Otaku Witch-Chapter 382 - 341. I need a new vest

After breakfast, as Sophia went off to wash the dishes as usual, Dorothy, who had yet to take her medicine, suddenly became serious.

Despite her casual words earlier about making Sophia the God King’s Holy Child within a week, the truth was that it was a rather difficult task.

According to the intelligence she had just received from Mother Superior, the biggest obstacle came from the resistance of the Angel Witch Clan.

Although Sophia, as the granddaughter of the Academy Head, should actually be considered the princess of the Angel Witches by birthright, who would have thought that her other half’s bloodline came from the Lord of Glory?

For the Angel Witches, whose social structure is dominated by religion, the Lord of Glory is the greatest heresy, the source of all evil, the adversary of God.

Any contact with the Lord of Glory is seen as a betrayal of faith in the Divine King, a very serious act of apostasy subject to severe punishment.

Originally, Sophia’s mother, as a member of the Angel Witch Clan and the sanctioned Pope-to-be, narrowly escaped being taken to the burning stake by those enraged Angel Witches.

If it hadn’t been for the Academy Head stepping in early with her own student, Dorothy’s mother, Euphilia, to act on behalf of the Judgment Court, Agnes’s fate would have been more than a simple sealing.

Afterward, the Academy Head issued a gag order with the authority of the Pope, which managed to silence some of the Angel Witches who knew the truth back then.

However, the Academy Head paid no small price for this; she enacted the gag order by sacrificing some of the Pope’s rights, and since then, the Pope of the God King Sect had seldom managed affairs and lost the absolute authority she used to wield.

Well, after all, such a large God King Sect could not possibly be completely united. Just like Dorothy’s previous life in the Western major sects, although they all believed in the same God, the differences in doctrine made them want to bash each other’s brains out. The internal structure of the God King Sect was not monolithic either.

Originally, led by the Academy Head as the Pope, the Fundamentalist Faction, which believed that following in the footsteps of the God King would bring them closer to him, could suppress the other factions and become the orthodox of the God King Sect.

But after the incident with Agnes, to preserve her daughter, the Academy Head had to carry out a series of power divisions, using her authority in exchange for the silence of others. Although she still holds the title of Pope, in reality, she was merely a nominal figure.

Within the God King Sect today, it’s no longer the previous dominance of one single faction but a tripartite division.

One is the Fundamentalist Faction, but as the original orthodox, "even a thin camel is bigger than a horse."

The second faction split from the Fundamentalist Faction and is an extreme Conservative Faction prioritizing bloodline above all—the Divine Blood Sect. Their doctrine is simple: they believe that as long as one’s bloodline is noble enough, pure enough, and infinitely close to the Divine King, they will surely earn His favor.

The leader of this faction is the Academy Head’s second daughter, who is currently the Director of Studies at the Witch Academy.

And the third faction is a new emerging sect, calling themselves the Holy Child Sect, who regard the Prophecy of the God King’s Holy Child as divine revelation. They believe it’s not their place to blindly follow the path of the God King but to instead follow the future Lord Holy Child and wait for him to chart a new path for them.

The leader of this faction was once Sophia’s mother, the Academy Head’s eldest daughter, Agnes, and now it is controlled by Agnes’s former followers.

Among these three factions, the Divine Blood Sect, currently led by the Director of Studies, holds the strongest power and the power of discourse within the God King Sect.

To the extreme conservative and bloodline-focused Divine Blood Sect, Sophia, carrying the tainted blood of a sinner, naturally has no right to participate in the selection of the God King’s Holy Child.

Over the years, to counter the ostracism and oppression of the Divine Blood Sect, the isolated Pure White Witch had no choice but to seek alliance. She had been in contact with the Holy Child Sect, hoping they could help restrain the Divine Blood Sect to grant her a chance to attempt the sword drawing.

Although the Holy Child Sect’s influence couldn’t compare to that of the Divine Blood Sect, once Sophia became the Student Council President and seized the power of the student council, the Holy Child Sect was just barely able to contend with the Divine Blood Sect.

If everything went smoothly, given a few more years, Sophia might truly be able to collaborate with the Holy Child Sect and overthrow the Divine Blood Sect, thereby achieving her goal of attempting to draw the sword and become the God King Holy Child.

Unfortunately, the Lord of Glory decided to break free from his seal earlier than expected, so the Pure White Witch didn’t have much time left.

Without external help, no way could Sophia gain a chance to draw the sword within a week.

Moreover, it seems this roommate had chosen the wrong partner to cooperate with, after all...

Dorothy thought of Ivette from last night, the girl who was nearly mistaken for a spy. This Miss Vice President is a member of the Holy Child Sect, and her two mothers are the leaders of the sect. Miss Vice President was sent by her mothers to Sophia to be in charge of communications.

There’s something fishy about this Holy Child Sect.

Dorothy always felt that if Sophia truly put all her faith in this Holy Child Sect, she might end up being backstabbed by her allies.

"Tsk, my foolish roommate, it’s a good thing I’m here. Otherwise, you’d be sold out and still counting money for others. Well, just lie back and watch how I perform, I’ll personally take you soaring."

The homebody witch briefly compiled the information and then smiled confidently.

It was time to show some real skill.

"Hmm, I need to infiltrate the Fundamentalist Faction, and within a week, I need to become the spokesperson for the orthodox faction of the God King Sect."

"Is that difficult? Yes, it is indeed very hard, but Witch’s Night a week from now is a godsend opportunity."

Dorothy extended her hand and clenched it into a fist.

Based on the intelligence leaked by Mother Superior, this year’s Witch’s Night battle to be re-enacted had been decided, it was none other than the battle that marked the rise of the God King.

So, if in this battle, an Angel Witch perfectly recreates the miracle once performed by the God King, what would this Angel Witch represent for the Fundamentalist Sect that aspires to follow in the footsteps of the God King?

Wouldn’t this be the perfect imitation of the God King? A miracle revisited? An outright submission and worship?

"Hmm, so now, I need a new disguise, an incarnation of an Angel Witch, so come forth, Little Five."

Dorothy thought so as she walked to the balcony.

Today was the day she and Ruthfiel had agreed to visit the Moon Rabbit World to construct the system structure. So, the faith of a million Moon Rabbits should be enough for her to construct another divine incarnation, right?

Dorothy thought to herself.

...The homebody witch waited with anticipation...
