Volume 2: Witch Kingdom Arc
Chapter 77: Calling for Backup
Yun Keke looked at the heavily guarded city, the gleaming silver armor of the Divine Punishment Army a stark contrast against the high walls.
“Why is a border city so heavily fortified…?”
The defenses were unexpectedly strong. The city was surrounded by a high wall, and even that was lined with witch detection devices.
“How do we get in? We usually just fly over, but that witch didn’t give us any passes. Can so many of us even get in…?”
Yun Keke considered bypassing the city, but the glowing holy barrier dissuaded her. Although there must be high-Order Church personnel stationed here, she was a 2nd Order witch herself.
“Should we just fight our way in? That would cause too much trouble…”
“Why not just walk in~?”
A voice from behind startled her. Luo Miaomiao was floating beside her, looking at the city through a telescope.
“Oh my, little mommy, you’re worried about being mistaken for a bad witch~?”
“Uh… something like that. And don’t call me ‘Little Mommy’!”
“Okay, Little Mommy! No problem, Little Mommy!”
“You! Sigh, forget it.”
Yun Keke sighed and returned to the ground. Yu Keke rushed over, and Yun Keke explained the situation.
“Why is a border city equipped with witch detection devices…?”
“I don’t know, it’s so annoying! How are the four of us supposed to get in? I’ll just fight our way in!”
Yun Keke scratched her head in frustration. With two 2nd Order, one 3rd Order, one unknown, and a sleeping prisoner, they were a formidable force.
“There’s probably a high-Order nun in the city, but she’s no match for us~”
“But won’t that cause trouble for big sister? After all…”
Ling Shuang’s words silenced them. They couldn’t risk harming Luo Yuxi. Just then, a clapping sound drew their attention. Luo Miaomiao stood on a rock, hands on her hips.
“It seems you’re in trouble. It’s time for me, the number one beautiful girl from the future, with both wisdom and beauty, to solve your problem~”
Yun Keke and the others looked at Luo Yuxi’s future daughter, her arrogant demeanor so different from Luo Yuxi’s.
“Is she really weakling big sister’s daughter? She’s so arrogant…”
“I think she’s quite cute, don’t you?”
Yu Keke whispered, defending Luo Miaomiao. Ling Shuang remained silent. Luo Miaomiao, seeing all eyes on her, jumped off the rock.
“We’re going to find my mom, right? We just have to get through~”
“I told you, the entire border is protected by a holy barrier. Even an insect can’t get through without being scanned…”
Luo Miaomiao, as if expecting this, took out a square crystal from her bag. Yun Keke looked at the glowing crystal, confused.
“What’s that?”
“A Time Crystal. It can connect through time, space, and any obstacle~”
“So it’s just a communication device? I thought it was something amazing…”
Yun Keke lost interest, but Luo Miaomiao simply channeled her power into the crystal, which then vanished.
“I don’t usually like doing this, it takes the fun out of traveling. But asking for help is the fastest way~”
A familiar time rift appeared, and a pair of high-heeled feet emerged, followed by a golden-haired, golden-eyed woman, her presence filling the forest with a powerful energy, as if time had stopped.
“What’s going on? This familiar pressure…”
Yun Keke felt a sense of being trapped. Ling Shuang’s icy aura leaked out, her eyes fixed on the woman emerging from the rift. Yu Keke was also speechless.
“What’s wrong, Miaomiao? Did you encounter a problem you couldn’t solve~?”
“Ailani Mommy~ Just a small problem, so I need your help~”
Yun Keke’s eyes widened. The woman was Ailani, the Word Spirit Saintess, her holy aura even more powerful than before.
“The Word Spirit Saintess!”
“Hmm? It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that name. But I prefer to be called the Holy Spirit Goddess now~”
Ailani turned, her divine aura engulfing the entire continent. A halo appeared behind her, her golden eyes radiating a holy light. Even the Time Witch, sipping tea in her castle, felt her teacup crack. All the powerful beings in the world sensed the arrival of an unparalleled existence.
“Ailani Mommy! Calm down! If you disrupt the past, you’ll affect the future!!”
“Oh, right, right. I was just a little excited to be summoned by my dear daughter~”
Ailani returned to her gentle demeanor. Yun Keke and the others were still stunned by the display of power. Luo Miaomiao waved her hand in front of their faces, then, seeing no reaction, turned to Ailani.
“Ailani Mommy, really! The current world can’t handle the descent of a god!”
“Sorry, sorry~”
Ailani smiled apologetically. Luo Miaomiao, seeing the three still in a daze, decided to get down to business.
“Now, I need you to help me with something, Ailani Mommy~”
