This is what Aurora wanted.
She let the witches walk around and spread fear, and then randomly selected a few enemies who had pushed them to desperate situations, and made them the first batch of men to be transformed into witches under the influence of the witch's secret potion.
The reason there was no large-scale action was because Aurora did not want to add power to Atlas.
It is obviously impossible for these witches who were forcibly transformed to join them. Even if these witches are willing to join them, she would still despise them.
Witches are pure and view the world with pure malice, and these forcibly transformed witches are all corrupt and degenerate. Not only will they not worship God, but they may also commit acts of blasphemy.
When their appearance successfully attracted Atlas, Aurora sent them on their way without hesitation.
Under the dark night sky.
The burning flames lit up the clearing.
More than twenty witches stood in a row, the firelight illuminated their faces, but even under the reflection of the flames, their faces still looked cold.
Only two meters away from them, four newly born witches, who still looked very strange, were lying in a mess.
These new witches are witches who were forcibly transformed, and they were also the former enemies of the standing witches.
In the days past, the standing witches struggled in the dark world, watching these people push them into the abyss step by step.
They once had families, they once had ideals, and they once simply believed that there was hope for this world.
Until they were hungry meal after meal, until they found that their whole family had become slaves, until they were pinned to the ground and watched their family members who stole food for them being beaten to death, until the food they begged for with great difficulty was snatched away again...
Everything is over.
Now, those who persecuted them are dead, but they are not excited in their hearts.
“This is just the beginning!”
This corrupt world is beyond salvation. What they need to do is not to kill one or two people, but to end this world completely.
Everyone must die, including me!
Aurora thought so, and so did the witches who followed her.
It was extreme, but to them it seemed as beautiful as dead autumn leaves.
Aurora waved her hand and wiped out the bodies of the new witches who were killed.
This is their last night in the witch's kingdom. Tomorrow, they will go to kill Atlas.
As long as Atlas dies, the Atlas city-state will immediately fall into collapse, and at that time, the entire human society will be in turmoil. At that time, they can implement their extermination plan -
Turn all humans into low-level witches, and then humanity will be completely destroyed because it cannot reproduce!
But even this is not the end.
The witches want to end this world, not just the humans in it, so after killing Atlas, they have to find a way to destroy this world.
As the night deepened, under the quiet sky, the witches sat around a tall fire. No one spoke, and no one walked around.
They sat there from dusk till dawn, as if they were statues that had been there since long ago.
It would be fine if it really was a statue, because at least statues don't feel pain.
As daylight began to rise, Aurora stood up.
"Let's go find our tomorrow."
The witches are also looking forward to tomorrow, but the tomorrow they are looking forward to is the tomorrow when everything starts from scratch.
Aurora took the lead and walked out of the witches' kingdom. All the witches followed her consciously. The witches formed a long dragon and walked on the earth in the dim morning light.
This is the time when the sun is rising, but the witches are chasing the sunset.
In fact, not all witches want to end the world out of hatred. Some witches want to do so out of gratitude.
After meeting Aurora, they received redemption they had never had before, just like when Aurora met the nursery rhyme in the rain.
They were grateful to Aurora, so when they learned that Aurora wanted to end the world, they firmly supported Aurora.
To them, Aurora was not only their savior, but also the only star in the dark night sky. Whatever Aurora wanted to do, they wanted to do too, without changing their minds from the beginning to the end.
Aurora didn't know all this yet.
She didn't know that witches could also be grateful, and she didn't know that witches could also love.
But the nursery rhyme outside the world knew everything clearly after reading the witches' thoughts.
Witches are a group of unique creatures who do everything in an extreme way. They are born in hatred, but hatred is not the nourishment for their growth.
Although they are extreme, they also have their own unique brilliance.
Tong Yao continued to stare at the phone screen.
At noon, the witches found Atlas without any hindrance, who was accompanied by only a few people.
From the moment he saw the red crystal, this encounter was completely expected by Atlas.
He did not run away because he knew it was all in vain.
It is undeniable that Atlas is a man of great courage. He is not afraid of being surrounded. The only thing he fears is the past when he became Murad's experimental material.
【You came earlier than I thought. 】
Atlas faced the witches, and text boxes floated above his head.
The witches on the opposite side didn't say anything, only he continued.
[I have come all the way from Murad to now in order to get the recognition of the roots and completely erase the past we have experienced. In order to achieve this goal, I will do my best and use everything I can. No one can stop me, not even you! ]
Atlas did not make any impassioned accusations or loud rebukes; he simply stated his attitude in an impassioned manner.
That calm look was no different from when he was giving a speech in front of the civilians, and no different from when he ambushed and killed the two companions who had escaped from Murad's control with him.
He wants to erase that past.
Yes, erase, not simply cover up.
He wants to use the power of the root to reverse the past and make it seem like that past never really happened.
The battle between the witch and the great magician, the Sun King, unfolded without any delay.
Atlas was very powerful. Although the use of magic by humans in this era was still very rudimentary, relying on his extraordinary magical talent and the understanding of the source of magic, he was able to make magic explode with extremely terrifying destructive power in his hands.
But the opponent he faced was the well-prepared original witch Aurora and a group of witches subordinate to Aurora.
Aurora had also seen the root, and now she had even merged with the root of the Gate. She was not the Gate, but she could borrow the power of the Gate.
If nothing unexpected happens, Atlas will die at the hands of the witches. After all, he is only a human.
But just when Atlas was in danger, the Wheel of Fortune suddenly played a joke on Aurora.
A roar as if from the abyss came from the distant mountains, and then a huge monster broke through the obstacles, rushed into the battlefield, and completely disrupted the situation with its twisted and invincible body.
"Devourer."
Tong Yao stared at the phone screen.
The monster that defeated the witch was the third mythical life-eater.
In fact, this is not an accident, there are traces of this happening.
As a god, she had already noticed the Devourer's movements.
Before the witch appeared, this mythical life transformed from Nanxing had been roaming in the wilderness. Out of its instinct to become the ultimate life, it constantly devoured other lives, like a god of flesh and blood.
But after the witch appeared, the Devourer stopped killing.
Because of the excessive fusion of blood, it has lost its wisdom, but even if it has lost its wisdom, it still has not discarded the thing that it cares most about in its heart——
Humanity!
It's back!
For everything that it and many people like it had fought to protect with their lives!
If Tia is not considered a mythical creature, then this is the first battle between mythical creatures.
The witch who wants to end the world and the devourer who wants to protect humanity fight for their respective ideals.
66 The Egg Laid by the Witch and the Pillar of the Sun!
In a sense, the battle between the witch and the devourer can also be regarded as a confrontation between magic power and blood power.
On one side is the witch who has fused with the root of the [Gate], and on the other side is the devourer who has fused with a great deal of blood power.
When creating these two forces, the nursery rhyme did not balance the strength of the two forces in a so-called way, because there was no need for that.
She created these two powers to increase the probability of human civilization surviving in this world, not for any competitive competition, so balance is something that does not need to be considered at all.
In Tong Yao's opinion, at this stage, since the world still lacks enough lives with powerful genetic fragments for the Devourer to devour, the upper limit of Aurora, who has transformed into the Original Witch, is actually higher.
But high is just the upper limit.
To make your strength reach the theoretical upper limit, it takes a lot of time and energy.
For Aurora, who has been the original witch for less than a year, these are exactly what she lacks.
Thus, in the battle against the Devourer, which had been roaming the earth for more than fifty years, Aurora quickly fell into a disadvantage.
The power she wields can shake the earth, but it cannot shake the Devourer.
She invokes the plague, causing the Devourer's body surface to wither rapidly, but the Devourer will soon shed the dry shell, revealing fresh, aggressive flesh and blood again.
She condensed her magic power into magic bullets, which rained down like raindrops, turning the Devourer's body into a pile of rotten meat. However, the Devourer just shook his body and returned to normal.
She can also manipulate pain, breed despair, and control all kinds of terrible disasters, but these methods are ineffective against the Devourer.
In other words, although it is effective, it cannot completely kill the Devourer.
As long as the Devourer is given a chance to breathe, it will re-condense into shape and use its twisted limbs that make it difficult to tell what they are to launch various attacks such as entanglement, whipping, and piercing.
These seemingly simple means of attack are deadly to witches.
The witch is different from the devourer. The devourer possesses a part of life power in his body, so he has such terrifying recovery ability.
Although the witch's body has been transformed by the witch's secret medicine, that transformation will not make the witch's body as hard as gold or iron.
In fact, even if the witch's body was as hard as steel, she would not be able to withstand the attack of the Devourer.
The various claws, tails, horns, etc. hanging on the large piece of meat in the middle of the Devourer each have their own uses. Some have the terrifying penetrating power of a drill, and some can devour the physical strength of other lives.
Once a witch is caught by the Devourer, her strength will be quickly drained away and she will die in the subsequent attack.
Aurora didn't want to admit it, but reality told her clearly that with the Devourer blocking the way ahead, there was no way she could kill Atlas today.
Even if she wanted to exchange her life for another one and then find a new body, it wouldn't work.
On the one hand, it’s because the Devourer is too huge, and blocking it would create an insurmountable chasm.
Even if she could use almost instantaneous speed over a short distance, it would be of no avail. The Devourer was a "flexible fat man" and among the advantageous genes it had fused, there were many that were beneficial to speeding up its movement speed and reaction ability.
On the other hand, she discovered that some of the Devourer's attacks could hurt her origin. Perhaps, after she was killed by the Devourer, she was truly dead and could not find a new body to revive.
"Where did you get this monster from?"
The fire of hatred was burning, and Aurora stared at Atlas.
Atlas didn't know either. When he was born, it had been nearly thirty years since Nanxing's death. In the environment where he grew up, he had never even heard of Nanxing's name, let alone the Devourer.
Aurora didn't have much energy to pursue the answers to the questions in her heart.
The bigger problem she faced than discovering that she couldn't kill Atlas was that she couldn't escape herself.
The Devourer looked like it was going to kill everyone.
This has nothing to do with the Devourer's instinct to protect humans. This is its fighting instinct. Once it enters a battle, it must kill all enemies.
Aurora was wise. She understood that as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
She had a feeling that her retreat would come at a price, but when it actually happened, she realized that the price was nothing like what she had initially imagined.
When she was injured by the Devourer, her witches jumped out one after another.
These witches completely disregarded their own lives. Even if their bodies would be broken into two pieces, they stood in front without wavering, vowing to fight for a chance for Aurora to escape safely.
"Go quickly!"
"Sister Aurora, it doesn't matter if we die. As long as you are alive, our lofty ideals will not be shattered."
"From the day we became witches, our fate was already determined. It makes no difference whether we die early or late."
