The witch thought I am a Demon God
Chapter 843 - 442 The Emperor and the Pope

Chapter 843: Chapter 442 The Emperor and the Pope

Ivita fell into deep thought, for if the rank of a high-class witch was not sufficient, even if the King of the Ancient Tomb, who could barely be considered at the Witch Marquis Level, was not enough, she would have to seek out a more powerful Witch Marquis to aid her.

But where to find one right away?

Even though she now had three countries under her command, collaborating with a Witch Marquis still required caution. Some Witch Marquises, in their quest for magical materials, might deceive nations and wreak havoc on society.

Moreover, there was no proof that a Witch Marquis could defeat the inner incarnation that challenged her.

"I overlooked a problem before," Ivita said. "The intensity of my magic now far surpasses any ordinary great wizard."

"This was supposed to be an advantage, but it has instead made my inner incarnation very powerful."

The Hearthstone Witch said, "This shows that Your Majesty’s inner self is also very stable, not easily shaken. Once you conquer your inner incarnation, you can obtain very powerful magical materials."

Ivita’s face darkened. "A great battle looms, where do I find three Witch Marquises to cooperate with me, and even if I do find them, they might not necessarily be able to assist me."

"Instead, securing the ancestral spirit in Alsace’s royal tomb seems feasible."

The King of the Ancient Tomb suddenly said in a low voice, "Actually, there’s a place that might help you."

Ivita looked at him doubtfully.

The King of the Ancient Tomb said, "The Tomb of the Gods!"

"I possess an ancient ritual magic that can help you enter the depths of the Star Realm, where you can meet the eternal gods resting in the tomb. The Tomb of the Gods houses numerous mighty spirits who are merely struggling to return to this world."

"Finding three such powerful divine beings willing to assist you there is not difficult," he stated.

Ivita narrowed her eyes at him.

Before the divine radiance of the God of All Things fell upon the Magic Black Forest, many heterodox spirits were present, but they were driven out by the cooperation between the God of All Things and the Witch Kings.

This history was not concealed by the Church; rather, it was widely publicized.

Therefore, the Tomb of the Gods indeed houses a multitude of spirits desiring to return to the Magic Black Forest.

Ivita said, "King of the Ancient Tomb, you must know how dangerous it is to venture deep into the Star Realm, don’t you?"

The King of the Ancient Tomb said quietly, "I know. But I am merely offering a suggestion. Right now, you are the one I’m betting on; I’m only trying to assist you."

"If you don’t trust me, then you can take my heart with you into the Star Realm. If anything feels wrong, you can destroy my heart."

Ivita did not speak, but instead pondered.

The Sect Hierarch of the Sun God Sect said to Ivita, "Actually..."

She had the least presence among the four of them.

"Actually, my lord, it is possible for you to enter the depths of the Star Realm. You once entered a subspace world that was as dangerous as the depths of the Star Realm," the Sect Hierarch of the Sun God Sect said to Ivita. "Previously, the Three-headed Black Sheep and you, under the guidance of a ritual, entered the body of your middle-aged noble incarnation. Because the Three-headed Black Sheep were exiled into the subspace, you actually had a brief contact with it."

"Surprisingly, it seems the subspace did not affect you."

"Generally speaking, any being that has been in contact with the subspace tends to be not quite right in the head. Oh, I’m not saying that about you; I’m just describing your strength."

The Hearthstone Witch also reminded Ivita, "Previously, when you were in the Black Sea, you exiled the Sea Goddess into the depths of the Star Realm. At that time, your soul was tainted by the aura of the Tomb of the Gods, yet nothing happened to you."

"This is because a god, as long as it does not decay, will not be summoned by the Tomb of the Gods."

Ivita rolled her eyes.

The Hearthstone Witch was discussing her as if she were a god.

The Hearthstone Witch reminded Ivita, "Moreover, you once directly entered the depths of the Star Realm, using the Three Sisters Grass. I noticed that for a while, you truly used your soul to enter the depths of the Star Realm’s Tomb of the Gods, then returned on your own."

The King of the Ancient Tomb and the Sect Hierarch of the Sun God Sect looked at the Hearthstone Witch and Ivita in surprise.

The King of the Ancient Tomb said, "Given that, you really could give it a try."

Ivita thought for a moment. "How many days will your ritual to enter the Star Realm take?"

The King of the Ancient Tomb replied, "About three days."

Ivita nodded. "Then I can go make some arrangements."

The King of the Ancient Tomb curiously asked, "What do you need to arrange?"

Ivita said to him, "I have many things to arrange, but primarily, I need someone to retrieve the spirits of past ancestors. I’m going to visit the Brotherhood, where others used to hire them to harm me. Today, I finally get to spend lavishly myself."

"However, I can’t rely solely on them since this organization has never really accomplished anything."

"I also need to make a trip to the Epirus Witch Republic. I need to purchase life-saving magical items from them so that I can enter the depths of the Star Realm."

The Hearthstone Witch and the King of the Ancient Tomb noticed that Ivita was becoming increasingly methodical in her actions.

...

In the evening, Ivita first went to the Brotherhood’s headquarters in Ambros to issue the task of stealing tomb soil from Alsace’s burial grounds.

Then, he found Kristin, who resided within the city.

The house where Kristin lived was very simple. Besides some furniture, it hardly had any decorations.
