Chapter 120 - 120 103 Great Slaughter Law and Great Recovery Law

120: Chapter 103 Great Slaughter Law and Great Recovery Law 120: Chapter 103 Great Slaughter Law and Great Recovery Law Farosa’s mind was in turmoil, her thoughts tossed into a metaphorical blender, leaving her with nothing but fragmented pieces.

With great difficulty, she had devoured a god and obtained the most complete divine power, but now it sat stagnantly within her like congealed meat broth that had cooled, and was continuously slipping away, urgently in need of replenishment.

She pounced on Xu Yang, performing a good deed to divert her attention.

Xu Yang was intoxicated by Farosa’s body, while Farosa became increasingly composed, pondering alone after they had finished.

With her limited experience using divine power, she needed help.

But if she were to grovel for aid from the Ancient Mystics, her career as a witch would be over.

Better to figure it out on her own.

The divine power had become a stagnant pool, continually depleting, likely because it lacked a self-driving force.

In other words, since it was power plundered entirely from a deity, she couldn’t use it flexibly, so it would gradually settle and silence.

She must introduce a force entirely her own, no matter how small, to activate the divine power’s essence.

Farosa focused her will to drive the divine power.

It began to flow, albeit reluctantly, and the process was exceedingly rough.

She felt as if she was attempting to drag a mountain with her mind, scarcely able to move it.

Her own power…

Her own power…

Dewdrops.

She must acquire a piece of Dewdrops to absorb.

Dewdrops were the crystallization of faith, originating from the will of loyal and devout followers.

She knew a secret ritual could accomplish this process but it required gathering a certain number of acolytes.

She didn’t have enough followers on hand—just 101, 102, and Bax, three little witches.

To perform the ceremony, she needed at least seven witches in total.

Where could she find four more witches?

Farosa paced the room barefoot with hands behind her back, feigning seriousness while Xu Yang read books and newspapers to broaden his horizons.

The education provided by the company school was insufficient; after realizing the breadth of knowledge a witch like Selita had, Xu Yang was even more aware of the importance of cultural literacy.

“I have a ‘grand plan’,” Farosa suddenly jumped onto the bed, causing it to shake violently.

“What is it?

Tell me about it,” Xu Yang put aside his smart screen.

Farosa held Xu Yang tight and whispered in his ear, “I’ve changed a lot.

Before, I would never have talked about these plans and schemes in my heart to anyone, but now I suddenly feel I must tell you, because you are an extraordinary person to me.”

“Of course, I feel the same.

Farosa, you are the most important to me.”

“The most important?

More than anything else?”

“That’s a tough one.”

“Surely more important than Lila.”

“Are you still concerned about that?

Lila is watching, you know.”

Lila was sweeping the floor in the room and gave Farosa a glare.

“I want her to watch, to hear you admit it.” Farosa said mischievously, “I want to break her heart.”

“Stop fooling around,” Xu Yang kissed her.

“Now it’s my heart that is broken,” Farosa gently bit Xu Yang’s earlobe, “You’re a beast.”

“Beasts often live freely,” Xu Yang pushed Farosa down, “What about the plan you were talking about earlier, your grand plan, what is it exactly?”

“I want to rebuild the Witch Council, as I’ve said before.” Farosa stated, “You have to help me out, help me gather outstanding witches for me to train, and then I’ll hold a secret ritual.”

“What’s in it for me?”

“It will refine my powers,” Farosa explained.

“I was granted divine power by a god, but I still can’t use it freely.

I must reactivate it through the ritual.

The Law of Recovery is my magic power, and magic power can combine with divine power.”

“So you mean to harness the power of a god to drive your witch abilities.”

“Exactly, the combination of the two will result in an unprecedentedly powerful divine magic.

Invoking the ‘Law of Recovery’ with the might of a god will increase its potency by much.

Maybe it could even restore some things to the way they were!

That’s why you must help me gather more little witches; the ritual requires manpower.”

“A more powerful effect…

Like what?”

“In today’s world, what if something were restored to the past, drastically altering the global situation and inflicting severe damage on the company?”

“How far back do you estimate you could go?”

“Given the effectiveness of the Divine Power I can currently amplify with, it was about 3 centuries ago.

That is, with the ‘Great Recovery Law,’ its time limit is no longer 7 days but 300 years.”

“300 years… That was before the Witch Wars began, but in New Taixi State, many corporations had already landed.

Hmm… to restore something to that era… Can it be something abstract?

Like using the Great Recovery Law to twist ‘scientific and technological levels’ back to 300 years ago.”

“Perhaps,” Farosa thought for a moment, “but you would cease to exist!

The scope is too great, and you would be affected, too.

You have things that belong to this era, and once they are removed, you might be in mortal danger.”

“Then turn me back as well,” Xu Yang laughed, “to the state before death.”

“That won’t work either, bound as we are by oaths,” Farosa said, “If the Great Recovery Law were to result in your death, then it would have been impossible for me to use it in the first place, even if it might be possible to revive you afterward.”

“Oaths really are a complicated matter,” Xu Yang contemplated, “It’s difficult to define betrayal and harm.”

“If we encounter something particularly hard to judge, the Forest Master will intervene,” Farosa explained, “a being of such a realm, having lived through tens of thousands of years, views the world with great detachment and is able to make appropriate decisions.”

“I see,” Xu Yang mused deeply, “I think the thing companies rely on most now is technology.

It’s through technology they have developed the productive forces we see today, and certain productive forces uphold a particular social form.

So, as long as technology and productivity remain unchanged, the world will sooner or later transition to this state.

Therefore, if we cannot reverse technology with the Law of Recovery, no matter what else changes, the world will not see great change.”

“Ah… So the Great Slaughter Law and Great Recovery Law are of no great significance right now.” Farosa figured if the Great Slaughter Law were to be activated, all life within a radius of 5000 kilometers would evaporate, covering approximately 3 billion humans, instantly relieving Mother Earth by a third.

“300 years ago, there were many gnomes and fantastic creatures, right?

How about restoring all of them?”

“But they would only have the power to defend themselves, nothing impactful,” Farosa had no fondness for those gnomes and dwarves.

“True, even if we brought a giant dragon into this era, it would merely be bombed to death by fighter jets.”

“So the Great Recovery Law is useless?” Farosa just pondered casually, with no plan in mind.

Lila observed Farosa, aware of the most terrifying use of the “Great Recovery Law,” which was to restore “Magic Power” to what it was 3 centuries ago.

In the third corporate war, Reality Manipulator Eve Anak manipulated reality with her Magic Power, “all Witches lost their Magic Power.” Even though its effectiveness rapidly diminished over time, it still had a considerable impact.

According to corporate statistical reports, modern Witches’ Magic Power had deteriorated significantly in quality compared to the Ancient Witches, making it much easier to control, and nearly no Witch could achieve a breakthrough with their power alone.

The weakening of Witches’ power stemmed not only from the decline of deities but also from Eve’s curse.

That’s the principle behind the Anti-Witch Weapons, too: Witch Magic Power is so weak that by merely limiting their sensitivity to external magic power sources, they are rendered incapable of using Magic Power.

Therefore, if we set the target of the “Great Recovery Law” to “the spell once cast by Eve Anak,” reverting the still influential curse to a non-existent state hundreds of years ago, Witches would grow at a doubled pace, and their capacity to make autonomous breakthroughs would also be greatly enhanced.

In the past, although there was no divine assistance, and no new Empress was born, the Witch Council still had a plethora of Supreme Witches, whose abilities are beyond the reach of present-day Witches.

Thus, if we can lift the shackles Eve Anak placed on all Witches, they would again prosper, and the corporations would need to strengthen their current means of control a hundredfold to reassert their constraints.

However, Lila knew well that as soon as she revealed this information to Farosa, given her nature, she would not hesitate to invoke it, unleashing a bloody situation of newly emerging Witches and humans slaughtering each other worldwide.

This could not be allowed to happen.

Accordingly, once Farosa realizes the full potential of her Great Recovery Law, the world will undergo a drastic change.

For the time being, Farosa had made up her mind to expand her Witch Council, and the newly transformed Bax had become her new favorite.

Bax had said she wanted to make a significant change, and her new image did indeed surprise Xu Yang.

The so-called “Bax” belonged to the past, she cut her hair, washed it back to black, bought a new outfit, ditching her previous street-style tattered clothes, tidied up her jacket and trousers properly – all of which had a conventional cut, nothing out of place, just the season’s new releases.

At the same time, she solemnly told everyone she had fully embraced the name Mizuiro Yoshioka, asking them not to call her by the alias “Bax” anymore.

The once street mercenary, Hacker Witch Bax, had become history; the new Witch, Mizuiro Yoshioka, would devote herself entirely to Farosa.

Seeing the resolve in Mizuiro Yoshioka, Farosa was uncertain of what she would become, having previously thought her unsuitable, but this judgment now seemed premature – at the very least, she had the determination to change.

Since then, Farosa began to take Yoshioka’s education seriously, helping her to train the Ink Beasts.

As Xu Yang was planning to relocate, Guan Wancang showed up unexpectedly, lurking in the dark backdoor, discovered by Xu Yang through a camera.

“How did you find your way here?” Xu Yang immediately went to meet him, “You weren’t followed, were you?”

“Rat Paths are imperceptible to people,” Guan Wancang flicked his whiskers, “I located you by your scent.”

“The detoxification agent is ready,” Xu Yang knew he wouldn’t come over rashly.

“And not only that,” Guan Wancang stood up straight as Xu Yang invited him in, “the most fearsome team has come to hunt you down, I’m here to warn you to prepare.”
