My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 418 Dragon God: Sinos, I heard you've struck it rich?
Kalia was unaware of why this change had occurred within her.

Those powers that he would normally avoid, which came directly from the evil god himself, were now as docile as his own innate spells.

Similar yet different natures of power... something seems to have changed after stepping into this place where the River Styx converges.

Since absorbing the pure power from the half-body of the evil god, which had been purified by Roland and the Demon King, she once again felt the source of this power within her body.

Yes, she never fully absorbed that power.

They are simply hidden within their own innate magical formulas.

As a result, Kalia's power was no longer out of control, and even became more responsive to her. The speed at which her magic power accumulated also increased, and in the blink of an eye, she reached the peak of the sixth ring. She was only one more Star Ring Law ritual away from completing her ascension to the extraordinary realm.

As the person involved, Kalia was well aware that she had not fully digested that power.

They simply "safely entered" her body.

But now... no, the change happened much earlier.

When her consciousness and soul were in another state, she began to change.

Roland looked at Kalia, unable to grasp her words in such a short time.

But soon Kalia demonstrated for her.

Almost the instant Kalia unleashed her power, Roland's protective power was activated to its maximum under the intervention of the Great Source Will.

Even the Eternal Runestone within his body activated instantly.

Under the influence of the absolute idealism brought about by the Eternal Runestone, Roland realized what was happening before his eyes.

Kalia walked into her predetermined fate.

But I didn't go all the way in.

She once again became the chosen one of the Whisperers of Eternal Silence, the vessel and the body for their descent.

but……

She retains her own consciousness and thoughts, and can even rewrite the nature of that evil god's power.

Then, what appeared before Roland was an endless expanse of darkness and silence.

It felt as if I were back in the divine realm I had been in before.

But now, he doesn't sense any hostility.

……

……

Meanwhile, at the edge of the world, Dragon Island.

The magnificent Dragon God Temple was unusually quiet at this moment.

Because the head guard, who is somewhat talkative and likes to tell stories about his time in the human world, recently took leave to pick up his daughter.

Moreover, the Dragon God himself had closed the only eye that was visible, clearly having fallen into a deep sleep once again.

Apart from the guards of the Dragon God Temple, few dragons know the truth about Dragon Island.

Dragon Island is part of the Dragon God's body.

On the sleeping body of God live all His children.

Inside the Dragon God Temple is the location of His head.

This temple, enormous even for a dragon, was like a hat, covering the head of the Dragon God.

Unfortunately, His head was turned to the side, revealing only half of His face and one eye. The other half of His head and body were outside the world, forming a fortress for this world.

Because of the importance of the mission, He was awake most of the time and insisted that the guards in the temple chat with Him, as He did not want to be bored.

Therefore, even if the chief guards were initially taciturn, they would gradually become talkative under the influence of the Dragon God.

However, if someone is already a chatterbox... then the condition may worsen.

When the Dragon God is in hibernation, it is one of the few quiet times for the Dragon God Temple.

Generally speaking, the Dragon God will sleep for three to seven days at a time, and sometimes it may take one or two months.

Sinos was stuck in that one or two-month hibernation period, which is why it took him so long to go find his daughter.

However, today's situation seems a bit special.

"Rumble..."

A violent tremor reverberated throughout the entire Dragon God Temple.

Just as the other dragon-humanized guards were checking for any abnormalities, everyone saw the Dragon God open his eyes, which had just been closed for a short while.

Those golden vertical pupils revealed an undisguised surprise and shock.

Even without saying a word, the guards present could sense the feelings of the Dragon God.

After staring wide-eyed and remaining silent for a long while, the thunderous voice rang out.

[Connect me to Sinos; I have some questions for him.]

"Lord Dragon God, should we recall the Chief of the Guard?" asked the acting Chief of the Guard, Lieutenant Sinos.

【No need, you promised to take the vacation, so come back after you've finished it! Do you think I'm the kind of person who goes back on their word?!】

"...But sir, when you lost at cards last time, I was the one who paid for it for you. You said you would pay me back in a couple of days, but you still haven't."

【You're really deliberately bringing up the wrong thing, aren't you! Get out of here! Go find Xinos for me!】

[Also, your money will be directly added to your next month's salary!]

[Damn it! How old am I? Isn't it normal for my memory to be bad? Why do I still remember this now?]

"...But sir, I feel that if I don't tell you, I won't get my half-month's salary back. You know, I also have a family to support. Although the salary of a guard in the Dragon God Temple is good, the cost of raising a little dragon at home is also high now, isn't it?"

[Stop babbling! Get me Xinos!]

[Also, once the connection is established, all of you must wait outside the hall! This is not information you should know.]

"Yes." After a noisy exchange, the Dragon God's loyal guards brought over a giant piece of equipment for Him.

Even for a dragon, this is an extremely large piece of equipment.

But this is something the Dragon God often needs to use.

A giant communication device.

It can be connected worldwide, as long as your magical aura is registered on this machine.

Although the Dragon God can communicate and rarely sleeps, the vast majority of His power is used to maintain the boundaries of the world.

With the invasions of evil gods becoming more frequent and severe over the past few decades, He has needed to expend even more power.

Of course, this involves more of His energy.

He can still use trivial skills like teleportation magic.

However, the output cannot be controlled.

After nearly destroying a dragon school with a teleportation spell, the Dragon God decided to build himself a machine.

As it turns out, even if they can't do it themselves, just by providing design drafts, the dragons on Dragon Island can turn the gods' ideas into reality.

The only drawback is that the device, which was originally designed to fit perfectly on Ryūshin's eyelids and was similar to glasses, could only be made larger and larger due to technological and surgical limitations.

It has been transformed into a giant cube-shaped machine that requires four adult dragons to drag it to move.

The acting head guard skillfully entered Xinos's magic code and quickly connected to his superior's communication. Before Xinos's voice could be heard, the acting head guard followed orders and led his men out of the throne room where the Dragon God was located.

【Lord Dragon God! What do you want with me?】

"Xiao Xi, how was your holiday?"

[Um... there are occasional hiccups, you know. The continent is in chaos right now. Humans and demons look like they're about to go to war, and there's a bunch of cult lunatics causing trouble.]

"Oh, I see. Is Nash alright? Did he encounter any danger or get injured?"

【No, no, although I've been hit by a strange shapeshifting spell and can't transform back into my dragon form, I can switch between cat and human forms... Dragon God, you should have a way, right?】

"Heh, that's interesting. It seems those demons are quite skilled. Not only did they successfully connect to Dragon Island using the ritual array left behind by that demon king, they can also cast a curse of this level."

"But in the end, it's just the methods of mortals. Leave it to me."

【Lord Dragon God, you contacted me just to ask about my recent situation?】

"That's one thing. I naturally have to take care of my chief guard. But there are a few other things."

"Have you... seen any unusual humans?"

【…】

"Silence? It seems so. Alright, let's skip that question."

"Second question, have you encountered any followers of evil gods? Not long ago, I sensed a severe rupture in the boundary and was about to enter a deep sleep to focus on repairing the cracks in the world, but the cracks closed up very quickly. Was that your doing?"

I was involved.

"Heh, I see. That special human was involved too, wasn't he?"

【Yes. 】

"Alright, one last question... Has anything unusual happened on the continent recently?"

"For example, the descent of an evil god?"

[My lord, I would have contacted you long ago if the evil god had truly descended, but there are indeed gazes from an extraterrestrial enemy cast from within the rift.]

"strangeness……"

"Has something happened, sir?"

"Xiao Xi, do you remember what we talked about when we were chatting casually?"

"Regarding the four great enemies and the skins they chose."

[I remember. Each of the four evil gods used their power to create a physical form perfectly suited to the characteristics of their own power, and gently reintegrated it into the cycle of this world.]

"That's right, but without the guidance and subtle actions of believers, those physical bodies would most likely live out their short lives as ordinary people in peace and quiet."

"Evil gods cannot directly affect the details of this world by overcoming the barrier created by the three pillar gods."

"Therefore, it is sufficient to prevent those believers from finding special individuals."

"Dayuan's response to this was to create witches, a special subspecies of humans."

"From the moment they are born, they possess a portion of the laws controlled by the gods."

"This response was very successful."

"At least, apart from the one three hundred years ago, none of the enemy's plans have ever succeeded."

"And the successful one was also due to the timely response of humans, which nipped that body in the bud before it was fully developed."

"But just now, I sensed a second successful case... The great enemy unleashed its power, penetrating straight into that skin."

【What?!】Sinos exclaimed instinctively.

"Don't be nervous, Xiaoxi. Let me speak."

"After the great enemy unleashed its power, just as it was about to control the physical body, that body, relying on its own will and... well, that's not something you should know."

"In short, that body seems to have escaped the influence of the enemy's will and has instead gained a blessing for free."

"Its very existence even attracted the attention of the Great Source Will, which strengthened its control over the Whisperers of Eternal Silence based on the characteristics of their power."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be very difficult for the next person's power to enter this world through exploiting loopholes."

"But that's not the most crucial point."

"If that body prepared by the great enemy truly breaks free of control... then it will become a force to be reckoned with."

"Only a force equal to the great enemy can fight against them."
