Otaku Witch-Chapter 519 - 415. Sincerity for Sincerity_2

One can only say that Divine Authority is, after all, Divine Authority, and its effects are still outstanding, as a powerful Peak Witch had all her Strength sealed away, leaving her as vulnerable as Mortals, crawling on the ground before her.

The Pure White Witch looked up at the sky again.

The sky above was still blue, the surrounding sea of clouds was unchanged, and there was no sign of impending Divine Punishment.

So, did the God King truly give his tacit approval to my presumption?

Sophia frowned, feeling surprised and a tinge of delight in her heart.

She truly couldn't understand what the exalted God King was thinking, uncertain if there was a special intent behind all this.

However, not understanding, she decided not to ponder further, after all, such thoughts of a high being were not hers to speculate on at present, and no amount of thinking would enable her to defy them. Since the God King did not pursue the matter, she would make unapologetic use of it and that was that.

Ah, not misuse but reasonable use.

With this understanding, more confidence surged from the depths of Sophia's heart.

After all, this de facto silent approval also meant that she had entered the God King's field of vision, which could even be considered encouragement from the God King himself.

With this realization, even a normally calm person like the Pure White Witch couldn't help but feel excited.

Although she felt a bit sorry for the young lady, she had to admit that the silent encouragement from the God King was far more reassuring than the young lady's bluster.

Thus, the flame of confidence that the young lady had just ignited in Sophia's heart burned even brighter.

It's a pity that while this move was effective, the consumption was indeed significant; just using the authority for a few seconds had drained nine-tenths of her entire Magic Power.

Luckily, Maria had little hostility towards her and even held her in high regard, so those few seconds were enough to deceive her successfully, completely deterring her. If it had been a different Angel Witch, Sophia might have had difficulty bringing the confrontation to an end today.

Such a risky plan is one she would have never considered in the past; all her plans had aimed not for the best effect, but for the highest safety, emphasizing stability and ensuring that nothing could go wrong.

However, it seems that her gamble had paid off this time, and high risk often means high rewards. Now, Maria's loyalty could be considered absolute, and even if Sophia were to reveal her Blood of Sin, this devout Angel Witch would very likely grit her teeth and continue to stand by her.

Well, Sophia still didn't want to confess; after all, the risk would still be too great. But upon further reflection, the young lady was right; not everything can be achieved through manipulation and deceit. Some things must be fought for uprightly to truly earn them.

So...

"Maria, would you be interested in hearing a story? A story about faith, Original Sin, and redemption."

The Pure White Witch continued to walk forward without turning back, murmuring as she spoke.

"Holy Lady, please tell it."

The red-haired Eight-Winged Angel Witch followed closely behind, replying respectfully, then listened quietly with rapt attention.

"Sixteen years ago, a devout follower inheriting Divine Blood, graced with Talent and seen as the chosen one by all, believed herself to be the prophesied Saint Heir foretold by the Deities. Thus, she went to the altar, attempting to pull out the Holy Sword left by the Deities."

"Yet, she did not succeed in pulling out the sword; instead, the Demon sealed in the altar took the opportunity to mock her."

"The Devil said: 'The highest Deity rules over both humans and demons, then the Deity's Saint Heir must also be acknowledged by both races, and with only humans' approval, you are not qualified.'

"Caught in grief and unwilling to accept this, the follower was seduced by the Devil's words and, in her madness, committed the profanity of defiling the Deity."

"She mixed the Devil's blood with her own inherited Divine Blood, creating a monstrous daughter, a Sinful Spawn destined not to be accepted by the world."

"Fortunately, righteous Braves arrived just in time. They sealed away the follower, who by then had fallen into depravity, but regarding the Sinful Spawn, the Braves faced a moral dilemma."

"Most Braves believed that the loathsome creature that defiled the Deity should be executed on the spot, yet one Brave, who had also just lost her child, felt compassion for the Sinful Spawn."

"She was the leader of the Braves, who ultimately persuaded her companions with forceful argument. She personally removed the Sinful Spawn's Blood of Sin and then adopted the Sinful Spawn, even willing to train the monstrous girl as her own lost daughter and heir."

"However, Fate has a cruel sense of humor. By the time the Sinful Spawn, born knowing herself, nearly forgot her true identity, truly seeing herself as the Brave's heir, the Brave suddenly found her daughter."

"Just like that, the Sinful Spawn, who originally had no place in this world, lost her purpose once again. She began to feel lost, uncertain about the meaning of her birth."

"Even though the Brave treated her the same as always and did not neglect her adopted daughter despite her own child's return, the Sinful Spawn was keenly aware that nothing could return to the way it was."
