Reincarnated as a Holy Nun, I Refuse to Lose! v3c23

Chapter 23: Useless Knowledge

Yun Keke sat in the carriage, looking at the Time Witch, at a loss for words. Yu Keke offered the Time Witch a bag of cookies.

“Would you like some…?”

“No, thank you…”

The carriage was eerily silent, except for the snoring of Amelie, the Sloth Witch, who was sleeping soundly. Yun Keke stared at the floor awkwardly.

“Why did it turn out like this…?!”

Ten minutes ago, Yun Keke had been ready to attack, but her mind had been filled with a whirlwind of images, as if on fast forward. When she came to, the witch, who had been a terrifying enemy, was now standing obediently behind Luo Miaomiao.

“Yay! We have a new member in our little team! Now we can find Mother~”

Yun Keke grabbed Luo Miaomiao and pulled her into a corner, pointing at the Time Witch.

“What were you thinking?! She was trying to kill us!”

“Oh, don’t worry, Little Mommy. In the future, you two are the best of friends, you and my mother even… wait, I can’t say that…!”

“Wait, me and her?! You must be mistaken!”

Yun Keke had wanted to question Luo Miaomiao’s decision to let the Time Witch join them, but now she had heard something even more shocking.

“Aba, aba, aba, aba, aba, aba, aba, aba…”

Luo Miaomiao started acting dumb, and Yun Keke, unable to get any useful information, sighed and returned to her seat.

“Another competitor. Why did it have to be her?!”

“Little Yun, what’s wrong…?”

Yu Keke, seeing Yun Keke’s frustrated expression, asked with concern. Yun Keke grabbed Yu Keke’s wrist, her expression serious.

“Little Yu, we’re in a dangerous situation…”

“Dangerous? You mean…”

Yu Keke looked at the Time Witch. She had been an enemy just moments ago, so Yun Keke’s wariness was understandable. She was about to comfort Yun Keke when she noticed Yun Keke was looking not just at the Time Witch, but also at her.

“Now we’re the ones at a disadvantage!”

“Eh? Little Yun, what are you talking about…?”

Yun Keke, seeing Yu Keke’s confusion, made a circle with her hands in front of her chest. Yu Keke was still confused. Yun Keke sighed.

“It’s nothing, I’ll just think about it myself…”

Yun Keke looked at her own flat chest, then at Ling Shuang, who had seemingly hit a growth spurt overnight, then at the silent Time Witch, and even at the sleeping Amelie. She looked at all the ample bosoms, even Luo Miaomiao’s, which was no smaller than her mother’s.

“All the big ones are enemies…”

Yun Keke had formulated a new, detailed plan. Meanwhile, the Time Witch slowly opened her eyes.

“If we’re going to the Far South, wouldn’t it be faster to fly…?”

“No, no, no, if we fly, how can we enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way~?”

Luo Miaomiao, who was driving the carriage, pointed at the blooming flowers. The Time Witch didn’t believe her but said nothing, simply closing her eyes to rest. Luo Miaomiao, seeing this, sighed in relief, a faint smile on her lips, looking at the glowing mark on her hand.

“It’s not time yet…”

Luo Miaomiao continued to drive the carriage slowly towards the Far South.

Meanwhile, in the Holy City of the Angelic Kingdom, the entire city was under lockdown, a massive barrier sealing it off, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

“Just one more step, just one more step…”

The Nameless Witch looked at the now-complete divine halo cocoon, her excitement uncontainable. Gabriel, standing behind her, had been motionless for an unknown amount of time.

Gabriel was in a void, watching a lamb named Shaun beat up a pig named Peppa.

“What is this strange thing? Why am I watching this? No, how long have I been watching this…?”

Gabriel’s mind was hazy. She watched the scene, counting from one to sixty, then from sixty to one, then telling herself that two minutes had passed. She knew it was a waste of time, but her mind kept thinking, a whirlwind of strange and complex thoughts filling her brain.

“Hi, do you want to see my Mickey Mouse Clubhouse~?”

“Mickey Mouse Clubhouse?”

“Yes, if you think with me for an hour, you’ll find out…”

“Find out what…?”

“Let’s try it~”

One hour later.

“Did you find out anything?”

“I didn’t find out anything…”

“That’s right, we’ve just wasted an hour~”

Gabriel felt like she had had a very pleasant chat with a mouse named Mickey and even played many fun games in his house. Her mind began to slow down.

“So much information, I feel like I know so much…”

Gabriel kept thinking, until the influx of knowledge suddenly stopped. She slowly came to her senses.

“Who am I? Where am I? Wasn’t I in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse… No, wait, what Mickey Mouse Clubhouse?!”

Gabriel snapped back to reality, realizing she had been thinking about useless things. Her divine power surged. The Nameless Witch turned and saw Gabriel slowly regaining her mobility.

“So that’s the limit of those garbage knowledge infusions…”

“The boring games are over, you damn Mickey…”

“Mickey?”

“No, I mean, you damn witch!”

Gabriel, the leader of the four archangels, the embodiment of virtue, had been controlled for so long by a witch whose magic circuits had been destroyed. She finally lost her composure.

“Now things are much simpler. I’m going to crush that thing behind you…”

Gabriel summoned a silver hammer. The Nameless Witch knew she had no time to waste.

“If I kill you, that would be a mercy. So I’ll crush your hope and let you live here…”

[Domain…]

The Nameless Witch clasped her hands, about to expand her domain, but she coughed up blood.

“This is my limit…?”

Gabriel spread her six wings, a symbol of her status, and charged at the statue. The Nameless Witch tried to stop her, but it was useless. Gabriel’s hammer fell, and the statue shattered, purple crystals flying everywhere.

“Now there’s no problem. Stay here, maybe the gods will give you—”

“Hahahahahaha~”

The Nameless Witch, sitting on the floor, laughed maniacally. Gabriel frowned.

“Mad? Did she go mad just because her hope was crushed? I thought she was stronger…”

As Gabriel was about to report this, she heard the sound of a shell cracking. The Nameless Witch, who had been laughing maniacally, now stood up, her expression calm. Gabriel didn’t understand. She had destroyed her hope, why was she so calm?

“Open your eyes, noble Archangel, and see what you’ve truly destroyed~”

The Nameless Witch’s words made Gabriel realize her mistake. She looked at the fragments on the floor, which were not the color of white jade.

“A fake?”

“You think I was just a madwoman in prison all that time?”

Gabriel, horrified, ran towards the rift, but she was too late. The rift closed, and behind it, a pink, jade-like cocoon was cracking. Hearing the sound of a shell being crushed, the Nameless Witch became more animated. Seeing Gabriel trying to tear open another rift, she picked up her violin.

“The divine throne is ready. Forging a new authority, let me play one last song for the birth of a new god~”
