Chapter 95: A Witch Has Appeared
Hearing Flora's words, Linsley nodded. "I'm ready, but how and where will I meet the World Will?"
It wasn't the first time Linsley had encountered the World Will, as Evangeline had faced the Will of the Avatar World in the goddess simulation.
The default form of most World Wills was just a big ball of light. It was up to them if they wanted to take a human form, an animal form, or any other shape they wished to represent themselves. But by default, they appeared as a big ball of light since they were the collective consciousness of the world.
In response to his question, Flora said, "I'll give you the coordinates of the dimension where the World Will will meet you."
Afterward, Flora extended its hand, and Linsley touched it with his index finger. The coordinates of the World Will's dimension were then transmitted to his mind.
With the coordinates now known, Linsley was about to leave when he heard a loud explosion several streets away.
Hearing the explosion, both Flora and Seraphina were startled. Seraphina asked, "Is there another fight in the battlefield dimension?"
Flora, already prepared, summoned the magical girl wand so Seraphina could transform and enter the battlefield dimension.
Although the Avatar Syndicate had been established and the casualties among the resistance were drastically reduced, that hadn't truly weakened the Outer God Association.
After all, in most cases, the Outer God's lackeys wouldn't truly die, as they could be resurrected by the Outer God's clone to continue the battle.
As for why the Outer God's clone didn't take direct action against the resistance, one reason was due to being suppressed by the World Will, and the other was due to its interest in harvesting the negative emotions produced by the resistance.
The Outer God grew stronger by both devouring the world's origin and absorbing the negative emotions and suffering of living creatures. Compared to the former, the latter yielded lesser results but was still better than nothing.
Because of that, after the Outer God devoured a world's origin, it would usually occupy the world, allowing suffering and chaos to spread so it could constantly gain the negative emotions of the inhabitants of that corrupted world.
While the negative emotions of one world might not be enough, the Outer God didn't stop at devouring and corrupting a single world but targeted many others. The accumulated negative emotions from countless worlds amounted to a considerable sum.
Most gods became World Gods of a world to generate faith, which would be transformed into divine power. The Outer God, however, sought to make the living beings in a world suffer and absorb their negative emotions instead of faith.
There were also evil gods who copied the Outer God's methods, relying on the negative emotions of living beings. Some even managed to replicate the Outer God's technique of devouring a world's origin.
In most cases, neutral and even good gods didn't care about the actions of evil gods causing suffering, as it was just another method of obtaining divinity.
It was rare for even good gods to care about the lives of inferior creatures. Because of this, evil gods weren't persecuted by the universe for causing suffering, as it was linked to their godhood.
However, if any god were to replicate the Outer God's method of devouring a world's origin—whether they were good or evil—they would be labeled as traitors, even if they hadn't colluded with the Outer God.
Linsley knew this because of the knowledge and information he received from the Will of the Universe after he became a Median True God.
A Median True God might be weak compared to the infinite realities, but they were still stronger than most, capable of dealing with the cannon fodder among the Outer Gods.
As a result, Median True Gods were more than qualified to know basic information. Once a being became a Median True God and their existence was recognized by the universe, they would receive knowledge considered common sense among the gods.

Since the Outer God's clone didn't take the initiative to wipe out the resistance, the avatar masters in the Avatar Syndicate, who had the power to prevent the resurrection of the Outer God's lackeys, didn't act to completely kill them to avoid alarming the clone.
Thus, the influence of the Avatar Syndicate only managed to decrease the casualties on the resistance's side, while allowing Linsley to obtain information from around the world.
Because of this, the battles in the battlefield dimension hadn't stopped yet, and Linsley and Seraphina often entered the battlefield dimension to clean up the Outer God's lackeys.
Due to Linsley's command, the city where he and Seraphina resided was off-limits, and the Avatar Syndicate couldn't interfere with the Outer God's lackeys there.
To prevent any suspicion, not only Linsley's city but other smaller, lesser-known cities were also off-limits. The only exception would be if a magical girl or mecha driver from one of those cities requested assistance from the Avatar Syndicate—then they could intervene.
However, for larger, more prominent cities, the influence of the Avatar Syndicate was concentrated there.
Because of this, Linsley and Seraphina weren't idle in the city. Their date plans not only included eating out and walking in the park but also battling the Outer God's lackeys as Phantom Reaper and Magia Fleur.
When the explosion occurred, Seraphina was about to transform to deal with the Outer God's lackey, but Linsley stopped her.
"Wait, I don't think it's an Outer God's lackey. From what I sensed, the explosion happened in the real world, not in the battlefield dimension."
"And from the appearance and power of the perpetrator, she seems to be a Witch?"
When Linsley mentioned that the explosion occurred in the real world, Seraphina's expression became solemn. Even the Outer God's lackeys wouldn't dare cause destruction in the real world, as it would be counterproductive to destroy and kill those they enslaved.
But when Linsley clarified that the perpetrator of the explosion wasn't an Outer God lackey but a Witch, Seraphina sighed and asked, "Do you know which Witch it is? It's been a long time since I fought one."
