God Simulator: The Goddesses In The Simulation Are All Real

Chapter 98: Reality Is A Vicious Cycle

The Witch of Explosion's dark fireball seethed with destructive energy, its mixture of scarlet and black hues glowing ominously as it raced toward Linsley and Magia Fleur.

In response, Magia Fleur twirled her magical wand, her voice steady as she called out, "Petal Shield!" Stay tuned to m-v l|e'-NovelBin.net

A cascade of pink petals appeared and wove together, forming a radiant barrier between them and the oncoming attack.

But Magia Fleur knew full well that her shield alone wouldn't stand a chance against the Witch's formidable witchery. Her faith, however, rested not in her own strength, but in Linsley, who had promised to back her up.

As expected, just as the shield formed, an invisible force enveloped it, reinforcing the petals with a nearly indestructible layer of protection.

The dark fireball exploded violently upon impact, but the petals remained unscathed, the explosion dissipating harmlessly against the barrier. Both Linsley and Magia Fleur stood unharmed within.

The Witch of Explosion scowled as her attack failed to make any mark. She snarled and raised her arms, chanting furiously as another, even larger fireball materialized above her. This one pulsed with an even more intense mixture of colors, ready to obliterate anything in its path.

Magia Fleur, unfazed, quickly moved into action. She flicked her wand, summoning a series of dazzling pink lights that shot forward like arrows. "Blossom Flurry!"

The Witch of Explosion snarled in response, releasing her next blast of witchery. The massive fireball shot forward, crashing into the Blossom Flurry, but Linsley was already one step ahead.

With his invisible force coating the flurry, the fireball was once again deflected, shattering into embers as the petals continued their barrage toward the Witch.

The Witch of Explosion unleashed more blasts, each more violent than the last. Her attacks shook the ground and lit up the battlefield with their intensity, but Magia Fleur's coordination with Linsley was flawless.

Every spell she cast—whether it was the elegant "Petal Rain" that showered down from the sky or the protective "Rose Fortress" that blocked incoming witchery—was fortified by Linsley's invisible force.

The Witch of Explosion, despite her superior form and strength, was gradually overwhelmed. Each of her witcheries met with failure as Magia Fleur's reinforced magic countered her every move.

She growled in frustration, her eyes burning with fury as she summoned a final, desperate attack.

With a shriek, she launched a massive explosion that could obliterate anything in its path.

"Petal Cannon!" Magia Fleur shouted, her wand emitting a blinding pink light.

A gigantic wave of energy, infused with Linsley's invisible force, surged forward.

The two powers collided in midair, the impact creating a shockwave that rippled through the battlefield.

For a moment, everything was still.

Then, with a loud crack, the Witch of Explosion's attack crumbled, and she was thrown back by the force of the impact.

The Witch of Explosion collapsed, unconscious, defeated.

Magia Fleur approached the fallen Witch cautiously, wand still in hand. She looked to Linsley, who gave a nod of approval.

"She's alive," Linsley remarked. "Let's keep her that way."

Magia Fleur raised an eyebrow. "You're not planning on... experimenting on her, are you?"

Linsley smirked. "Perhaps. Witches were once magical girls, after all. I'm curious if there's a way to reverse the corruption."

Magia Fleur sighed but didn't argue. "Fine. But you'd better know what you're doing."

Linsley's gaze hardened as he looked down at the Witch of Explosion. "The experiment can wait. First, we'll need to secure the authority of the World God. Once I have that power, we'll see if there's a way to undo what's been done."

Linsley wasn't the type to kill indiscriminately, nor was he narrow-minded enough to eliminate everyone who showed hostility toward him. However, he wasn't naive either; sparing enemies wasn't an option unless there was a good reason or benefit for him.

In this case, the reason he chose not to kill the Witch of Explosion was because she was significantly weaker than him. He had absolute confidence that no matter what, she wouldn't be able to mount a comeback strong enough to threaten him.

If someone on his level showed hostility, no matter how tragic their backstory, Linsley wouldn't hesitate to eliminate them unless it served his interests to spare them.

With the Witch of Explosion, he had a feeling there was more to her story. After knocking her out, Linsley decided to read her memories to assess whether she deserved to live.

As expected, the Witch of Explosion had once been just a regular girl, much like Seraphina, driven by a desire to fight for justice and protect the greater good.

But that dream was shattered when outer god lackeys defeated and violated her. The only reason she survived the ordeal was her unique talent as well as willpower, which allowed her to resist the corruption and ultimately turn into a Witch.

After becoming a Witch, she gained enough power to take revenge on her tormentors. But even after exacting her revenge, her mind was already broken, corrupted beyond repair.

Linsley sighed, "Reality is nothing but a vicious cycle."

The good are oppressed by the evil, and when the evil succeed, they twist the good into something as twisted as they are. In turn, these new evildoers corrupt others, but their atrocities eventually provoke the good to rise up in resistance.

A never-ending cycle of suffering and corruption.

Linsley wanted to change the world and create a utopia. But even he knew that was nothing more than a delusional and idealistic dream.

Hardship and suffering were what made people resilient, tempering them and making them stronger.

After all, how could someone who had been sheltered and never faced adversity hope to defeat those who had endured a hellish world?

Perhaps there were others like him who had become powerful enough to change the entire universe. But in the end, they, too, understood this truth and chose not to alter the status quo.

It would be naive and delusional for him to believe he could fix all the tragedies across the infinite realities.

'Let's not get ahead of ourselves,' he thought. 'First, I'll free Terra from the Outer God. Then, I can begin my plan to liberate the entire infinite realities from the enslavement of the Outer God Race.'
