Chapter 2259: Chapter 1131: Mission Issued

Luckily, the Judges all wore masks on their faces, otherwise, if Lord Black Impermanence’s astonished expression were seen, the carefully crafted facade would be entirely ruined.

However, there was no helping it. After all, this was Dorothy’s first official use of her authority, and she didn’t expect the moon she summoned would cheekily wink at her.

Is it reasonable for the moon to wink, you ask?

Fortunately, Dorothy waited a bit and stealthily observed the reactions of others, noticing that nobody seemed to find it odd, as if she alone could see the moon’s wink.

Moreover, when she looked again at the Red Moon, everything seemed normal, as if the wink was merely an illusion. But the homebody witch didn’t believe in illusions, and even now felt the moon seemed to have a tone of affection towards her.

Strange, truly strange.

Still, at present, this peculiar moon seemed to hold no malice, so the homebody witch, unable to comprehend it, simply decided not to dwell on it. Maintaining Lord Black Impermanence’s facade was more important.

Her gaze shifted from the Red Moon to the Great Judge Red, who had fallen into a curious state of enlightenment.

Hmm, it seemed Aunt Hati was having a smooth experience after all, so there was nothing to worry about.

Dorothy sighed in relief.

The others were also keenly observing Red, eager to immediately grab her and ask what the experience felt like, whether it was real or not, but ultimately, they all strove to remain silent, fearing to disturb her revelation.

Luckily, the moonlight only persisted for a while. Soon, the shy Red Moon ducked behind the clouds, and the ceiling above reappeared.

This was the homebody witch retracting her strength.

"This was just a trial experience. True authority cannot be comprehended in a short time. Awaken now, and once the mission is completed, I will reward each of you with different durations of experiential time based on your contributions."

Dorothy spoke, rousing Red, who was still immersed in the power of omnipotence, and then addressed those around her.

Finally, she added another sentence.

"Also, any outstanding performer in this mission can choose to join my Underworld Faction. Although we don’t have the wealth and resources that other factions boast, we do have certain specialties when it comes to spells or authority guidance, and faction members can later exchange merit for guidance."

Hmm, the Underworld Faction needed new recruits; being the sole leader with no followers wouldn’t be efficient later on. She indeed intended to closely observe everyone’s performance in the upcoming tasks and select some reliable judges to absorb into the Underworld Faction.

Afterward, Dorothy didn’t say much more but left some time for everyone to consider carefully and communicate freely.

Though everyone was tempted by the reward, they ultimately directed their attention back to Red, eagerly awaiting her description of the brief experience.

In response, Red did not hide anything; she openly recounted the recent feelings.

"It was indeed the authority of the Red Moon, but I don’t know how to describe to you that feeling I just had. Yet, I can vouch with my honor that Lord Black Impermanence was absolutely not lying. I indeed felt the authority of the Red Moon vividly exhibited before me, far clearer than any other learning experiences I’ve had."

Hati spoke, with eyes still full of shock and reluctance behind her mask, seemingly still immersed in the brief experience.

She was indeed not lying; she didn’t falsify anything. As the werewolf witch clan’s strongest in combat power, she did have many other opportunities to learn about authority and experienced many similar chances.

Be it personal guidance from the Great Sage, reading notes or remnants left by predecessors, or some secret realm in the spirit world, etc.

But comparing those opportunities with the recent experience given by Lord Black Impermanence was simply incomparable.

Past opportunities, although they assisted in comprehending authority, were often obscure, hidden as if in fog, requiring one to explore and comprehend bit by bit to gain some insights.

However, the Red Moon summoned by Lord Black Impermanence was entirely unguarded towards her; it was as if she had already successfully comprehended the Blood Moon’s authority, almost like having the food directly fed to your mouth. If you still didn’t know how to eat, it would undoubtedly be your own problem, not Lord Black Impermanence’s fault.

Hati was an honest person, always saying what was on her mind; she spoke frankly about the good.

Yet, this made her somewhat conflicted. Not having experienced it would be fine, but after truly experiencing it, she found that the reward provided by Lord Black Impermanence was indeed irresistibly alluring. If she could truly have more chances to experience authority, she even had the confidence to comprehend authority before turning 500. Afterward, by spending some more time to catch up on her Mastery of Nine Systems knowledge, she could basically secure becoming a Sage before turning 1000.

Who could refuse such an opportunity?

But she was initially planning to stand with Lord Clown, so what now?
