After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 409 - 152 Promotion to Demon_2

Although Ahtal had already become a demon-level powerhouse, her pride in her speed still provided help to Ahtal.

However, as Ahtal continued to grow stronger, her role might become negligible.

...

...

Doris City.

In the room where witches gathered.

"Just head straight to the Magic Kingdom." The Corpse Witch showed a surprised expression, "Ahtal, you really do worry about your teacher a lot."

She glanced at the Witch of Death, who was quietly reading a book, and smiled faintly.

"I thought Ahtal would come and share the good news with you first, since it was with your help that the ritual was completed."

Witch of Death: "..."

"It’s not a big deal anyway." The Witch of the Moon yawned, stood up using one hand to support herself on the armrest of the sofa, and walked towards the door while saying to the Corpse Witch, "If you really want to join the excitement, it’s not too late to head to the Magic Kingdom now."

"Do I look like someone who joins for the excitement?" The Corpse Witch retorted, but her body was very honest as she flew out of the window toward the sky.

She was not a woman who liked to seek excitement, but she did want to know how strong Ahtal had become after becoming a demon.

What power could be revealed by the most astonishingly talented man of this era after he transformed into a demon.

The thought alone sparked curiosity.

The Witch of Death stopped flipping through her book, looked in the direction of the Magic Kingdom, then bowed her head and continued reading.

...

...

Magic Kingdom.

Great Library.

"..." Xi Mu pushed the door and entered, followed by a small mare in human form, both hurrying towards the usual reading spot of Hecate.

"My apprentice, you are late." Hecate turned her head to look at her hurried disciple and showed an extremely gentle smile, "Your master is not as weak as you think."

"If you are that weak, don’t force yourself." Xi Mu said irritably, sitting down next to Hecate and gently touching her forehead, "Hasn’t the Creation Witch treated you?"

"Your master cannot trust the Creation Witch." Hecate shook her head lightly, expressing her distrust towards the Creation Witch very frankly. Although the Creation Witch could heal her quickly, she feared unexpected changes might occur if the Creation Witch got any strange ideas about studying the power of the Destiny Witch.

Therefore, she preferred to heal herself.

"The Creation Witch is a pretty decent person." Xi Mu said, not even believing his own words, which made Hecate stretch out her hand and lightly flick his forehead.

"Your master is the one who comprehends fate." Hecate withdrew her hand, watching her apprentice rub his forehead and look at her with a hurt expression.

"Anyway, let’s talk about something serious." She chose to change the topic, explaining to Ahtal, "Thanks to the Creation Witch’s help, your master managed to tear off a corner of fate."

"Tore off a corner of fate?" Xi Mu feigned confusion, only to see Hecate conjure a glass bottle out of thin air and gently shake the eyeball inside.

"This is the Goddess of the Past’s eyeball, which has the ability to view all the history of the past."

Xi Mu raised a doubt: "Can this eyeball be of any use?"

In this world, it was common for arms to be chopped off, hearts to be dug out, but they could regenerate quickly. Even if a transplanted arm or heart were used, it would not convey the corresponding powers.

This was both because power concerns the soul and because there are cases of incompatibility, unless it’s a situation like that of the Monster Witch, where under compatible bloodlines, a powerful life form can be composed.

Merely taking an eyeball would be meaningless.

"Your master tore off a corner of fate, not just taking an eyeball." Hecate explained patiently, "If in the future your master has the chance to capture the Three Goddesses of Fate for research, she should be able to quickly maximize the power of fate."

"Understood." Xi Mu nodded slightly, "I will capture the Three Goddesses of Fate and bring them to master in the future."

"Your master is not in a hurry." Hecate gently shook her head, stating insincerely, "With this torn corner of fate, it’s sufficient for your master to study fate."

In fact, she was quite anxious about developing the power of fate, with the Ragnarok from the future constantly approaching and her disciple nearing an irreversible path, she had to create a new line of fate.

Otherwise, everything would be irretrievable.

"I’m actually quite anxious," Xi Mu said jokingly. "If I don’t quickly help my teacher become stronger, won’t I graduate?"

"Hmm," Hecate pondered. "My apprentice, now you might even be more formidable than I am."

She was quite clear about just how strong her own apprentice was. If she was a mage specializing in scholarly magic, then her apprentice was... a mage specializing in combat magic, even though she could crush her apprentice in theoretical knowledge.

But fighting was another matter altogether.

Unless she could capture the Three Goddesses of Fate, only then could she establish an absolute advantage in power over her apprentice.

However, she couldn’t defeat the Three Goddesses of Fate, and naturally, she couldn’t get stronger by studying them.

And if she could defeat the Three Goddesses of Fate, then naturally she would be stronger than her apprentice.

"Teacher, I’ve only become a Demon less than a day ago," Xi Mu waved his hand. "How could I possibly be a match for you?"

Hecate gazed deeply at her obedient apprentice and then sighed despondently, causing Ahtal to show a puzzled expression.

"I will speak with the Witch of Death. You just think carefully about what you really want, okay?"

"Is this a revelation from fate?" Xi Mu asked, but saw Hecate maintain a gentle smile, not specifying whether it was indeed a revelation from fate.

Seeing this, he did not press further, but instead said:

"Teacher, I must return to the Witch of Death for a while."

"I am already very happy," Hecate said with a gentle smile, caressing Ahtal’s cheek. "That you came to see me at the first opportunity."

"Seeing that you are safe and sound, I am also very happy," Xi Mu smiled, then gracefully stood up and left the great library with his pony.

Hecate watched as their figures disappeared, raised her hand to cover her lips as she coughed, and after lowering her hand, revealed the bloodstains on her palm.

Although it was the Creation Witch who fought with the Three Goddesses of Fate, she merely seized an opportunity to tear a corner from fate. However, the furious counterattack from the Goddess of the Past still inflicted considerable damage on her.

"For Ahtal’s sake, I won’t mess with you," the Creation Witch’s figure appeared opposite Hecate.

She elegantly sat on the sofa, holding a cup of tea in one hand.

"Do you really not need me to heal you?"

"I am not yet so weakened," Hecate gently shook her head, then took the eye of the Goddess of the Past from a glass bottle and vengefully pinched it lightly.

Meanwhile.

In the streets of the Magic Kingdom.

Alleyway.

"Anfis, what do you need from me?" Xi Mu looked quizzically at the minstrel who was leaning against the alley wall, smiling at him.

"Ahtal, do you... understand fate?" Anfis revealed a mysterious smile. "Hecate must have given you a revelation about fate."

"How did you know?" Xi Mu feigned confusion. As he approached the Magic Kingdom, this follower of the Dusk Cult, disguised as Anfis, had pretended to approach him and invited him to meet afterward.

At this, Anfis smiled. Her guess was indeed correct. With the Destiny Witch Hecate’s abilities, she could foresee the future and would hint at fate to Ahtal.

"Ahtal, do you wish to save the All-Knowing Saintess?"

"..." Xi Mu’s expression stiffened, looking at Anfis, who seemed to have everything under control, as if his thoughts had been read.

Another correct guess.

Anfis was a bit excited; could this be the fate’s gravity of Ragnarok? Otherwise, how could things go so smoothly?

Logically, she should have been directly suppressed by the Destiny Witch upon approaching the Magic Kingdom, having no chance to contact Ahtal at all.

But since everything was progressing so smoothly, the only explanation was the fate’s gravity of Ragnarok.

However, she couldn’t reveal her hand just yet.

"To save the world, an innocent woman must be sacrificed," Anfis lamented. "This world really is... terribly messed up."

Xi Mu uncertainly asked. "Do you have a way?"
