Becoming a god by raising witches

When Locke handed her the Witch's Heart, she felt a long-lost sense of emotion.

Eileen's eyes reddened slightly as she held the witch's heart, which was about the size of her palm.

"I never imagined that someone as weak as you would hunt down a witch for my sake."

Hey, please don't add the words "I'm so weak".

I have the Infinite Serpent residing within me, which might just grow into an enemy of the gods.

Locke was internally complaining, but it was the first time he had seen Eileen's eyes red.

Her perfect features, coupled with that tearful expression, are simply irresistible.

Locke swallowed hard. "Eat up, let's see what new abilities we can gain."

Eileen nodded and ate the witch's heart.

She closed her eyes and felt it.

"She is a forest witch who controls plant-based abilities."

She opened her left hand, and a purple bell plant grew from it.

She then opened her right hand, from which a thick vine grew, extending directly to Locke, binding him, and dragging him in front of Eileen.

There was only 1cm between the two.

Looking at Eileen from this distance, you can see every single hair on her face; her skin is truly amazing.

"Xiao Ai, I saw Queen Katerina today. She looks a lot like you. Are you related?"

Locke suddenly asked.

"Our relationship is more than just that of relatives."

Eileen withdrew the vines from her hand, released Locke, walked to the windowsill, looked at the moon outside the window, and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Do you want to know?"

"I think."

Locke quickly caught up and stood behind Eileen.

It's best to know your own witch inside and out.

"With your current strength, it's best not to know too much."

"Could there be a secret more unacceptable than the fact that I am an experimental subject?"

Locke countered with a question.

Eileen turned around, glanced at Locke, and nodded slightly, agreeing with what Locke said.

Locke's situation couldn't get any worse.

“You can think of me as Her Majesty the Queen’s alter ego. We both belonged to the Black Rose organization of the alchemical cult. The Black Rose organization was a place that specialized in researching artificial witches. Katerina used her own cells to cultivate us in order to achieve her goal of evolving from an ordinary human into a witch. Therefore, I am also an experimental subject.”

Eileen's words shocked Locke.

Who would have thought she was a clone of Her Majesty the Queen!

No wonder she looks so much like Her Majesty the Queen, only younger.

It is a clone that Katerina cultured using her own cells.

However, the concept of clones didn't exist in this era, so Eileen said she was Katerina's alter ego.

What is the Alchemy Church doing? The transmutation of life? Artificial witches!!!

No wonder Eileen said before that only special witches possess the heart of a witch; the special witches she spoke of are actually artificial witches.

“I am the 99th test subject. Before me, there were 99 failed artificial witches who were all recycled. I was one of them. They thought I was a failure and wanted to recycle me, but I made a contract with the God of Time and transformed into a black cat, thus avoiding recycling.”

Eileen spoke calmly, as if she were telling someone else's story.

"Could it be that the witches around Her Majesty the Queen are all her clones?"

Locke asked.

"No, the Black Rose Organization also selects other talented noble girls as test subjects to turn them into artificial witches."

Eileen said, "So the witches around Katerina could also be them."

"Why would Katerina want to become a witch? Is it to gain power?"

Locke asked.

"No, Katerina contracted a serious illness 10 years ago. In order to prolong her life, she had the Alchemy Church establish the Black Rose Organization and start creating artificial witches. Her ultimate goal was to achieve immortality. Unfortunately, none of us have the ability to achieve immortality, so we can only be considered failures."

Eileen revealed Katerina's purpose.

Is prolonging life really just for the sake of prolonging life?

"But judging from her current condition, she will live to be at least 100 years old. She has already succeeded."

Locke said, puzzled.

"What she wants is immortality, she wants to unify the entire Southern Continent, and she wants her rule to last for thousands of generations."

Eileen looked at Locke, "This is probably a dream that no emperor can escape."

Locke fell silent; indeed, that was the case.

"Besides you, how many other artificial witches are there?"

"I don't know about that, but I do know that all of her clones except for me have been recycled by her. By recycling them, Katerina can have various different powers, just like me."

Eileen said,

"Furthermore, she is much stronger than me, so if she wants to start a war, you simply cannot stop her unless you release the Infinite Serpent within you in advance and become an evil god."

Will she find out about you?

“It shouldn’t be long before I’m discovered. I always thought the God of Time was still alive, but now I think that perhaps the one who made a pact with me is not the real God of Time, but just His projection or favorite. In that case, my concealment will not be enough to escape Katerina’s eyes.”

Eileen sighed and patted Locke on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'll leave here before she finds out, and I won't implicate you."

"No wonder you didn't want to come to the West Plaza with me, now I know why."

Locke pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Eileen.

"If you consumed enough Witch's Hearts, could you possibly become stronger than Katerina?"

"Theoretically, yes, but it's not possible."

"Nothing is impossible. Let's begin our witch hunt today."

Locke raised an eyebrow. He now possessed the ability to attract witches, and even the hearts of dead witches would follow him. With this cheat code, how could he not use it?

Chapter 167, The Relationship Between the Knowledge Cult and the Alchemy Cult

"Hunting witches? How do you do that?"

Eileen looked at Locke curiously. Had she not made herself clear that the artificial witches were all under the control of the Black Rose Organization and Katerina?

Hunting a witch under Katerina's nose is no less difficult than praising an evil god in a righteous god's church.

"Use me as bait."

Locke pointed to himself.

"you?"

Eileen looked at Locke with a puzzled expression.

Locke decided to let Eileen experience his charm, so he moved closer to her, reached out, and took her hand.

The two held hands and gazed at each other with deep affection.

"Miss Witch, have you felt your heart flutter? Aren't you already deeply attracted by my personal charm?"

Locke asked.

Eileen withdrew her cat paw. "Don't you think it's strange to say that you're holding a cat?"

"Um, don't worry about those details, you're still handsome in my eyes."

Locke was already used to Eileen's frequent sudden transformations into a cat, because in this form, she could better disguise her aura and digest the Witch's Heart.

Transforming into human form requires a certain amount of energy and is also easily noticed by outsiders.

"Alright, with your shamelessness in not even letting a cat go, you might actually be able to serve as bait to lure the witch."

The proud Eileen was unwilling to admit that she had indeed been somewhat moved.

"But what if doing this attracts a real witch?"

Locke stroked his chin. "Little Ai, can you tell the difference between an artificial witch and a real witch?"

"They smell different, but I can't tell you the difference."

Erin said.

"In other words, as long as you can distinguish them, that's enough."
