387: Chapter 348 Seven Witches Ritual 387: Chapter 348 Seven Witches Ritual At least Yanagawa Fumihiko would always stand by her side.
Honma Noriko pressed her forehead.
With a brand-new body and transformation technology, her life was so resilient and powerful.
Once her private high-level key was confird, the machine soldiers in the surrounding village would begin to act, resolving the problems within this small area, but more enemies were still out there.
Honma Noriko walked towards the village, where mostly controlled robots were directly involved in combat, and many people were scared out of their wits upon seeing her.
The sharpest of her descendants had already left to prepare plans, to spread rumors.
“I also want to undergo Ascension Surgery,” Honma Noriko said as she walked into the village and saw Nilu coming to greet her, “Most of the surgeries were first experinted on Witches, and they have beco very mature.”
“Welco to the world of Witches,” Nilu extended her hand, “This is a nice place.
Even Lila Nestor, whom I defeated by my own hands, has been regenerated nearby in good condition.”
“We will help you settle this score,” Honma Noriko said, turning to Yanagawa Fumihiko, “Now go see Kanako; she is the one who mainly recomnded this ‘surgery’ to .
”
Regeneration Magic Power was actually of no use.
What mattered most was that Honma Noriko now had a healthy body capable of modification.
She wished to imdiately upload her consciousness, enter her throne, head to the digital system, where she would live forever, leaving behind countless backups and copies, living in the Information Space, henceforth her thoughts would be communicated, her life infinite.
Yanagawa Fumihiko went to save Kanako.
“What have you done?” Yanagawa Fumihiko asked.
“I don’t know,” Kanako shook her head, “I only know that a battle is coming, and I’m on mom’s side.”
Initially, Kanako had been watching the people coming and going from the balcony; even then, she knew everything would turn out like this.
The other children didn’t bring ard Shuttle Machines because they never ca to Zhonggui Town.
Kurokawa Kana, an impostor.
Kamibayashi Hii, an impostor.
Yuan Chaozong, an impostor.
Aoyagi Jiro, an impostor.
Honma Shaojun, an impostor.
The first four individuals separately controlled Xisheng Investnt, Xisheng Real Estate, Xisheng Defense, Xisheng Industrial, while Honma Shaojun was the most suitable puppet to be supported.
It’s so ridiculous, they even asked themselves how they felt about all their children being present in person today.
Kanako sighed inwardly.
They really underestimated Little Kanako.
The children were bound to rebel; it just so happened to be prematurely coincidental, probably influenced by Farosa.
Now, the remaining nieces and nephews who controlled Xisheng dical, Xisheng Research and Developnt, Xisheng Transportation…
would make swift choices, joining one side of the internal conflict.
Kanako slowly reflected that everything had a reason.
The rebellion was a long-planned event.
Since the age of 105, Honma Noriko’s physical limitations had kept her from personally intervening in affairs, and in fact, most of the company’s operations were carried out by the children of Xisheng.
After 30 years of operation, they had hollowed out Xisheng and secretly transferred assets overseas, waiting for a mont when Honma Noriko would fall.
Honma Noriko’s retreat to Xisheng Shrine for so many years had gradually weakened her influence.
Those in high positions seek stability, so they preferred to wait for Honma Noriko to die naturally.
But then the Witch Transformation Ceremony appeared, leading Honma Noriko toward Eternal Life, driving them further into despair.
It was also an opportunity.
This place was Zhonggui Town, a godforsaken wilderness, hundreds of miles from Shangjing.
Honma Noriko left the headquarters for such a rundown place, which made it difficult to return.
They could mobilize troops to besiege her, block her path back to her stronghold in Shangjing, cut off her connections with allies, and while she was away from Shangjing, they could madly purge the remaining loyalists.
Had they not lacked courage, they would probably have taken action as soon as Honma Noriko set out.
If Honma Noriko had remained holed up in the Divine Palace of Xisheng, they would have had no way to commit the deed.
Now that she had co out into the open from the absolute safety of the Xisheng Shrine, the situation was no longer under Honma Noriko’s control.
The internal conflict of Xisheng had officially begun.
Right now, they must be consolidating power, quickly confirming changes in stock ownership and company ownership, establishing a Temporary Committee, and drawing clear lines of division, pulling away the core strength of Xisheng.
Clearly, whether Honma Noriko was dead or alive, they would raise the banner of rebellion and would never allow their mother to truly establish an eternal Empire.
This was the only chance for the conniving children to unite—if not for fear of their mother’s eternal rule, how could they set aside their prejudices and unite the front?
Therefore, in Kanako’s heart, there was only endless panic and confusion, willing to follow Farosa’s plan, because she knew this sche was too big.
She followed Farosa’s intention, playing the fool, and was smoothly thrown into prison.
Kanako wasn’t in the position of a chess player, she couldn’t afford the ga.
Everyone was setting traps while falling into the traps of others; no one truly won, and that was the complexity.
Honma Noriko won in successfully transforming into a Witch, achieving Eternal Life; but she lost in not keeping Xisheng intact, being forced to personally address her shattered family.
For the mont, she was also trapped in Zhonggui Town without a safe way to return to her old stronghold in Shangjing.
The children of Xisheng won in finding the perfect mont to start the conflict, using their mother as the ultimate enemy in mind, unifying the constantly bickering siblings, trapping Honma Noriko on this desolate shore; but they lost in not having the capacity to truly kill Honma Noriko, ultimately still facing the test of war.
Kanako won as the good child who proposed the plan, and she would receive the highest praise from her mother; but lost in not being able to end her mother’s control, having to live in her mother’s shadow thereafter.
She didn’t even dare to raise the banner of rebellion like the other Xisheng children, fighting for power and profit, she could only follow the actions of Honma Noriko, nor could she escape on her own without risking her life.
