Becoming a god by raising witches

The drizzling rain fell from the sky, landing on the clean and tidy road surface, forming flowing streams that eventually converged in the palace of sewers.

A young man wearing a trench coat, a top hat, a black cat perched on his shoulder, and holding a black umbrella slowly emerged from the shadows. He paused briefly at the newsstand, and during the short time he spent talking with the owner, he glanced at the headlines of various newspapers.

Katerina's policy of recruiting new soldiers was widely praised by the people. Commentators even praised her as the wisest and most benevolent leader in the history of the Kingdom of Tumen, hoping that she would not be too lenient with Aidenburg and that she would push for war to defend Tumen's dignity.

Locke felt a headache coming on as he looked at the news reports that exaggerated the war.

After saying goodbye to the newsstand owner, Locke returned to his upscale apartment at No. 11, Peggs.

Standing at the door was none other than Antonia, the Weather Witch.

She was clearly in the rain, but the rain seemed to deliberately avoid her body, leaving her completely dry.

"Owner."

Antonia bowed her head respectfully.

Why didn't you go in?

Locke exclaimed in surprise, and quickly unlocked the door with his key, inviting the conspicuous Antonia inside.

If the neighbors see this, they'll inevitably gossip.

If someone were to report me, that would be even more of a headache.

As for Martin, the Knowledge Cult member who had been monitoring him, he hadn't been able to keep an eye on the real Locke for a long time due to interference from Locke's clone.

Locke's shadow clones and light clones can appear simultaneously, and they can work together to carry out various disruptive tasks.

Furthermore, their combat power is three times that of Locke himself.

I wonder what kind of creature Rhine is, that she can create clones that are stronger than the real Rhine.

Locke also needed a miracle to find such a skill.

However, Rhaenys does not have a clear clone; she is simply a shadow witch.

Ming's clone maintained an ambiguous relationship with Renis's clone because she would invite Ming over every night, which gave Ming the opportunity to report on his experiences in Matt County.

Although he cannot deceive Renis, Ming can choose to conceal part of the truth.

Locke just needs to wait for him to bring back good news.

Hannah looked in surprise at Antonia, the beautiful weather witch who exuded an aura of the dead, and asked,

"Locke, who is this?"

"She is Antonia, our new roommate."

Locke introduced.

Alice also poked her head out of the servants' quarters, curiously looking at Antonia.

She swallowed hard, sensing a terrifying demigod aura emanating from Antonia.

"Great and magnificent master, is this you, your friend?"

Alice stammered.

“She is my subordinate, one of the Twelve Knights. You can call her Antonia.”

Locke said.

Although Antonia wasn't curious at all about Hannah and Alice's identities, Locke still introduced them to her.

"This is my sister Hannah. No matter what, she is my closest family member, so you must never hurt her. This one on my shoulder is Ellie. I am her servant, so you must not disrespect her either. This is Alice, my servant. You can use her as you please. And there is one more, the demon living in this pipe, named Rebecca. She is also my servant."

Alice was somewhat depressed, but fortunately, there was Rebecca who was in the same situation as her, both at the bottom of society.

'Sigh, getting on the murals is getting harder and harder. Should I try to become one of the master's twelve knights first?'

Alice was thinking when Antonia suddenly spoke.

"Master, someone is here."

"Okay, you go upstairs first."

Locke gave the order.

Antonia nodded, and her figure disappeared from sight.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Locke, with his keen sense of smell, detected the scents of Robson and Angela.

"Alice, you should leave too."

Locke said.

Alice obediently hid in the servants' quarters.

Locke and Hannah walked to the door, opened it, and saw an anxious Angela and a sweaty Robson.

"Sorry, Locke, for bothering you so late."

Robson spoke first.

Angela's eyes were red. "Locke, Robson and I have been searching all day, but we haven't found any clues about Dimo. I think something must have happened to Dimo. Can you help me?"

Hannah looked at the boy Robson and the little girl Angela in surprise, she couldn't tell they were two children.

"Come in, have you eaten?"

Hannah said gently.

“This is my sister Hannah.”

Locke explained and invited the two into the house.

"Locke, do you know where Dimo ​​is?"

Angela asked.

Locke shook his head.

Hannah handed them two cups of black tea. "Who is Dimo?"

“He’s my colleague, and he hasn’t shown up lately.”

Locke said.

Hannah nodded. "You two chat. I'm going to the study to read. Call me if you need anything."

“Okay, Hannah.”

Hannah said goodbye to the three of them and went upstairs, giving them some time alone.

"Angela, don't rush, have a cup of tea first."

Locke said this and sat down next to her.

"Locke, if your loved ones went missing, wouldn't you be worried?"

Angela had no appetite for tea; she looked at Locke with a distressed expression.

“Locke, we’ve searched every tavern in town, but we haven’t seen Dimo. Something must have really happened to him.”

Robson said.

Because Angela had helped him before, and he probably still had a crush on Angela, he had spent the whole day with her searching.

"Perhaps the director sent him on some secret mission, which is why he didn't tell us. Otherwise, with Angela's ability to control insects, she should have found Dimo ​​long ago. Besides, Dimo ​​isn't the kind of person who would leave without saying goodbye, is he?"

Locke said.

Robson thought it made a lot of sense, and he had tried to persuade Angela with the same reason before, but Angela didn't think so.

"All missions of the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations are carried out in pairs. It's impossible for one person to act in secret. Oh no, could it be that Dimo ​​offended the director and the director killed him and turned him into a monster?"

Angela felt a chill run down her spine and stood up from the sofa. "I'm going to see the chief."

“Angela, the director isn’t such a bad person, and Dimo ​​couldn’t have offended the director for no reason.”

Robson pulled Angela aside and said earnestly.

"No, it must be the director. Only the director could do this, making it impossible for me to find Di Mo no matter what. The director blocked my senses of Di Mo. It's the director. I have to go find her. I have to ask her clearly."

Angela shook off Robson and rushed towards the door.

Locke blocked her way.

He felt that his guess was correct; Angela must also be one of the test subjects. The reason why Dimo ​​did not leave her any information before he was captured was that he wanted to see her lose control, to stimulate the test subject, and to see what kind of potential she could unleash.

If Angela were to go find Renis now, Renis would most likely capture her as well. Angela's emotional outburst and rampage would then test her true power.

So, should I stand by and wait for the outcome, or should I try to stop it?

'Heh, you know she's an experimental subject, so why don't you eat her? Eating her will make you stronger. Haven't you always craved power? Craved the ability to control your own life? Eat her.'

The voice of the Infinite Serpent suddenly entered Locke's ears.

Locke was stunned.

The last time I was able to communicate with the Infinity Serpent was when I met the necromancer Rosalia Jiménez.

Could this be because of Antonia? Antonia's rank is definitely not as high as that of the necromancer Rosalia Jiménez, but she is also a demigod.

'Although I crave power, I do not enjoy eating people.'
