Chapter 807: 529. Mysterious Origins 2.0
Demigod, this title is typically used to refer to hybrid offspring of deities and mortals, or those whose strength is so formidable that they partially transcend but are still not enough to be called deities.
For mortals, although demigods are not as great as deities, they are still incomparable to the insignificant mortals. Besides, it’s not easy for mortals to ascend to godhood. Therefore, a demigod is almost the highest pursuit a mortal can achieve in their lifetime.
Unfortunately, Dorothy is not a mortal. In her eyes, as a witch from the future, the status of being a demigod is just so-so. Witches even disdain the “God of Faith” or “Nature God” whom mortals regard as true gods, calling them pseudo gods. So needless to say, these beings who are not even considered pseudo gods by witches.
Thus, the homebody witch was only slightly surprised and sighed briefly about her possible demigod status during this Witch’s Night, without any other thoughts.
After all, speaking frankly, she really hasn’t felt any divine power within her body before, proving the thinness of her divine blood, or rather the incompetence of her mother’s divine power.
This isn’t surprising, given that five hundred years ago, when Dorothy was just born, the Witch World was still the weakest small world.
The divinity of gods in small worlds is just so-so. The strongest deity here might still not be as powerful as an ordinary mage from the Higher World, hence there isn’t much power to pass down to descendants.
Of course, the strength of these Nature Gods generally increases in tandem with the elevation of the world’s level. If Dorothy indeed carries divine blood, this part of the divine blood would gradually reveal its divinity as the world’s power grows stronger.
But the problem is that the outside world is already at the end of the world, and the world itself is struggling to survive. There isn’t any extra power to be returned to its godly laborers. Currently, being a demigod doesn’t bring any substantial benefits or power. It would be fortunate enough if the world end doesn’t take her down together.
After all, these Nature Gods and the world itself share a symbiotic relationship, where their fates are intertwined. Other mundane beings might abandon the world and flee to other worlds for refuge during the apocalypse, but Nature Gods typically have no escape route.
This relationship also dictates that these Nature Gods are naturally the guardians of the world. Any entity attempting to harm the world itself would be annihilated by the god’s divine punishment. In the wars where witches conquered other worlds in the past, some troublesome Nature Gods had indeed caused headaches for Witch Commanders.
But it was just a headache, after all. Witches excel at calling for reinforcements whenever they can’t win a fight; one couldn’t win, call for two, and if Great Witch couldn’t win, Peak would step in.
Facing the absolute difference in numbers and strength, the worlds conquered by witches generally only have one outcome, which was to be subjugated. And those Nature Gods who dared to resist witches would ultimately become the playthings or materials of witches.
Despite being disdainful pseudogods, they are treasures from head to toe. Their body, blood, soul, divinity, divine authority, and divine power are all considered highly valuable materials for witches.
Some witches even mockingly call these pseudogods the essence of the world, walking treasure chests.
As for the offspring of these pseudogods, the demigod heroes who don’t necessarily share the world’s fate.
In the Era of the Divine King and Dragon King, demigod slaves were extremely popular commodities in witch auctions. Even now, during the somewhat more civilized Era of the Demon Lord where slavery is theoretically abolished, you can still frequently spot homeless demigods in the job market.
emmmmm….
Dorothy recalled her knowledge of pseudogods and demigods slightly, and the homebody witch fell silent.
She didn’t know whether to sigh at the witches’ cruelty or to lament that the demigod status really has nothing to be proud of.
If she had to express her insight on this matter, it would be:
Life shouldn’t feel honored by bloodline; strength is the premise of all respect. Falling behind results in being bullied.
Of course, discussing this inevitably leads to the eternal truth of “your position determines your standpoint.” freёweɓnovel.com
Other people’s Nature Gods and demigods don’t matter, but if it’s one’s own, this requires careful analysis.
The reality of the Witch World certainly doesn’t have Nature Gods, but in the early phase of this Witch’s Night, the identity of Nun Eve in front of her genuinely surprised Dorothy.
Regardless of the mythological system, deities representing the sun and moon hold high status, usually being the principal deities, as the sun and moon are the eyes of the world.
The Sun and Moon Gods are generally the closest entities to the world consciousness. They can often be considered the most intimate children of the world consciousness, or perhaps, they might directly be incarnations of the world consciousness.
Witches may not revere these pseudogods, but they deeply respect their own Mother of the World, whether it’s the Three or other ordinary witches.
So, when faced with the Moon Goddess Eve…
Temporarily disregarding whether she is indeed her bloodline mother, even if she isn’t, what if she directly embodies the world consciousness itself? Then should she acknowledge or not acknowledge this Mother of the World?
This is a question.
