Chapter 93 [The Lone Warrior's Journey to Annihilation]

[Trying to piece together the truth...]

[Integrating your acquired items, experiences, information, and related reasoning...]

[Piece together successfully!]

[■ means "witch"]

"Can't you say something that nobody knows..."

Mu Ming was slightly speechless. She had only been a magical girl for a short time when she heard the term "witch".

However, that was indeed an accident.

After all, the censorship of the word "witch" is still very strict in cities and online.

Those without magic cannot know this, but even those with magic, if their rank is not high enough, will have their memories erased, except for members of the Genjikai.

However, piecing together the truth about the "witch" isn't the main point; the main point is what follows: [???]

The system panel consists of three main modules, with the [? ? ?] module occupying the largest portion.

Mu Ming clicked the [?] button, and all the surrounding sounds dimmed, blurring everything in his vision. All he could see was the panel in front of him, and all he could hear was the suppressed pounding of his heart.

[You now have a full understanding of "witches". Congratulations on unlocking the "???" module.]

[Your magical power has reached the minimum requirement (1000 points) to master your innate ability.]

[Talent abilities will be unlocked]

So it really was here. No wonder it didn't work when I prayed to Jin Yu twice during the third stage and the flowering period.

Mu Ming's previously anxious heart was finally at ease, at least he wouldn't have to learn other people's abilities just because he couldn't awaken his own talent.

Immediately afterwards, colorful text appeared:

[Option 1] Utmost benevolence and goodness: It should be known that good deeds are difficult to perform, while evil deeds are easy to commit.]

[(Effect 1) Supreme Good: Unlocks the "Witch Slayer" pathway: The existing four modules will be further enhanced.]

[(Effect 2) Supreme and Powerful: After reaching the limit of full opening, it can still go further.]

"This..." Mu Ming looked at [Utmost Benevolence and Kindness] and didn't know what to say.

Its explanation is not intuitive at all, and it doesn't make it clear what the specific benefits are.

Especially the second effect, "Supreme and Powerful," is pure wishful thinking.

While late-game heroes should enjoy the feeling of being inferior in the early game, it seems that the pressure from the Witch is still very high. It's very likely that she will only be inferior in the early game and will not be able to reach the late game.

Furthermore, the scope of effect one is also limited; it's not purely powerful, but rather a special attack...

Although witches pose a great threat, the world should be threatened by more than just witches.

Only the existing module upgrades can attract him slightly.

No matter how you look at it, the concept of "utmost benevolence and goodness" is not to Mu Ming's liking.

Fortunately, this is only "Option 1," and there are other options.

With a thought, the originally vibrant writing disappeared, replaced by deep purple writing:

[It has been detected that unclean magic dominates the composition of magic within your body, and the activity of the "Witch Factor" exceeds the threshold, allowing the opening of additional pathways.]

"The witch factor has exceeded the activity threshold..."

Mu Ming's thoughts froze, exceeding the activity threshold... Wouldn't it cause her to be consumed by murderous intent and turn into a witch?

He didn't have any of these symptoms, not even signs of witch-like transformation, such as long nails or cracked face.

In the brief pause of his contemplation, the purple characters vanished, and grotesque, blood-red characters crawled out as if tearing through the air:

[Option Two] A World Destroyer: Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. How can one speak of great good without knowing the enormity of evil?

[(Effect 1) Witch: Mental energy will no longer limit the growth of factor activity; gains the basic abilities of a witch.]

[(Effect 2) Witch's Senses: When you kill a human, you can feel unparalleled joy and peace. Each time you experience this emotion, it will greatly enhance your magical power.]

[(Effect 3) Devouring Realm: The scope of "Devour" is expanded to all living things, and it is not limited by "Efficiency Bonus". The stronger the target being devoured, the more magic power is gained from the devouring.]

[(Effect 4) Abyss of Desire: Gain the favor of the star "Abyss of Desire," and ascend to the throne once the full unlock conditions are met.]

[(Effect 5) Absolute Evil: The existing modules "Code of Conduct," "Leader," "Guardian," and "Real Name Display" will be disabled.]

[(Effect 6) Simp: The Second Seat (Qianhuan) will protect and support your growth.]

[(Effect 7) Nemesis: Starts a new "countdown". If the magic power has not reached the corresponding level when the "countdown" ends, "Abyss of Desire" and "Simp" will become ineffective.]

Didi—

Before you know it, the bustling sounds of people and horns have returned to your ears.

The surrounding scenery gradually became clearer.

Mu Ming touched his neck; it was sweaty.

After becoming a magical girl, even without transforming, his physique improved considerably, and he rarely sweats anymore, except during battles.

It should be understood that good deeds are difficult to perform, while evil deeds are easy to commit.

The difference of just one option made Mu Ming intuitively understand the meaning of those words.

Not choosing the second option would be a disservice to his status as a power-hungry player.

The first option is vague, while the second option clearly states both the risks and benefits.

Moreover, the benefits seem far too obvious on the surface.

Not to mention the disloyal "lapdogs" of those who are fully open, there are also the stars who are directly promoted to full open.

It's impossible to know how to refuse someone who is constantly "devouring" you.

Let alone the single negative effect of "Nemesis," even if there were multiple negative effects, it wouldn't make much difference.

Besides, even if that unknown nemesis is powerful, as long as the new countdown isn't too difficult, it won't be a problem at all...

The only price is becoming a witch.

According to Xiao Hei, witches are not entirely irrational beings. Rather, their fundamental conflict with humans lies in one point: if they don't kill, they will become depressed to the point of suicide, and killing is as natural to them as breathing.

But compared to the benefits gained, what are these flaws of the witch?

People are diverse, some good, some bad, some deserving of a lifetime of happiness, and others deserving of death.

If Mu Ming were to become a witch, aside from her external "arch-enemies," the only thing she would need to worry about is the internal "decline."

For example, originally only the most heinous criminals were executed, then the standards were relaxed to include bad people, and then people with moral flaws.

However, if one's willpower is strong enough, can even such a weakness be overcome?

Mu Ming remembered that, according to the system's assessment, the activity of the factors in his body had exceeded the threshold.

But he didn't have the same urge to kill as Zhu Huan.

Perhaps... the witch factor doesn't affect me?

Mu Ming opened the [Body] interface, where a new [Factor Activity] interface had been added.

[Factor activity: 99.9%]

[Because over 90% of your magical power is derived from corrupted magic acquired through "devouring," you will transform into a witch when your "mental energy" falls below ten times your magical power.]

According to Xiao Hei, magical girls possess completely pure magic, while calamity beasts possess completely corrupt magic.

Witches combine the strengths of both, using half of their magic power to be corrupted and half to be pure.

Therefore, witches can become stronger through emotional fluctuations, and like calamity beasts, they can regenerate indefinitely as long as their core remains intact.

Mu Ming's mental energy did not have a specific value, but rather it was "overflowing," far exceeding the value required to suppress the witch factor.

Therefore, the problem of the witch factor is actually not a problem for him.

Unlike other magical girls, what prevents their magical power from increasing is the upper limit of their mental energy.

Therefore, it was destined that their mental energy would not be much stronger than magical energy.

"Should we change it or not...?"

Mu Ming wasn't too concerned about his identity. As the ancients said, "He who wields the body of an evil spirit performs the deeds of a bodhisattva." Power itself is neither good nor evil; good and evil depend only on the person who wields it.

However, even so, he dared not be too overconfident and underestimate the influence of the "witch's senses".

If that stuff is so potent that it's like marijuana, even more intoxicating than ice skating, then it falls into the realm of physiological mechanisms.

No matter how domesticated a tiger is, it can never live a vegetarian life.

Having endless wealth and a stunning body, but the price to pay is that you can only eat your thesis defense every day, or you'll commit suicide... That's a bit much.

Moreover, indiscriminate killing of innocent people is extremely inhumane, especially since he was raised by someone.

Whether the strength of the mind can overcome the desires of the body is something Mu Ming cannot predict.

According to Xiao Hei, basically all witches, even the highest-ranking perfect witches, are transformed from magical girls.

But no magical girl who transforms into a witch can resist the urge to kill.

"Sigh... let's wait a little longer."

Mu Ming sighed, not in a hurry to choose a route.

Although he has encountered several witches, those were all of the highest rank; he actually lacks impressions of ordinary witches...

Even if it is Qiluo, it is just a fake body. She doesn't have much killing intent towards ordinary people, but rather contempt for ants.

Although this did not stop her from killing...

Mu Ming didn't understand what the witches were like.

Therefore, he wanted to try it out first before making a conclusion, to see if he could adapt to the "witch's organ".

After all, compared to "perfect benevolence and goodness," "a solitary journey to destroy the world" is far more tempting.
