Becoming a god by raising witches

After all, it's quite ridiculous for someone so young to have lost all their teeth; it might become the biggest joke in the Bureau of Investigation.

"You're welcome, Locke. What exactly did you do?"

"I explored the vast ocean of the subconscious."

Locke smiled wryly.

"Your cat isn't an ordinary cat, is it? It's even harder to heal than you. With such severe injuries, an ordinary cat would have died long ago."

Sister Lux looked at the black cat on the ground, puzzled.

The black cat got up and jumped onto Locke's shoulder.

Locke nodded.

"She is a witch's cat, not an ordinary cat."

"Miss Witch? Oh, Locke, witches are the mortal enemies of the church. The goddess wouldn't want to hear you say that. Please don't get involved with witches."

Lux said.

Hmm, the witch entered the church without the goddess's knowledge. The goddess is probably still sleeping right now, isn't she?

Locke muttered to himself.

He suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Even the Infinite Serpent, which was just beginning to possess divinity and was still hiding in its subconscious world, had such great power with just a glance, almost costing him and Eileen their lives. So how could the Goddess of Life not have realized that Eileen was a witch? Why did the Tree of Life not react at all, and why did the church not directly expel Eileen?

Is the Goddess of Life in a state that is not as good as the Infinite Serpent within her?

Impossible, how could this be?

Locke shook his head, feeling that his idea was too far-fetched.

Eileen and he still had a lot of information to exchange, so they should hurry home and summarize the clues they had gathered from this dream exploration.

With this in mind, Locke stood up and solemnly thanked Lux.

"Lux, if you need my help next time, just come to me anytime. You are a trustworthy friend."

"Thank you, Locke. If you need any help, feel free to contact me anytime. Um, just be careful not to associate with witches."

Lux offered a kind reminder, a gentle smile on her face.

Locke, along with Eileen and Rebecca, bid farewell to Lux.

It's a pity Lux isn't a witch, otherwise raising this healer's affection level to 100 and recruiting her would be a good thing.

After returning to his lodgings by carriage, Locke closed the door.

Rebecca sat down beside them, looking at them curiously.

"What exactly did you do?"

"It was just an exploration of a dream world, and monsters live in my dream world."

Locke said to Rebecca, "Rebecca, I'm hungry. Go and make us something to eat."

"Damn it, fine, just you wait."

The haughty Rebecca kicked the door and stormed off.

When Alice is not home, she always lacks a sense of crisis and her attitude towards her master is sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Locke closed the door again and said to Eileen,

"That photo speaks volumes; it told me a lot of information, which I've summarized into seven main points."

"First, Joan Mancini said that Hannah did not need to be saved; she would become the savior of the world, and she was the most successful experimental subject of the Church of Knowledge."

"Secondly, each of the nine test subjects has a manager. Joan Mancini is my manager, and Bud Bemon is Hannah's manager. The managers are responsible for monitoring the test subjects' conditions and reporting to the Church of Knowledge regularly."

"Third, the Knowledge Church has six archbishops and 24 knights at its top, which is also known as the core of the Knowledge Sect. Apart from the nine administrator test subjects, the other 24 knights each possess extraordinary and strange objects. These strange objects are all numbered starting with S."

"Fourth, Winfield Scott of the Kossock Government Hall, who is a member of the Intellectual Cult."

"Fifth, war can indeed awaken Hannah, who represents an evil god whose authority is malicious."

"Sixth, apart from me, none of the other test subjects were born from a mother, but Joan Mancini said we were true relatives, all descended from a great father."

"Seventh, the test subjects can devour each other to gain growth and power."

Eileen glanced at Locke and found that his thinking was quite clear; he had actually memorized all the information and even organized it.

After hearing Locke's clues, Eileen said with a serious expression,

"The Knowledge Cult may not be creating evil gods; what they want to create are righteous gods. Life and death, light and darkness, fortune and misfortune, good and evil correspond to the Goddess of Life, the God of Death, the God of Light, the God of Night, the God of Fate, the God of Misfortune, the God of Love, and the God of Extreme Evil. You are the last one, infinite, corresponding to the abyss and reincarnation."

"Creating true gods?!"

Locke's eyes were filled with astonishment; this was even more shocking than hearing about the evil god's plan.

"Yes, perhaps in the War of the Gods in the Western Continent, it wasn't just the gods of the Chaotic Era who perished; the gods of the Southern, Northern, and Eastern Continents also fell. It's just that the Church concealed this information and secretly supported its own power, which is why no gods descended to earth again. This is also the basis for the Knowledge Sect's ability to create gods. If the true gods existed and they were still doing this, they would probably have been eliminated by a united force long ago."

Eileen analyzed the situation.

This coincides with Locke's earlier thought that the Goddess of Life was extremely weak.

Only in this way can we explain why the goddess did not banish the witch Irene.

"Furthermore, Hannah is not their most successful experimental subject; you are. Through the exploration of the dream world, it can be seen that the Infinity Serpent within you has already begun to possess divinity."

"Furthermore, perhaps Joan Mancini is mistaken. The test subjects cannot devour each other. Only you can devour the other eight, because you represent infinity. When infinity grows, it becomes the enemy of the gods."

"The enemy of the gods...?"

Chapter 158, The Watcher

The astonishment at hearing about the enemies of the gods was no less than the astonishment at hearing about the Knowledge Cult's plan to create a true god.

Locke, who had encountered strange events, thought he had figured out the truth about this world, but now he finds that he knows nothing about it, and his worldview is once again challenged.

Previously, only Hannah needed saving, but now I need to save myself as well.

Or rather, his situation was even more serious than Hannah's.

I wonder if the system can fight off the Infinite Serpent within me.

Is there a solution?

Locke asked Eileen.

"Unless a deity is born on earth before you or Hannah awakens, and through the power and status of that deity, the Infinite Serpent within you is removed."

Eileen said with a serious expression.

The conditions for achieving this result are extremely demanding. First, a new god must be born in the true sense. Second, this new god must be willing to help him. Finally, he and Hannah must not have awakened to the point of losing control before this.

Even someone like Locke, who was only recently introduced to the mystical, knew that this was an S-level difficulty.

"Is there any other way?"

"This is the only method I can think of. Perhaps the six leaders of the Knowledge Sect will know something, after all, they were involved in the project to create experimental subjects. The Pope of the Life Sect may be able to think of other methods, provided that you can meet him and persuade him."

"Okay, they are all very difficult, but I will try my best."

"Did you know that the Feast of Life selects the Maiden of Life and the Boy of Life? If you are chosen as the Boy of Life, you will have the opportunity to meet the Pope."

Erin said.

"Doesn't that require the applicant to be under 18 years old?"

Moreover, he is still a virgin, meaning he has never had sexual intercourse with a woman.

"Are you already 18 years old?"

Eileen looked at Locke and asked.

"This seems to require a lot of money, just like electing a member of parliament, and also requires participating in speeches like the environmental activists. Public speaking is not my forte, and I feel that public speaking is a foolish thing. Faith also needs to be very pure."

Locke instantly thought of a bunch of obstacles, and under Eileen's suspicious gaze, he nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll give it a try, but it also depends on luck."

"You've always been lucky."

Eileen encouraged her.

"It's probably because I'm kind enough."

Locke shrugged.

"There's another question. Since you and Hannah are both experimental subjects, and your supervisors have both disappeared—at least three years, judging by the time they've been missing—you've been without supervision for three years. Why hasn't anyone come to take over? Or has someone been secretly monitoring your every move?"

"Eileen asked."

Locke frowned slightly and began to think carefully.

The most plausible explanation is that someone is secretly monitoring us. Who could it be? Winfield Scott of the Government House?

It seems that there was indeed an official named Winfield Scott during the meeting to discuss the Queen's West End comfort route, but he kept a low profile and did not speak.

Is it really him?

In the past, it might have been difficult for Locke to find out who was monitoring him and Hannah, but now that he is an Occultist, and with witches, demons and vampires around him, finding out if he is being monitored is not a difficult thing at all.

"Rebecca."
