Becoming a god by raising witches

This also includes Nate, who only has half a body left.

The surrounding tables, chairs, and benches had all been destroyed. Renis, dressed in a purple trench coat uniform, stood in the ruins. A silver pocket watch hung from her wrist, and she wore a monocle over her left eye. Her long black hair seemed to blend into her shadow on the ground.

This time, it wasn't Renis's clone that entered the coffee shop, but her true form.

"Give Nate back to me!"

Krista roared at Renis.

Renis reached out her hand, and Nate, who was hanging upside down from the ceiling, was instantly torn to pieces by the shadow, dripping onto the ground.

With a cold expression, she took out a document and read aloud.

"Galken Hossemar Durand was born in 1424 in the village of Holmer in Yorkshire. His dream was to open a coffee shop named after himself."

"He joined the army at the age of 18, with enlistment number 14421187. He was from the same hometown as Nate Martino and was also a childhood friend. They participated in the Kingdom War together. Nate Martino died in the war, but Galken Hosimar Durand survived."

"After the war, he returned to his hometown with Nate Martino's body, intending to bury him. However, the entire village of Holmer was caught up in the witch's resurrection incident and was razed to the ground by the authorities. All the infected residents were hanged. In the ruins of Holmer village, he found the strange object left by the witch, the B03 Time-Teasing Music Box. In the end, he chose to commit suicide in extreme grief."

"After death, her soul entered the strange object B03 and became Christa, Nate Martino's fiancée. She and Nate Martino began a life that kept repeating itself and constantly absorbed outsiders to replenish the souls needed by the coffee shop and the population of this world."

"The B03 monster likes to play with time and with those who come into contact with it. It twisted your feelings for Nate Martino, turning you into Christa and immersing you in a false love."

As Renis finished reading the document.

The coffee shop gradually transformed into the shape of a giant music box, the fireplace became an automatically playing piano, the walls of the coffee shop peeled and collapsed, turning into an open environment, and the surrounding hills and towns disappeared, as if one were in a chaotic mist.

Elegant music played softly from the piano, and the shadowy figures of people appeared on the ground, seemingly attending a ball, but the shadows quickly disappeared.

Krista's appearance gradually transformed into that of Galken, a boy in military uniform with a desperate expression.

"Why are you treating us like this? We were heroes who fought for the kingdom in the war, so why did we have no home when the war ended and we went home?"

The boy covered his face, and those sealed-away painful memories instantly resurfaced, tears streaming down his face.

“Nate died saving me. Krista was the person I loved. I want them to be happy together forever. I want to make it up to Nate. I promised to attend Nate’s wedding.”

“Galken Hossimar Duran, you are now under arrest for endangering human safety.”

Renis's face was devoid of any emotion, as if she were a judge who was born without feelings.

The boy raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, his features contorted with rage.

"Why are you forcing me? Why are you forcing me? All I want is to live a happy life with Nate and Christa. I've been hiding in the music box and haven't done anything. What did we do wrong that you keep destroying our happiness?!"

As the boy's emotions changed, the music played on the piano became more urgent, like the most intense chorus in the Symphony No. 5.

Locke and the demon Renis felt dizzy and lightheaded, and Locke even had streaks of blood appearing on his body.

"Damn it, the music box is trying to strangle us."

The demon Rhaenys transformed into a cloud of smoke, enveloping Locke's body.

She certainly didn't want to protect Locke; she wanted to hitch a ride with him to the Mirror World for refuge.

Locke jumped into the monocle in Rhaenys' left eye without hesitation.

The meaning of mirrors is very broad. In addition to glass mirrors, lenses that can reflect human faces also have the properties of mirrors.

That's why Locke was able to hide inside.

The people hanging from the ceiling also began to struggle in pain, and bloodstains appeared on their bodies as well.

The pain jolted Sieg awake. He used the power of the ring to dodge the invisible sonic attack, broke free from the shadow's restraints, and jumped down from the ceiling.

"Director."

Although he managed to dodge some of the attacks, Sieg's eyes and ears had begun to bleed.

Renis nodded slightly and handed him a silver talisman. "Stay away."

Sieg chanted a spell to activate the talisman, and a completely sealed silver armor enveloped him.

His bleeding stopped, and he trudged away with heavy steps, trying to get as far away from Renis as possible.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he pulled his uncle, Joris Haynes, and Andy Hagen, the Duke of Hagen's daughter, down from the ceiling and ran to Chief Reines' side.

"We might need two more amulets."

Without hesitation, Renis handed him two thin silver talismans.

He activated the spell, and Andy Hagen's body was encased in a silver coffin, while Joris Haines was wrapped in bandages, like a newly made mummy.

Sieg picked up the coffin and the mummy and ran outside.

The emotionally distraught teenager Galken looked at Sieg, who, along with the silver coffin and the mummy, were frozen in place.

Renis took out the pocket watch, the Heart of Dreams, and forcibly dragged Galken into the dream.

But in no time, Galken broke free of the dream, and slippery tentacles extended from his body, transforming him into an octopus-like monster.

He devoured everyone on the ceiling into his body, their twisted heads embedded in his mutated form, their faces contorted in agony, mouths agape.

"Why do you have to disturb our happy life? Why do you have to disturb our happy life? Why do you have to disturb our happy life?"

At this moment, Galken had transformed into a terrifying giant monster, and the same sounds emanating from different mouths, combined with the music of the concert, became ear-piercing demonic sounds.

"Shut up!"

Renis raised her hand, and the monster's shadow instantly rose from the ground, like a black cloth, enveloping the monster.

The shadow's body continued to shrink, and the monster let out a painful scream.

A moment later, only a dark shadow remained.

However, the story does not end there.

The music box continued to play, and time rewound back to before Rhaenys took action.

All the people on the ceiling were devoured by Galken, their twisted heads embedded in his body, turning him into a terrifying monster.

"Why do you have to disturb our happy life? Why do you have to disturb our happy life? Why do you have to disturb our happy life?"

He let out a shout, while extending countless tentacles downwards, trying to peel his shadow away.

Renis narrowed her eyes and, before he could completely detach from the shadow, used the power of the shadow again to envelop the enormous monster.

The shadow then continued to shrink, and the monster disappeared again.

Time continues to rewind.

During this process, Renis's power is gradually fading away.

After repeating this three times, Renis was clearly feeling tired.

"Locke, tell me what you found here?"

In the mirror world, Locke had been shielding his hearing to avoid the piercing sound, and only responded when he noticed the chief calling him.

"Chief, the heart of the coffee shop is the fireplace. The fireplace used to be where the piano was. If we break the piano, we can most likely destroy the strange object."

Although Renis hated hearing words like "probably," "maybe," and "possibly," Rockbemon's performance was clearly much better than Sieg's.

At least he wasn't controlled and he even had some leads.

Renis nodded.

"If you don't want to die, jump out of the glasses right now. That's a weird thing too."

Locke paused for a moment, then immediately took Rebecca and jumped out of the mirrored world created by the glasses. At the same time, he realized that he seemed to be being watched by someone, which felt very bad, but he could only wait until he left and went back to check.

The demon Rebecca did not feel this way.

Rene took out the pipe, and Rebecca crawled inside.

Locke then stood behind Renis.

Renis removed her monocle, revealing an eye that locked onto the monster with countless tentacles.

The monster's body was immediately covered with countless eyes, which altered its vision, distorted its gaze, and threw it into confusion. The monster began to attack itself, its body twisting and contorting.

Renis took this opportunity to walk over to the piano.

Her hand touched the piano, and the black and white keys turned into a viscous liquid that crawled up her fingers, trying to devour Renis.

A murderous glint appeared in Renis Amber's eyes. Her shadow transformed into a giant hand, slamming down and flattening the piano.

The piano was severely damaged, and it vomited everyone out.

Locke, Sieg, Renis, Andy Hagen, Joris Haynes, and the monster controlled by numerous eyes, along with the tiny music box, all appeared in the real world.

Renis used the C13 Dream Heart again to drag all of this into the dream world to avoid causing panic among the citizens of Kosork.

Rhaenys reduced Galken to his original form, but those he had absorbed could no longer be restored; their souls had been completely absorbed into the music box.

Galken finally split his body in two, one half becoming Krista and the other half becoming Nate. The two held hands tightly, lay together, and closed their eyes.

Rhaenys picked up the music box from the ground, turned around and looked at Locke and Sieg.

“Go back and write a report. Hmm, Locke barely made a contribution. Sieg, write a self-criticism.”

"Review?"

Sieg pointed to himself, looking innocently at the director, "But I saved Andy Hagen, so I guess I've completed a mission."

"No, you can't even save yourself. Without a 5000-word self-criticism, you'll get a month's salary."

Renis said in an unquestionable tone.
