Becoming a god by raising witches

Recalling what happened last night, Locke still felt some regret.

However, she is still a witch I've raised by my side, so there will always be opportunities in the future.

Locke sighed inwardly as he left the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations.

They traveled from the East District to the West District as if on a mission, and finally found an ant nest in the park in the West District.

Ants are almost everywhere, but finding their nests is not an easy task.

Locke looked down at the ants that were still tirelessly carrying the leaves.

"I'm sorry, but the end of the world never changes according to an individual's will."

After apologizing to the ants, Locke began to think about how to deal with them.

Option A, fire attack, can wipe out the entire ant army with a single fire, but this would leave no trace of the ants' remains, making it impossible to fulfill the pact with the dead.

Option B, water attack, but this would not only scatter the ant army, but some survivors might also be knocked unconscious.

Option C involves violent trampling, but this might cause some ants to fight back and climb onto your legs.

Option D, long hair art, using hair to kill these ants, but it still feels a bit disgusting.

Option E: Shadow control. Control their shadows and make them commit suicide.

Locke ultimately decided to choose the last option, which would allow him to learn two skills at once.

So Locke patiently manipulated the shadows of the ants in the park, making them carry out their suicides one by one.

Shadow control proficiency +1

Shadow control proficiency +1

Shadow control proficiency +1

……

The whole day passed just like that, and Locke finally accomplished the feat of hunting down 985 ants.

[The host has completed 1000 shadow control maneuvers, upgrading their shadow control ability to Shadow Messenger.]

[Shadow Messenger: You can control the shadows of all objects within a 200-meter radius, turning them into your servants. This effect can only last for 5 seconds.]

[Path to Advancement: Complete 10000 manipulations of shadows to upgrade to Shadow Master.]

[Shadow Master: You can control the shadows of all objects within a 1000-meter radius, turning them into your servants for 5 seconds.]

Locke wiped the sweat from his brow, finally having upgraded a major skill.

Controlling the shadow like this is really mentally taxing.

I've also maxed out [Shadow Control]. The effect of [Shadow Messenger] is an advanced version of the former, allowing you to manipulate objects in addition to living things.

Next, using the method Erin taught him, he turned all the dead ants into zombies.

Locke performed a small ritual that transformed the ants into undead.

Then the contracts with them were completed.

[The host has completed 1000 instances of Necromancy, upgrading Necromancy to the highest level of the Dead.]

[The Venerable One of the Dead: When the dead see you, they are always captivated by your charm and cannot help but want to follow you. Note: This excludes beings stronger than you.]

[Path to Advancement: Personally subdue 1000 undead beings stronger than your current abilities to upgrade to King of the Dead.]

[King of the Dead: When the dead see you, they are always captivated by your charm and cannot help but want to follow you. Even beings stronger than you will willingly become your subordinates.]

Hearing the system notification, Locke collapsed completely onto the park floor, utterly exhausted.

The zombie ants surrounded Locke like loyal guards, standing ready to prevent anyone from getting close and harming him.

The scene looked bizarre, like a swarm of ants waiting to devour a dead homeless man, who was, of course, dressed rather improperly.

Locke rested for a moment, then sat up and instructed the ants to quickly hide, join different ant armies, infiltrate them, and await their call.

The ants scattered, and Locke opened the system panel. He saw the words "[Can be fused]" after the three max-level skills: [Witch Affinity], [Shadow Control], and [Affinity for the Dead].

After thinking for two seconds, he fused [Witch's Affinity] and [Affinity for the Dead] to gain a new skill, [Witch's Legacy].

[Witch's Legacy: The spirits of the dead witches will become your legacy, joining your army of the undead.]

This skill cannot be upgraded.

I've acquired some great new skills!

This skill fits perfectly into the witch-hunting plan he and Eileen have devised.

After hunting down a witch, give the witch's heart to Irene. The witch's corpse or soul can then be controlled by you, killing two birds with one stone.

Locke rubbed his temples with gratitude, feeling that his hard work all day had finally paid off.

"Alright, it's time to send the clone to find Renis."

Locke released his clone Ming to deal with Renis, while he leisurely went home to rest.

In the soft moonlight, Ming returned to the Bureau of Investigation and Renis's room.

After seeing Ming, Renis Ying revealed a meaningful smile.

"why is it you again?"

"Director, do you have something important to discuss?"

Ming asked seriously.

"Yes, come here."

Renis waved to Ming.

Ming frowned and walked over.

……

Back home, Locke was about to get some rest as he lay down on the bed when suddenly the image of Renis's face and her stunning figure appeared in his mind.

Come again?

Half an hour later, Locke let out a deep breath.

Although it was somewhat shameful to share this feeling with his clone, he did indeed experience the taste of a witch.

The bureau chief, who appears extremely serious during the day, is like a completely different person at night.

Of course, this has a lot to do with her clones.

Shadow clones are generally an amplification of negative emotions.

Therefore, her desires were likely amplified as well.

"Now can I sleep peacefully?"

Locke muttered to himself, then suddenly remembered something. He sat up, went down to the attic, and found Eileen resting in the master bedroom.

"Xiao Ai, if my clone is forced to have something happen with someone else, will Rosalia Jiménez hold it against me?"

Locke asked nervously.

Eileen shook her head. "No. You wouldn't be thinking of using a clone to satisfy your lewd desires, would you?"

Eileen looked at Locke suspiciously.

Locke immediately waved his hand, "Of course not, how could I use a clone? I'll definitely do it myself."

"Well, unless you can defeat Rosalia Jiménez, you can forget about it in this lifetime."

Eileen pulled the blanket up, and to prevent Locke from having wild thoughts, she transformed into the shape of a black cat.

"While I can't do lewd things, it doesn't mean I can't do anything, right?"

Locke picked up the black cat and rubbed it for a while.

Petting a cat is so relaxing!

"Be bold!"

The black cat's fur stood on end after being rubbed, her back arched, and her whole body was in a state of being completely ruffled.

Who would dare to humiliate such a noble witch?

"Don't you think being touched is a pleasant thing?"

Locke asked.

After all, the other party's favorability is 100%, plus the passive skill of the Witch's Temptation.

"What do you think?"

Eileen, of course, could not admit it. Although it did feel a little comfortable, in order to punish the audacious servant, she stretched out her hand, which transformed into a vine cage, and imprisoned Locke.

"Xiao Ai, we can talk things over."

Locke, who was hanging upside down in a vine cage from the ceiling, was very frustrated and spoke in a consultative tone.

The black cat licked its paws and groomed its fur until it became incredibly soft. Eileen nodded in satisfaction, lay down on the bed, and pulled the blanket over herself.

'Hmph, next time you mess up my hair, it won't just be locking me up.'

Locke could only sigh helplessly upon hearing Eileen's thoughts.
