Chapter 376 Witch of Fate
Inside the arcane hall
Alice was shivering!
Her petite body was already at its limit after such an arduous battle She had lost one of her eyes and endured so many spells From a distance, Alice looked just like a broken doll abandoned by her young owner Not a single spot of her body re tiirl would never co heart could finally relax!
That irl was an undefeatable existence She was not sorade witches like theed her shoulders with her badly wounded hands and sat on the pile of rocks silently Just then, an exceptionally bright cluster of light floated into the hall under the guidance of a low at the center of the array
There was a strange object in the h, the powers of Fate hadn't disintegrated it Instead, it continued to float stubbornly around the lights It was a reht to behold
Alice finally broke free of her fear after ical state She stood up and looked obsessively at the irl's soul and consciousness had already been wiped away by the planar laws and reduced to pure energy essence Any entity no longer manipulated the array, and for the first ti embrace to the only victor of the Battle of Fate– Alice
The mysterious array was closely related to the Tower of Fate The array's acceptance of Alice's identity as the Witch of Fate also meant approval from the Tower of Fate Alice would become the new Witch of Fate once she absorbed the powers in this array!
Having obtained authority over the Tower of Fate, Alice was able to gain an understanding of the whole story through the data stored in the Tower's core
The mastermind behind the massive chaos in the selection of the Witch of Fate this time was the First Witch of Fate
When she had been forced to depart for the galaxy due to her power exceeding the limits of the World of Adepts, she, like the other Northern Witches, had agreed to an equal exchange with the world consciousness In exchange for her departure from the World of Adepts, the World had to allow her to iacy that would pass on for generations and eternity, never to be extinguished!
But these were only her actions on the surface!
Out of her desire and greed for the powers of Fate within the World of Adepts, the first Witch of Fate intentionally created the Tower of Fate and established the Battle of Fate She then hid part of her soul within the Tower
Every so often, when it came to the time of selection, the shards of her soul hidden within the Tower of Fate would try its best to possess and take over the body of a candidate The soul then took part in the Battle of Fate with the stolen identity
That way, it didn't matter if that soul shard lost or won the battle Since everything would be distilled into the power of Fate that fed back into the final victor of the Battle of Fate, every single Witch of Fate that came to be would have a piece of her soul hidden within them
Every Witch of Fate was like a seed planted by the Witch of Fate They slowly budded, grew, and becaer in the World of Adepts When they finally had enough power to depart frouide them towards the first Witch of Fate, ould then assimilate them and their powers
The world consciousness forbade such actions
However, with the dense powers of Fate within the Tower shrouding and obscuring the truth, the anic syste That was how the secret of the First Witch of Fate ed to crack the Tower of Fate with the Tyrant's self-destruction The subsequent use of her spacestone then allowed her to teleport the girl outside of the Tower That action exposed the truth and secret of the First Witch of Fate under the ever-watching eye of the planar laws
The most severe of planar backlashes had immediately punished the opponent The backlash was in addition to the great punish the Battle of Fate
For the first time in history, with the purification by the planar laws, the advance meddled with by the First Witch of Fate
Two mysterious options appeared in her mind when she finally stuht
The first option– power infusion
It would directly infuse the powers of Fate into her to increase her strength The energy in the cluster of light was estih to push her to become a Third Grade Witch of Fate
The second option– potential increase
She could give up on increasing her powers and use it to enhance and elevate her talents and potential instead This option was estimated to produce a vast and all-rounded increase to her current potential
Alice fell silent
She sank deep into thought when confronted with these two options
She could sense that this choice was planar feedback from the world consciousness, presented to her as a reward of sorts for having 'killed' thethe secret, she would only have the first option The second option would never have been presented to her
Judging fro her potential was undoubtedly the wisest course of action!
However, if Alice indeed did that, she would become the first person to ever advance to Witch of Fate while re at First Grade A First Grade leader of witches The situation would undoubtedly throw chaos into the politics of the Northern Witches Everything would become messy and troublesome!
If Alice stepped out of the Tower of Fate as a Third or Fourth-Grade Witch of Fate, then there would have been no question as to her authority She would be guaranteed a seat on the Witch Council, and all the former territories and resources of the Witches of Fate would be returned to her
But a First Grade leader of the Witches of Fate…
What awaited her ht be an arduous and painful journey to climb to the top once more!
The best option would cause her to walk down a path of thorns In co her ih the irl had wasted tooa Third Grade Witch of Fate still gave Alice plenty of authority within the internal affairs of the Northern Witches Her days would be more comfortable if that were the case
