Chapter 2293: Chapter 1146: Encounter

Three months passed quickly.

Dorothy finally realized her long-held dream in the past few months, which was to enjoy a happy, carefree, and peaceful daily life with her good sisters.

Ironically, they were living on a warship, considered to be a top-tier weapon of war, and the warship was on its way to the battlefield.

Yet the reality was that these three months were indeed the most peaceful days Dorothy had experienced in a long time. In the void, there was only their fleet, and the fleet consisted entirely of their own people. The homebody witch was the fleet’s supreme leader, so naturally, no one would bother to disturb her, and no one would interrupt her. She could fully pursue whatever she wished.

Hence, Dorothy was thoroughly enjoying herself. Every day, she would eat, drink, play with her sisters, and when tired, she would study and research magic to relax a bit. Her occasional work involved checking the fleet’s route or inspecting the fleet members’ living conditions. Said inspection was essentially just her guiding the witches in magic, to put it simply, showing off a bit. When she felt like it, she’d even personally cook in the kitchen, rewarding the troops.

In short, life was exceptionally comfortable.

Unfortunately, such good times are always brief, even if they aren’t actually short; they still feel fleeting.

Three months flew by in the blink of an eye, and according to the route chart, their fleet was only days away from reaching the Intelligent Mechanic Desolation. In fact, they could already see the faint outline of the colossal world ahead.

The exterior of that world looked rather sci-fi, resembling an unimaginably huge warship.

When Dorothy first saw this scene, she was somewhat shocked. She hadn’t expected a world shaped like a warship; this naturally occurring warship was truly a masterpiece of nature.

But thinking that the Witch World is modeled like a flower, it wasn’t surprising that the Intelligent Mechanic Desolation looked like a warship.

"Sigh, we’re finally almost there, but it seems like in a few days, it will be the New Year, Sophia. Looks like we’ll be celebrating in another world this year."

Dorothy looked at the gradually approaching Intelligent Mechanic Desolation and said to the housekeeper beside her.

After this long three-month journey, her lengthy sixteen-year-old year was finally nearing its end, just about ten days until the New Year in Witch World. Clearly, they wouldn’t make it back to celebrate the New Year, and would have to do so within the Intelligent Mechanic Desolation.

"Heh, miss, you remain so confident, but we are actually more likely to celebrate New Year in the void. The world barrier of the Intelligent Mechanic Desolation looks tough to break."

The Pure White Witch, as always, dismantled the expectations. She also looked up at the distant World of Warships, frowning slightly.

Even from afar, she could feel the difficulty posed by the Nine-star Gold Contract World.

Surrounding the naturally warship-shaped world ahead is a structure similar to a protective shield, which is the world barrier of the Intelligent Mechanic Desolation, and the strength of this barrier was unprecedented for Sophia.

The Pure White Witch had been brought to the battlefield by her teacher at a young age, and she’d seen many barriers of large worlds, but never one as solid as this.

Through Sophia’s Eye of Fate, the barrier’s strength of the Intelligent Mechanic Desolation seemed to nearly reach the barrier strength of a Calamity World.

Of course, this is just a comparison, since the actual Four Great Cataclysmic Worlds don’t have barriers. They could, but don’t activate them for the same reason as the Witch World—they find barriers restricting their growth speed.

Yes, the saying of "the best defense is a good offense" implies that if one is strong enough, strong that none dare provoke, and all who meet must flee, naturally, defensive measures become unnecessary.

"Miss, do you have any means to break that world barrier? I estimate that even if our entire fleet’s warship main cannons fire simultaneously, they might not tear through this world barrier in a short time."

Sophia said somewhat worriedly.

This difficulty arrived even sooner than anticipated. The first challenge in the Intelligent Mechanic Desolation strategy—opening the gate—had appeared.

However, compared to the Pure White Witch’s worries, the homebody witch was much more relaxed.

"Don’t worry, everything will work out when we get there. Someone will naturally help us open the gate."

Dorothy said, then glanced at the radar interface of the Nephthys in front of her, soon spotting a red dot on the radar.

At first, it was just one red dot, but quickly, countless red dots densely appeared on the radar interface, followed by a piercing warship alarm resounding throughout the fleet.

Consequently, the fleet members who had been quite leisurely immediately entered combat readiness, quickly donning battle robes, grabbing their magic wands, and heading to their stations, as they had rehearsed numerous times.

The main cannons of each warship began to charge, layers of mana shields appeared around the warships, connecting to form a gigantic shield enclosing the entire fleet.

They were ready to engage with the enemy.

At this moment in the command room of the Nephthys, Sophia also noticed the red dots on the radar, indicating unknown entities appearing around the fleet.
