Otaku Witch

Chapter 693: 485. The Stolen Magic Network Core

"Who am I? Who else could I be, if not myself?"

Dorothy looked strangely at the Masked Senior Sister who seemed to have suddenly taken ill, then swiftly and adeptly pressed her back onto her own face.

After all, exposing her true face without the mask's interference would indeed be troublesome.

Speaking of which, the greatest benefit of senior Fanny's return was that Dorothy no longer needed to expend her Magic Power to suppress her own natural charm ability, provided by the Face of God. The Masked Senior Sister could effectively block everything for her.

"Senior Sister, what happened? Why such a big reaction all of a sudden?"

After fitting the mask back on, she whispered this quietly.

She was very curious.

Though senior Fanny, the Merry Maker, often acted wildly, as the Future Fourth King, it was not common for something to truly shock her, and the reaction just now was clearly one of fright.

Could it be Denisha?

Dorothy suspected so, as she thought that only the future God King Sister could scare senior Fanny.

"No, it's nothing, Dorothy, you needn't worry,"

The Masked Senior Sister hesitated as if wanting to say more but eventually chose to remain silent in response to her Master's probing question.

Although she didn't know what the Mother of the World and God King Teacher were up to, or why they chose Dorothy, it was clear they regarded it with considerable importance. Therefore, it was best she did nothing unnecessary, to avoid complications.

Senior Fanny understood dreams, so she was well aware that if Dorothy realized this Witch's Night was her own dream, it might trigger some bizarre chain reactions.

If this were truly just a dream, she might have disclosed everything for the fun of it, but now that the dream was overlapping with the past, even she dared not act recklessly.

Generally, influencing the past through dreams was nearly impossible, but when such impossibilities involved Dorothy...

"Ah, I'm already confused and can't understand anymore, so forget it, I give up."

Facing her Master, who possessed the aura of a Natural Saint, senior Fanny had no more to say and simply chose to let it be.

"Heh, I trust you not at all. Darn it, senior, it's bad luck to leave things half-said, I curse you to end up the joke of others!"

Watching the Masked Senior Sister suddenly play dead, the homebody witch was speechless and mentally flipped her the bird before turning her gaze back to Koreya and the Judgement Squad next to her.

In fact, senior Fanny wasn't the only one startled by Koreya's transformation; the Judgement Squad was utterly bewildered too.

Although they were merely new Judges, that didn't mean they didn't recognize the highest authority of the Judgment Court, the three Great Judges, especially the strongest among them, Grand Judge Pan.

Wow, so Grand Judge Pan was actually a figure from the Era of the God King? That Magic Armored Knight Order's chief, Lady Koreya, was actually Grand Judge Pan himself.

And this name Koreya... it belonged to the illustrious Black Sheep Sage, one of the oldest and most powerful Sages, and an ancestor of Lord Demon King...

Damn, though it was exciting to indulge in gossip, the members of the Judgement Squad felt more scared, as they might have inadvertently learned something they shouldn't have.

Knowing too much about certain things really wasn't good.

Damn, this gossip is poisoned.

The Judgement Squad shivered in fear, unable to speak for a moment.

They simply admired their immediate superior.

Although they had guessed that Lord Clown, this newly arrived Great Judge, must be a well-known bigwig from Witch World, they never imagined someone of such immense stature, looking at how Grand Judge Pan respectfully served as a secretary behind Lord Clown, this was astonishingly impressive.

Of course, they had also considered that maybe Lord Clown was just lucky to have arrived in someone important's body during this Witch's Night and thus could command such humility from Grand Judge Pan.

But then they put themselves in his shoes, thinking even if they were lucky enough to possess a high-ranking NPC and then faced a historical figure like Grand Judge Pan...

Damn, they were sure they wouldn't dare to act all high and mighty. Who could endure such homage from a sage? Truly accepting it would be asking for trouble due to fearing for one's life.

It wasn't because they respected their elders or bowed to authority, but because Witch World genuinely operated under a Heavenly System, and everyone's Destiny Pattern indeed had its distinctions of rank. If your Destiny Pattern wasn't strong enough, a single bow from a higher-ranking person could directly cause a backlash, shattering your Destiny Pattern.

Even though Grand Judge Pan hadn't yet received the future Sage Destiny Pattern, the Destiny Patterns conferred upon reaching the Witch Rank post-natally were only supplemental. Witches capable of achieving the Sage Destiny Pattern generally possessed innate Destiny Patterns of equal or higher status, hence they were extraordinary by birth.

The members of the Judgement Squad, although confident in their own abilities and not ruling out a future as Sages, recognized that pending the arrival of that future, they dared not test whether their own fates were truly tough enough.
