It was an unusual day for the Witches' Children.
They were woken up early in the morning and gathered in the hall, but no one told them what happened.
This made them feel doubtful and uneasy.
They sat on the chairs and looked around curiously, at the same time trying to find out all sorts of information.
"Hey, do you know what happened?"
"No, I'm not sure … Big Sisters don't seem to know anything either …"
"Don't tell me he wants to kill us after seeing that we're useless …"
"I don't think so. Sir Overlord is a good person …"
"Could it be that something happened outside?"
"What?
What are you talking about?
Something happened?
Could it be that something has gone wrong outside? "
"I heard that something big happened to the Holy Church, and there's panic outside."
"Hahaha, serves them right. They deserve this!"
The Witches' Children were all girls. As the saying went, three women were equal to a thousand ducks.
There were hundreds of Sons of the Witch in the auditorium right now.
Although they were afraid of Sir Overlord's prestige and didn't dare to make a ruckus, their whispers caused quite a commotion.
Usually, there would be Magician Knights to maintain order. But today, even the Magician Knights didn't seem to have any intention of stopping the commotion.
"Big Sister Eileen, did Sir Overlord say anything to you?"
(No, I haven't seen Sir Overlord since I returned.)
Eileen shook her head in response to the other Witches' Children's questions. As she was the first one to arrive here and was deeply trusted by Jenn, the other Witches' Children had long treated her as Jenn's spokesperson.
Seeing that even Eileen didn't receive any news, the Witches' Children became even more uneasy.
After all, almost all of them had suffered from conspiracies and abuse. At this moment, all the Witches' Children were gathered together without any reason.
It was hard for them not to feel fear and doubt.
"Should we run away? What if they want to kill us here …"
"Don't be rash. Where can we escape to?
Is the outside better than here?
I'd rather die here. At least there's a soft carpet.
If you go out, I'm afraid your fate will be to die in the wilderness and feed the wild dogs! "
"That's true …"
As the crowd whispered to each other, footsteps sounded. Then, with Lydia, Pattilina, and the others escorting him, Jenn walked out of the passageway and onto the stage in front of the auditorium.
Hearing Zayen's voice, the Sons of the Witches immediately shut their mouths and no one spoke anymore.
Strangely enough, the moment they saw the Sir Overlord, they instinctively felt that they had to treat him with the highest respect.
This was not because he had saved his own painful fate, but because it was an instinctive reaction.
It was as though a puppy would tuck its tail between its legs in the face of a monster that was stronger than itself. It was as though in their subconscious, this Sir Overlord before them was no longer a human like them, but an indescribably powerful existence that was far above them.
And that was the truth.
'Sir Lord seems to be a little different from before?'
Gazing dubiously at Jenn's figure, Einster couldn't help but reveal a curious expression.
She remembered that when she went out with Sir Overlord, he clearly didn't exude such a powerful aura.
But now, just hearing his footsteps and seeing his silhouette made Eileen's heart race uncontrollably.
It was a mixture of joy and nervousness, a rather mysterious emotion.
At that moment, Jenn finally spoke.
"I know that all of you are wondering why I gathered all of you on such an ordinary day."
Upon hearing Jenn's voice, the Witch's Children shut their mouths immediately and lifted their heads to look at Jenn.
It was apparent that they had such doubts deep in their hearts.
After all, this was not a festival, nor was it a sacrificial ceremony. Zayen rarely appeared in the monastery on normal days.
Therefore, whenever he appeared, it meant that something important had happened.
So what could it be?
"I can understand your feelings. Of course, this is an ordinary day for all of you.
But I believe that after today, this day will be forever engraved in your memories … "
Hearing this, many of the Witch's Children heaved a sigh of relief.
There weren't fools among the Witch's Children. They came to this place after experiencing severe abuse. Only Fafna, who was a canary in a cage, was rare.
Therefore, these Witch's Children were much better at reading people's expressions than ordinary people.
Even though they didn't know why Sir Overlord gathered them, it didn't sound like he was going to kill them.
But at least it didn't sound like he was going to kill them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said something like "I'll stay in your memory forever". After all, dead people didn't need to remember anything.
Jenn paused for a moment and gazed at the Witch's Children in satisfaction.
After becoming a God, Jenn's senses became much sharper.
Just like now, he stood on the high platform and looked down at the Sons of the Witch. He could clearly feel each and every one of their emotions. Although he had not reached the realm of mind-reading, Zayen could feel their emotions and feelings fluctuating with his words as if he was observing the movement of waves.
It felt as though everything was under his control.
This was God.
"I suppose you've heard the rumors outside. Since that's the case, there's no need to make any more guesses.
I can't be bothered to tell you the process. You just need to know one thing: the Holy Church is completely finished. "
"…"
Almost all the Witch's Children were taken aback. But shortly after, they revealed expressions of disbelief.
They had never thought that the mighty existence high above them would be so huge that he looked like a giant in their eyes. He could crush them with just a finger.
And now, their Sir Overlord told them that the Holy Church was finished?
If this news is true, then …
"But, don't celebrate too early."
Before the Witch's Children could express their excitement, Jenn poured a bucket of cold water on them.
"I think you know better than anyone that the Holy Church itself isn't the reason why you've fallen to this state.
The forsaken ones are just a rumor. The Holy Church has never officially acknowledged this fact.
So, even if the Holy Church is finished, it doesn't mean that your situation will become better.
You should know very well who created this lie about the forsaken ones.
And even if the Holy Church is finished, what's the use?
To those people, it's just a matter of changing the forsaken ones to the Devil's Children. "
"…"
Hearing this, the excited Witch's Children calmed down. In fact, this was indeed the case. They knew better than anyone that the biggest reason why they were abandoned by their parents was because of their physical defects. They couldn't speak, walk, hear, or see.
To put it bluntly, they were a burden to their parents. The Witch's Children who were able to survive until now after being abandoned by their parents weren't idiots. Those naive Witch's Children were either as lucky as Fafna or had died long ago.
So, they knew that what Jenn said was the truth.
Those adults only made up this lie for their own convenience.
And the reason why they hated the Holy Church was because the Holy Church wasn't willing to expose this lie. This made the Witch's Children furious.
But it was also because of this that they knew better than anyone that even if the Holy Church fell, their situation wouldn't become better.
Because those people would use another lie to cover up their fear and continue to harm them.
At this thought, the Witch's Children couldn't help but feel a surge of anger from the depths of their hearts. They desperately wanted to do something, but they didn't know how to vent their anger.
It was about time.
Sensing the changes in the hearts of the Witch's Children, Jenn nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he took a deep breath and said.
"So, I will give you a choice."
At this moment, Jenn's voice became incomparably gentle, and the enraged expressions of the Witch's Sons gradually softened.
Because in their ears, Zayen's voice seemed to have some kind of magical power that drilled into the depths of their hearts. For a moment, they felt from the bottom of their hearts that the feudal lord in front of them was the person in the world who cared about them the most and understood them the most. The choice he gave would definitely be the most suitable for their needs.
"Offer your souls to me, my lovely daughters … From today onwards, I will bestow upon you a brand new life, a brand new form …"
As he spoke, Jenn slowly raised his hand.
Along with his actions, the Sons of the Witch below also became more and more excited.
Even though they didn't understand the hidden meaning behind Jenn's words, they instinctively felt that the important moment to change their fate was about to arrive.
"You can make a choice. Do you want to continue living like this?
Or do you want to change? You will receive a different, healthy body and powerful strength.
But this doesn't come without a price. When you make your choice, your souls will belong to me forever.
Besides, you will have a brand new life and a brand new faith … No pain, no gain.
And now, it's time for you to make your choice.
I need your strength, which is why I'm here to give you the right to choose. "
Along with Jenn's words, a massive amount of magical power began to gather in the auditorium.
On the other hand, the Witch's Children didn't realize it. Instead, they fell into deep thought.
In an instant, the auditorium fell into silence.
But shortly after, a voice sounded in everyone's head.
(I'm willing, Sir Overlord.)
Under everyone's watchful gazes, Irene stepped out of the crowd and arrived at the platform. She lifted her head and gazed at Jenn.
(Sir Overlord, it was you who saved my life and taught me how to understand this world. If it weren't for you, perhaps I would have died a long time ago and wouldn't have enjoyed the wonders of this world.
And now, since Sir Overlord needs me, then … I am willing to offer my everything to Sir Overlord!)
Boom!!
As soon as Irene finished her sentence, a series of golden light spots emerged around her and metamorphosed into a dazzling light column that shrouded her entirely.
Shortly after, under everyone's watchful gazes, Irene's body changed rapidly. Her eyes flickered in a dark purple radiance and her hair became as dazzling as the sun.
The light dust gathered behind Eileen's back and turned into a pair of wings made of light that looked like moving tentacles.
In the blink of an eye, the reborn Eileen appeared before everyone.
Upon witnessing the entirely different young lady, the other Witch's Children were taken aback.
"Sister Irene?"
As Irene's best friend, Lindy couldn't help but ask dubiously.
But she couldn't be blamed because Irene wasn't just any Witch's Child. Instead, she was also the Son of the Sun God, Amon.
At the same time that she was transformed into a succubus, the Son of Saint bloodline hidden in her was also activated. Not only did Irene possess the unique seductive charm of a succubus, but she also gained the dignity and glory of a Son of Saint.
This made Irene look like a true Saint and one couldn't help but feel respectful toward her.
Upon hearing Lindy's words, Irene turned around, gazed at her friend, and opened her mouth.
"… Lindy?"
"Sister Irene, you can speak now?!"
Upon hearing Irene's voice, Lindy rushed forward and hugged the young lady in excitement.
When the other Sons of the Witch saw this scene, there was an uproar.
Even though the Witch's Children possessed the corresponding powers to make up for their deficiencies, they still hoped that they could live like ordinary people.
However, they still hoped that they could live like ordinary people. After all, that was more convenient.
After witnessing Irene not turning into a monster, but becoming more beautiful and able to speak, the other Witch's Children couldn't stay calm anymore.
The other Sons of the Witch could not remain calm either. In fact, most of them, like Einster, had already placed all their remaining trust in Zayen's body.
Therefore, not to mention offering their souls, even if they were to be sacrificed, many of the Witch's Children would still agree without a frown.
No matter what, it was Jenn who took them in and gave them the only warm harbor in this dangerous land. It was only right for them to reciprocate.
And now, not only could they return to normal, but they could also obtain stronger powers and abilities. To the Witch's Children, what else could be more exciting than this?
Looking at the excited Einster and Lindy, the other Witch's Sons also made up their minds at this moment.
Just like what Jenn said, this day would be the turning point of their destiny.
