Otaku Witch

Chapter 254 227. Bloodline of the Sinner

Dorothy: "???"

Listening to the shocking question from Hat Senior Sister by her side, the Homebody Witch had even more question marks popping over her head.

But wait a second, Senior Sister, the information in your statement just now was a bit overwhelming, let me catch my breath.

Sophia is a half-blood witch too?

Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could a half-witch be as strong as her? My magical power level is what a normal half-witch should have.

Always having magical power far exceeding her peers, Dorothy couldn't believe this fact.

But since it was Hat Senior Sister who mentioned it, considering the credibility of the Future Fourth King, the Homebody Witch had no choice but to believe.

"Well, it's impossible for a normal mixed-race to be this strong, but what if the other half is also from a Calamity?"

Dorothy suddenly realized this possibility.

"Oh my, Senior Sister, don't tell me Sophia is a mix of a Fallen Angel and a witch."

She asked in shock.

"Uh, didn't you already know?"

Sensing the genuine shock from her Master through their familiar connection, Hat Senior Sister was also puzzled.

Ah, could it be that the self-destructing Clown is actually me?

Realizing that maybe Dorothy had just made a wild guess that hit the mark, Senior Joyful's black hat almost turned green with irritation.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, she only has fifty years left to live, fifty years whether it's divinity or demonic nature that wins, anyway, her weakest humanity is probably doomed.

The reason she decided to follow Dorothy out was not only to gamble on that last possibility of Fate but to truly enjoy the last fifty years of her life.

And after shedding her identity as the Fourth King, she, Asa Vanni, as a pure witch, had a very simple hobby—watching dramas unfold while munching on melons, being a Merry Maker. But now, looking back at what she had done, she had messed up such a big drama with a slap.

"Yes, yes, you guessed it right. She is a Calamity hybrid."

The joyless voice of Hat Senior Sister sounded lifeless, responding weakly to her Master's question.

Well, since there's no melon to enjoy anymore, there's nothing worth hiding.

"But isn't marriage between the Calamity Races prohibited?"

The Homebody Witch was even more surprised by the confirmed guess.

Witches can indeed interbreed with otherworldly races, but only those below Silver level, and generally, the Four Great Catastrophes do not intermarry.

After all, witches are allowed to marry otherworldly races because, generally, the bloodlines of other races cannot suppress the Witch's Blood, and the offspring they produce will ultimately only be witches.

In fact, there is no such thing as half-witch in this world; being a half-witch is just a juvenile form of a witch, because as the little witch grows up, the exotic bloodline in her body will gradually be eroded and swallowed up by the Witch's Blood, eventually completely transforming into a pureblood witch.

And this is why it is said that the gap between a half-witch and a pureblood witch is only at the starting point, because eventually, everyone is truly the same.

Dorothy could clearly feel such changes herself. With the growth of magical power and age, the weak human bloodline inside her was slowly disappearing, the blood inherited from her father Adam slowly turning into nourishment for her "Diligence Makes Up for Lack of Skill" talent.

But if it's a Calamity hybrid, then that's troublesome. Being from the same Calamity Race, it's really hard to determine the race of the offspring. It would be quite awkward if the child born wasn't a witch.

And witches are a standard witch-supremacist race, they really don't regard anyone apart from humans, their closest relatives by origin, in high esteem.

Once the offspring of a Calamity Race is not a witch, then this child will not be accepted by Witch Society, nor will she enjoy the privileges of witches; she would be treated as one of the exotic.

But everyone knows the status of exotic races in Witch World, then which mother could accept her child being treated as inferior?

And maternal love is a complicated thing; it might be grand, but sometimes it leads to madness. What if a loving mother, for the sake of her child, reveals witch secrets to this exotic child? And what if this child's loyalties lie with its Calamity paternal race?

Therefore, it is problematic to have a half-witch, half-Calamity offspring. Witches simply legislated to ban intermarriage with the Calamity Races outright. Should such a union be discovered, it was inevitably met with severe punishment, and any children would be directly dealt with.

So, what was Sophia up to...

"That's why her family is no more."

Dorothy had not even a chance to ask when Hat Senior Sister directly answered her puzzled look.

Oh, right, Sophia's mother was already sentenced to the Knowledge Curse and was executed by her own hand.

"After contracting the Knowledge Curse back then, Little Angel's mother engaged in mad human experimentation. Angel Witches, out of devotion and worship to their God King Teacher, always hoped to be a bit closer to him. When Little Angel's mother went mad, she started targeting Angel Hybrids, aiming for those rare geniuses born from a mixed lineage that, although taboo, occasionally surpassed all norms."

"Back then, it was Teacher Euphilia who led the team to capture her. By then the woman had completely lost her mind; the lab was littered with dead fetuses, and even when the teacher found her, she had just given birth to another child."

"That child was the only living test subject in the lab. Normally, she should have been executed, but maybe because the teacher had just lost a daughter of her own, misplaced maternal love found a receptacle; she ultimately didn't dispose of the infant."

"Yes, that child was your Little Angel. Your mother spent a massive amount of magical power to transfuse her, cleansing the Angel blood in her veins, leaving only the witch's blood, and personally vouched for her, which led the Council of Sages to turn a blind eye, sparing her life."

As the Future Fourth King, Senior Fanny has extremely high access levels; these secrets, beyond the reach of ordinary witches, are well-known to her.

"But looking at it now, that mad woman's experiments back then were a success, huh? The Talent of your Little Angel is indeed terrifying; she even possesses the Power of Fate, despite her halved blood and Talent. If she were in her complete form, she..."

"Well, she's still not as good as I am, she's at most only at the Sage level."

Hat Senior Sister suddenly switched her tone, boastfully proud of herself.

This left Dorothy speechless, captivated by the story, but she never expected her housemate's identity to be so bizarre.

"However, Dorothy, this Little Angel seems a bit restless nowadays. There's a big problem with her Fallen Angel persona. Her life was guaranteed by Teacher Euphilia back then, so if something goes wrong on her part, it could backfire on the teacher."

"As a Disciple, I won't let my teacher's reputation be damaged. So, if I determine this Little Angel is indeed problematic, I will eliminate her."

"In fact, if not for your sake, Dorothy, I would have ended her when I first noticed the anomalies on your island."

After her joke, Hat Senior Sister's tone suddenly turned cold, and at this moment, she was no longer the Joyful Senior, but a high and mighty, deity-like Witch King.

"Don't blame me for being harsh; after all, the paternal lineage of this Little Angel is too special and too dangerous. The initial agreement with the Council of Sages was that should there be any anomalies with the Little Angel, she could be dealt with at any time."

Dorothy opened her mouth, but the words she was about to say got choked back inside. She had to change the subject.

"Who is her father?"

"Who else could it be? There aren't many in heaven higher than the King of Angels, and as for the one the witches are most likely to encounter... I don't need to say more."

Hat Senior Sister said disdainfully.

Dorothy: "....."

Well, indeed, no more need to be said.

The Homebody Witch pulled out her Divination Coin, then quietly stared at the two battling Twelve-Winged Angels on it.

... Homebody Witch feeling weary...
