Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2192: Chapter 2187: Doll Ascension

So how should this be addressed?

Occult prosthesis? Ascending dolls?

In just a brief glimpse, it was clear that all the flesh on Ailuo’s forearm had been entirely scraped off and replaced with combed cotton.

Not to mention the creative source, the craftsmanship alone is worth praising.

The final effect is also impressive, as it fully retains mobility.

The place that immediately came to the Witch’s mind is indeed extraordinary.

”You could say that, so what else have you discovered?”

And the Witch clearly doesn’t need confirmation to know what Fu Qian is referring to.

Earlier, indicating to approach and greet was clearly to experience it closely.

”Also... the weather’s nice, but it’s too hot.”

Even before the conversation ended, faced with the Witch’s new question, Fu Qian pondered for a moment and brought up the awkward topic from before.

”That’s right, maybe that thing was painted too big.”

The Witch’s reaction seems somewhat unconventional, as she pointed up overhead in the next moment.

...

Is it really underground?

Fu Qian looked at the sky, with even some clouds.

Honestly, at first glance, the view still feels quite natural.

If it weren’t for the fact that nothing has moved since just now.

Located underground, the dolls’ workshop, with the occult prosthesis ascending workers, under the painted sky sheltering it, has created countless stocks over the long years...

It must be said that the combination of so many elements does make the view somewhat intriguing.

”So how did you initially discover this place?”

In admiration, Fu Qian became curious about the scene when the Witch discovered this place years ago.

”As I mentioned to you before, after birth, I wandered around, instinctively wanting to find traces of ’mother,’ but without much success.”

The Witch didn’t mind sharing this with the Knight, briefly lost in memory.

”Then I started trying places that are relatively more transcendent than the real world, like dreams, and later the World Within the Painting.”

”And this place is quite special, fundamentally it’s reality, but it has some rather abstract properties... Then I stayed here for a while.”

...

I see, it’s evident she is well-acquainted with this place.

Watching the Witch stroll around the houses, Fu Qian could almost imagine the same scene years ago.

Although the humans inside are somewhat peculiar, at least they can still communicate, and compared to the outside Doomsday scene, at first glance, there’s a touch of paradise here; it’s no wonder the Witch made this choice.

Don’t forget, even in the World Within the Painting, the state of the people is far from normal.

”So what do you think could be the cause of this special property?”

Empathy is just one aspect; Fu Qian was naturally very interested in what the Witch acknowledged as special.

”This was a question I was curious about the first time I came here, even though it’s deep underground, it doesn’t lack connections with the outside.”

While speaking, the Witch suddenly stopped, seemingly sensing something.

”Even this connection is related to the abstract properties I just mentioned.”

Before finishing her sentence, she had already reached out, as if grasping in the void.

Poof!

The next moment, the void seemed to truly break, a splash of blood spilling out.

Though it dissipated into invisibility before hitting the ground, Fu Qian seemed to hear a strange crying nearby.

It sounded like a baby, or a lamb, or both.

To Fu Qian, it wasn’t a wail from the Witch’s action, but an attack after being exposed.

Besides the crying, the main focus was clearly on psychological impact.

Though he felt no impact due to his magic immunity state.

”Can you see it like this?”

The Witch, unsurprisingly, didn’t flinch, with her hand still extended, gently turning to Fu Qian to confirm, as if holding a specimen.

”I see it.”

The Pontiff was quite accommodating to the dull-witted Knight, and there’s no way Fu Qian would slack off.

Not to mention the Witch’s bold action seemed nearly to drag the attacker from the void.

Though nothing visible was in front, Fu Qian easily grasped what landed in the Witch’s hand using the Calamity Perspective.

Even the struggling of the other side.

...

”From the Doomsday?”

Though the abstract perspective made the specific outline less visible, the ranking was quite clear.

Behind the void, that thing undeniably possessed divinity, far more powerful than typical Demigods.

Just unfortunate that after being disturbed, the attack was futile, and the other side clearly caught a whiff of crisis, now desperately trying to break free.

Observing this scene, Fu Qian confirmed again.

”Yes, and it should be related to us... It probably can’t usually capture this place.”

The Witch acknowledged Fu Qian’s question and seemingly spoke with her hand brushing over a hint of chill.

Fu Qian seemed to hear a sound of shattering.

In this action, the Calamity Eye symbolizing disaster quietly dissipated.

Since the target that was locked on has ceased to exist, all malice and struggle fall into void.

”Our arrival seems to have caused a special disturbance, letting it sense this place quickly.”

Effortlessly crushing the target, the Witch’s little lesson continued, sharing her personal insights.

Reasonable, otherwise it’s hard to believe this place could be maintained for so long.

Fu Qian had no doubt about the Witch’s judgment.

Moreover, causing disturbance is one thing, such swift contact proves this place has unusual properties indeed.

The Witch indeed found an appropriate demonstration tool.

”Similar to the Other Shore of the Stars Association? Honestly, I think the level is somewhat lacking.”

While contemplating, Fu Qian also offered his thoughts.

”Indeed it’s lacking a bit, but it inherently has some conceptual sensitivity, ultimately showing particular vulnerability; it’s quite surprising it survived the previous legal revival.”

Casually agreeing, the Witch extended her hand again, touching the void.

”Because the other end of the connection might not be ordinary Extraordinary Creatures.”

True.

This time, Fu Qian didn’t need the Witch’s help to locate what she pointed out.

Intense heat.

Just now, saying the Sun was too big seemed a far cry from the heat felt here.

This time, behind the void, there appeared a fractured realm of chaotic forces, extremely unstable.

The endless conflict and tearing make everything heated, surging into a sea like lava.

And this ”sea” is raising giant waves, seemingly ready to pour in the next moment, consuming everything—

”So you think if the world changes imperceptibly, this place might respond?”

While showing understanding of the Witch’s view, Fu Qian detonated a Calamity Eye, instantly calming the agitated ”lava.”
