Miss Luo Yan’s Feet Are Buried With Corpses v3 epilogue 1-2

Witch’s Night: Epilogue 1 – The Witch of Absolute Death

From the beginning of her memories, her world was dark.

Lifeless.

She didn’t know where she came from, nor why she existed.

Immersed in endless silence and darkness, only the cold Saint once said to her indifferently,

“You are Absolute Death.”

Yes, that’s right.

The Witch of Absolute Death…

From the very beginning, she was the Witch of Absolute Death, a product of the Artificial Witch Project.

She opened her eyes, and endless chains bound her.

She closed her eyes, and meaningless whispers followed one after another.

Until… that sliver of silver-white appeared.

That was the first time she saw light.

The corners of her mouth curved up slightly, as if she was smiling.

……

“Such a mad act, ‘End,’ I still can’t understand you.”

The blue-haired little girl looked playfully at the Artificial Witch “Absolute Death,” sealed within the dark realm. Her ice-blue eyes seemed to contain a strange brilliance, her entire being enveloped in a dreamy mist, as if detached from this world.

“Please address me as Saint.”

The tall, indifferent woman said coldly.

“Alright, ‘Saint’,” End said, the mockery in her tone intensifying, “You and I only have a transaction, but this transaction… in my opinion, is doomed to fail.”

To fulfill this transaction, the Saint personally created an “Ice Coffin” for End’s mortal body, preserving the body’s existence even after the consciousness within perished.

This way, the Witch of End would have the means to directly descend upon the present world.

On the other hand, the sealed body wouldn’t lose control of its power. After all, this level of power losing control could destroy countless mega-cities, even creating a new Calamity that would ravage the Endless Wasteland.

This was also a situation the Saint didn’t want to see.

The Witch of End, in turn, used the consciousness of the Gods to complete the most crucial step in the Saint’s “Artificial Witch Project,” catalyzing the former body of Absolute Death and giving birth to the new Witch of Absolute Death.

The Saint was ultimately just the former Witch of Absolute Death. Although she had a high degree of control over this mortal body created by her past self, she had already lost the true power of the World Will.

And what made the Witch of End repeatedly lament the “madness” was that the Saint actually used “malice” to contaminate the original body when creating the new Witch of Absolute Death’s body.

…The Gods avoided “malice” at all costs, because it was the true source of the Gods’ world destruction.

Once tainted by “malice,” the Gods could only passively choose to fall into slumber, otherwise they would repeat the Calamity that had occurred in countless worlds.

However, the “malice” that contaminated Absolute Death’s body wasn’t ordinary “malice.”

But the conceptualized “malice” born from the Gods’ world destruction plan back then.

End looked again at the silver-white light entwined around the Witch of Absolute Death, a strange expression on her face,

“Unbelievable… is It the ‘malice’ that has plagued us for countless millennia?”

It just looked like a simple ball of light, nothing special.

Unexpectedly, the Saint didn’t answer. Although she condensed this light, she also couldn’t see through its essence.

Not only did it not show any characteristics of “malice,” but even the aura of the World Will was almost non-existent.

It was precisely because of this that the Saint had a bold idea.

Using this kind of “malice” to contaminate Absolute Death’s body, making the newborn God immune to the truly terrifying contamination by being corrupted by this “non-malicious” “malice” from the moment of her birth.

Thinking of the tragic state beyond the starry sky, the Saint, like the Gods, remained silent.

Human civilization would eventually leave this precarious cradle, to glimpse and explore the real world.

The Gods’ endless cycle only kept human civilization in its infancy, unable to truly solve the Calamity from beyond the starry sky.

To confront the entire corrupted starry sky, humanity needed greater power, such as… the World Will.

An uncorrupted, or rather, a World Will that could ignore corruption.

This way, they wouldn’t repeat the same tragedy as other worlds.

End saw through Absolute Death’s thoughts, but only felt it was ridiculous.

“Malice” was a God, and God meant absolute rules. Even the “Promised Land,” the most powerful of all worlds, had become the “Land of Divine Advent” under the ravages of a God.

Even though, due to the nature of “malice,” this world was only confined in its cradle, not completely destroyed like by “Destruction,” how could this world compare to the “Promised Land”?

Even the “Promised Land” couldn’t solve the Calamity, and this world maintaining the status quo was already its limit.

Actually seeking a breakthrough…

Just then, the Saint suddenly said,

“She’s singing again.”

End’s playful expression finally subsided, and she listened attentively to the song of the Witch of Absolute Death with the Saint, listening to her sing about the Gods’ demise, the Gods’ sorrow.

After a long time, End whispered,

“She’s different from us, she didn’t lose her mind and fall into madness under the erosion of malice.”

The Saint didn’t speak.

End looked up, her ice-blue eyes staring intently at the Saint,

“But this doesn’t mean you’ve succeeded, ‘Life’… or rather, Saint.”

……

The Artificial Witch Project was a failure… a complete failure.

The newborn Witch of Absolute Death indeed wasn’t driven mad by the erosion of “malice,” but she would contaminate this world.

When she first left the white temple, left the Holy Mountain, and arrived in Noah, “malice” began to spread from beneath her feet, Calamity born because of her, instantly enveloping the entire Noah.

An unimaginable disaster struck the nascent Noah, becoming history amidst cries and wails.

She was at a loss, completely unaware of what she had done.

From the moment of her birth, a whisper constantly told her that she had to save the world, save human civilization.

But she couldn’t do it.

Even the Saint couldn’t do anything about the erosion of “malice,” and the Gods were in utter despair. Even End regretted this transaction.

If this contamination continued, forget about Noah, the entire world would be completely eroded by “malice,” turning into a monstrous Calamity.

But at the most critical moment, the spread of “malice” stopped, only covering Noah.

Everything was because… of the white flower blooming on the Witch of Absolute Death, its purity and beauty transcending everything in the world. Gazing at the white flower was like gazing at the most beautiful aspect of the world.

…But the white flower was the culprit behind all this.

This couldn’t continue; all existences knew that this would lead to an end.

To save the world and themselves, the Gods finally chose to fight a decisive battle with the Saint.

And the Saint, to carry out her choice, took the white flower away and sealed it within her own life, determined to completely exile the Gods in a place without sky, without earth, without wind, without sun.

What remained in the present world in the end was only an uncontrollable Witch of Absolute Death, and the “malice contamination” she was bound to.

But what did she do?

The black Manjusaka flower bloomed wantonly in the Endless Wasteland, reaching even the Noah Sanctuary.

Countless human experts perished before her, and countless mega-cities collapsed in her path.

This was another Calamity for the New Era civilization.

Even though… she only wanted to find her white flower.

Witch’s Night: Epilogue 2 – Calamity Tide

This was the beginning of all Calamities.

This was a conspiracy filled with deception and betrayal.

This was… a tragedy.

…For everyone involved.

The Old Era was completely destroyed by the Witch of Absolute Death’s conspiracy. The “God of Malice” was born into the present world as a conceptual entity, and the vast land was swept by the Calamity Tide.

All civilizations and past glories were annihilated in this catastrophe, ending the gradually diverging cycle.

—All because human civilization touched the real starry sky.

Before they were strong enough to defeat the “God of Malice,” the starships built by humanity broke through the false starry sky created by the Gods, rashly entering the real starry sky.

They witnessed the truth beyond the stars, saw this despairing scene.

The vast, lifeless starry sky was devoid of any life, filled with terrifying monsters everywhere, except for the still-intact planet beneath their feet… only countless remains, being devoured by the malicious monsters.

At this moment, humanity finally realized that they were on an isolated island.

What they thought was a glorious beginning was actually the end of everything.

The first fleet to explore the starry sky returned in despair, and all the humans who witnessed the truth fell into madness.

Official records were filled with their terrified and panicked words, as they desperately described the horrifying things they saw.

But the World Federation didn’t give up on exploring the starry sky. They simply sent the fleet members to the hospital and began the second exploration.

Soon, a second, even larger star fleet was prepared.

This was the true launch; the first one was just a test flight with a few people.

No one cared much about the maddened members of the first fleet, because it proved that space travel was feasible.

In the face of this great human endeavor, a little mental illness was nothing to fear.

Human civilization was at its peak. Everyone was cheering for humanity’s first step away from their home planet, but they didn’t expect that Calamity would follow closely behind.

This was… the beginning of the nightmare.

The second exploration of the starry sky completely awakened the slumbering Gods, and at the same time, the global live broadcast let more than eighty percent of humanity witness the tragic state of the starry sky’s remains.

This was the most terrifying outcome. The impactful truth instantly drove all the ordinary people, who couldn’t withstand this information, mad, and this in turn affected the Gods.

…More importantly, the Gods were once again corrupted by “malice.”

As the World Will, the ten Gods were closely connected to the living beings of this world.

To be precise, with the development and exploration of human civilization, the Gods would also gradually become stronger, growing together with this world.

When human civilization was in its infancy, the Gods who appeared at that time might not even be able to withstand the later firearms.

But when humanity could explore the starry sky, the Gods’ power had already reached the point where they could ignore humanity’s most advanced weapons, easily destroying the world.

Originally, this wasn’t a bad thing. The Gods were born from the thoughts of the world’s living beings, and the Gods’ love for humanity was deeply imprinted in the core of these conceptual entities of the World Will.

However, the God called “malice” appeared.

The rule named “malice” corrupted all World Wills. Except for this planet, all other World Wills were completely corrupted by malice, completely destroying everything They loved.

Five Witches, five Sovereigns… this world had ten Gods, but it was fortunate, because They realized the terror of “malice” and chose to fight against it with slumber, sealing off the understanding of all living beings, preventing them from coming into contact with malice.

Once the living beings of the world came into contact with malice, the Gods would also be corrupted.

Moreover… a full eighty percent of humanity had come into contact with malice. This level of contamination almost drove the Gods of this world mad, triggering the Calamity Tide.

This wasn’t an isolated incident, or rather, it was constantly happening.

To prevent humans from entering the starry sky, the Gods had to fall into slumber, severing the conceptual entities’ influence on the world, creating a world “without Gods.”

But no matter what, human civilization would always develop, and one day, they would leave the “Gods’ cradle,” one day they would come into contact with the real world, the real… “malice.”

To save this world, to save themselves, the Gods chose the most helpless method.

Destroying human civilization, completely destroying it.

All humans who had come into contact with malice had to be annihilated in the Void.

This way, the corrupted Gods would also gradually disappear with the demise of human civilization, until new Gods descended, once again isolating the real starry sky for this world.

This cycle repeated itself, and the Gods, in their own way, fought against the malice that filled the real starry sky.

Wanting to destroy humanity, more importantly, to destroy the malice contaminating humanity, the Gods found a method in countless cycles.

That was to condense “malice” into a conceptual entity and have it directly descend upon the present world.

This way, all living beings tainted by malice would instinctively react with faith towards It, and the Gods could then use Their power to destroy these living beings, ending this civilization heading down the wrong path.

After countless cycles, countless civilizations were thus destroyed at their peak, and this cycle seemed to continue endlessly.

—Until Absolute Death’s betrayal.

No different from previous cycles, the “Witch of Absolute Death” among the Gods created a mortal body that could descend upon the present world.

Her goal was to find ten God’s Chosen favored by the Gods, use a formation inscribed with divine script to awaken the parts within them similar to the Gods, and use the power of the Gods to, in turn, corrupt the God named “malice.”

This conspiracy ultimately succeeded, and “malice” descended upon this world as a conceptual entity.

But the true Calamity Tide didn’t arrive, the embers of civilization continued to burn, and the descent of “malice” didn’t extinguish all traces of human civilization. All this was because of the Witch of Absolute Death’s betrayal.

The Gods weren’t omniscient and omnipotent; They didn’t know why Absolute Death chose to betray.

They didn’t know why she became humanity’s Saint, leading the surviving humans to establish a new era and continue civilization.

The establishment of Noah declared the failure of the Gods’ plan to restart civilization, and the Gods, eroded by “malice,” were about to walk the same path as other World Wills.

This was an absolutely intolerable end. The Gods made their final struggle, and the Church of the End Gods thus emerged, intending to destroy the erroneously continuing human civilization.

At the same time, the Witch of Absolute Death, who became the Saint, also worked to avoid the end of the world. The “Artificial Witch Project” thus emerged, attempting to create Gods who wouldn’t be eroded by malice.

But both sides failed. The Gods couldn’t completely destroy the erroneously continuing human civilization, and the “Artificial Witch” was also completely eroded by malice, only that she didn’t fall into madness.

Old Noah was thus destroyed, and the Saint, along with Mister “Zero,” ascended the peak of the Holy Mountain, engaging in a final battle with the revived Gods.

The Gods were severely wounded. All the Sovereigns fell into a near-eternal slumber to maintain the false starry sky, and the Witches could only revive for a very short time every few decades, losing the ability to directly interfere with the present world.

The Saint and Mister “Zero,” in this battle, extracted the demonic offerings of the Gods, wielding the Gods’ powers with their mortal bodies, and finally, under the dual erosion of “malice” and the “Gods,” transformed into terrifying monsters and perished on the peak of the Holy Mountain.

In their final moments, they used their lives to exile the conceptual “malice.”

To be precise, they used their mortal bodies to bind this God corrupted by the World Will, and gave It life, making It finally become… her.

The limitations of a mortal body prevented her from using the power of “malice” again, extinguishing the crisis of the Gods destroying the world.

However, the Saint and Mister “Zero” didn’t expect that she would break free from her shackles, slowly awakening in a Calamity phenomenon somewhere in the present world.

When she opened her eyes, when she gained self-awareness, it meant that the Saint and Mister “Zero’s” plan to exile the God had failed, and the Gods had the opportunity to make her become It again.

—Did the Saint and Mister “Zero” fail?

It was still unknown.

When the beautiful, silver-haired girl stood on the peak of the Holy Mountain, when she finally touched the truth behind all this…

It was still unknown.

Miss Luo Yan gazed at the terror beyond the starry sky, silently, for a long time.

Until this circuitous dream of the Gods completely ended, and the truth of the Old Era and the New Era was revealed to her.

“Are you ready to accept all this now?”

A cold voice sounded from somewhere, seemingly from the depths of her mind.

The dark-haired girl who had appeared many times in Luo Yan’s dreams seemed to be standing beside her, asking softly.

…Was she the Saint, or Absolute Death, who betrayed the Gods?

“…”

But Miss Luo Yan didn’t answer immediately.

She just slowly closed her eyes, and after an unknown amount of time, a light and pleasant voice sounded in this forgotten world,

“I am… now called Luo Yan.”
