Chapter 106 - 106 89 My Magic Power is Inkjet

106: 89 Chapter My Magic Power is Inkjet 106: 89 Chapter My Magic Power is Inkjet Xu Yang brought Farosa away from Suzuki Springs and back to the shuttle machine.

“Although the great magic power fluctuation was but a moment, it must have alerted the Corporate Alliance.

It’s not advisable to stay here long,” said Lila as she operated the shuttle machine to retreat.

“It seems there’s some fake news,” Xu Yang searched through the daily news and found that, although edited, some news reports mentioned the detection of exceptionally abnormal magic readings, which were later confirmed to be misunderstandings and rumors.

“Farosa has the ability to cover up the fluctuations, but those with intentions will link this incident to the excavation of the Ancient Witch,” Lila analyzed.

“After their initial confusion, they will soon realize the existence of Farosa, link the two matters together, and eventually focus their attention here.”

“Prepare for battle,” Farosa said succinctly, aware that the open and hidden threats from every corner were fast approaching.

“How extensive can your restored power extend?

Can you eradicate all life on Earth or rewind the entire world by a thousand years?” Xu Yang asked.

“Such feats require prior preparation,” Farosa replied.

“If we’re talking about regular power, it can be said that I now have an inexhaustible supply of magic.”

Farosa’s Divine Power acted like an amplifier or catalyst, greatly magnifying the effectiveness of magical power, but to truly wield her Divine Power reserves, she needed to go through a series of complex rituals; after all, she herself was not a deity and could not wield it flexibly.

“First, to the excavation site, there’s an agreement to be fulfilled,” Xu Yang said.

“Monitor the surroundings along the way to see if anyone else got there first.”

“Understood,” Lila piloted the shuttle machine, swiftly heading towards the Bronze Titan Excavation Site.

“Little Lila, how do people nowadays categorize the power levels of witches?” Farosa inquired.

“Why do you call me that?” Lila was puzzled.

“I am a great witch, and you are Little Lila,” Farosa declared assertively.

“I will be the leader of all witches and the new chairperson of the Council in the future.

Think carefully about the weight of this position.”

“Turns out you’re not just a mindless destroyer; you actually have some constructive ideas,” Xu Yang couldn’t help but remark.

“What exactly does the New Council intend to do?

How are you planning the future of the witches?”

“I don’t know,” Farosa felt a headache coming on.

“I’ve never thought about this question.” She just enjoyed giving orders and being on top.

“In terms of witch hierarchy, the weakest are called Hatchlings,” Lila said.

“Then, companies assess the magic power, categorizing the witches according to their familiarity and performance with their own power into three levels: Lower-Rank Witch, High-Ranking Witch, and Dominator.”

“I’ve heard about it too,” Xu Yang recalled.

“The vast majority of witches are Lower-Rank Witches and Hatchlings.

It’s quite remarkable to be rated as a High-Ranking Witch, let alone a Dominator.”

“That’s right.” Farosa found that nothing had changed.

“What follows is roughly similar, only there are ranks stronger than you know, namely Hatchling, Lower Rank, High-Ranking, Dominator, Supreme, and Empress—a total of six levels.”

“Which level would you say you’ve reached after restoring your power from the god?” Xu Yang was curious.

“A level unmatched by anyone,” Farosa said mysteriously.

In fact, by her own estimation, she was currently on par with a Supreme Witch.

With the amplifying effect of Divine Power, she would be at Empress-level, a rarity throughout history with only about one to three Empresses existing at the same time, typically serving as leaders of the Council.

“So you must still act cautiously to avoid drawing premature attention from the companies,” Xu Yang reminded.

“I’m not stupid.” Farosa had already drawn attention from all the Ancient Mystics and now had no desire to provoke an encirclement by the companies.

“As for the title of Supreme Witch,” Lila said, “no such beings have existed since the corporate era began, and as for Dominator Witches, there are about 10 to 15 globally, depending on the privacy and assessment policies of different companies.

The ‘Empress’ witch you mentioned is only referred to in a few records and is considered a theoretically attainable level.”

“Supreme Witch was the entry threshold for the old Council,” Farosa murmured.

“Ah, the witches of today are really too weak.

I can only seek allies from among those frail Dominators, which is a real tragedy.”

“At the peak of my career, I was only a Lower-Rank Witch, how unfortunate,” Lila said.

The main reason she was retired was her high degree of cybernetic integration, which prevented her from advancing in magical power, leaving no further opportunity for progress, and thus her value had been depleted.

“You did very well,” Xu Yang nodded.

“Lower-Rank Witches can’t even fully exploit their own power,” Farosa mocked, “like a foolish child waving a sharp sword, the visible power is what scares people, not the one wielding it.”

“Even so, a Lower-Rank Witch with military training could defeat some self-proclaimed Supreme Witches in close combat,” Lila said.

She knew she could still beat the progressed version of Farosa; Farosa was bound to stumble when excited.

“I generously allow you to take pride in that,” Farosa said lightly.

She suddenly felt an urge to be friends with Lila, sensing that underneath her cool exterior, Lila’s confusion and pain were on par with her own.

Returning to the excavation site, this was Xu Yang’s third visit to the place.

Xu Yang and Lila conducted reconnaissance on the excavation site and found a large number of drones patrolling and filming around.

As the Corporate Alliance had awarded the Ancient Witch to the Lighthouse Core, the arrogant Lighthouse Core demanded that Kyoto Infinity no longer meddle with related incidents.

Not wanting to squabble with the folks from New Taixi State at this juncture, they temporarily yielded, only deploying numerous reconnaissance drones to survey the excavation site for reference in subsequent plans.

These drones moved in predictable patterns; Xu Yang hacked into two of the drone arrays, tampering with the data they captured and recorded to hide his own movements and then directed the Anonymous into the excavation site to recover Bax’s fragments.

The ability to bring the dead back to life is so mysterious and holds many future applications, the benefits are also huge.

Moreover, now that Farosa has regained her strength, such “miracles” are of no burden to her.

There’s also the body of Matteo Unit One!

The people of Kyoto Infinity didn’t even bother to recover it, given that it was blown to pieces.

But this thing is still useful, and Xu Yang tried to bring it back with the shuttle machine.

At that time, resurrect both Matteos, lock them in an iron cage that blocks external communication, and see which one is stronger.

After that, they quickly left, and the drones floated emptily, unable to capture any trace of Anonymous.

“This is…” Lila still didn’t understand who Bax was.

“The person we talked about reviving,” Xu Yang said, laying the shattered body of Bax on the ground.

“I thought you were just talking off the top of your head,” Farosa said curiously, “I didn’t expect you to be someone who actually does what they say.”

“It’s only been three days,” Xu Yang said, “It shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Law of Recovery.” Farosa released her magic power.

——A part of the world started to reverse.

Red light flickered, and Bax was brought back to the living world.

She wobbled a bit, quickly fell to the ground, and Xu Yang hurried to help her up.

“What—what?” Bax’s voice was hoarse, “What’s—where is this?

What happened to me—I…

Did I die?”

“You have been resurrected,” Xu Yang explained.

“That Witch we caught…

Ah…

This is our shuttle machine, where’s Matteo—?” Bax looked around in fear, “What actually happened to me?

Why?

Wasn’t I—I was supposed to be dead, right?”

“If you don’t keep quiet, I’ll kill you again,” Farosa lifted her hand.

Bax’s face was filled with fear, she shrank back like a startled animal.

The underground space around them was wide and rugged, Lila looked for a suitable location and drove the shuttle machine into a hidden large crevice on the side, turned off the engine, blocked signals, and returned to a silent state.

“More than three days have passed since your death,” Xu Yang said, “Bax…

they say that’s just your codename, what’s your real name?”

“I have no name, I don’t know,” Bax curled up in the seat, her hair falling down to cover her face.

She wanted to hide her thoughts.

No wonder, dying and then coming back to life is something most people would find hard to accept, and Xu Yang wasn’t sure if her mind and memory had been damaged to some extent.

Farosa claimed her magic had no side effects, but aside from the person who was revived, no one knew what it really felt like.

Perhaps the resurrected person still retained the memories from the time they were dead, they just didn’t want to recall them.

Bax had a streak of purple hair dye that was quite bright, but she didn’t cherish it, reaching up to pull at it as if she intended to pluck them all out.

The force of her pulling grow stronger, in an attempt to create pain to distract herself.

The tattoo of a bodhisattva on her right arm glowed slightly in the dark, probably made with fluorescent paint.

Now, it looked like a specter, no longer showing compassion but as if it had also traveled through the afterlife world with Bax herself.

“The…

others?” Bax couldn’t help but ask, “The others in the squad…

Matteo really…

could it be that…

”

“Matteo and the people from your squad are all dead in battle,” Xu Yang sighed.

“Then…” Bax lifted her head, “Can everyone else come back too?”

“I won’t resurrect people who don’t matter,” Farosa sneered, “Resurrecting you is only because we mentioned it a long time ago, and we haven’t forgotten.”

“We were just making a living,” Bax muttered, “We didn’t want to die, please…

since you can resurrect me you surely can bring everyone back.”

“Xu Yang said you are a Witch.” Farosa walked up to her, pulled her hands from her head, and lifted Bax’s hair, looking into her eyes, “What’s your magic power?”

“My magic power has been sealed,” Bax lifted her hand, oozing some ink from her palm.

“Ink spraying, are you an octopus?” Farosa mocked, “The Witch Xu Yang wanted me to save turned out to be an octopus.”

“…” Bax’s expression became dull.

“But I can enhance your power,” Farosa grabbed Bax’s shoulders, staring into her eyes, “Swear allegiance to me with your life, Little Squid, and then you will find that your power will be far more than these pathetic shades of ink, your magic power will surge from the ground, reborn anew, reaching the sky.”

“Power…” Bax trembled slightly, “Who…

who are you, exactly?”

“I used to be a wandering criminal, now I’m the ruler bringing a new order.

Think carefully about what you want to do with your second life,” Farosa slowly released her grip, “Think it through.”
