Otaku Witch
Chapter 837 - 837: 541. Special attack vs. special attack

"Oh my good sister, are you sure you didn't mix up these two pieces of news?"

Dorothy widened her eyes, looked at Denisha in front of her with some horror, and then asked hesitantly.

What a joke, how can we fight like this? This feels just like a Brave finding his long-lost dad after a lifetime search, only to discover that the Devil King sitting on the throne in the deepest part of the Demon King's Castle is his own father?

The homebody witch couldn't help but feel powerless to make a retort for a moment.

What kind of third-rate author wrote this clichéd plot? These days, this kind of storyline is outdated, isn't it? If today's protagonist really had a Devil King father, they might just abandon their Brave identity and defect to the opposite side to become a second-generation demon.

Readers nowadays love those kinds of stories, you failure.

However, Dorothy pondered meticulously for a moment and suddenly had an epiphany.

Maybe there's a possibility that I'm not the protagonist, just a supporting role, and Sophia is the real protagonist?

If you think about it like this, everything suddenly makes sense.

Of course, the matter of "whether I can bring myself to kill the final boss after discovering that it's the Mother of the World" can be put aside for now. After all, even if we ignore the ethical issue of mother-daughter mutual killing, purely from the perspective of strength and status, they're really in big trouble.

Previously, she estimated Leviathan's strength to be equivalent to a Director of Studies. Now, the estimate remains the same, but it's a Director of Studies with multiple special attack buffs.

Damn, special attacks overpower everything!

As the cradle that nurtures all life, the world naturally possesses the divinity of both the creator and the Earth Mother Goddess. Dorothy has experienced these two divinities since her Moon Goddess Incarnation now holds these positions in the Moon Rabbit World.

Therefore, no one understands the terror of these special attacks better than her.

To put it plainly, as the creator, you created everything, so naturally, you know how to destroy it. A powerful creator can bring everything to life with a thought and annihilate the world with another. This is almost a limited and weakened version of omnipotence and omniscience.

Moreover, Dorothy and others, as beings nurtured by the world, happen to be within the coverage range of these divinities. So, this renders any resistance useless. As long as the opponent has a thought, everyone must first suffer the highest level instant death.

Although the divinity of the Earth Mother Goddess isn't as terrifying as that of the creator, it's still very scary. She is the mother of all beings, and all creatures must respect her as their mother. She naturally enjoys the dignity and rights a mother should have.

This dignity? Think about how you feel when you go home to face your mom's glare after making a mistake.

It's a kind of natural suppression that's much scarier than bloodline suppression, far stronger than any domineering aura or Dragon's Might.

When the world is angry, it's an overwhelming divine wrath, and all life must bow down.

And the rights of a mother are even scarier. Although modern perspectives hold that humans are born free and personalities should be equal, this concept belongs to human norms, a set of guidelines created by humans themselves.

But you can't demand the world to adhere to human norms. To the world, it follows not human ethics but the natural laws.

And the natural laws are ruthless.

Under these laws, there's no talk of human rights or emotions. The ownership of creations naturally belongs to the creator, and the ownership of children naturally belongs to their nurturing mother.

Essentially, children are just private property of their mother. She cares for you, and that's when you can be considered a person. If she stops treating you as a person, you are merely private property, no different from furniture in your house.

Therefore, when these rights morph into divine authority, it becomes absolute control. The Earth Mother Goddess enjoys total control over her children, similar to how you can dispose of your household furnishings as you please.

This is far stronger than any slave contract or puppet control. If the Earth Mother Goddess wishes, she can even reshape your mind, compelling you to change fundamentally and become a completely new person.

If Leviathan indeed possesses this unique divine authority of the world's consciousness, then Dorothy truly feels that this battle is unwinnable. It would be better to surrender immediately.

Fortunately, it's not as bad as she imagined.

Seeing her sister suddenly lose interest in playing, Denisha lightly chuckled and comforted her.

"It's actually not as bad as you think. While it's true that Leviathan is Mother Superior, the world's consciousness is not Leviathan."

"Leviathan is the embodiment of Mother Superior's resentment and Death Qi, symbolizing the world's corruption. Therefore, she is naturally out of favor, and the authorities of both the creator and the Earth Mother Goddess have been weakened and degraded."

"The creator's authority has been weakened the most. She can now only influence certain natural resources, and these must be purely natural; anything processed by humans won't be affected. However, her identity still remains, which gives her powerful resistance to all attributes. Attacks containing natural elements will have significantly reduced effects on her."

Miss Shepherdess explained in this way.

Upon hearing this, Dorothy finally let out a sigh of relief.

She was genuinely scared a moment ago. If it's just to the extent Denisha described now, although still troubling, it's not enough to cause despair.
