Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Magic can bring convenience and miracles to people, but at the same time, magicians who climb to a high place will become god-like beings that people cannot disobey.

If they reach the realm of Beyonders, they will become a hopeless tyrant who cannot be killed and whose rule of darkness will continue forever... To some extent, the conquered "Blue" belongs to this category.

"Because magicians are also human beings." Angelica sighed, "Magic is not something that can improve one's moral character. In the final analysis, the level of magic talent has nothing to do with the quality of the magician himself. Once you have absolute power, the desire for power will be like a devil, and no one can control it."

When magicians reach a high point, whether they can be restrained basically depends on their own morality. Therefore, there is a saying that it is more important for magic academies to cultivate the moral standards of magicians than to teach magic.

A genius magician like Angelica, who obviously has outstanding magical talents but is limited to harming good girls, can be considered a very moral magician.

270 The Path to Becoming a God

"So you...the establishment of the Golden Dawn is to break this imbalance?"

"That's right. There is no sign of a tyrant with absolute power appearing. As long as a magical genius appears, it is possible to overturn the history of the entire kingdom. Whether it is a prosperous era or a chaotic era, there is a chance that a magician who is superior to everyone else will appear in any situation. A magician has power that no one can disobey. Whether he chooses to abuse it or not, only he himself will know."

As he spoke, Aleister's eyes fell on Angelica.

"To be honest, I originally thought that the "Black" witch, as a Beyonder, had long been accustomed to squandering her otherworldly power, but your actions proved that we can communicate with each other. But even though you are not as cruel as the witch in the rumors, there are still times when you can use your power casually."

Angelica couldn't deny it. Although she was relatively normal among witches, since she possessed power, it was impossible for her to control her temper 100%. Sometimes squandering her great power would indeed bring great pleasure.

"……not enough."

"Nothing is enough."

"I believe that the reason why the power of magicians and ordinary people causes such a contradiction is that the magician's peak power is insufficient. The power of us, the Golden Dawn, is to supplement the power of magicians, so that magicians can truly transcend mortals."

"Huh? Wait a minute."

Angelica thought she roughly understood Aleister and the pursuit of the entire Golden Dawn, but she didn't expect Aleister to suddenly make a 180-degree turn.

Aleister observed that there was an irreconcilable contradiction between ordinary people and magicians in the world. Ordinary people formed the cornerstone of history and civilization, but a powerful magician could completely rewrite the history of a country.

There are countless tyrants who have had a good end in history, and naturally there are also evil magicians who have been conquered. Ordinary people are always willing to believe that good will prevail over evil, and that vicious magicians will always be punished by justice, but the reality is cruel and ruthless. If a tyrant magician does not have a good end, it is definitely not because he has violated the laws of nature, but simply because he is not strong enough.

As long as a magician is strong enough, the entire country will be under his control.

Magicians are not invincible. Even if they are well prepared, their magic power will eventually run out. In other words, if ordinary people do not care about life and death and rush forward, there is a high probability that they will exhaust the magic power of the magician and defeat him. But reality is not a game. You can't just move your fingers and countless soldiers whose names you don't even know will rush forward.

When a person realizes that he is a tool or consumable, it is impossible for him to admit it willingly. Therefore, the gap between ordinary people and magicians is like a chasm.

"Aren't you planning to create a world without magic?"

"Why do you think so?"

"The most feasible way to destroy the balance between ordinary people and magicians is to create a world without magic and completely erase the existence of magic... Don't you think so?"

Just like the world Angelica lived in before, no matter who is a tyrant or not, all beings are equal under bullets and daggers.

"That is indeed a feasible way. But we are magicians, why should we consider ordinary people?"

Aleister denied Angelica's speculation, saying that it would be meaningless to create a world without magic and with only ordinary people. Magic must exist, and all imbalances come from the fact that magicians have not reached their true limits.

"What we want to break is the reality that magicians rely on ordinary people. More than one magician in the world has explored what the difference between humans and gods is. We in the Golden Dawn have found the truth. One of the dividing lines between humans and gods is whether they can break away from the entire group. Even if humans are lost, the sun still hangs high in the sky and the sea still flows. That's why the sun god is still the sun god and the sea god is still the sea god. The pinnacle that magicians can reach: Extraordinary, still cannot break away from the human race as a whole."

"..."

"The second dividing line between humans and gods is whether or not they can create life. Magicians dominate ordinary people but are also dependent on them. The core contradiction is that magicians are still within the scope of humans. If magicians have the ability to create life, the people under their rule will no longer obey them, and they will get rid of them and create a new group of people. In this way, the contradiction between ordinary people and magicians will be resolved to everyone's satisfaction."

“…This is the first time I’ve heard of such a solution.”

Angelica was a little bit unbelievable. She couldn't help but turn to look at Coppelia, hoping to get a different answer from Coppelia who had separated from the Golden Dawn long ago.

"After so much time... the Golden Dawn hasn't changed. Anjie, the Golden Dawn has always been this magical secret society."

After a long silence while waiting for Aleister to finish his story, Coppelia sighed quietly.

"The Secret Magic Society: Golden Dawn, its pursuit is to touch the realm of God. Magicians have always pursued to reach the extraordinary and obtain eternal life, but as Aleister said, there is a big gap between eternal life and the real realm of God. We can't transcend the world and create the world, right?"

“I never thought about achieving those things. When I became a Beyonder… well, I didn’t think much about it, and I achieved them without even noticing.”

“Wow, that’s too much! Ange and I are similar.”

"Right?"

When Aleister heard the conversation between the two Beyonders, his expression became a little subtle for a moment, but fortunately Aleister controlled himself well.

Aleister then continued.

"Some people believe that the eternal life of the Beyonders is a kind of oracle: humans are only allowed to go here and cannot go beyond. The Golden Dawn is a magical secret society where a group of magicians who are considered apostates gather together. We believe that magicians should reach the divine realm."

"Do you think reaching the realm of gods will enable magicians to manage humans better?"

"I don't seek what is better. I just think it is more correct."

Aleister replied.

The Golden Dawn pursues the truth that can allow humans to reach the realm of gods, that is, the path to becoming gods. However, the Golden Dawn does this not for the benefit of anything, but only because of their magical philosophy that only then can it be called the correct power, rather than the current world, which is so contradictory and so absurd.

I'm afraid that the birth of Anna...or rather, the research on the Permanent Agency, is a kind of research of the Golden Dawn.

Man-made gods.

They firmly believe that human beings can reach the realm of gods and become true gods who have the power to create life and are above all living things.

Aleister extended his hand to Angelica.

"Therefore, I invite you, who have already taken half a step on the ladder, to fulfill our long-cherished wish together."

271 Aleister's Secret

"..."

Angelica did not respond to Aleister immediately. Although she knew about the existence of most magic secret societies, she herself had never belonged to any of them, not even a nominal title.

"The Extraordinary people have all climbed half a step up the ladder. We have started from scratch countless times and are close to formulating a complete technique. If we can get the personal assistance of the Extraordinary people, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

"To put it simply... you want to use me to complete your magic ritual."

"That's right. Besides, as a Beyonder, the Black Witch will not face true death."

"Just because I'm not dying doesn't mean I'm willing to accept it."

Angelica glared at Coppelia beside her. Witches indeed would not die, especially Angelica, who had basically achieved true immortality. However, the feeling when on the verge of death was no different. If the neck was strangled, one would still feel suffocated. The reason why she glared at Coppelia was that most of Angelica's feelings of death came from her.

Since she knew that Angelica was essentially immortal, Coppelia was always a little... over the top. If Angelica herself were to describe it, anyone else would have really died a long time ago.

Aleister had already made the Golden Dawn's conditions clear and was waiting for Angelica's response.

However, there was one person present who did not speak.

"Lord Aleister."

"Oh?"

Anna stared straight at Aleister. Perhaps under the invisible pressure of Angelica, Aleister did not directly call Anna a failure.

"Your conditions are unacceptable to the master."

"..."

"Anna..."

"Anna will never be able to repay the master's love in her life. Because of this, if the master does something that the master is not interested in for Anna, Anna would rather give in."

not interested.

Angelica hadn't made it clear yet, but Anna spoke out her thoughts on her behalf. In fact, Angelica had no interest in Aleister and the entire Golden Dawn's plans and ambitions. Although Angelica felt that granting magicians almost god-like powers would bring greater chaos, she didn't want to be involved. Whether she supported or opposed it, she felt that it had nothing to do with her.

However, in order to prolong Anna's life, cooperation with Aleister is a necessary condition...Angelica originally thought so.

That's why Anna chose to take the initiative to stand up. If Angelica asked for it, Anna's guilt would be far greater than gratitude. She couldn't accept that her master would sacrifice herself for her.

"Well... it seems that Anna is not very willing to accept your proposal. I am the type who is happy to consult the opinions of my maids."

"What a pity. Then..."

Aleister paused.

"It won't end here, Black Witch."

"Of course. You know I'm a witch. I'm the kind of woman who becomes troublesome if she sets her eyes on something and can't get it."

Angelica smiled brightly in response, and Aleister knew what that meant.

The negotiations broke down. It's a shame.

The next moment when the negotiations broke down, Angelica decided to resolve the issue with force.

"Temperance sequence one: full area blockade."

As she didn't know what kind of magic Aleister would use, Angelica made preparations in advance. The magic instantly enveloped the entire Sankel. In this way, even if Aleister used space-folding magic, it would be interrupted by Angelica's insertion into the calculation.

Aleister did not use a magic wand, but a magic book to assist in chanting magic.

Under Aleister's precise control, the magic power contained in the Sanker veins was extracted by Aleister and used to strengthen himself.

"Congelation sequence three: Ice Age."

The entire Sankel forest was instantly frozen by Aleister. Due to the amplification of the magic power in the earth veins, both the power and the speed of activation were greatly improved. Although Aleister did not master the global blockade magic, his theoretical knowledge over the years enabled him to determine that Sankel was under Angelica's barrier. If anyone's magic touched the edge of the barrier, Angelica would immediately force it to stop.

The magic cast by Aleister had already tried his best to avoid the edge of the barrier, which was a display of his ability as the leader of the magic secret society. But in the final analysis, could Sequence Three magic really have any effect on the witch?

Angelica broke through the ice without even a second's notice. The weapon in her hand was not a magic wand, but a huge hammer that was disproportionate to her size.

Angelica moved close to Aleister and used the hammer that would make any man who saw it subconsciously close his eyes and shout in his heart, "Be a human being!", and hit Aleister directly in the vitals.

After being hit, Aleister immediately retreated, but what appeared on his face was not pain, but more of confusion and bewilderment.

"This really opened my eyes... So this is how witches fight...?"

"No, it's just a little doubt in my heart."

Angelica threw the sledgehammer in her hand casually, and the sledgehammer immediately turned into a small grass, which was originally transformed by Angelica using magic.

"You... you really are not a man, right?"

Anna, who was protected by Coppelia and not affected by the Ice Age magic, said subconsciously.

"Master Aleister is actually a woman?"

Seeing Aleister's calm expression, Anna also believed that Aleister was definitely not a man. Although Anna had never seen it with her own eyes, her knowledge told her that if a man was hit by a strong hammer, even the toughest man would not be able to save face so easily.

But Angelica shook her head.

"No, not a female either."

"Eh?"

"…Girls will also feel pain when they are hit."

This is a misunderstanding that many people have. In fact, if the vital parts are hit, both men and women will feel severe pain and it is impossible to be safe and sound.

While Angelica was explaining, she did not forget to criticize Coppelia fiercely with her eyes. Anna suddenly became curious about why her master had such a deep understanding, but she probably had already guessed the answer.

Aleister was facing the feminine figure, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a boy or a girl, so Angelica took the opportunity to make a judgment. The result was unexpected, and Aleister was not affected too much, as if he was only hit on his calves, arms or something like that.

"Gender is something external to the body. I have long since abandoned it." Aleister admitted calmly, "If you must give me a definition... asexual is the most suitable."

272 The Witch Lady's Priceless Magic

"There are indeed a few people born with this ability in the world, but their numbers are probably even rarer than those of the rare dragon race. The probability of a world-class magician appearing is even lower. You - have transformed your own body."

Angelica concluded that Aleister's physical features were acquired. Modifying one's own body would be very common in future science fiction works, but in the age of flesh and blood, it could be said to be an extremely crazy act. At most, it would be to replace wooden prosthetic limbs. Modifying a large part of one's body would be regarded as a complete lunatic.

Unfortunately, Aleister happens to be one of them.

Angelica also had a rough guess that negotiating with witches was a behavior with both risks and benefits. As the leader of the magic secret society, Aleister would not be stupid enough to negotiate without any preparation. In the end, Angelica was easier to talk to among the witches only because she knew all the Beyonders. Aleister didn't know this.

The attacks and defenses that took place in the remaining time were beyond Anna's cognition... In just a few seconds, Anna detected more than dozens of magics above Sequence 5. The higher the sequence, the more complicated it was to activate the magic. The key to measuring whether a magician is strong is not only whether he has the ability to use high-sequence magic, but also whether he can use it continuously and frequently in a short period of time.

Otherwise, continuous use in a short period of time will only completely drain the magic power stored in the magician's body, which will not be worth the loss.

The obstructing smoke and dust dissipated, and Aleister was already floating in the air. Although he still had a calm expression on his face, his pants and shoes below his left knee had been lost. However, what was revealed was not an ordinary human torso. Aleister's left leg was covered with dense spells, emitting a faint fluorescence, as if Aleister was a sophisticated and tireless magic gun mount.

"Caelum sequence one, ever-changing; multiplication sequence one, fantasy materialization. I see, you are a magician who has reached the pinnacle of both sequences."
