Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 44

In the boundless light.

Leon curled up in pain. The dazzling light around him made it impossible to open his eyes, and his skin felt as if it were being burned.

The phantom eye, covered in intricate ancient runes, had passed through the sunlight and appeared before Leon’s spiritual body.

A low, hoarse, phantom voice sounded in Leon’s ear.

This voice was unlike any human language, yet he could inexplicably understand it.

“Interesting, you have the scent of a True Believer on you, but not the heart of faith in Taige.”

Leon was in too much pain to utter any words, he could only listen quietly as It spoke.

“Do you want to make a deal?”

Why did this sentence sound so strangely familiar?

Wasn’t this what he often said to others?

“I will give you power, you help me find the other parts of my body.”

The phantom voice repeated with a tone of temptation.

Perhaps sensing that Leon was too weak to answer, It thoughtfully relieved Leon’s state of pain.

Leon’s pain gradually disappeared, and a spire-topped church appeared before him.

A phantom eye hung above the church.

Layers upon layers of whispers sounded in his ear.

“Make a deal…”

“Make a deal…”

“Make a deal with me…”

“You can gain power…”

“And all I need is to find my body…”

Leon frowned. Although his mind was clear and his soul no longer felt the ripping pain, he still felt a strong aversion to these whispers.

It was like the whispering of a devil in his ear.

According to the records in the 《Holy Scripture》, before Jia Ri’s body was scattered by Taige, It was considered to be of the rank of a companion god, also known as a pseudo-god.

Because in this world, only one true god could exist, Jia Ri, who desired progress too much, united with the other two pseudo-gods, wanting to kill Taige.

Taige sensed Their plot and ultimately scattered Their bodies, leaving only the part where divinity was solidified. This part was immortal and indestructible, would never dissipate, but was also cast out of the Entry World.

Now, it seems, They were not completely expelled and still wish to return through various means.

Even this 【Eye of Misfortune】 wants to find the other parts of Jia Ri’s body.

But do the other parts of Its body truly still exist?

The 《Holy Scripture》 clearly records that Jia Ri was left with only one eye.

Was the record mistaken, or has Jia Ri’s consciousness become confused?

Of course, this is not the time to consider such things.

Leon gathered his thoughts and said calmly,

“I refuse.”

“Why refuse? Do you not crave power? Look, in your weakness, you cannot even look directly at my eye, like an ant crawling on the ground, I can easily crush you.”

The less-than-real voice of the 【Eye of Misfortune】 sounded again.

Leon nodded, “You are just a projection, aren’t you? If you could truly crush me directly, you wouldn’t be making a deal with me. You simply want to tempt me, to stop me from clearing the 【Misfortune Constitution】 entries, so you can regain power through misfortune.”

It seemed Leon had seen through It.

The phantom eye narrowed, forcing out an expression that resembled a smile.

“Interesting, truly a clever little fellow.”

“Thank you for your compliment, Lord Companion God Jia Ri.”

“Become my follower, believe in me, I will give you everything you desire.”

The 【Eye of Misfortune】 said with appreciation. Leon had shown It a new possibility for confronting the God Taige.

Because he possessed a wondrous ability, clearing entries.

“My apologies, please make that promise after you become a true god. At present, you are merely a remnant that can only peer into this world through a projection.”

Leon refused the olive branch extended by the 【Eye of Misfortune】, because this olive branch was likely poisoned.

“It seems you don’t quite believe in my power.”

The 【Eye of Misfortune】 intended to teach Leon a lesson.

The feeling of pain enveloped Leon once more, and it was even more intense than before, as if sharp blades were peeling back his skin, cutting into his flesh, entering his brain, and tearing his spirit.

Red liquid flowed from his eyes, ears, and nose. His body felt as though it could break apart at any moment, like parts about to shatter, beginning to seek new hosts.

It seemed that even the projection of a pseudo-god’s remnant was not something a Two-Star Knight like himself could confront.

It’s alright. This was part of my test all along.

This much pain, he could endure by gritting his teeth.

Next, he would have to use his wits.

“Lord Jia Ri, would… you… like to hear my deal?”

“Oh?”

The 【Eye of Misfortune】 stopped tormenting him and looked at him with a smile.

Leon scrambled up from the ground, looking disheveled,

“Since you gain power by accumulating misfortune, why don’t we create a Museum of Misfortune?”

“Interesting.”

The 【Eye of Misfortune】 gestured for Leon to continue.

It believed that after enduring such pain, Leon would not be bragging.

At least what he said should have 60% credibility.

“In your current state, it must be difficult to directly enter the real world, right? You can only do so by entering the subconscious of 【Misfortune Constitution】 carriers. Every 【Misfortune Constitution】 carrier is an anchor for you to accumulate power. Only by having enough of these anchors can you truly gain the surging power of misfortune, like a tide, and truly achieve manifestation.”

As Leon spoke this, he realized that the 【Eye of Misfortune】 did not refute him, which proved his guess was correct.

This remnant gains power by continuously creating misfortune for others and accumulating the power of misfortune, only then can It return to this world.

Furthermore, the number of people It can influence is limited, otherwise It would easily draw the attention of the God Taige, leading to the ruin of Its entire plan.

“But the Entry World created by the God Taige follows the principle of balance. In such circumstances, the number of 【Misfortune Constitution】 entries is certainly limited. The people you can choose or gaze upon are few and far between. It is almost impossible for you to gain enough power to manifest.

“If we could create a Museum of Misfortune, artificially generating misfortune and causing countless people to gain new 【Misfortune】 entries in times of disaster, you could gather even more power of misfortune.”

“How do you plan to do that?”

The 【Eye of Misfortune】 looked at Leon.

“Let us wage a war. Under the ravages of war, countless people with tragic fates will surely be created. From among these people, we can select those who are the best vessels for the power of misfortune to enter the museum, allowing you to obtain the purest power of misfortune.”

As it turned out, even a companion god could not directly see the glittering 【Fraud Master】 entry above Leon’s head.

Of course, this could also be because the 【Eye of Misfortune】 was indeed just a remnant projection and was overly weak.

“This is a good method. It seems you have already decided where to wage war.”

“Of course, Rose Territory is a good choice. I know a woman named Mary Frank. She is an excellent vessel for carrying misfortune, the best collection piece for a Museum of Misfortune.”
