Otaku Witch-Chapter 546 - 427. Spectacle Riding on the Face

"The Eight Trigrams Formation? That's unquestionably the Eight Trigrams Formation, how is this possible?"

Within the Angel Temple, Michael, too, sat high on her throne, similarly observing the situation of the subordinates she had sent out through the means of Divine Arts from afar.

However, not intending to look was one thing, but once she did, she was so startled that she stood up directly from her throne, her face one of disbelief.

Without a doubt, as a loyal fan of Guigu Zhuge, Michael could be considered among the very top when it came to the study of the Eight Trigrams Formation on the Magic Network, so she was certain that the formation that had just caused heavy losses to several of her subordinates was indeed the Eight Trigrams Formation.

Though the formation, composed of only eight people, was far from the majestic aura of the one formed by a million-strong army in the Magic Network videos, the feeling was already spot-on.

"But there hasn't been any news about someone on the Magic Network mastering the Eight Trigrams Formation, and at present, it is an exclusive unique technique of Guigu Zhuge... could it be..."

Following her shock, Michael burst into ecstasy.

She had realized that the arrogant Clown she was currently battling could very well be the idol she had always admired.

Though such an unexpected encounter made her find it hard to believe that the world could be this small, upon further thought, it seemed not all that strange.

After all, first and foremost, it had been confirmed that Guigu Zhuge was a witch, which she never sought to hide, and given her outstanding military command abilities, she definitely wouldn't just be some unknown, obscure figure, but rather a fairly famous character among witches.

The prevailing theories on the Magic Network regarding Guigu Zhuge's identity boil down to two, one being that she might be a Sage. For a Sage to possess such methods would be quite natural.

However, Michael didn't quite buy into this speculation. I mean, to be totally frank, although she greatly admired Guigu Zhuge, anyone who saw her initial performances would realize she was indeed a bit of a novice.

A Witch Sage, known for their omnipotence, simply couldn't have such a low starting point, and compared to Guigu Zhuge, another figure known as Fate Revelation, who had consistently been dominating from the start, actually had more of a Sage's poise.

Michael personally leaned towards the second theory: Guigu Zhuge could be a top-tier, learned, Peak Witch, possibly a Research Witch preparing to switch to the Armed faction.

This would somewhat explain why she was so novice at first, as she was just beginning to delve into the realm of armed conflict and military strategy, and it's only natural to be unskilled on one's first foray onto the battlefield.

Then, Guigu Zhuge's terrifying rate of improvement could also be explained. After all, the paths converge eventually, and with years of scholarly pursuit and powerful learning ability backing her up, it wasn't impossible to amass so much military strategy expertise in such a short period of time.

No, it must be this possibility; after all, the Eight Trigrams Formation, a Great Achievement in military strategy, could only be concocted by a seasoned scholar with profound knowledge. Otherwise, it couldn't possibly be something a rookie witch could easily pull off by flipping through a few military manuals and playing a few games, right?

Impossible, it's definitely impossible.

In any case, Michael had been considering searching through the various battle groups within the Witch Military to find the idol that had risen to prominence over the past ten years. However, what she didn't foresee was that Guigu Zhuge wasn't a newcomer in the Witch Military, but rather a newcomer in the Witch Tribunal.

Miss Seraph recalled the Clown Grand Inquisitor mentioning that she had just become a Grand Inquisitor recently, and she hadn't even had time to form her own forces yet.

Moreover, the other party had even inquired about the Bagua Map before...

Thinking about it this way, doesn't it all add up?

At this point, the more she thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense, and Michael truly became excited. After all, for a fan, engaging in battle with their idol was a dream come true.

As for the dissatisfaction and even hostility that had arisen due to the Clown Grand Inquisitor's arrogant attitude, that had all but vanished without a trace.

Guigu Zhuge's disdain was completely expected, wasn't it? If I had that level of skill, I'd be looking down on people through my nostrils too.

In short, it's just that the great one's arrogance isn't arrogance, that's just being straightforward and holding one's ground.

However, after the initial ecstasy subsided, Michael inevitably felt troubled; having finally met her idol, she actually hoped to battle it out with all her might. But due to her misjudgement of the opponent's strength at the start, leading to her heavy losses and a shift from a great advantage to a great disadvantage, the game was now hard to continue.

Regardless of how much she admired her idol, Michael wasn't the sort of fool who would become reckless in pursuit of stardom. She saw Guigu Zhuge as a goal to work toward, not as a deity to be worshipped unquestionably and without resistance.

Angels, as the race best at manipulating the Power of Faith, have always been clear about emotions like admiration and veneration. After all, mishandling these could lead oneself into madness or into becoming a follower of others.

So even in a battle against her idol, Miss Seraph still wanted to win. She respected and even admired Zhuge Guigu a bit, but that didn't prevent her from wanting to prevail. Even though she understood that this hope was very slim at this junction, she definitely couldn't give up until the very end.
