Millennium Witch.

Chapter 84 - Changing Families
"The God of Machines? What is that? Is it from the New World?" Contrary to Yvette's expectations, Abella's reaction was somewhat bewildered, as if she really didn't know about the existence of the God of Machines.

"Do you know about the Machine Race?" Yvette asked again.

"The Machine Race? Oh, those junkies." This time Abella understood. She blinked her beautiful eyes and said uncertainly, "Uh... this 'God of Machines' you're talking about, is it the god of those puppets?"

Yvette nodded slightly.

“Well, I really don’t know much about them.” Abella looked at her innocently. “Commander Purple’s instructions to me were to avoid conflicts with those puppets as much as possible… After all, they don’t provide any nutrients, so even if we win, we won’t gain anything, which is a huge loss! That’s all. As for that ‘God of Machines,’ I’ve never heard of it before.”

This is the first time I've heard of this?
Yvette frowned slightly. According to her guess, the mutants and the machine race should be old acquaintances. After all, they had lived in the same world for a long time. How could they know so little about each other?

But then she thought again. Abella's previous faction was the King of the Heavenly Sea, the monarch of the Northern Sea. The mechanical race, on the other hand, had long been active on land, so there was really little opportunity for the two sides to come into contact.

Especially since Abella herself only recently became a lord, previously only at stage four, it's unrealistic to expect her to know anything too advanced. All those questions she just asked have almost drained her dry…

Dugrabi asked in confusion, "Can't your 'Mother Nest' turn those alchemical creations into Unholy Demons? I clearly remember there being such Unholy Demons."

"Those semi-mechanical divine offspring were all transformed by the goddess herself on the day of the end a long time ago... There should be some Mother Nests that can do that, but the Pale Mother Nest of the Purple Commander definitely doesn't have that ability."

Abella glanced at it, thinking, "Why are you asking again? This last question isn't for you. Are you the commander?" But being under someone else's roof, she could only suppress her complaints and decided to work hard to win the new commander's favor later, and then teach this stinky black dragon a lesson: "...I once captured a magical mech that broke into Kux, but the commander didn't take it in on his own."

Yvette immediately thought of the mission report she had seen in the air-raid shelter's data room. The author was a Divine Grace named "Corbert Ironblade," who had a combat partner named "Thunder Wolf," who was probably the one Abella had captured.

"What happened to that magical mech soldier later?" Yvette asked.

“It… I don’t know.” Abella’s tone was tinged with doubt. “The commander seemed interested in it and took it away. I haven’t seen it since, and I don’t know what the commander did with it…”

Yvette pondered for a moment.

They took it with them?
Is this just out of simple interest, or is there a special reason?

Given the power struggles within the Aberration faction, could it be that the Pale Mother Nest lacks the ability to nurture cyborg Aberrations, and the Purple Commander is using it as a bargaining chip to trade with other Aberration factions?

Of course, there are many other possibilities. For example, the Purple Commander might have coveted the magical mech's combat power and wanted to directly replace its original owner, becoming the new pilot of the Thunder Wolf; or the Purple Commander might be a magical mech enthusiast who wanted to dismantle the mech for research; or it might be that it was worried about angering the Machine Race, so it secretly spared the Thunder Wolf's life...

Her mind raced for a while, feeling there were too many possibilities, so she stopped thinking about it.

But one thing is certain: the relationship between the Machine Race and the Aberrations is very delicate, which makes her curious. She wonders what the relationship is between the God of Machines and the Witch of the End.
Allies? Enemies? Unilateral domination? Or absolute neutrality and non-interference?

When the day of the end arrives, will the machine race also join in, carrying out an invasion and destruction of the new world?

……

As promised, it was supposed to be the last question, but they ended up asking quite a few. Just as Abella was getting a bit thirsty, she finally heard Yvette say, "Alright... you can go now."

"Leave?" Abella was stunned. Her first reaction wasn't joy, but bewilderment. She said, "Me?"

“Well, you’re free now, shouldn’t you be leaving?” Yvette said. Although the conversation had just revealed that Dugrabi was a black dragon from another world, it didn’t really matter. After all, the End of the World was approaching, so who cared if a dragon came running from the other side? As long as her persona as the aberrant leader didn’t collapse, it was fine.

Abella was still a little confused. She felt that although she had lost her power, compared with other mutants, she was still quite valuable, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she had great potential! Moreover, she was beautiful and very pleasing to the eye.

Why did he want me to leave? Was he testing her?

Surely it can't be that he looks down on her?
“Can you take me in? I, I am willing to pledge my allegiance to you, Lady Loshivia!” Abella said hastily.

"Your teacher spared your life, and you're still trying to take advantage of me?" Dugrabi clicked his tongue.

"You want to pledge allegiance to me?" Yvette found it somewhat interesting, but unfortunately, she didn't have a mother nest, so how could she control her subordinates?

“Yes, Lady Loshivia, I feel that my future will be much brighter under you than under Commander Purple!” Abella nodded hurriedly, then said pitifully, “And you helped me break control of the Mother Nest, which means I am now yours… I can’t go back to Cooks anymore…”

The broodstock's control method is actually to inject a small amount of its own aberration factor into the aberration during the aberration evolution process, thus controlling the aberration like installing a controller.

When Yvette was consuming the aberration factors inside Abella's body, the aberration factors that the Pale Mother Nest was controlling were naturally also consumed by her.

At this point, Abella will disappear directly from the Pale Mother's perception. If she is not dead, it means that she has switched sides and will no longer be regarded as a member of the Cooks Aberration faction. If she goes back to the Cooks, she probably won't even have a chance to meet the Purple Commander before being eaten by some small fry along the way.

After a pause, she confidently promoted herself, saying, "Although I no longer have all my abilities, my current stage should remain the same. With just a little time to replenish my nutrients, I will definitely become a great help to you!"

She thought, she had already gone this far, even if it was just a test, shouldn't Lady Loshivia accept her now?

It has unlimited potential, and at the very least, it can be recruited as a subordinate of a lord. Wouldn't it be foolish to miss out on this?

Yvette remained silent, gazing at her calmly, seemingly lost in thought.

But after a long time, he shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have a mother nest, so I can't take you in."

No mother nest?

Abella was stunned, thinking, "Is this even possible? Even the Purple Commander, who is subordinate to the King of the Sea, has his own Pale Mother Nest. How could there be a commander who doesn't have his own Mother Nest? Is it the monarch's requirement, or is he just trying to fool me?"

For a moment, she was filled with doubt, even suspecting that Lady Loshivia was deliberately joking with her, just wanting to see her nervous and scared.

This conjecture is not unfounded. After all, this person had been harassing her for many years while pretending to be weak, which proves that she is a vicious person at heart. Even if she wanted to take her in, she would have to torture her first until she was in enough pain and unease before she would finally speak.

If all you need to do is cooperate a little, and act with even more urgency, more pain, and more anxiety, wouldn't that be enough...?

Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved, thinking it wasn't as bad as she had imagined. But the next second, she saw the silver-haired girl leap lightly onto the black dragon's back.

Before the stunned Abella could react, the black dragon flapped its wings, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the rain in an instant.
