849: Chapter 694: The Empress with Maxed Out Charm 849: Chapter 694: The Empress with Maxed Out Charm “Lady Farosa and her, who is stronger?”
Mizuiro Yoshioka pondered deeply yet dared not ask aloud.
“Present here is rely a clone,” Lady Farosa observed, “but the opponent clearly possesses Empress-level magical power.
It is so vast and profound, pure and flawless; there is no mistake.”
Acting rashly exposes one to counterattacks.
Before understanding the opponent’s capabilities, one must not initiate confrontation—such is the basic principle of high-level warfare.
For now, Lady Farosa could only opt to observe, gathering as much intelligence as possible.
However, looking down at the Witch Empress standing at the edge of the Eclipse of the Star, what Lady Farosa felt most deeply was jealousy.
“Witch Empress,” what a prestigious concept.
During the Era of the Five Queens, five remarkably talented empresses erged, each governing a segnt of history.
The reign of “The First Empress” lasted just over 500 years, then she perished in a war against a formidable life form.
Following her, “The Second Empress” sought powers beyond Empress-level magical power and developed the Seven Witches Ritual capable of Ascension.
Lady Farosa etched extensive knowledge from within the Church into her mory, finally reconstructing the truth of the Seven Witches Ritual from nurous historical fragnts, thereby acquiring this formidable prowess for herself.
Divine power greatly enhances a witch.
On one hand, it develops a witch’s fragile body into a god-like super organism; now, for instance, Lady Farosa is impervious to blade and gun and possesses imnse endurance.
On the other hand, it allows Lady Farosa to wield corresponding authorities, such as probing into a witch’s mind and influencing their cognition.
As for the “Witch Empress,” it represents the pinnacle within the witch’s own power system, far stronger than the Supre Witch, Dominator, High-Ranking, Lower Rank, and Juveniles.
“An Empress’s clone has shown up at our door, yet we dare not make a move, unsure of her powers,” observed Mizuiro Yoshioka.
“I am certain, during the Council era, no empress had erged; this empress must have appeared either during or after the Witch Wars,” Lady Farosa looked downwards.
“Could she be an empress cultivated by a major corporation?” Mizuiro Yoshioka speculated.
Having a chance to et a genuine empress is indeed a rare historical opportunity.
“Let’s first see what actions she takes upon arriving at the Eclipse of the Star,” said Lady Farosa indifferently.
Undoubtedly, that empress must have been far luckier than Lady Farosa.
She must have encountered nurous opportunities, adventures, and good fortune within her 200-year lifespan to break the limit and advance to beco a Witch Empress.
The presence of the other party genuinely made Lady Farosa feel inner disgust and considerable apprehension.
As for the mbers of the Anti-Witch Faction, they remained fearless, shouting at that empress.
“Wow!”
“You, this creature!”
“Drive all witches away!”
“The existence of witches only brings misfortune!”
“Northern Archipelago belongs to humans!” Thousands of people began to clamor.
They not only outnumbered but also brought a substantial amount of civilian weaponry.
The present civilian firepower was nothing to scoff at; even common folks could obtain advanced equipnt ranging from military armored robots to Laser Three-Eyed Guns and masses of Industrial Flying Swords from Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing, and drones from Hidden Dragon Intelligence Co., evidently planning on a prolonged protest here.
Their original intention was to coerce Nestor Corporation to divulge information on the Ancient Witch, should the corporation refuse to concede, by resorting to violence.
In the distance, the engineering team attempting to repair the Eclipse of the Star could only temporarily avoid the brunt as the combat power of these anti-witch civilian groups was quite vigorous.
“They even brought Gauss sniper rifles!” Mizuiro Yoshioka identified the snipers in the crowd through aerial surveillance equipnt, “They really intend to kill a witch or two from Nestor Corporation!”
“Anti-Witch Faction…” Lady Farosa frowned.
With even Gauss sniper rifles at their disposal, these are no ordinary protesters; decisive action must be taken.
The Empress raised her hand, attempting to pacify the crowd.
“Please do not aim your weapons at !
Please don’t create more bloodshed and conflict.
Witches and humans can coexist harmoniously; your anger will only harm yourselves!” the Empress shouted from the edge of the Eclipse of the Star.
The Empress was very close to that great pit, as if a re push could send her falling.
“We need answers from Nestor Corporation!” shouted the leading protester using a phonetic prosthetic amplification device.
Even the faintest voices, when amplified by throat amplification devices, beca extraordinarily loud, sounding like a booming bell, boosting the morale of the anti-witch citizens.
They held banners, posters, slogans, and flags, all bearing anti-witch propaganda.
“Nestor Corporation has no answers either!” the Empress shouted back at them, her vigor undiminished, “Nestor Corporation doesn’t even know what kind of monsters they are creating!
Trust , they are just as bewildered, contradictory, and helpless as you; they cannot save themselves…
but you still have a chance!
Set aside this hatred, love yourselves, cherish your own lives!”
“Wow…”
“This witch is insane!”
“They have no clue what she’s talking about!” The protesters remained fervently incensed.
Higher up, Mizuiro Yoshioka and Lady Farosa continued to observe everything.
“They really hate witches this much?” Mizuiro Yoshioka also felt uneasy.
“People have grown accustod to comfort, so waking up one day to find a gigantic hole beside them truly overwhelms their fragile minds.
They need ti to adapt,” Lady Farosa said coldly.
Lady Farosa’s expression remained utterly calm, her gaze unchanged from start to finish.
“Perhaps the Empress, in her attempt to pacify these angry citizens, could hold off this wave for us,” Mizuiro Yoshioka pondered.
“She is a foolish Empress,” Lady Farosa stated, “I have seen her Magic Power.
She possesses three types of Magic Power, each capable of lethally overwhelming the masses before her and silencing the clamor.
Yet, she rely stands there, engaging in futile preaching.”
“Three Types of Magic Powers!” Mizuiro Yoshioka exclaid, astounded, as possessing even two was exceedingly rare, let alone three.
Is she truly fit to be the Witch Empress?
Even the quantity of her Magic Power is exceptional.
“Why doesn’t she use her great Empress-level Magic Power to kill?” Lady Farosa mused, “Doesn’t she realize that by not doing so, she brings sha upon the entire witch community?
The sole Witch Empress, standing idly amidst a mob, wasting her ti.”
The Empress continued her dialogue with the crowd.
They dared not approach her, as a few citizens detected the overwhelming Magic Power emanating from her and loudly cautioned their peers, suggesting she was at least a Dominator Witch, thus slightly restraining them.
The Power of a Dominator was indeed enough to obliterate these thousands.
Gradually, as dia professionals arrived, the live scenes were broadcast across major portals, short video news apps, and dia platforms.
“Mysterious Witch Confronts Anti-Witch Group Under the ‘Eclipse of the Star’!” This headline quickly attracted widespread attention.
The wave of anti-witch sentint certainly held influence, but out of respect for Nestor Corporation’s reverence for witches, people refrained from showing it.
Yet, they still yearned for the tis when witches were rigorously constrained.
To these individuals, witches should be manipulated and transford by human society as commodities, slaves, and tools, just as in the past.
Now that they have equal status with humans, it disgusts them.
Facing increasing attention, the Empress continued to show patience and gentleness.
“I see you co ard and angry, but these can only harm yourselves… Nestor Corporation is powerful, and conflict among you changes nothing.
The Ancient Witch is well preserved by Nestor Corporation; they would never disclose her information, no matter how extre your actions… You will only be annihilated, and then your information concealed… Your resentnt towards witches is but a false fla that will only kill yourselves,” the Empress shouted loudly.
“How can we be sure that the Ancient Witch won’t harm us in the future?
If we don’t resist, our chances are even slimr!” a representative of the citizens yelled.
“Let talk to her!
Allow to dissolve the resentnt and pain in her heart, let guide her onto the path of redemption.
We must abandon hatred and war, to love, to love beyond logic, to beco good, to be kind, everyone can do it!
The Ancient Witch too!
Everybody, please leave!” the Empress said to them, then she turned towards the sky, her tone uplifted, “Nestor Corporation!
Bring forth the Ancient Witch to talk to !
I will bridge all differences!
As for everyone else, you can go back!
I will take care of you!”
The Empress’s words and rhetoric caused divergences in the crowd.
“Uh…”
“If she guarantees it, maybe it’s okay too, she seems very confident.”
“Staying here too long isn’t good either, I have work in the afternoon.”
“Eh?
They pay you 600 a day?
Why do I only get 300?”
“What a cri to not have stayed at ho on a beautiful Saturday!” So noise started among the anti-witch group, and their montum significantly weakened.
Seeing roughly one-third of the crowd beginning to leave, the Empress also displayed a slight smile.
“I thought it would lead to tank battles, but it turns out they’ve dispersed,” Mizuiro Yoshioka looked down on the dispersing anti-witch group.
“The sa words in the Empress’s mouth are edicts, while in a common witch’s mouth, they are re tedious preachings; power remains the sole universal rule,” Lady Farosa said while changing her clothes in the cabin.
She put on a black trench coat, tied a necktie, looking much like a corporate representative, unpinned her braid and changed it to a single ponytail, then vanished within the cabin.
At the verge of the ‘Eclipse of the Star,’ Lady Farosa appeared in the guise of a Nestor Corporation official.
“I am the Chief of the Witch Division of Nestor Corporation, my na is Farosa, I look forward to your cooperation,” she bowed slightly to the protesting crowd.
“Ah…”
“To think she actually appeared!”
“A representative from Nestor Corporation…” They pointed and gossiped about Farosa; this was their first ti seeing the Chief of the Witch Division.
Farosa’s gaze swept over them, her indifferent eyes instilling a hint of fear in them.
“Ladies and Gentlen, you wish to know about the Ancient Witch, but as of now, it remains a comrcial secret of our company, not intended for public disclosure.
Regarding the damage to Shangjing City’s appearance and the ruin to citizens’ health caused by the ‘Eclipse of the Star’ event, our company has already prepared thorough counterasures, including follow-up procedures, security contract compensations, and restoration works, all of which have been made public, and multiple votes are underway, please take a mont to familiarize yourselves,” Farosa explained to the public in her most restrained and rational tone.
“What!”
“You’re just a bureaucrat!
What good are you!”
“The Chief of the Witch Division can’t even manage witches!
Look at this huge crater!”
“We must destroy the Ancient Witch!”
“The Northern Archipelago belongs to humans!”
“We can’t allow such a terrifying entity to coexist with us in the sa region!” Several resolute representatives from the anti-witch faction loudly spurred on, and others, swayed by the collective impulse, inclined to stay and point fingers with them.
Slogans flew around, banners waved high.
Farosa watched them, a deep-seated rage flickering in her eyes.
A bunch of troublemakers!
So you won’t listen to reason, huh!
Law of Slaughter!
