Otaku Witch

The spiritual energy emanating from the body of the Evil Buddha inexplicably dispersed; although Dorothy was puzzled by this, she couldn't find it and had no choice but to accept reality.

She refocused her gaze on Izanagi across from her.

This disgraced final boss of Japan still couldn't accept reality and was kneeling on the ground in despair, mumbling incomprehensible words.

"No, impossible, I am the one with the Heavenly Mandate, how could I lose."

"Others can borrow the fortune of the Sage, why can't I."

"Damn it, why do those lowly people always oppose me."

"I haven't lost yet, the Immortal Technique failed, but I still have the Abyssal Protection."

"Yes, the Abyssal Protection, as long as I can reach the Abyss, someday I will rise again."

......

Izanagi looked hatefully at that awful New Saint and then activated the Abyssal Protection granted by the Demon God.

Indeed, as the Demon God said, the Abyss was now fully protecting her. Izanagi easily connected with the power of the Abyss, and then an abyssal rift opened behind her, from which countless demons swarmed out.

"Great Abyss, I offer you a sacrifice as the creator of Japan, please accept my offering and grant me new strength."

At this point, she finally realized her foolishness in using Immortal Techniques against a Sage; if the Immortal Technique failed, then Magic was the way to go.

And indeed, the Greedy Demon God had the best reputation among Demon Gods, and his blessings were genuine, not a trick. The Abyss was indeed favoring her, and with her call, the mighty power of the Abyss surged towards her.

The powerful Abyssal force used her as a beacon, tearing open a rift in space, and then a horrific and sinister-looking demon clawed its way out of the rift.

Soon, the rift grew larger, and the corrupt Power of Blasphemy dispersed in all directions, with the air beginning to fill with the scent of sulfur. Using the first demon as a cue, an endless demon legion began charging out of the rift, like a horde of students rushing to the cafeteria after school.

Demons, a race more terrifying than witches in warfare.

But perhaps the term "warfare race" isn't suitable for demons. After all, witches wage wars to gather resources, not for indiscriminate killing; some impoverished and weak worlds aren't even worth the effort for the witches.

But demons are different. These monsters born from the sins of the Abyss are inherently destructive, craving annihilation, feeding on others' despair and fear.

Whatever world is discovered by demons and captured by the Abyss, they spare none, regardless of strength or weakness.

Since the matter was already exposed, the Witch World was no longer suitable for her. Izanagi made a ruthless decision, intending to sacrifice all of Japan to the Abyss, as her capital upon converting to a demon.

"Devour, destroy, if I can't have it, then no one can."

Now somewhat deranged, Izanagi laughed madly at the demon legion she had summoned.

These local Heavenly Demons of the Western Universe were not of the Eastern Universe's power; she was curious to see what effect the Power of the Sage would have on these barbarian demons.

........

And at Celestial Peak Mountain, in the Amaterasu Shrine, Amaterasu Life Kikyo reached for the Japanese bow beside her. The Great Divine Witch drew and aimed an arrow, gathering the light of the Sun into an arrowhead.

She was ready to support the New Holy One at any moment.

But soon, she put down the Japanese bow with some confusion, dispelled the Sun Arrow, and her usually cold face showed slight surprise.

"As expected of the New Holy One, to be able to even subdue demons."

Miss Divine Witch sighed in such admiration.

........

And the smile on Izanagi's face froze.

She saw that the demon army, roaring and bursting out of the abyssal rift, initially sneered with intentions to destroy. But suddenly, they seemed to sense something, turning in unison towards the New Saint and then stood frozen.

In that instant, a demon army tens of thousands strong simultaneously knelt on the ground, showing their submission to the New Saint.

Izanagi: "?????"

What is going on, what happened? Wasn't I supposed to be the one with the Abyssal Protection? Why are those demons bowing to that New Saint?

Of course, it wasn't just her who was baffled; even the Homebody Witch across from her was taken aback.

When the abyssal rift appeared, her expression had already changed, feeling ominous.

The Sage's Authority works well against Immortal's Techniques, but it holds no intimidation over these Abyssal Demons.

After all, an official in the province can handle immediate issues better; her influence wasn't great enough to enforce laws across universes.

In fact, this Sage status could even backfire in front of Abyssal Demons. After all, the Saint's Soul is pure and immaculate, and demons are most attracted to shining souls.

Back during the Witch's Night, her first cycle's soul, transformed into a meteor, directly attracted Prideful Lucifer, one of the Seven Demon Gods.

If it weren't for Father Adam's impressive feat of winning a gamble against the Demon God, she most likely would have been taken to the Abyss by the Demon God.

Indeed, in that scenario, there might not have been a witch named Dorothy, but a Devil King Dorothy instead.

A soul like hers was as enticing to demons as the legendary meat of Tang Xuanzang.

So, seeing the demons invading en masse, the Homebody Witch decisively admitted defeat, already placing her hand on the Judgment Order, ready to call for support from the Judgment Court outside of Japan.
