Release that Witch Chapter 1444 - The Riddles of the Consciousness

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Comparing her to Alice, Roland found it difficult to imagine that a Transcendent that emitted a cold and imposing aura would ever say such words.

“No... I believe you.” He waved his hand immediately. The current North Slope Mountain was connected to a huge industry district, so any sudden flight would be a recipe for disaster.

Eleanor replied somewhat regretfully. From her tone of speech, it sounded as though she was extremely regretful to be unable to reveal her abilities right away.

Roland gained some understanding with regards to her personality.

Her self-acknowledgment of not being a qualified leader did not mean she was ordinary. She had aspects that she prided herself with. Anyone that became a Transcendent was a lofty existence without exception.

“Right... when did you wake up?”

Roland cursed inwardly. “Then why didn’t you tell us?”

“Then why did you speak up in the end?”

The two rows of eyes at the top of her head rolled upwards in unison. The rolling of eyes at such a large scale was quite a magnificent sight.

Seeing Roland speechless, Eleanor casually changed the topic.

“Why is that?” He realized that he could hardly follow her train of thought.

Eleanor replied.

Roland realized the meaning behind her words. “Celine should have told you about the Witch Union; could it be that you didn’t believe her?’

Roland sighed. “That is because too many people treat witches as a different species, but in my eyes, they are just humans with slightly advantaged.”

“What you’re asking, should be Alice’s assertions, right?” Roland replied bluntly. “As long as humanity continues to exist, witches will definitely return to the peak.”

It was the first time Roland heard Eleanor exclaim in surprise.

“No, but that was what I saw in the Sigil of Recording,” Roland admitted. “In fact, Alice has been mistaken as well. As long as the word ‘witch’ is switched to ‘human’, wouldn’t this sentence be normal and expected? If outstanding individuals are prevented from leading the civilization, the civilization is doomed to have no future. At the same time, if the leader at the peak no longer strives for the benefit of the people, the civilization will not last as well.”

In some sense, random awakenings, the inability to have children, and magic power could be considered a special ability, and should have never been a rift between the talented and the ordinary. The most dangerous aspect was artificial selection and designated inheritance, which prevented the misgivings between witches and ordinary people to cease.

Eleanor looked at him in a bid to figure out his true thoughts. But after a moment, she gave up.

“We will be executing a large scale remodeling of North Slope Mountain to be a suitable flying stronghold.” This was another reason Roland did not allow Eleanor to lift the floating island right away. Regardless of attacking the new Deity of Gods or moving to the Bottomless Land, they had to amass a substantial amount of supplies. Upon leaving Neverwinter, it would be difficult to have resupplies. “Can you estimate the volume of the floating island?”

Eleanor blinked her eyes and nodded.

“How do the Red Mist Towers grow?”

“Then...” Roland hesitated for a moment. “Are you able to create Red Mist?”

This question caused Eleanor to sigh.

“You mean to say—” Roland was surprised.

Roland was dumbstruck. Although he knew that the demons did not need to mate, he never thought that they would reproduce in such a manner.

‘In other words, It is possible for me to become the King of Demons as well—Isn’t it ironic, one of the Three Chiefs will be a demon producer one day.’ Eleanor then glared at him. ‘You have to remember everything you said, don’t make me stay here for too long.’

Roland thought to himself helplessly. But what was on his mind went deeper—through the shift of consciousness, Eleanor had practically obtained all the information stored within the Mother of Soul, and just like learning, she could, in a sense, obtain the legacies. It was inevitable that the different legacies from the different races would end up mixed and evolved was inevitable. But why would God be superfluous and use the Battle of Divine Will and legacy shards, for the races to kill each other to push for it to happen?

Secondly, what mattered was consciousness itself.

It was a clear cut distinction in the world where technology was still primitive. Access and a shift of consciousness was simple, as though there was no technique or skill involved. If God were the only one that had the ability to do so, Roland would had let it slide. But why were the underground civilization, demons, and humans capable of it as well?

In his previous world, simulating perception remained a concept and only existed in television shows.

He had a vague feeling that the two might be related.
