Otaku Witch

Just like that, Dorothy, who looked like a deity, arrived at the Royal Palace amid the welcoming procession of Moon Rabbits.

As the gates of the Royal City slowly closed, the previously noble and distant homebody witch immediately reverted to her true self.

"Wow, I'm dead tired."

The various phenomena around her were once again sealed and contained, and the restored Dorothy unceremoniously sprawled on the sofa in the Royal Palace's reception room, breathing heavily.

After all, when people think of the Moon God, they often conjure images of nobility, cool aloofness, beauty, and ladylike grace.

Unfortunately, the real Dorothy, aside from being genuinely beautiful, had nothing to do with these typical impressions of the Moon God, for she had just performed an exhausting act, barely daring to breathe too loudly for fear of accidentally revealing her masculine nature.

"Hey, Ruthfiel, was that enough just now? That should have left them with an image of a deity, right?"

After catching her breath, Dorothy turned to look at Miss Fallen Angel beside her.

As she did so, the other individuals in the parlor also shifted their gaze toward Ruthfiel, especially the High Priest and Knight Commander, the high-ranking Moon Rabbits, who regarded the fallen angel with a measure of wariness. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

This was inevitable since the reputation of fallen angels was not much better than that of demons - a combination of angel and demon represented a double threat.

"Both of you, please rest assured. This is my friend Ruthfiel, here to help establish a religious sect and build a pathway for faith. Although she is not exactly a saint, she is trustworthy, and I can vouch for that," Dorothy explained quickly, noticing the mood of the two Moon Rabbit leaders.

With her assurance, both the High Priest and Knight Commander relaxed slightly, although the wariness in their eyes persisted, which indeed showed how fearsome the reputation of the Fallen Angel Clan was.

However, Ruthfiel didn't really care about this; after all, in her eyes, except for her mistress's opinion, the thoughts of others were irrelevant to her, merely potential tools for manipulation.

Would you care about the opinion of the bread you're about to eat?

"Yes, it was sufficient, Miss. Your performance just now was indeed perfect; it really made me feel like you were a actual Nature God."

Facing her mistress's question, Ruthfiel watched her in awe before responding.

After all, the special effects and phenomena that had previously surrounded her mistress were incredibly realistic, except for the Angel's Ring turning into ribbons and those four angel wings, which revealed the disguise, Ruthfiel hadn't noticed any traces of casting spells in the other phenomena.

This made her feel deeply impressed by her mistress's mastery of magic; truly fitting for the person known as the Witch of the Forest.

Because that was indeed me playing myself.

Dorothy thought somewhat guiltily.

She didn't fully understand the nature of those innate special effects and phenomena, as they were inherently different from magic and were skills she had naturally mastered without learning, just as people naturally know how to breathe.

However, such a situation wasn't quite logical, since these phenomena typically only appeared in innate natural deities.

Of course, here, the 'deities' referred to aren't the Omniscient and Omnipotent beings pursued by the witches but those native, world-born nature deities who inherently control part of the world's laws and are worshipped and believed in by the lesser beings.

They are what the witches often refer to as Pseudo Gods.

The power of these Pseudo Gods often depends on the size of the world they are born from. A pseudo god from a powerful main world may not be weaker than those from the Calamity Race, whereas a pseudo god from a small world might even be defeated by mortals; thus, the upper and lower limits are quite erratic.

These naturally nurtured primordial deities are highly connected to the world, their existence itself a manifestation of the world consciousness, innately managing the functions of the world. Therefore, every time a Pseudo God appears, it is always accompanied by various natural phenomena.

For example, the emergence of the God of Wind comes with fierce winds, and wherever the Sun God appears, it is always daylight, etc.

Those natural phenomena are the tangible manifestations of the Pseudo Gods' authority and the visible representation of the heavenly mandates they bear.

Dorothy had once seen a research report on Pseudo Gods in the Magic Web Library. The report mentioned that in the distant Eastern Universe, Immortals had thoroughly researched this aspect. They even mastered the technique of officiating deities manually, able to endow natural divinity upon mortals, elevating them to the status of local gods like mountain gods or land gods.

In this respect, the witches lagged far behind the Immortals. However, the system of divine ranks in the Witch World could be seen as a kind of learning and improvement from the Pseudo Gods.

If one were to go by the normal worldly saying that those who are endowed with heavenly mandates are deities, then everyone in the Witch World could be considered a deity, as every witch possesses some degree of heavenly mandate.

If a witch's heavenly mandate is elevated to a certain level, her body would also display those characteristic phenomena of deities.

For instance, if the Witch King or any of the Three Kings were to appear without restraint, the spectacle they brought would not be less impressive than that of God or Buddha etc.
