Chapter 672: Love Across Space-Time (Part 2)
However, she was used to it, after all, emotions were a luxury for members of the Royal Family.
Although Lord Demon King had a large harem, most of it was just for marriage alliances, and for this Mother Superior, her children were just strands of Magic Power given spirit.
Which witch would have excessive feelings for her own Magic Power?
Besides, Mother's attitude towards her was already much better than towards her other sisters. At least she was willing to put on a facade of enthusiasm for her.
"How have you been doing lately at the Judgment Court?"
After sitting back down, Astimos proactively asked her daughter.
"Pretty good."
Wendy nodded, then remembered something and added.
"Mother Superior, I recently met a rather interesting Grand Inquisitor who carries your aura."
The Wendigo girl recalled the Clown Grand Inquisitor she met not long ago in the Torture Department.
"Is that my sister?"
That Clown Grand Inquisitor carried an even richer aura of the Demon King's favor than the Demon King's own daughter. Wendy had reason to suspect that was Mother Superior's other daughter, a real Princess who was very favored by Mother Superior.
"Pfft....."
Lord Demon King, who had just taken a sip of tea, sprayed it out on the spot.
Astimos instantly knew who her daughter was talking about, but how could she have such a daughter?
"She's not, I don't, stop talking nonsense."
She hurriedly explained.
Just at that moment, the water she had just sprayed out froze in mid-air, and time seemed to pause.
Lord Demon King immediately sensed the situation and frowned deeply.
Who was so bold to dare provoke her on her turf?
But when Astimos slightly sensed the situation, the Witch King was also stunned.
Because at that instant, not only was the Demon King's Castle affected, but the entire Western Universe was frozen in time.
How could such a thing be possible?
The casting difficulty of the Time Stop Magic depends on the target world's Level. It's easy to stop time in small worlds, but to stop the time of large worlds requires at least a Ten-Ring Forbidden Spell to start with.
However, even the highest Twelve-Ring Time Stop Forbidden Spell finds it challenging to completely stop time in the highest-level Calamity World like the Witch World, let alone directly stopping the entire Western Universe.
Even Astimos, the Demon King herself, does not possess such power, for if one were to freeze the entire Western Universe, one would need the Strength to suppress the entire Western Universe, an ability to simultaneously suppress heaven, Abyss, Dragon Island, Witch World, and other powerful races.
Only a God with Omniscience and Omnipotence could do such a thing, but there is no God in the Western Universe.
"Oh no, God King Teacher has messed up, did a Saint intervene?"
The first thought in Lord Demon King's mind was this possibility.
And just as this thought crossed her mind, in that instant, she sensed a star starting to shine in the north, and subsequently, the stars began to revolve around it.
Finally, an unnameable Giant stood in the endless void, clothed in stars, with the sun and the moon as eyes, and the world revolved around Him, everything moving with His will.
Astimos's pupils clearly reflected the image of this Giant of the Stars.
Then, in the next moment, that Star God had already appeared beside her, joining the tea party.
"Who are you?"
Lord Demon King's body was tense, ready for battle, as she asked.
"Hehe, take a guess?"
The unclear-featured incarnation of the stars just giggled, then reached out to pat Astimos's head.
"It's you?"
Lord Demon King's pupils contracted suddenly, then her whole body relaxed.
"What a scare... I thought a real Saint was coming."
"Uh, you could recognize me just by touch? You have indeed secretly liked me all along."
Feeling a bit let down at being recognized immediately, the star incarnation said flatly.
"Nonsense, I obviously like the Teacher, you narcissist, get lost."
Astimos blushed, then retorted angrily.
"For you, it was merely the influence of God King Teacher's power, implanting a memory that never existed."
Lord Demon King emphasized.
"Yeah, yeah, got it."
The star incarnation smiled, continuing to pat the young girl on the head before her.
For a long time, He lowered His hand and bid farewell.
"Alright, this Izanagi doesn't hold well with fire, I need to go back."
"Wait..."
Astimos suddenly stopped the departing Star God with a somewhat unbothered expression and asked.
"You are her in the future, right? Then why take the trouble to come see me? Shouldn't you go see God King Teacher?"
"How do you know I didn't see my sister? You little weakling have no idea what it means to be Omniscient and Omnipotent; I can visit many people simultaneously."
The Star God blinked with those sun-and-moon eyes, saying.
"You...."
Lord Demon King was furiously angry.
But in the next moment, she was embraced by the Star God.
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. This time I just came to see you, really not lying, all because Izanagi was too weak, with not enough power to go around. After showing off, I could only see one person, and who made you the least reliable, huh."
Astimos struggled, but her resistance dwindled, ultimately succumbing to calm.
"Teacher, I've been waiting for you, I missed you."
Artie buried her face in the chest of the Star God, crying terribly.
While the Star God tenderly caressed the head of the girl in His arms.
"Mm, sorry for keeping you waiting so long before, so this time I came a bit earlier."
She said, then disappeared into nothingness.
This time it indeed burned out completely.
And so, the time of the Western Universe flowed once more.
"Mother Superior, your reaction is too obvious."
Having had a face full of tea sprayed by Mother Superior, the Wendigo girl calmly wiped her face and displayed a 'the truth is out there' expression.
Hmm, if there really was no relation between that Clown Grand Inquisitor and Mother Superior, would Mother Superior react so strongly?
"No wonder I once sneaked into your room as a child and found it covered with photos of a little girl, and you've also frequently left over the years under the pretense of taking care of a child. That sister sure is favored by you."
Wendy just found the Japanese tea a bit sour.
"Child, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Usually, Lord Demon King would be enraged and embarrassed, but today, she was in a good mood and forgave her foolish daughter.
Astimos just turned to look at the Magic Network projection screen nearby.
Lord Demon King liked watching various entertainment shows, music, and dance performances, and in the Witch World, it was no secret. In fact, before she ascended the throne, she had even appeared on a Magic Network variety show herself.
Currently, the screen in the garden was displaying footage from back then.
[Host: Miss Astimos, you are so young and beautiful; surely you have many pursuers. Do you have anyone you fancy?]
[Astimos: I do.]
[Host: There's actually someone? I can hear hearts breaking in front of the screen. You are a heartthrob. ]
[Astimos: Hehe, sorry everyone, you came too late. I had my heart set before I was born.]
[Host: So early? Well, a Genius Witch like you being conscious before birth makes sense. Seems like your sweetheart is someone around you.]
[Astimos: Yes, specifics are inconvenient to disclose, I can only say she was once my Teacher and a Dragon Witch.]
[Host: Ahh, a student-teacher relationship? Miss Astimos certainly lives up to being a Demon Witch, delving into the forbidden. Their feelings must be deep.]
[Astimos: Sobs, Teacher doesn't like me, she prefers Angels over Demons, but I won't give up.]
......
This was footage from tens of thousands of years ago when the Magic Network was just emerging. Miss Astimos, a budding witch as the creator of the Magic Network, was invited to participate in a dating variety show.
It was also the root of the now infamous Three Kings of Love rumor.
........
Spirit World, Japan.
"Ahchoo...."
Dorothy, who had been searching for the scattered Spiritual Energy of Izanagi for a long time, sneezed hard.
"Damn, Spiritual Energy actually sprouted legs and ran; how absurd."
