Chapter 218 Ancient Spirits, Dragon God and the Great Witch!

Standing behind Deya was a petite girl.

She has short black hair and her skin is fair and smooth like jade.

The girl was wearing a black long dress that covered her entire body. Except for her hands and the area above her neck, almost no skin was exposed. She looked serene and elegant.

And those delicate facial features were so familiar to Deya, it was none other than Lamia, the witch of time!
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Deya's mind.

His first thought was that he did not enter the World Memory, but something went wrong with the World Memory that brought him to a strange place.

'Is it because of the fog of history?'

Thinking about these things in his mind, Deya asked, "Where is this place? Shouldn't I have entered the World Memory?"

"You are now in the world's memory, and the current time point is exactly 3,800 years ago when you entered."

Lamia replied calmly.

This answer was beyond Deya's expectations.

"I actually entered the World Memory, then why are you here, Lamia? Or, in other words, you are not Lamia!"

Since there is no problem with the world recollection, the only answer is that the woman in front of him who looks exactly like Lamia is not Lamia herself.

But why did she know her own name, and even what would happen in the future, especially why did she know that she was in the world's memory!

You should know that the characters in World Remembrance are all 'NPCs', and they themselves don't know that they are just NPCs.

Even if you discuss these things in World Remembrance, the people you meet in World Remembrance will subconsciously ignore them. This is the mechanism of World Remembrance itself.

But this Lamia in front of him actually knew that this was a fragment of time that the world was commemorating!

The cold witch then said: "Strictly speaking, I am not the Lamia you remember, but there is no difference. You can call me the 'Great Witch'."

"Big Witch?!"

Deya looked in amazement at the woman in front of him who looked exactly like Lamia.

Is she the legendary root of all witches, the legendary great witch?

Deya asked calmly: “Since you look the same as Lamia, it means that you and Lamia have some unknown relationship.

Then can you tell me what is the relationship between you and Lamia? Mother and daughter? Reincarnation?"

The witch in front of him was very similar to Lamia in character. She hardly smiled and had a cold expression: “Don’t worry, Deya, I will tell you what you want to know.

The first thing to make sure is that I am indeed related to the witch Lamia you know, but I am not related to just her as a witch.

All witches, whether you know them or not, are related to me."

Deya listened quietly to the words of the great witch in front of him.

"Go on."

"I am the source of all witches. All witch powers come from me. All the incredible abilities you have seen also belong to me.

The witches of the future are the result of my power being divided after my death. My power has become multiple forms of existence, and each piece of power has formed a witch in the future."

The Great Witch explained: “…So, every witch is actually me, and they are all connected to me.

The reason why I appear before you as Lamia is, firstly, Lamia's power is quite special, and secondly, this posture should be more familiar to you."

Deya said thoughtfully: "Is it because of the power of time?"

"That's right, it is precisely because of the power of time that all time witches in different stages and eras possess the same power.

But the Time Witches are not me, the Great Witch, after all, and they cannot use this power perfectly.

Therefore, the time witches living in different eras are unable to use the power of time to make predictions.

But I am different. I am the root of all witches and I hold the fundamentals of everything about witches. I can make my consciousness travel through time and appear in different eras. I can predict what will happen in the future from all the time witches in the future.

And this power of time is also the most important and powerful ability of me, the Great Witch."

The witch of time actually has such power?

Deya thought it was outrageous enough that Lamia could die and come back, but he didn't expect that the power of the real time witch was to allow him to receive all the information about the future and even cross time.

In Deya's opinion, this power has even completely surpassed those known gods!

If this power is used well, it can even completely change the future.

Deya's heart moved at this time, and he asked: "Does my ability come from you?"

Deya did not make it clear that he had the ability to change the future in the world's memories. He was just testing whether the great witch knew about it.

The Great Witch said calmly: "No, your ability does not come from me, it is your ability."

Sure enough, this witch knows that she can change the future, so why does she appear here? Could it be that she wants to use this ability of hers?

The Great Witch can connect with the Time Witch of the future, so she knows all of Lamia’s memories and past. With the wisdom of this Great Witch, she must be able to analyze her own abilities through every bit of contact between her and Lamia.

Just like now, when I just appeared in the world memory, she came in front of me. It is impossible to say that she has no purpose.

Perhaps seeing through Deya's thoughts, the Great Witch said coldly: "I have no intention of using your abilities. My mission has been completed, and I should move on to my destiny."

"Your fate?"

"Death's fate."

The witch stared at Deya with her inky black eyes and said, "...In the future, among witches, there will only be legends about the witch, but no one knows who she is.

That's because I have already fallen, but at the same time, I am not completely dead. As I said just now, I control the power of time, and all the time witches are me."

Deya was puzzled: "Why is this happening? With your ability, you should be able to avoid the end of your fall, right?"

If one could know the future, then changing one's own destiny would not be easy for Deya, but there would always be a chance.

But the great witch in front of him seemed to not care about her own death at all, and even walked towards death willingly.

"I cannot avoid my own death. This has been destined for me since I was born, because all my abilities are inherited from the 'first wizard'.

Such an ability close to omniscience is not something I can control, and this power will inevitably destroy me completely."

The witch walked forward, came to Deya's side, looked up at the huge magic instrument in front of her that was like a tower, and asked, "Do you know what this is?" "I don't know."

Deya shook his head.

"You can think of it as a woman's womb, the embrace of a mother, where I was born."

The Great Witch's words shocked Deya: "Are you a construct? Are you a man-made product?"

"That's right. I am a construct created by humans. You can also say I am a puppet, just like the puppeteer you met before. I am a puppet created by humans that is indistinguishable from a real person."

"But who has the ability to create a puppet like you that has power close to that of a god, no, power that exceeds that of a god... Is it the original wizard?"

Deya shut up halfway through his speech.

Of all the people he knew, only the mysterious wizard might have the ability to create a creature like the Great Witch.

The witch's voice was calm: "You guessed right, I am the puppet that the original wizard planned to create.

But even my real mother failed. She did not create me. Even she did not have the ability to create the 'Great Witch'."

The witch's words were very contradictory, so Deya did not interrupt her. He knew that the witch would tell him all the truth.

“My mother, the source of magic, created me with the intention of creating a guardian who could protect humanity, but she was unsuccessful until her death.

His vision was too grand, and the power he wanted to create was too strong, so failure was the inevitable outcome.

But even though Mother had passed away, Her students were not resigned to the fact. The original mages of the Nine Rings Tower discovered the instrument made by Mother.

Then, they collected the remains of the mother after her death, trying to revive her again, but as fate would have it, the mother did not come back to life, and instead I was truly born.

I am an artificial being born at the cost of my mother's death, and I am born with power comparable to that of a god.

But this power is too strong for a man-made being like me, and it will eventually kill me."

The Great Witch stared at the huge magic instrument in front of her and said, "... Do you understand? This is my fate. No matter how much I know about the future, my innate flaws will inevitably lead to my downfall."

Deya whispered: "After you die, your power will be dispersed, and each piece of power will become a witch?"

Just the witches that Deya knows, each of them has powerful abilities unique to her.

If all the witches' abilities were combined into one person, it would be beyond imagination.

"So, why did you bring me here?"

Deya believed that he came here when he entered the world to recall the past. It must be that this powerful witch used some kind of ability to bring him here.

“In order to help you, I will make it as easy as possible for you to complete this world recollection and get promoted.

Now you should already know that it is not that you gain power only after completing World Remembrance, but that you already have the ability to advance. World Remembrance is preventing you from being promoted.

Therefore, bypassing the restrictions of World Remembrance is the best way to advance. The tasks of World Remembrance are difficult for those who are promoted, and I will help you overcome these tasks. "

The big witch's words made Deya complain in his heart, Good man, you want to help me cheat, right?

"Why are you helping me? Is it because of Lamia?"

After much thought, Deya could only conclude that the great witch was so enthusiastic because of Lamia.

However, the Great Witch shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with the future 'me'. The reason I'm helping you is because of the dangers that humans will face in your era.

You are the most suitable person to save humanity and help it overcome the crisis. I am the creation of the First Mage, and I was born on his body. His mission is my mission."

Have I become the savior of mankind?

Deya muttered to himself.

I can’t bear it when I’m suddenly asked to wear such a tall hat.

Deya said in a half-joking tone: "After I knew that I had the ability to change the past and the future, I even doubted whether the original wizard was me."

What he said was actually meant to be a test.

The witch seemed to smile, and she said, "It's understandable that you would have such thoughts, but you were not the original wizard.

Just like I call Him mother, it's because He is a woman, how are you like a woman?"

This question left Deya speechless.

If the original wizard was a woman, then it would not be me.

The Great Witch continued, "But you and He have the same qualities, which is why I believe you can accomplish this mission."

"I don't like the so-called mission that others force on me."

Deya said with a frown.

"But you still do it. In the era when you live, something very troublesome happens. If you don't solve this problem, your relatives, your friends, and even yourself will die in that catastrophe.

You are not fulfilling a so-called mission, you are saving your family and yourself."

Deya thought about it and realized that if the world really fell into complete chaos, then everyone would be drawn into it and would not be able to escape.

He said: "Okay, then how can you help me complete this world recollection, and what is the mission of this world recollection?"

The Great Witch whispered: "The person who can help you is not me, but another person. He is behind you now."

Deya turned his head suddenly when he heard this.

Behind him stood a little boy who looked very young.

When the little boy saw Deya, he smiled and waved to him.

The Great Witch then said: "He is the ancient spirit, you can also call Him by another name - Dragon God!
Although you have not seen Him, I think you should be very familiar with Him. Whether in your memories of another world or in the era you live in, you have already had some contact with Him. "

The image of Ignis, the silver dragon, instantly flashed through Deya’s mind!
The connection between myself and this ancient spirit is Ignis.

Oh, that’s not right. When I was still weak, what I was best at was using bone dragons and the mythical power of ancient spirits to fight the enemies.

There really is a very deep connection between me and this Dragon God.
