Becoming a god by raising witches

"That means after you die, your soul will return to Katerina's body."

"Yes."

"If Katerina dies, will her soul return to your body?"

"This has never happened before, but it's worth a try, provided I'm stronger than her."

Eileen looked down at her hands.

Countless tiny red threads appeared on her fair hands, resembling a spider web, gradually spreading from her hands to her entire body.

"what happened to you?"

Locke asked nervously.

"I think it's because I ate too much. It's okay, it's just that my body is breaking down."

Eileen said indifferently.

"Body breakdown?"

Locke remembered what Irene had said: each witch has a different limit to the power she can withstand. "If you can't withstand it, why did you eat it all at once?"

"Who says I can't handle it? It's just a matter of going through a breakdown. I can heal myself."

Eileen said confidently.

The next second, her body began to mutate into a monster-like form.

The red mesh on her skin seemed to come alive, splitting her body into countless small pieces of flesh that floated in the air.

Each piece of meat seemed to possess its own thoughts, and they were engaged in a fierce battle.

"I am Katerina's alter ego, an artificial witch with one-tenth of Katerina's soul. I am Irene Mostia. I love good food, and I admire my cat owner, Locke Bemon."

"I am Sheria Dutra, the witch of desire. I belong to the Black Rose organization and am loyal to Queen Katerina. I gain power by enjoying pleasure."

“I am the Forest Witch, Brey Ivanov. I hate Katerina. She used me and abandoned me. I will never forgive her.”

“I am Aishamu Ordesia, the witch of pain. I love pain, and I feed on despair…”

"I am the witch Audrina Hall..."

"I am Margot Schwartz, the witch..."

The little fragments acquired different consciousnesses, originating from the hearts of those witches.

Locke felt as if Eileen's body had been completely disintegrated, turning into a collection of witches.

He asked with some concern, "Xiao Ai, are you alright?"

"I'm very good."

All the pieces of meat turned around at the same time and looked at Locke.

An eye grew from each piece of meat, staring intently at Locke.

Then the pieces of meat all swarmed around.

"Locke, it's time for you to cook for me."

"Locke, you look delicious. Want to enjoy yourself?"

"Locke, would you like to become a tree? It feels great."

"Locke, do you want to experience pain? Only pain is the true meaning of life..."

The countless questions made Locke's scalp tingle. He tried his best to imagine them as the complete Eileen, and asked them...

"Xiao Ai, when will you recover?"

"I don't know, maybe a day, maybe a week, maybe a month, or even a few months."

Countless Eileens answered at the same time.

"Okay, you'll scare people if you go out like this. You'd better stay in your room until you recover."

Locke suggested.

"Of course, I'll stay here and not go anywhere."

The chunks of flesh in the air transformed into tiny Erin, some only the size of a thumb, others the size of a fist.

They all climbed onto Locke without prior arrangement, as if climbing Mount Everest, and some even fell to the ground, shattering into two Eileens.

This scene is a bit funny.

"Are you okay?"

Locke bent down, picked up the two little Erin from the ground, and placed them in his palm.

"It's alright, thank you, Locke. It's just that your face has suddenly become very big, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it."

Eileen's voice had also become more childlike, which Locke found quite amazing.

"Yes, can you become like me?"

Both Eileen asked the same question at the same time.

Locke took Eileen, who was pulling his hair, off the sofa and shook his head. "I'm afraid that won't work."

After saying goodbye to all the little Ais, Locke left the room.

Then he discovered there was another one in his pocket.

"Don't mind me, I'm Sheria, we've met before."

Eileen, who called herself Sheryl, winked at Locke.

Locke immediately took her back to her room and closed the door.

The main concern was that Eileen would be missing a part of her body when she recovered; it was definitely not because she found them noisy.

……

Katerina Castle in the Queen's Quarter of Kosork.

Katerina listened angrily to the report from the witch of the Black Rose organization and stood up from her throne.

“Bronya Peters betrayed me.”

"Yes, it was Lady Bronya. She killed our comrade, and she's in a somewhat..."

The witch Ina, who was giving her report, hesitated before speaking.

"explain."

Katerina's eyes were cold.

Is it out of control?

"Head Maid Mora Macmillan asked, in her opinion, Bronya Peters was absolutely loyal to Katerina. If she hadn't lost control, how could she have betrayed Her Majesty the Queen and killed so many of her witch companions?"

Ina shook her head. "It's not out of control. Her consciousness is very clear. It's an abnormal physical condition. She doesn't seem to feel any pain. Her state is like that of a ghost."

"Undead?"

Katerina and Mora McMillan both recalled the torrential rain.

He thought of the unusual weather, of the weather witch Antonia who might be resurrected, and of the demigod-level necromancer.

"Bronya Peters didn't bring Locke Bemon back. Instead, she attacked the Black Rose organization. It must be because she encountered a demigod-level necromancer while on a mission. That necromancer used Antonia's power to kill Bronya Peters, turning her into his undead knight and ordering her to kill her witch companions."

Moira McMillan voiced her speculation.

This is the most plausible explanation so far.

Katerina nodded slightly. "It seems that the demigod-level necromancer is after me."

“Your Majesty, I just saw this at the palace gate.”

The witch Sharon Bergman hurried over, holding a letter in her hand.

The letter was addressed to Katerina.

Sharon Bergman opened the envelope and respectfully handed the letter to Her Majesty the Queen.

Katerina frowned slightly.

[Queen Katerina, the Church of Knowledge greets you. Tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM, an alchemical chapel will explode, casting a shadow of death over the entire city. This is the price you pay for stealing knowledge. You, who support a group of plagiarists, deserve punishment.]

Katerina handed the letter to the head maid, Mora Macmillan, and said, “Notify the church to find these lunatics.”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Mora Macmillan bowed his head, took the letter, and left the hall.

Looking at Ina, who was still kneeling on the ground, Sharon Bergman asked, "Ina, how many of our comrades have we lost?"

"20 witches."

Ina said with her head down, "Most importantly, she also took the Witch's Heart."

Katerina let out a long breath.

"Is it Irene Mostia? Has she finally shown up?"
