I Became a Witch in a World Full of Urban Legends – Chapter 489

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Emperor of Humanity

The moment Mrs. Wang Meili gently placed the crown containing divine power on Luxianbei’s head, she understood what the “slight risk” that the Proxy Player Sister had mentioned meant.

In a daze.

A constant buzzing filled her ears, and amidst the illusion, she heard a whisper within that buzzing sound.

“Born a deity, proclaim its name…”

“Born a deity, proclaim its name… All illuminated by the sun and moon, and touched by wind and rain, must submit…”

It was as if a box containing terrifying things was being opened within Luxianbei’s body.

Even while in a deep slumber, she felt a frenzied torrent of spiritual energy erupting from the opened box, filling her body like inflating a balloon.

Just as she thought she might explode, the core of the mythological species urban legend, which had remained silent under the suppression of the Hundred-Armed Giant’s power for a long time, suddenly stirred.

Hot, astonishingly high-temperature spiritual energy circulated within her, invading her lungs and penetrating her bones, as if clinging to her soul, burning intensely.

It ignited everything that had surged into her body with the crown, leaving behind an essence that was difficult to burn, slowly merging into her form.

An indescribable pain instantly overwhelmed her, causing her to release an unconscious, hoarse cry of anguish.

In the little dining room filled with flowing light, Luxianbei floated in mid-air, her entire body seemed to have crystallized, her translucent skin cracking inch by inch, emanating terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations.

In an instant, the horrific power completely destroyed and turned the little room to dust, along with the buzzing sound, sweeping in all directions.

“Crack—crack—!”

With sounds like crystal shattering, Luxianbei’s body rapidly “collapsed,” bl**d gushing out from her body, evaporating into bl**d mist before it even touched the ground.

The next moment, accompanied by a thunderous bang, her body exploded like the destroyed little room, vanishing in place.

Did I™ just explode? Luxianbei thought.

As her consciousness gradually drifted away, she vaguely heard a whisper in her ear.

“Still can’t hold up? It seems I’ll have to help her a bit!”

“……”

That voice… is it the Proxy Player Sister?

The last thought flashed through Luxianbei’s mind, and then her consciousness fell into silence.

————

The afternoon sunlight fell.

Jiang Li walked on the streets of Huacheng, occasionally stopping to perform divination, checking Luxianbei’s location.

Once, twice… ten times…

With each divination result presented before her, she became increasingly certain that she was getting closer to Luxianbei.

However, just as she finished her fifteenth divination, intently gazing at the crystal in her hand waiting for results, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

According to the divination results, Luxianbei was supposed to be very close, yet for some reason, she had suddenly gone very far away.

So far that the information returned by the divination was almost equivalent to “no such person found.”

How could this happen? Could it be that Luxianbei was no longer in this special space? Or is it my divination faulty? Jiang Li frowned.

As she wondered whether some step in the divination had gone wrong to cause such a ridiculous result, an abnormal change suddenly occurred.

The bright sunlight suddenly darkened, and above in the sky, among the accumulating clouds, complex runes emerged, shining like stars.

Terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the entire city, making the air hot and sticky, as if magma were flowing in the void.

Immediately, pedestrians, vegetation, buildings… various things rapidly vanished before her eyes; everything in the city was shattering. By the time she regained her senses, she found herself utterly alone on the street.

The originally clean and tidy street was visibly deteriorating, with steel and concrete collapsing, rust appearing on metal signs, and the pavement looking as if it had been eaten away by insects, filled with bottomless holes.

“Boom—boom—!”

Terrifying rumbling echoed in the empty city.

Amidst the rumbling, the earth cracked open, revealing dark red flesh as it broke apart, making strange sounds, merging instantly upon contact.

Soon, large dark red figures emerged, breaking free from restraints, revealing their hideous faces, stretching their bodies, crawling as they left a thick, foul-smelling bl**d rain in their wake.

Gazing at those massive figures, Jiang Li’s expression deepened; she had a feeling that these large and distorted figures should be one entity, made entirely of the Inheritance Beast’s flesh.

As she contemplated, a thick fog spread throughout the city, swallowing everything.

————

In a daze, Luxianbei felt something slapping her face, each hit harder than the last, making her cheeks sting.

Amidst a series of mortifying “slap” sounds, Luxianbei awakened, opening her eyes to see the dilapidated rooftop and the pale, weak Proxy Player Sister.

“You’re awake? The buffs on you are fully stacked now; you can go deliver!”

Luxianbei was taken aback, glaring at the Proxy Player Sister, “What strange talk are you saying here? Watch out or I…”

As she spoke, she stood up to grab the Proxy Player Sister by the collar to teach her a lesson, only to suddenly realize she was two heads shorter than the Proxy Player Sister.

In an instant, her arrogant momentum extinguished.

Luxianbei tilted her head back, sizing up the Proxy Player Sister, squinting her eyes to ask, “Why are you here again? Does this mean it’s all over? Are you here to collect the proxy fee?”

“Not even close!” the Proxy Player Sister rolled her eyes at Luxianbei, “Even if I’m the legendary Proxy Sister, I can’t instantly k*ll the enemy, right?”

“Then what are you doing here?” Luxianbei retorted, “Hurry up and get to business!”

“I’m doing serious business here!” the Proxy Player Sister said seriously, “I’m here to inform you, unfortunately, your account is already wasted.”

“What?!” Luxianbei was shocked.

What the hell does ‘wasted’ mean? Do I have to delete my account and reroll?

“Simply put, your body couldn’t withstand Mrs. Wang Meili’s power and the massive spiritual energy contained in this God Realm Prototype, it exploded! Not even a whole piece of meat is left!”

“……”

Luxianbei expressionlessly raised her hands, gripping the Proxy Player Sister by the neck, “I’ll give you another chance to rephrase that. If I’m not satisfied with what I hear, I’ll snap your neck.”

“Setting aside whether you could snap my neck, even if you could…” the Proxy Player Sister shrugged, looking helpless, “This was something you agreed to before.”

“I agreed, but you said it was only a slight risk, right?” Luxianbei said fiercely.

“Uh… haha!” the Proxy Player Sister awkwardly chuckled twice, “High probability events leading to low probability outcomes; you haven’t gotten used to this kind of thing yet?”

“Moreover, didn’t I tell you earlier that inheriting Mrs. Wang Meili’s legacy isn’t that easy? Who knew you were so weak that you’d shatter upon contact.”

“From your words…?” Luxianbei tilted her head and raised her eyebrows, “Is it still my fault?”

“Not entirely! I share some responsibility too.” the Proxy Player Sister said thoughtfully, “I didn’t expect that skipping class and running away would be so difficult.”

“Even though Mrs. Wang Meili was only half a legend, her power was severely incomplete, making it hard for her to truly reach the Cataclysm Grade while she was alive. But even so, her power does possess some traits unique to Cataclysm Grade, which mostly spiritual ability users and urban legends’ bodies cannot bear.”

“However, the fortunate thing is, the essence of Mrs. Wang Meili’s power has already merged with your urban legend core, and the remaining task is to find a way to repair your body.”

Upon hearing this, Luxianbei frowned, “So what does the Cataclysm Grade power signify?”

“What?!” the Proxy Player Sister looked at Luxianbei in astonishment, “Haven’t you dealt with Pestilence Taijie, Haze God, and Jumeng, who are Cataclysm Grade legends? Haven’t you figured out anything?”

“……” Luxianbei thought for a moment, then replied seriously, “No!”

Although Jumeng was high up on the Siye Society’s wanted list and had terrifying levels of spiritual energy fluctuations, in Luxianbei’s eyes, she was no different from the mischievous Stinky Sister next door.

As for Pestilence Taijie and Haze God, she hadn’t encountered the former’s avatar, and she was too busy dodging the latter to have the mind to observe them.

The Proxy Player Sister facepalmed and explained, “Becoming Cataclysm Grade is like becoming a symbol, forming an inseparable connection with a certain event or thing in this world.”

“Ah? What’s the difference between that and how urban legend events produce legends during their transmission?” Luxianbei asked, puzzled.

“In simple terms, urban legends exist because of urban legend events, while Cataclysm Grade legends exist because they cause urban legend events to occur.” the Proxy Player Sister continued.

“Just like Haze God and Pestilence Taijie, their existence is no longer as simple as urban legend tales; they have become symbols of smog and plague.”

“Or take Jumeng for example; although she initially gained the Jumang power because of the faith of the people of Peach Source, over time, through her efforts, it is because of her that the Peach Source people believe in those miraculous events.”

“To simplify further, the world leaves an indelible impact on account of their existence, just like disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis.”

Luxianbei roughly understood the Proxy Player Sister’s meaning, nodding thoughtfully, and asked, “Then what does Mrs. Wang Meili’s power symbolize?”

“Human,” the Proxy Player Sister replied seriously, “To be precise, it symbolizes the one who leads others, that is… Emperor of Humanity.”

Luxianbei, “???”
