I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [151]

"Hmm??"

Looking at the message in the chat group, Zhongli’s fourteen pale golden dragon eyes blinked twice. This was starting to feel troublesome.

He was well aware that Satella, the Witch of Envy and Love from the Witch’s World, was a being who toyed with time and altered reality.

Perhaps, in terms of overall power, she wasn’t as formidable as Zhongli himself. However, within the Witch’s World, where she could freely rewind time, she was not an opponent that a mere avatar of Zhongli could contend with.

If his true form went there, he might have a chance to wrest control over time from her.

But if it was just an avatar, there was no way he could win.

The seven-headed dragon hovered in the void, pondering for a moment.

In the end, he decided to fulfill the contract.

—After all, this journey to the Witch’s World wouldn’t necessarily involve direct confrontation with the witch. So, an avatar should be sufficient.

However, what concerned Zhongli even more than his avatar’s decision was the information revealed by the chat group system notification.

—First, [Chat Group System ID: 332653]. This implied that the Multiverse Chat Group was not unique. In fact, if one considered “system” as the subject, it meant that there were multiple types of systems.

—Perhaps there were also [Nightmare Space Systems], [Lord God Space Systems], and other similar constructs.

—Thinking deeper, if there were identification numbers, that suggested these systems were created by intelligent beings. Meaning, behind the system, there must exist an entity far more powerful—something beyond even Zhongli’s current reach and comprehension.

As these thoughts ran through his mind, Zhongli reached into his own eye socket and extracted one of his eyeballs.

The eye, free of any bloodstains, shimmered with a pale golden glow as it rested in his clawed palm.

Then, with a single thought, he clicked the button to accept the mission.

In the next instant, under the gaze of all fourteen intact golden pupils of the seven-headed dragon, the eye in his claw vanished without a trace.

And immediately after, a set of coordinates belonging to a distant world appeared in his perception.

[Target Confirmed.]

[Countdown: 100:00:00]

The journey would be long, but still within an acceptable range.

The seven-headed dragon swayed its tail, stirring the ripples of the void as it began its voyage toward the Witch’s World.

A Little Time Rewind

Witch’s World

"AHHHHH~~~!"

A scream of resurrection echoed.

Natsuki Subaru opened his eyes within a dark cavern.

His head felt a little fuzzy, and he shook it to clear his thoughts.

The dim surroundings made it impossible to see clearly, but the searing pain gnawed at his nerves, invading his very being.

—I... was eaten??

—I was eaten by rabbits…

—Rabbits? Why rabbits…?

—It hurts~~~!

—It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!

—So this is what it feels like to be devoured piece by piece by a beast… But why does it still hurt now? WHY?? WHY??

“Huff… Huff…”

Subaru took a deep breath, closing his eyes in contemplation.

In his mind, faint golden pupils flickered in and out of view.

The mental agony gradually eased with each deep breath.

It was as if the pain was being expelled from his body.

—The [Soul Visualization Technique] I bought for 300 points from the chat group system really works. It might not have much practical use, but it’s great for calming my mind and alleviating the trauma of dying.

—And most importantly, Zhongli-sensei’s body is incredible. Just visualizing his eyes forces me to calm down.

Feeling slightly more composed, Subaru recalled where he was.

This… was the cave where Emilia had taken the Sanctuary’s trial for the first time.

It was also the place where he first met the Witch of Greed, Echidna.

So far, he had died three times.

—The first time, he returned to the mansion without knowing anything and was killed by Elsa, the Bowel Hunter.

—The second time, despite making some preparations, he discovered that Elsa had an accomplice—Meili, the Beast Tamer—who commanded magical beasts to tear him apart.

—The third time, realizing that the people in the Sanctuary weren’t enough to handle Elsa and Meili, he decided to free everyone from the Sanctuary first before dealing with the mansion. But his Witch’s Scent was too conspicuous, leading Garfiel to imprison him. He was eventually devoured by the Great Rabbit in the midst of a blizzard.

—So, based on what I know…

Subaru furrowed his brows and picked up a stick, scribbling on the ground.

• If too much time passes without returning to Roswaal’s mansion, Beatrice, Petra, and Frederica will be killed by Elsa and Meili.

• If he disappears for too long, a blizzard will hit the Sanctuary, drawing in the Great Rabbit, which will annihilate the entire area.

• His Witch’s Scent makes Garfiel hostile toward him and keeps him on high alert.

• The reason Emilia cannot pass the trial seems to be due to missing memories? —Unconfirmed.

Scratch, scratch, scratch…

After writing all that, Subaru quickly erased it with the stick.

Once again, he fell into deep thought.

—So far, all of these obstacles come down to a lack of combat ability. Whether it’s Elsa, Meili, or the magical beasts brought by the blizzard, if I just take a chat group mission and recruit some fighters—even mid-tier ones like Accelerator or Handsome Prisoner—it’d be enough to solve both the mansion and Sanctuary threats at once. Even if Garfiel still hates me, it wouldn’t matter. The battle power would be overwhelming.

—But… is solving it purely with brute force really the right way?

—I still don’t understand why Emilia can’t pass the Sanctuary’s trial. I don’t know what forbidden truths lie in her lost memories, or why Puck went into hibernation the moment he entered the forest.

—The sudden appearance of the Great Rabbit, the employer behind Elsa and Meili, the hidden forces at play… I know nothing about them.

—If I only rely on brute strength to break through, is that really okay?

—If Emilia keeps running from her past, she’ll never be able to move forward. Her defeated, despairing expression… I don’t want to see that again. I’d rather watch her die than see her like that.

“Haaahhh…”

He exhaled another deep breath, expelling all the pain from his chest.

Subaru controlled his breathing, his muscles tensing and relaxing in rhythm.

Just as his gaze shifted toward Emilia, who lay unconscious on the ground—

The world before his eyes suddenly changed.

A sweet-smiling silver-haired witch sat elegantly in front of him, seated in a refined chair.
