Chapter 748: Chapter 622: The Banquet Concludes Successfully

In the ritual site, the Seven Witches summoned Lady Farosa.

"The most esteemed Lady Farosa... reveal your true form before us," Mizuiro Yoshioka, cloaked in a black witch’s cape, raised her arms high, guiding her magic power through the vortex of magic power above them.

They were performing the ritual at Nestor Headquarters, and at this moment, all were entirely focused on the great vortex before them.

It swelled in size continuously, with a brilliance flashing in its center, much like a nebula.

Directly below the vortex lay the severed right arm of the Great River Goddess, her golden blood congealed at the cut. They believed only the scent of the flesh of the Great River Goddess could awaken Lady Farosa from her increasingly deep meditation.

The magic power vortex required to awaken Farosa was so powerful that it pulled Lady Farosa’s formidable power into the mortal world, like a black hole dragging and devouring all other celestial bodies. During the process of Farosa’s return, the powers of other witches were also attracted to and eliminated by the vortex.

As a result, all witches in the city, including those from Nestor Corporation, had received prior notice that due to the influence of a powerful witch, they would all be unable to use their magic power today.

As the ritual progressed, other witches now also became distinctly aware of the existence of the magic power vortex.

Regardless of whether they served Nestor Corporation, witches within the Shangjing area found themselves unconsciously looking toward Nestor Headquarters.

They felt the magic power inside them become restless and agitated; while normally flowing smoothly like water, it now throbbed violently like a thousand enraged beasts, eager to break free from their shackles and leave their fragile bodies to serve the true Witch Goddess. They had to suppress the magic power within them with all their might lest it be completely drained.

"What’s going on?"

"How... how powerful a witch must this be..."

"My magic power is being drained..."

"Is a new Dominator born? A new Supreme Witch?"

"How frightening..." the witches in the city discussed the spectacular event amongst themselves.

Nestor Corporation did not avoid suspicion; Lila issued a public announcement directly to the citizens and all other companies’ observation organizations, declaring that Nestor Corporation was conducting a ritual to welcome an "extremely powerful witch."

Witches at the offices of other major corporations in Shangjing also felt a strong pull, their magic power within turning scorching hot.

Due to the corporate chip, pharmaceutical control, and programmed thought training, they had nothing but unconditional loyalty and love for their respective companies, yet even so, they couldn’t help but cast their eyes toward the direction of the magic power vortex.

Its presence brought a certain psychological suggestion, causing them to weave wonderful fantasies in their hearts, making dreams of witch freedom and happiness suddenly seem all the more real.

"This level of magic power... it’s beyond any means of measurement now."

"Just like the very strong magical fluctuations detected many years ago in the Northern Archipelago..."

"The Corporate Alliance was right—they’d detected it long before, but..." Corporate observers were astonished and sent reports up the chain.

Most were terrified by this reality, as supreme witches, even stronger than supreme, have been extinct in history since the Witch Wars, but today, that record was broken.

A witch with enough power to rule the world... was coming.

Under normal circumstances, if a company completed such an extraordinary feat, most of the world’s companies would call for a corporate war to sanction it.

But what if the company was Nestor Corporation?

Who would dare to go against the tide at such a time...

Under the dual pressures of economic crisis and meteorological disasters, they lacked the capacity to react, forced to watch a giant supernatural threat unfold before them.

Unlike the fear and trepidation felt in the beginning, more company people now felt numb upon hearing such news, compelled to give way to a supreme force far beyond human comprehension due to the clear change in circumstances.

Inside Nestor Headquarters, the ritual continued.

Mizuiro Yoshioka began to sense that something was amiss.

"It’s been so long... Lady Farosa does not respond? It seems she hasn’t awakened," Mizuiro Yoshioka tried to perceive Lady Farosa’s presence, but all she could see were the ever-changing nebular illusions.

"Could it be that even the arm of the Great River Goddess is not enough to awaken Lady Farosa?" Pan Ruiyi exclaimed.

"...She has smelled the scent, but something is still missing..." Du Qianqian looked up.

"Missing what?" 102 raised her hands high, tiptoeing repeatedly in an attempt to see through to the truth within the depths of the magic power vortex.

"Quick, go get Uncle Xu!" Shallow Dream’s eyes lit up, suddenly understanding what was missing.

brought Xu Yang, who was fishing on the docks, back to Nestor Headquarters.

He passed through the doorway and came to the center of the ritual site, where an invisible gale howled, the powerful storm of magic power almost forming a vortex of blades with tangible lethality.

thought Xu Yang would be injured, but as he approached, the turbulent currents of powerful energy consciously weakened, replaced by numerous points of light, like a meteor shower.

"Lady Farosa is about to wake up, run!" 102 turned and ran.

The other witches cast encouraging or suggestive glances at Xu Yang, then chose to hastily leave as well.

Xu Yang looked down at the gigantic demigod arm. Before he could consider his first action, Lady Farosa’s voice rang out in the ritual site.

"...What a fragrant smell..."

Lady Farosa opened her eyes.

"Everyone found you some food," Xu Yang said.

"...Why did they assume I’d like such a thing? Do they really think of me as a monster that devours everything?"

"If you don’t eat, I’ll just have to send it to the museum," Xu Yang moved towards the severed arm of the Great River Goddess.

"I must clarify something—I rarely get the chance to have a good appetite, and it merely succeeded in whetting my appetite, that’s all."

The arm of Farosa descended from the vortex, her body’s other parts enshrouded in a nebula-like cyclone, allowing Xu Yang only to see her arm.

Immediately after, Farosa’s delicate and slender hand effortlessly picked up the long arm of the Great River Goddess from the ground, slowly dragging it up into her own Divine Realm.

"May I watch you eat?" Xu Yang looked up.

"You may watch a part..."

Farosa, who consumed divinity, now displayed her respectable appetite.

With a series of piercing gnawing and chewing sounds, Xu Yang saw the dark gold rain of blood pouring down from the nebula vortex!

The entire arm once belonging to the Great River Goddess was being crushed and torn apart by Farosa.

"You once consumed your god," Xu Yang thought of the shrine at Suzuki Springs.

"I ate it, after I killed it, it left behind a colossal rotten carcass. I gouged out its eyes, plucked its tentacles, I crawled into its hollow skull, and I devoured its brain matter like a miner digging out easily accessible gold. That was the earliest source of my power."

Under the influence of Farosa’s god-consuming efficacy, the surrounding space seemed to turn into massive hunks of flesh, tempting Xu Yang also to open his wide mouth and bite off a piece of air.

He tried to walk around, but the air indeed became viscous.

Xu Yang felt like he was walking through a great mass of flesh, wherever he went, the soft meat pushed apart, the fragrance of flesh filled his senses, and he thought of a wonderful feast in his mind.

All he wanted was to eat lavishly and join the banquet.

Subsequently, this potent influence was deconstructed under the processing of Xu Yang’s Digital Mind.

Like breaking down a huge rock into microscopic basic particles, Xu Yang turned the illusion into light and shadow, his own cravings into fragments in the flow of consciousness, thereby weakening this overwhelming interference that ordinary people couldn’t handle.

He observed everything around him like a robot, constantly breaking them down from the basic level and understanding them.

Meanwhile, Farosa, like a giant grinding machine, continued to crush and swallow the whole arm of the Great River Goddess, the golden rain of blood falling from the vortex grew thicker and more pungent, and it seemed Farosa tore it all apart.

The limb of the Great River Goddess was laid out on the dining table, she was the sole guest in this grand banquet, from which Farosa gained infinite memories and knowledge, only the wisdom of a god would suffice to digest these billions of years of endless information.

"Secrets from past to present have never been more clear," the voice emanating from the vortex grew louder, representing the awakening will of Farosa.

The blood that had pooled on the ground was drawn into the nebula, even the blood becoming a reserve of nourishment for her.

The vast stores of knowledge and secrets from the memory of the Great River Goddess were now Farosa’s to savor.

After devouring the limb of a god, the magic vortex shrank inward, Farosa’s form descended, leaving the sheltering Star River Domain.

The Witch Goddess Farosa floated down from the heights into the mortal world, unclothed, her body shimmering with bright Phantom Light, her stunning beauty and grace reappeared in the world.

"...It’s been too long..." Xu Yang approached Farosa as she leaned and collapsed into his arms, her body now hot and soft to the embrace.

There was still golden blood on her lips.

"Lick the leftover blood from my lips, and you will share these endless memories with me, indulging in the joys and sorrows of millions throughout the river of history, their witnessed events woven into the secrets of half the world..." Farosa’s voice sounded particularly pleasing, her mere voice now capable of dazzling the mind.

Xu Yang kissed the blood from her lips, memories rushing into his brain.

In his Digital Mind, he gained millions of memory files waiting to be unpacked, Xu Yang receiving this plethora of knowledge, and then he felt himself sinking, the space around changing, as Farosa pulled him into the golden river of memories.

"There are countless fragments here..." Farosa spread her arms wide, embracing Xu Yang like a goddess her warrior, allowing him to lie upon her, "...enough for us to wander for a long time, we are together again. The world is ours. Let me take you somewhere, to the precious places among these memories."

Farosa led Xu Yang down into a memory, a mere droplet in the river, carrying the memories of a wise creature.

Xu Yang saw next to a great river, a monkey with a flower in its hand, showing affection to another monkey.

Farosa led Xu Yang into the memory scene, ground it to foam, and then she stood on the dry and hot riverbank, joyfully wrapping her arms around Xu Yang, kissing his cheek.

"Now we truly are the foremost couple between heaven and earth," she said.

"It’s just a memory."

"You’re such a killjoy."

"Always so... must be..." Xu Yang lifted Farosa in his arms.

"You don’t understand, memories are precious, too. Now I know many secrets and will no longer be blinded," a wry smile hung on Farosa’s face.

"What do you plan to do with so many memories?"

"I’m going to build a Witch Academy to manage all the witches. Oh, Xu Yang, you have done so much already, now it’s my turn."
