Otaku Witch
Chapter 905 - 905: 567. Memory in the Sword_2

Moreover, it's not just your personal choices, even the choices of the world can give birth to different parallel worlds.

For example, in the same world, one might always follow the technological path, eventually leading to the mechanical ascension of all people. However, there is also the possibility of a sudden spiritual awakening, diverting from the technological route to the cultivation path, making these two worlds parallel worlds to one another.

And in these two parallel worlds, there might be two completely different versions of you, such as Dorothy the mechanical pioneer and Dorothy the cultivation novice. These two Dorothys can be called alternate aspects.

Similarly, based on this theory of parallel worlds and alternate aspects, in the space-time series and fate system, there is a unique cultivation method which involves consuming alternate aspects to become stronger.

After all, a very important characteristic of omniscient and omnipotent deities is their uniqueness across all realms. Such great beings do not possess alternate aspects, or rather, all alternate aspects are her, with a shared consciousness among them.

In plain terms, once such a being becomes a Saint and gets deified, all she in every fate branch, every space-time node is her, directly knowing everything across all realms, past and future.

Even if you travel through space-time to the point of a great being's birth, the infant would still be a Saint, possibly holding a milk bottle in one hand while crushing you with the other, then continuing to lie down to drink milk.

Gods are unique across all realms, so when someone becomes unique across all realms, can she be regarded as a deity?

Sophia once tried this special cultivation method, and her incarnation, Ruthfiel, came from it. Her destiny branch merged with Ruthfiel's, bringing the two branches back as one.

This means Sophia can directly acquire all the strength and experience from Ruthfiel's branch, though this strength and experience do not flood her all at once but gradually with time, thus the sixteen-year-old Sophia will synchronize with the sixteen-year-old Ruthfiel in terms of strength and experience.

However, what puzzles the Pure White Witch is that in Ruthfiel's branch, her own young miss does not appear, which seemingly defies logic. Even if Ruthfiel is on the path to returning to heaven as an Angel, given the young miss's talents, it's hard to imagine her remaining obscure for life.

In theory, as long as the young miss is given some time to grow, her fame would eventually reach a degree that would be known even in heaven. Yet Ruthfiel, until being inexplicably killed by an indiscriminate attack fifty years later, had never heard of any remarkable witch named Dorothy.

This even led Sophia to somewhat suspect whether her young miss doesn't have an alternate aspect, but she quickly dismissed this thought, as that's impossible. Not having an alternate aspect means being unique across all realms, a privilege only for omniscient and omnipotent deities. Although her young miss is indeed almost monstrously talented, she shouldn't be extraordinary to that extent.

Back to the point, the memories transferred from the Holy Sword of the God King are somewhat similar to the relationship between Sophia and Ruthfiel. Essentially, they are the same person, yet they live entirely different lives.

At one year old, you were born as an illegitimate child. Your mother was just an ordinary woman from the Lower City Zone of the Holy City, but your father seemed to have some status.

At two years old, your extraordinary intelligence set you apart from others. You were very early able to speak and write, with talents and maturity beyond your age, which surprised your mother, making her believe you are a genius.

At three years old, your mysterious father heard about your genius and uniqueness, took time to meet you, and you immediately recognized his identity, as he was indeed a public figure, whose face frequently appeared in newspapers (Magic Network). He was the current Pope of the Glory Sect.

At four years old, your Pope father gave your mother some resources to nurture your talent. You worked hard and always performed excellently, quickly exhausting all the teachers who taught you.

At five, indulged in learning....

At six, indulged in learning....

......

At nine, there was no teacher left in the Holy City able to teach you. At the mere age of nine, you were actually the most knowledgeable mortal in this Holy City, prompting you to independently ponder the meaning of life, such as why you were just an illegitimate child, why you had to always act secretly due to your background, why your mother and father, despite true love, couldn't live together.

........

Sophia roughly organized these two life memories and found that before the age of nine, they were almost the same, except for a discrepancy in world background.

The era background of the first life still contained the relatively primitive medieval feudal era, but the second life jumped to a technologically advanced sci-fi era.

And the era background of the second life made the Pure White Witch frown even more deeply because everything in this background was too familiar to her; that Holy City was precisely the place she ruled during the Witch's Night, the capital of the Glorious Divine Kingdom.

Similarly, she also had a guess about the identity of the person whose memories these belonged to.

This was the memory of her "good disciple" Noah.

Now, she knew everything about Noah in the second life memory, so the Pure White Angel focused more on the first memory she did not participate in.

At ten years old, your Pope father died, leaving you and your mother without his protection and unable to hide anymore. The Church's power found you, and you were forced into the Church's power struggle. Your mother died protecting you, and although knowledgeable, being young you could barely protect yourself, temporarily hiding in a trash heap until a passing presence noticed you...

Sophia palpitated mentally because in the Witch's Night, it was she who picked Noah up. Thus, in the original timeline without her participation, how did Noah escape danger?

The Pure White Angel was very curious, and then a face appeared in the memory which seemed very familiar yet somewhat different.

"Teacher?"

Looking at the nun in the memory who approached the trash heap with an umbrella, Sophia was confused, seeing that this nun looked exactly like her teacher, Euphilia.

Only, unlike her formidable and majestic teacher, this Miss Nun had a gentle and elegant demeanor like the moon.

But then, was there such a nun in the Glory Sect?

The Pure White Witch was somewhat puzzled and very regretful, possibly thinking she shouldn't have isolated herself so much during the Witch's Night. Otherwise, she would have definitely interacted more with this Miss Nun, curious whether she is really related to her teacher who looked exactly the same.

However, the Witch's Night has ended now, so regretting won't help her anymore. She could only continue to endure the regret and examine Noah's memories.

...

At sixteen years old, in just six years, you became the new Pope of the Glory Sect. This huge power was now mostly in your hands, making you the most powerful mortal in this world. Yet, you were still a mortal, and above you were the great deity Lord of Glory and His many Divine Envoys.

In front of others, you were the Pope, but before Gods and Divine Envoys, you were as humble as an ant. Moreover, you learned from your adoptive mother, Nun Eve, who saved you back then and was also the last true deity in this world, that the so-called Lord of Glory and His Emissaries of the Gods were not great deities at all but invaders from another world.

You decided to plan with your adoptive mother on how to overthrow the Church, drive away the Lord of Glory, and save the world.

......

In this memory fragment, a gentle nun was helping a white-haired, golden-eyed maiden with her grooming, while the maiden gazed at the reflection in the dressing table mirror.

Outside the memory fragment, Sophia was similarly observing this grown maiden.

Compared with the Noah in the Witch's Night who, due to cybernetic modification, permanently maintained a loli form and could no longer grow up, this Noah retained her flesh and naturally matured.

Only, as Sophia looked at the mirror in front of youthful Noah, it was as if she herself was looking into a mirror.

Because, the face in the mirror with white hair and golden eyes was so familiar, familiar to the extent that she sees this face in the mirror every day.

It was her own face.

...Sophia is silent...
