Chapter 1282: Chapter 873: Cross Shareholding (Part 4)
Additionally, the Witchâs Church does have some decency. Except for when Tao Yu killed one of its promising members, Beatrice intervened, and overall theyâve been quite rational, refraining from further attacking the Development Zone.
Limiting the conflict to the disagreement with Earth Dragon City, rather than targeting the Pioneer.
Given that, Tao Yu has no intention of packing up and leaving them to maintain peace; instead, after collecting the benefits here, he invited CC and Beatrice to visit the Space Airship, leaving Thanos to consolidate the situation in this worldâŠ
On the deck of the Space Airship, a small open-air tea party was set up with sun umbrellas and sun chairs.
CC in a white swimsuit and Naberale in a black formal dress sat in their seats, each possessing their unique charm.
Involving âguestsâ with Saintly Positions, Natasha and the others werenât present here, just Tao Yu, Scathach, and Esdeath sitting around.
Naberale and Shatiya in maid uniforms served beside them, laying out specialty tea snacks from various realms.
âTry this, itâs red tea I brought back from the Current World, originating from a culinary world, from thousand-year-old tea trees, picked by Spring Elves, crafted by tea art masters, the taste is quite excellent.â
Tao Yu lifted a cup of red tea and sipped, a refreshing fragrance spreading in his mouth, bringing with it a slight mental invigoration.
For ordinary Pioneers, it could already be considered an enhancement tool.
However, for Tao Yu, itâs just a nice flavor.
Beatrice, who loves red tea, also took a sip, her eyes slightly lighting up.
âIndeed, you Pioneers have quite the collection, Iâm very satisfied.â
âThere was some misunderstanding between us before, but itâs not a matter of life and death. If the Witchâs Church is willing to compensate, Iâm not an unreasonable person.â
Tao Yu also raised his teacup with elegance, the Witch trait enabling him to easily endear himself to anyone.
Judging by his demeanor, one wouldnât guess Beatrice was his prisoner.
Though Beatrice appeared calm, she was aware, pondering for a moment before smiling sweetly.
âYou previously paid no mind to our existence, do you have any industry here? Should we forge an alliance to protect this place for you?â
âWell, itâs not out of the question. Iâm a bit curious, you seem eager to recruit, do you aim to incorporate everyone with the Witch concept, any special Authority found, or some other reason?â
Tao Yu is genuinely curious.
Speaking of the Witch concept, he himself possesses it too, and could benefit alongside.
Beatrice glanced at Tao Yu, holding her teacup graciously and pondering a while.
âItâs nothing that canât be shared. We initially were just a group of unfortunate souls banding together for warmth. You know, threats from the unknown Abyss are everywhere. As we gained strength, our Witchâs Church indeed received some Abyssal conceptâs Kaji.â
Beatrice seemed to consider how to explain.
âAs long as our groupâs âWitchesâ increase in number, all members receive certain enhancements, plus practice bonuses can escalate; though not much, little by little, no one refuses it.â
Beatriceâs words gave Tao Yu some insight; he had tried faith convergence in Game of Thrones with initial results, in a way the Witchâs Church was perhaps a refined version of this concept.
Centered around several Saintly Position Witches, they accomplished this âsettingâ through autonomous intertwining.
Chances are, they possess a World Fragment as a stronghold, quite compatible with Witches.
Tao Yu pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully.
âI have a friend, sheâs a Witch, wondering if she could try joining you allâŠâ
His remark didnât surprise Beatrice much; looking towards Scathach, she said.
âIs it her? I think she has great potential; collaboration and mutual integration are indeed the fastest methods, we wonât reject it.â
âSheâs also possible, but Iâm referring to someone elseâŠâ
âŠ
âHello, my name is Eve.â
Tao Yu transformed into his Limbo Avatar, while his actual body altered into Eveâs appearance.
Since joining or contracting might be substantial, having his actual self provide the addition was necessary.
However, compared to the original Eve from the Mysterious World, though Tao Yu had features below, he could now unabashedly display the charming addition normally suppressed, instantly capturing Beatriceâs gaze upon appearance.
Even CC paused her pizza-eating action, looking slightly amazed and said.
âA stunning beauty indeed.â
âTruly rare to see, quite unexpected.â
Beatrice raised an eyebrow; she sensed this one truly possessed a strong Witch concept!
Born naturally fit to join our Witchâs Church!
However, Beatrice then frowned slightly and said.
âAre you and Jack siblings? There seems to be some resemblance.â
âSort of, can you tell me if Iâm worthy enough, is there any ceremony required?â
Tao Yu ambiguously replied.
Even with a simulation made, he remained curious about the Witchâs Churchâs actual situation.
âFor peripheral members, thereâs no real ceremony, just some restrictions are imposed. But to become a core member, a contract is required. If weâre forging an alliance and you choose someone to join us, Iâm all for itâŠâ
Beatrice had secretly employed their methods, having completed deliberations with several others.
Being one of the few Saintly Positions in the Witchâs Church, Beatrice was naturally the highest in the Church hierarchy and closely bonded with the others.
Even if saving her was involved, theyâd consent regardless.
The current scenario, at least for her, seemed quite favorable.
With the fortressâs Kaji and contractual constraints, the counterpart could become trustworthy.
âAs for the contract, I have no objection.â
Tao Yu said without hesitation.
A contract seems custom-made for him anyway, since he doesnât suffer negative effects.
At present, the Abyssal Evil Godâs negative soul attributes donât bother him!
He didnât believe the Witchâs Church could provide a constraint beyond this.
This was essentially akin to a cross-shareholding, turning both sides into insidersâŠ
