God Simulator: The Goddesses In The Simulation Are All Real

Chapter 96: Witches And Dark Mechas

Hearing Seraphina's question, if it had been a week ago, Linsley wouldn't have been able to answer her, as even Seraphina knew more about Terra's supernatural side than he did.

But after becoming the hidden boss of the Avatar Syndicate, Linsley had already gathered information from all over the world and memorized it using his Photographic Memory (Purple) talent.

Moreover, the Witch that appeared in the city wasn't an unknown or newly born one but rather an infamous figure.

Linsley replied, "If I'm not mistaken, she should be the Witch of Explosion. The Witch of Explosion is usually active in the more prominent cities in this country, so I'm not sure why she's changed her hunting grounds to our lesser-known city."

Aside from magical girls, mecha drivers, and Outer God lackeys, there were also Witches and Dark Mechas.

When a magical girl became corrupted, there was a chance they'd fall and become a Witch.

The same applied to mecha drivers—once corrupted, they'd become Dark Mechas.

Unlike the Outer God's lackeys, Witches and Dark Mechas were a third faction, hostile to both the Resistance and the Outer God Association.

After all, it was the Outer God Association that caused their degeneration and corruption. So it was rare for Witches and Dark Mechas to collaborate with the Outer God's lackeys.

Dark Mechas, in particular, were different because, unlike Witches, they were mecha drivers who had merged with their mecha armor, losing their consciousness and becoming more like animals, relying purely on instinct.

Or rather, Dark Mechas were a fusion of the mecha armor, the driver, and the AI that controlled the armor. When those three combined, using corruption as a catalyst, they became Dark Mechas.

Only a few Dark Mechas retained consciousness. In most cases, Dark Mechas had a singular goal—to destroy everything in sight.

Because of this, Dark Mechas rarely lived for long. Once they turned, they fought until death, destroying everything around them, which often led to the Outer God Association eliminating them.

Witches, on the other hand, were different. In most cases, they retained their consciousness. Even if they developed a second, darker personality, they were still sentient and capable of fleeing instead of fighting to the death, unlike Dark Mechas.

Dark Mechas grew stronger by devouring the flesh of living creatures or consuming the mecha armors of other drivers. Witches, however, grew stronger depending on their witchery.

Nevertheless, all Witches gained power by feeding on the negative emotions of living creatures. Beyond that, their strength also depended on the nature of their witchery.

For example, the Witch of Lust, with the Witchery of Lust, grew stronger by causing suffering and absorbing negative emotions, as this was the common method for Witches. However, she could also gain power by feeding off the lust of others.

In fact, Witches and Dark Mechas grew stronger much faster. If this world was a cultivation world, they'd be considered demonic cultivators, or those walking the demonic path, making it natural for them to progress more quickly than those on the orthodox path.

The Witch of Explosion was a relatively powerful witch. Although she hadn't reached the Fourth Form yet and couldn't defeat a Magical Princess, she was still at the peak of the Third Form.

For comparison, Magia Fleur was only at the peak of the Second Form, so for a city this weak, the Witch of Explosion shouldn't have any interest in this place.

Hearing Linsley's doubts, Seraphina pondered, "Unless it's because you established the Avatar Syndicate? After all, the Avatar Syndicate might not interfere with weaker cities, but because of that, they've concentrated their manpower in larger, more prominent cities."

"Because of this, unless the Witches were at the Fourth Form, those at the Third Form and below would likely move to weaker cities, knowing that the influence of the Avatar Syndicate isn't strong in those areas."

Listening to Seraphina's words, Linsley muttered, "Well, that's true. I hadn't thought of that problem. I'll contact Hellhound and tell him to allocate at least one Zenith Avatar Master to every city."

Linsley then summoned an invisible tentacle at the Avatar Syndicate's headquarters and used it to write his command on paper with a pen.

Since he could summon his invisible tentacles within the range of his divine perception, even though the Avatar Syndicate's headquarters was located on another continent, Linsley could still write a letter using his tentacle and command Hellhound from afar.

Although he could do the same by summoning invisible hands to type on a keyboard and send an email, digital communications could easily be traced by the Outer God Association, so a physical letter was far more reliable.

After commanding Hellhound, Linsley asked, "Seraphina, do you want to deal with the Witch of Explosion? I'll assist you so you can fight to your heart's content."

Hearing Linsley's offer, Seraphina immediately nodded. "Thanks in advance! I'm too weak compared to the Witch of Explosion, but I really want to defeat her! She dared to run rampant in the real world, and some civilians might already have been killed by her."

Regarding the civilians killed by the Witch of Explosion, Seraphina could only mourn them. However, she wasn't harsh enough on herself to be shaken by such deaths or blame herself for it.

After all, Linsley had already assured her that if everything went well, he could defeat the Outer God and work with the World Will to resurrect those who had died.

Seraphina had many magical girl friends who had teamed up with her, but even her magical girl team was destroyed, leaving her as the only one. She also wanted to resurrect them.

"Linsley, remove my traces since I'll have to leave the villa in my magical girl outfit, and this might be captured by the security cameras."

Normally, this wouldn't be a problem if Seraphina transformed in the villa and then entered the battlefield dimension, but since the Witch of Explosion was running rampant in the real world and not the battlefield dimension, Seraphina faced this issue. Explore hidden tales at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net

Linsley nodded, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
