Chapter 803 Opening the Plane
“Alice, what are you planning this time?”
After the first Witch Council with this girl, the witch leaders no longer dared to look down upon this young witch. As such, Death Witch Leader Khesuna only frowned and questioned impatiently.
The expansion of planar worlds had not been going well for the Death Witches over the past few years. They were still engaged in deadly combat against the orcs of various worlds. Anyone would be impatient and frustrated if they were dragged from a bloody and tense battlefield to an old, rotting castle at such a crucial time, let alone Khesuna.
The other two witch leaders hadn’t spoken yet, but their expressions were the same.
“From what I understand, you, my elder sisters, have yet to catch suitable magical pets for yourself.” Alice’s age was insignificant in front of these witches. Naturally, she lowered herself and tried to win the witches’ favor by using a more gentle tone.
“You have a suitable recommendation?” Khesuna appeared moved.
“How about a Fourth Grade dragon pet?” Alice smiled, intentionally keeping things in the dark.
Having said that, Circe turned and left without looking back.
Alice’s tightly gripped fists finally loosened when she heard this.
She had always been careful and on guard against moves from the other witch branches all this while. She couldn’t easily trust any of them, even those who were outwardly friendly toward here.
The main reason for that was the existence of the first Fate Witch!
According to the path of the past Battles of Fate, Alice had been destined to die inside the Tower of Fate. Everything she owned would then have become the nutrition that the new Witch of Fate’s clone required to grow. However, it was the existence of a variable like herself that caused the ten-thousand-year plan of the First Fate Witch to come up empty.
She had already become an annoying prick in the eyes of a major character somewhere in the outer realms ever since she had become the official leader of the Fate Witches. If it weren’t for the protection of the World of Adepts’ world consciousness, Alice would already be a pile of bones. She would have fallen to the schemes of the immensely powerful first Fate Witch.
The fact that Alice was still alive wasn’t because she was smart, or because the enemy couldn’t do anything to her. It was because the enemy needed her alive!
One could imagine that if the first Fate Witch used her methods to kill Alice, then the massive amount of Fate power that Alice had gathered would return to the World of Adepts. It would not benefit the First at all.
However, if she allowed Alice to grow up, Alice would eventually ascend past Fourth Grade and be forced to step out of the World of Adepts. When that happened, Alice would be a ripe, fresh fruit. All the First had to do was pluck it, and she would obtain everything that Alice currently possessed.
The plan might have deviated from the original, but the final result was the same.
As such, the first Fate Witch had been secretly manipulating and guiding Alice’s development over the past few years, with no intentions of killing her yet. However, the witch of the outer realm was unprecedentedly wicked and vicious against all variables that could interrupt the trajectory of Alice’s growth.
That was obvious from the disasters that had befallen Greem!
Since Circe had already expressed such sentiment, it meant that the entire Dark Witch faction would no longer interfere in the internal struggle between the two Fate Witches. That was great news for Alice!
If she could remove the influence of the first Fate Witch within the World of Adepts, and perhaps even turn it around, she could regain a certain degree of initiative in this severely imbalanced match.
Alice finally let out a heartfelt smile with a guarantee like this!
Khesuna had no interest in Circe and Alice’s secret. She was more interested in the internal environment and foreign laws of Lance. Only by taking these factors into consideration could she maximize the chances of capturing the Wings of Azure Sky.
Alice introduced Khesuna to Greem without any hesitation!
