Becoming a White-Haired Witch in a World Full of Anomalies

Chapter 120 : The Second Anomaly God...

Candlelight illuminated this place. The castle's interior was decorated very gloomily, like a vampire's castle. Here, Bai Ling found she had lost her five senses, her mind blank, unwilling to think about anything."Welcome, newcomer." Another Bai Ling walked out, but she had a huge wound on her body.

"What happened to you again?"

"I was killed by Archbishop Mercy's blade." Bai Ling scratched her head somewhat annoyed.

"Come in first." Mini Bai Ling pulled Bai Ling to a dining room. Pushing open the door, an endless dining table appeared, extending infinitely. The table was filled with food and surrounded by various Bai Lings.

"Damn, so many?"

"Hahaha, I had the same expression when I first came." The Bai Ling who was slashed to death laughed.

Here were Bai Lings missing hands and feet, Bai Lings covered in black lines, Bai Lings missing a large chunk of flesh from their chests, Bai Lings missing half their bodies...

"Do I die so miserably?"

"This is nothing!"

"What defeat concentration camp? Damn!"

"I'll explain later. Come, take a bite quickly."

The Bai Lings picked up a bowl of food. The food's appearance kept changing until it became a dish called "A Red Apricot Leaning Over the Wall." Bai Ling remembered this—Chi Xiaoyu had brought her to eat it many times, and she still craved it.

"Wow, they even have this!"

"Come, eat quickly."

Bai Ling picked up the red apricot, and suddenly a strange feeling came—as if eating it would make her lose something.

"What happens after eating it?"

"After eating, you can stay here."

"But I don't want to stay. I still have unfinished business."

"But you're already dead."

"I'm dead?"

"Yes, only failed Bai Lings who died come here."

"How is that possible? I'm not dead!"

"The Bai Ling before you isn't dead yet, so she's not here, but you're already dead!"

Bai Ling looked around and found no wounds. She pointed at her healthy body: "Look, I don't even have wounds!"

"Having no wounds is indeed strange, but you've already come here... If you don't eat, you'll be kicked out, and then you won't be able to come back even if you want to."

"What happens if I'm kicked out?"

"You'll truly die..."

"Is there a way to go back?"

"How could dead people go back?"

Bai Ling tried hard to recall her experiences. She had just been beside Twilight Witch, then seemed to gain the Blood Witch's memories, then appeared here...

"Am I really... dead?"

"The castle's master is coming. Eat quickly, or you'll be kicked out!"

"The castle's master, who is it?"

"Blood Princess..."

"My contracted anomaly?"

"Yes and no..."

A woman entered the room wearing noble Gothic dress with vampire makeup and white hair—Blood Princess's appearance...

"Good evening, Your Majesty."

Bai Ling quietly asked Mini Bai Ling: "Blood Princess? My contracted Blood Princess is only A-grade."

"Many Bai Lings have contracted Blood Princess, but none have seen Blood Princess use an anomalous domain, right?"

【Now that you mention it, I really haven't seen her use one!】

"Her anomalous domain is special. Each time she dies, she accumulates power in the castle's blood pool. As long as she doesn't summon the castle and the blood pool isn't destroyed, with each of our reincarnations, her power grows stronger. But only she—she is the first Blood Princess..."

"This..."

"She needs us, and we need her, so she takes us in, providing food and shelter. This castle doesn't exist in the world, so only after death can you reach it. Eating the food represents willingness to follow the rules here, and also means you can't harm the blood pool, so you can stay. Otherwise, you'll be kicked out..."

"So she's an Anomaly God now?"

"No, she's an Anomaly King... Maybe after a few thousand more Bai Lings die and reincarnate a few thousand times, she'll reach Anomaly God."

Blood Princess slowly came before Bai Ling, expressionless: "Eat and stay, or leave."

"Let me go."

"Quite a few Bai Lings have chosen to leave, but they all failed."

"You mean there's a possibility of success?"

"Of course, if someone is willing to come get you."

"Get me?"

"Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything."

Blood Princess brought Bai Ling to the castle entrance, where Bai Ling had awakened. Outside was chaos.

"No one came to get you... If you insist on leaving... cross the chaos to reach the world of the living. If you can't cross it, you'll be lost..."

Bai Ling looked at the chaos before her and gathered courage. Even with just a slim chance, rather than living dishonorably here, she'd rather take the risk.

Above the Black Fog

"Bai Ling, what's wrong with you?"

"She's not Bai Ling now... but the Blood Witch." Lin Xinyao said gravely.

【What is that Fate doing? If she were here, Twilight Witch couldn't have gotten close to Bai Ling at all!】

【Do we have to restart again...】

"Crimson roses, bloom here!"

Flesh thorns grew wildly, constantly grabbing at everyone. Corpse Mountain's seal was interrupted and began growing madly again. The Anomaly Kings were attacked simultaneously by Corpse Mountain and the Blood Witch. Heaven's Secret opened a space to temporarily avoid the attacks.

"Seal the Blood Witch first, then seal Corpse Mountain!"

"Give Bai Ling back to me!" Bai Menglan looked at the Blood Witch wearing Bai Ling's appearance and gritted her teeth.

Water columns, invisible giant hands, annihilation rule characters, and Incomplete's law attacks all flew toward the Blood Witch, but were deflected by blood-red explosive energy upon approach.

"Nothing special."

A red light appeared in the Blood Witch's hand as surrounding energy slowly concentrated there. She raised her hand parallel to the moon.

"Blood Moon Condensed Light!"

A crimson beam shot from the moon, piercing through all defenses and knocking the Anomaly Kings to the ground. The light didn't stop—the black fog and earth below were also pierced, creating a hundred-meter-wide hole.

Corpse Mountain's volume had swelled to twice its original size. Countless eyes, organs, and bones were within it. Just one glance seemed to let you hear wailing sounds...

"It's time..."

The witch extended her hand toward Corpse Mountain.

"Thump thump! Thump thump!"

The sound of heartbeats came as a giant heart appeared. Blood vessels viciously pierced into Corpse Mountain's body, absorbing life energy.

"Stop her! She wants to advance!"

Even Anomaly King attacks were deflected. Blood-red light constantly exploded, repelling everyone. The current Blood Witch was one step away from becoming Crimson...

"Hahahaha, no one can stop me!"

Chaos Sea

Not knowing how much time had passed, Bai Ling didn't know if she was still moving forward. Here there was no concept of time. Having lost her five senses, she didn't know if she was still advancing, but her heart remained firm—she had to return! She still had an unfinished mission...

Perhaps decades or thousands of years passed, but Bai Ling still didn't stop. She had lost the ability to think, lost in the Chaos Sea...

As if taking pity on her, a sigh came: "Sigh..."

"Hmph, it's not like I want to help you!"

Thoughts flooded back, and suddenly a light appeared in her eyes, guiding her forward.

"Follow fate's guidance, I will break open the Chaos Sea for you!"

"Splash!"

Fate's powerful force separated the Chaos Sea, and a path scattered with golden light appeared...

"Are you... the voice that reminded me in the river of time...?"

"Hmph, hurry back. He has arrived, your time is running out..."

【I remember she said in the river of time that she wouldn't care about me. Who exactly is she? I shouldn't know her...】

Leaving the Chaos Sea, Bai Ling opened her eyes: "Eh...?"

She floated in mid-air, confronting the Anomaly Kings, with the dead Corpse Mountain beside her.

"What is this..."

Bai Ling discovered a red light behind her reaching straight to the sky. The Anomaly Kings across from her all looked serious, as if facing a great enemy.

"This power?"

Bai Ling felt the endless magic power within her body, as if she could destroy a city with a snap of her fingers.

Lin Xinyao noticed something and asked: "Bai Ling?"

"It's me."

"Thank goodness."

The girl rushed over and hugged her, followed by Bai Menglan...

"I thought..." Bai Menglan began crying. She had been forcing herself to stay strong just now, thinking she had lost Bai Ling...

Lin Xinyao also kept wiping tears—not just joy at seeing Bai Ling alive, but joy at finally seeing hope after tens of thousands of reincarnations.

【This time, I shouldn't have to rewind the entire planet, right?】

"Next, only the heretics in the palace remain..."

"Mm, let's eliminate Terminus Cult together."

Bai Menglan held both her children's hands, leading everyone up the steps to the palace...

Inside the Palace

"Finally about to be completed..."

Archbishop Mercy looked at the evil god in the palace center and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha!"

"Joyful, so joyful!"

"For this moment, I've sacrificed too much, too much!"

"God, I haven't disappointed your expectations, have I?"

The evil god little girl in the room's center had her eyes closed in pain as countless black qi continuously drilled into her body...

【No, no!】

She wasn't originally an evil god, just a burial companion under a dead person's fear. Terminus Cult used her as a medium to initiate the ritual. She was now just a vessel... The man held an indescribable object in his hands—a god's remains.

"What a pity. Reviving you, wouldn't I still just be an angel?"

"Having tasted the nobility of being a minister, one should taste the authority of being a ruler."

The god's remains in his hands were discarded. Archbishop Mercy chose to become the new god himself!

"Ah!" With the girl's painful screams, black qi swirled in the room. Soon after, she landed on the ground with a satisfied expression...

"How wonderful!"

A black beam of light shot skyward—a new god was born...
