Chapter 1279: Chapter 720: Parting and Reunion
"Uh, really? It’s been so long, and it’s still not over?"
Hearing Christina’s words, Dorothy frowned, a little puzzled.
They had been hiding on Japan’s island for so long, she had practically become the Lord of Japan, yet the storm hadn’t passed. Wasn’t it said that the Magic Network had no memory?
The fervor of the Magic Network always came quickly and faded even faster. In just a few months, some topics that were widely discussed today might be forgotten by everyone tomorrow.
In Dorothy’s previous era, it was often said to be the age of entertainment to death, and now the Witch World far surpassed that era, as mortals could hardly imagine the joys of the witches’ games.
In short, even something like adding chicken essence to stir-fried noodles wouldn’t dominate the headlines for so long.
Meanwhile, Sophia seemed to be deep in thought.
"Could it be that those angelic witches from the God King Sect are still unwilling to give up?"
The Pure White Witch asked.
"Yes, after all, Chairman, you were a bit harsh before."
Christina nodded, speaking euphemistically.
That was indeed putting it mildly. What the Chairman did was not just a bit harsh; she had directly shattered the last pillar of the angelic witch clan, pushing the already declining Witch Royal Family further downhill.
Originally, although the angelic witch clan was quite weak, the Ancestral Court of the God King Sect managed to barely hold everyone together; after all, they were still family.
But earlier, Lady Sophia, as the leader of the Revelation Battle Group, drew the Holy Sword of the God King, becoming the legendary God King Holy Child.
Although she was immediately stopped by Lord Clown after drawing the sword, that was not important. What mattered was that she succeeded, which meant Lady Sophia was truly recognized as the True Holy Child by the God King.
This event was of great significance to the angelic witches.
After all, it had been unknown for how many years since the God King last issued an oracle; many claimed that the God King had long grown tired of the God King Sect and abandoned them.
For devout believers, nothing was more despairing than being abandoned by the deity they worship.
The decline of the angelic witch clan began from there.
A king is not honored by blood, but blood is honored by its king.
Angelic witches were neither valuable nor noble, as witches could freely choose their evolution template. In theory, any witch who chose angel as her evolution template and evolved a talent specialization of an angel could claim to be an angelic witch.
However, the angelic witches of the God King Sect held high status because they were followers of the God King, supposedly descended from the God King, the so-called Witch Royal Family.
The God King Sect united the scattered angelic witches through faith in the God King and became so powerful that they ranked among the top three clans in the Witch Territory.
Once the so-called royal family claimed to no longer exist and faith collapsed, this once powerful clan naturally neared its disintegration.
After all, everyone chose to become Angelic Witches for the God King’s protection. If they couldn’t offer that, why not choose to become Dragon Witches or Demon Witches instead?
Shallow believers would think this way.
True believers would reflect on their sins, pondering what had caused the deity to no longer favor them.
As for zealots, they would only fall into madness, becoming extreme, making every attempt to retain the deity’s favor, striving to reclaim their former glory, at any cost, willing to do anything in the name of God.
Zealots are hardly different from madmen.
The departure of the God King’s favor marked the beginning of the angelic witch clan’s decline, centered around the God King Sect.
Now, the God King once again manifested his power, bestowing a Holy Child.
The good news: the birth of the God King Holy Child indicated that the God King had not entirely abandoned them as believers.
The bad news: the God King Holy Child was not from the God King Sect, suggesting that all along, they might have believed in a false religion.
Thus, shallow believers continued to run away.
True believers were suddenly enlightened, questioning their country’s teaching.
And the zealots...
What a joke, how could our God King Sect be wrong? We have given everything to the great God King; could that still not be enough? The problem certainly can’t lie with me, but with the so-called Holy Child.
No, more accurately, not with the Holy Child, but with the heresy that deceived the Holy Child, that wretched Revelation Battle Group, and the so-called God King’s Church.
Defeat the heretics, reclaim the Holy Child, and restore the glory of the God King Sect...
Yeah, something like that mindset, perhaps.
Anyway, the angelic witch clan is now in chaos; the thoughtful young witches have joined the Revelation Battle Group, expanding this already powerful group many times over in just a few months, while the stubborn old fossils cling to the ruins of the God King Sect, preparing to launch a holy war against the heretics under the banner of the "Holy Pure Side."
This incident has had such a significant impact that even some ancient angelic witches who had long retired have been disturbed and are making a comeback.
Anyway, there have been many conflicts between the two sides over the past few months, constantly fighting against each other.
