Chapter 906 – #197_Witches Exist (4)

One.
Earl Kohab received instructions from the Duke of Erelim to hide both prophecies that would calm the current situation.
She made her choice after much thought.
Trusting and following the person you love is a noble thing.
But when a loved one makes a wrong choice, righting it is a nobler act.
Clearly, humans have achieved remarkable growth in the last 100 years.
However, it was still premature to say that humans should be ‘feared’, and it is too premature to conclude.
Duke Erelim’s stance was too extreme.
It’s not just a matter of people dying in this world.
I don’t even consider the rules that Duke Keter has followed are entirely correct.
However, the growth of Hexsennacht, which exploits humans to its heart’s content, will intensify out of control.
If Hexennacht holds that much power, Gehenna will be threatened too.
In Count Kohab’s eyes, the side to be wary of was rather that side.
Moreover, is the prophecy hidden forever?
Maybe one day, unintentionally, for some reason, it might be revealed that the Duke of Erelim had hidden the prophecy.
If Gehenna is put on the defensive due to this concealment instruction and Hexennacht gains the upper hand, she is an act of transfer in itself.
“… Also.”
Two prophecies interpreted.
One of them is somewhat absurd and unrealistic.
But one thing is certain.
“The person who will make the most correct use of this prophecy…”
Not to mention that.
A witch who is the founder of Location Point and dedicated more to the stability of the present world than anyone else.
Martial god.
Duke of Eloa Tiphareth.
Perhaps Duke Tiphareth did not, but Earl Kohab felt a personal liking for Tiphareth.
Of course, it is not a crush between lovers, but a crush as a witch to witch.
How many of her, indeed, hate her for her just, upright, and undisturbed character?
There was no person more suitable to entrust the prophecy than this.
The line with the present world that has just been restored.
Hesitating, Kohab sat down in front of the remote communication port.
2.
Correspondence from Count Kohab.
After about 30 minutes, I heard an explanation about the surprising truth.
[That is all. For now, this is the most certain way to solve this situation]
“I will be honest. It’s hard to believe what you say.”
To be honest, Young was an opponent I did not trust.
Count Kohab made Siu a prosthetic arm, but she was a prickly orthodox witch who only worked for what she was given.
To Eloa, Count Kohab was the closest aide to the Duke of Erelim, who may have had some ulterior motives.
When Siu was kidnapped by Hexenacht, didn’t the duke of Erelim completely split up after Siu’s recruitment?
It can’t be helped that now that the prophecy handed over by his closest aide is not trustworthy.
[I know. It’s only natural that you react that way. I will send you both the original and the interpretation of the prophecy. Please confirm]
“If what you say is true… Why did Duke Erelim hide the prophecy?”
[Because it was judged that humans would be a threat to witches. And she doesn’t agree with that judgment. That’s all]
“I know first. Contact me if you need anything.”
A crystal ball that became quiet after blinking once.
Immediately, the image of the original prophecy and the interpretation of the prophecy spread out so that one could see at a glance through mental movement came to mind.
The data was sent immediately after the conversation was over.
“Do you really think this will be a solution?”
As soon as the communication ended, Siwoo looked at the data and spoke in a slightly excited tone.
Eloah agreed with him.
The prophecy says
It is true that the Witch of Creation put an intentional flaw in the homunculus.
More precisely, the homunculus was designed to attack humans as they approached the Mystery.
If more than a certain number of humans grasp the mystery, all functions of the homunculus are set to exterminate 80% of humanity.
As science developed along with history, and the contact points between the high class and witches increased, the homunculus began to attack humans.
This is supported by the fact that an extreme change occurred in the behavior of the homunculus after the scene of the witch of the reverse sky sinking the fleet was transmitted.
In the prophecy, this setting for the decline of the brilliantly built civilization and technology was named ‘flood’.
To sum up, the witch of creation was wary of human possibilities and feared a situation where a human with excessive power persecuted the witch.
Therefore, the balance was arranged through flooding.
This is the existing speculation and the truth derived from Duke Erelim’s prophecy and packaged as a ‘hypothesis’.
However, the prophecies of the rest showed that the thoroughness of the Witch of Creation did not stop there.
“What do you think, Master? He, do you think the prophecy is real?”
“It’s reasonable and justified.”
The witch of creation did not simply arrange an overflow.
A safety device has been set up in case of an emergency.
For example, if the ‘flood’ starts too early due to coincidence or accident, there is a possibility that more than the set value will die.
There is a possibility that the flood will put an end to mankind and that the same witch will not be able to respond at all.
And if the human race is completely destroyed, witches will not be able to pass on their generations.
Well, there are plenty of other variables.
Humans and witches made perfect harmony and the flooding itself was not necessary.
In other words, a problem occurred in the homunculus system itself, causing flooding that deviated from the design purpose.
The name of the device created for such occasions is…
“It’s a lock…”
“Looking back, of course I had to think about it. The homunculus is not a super-entity connected by a doctor, so why do they act the same way as if someone gave them instructions?”
Eloah said while going through the records of her prophecy with Siu.
According to the interpretation version, the lock gate is a device that can set the behavior of all homunculus.
Just like the witch of heavenly beasts, you can’t manipulate them one by one.
It is said that it is impossible to give certain orders like the king of monsters.
However, if you wish, you can stop the flooding and conversely, you can prevent the flooding from ending forever.
If you succeed in grabbing the control key of the lock, the people who will be affected by the flooding.
It is possible to save people who were dying by the homunculus even before that.
“Does the place come out too?”
“At the same time as the flooding, the pocket space hidden by the lock is revealed. This part is the place and the time.”
Nothing is certain yet.
It may be speculation, but it could be that Count Kohab, who was instigated by the Duke of Erelim, handed over fabricated data.
“Let’s check.”
“I will help too.”
Still, there are plenty of reasons to consider it.
2.
A dark room covered with sunshade curtains.
In the midst of the nightly lighting and the wafting incense, wriggling white naked bodies are overlapped.
Four women, drenched in sweat, stretched out on microfiber.
Skin color, hair color, and eye color are different, but no one is not beautiful.
Each of them were witches, so it wasn’t too strange.
There was a witch who was drinking wine with her back half-up on a bed where the rhetoric of being sensual wasn’t enough.
The man who turned the world upside down a while ago, and an executive of Qliphort.
Witch of Reversal, Urshira von Himmelslauf.
“Um…”
Covering one of her eyes with a black patch, she let out a disapproving snort and furrowed her thick eyebrows.
This is because an unwelcome guest came without an invitation.
“It’s strange.”
“What?”
“I must have said that if you shine that ugly face again, I will kill you.”
“I said so. But now I couldn’t help it. If you want to borrow the power of the cowardly witch, you have to imitate her as well.”
The place where the stare like stabbing with a knife landed was on the face where half of it was horribly melted as if it had been burned.
The witch of cowardice died the year before last, so she was on Lilith’s face wearing that pharynx.
The last time we met, he said he came like that.
Ur Shira, who was trying to energize her, waved her hand with a smirk.
“Go away. I have nothing to do with you now.”
As the center of the moderate faction collapsed, the hardliners who seized real power in Hexsenacht re-established the name of Qliphoth, who had become half-famous.
Qliphoth’s purpose is to break away from Keter’s rules and rewrite new rules.
The level of toughness was the level of stubbornness that he would not avoid even if a war broke out with Gehenna in the process.
Hexsenacht was showing signs of disintegration after helplessly allowing a pre-emptive strike.
At this rate, she might even self-destruct without a fight.
That’s why Qliphoth chose proof and performance.
He tried to promote unity and solidarity by directly creating a historical turning point that had never been seen before.
The performance selected in this way is to sink the world’s most elite fleet and publicize the existence of witches to the world.
But there was a problem here.
There is no Keter, but the location point is intact.
If you do something like that without any countermeasures, Duke Tiphareth will lead an army of witches and run away with glaring eyes.
The possibility that Gehenna would actively intervene could not be ruled out.
Most of all, in order to make a successful debut, she was struggling with dresses and ballrooms.
It was the witch of whispers who reached out to Clifford.
“Why are you doing this to suit the chill? Do you think your play would have gone smoothly if I hadn’t played the role of the windswept?”
“Who wants to help? Good words are over. If you don’t want to see blood, turn it off.”
It is undeniable that I received help from Lilith.
But that alone is unsettling.
As far as Urshira knew, there was no witch who had a good ending with the Witch of Whispers.
Being involved twice with such a demon of destruction is a specification.
“Okay, don’t be angry. It’s bloody. Then I’ll leave this alone.”
After saying that, Lilith disappeared.
Even though a witch the size of Ur Shira was watching all the time, she didn’t leave a trace as if she was an illusion in the first place.
“…”
In Ur Shira, she casually threw her poison eye at her sheet of paper that fluttered at her feet.
A witch is a creature that cannot win over curiosity.
Ur Shira laughed as she gathered her papers and flipped through them one by one.
“Under… See this year?”
I seemed to know now.
Why did the smart people who live in my pride lose their lives by falling for Lilith’s tricks?
There was a sweetness to Lilith’s whispers that made her want to reach out even when she knew it was dangerous.
Just like the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
The scent of sweet fruit barely ripened to the brink of decay.
