Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!

Haven't fully healed yet?

Was it because the momentum of the fate I had created wasn't strong enough, and I was just a bit short?

For a moment, Lynn furrowed his brows deeply.

"You needn't blame yourself." Sensing his gloom, the Doomsday Witch suddenly spoke, "As far as I know, you've done the utmost that you could at this moment."

After all, Lynn had shattered the entire faith of Orn City, even burning down the Heavenly Principle Church to the ground.

There were no excess sources of faith for him to continue weakening, so naturally, he had reached his limit.

"So, I shall reward you."

Saying this, the Doomsday Witch's palm suddenly revealed three shimmering, crimson Divine Factors.

But just as she was about to infuse Lynn with these factors, she sensed something and suddenly furrowed her brows.

"You've already ignited nine Divine Factors, reaching the limit of First Rank?"

The Doomsday Witch's voice carried a hint of surprise.

"This is some personal secret of mine, could you please not inquire further?"

Lynn tentatively asked.

From the beginning, he knew he couldn't hide it from Miss Witch, so he never intended to conceal it.

After all, how could those Sealed Objects that hide one's aura and power possibly withstand the gaze of a deity?

Fortunately, he roughly knew the character of Miss Witch.

Whether she was described as aloof or world-weary.

In any case, as long as he refused to speak, she probably wouldn't be like that madwoman Ivyst, forcing him by stepping on his head.

Sure enough.

After a moment of silence, the Doomsday Witch didn't say anything, seemingly skipping over the topic.

Lynn thought she would find some other way to reward him, given that he was in great need of items like Sealed Objects.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the Doomsday Witch still waved her hand, infusing the Divine Factors into Lynn's body.

The light flashed in an instant.

Before he could even express his amazement, accompanied by a familiar surge and burning sensation, Lynn suddenly felt a change within himself!

His body didn't burst from the excess Divine Factors as he had imagined.

On the contrary, upon entering his dark and barren inner world, the three extra Divine Factors seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, rushing towards three of the ones he originally possessed!

With twisting and fluctuations, two of the Divine Factors fused into a New Divine Factor under Lynn's gaze!

It can, it can be like this?

Even having read the original story, Lynn never remembered such an absurd thing happening.

After the fusion, the newly-born three Divine Factors were a full size larger than the other six.

Not only that, but even the red glow they emitted was brighter.

As if they had been enhanced.

Lynn looked toward the Doomsday Witch puzzlingly.

Seeing this, she answered indifferently, "As you can see, the Divine Factors I've bestowed can become stronger through continuous fusion."

"Of course, at present, enhancing three is already your limit, if you wish to continue strengthening them, you'd better forge your body to be even more robust."

Hearing this, Lynn couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

He had thought the male protagonist's limitless increase of Divine Factors in the original story was already heaven-defying enough.

He never expected that the Doomsday Witch was just as exceptional.

For example, under the same ability and number of Divine Factors, Lynn, who believed in "Doomsday," could activate his powers three or four times more effectively than an ordinary person.

And if on this basis, his Divine Factors could continue to enhance and multiply, then this multiplier would rise exponentially!

Could it be that I am the destined male protagonist?

Lynn revealed a profound expression and touched his chin.

In that case, my future plans would have to change.

Upon advancing to the next rank, he could first max out the divine-given factor through the system and then rely on the new divine factor obtained from completing the Witch Trials to enhance the old ones.

Of course, as Miss Witch had said, he now needed a more robust physique to withstand the enhancement of the divine-given factor.

If only he could draw a similar extraordinary ability.

Lynn mused silently.

The points he had saved up from before were still there, enough to draw another ability, but at that time he thought his luck was terrible and was planning to find a sealed object that could increase luck and try his fortune later.

It seemed that he could only ask for the omnipotent Lanni A Dream's help tomorrow.

Thinking this, Lynn, who had a clearer picture for his future planning, couldn't help but say, "Miss Witch, do you have any new trials to assign to me?"

The previous trial requiring him to hunt a hundred transcendents of the Heavenly Principle Church was not yet complete, a task too difficult to finish in a short period of time.

So he came up with a new idea.

The more trials he completed, the more divine-given factors he could enhance.

In this way, he would get ever closer to his goal of gaining freedom from that woman.

Lynn had thought the Doomsday Witch would let him continue to weaken the faith of the Heavenly Principle Church or perhaps strike out at some other church.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his question, a flicker of something unusual passed through the Doomsday Witch's eyes.

"What date exactly is it now in the era you live in?"

After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked.

"I don't quite remember," Lynn thought for a moment, "but according to the timeline, it should be the eve of your return to the Imperial Capital."

"..."

Upon hearing this reply, the Doomsday Witch imperceptibly furrowed her brow.

Could it be that it was already that time?

A flicker of disappointment passed through her eyes.

However, she maintained a calm exterior and said nonchalantly, "How are Aphia and the others... Are they all right?"

"Very well, it's just that they seem to have recently failed a mission and looked somewhat disheartened."

Although he did not know why she suddenly inquired about the condition of these subordinates, Lynn still answered honestly.

"I see..."

The Doomsday Witch murmured to herself.

Another prolonged silence ensued.

Minutes later, she slowly stood up, her bare jade-white feet showing; with both hands, she picked up her skirt, dragging the Order Chains upon her body, taking one step at a time toward the upstairs steps.

Until she reached the highest point.

With her back towards him, she gazed at the colossal divine statues above the Pantheon, silent for a long while.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the Doomsday Witch spoke, "I do have a task for you."

"What task?"

Lynn held his breath, all ears.

She did not turn around but stood atop the highest point, looking down.

Somehow, Lynn suddenly felt that her silhouette at this moment seemed somewhat tragically beautiful.

The next second, Miss Witch's barely perceptible voice floated into Lynn's ears.

"I want you to... by all means, please me."
