep underground by Elxia, where Pasha and Celine were also waiting.

Obviously, they have more things to care about than the captured devil.

"What do you think?" After closing the heavy stone door, El Xia couldn't wait to fall in front of her, "Can we win?"

"Didn't we already win?" Zoe spread her hands.

El Xia tapped her forehead with his tentacles angrily, "You know what I'm asking, so stop teasing me."

As the only remaining transcendent in Taquila, her relationship with the high-level witches is undoubtedly closer than others.

Although after the fall of the Federation, the surviving ancient witches began to follow the principle of "every witch is equally important", the past classes will still leave more or less influence.

"Since she is so relaxed, I think it should be a good answer." Pasha chuckled.

"Actually... I'm not sure." Seeing Pasha speak, Zoe became more serious. "The devil today is probably very different from the enemy four hundred years ago, not only in the use of magic power. , even the species has undergone new differentiation." Then she recounted the entire battle process in detail, "It can be said... Lady Akalis's idea is correct, but according to her plan, mankind will inevitably fail. "

Actual combat has proven that the God's Punishment Witch is indeed a powerful weapon to restrain high-level demons. Unfortunately, relying on this alone, it is difficult to compete with the enemy on the frontal battlefield - a powerful forbidden demon body does not mean that it will not be injured. In the new war, In front of the machine, the Divine Punishment Witch's biggest advantage will no longer exist. Once the frontal battlefield cannot be broken through, the Starfall Queen's plan will be meaningless.

After confirming this, Pasha seemed to be relieved, as if she had put down a heavy burden, "So, we did not choose the wrong follower - Lady Natalya's decision was correct. This is really great. ..."

"Yes, this is really great..." Celine also whispered, her voice even slightly choked with sobs. For a person who has lived for more than four hundred years, this is really an incredible thing.

But at this moment Zoe felt the same way.

When most of the leaders of the Federation supported Akalis, they resolutely stood beside the Queen of the Sun because of their different ideas. At the turbulent moment of the Witch Empire, they were completely torn apart by an unfair raid. formed the foundation of the federation.

Zoe would remember until her death that a comrade of the Holy Blessed Army who was seriously injured in her hands leaned into her arms and said in a breathless voice, "It's you who ruined everything."

Since then, a huge stone has weighed heavily on their hearts.

There is nothing to fear about death.

The terrible thing is to be burdened with the misunderstanding and rejection of your partners, and to look for slim hope in the darkness.

If they fail, it means killing the only possibility for the witches to continue. Such a sin cannot be offset by death.

It is with this obsession that everyone endures the unconscious and empty shell and persists.

Now that Akalis' plan has proven to be a wrong direction, they naturally feel a long-lost relief - even if the final outcome is still the total destruction of mankind, at least the fate of the survivors will not seem so sad.

"Even so, Lady Nataya is just tied with the Queen of Starfall," Elxia rubbed her nose that no longer existed, "We haven't won the final victory yet, and it would be too early to be happy now——"

"Don't worry, no one will see you even if you cry like this."

"Pasha!"

Zoe smiled and shook her head, "I haven't finished speaking yet... Although it is still unclear who can win the battle of divine will, I at least see hope."

With these words, the three high-level witches fell silent.

In four hundred years of groping in the dark, hope is the most desired thing - no one knows whether the Chosen One exists, but they must search for it. This aimless confusion lingers in their hearts all the time, and their lives The longer it lasts, the more intense the torture will be. At the beginning, everyone would often discuss the Chosen One's abilities, as well as her possible age and appearance, but when it came time to start searching for the Chosen One with the help of "black money", no one dared to talk about this topic easily.

Because they are afraid of making up an image and treating it as the goal of their search - if they find the right person, but find that they are not the chosen one, no one can bear the disappointment.

Because of this, hope has become a luxury product.

Now, however, they can say the word easily again.

Realizing this, the ancient witch couldn't help but fell into a silent feeling.

After a while, Pasha broke the silence and said, "So... can we complete Lady Natalya's entrustment?"

"Entrusted?" El Xia was stunned, "Wait a minute - we haven't found the real chosen one yet!"

"I have no objection," Zoe shrugged. "The ancient books of the underground civilization do not stipulate whether the holder of the key is male or female? After all, it is unknown whether they have the concept of gender."

Natalya once left a legacy. If the chosen one can be found, everyone should regard her as the leader, destroy the devil and revive Taqila. Although the Chosen One displayed by the five-colored magic stone was a little different from what they imagined, and the Divine Punishment Instrument could not be activated, the effect on dealing with devils was the same.

"I also... don't think there is a problem," Celine said last. "The ancient books also do not stipulate that there is only one chosen one. When a new chosen witch is discovered in the future, we can still change it."

"If you all agree... then okay." Elxa sighed helplessly.

"Whether there is a new chosen one is another matter. I think replacement can be saved." Zoe looked at Pasha and said, "The things you were worried about are now showing signs."

"Did those witches exclude you during the battle?"

"It's not that obvious," she told Carmilla again. "After hearing that I would be the interrogator, she agreed to the request to connect to the devil's mind. This also shows that she was worried about the witch being harmed. The idea does not include undead monsters like me.”

"..." The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little solemn. Pasha had mentioned this possibility a hundred years ago. Although they considered themselves witches, the new generation of witches did not necessarily think so. No matter in terms of appearance, characteristics or abilities, there is no similarity between the two. Let alone witches, they can hardly be regarded as human beings. Roland Wimbledon, who could accept them so quickly, was more like an outlier.

When the history of the Federation gradually fades from people's memory, the newly awakened may no longer regard them as members of the witches. Even more extreme, in order to explore the secrets of magic and the technology of underground civilization, the witches might use them as experimental subjects.

Although this idea is somewhat pessimistic, it is not impossible to scale it up to a scale of hundreds or even thousands of years.

Hearing Zoe's self-deprecation, Pasha sighed, "I see, but I won't regret it."

None of the three answered the call, because this was also the path they chose.

"If we can fulfill Sanxi's last wish, our mission will come to an end," she paused. "What the world will look like in the future is beyond our control... but at least now we can prepare for a rainy day and find solutions for ourselves. A way out."

"Did you live in seclusion in the mountains, disappear, or find a place to bury yourself?" Elshe said displeased.

"Of course not," Pasha replied, shaking her beard, "We can become an indispensable force in the human kingdom."
