Chapter 2279 - 1140: The Future Calamity That Died in the Womb (2)

Chapter 2279: Chapter 1140: The Future Calamity That Died in the Womb (2)

In an instant, the homebody witch’s mind was filled with scenes from movies of insect calamities, Insect Race wars, aliens, and more from her last life.

Actually, she didn’t even need Inspiration to remind her; as a naturally imaginative homebody, Dorothy had already envisioned these scenarios the moment her senior reminded her upon encountering such a group of Insect People.

She just couldn’t believe she would stumble upon a potential Catastrophe Seed on an ordinary stroll. Surely, someone couldn’t be arranging this for her again?

Yet, since Inspiration had been triggered, Dorothy had no choice but to believe it despite her reluctance.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot Dorothy, you’re a fate idiot. You could ask your little manager what she can see."

When Dorothy heard these words, Senior Fanny paused and then said this.

Dorothy: "..."

Damn it, although what the senior said is true, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being looked down upon.

So, the agitated homebody witch turned and tugged on Sophia’s sleeve next to her, secretly asking her to take a look while stubbornly attempting to check herself.

Who says she’s a fate idiot? Her Divination is 100% accurate, okay? So powerful, it frightens even herself.

Thus, she fished out a Gold Coin from her pocket and flicked it with her finger.

The witch’s Coin Game, activated.

She couldn’t believe it; could it really be this coincidental?

Though she regretted her impulsiveness slightly afterward, considering how her Divination is always so tricky and that she’s about to head to the battlefield. Hopefully, she wouldn’t see something she’d rather not again like last time.

"Tails, tails."

Unfortunately, the Magic had already been activated, and Prophecy Magic, once started, couldn’t be stopped casually, or it could lead to fate’s backlash, resulting in a streak of bad luck. Therefore, Dorothy could only hope that her Divination failed.

However, the Gold Coin evidently understood reverse support, so when it landed, Dorothy fell into contemplation upon seeing the image of her gallant good sister clad in Battle Armor, holding high the Sword of Sacred Fire.

"Denisha, you really shouldn’t concern yourself with me so much."

She silently griped in her heart, then resignedly closed her eyes.

Yet, even with her eyes closed, images continued to flash before her.

She saw the endless insect swarm engulfing the entire Western Universe, saw....

Saw the billions of Insect Race armies collectively turning into construction insects at the worksite, saw magnificent architectures rising impossibly fast, saw an alluringly beautiful queen at the center of the construction team waving blueprints with authority, and naturally saw this dreamily beautiful Insect Queen looking longingly and faithfully at a familiar figure wearing a safety helmet ahead.....

How could this not look familiar?

"That’s obviously me!"

The homebody witch internally screamed as she opened her eyes.

Bad news, she indeed encountered the future Insect Queen.

Good news, there was no sign of the destructive and despairing insect Catastrophe Species, just an Insect construction team symbolizing progress and construction.

"Damn, why does it feel like seeing myself from a third-person perspective, my style seems so strange?"

Dorothy couldn’t help but quip about herself.

At this moment, the Pure White Witch beside her also withdrew her gaze from the female insect humanoid.

"Miss, initially I saw countless futures on this insect person, most of which symbolized destruction and slaughter as bad fates. Her life’s future was doomed to be full of tragedy, but suddenly all those fates collapsed, leaving only one that looks strange but overall a good ending. What do you have to say about this?"

Sophia blinked her eyes, asking this with a deadpan expression.

Her Eye of Fate could observe the fates of numerous lives, and even whimsically guide others’ fates from uncertain futures to predetermined ones.

Yet, even then, her current power couldn’t be so domineering and assertive to directly determine fate.

No doubt about it, the insect girl had just been directly determined. Her life, which should have taken the path of endless suffering until eventually blackening and walking toward world-ending, had just been kicked from the Novice Village straight into another somewhat comedic yet undoubtedly happy path.

Now the question arises, who possesses such formidable ability to determine fate?

It’s indeed hard to guess since there are a whole three people with this capability.

But first, we can exclude her two mothers.

So.....

Staring....

Dorothy: "..."

The homebody witch, feeling slightly guilty from the stare, bowed deeply.

"Sorry!"

The Island Master of the East executed Japan’s Ultimate Skill II.

However, after hearing Sophia’s words, she was internally relieved about her impulsiveness earlier, considering it was an unintentional rescue of countless worlds, wasn’t it? Well, this totally makes me awesome.

But compared to the slightly exaggerated concept of saving the world, the homebody witch was more certain she’d accidentally saved the tragic life path of this pitiful insect girl.

That’s truly great.

Dorothy thought contentedly.

Though she couldn’t save everyone in this so-called talent market, her power could still adequately assist others, even if just one person, was good enough for her.

She was already very satisfied.

Just as she wanted to approach the shopkeeper to "adopt" this cage of "fleeing talents," someone had already stepped forward ahead of her.

"Boss, we’ll take these insect people."

Senior Mia said to the shopkeeper, who was nearly ready to pack up.

She’d been with her crush for more than a day; ever since Dorothy stopped to look back at that cage of insect people, the Golden Princess had already devised a plan for negotiating the purchase, now merely implementing it.

She’d always cover anything the Little Fairy showed interest in.

Thus, in Dorothy’s dumbfounded gaze, Senior Mia persuaded the shopkeeper, who was already prepared for a loss, with her expert bargaining and negotiation skills, using persuasion techniques as eloquent as blossoming lotuses.

The skill effects were incredible.

This entire cage, with hundreds of various insect people, was sold to the insect enthusiast Dorothy at a clearance price.

Technically, it was only the cage she purchased; all these unsold insect people were essentially freebies.

Dorothy: "..."

Friends, went shopping for a cage today, and was given a Catastrophe Seed as a gift. Catastrophes are really cheap these days.

However, since the insect people were acquired, the group did not linger further. They directly carried the cage back to the fleet.

"Sister, why did you buy so many insect people, they’re so ugly, oh well, a few are quite handsome."

Once back on the Nephthys, Alice finally spoke, asking after holding onto her question the whole way.

Meanwhile, Audrey was unexpectedly bold, curiously peeking at the strange insect people by the cage.

The Little Fox’s social anxiety target seemed limited to witches; she instantly became bold when facing other races.

"What’s ugly about them? These insect people are actually beautiful. Every form of life is a miracle of evolution. Their shells, barbs, antennae, and elytra are filled with the beauty of life."

She muttered quietly.

This is what studying art does; it does make one’s aesthetic distinctive.

Madeline, on the other hand, watched her sister nervously, afraid she might get harmed by any insect person from the cage.

As for the newcomers, Wendy and Mordred also curiously looked at the homebody witch, puzzled by why she bought such weak insect people.

Regarding this, Dorothy directly waved to open the cage and then entered inside.

"Hehe, little bugs, let sister examine you."

She rubbed her hands, speaking expectantly.

...Witch inspection in progress....
