Witch Special

What's going on? Isn't it said that there is a cooperative relationship between the company and the other world? Why would I encounter a world will that has such great malice towards time travelers?

The reason the company sends its special agents to different worlds to search for travelers who have strayed from the main world is often because the world wills of those worlds have proactively requested the company's assistance, and the company is responsible for helping those other worlds resolve the problems caused by travelers. From a position of assistance, the company is clearly in a position of assistance, so its relationship with the world will should at least be friendly. However, the world will that Lin Zhenxi encountered now has an attitude towards the entire group of travelers that is so awful that it must be eliminated. If expressed in terms of different levels of favorability, it is clearly hatred.

Lin Zhenxi believed that since arriving in this world, she hadn't done anything out of the ordinary that would displease the world. Although she had brought many things to this world that didn't originally belong there, and perhaps wouldn't appear in the future, those things shouldn't affect the world's overall development.

Besides, even if it had a minor impact, what would it really matter? The development of the world is inherently diverse, each with its own unique characteristics and the products derived from them. Even slightly outrageous things can be quickly accepted by the inhabitants of that world. For example, the wands and various magical products of the wizard world, the spell card system of the world of the departed courtyard, the magic circuits and ceremonial equipment of the magician world, the magic devices of the wizard world, and the elves from a world prone to spatial shocks—all of these are products unique to their respective worlds, and each one is more outrageous than the other, yet haven't they all been well accepted by the natives of their respective worlds?

(PS1: After becoming a special agent for the company, Hayashi Maki has completed a total of six commissions, that is, he has traveled through six different worlds. Except for the fifth time when all his memories were inexplicably erased, the remaining five are all listed above.)

(PS2: Although Lin Zhenxi couldn't remember anything after her memory was wiped, two pages of witch career templates were added to the Witch Book. One of them was even sealed, and the one that could be used had the ability to stop time or even reverse it, which was terrifyingly valuable. This situation had never occurred when she traveled through other worlds, so Lin Zhenxi guessed that the danger level of that world must be higher than the other worlds. Although she completed the commission in that world, it was definitely a life-and-death test. Therefore, she marked that world as a forbidden zone from her heart and vowed never to set foot in it again.)

Even if something from one world were brought to another, it wouldn't be impossible to use it. Otherwise, it wouldn't explain how Lin Zhenxi could travel the universe with a magic wand. It can only be said that what might seem like a mountain falling on an individual's head is, at the global level, like a grain of sand falling on one's body—painless, even numb.

Assuming that the source of such strong malice in the world's will is not Lin Zhenxi, then it is self-evident who the remaining person is.

Oh my God, what unforgivable crime did Uncle Saitama commit to make the will of this world hate him so much that it is even unwilling to let him go and must let him die in a foreign land.

But Lin Zhenxi also knew that even if she asked directly, Saitama would most likely know nothing. Saitama himself lived a dull life every day, so it was better not to force him to think about such vague questions related to the will of the world.

But what should she do now? The world's will holds the key to Lin Zhenxi's return home. If the world's will doesn't open the door for her, she will be trapped in this world forever. She had clearly completed the mission entrusted by the company, but the partner company turned against her. Because of this reason, she can't return. This result is unacceptable to Lin Zhenxi!

What should I do then? Can I find the world will here, beat it up and force it to open the door...

Wait, why not? How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it?

Lin Zhenxi certainly couldn't handle something the size of the World Will, but she possessed a wealth of devious tricks. This time, the World Will had hidden itself like a loach in the mud, yet Lin Zhenxi still managed to snatch it out and make a sound. What did this mean? Even if this world's World Will refused to cooperate, Lin Zhenxi wasn't completely powerless to intervene.

Furthermore, Hayashi Maki has a truly powerful card in hand. Playing it is equivalent to gathering all five Dark Masters, guaranteeing victory. To this day, Hayashi Maki still doesn't know just how strong Saitama truly is. Every time she thinks she's reached Saitama's limit, he easily surpasses it, displaying even greater power. So, Hayashi Maki might as well speculate that perhaps Saitama is the most powerful being in this world, one that even the world will can't do anything to him. It's precisely because Saitama is so powerful that the world will, no matter what it does, can't kill him that it's so enraged that it makes irresponsible remarks like, "All time travelers should be eliminated."

In that case, Lin Zhenxi would send Saitama before the true form of the World Will, and let them face off against each other. Any grudges should be settled face to face. You, the World Will, are hiding in a dark corner, mumbling and secretly doing shady things. Aren't you afraid of embarrassing your peers?

In short, after a calm analysis with a little emotion, Lin Zhenxi decided on the next course of action.

In fact, it is similar to before. The only difference is how to deal with it after finding the world will.

Previously, Lin Zhenxi had only intended to build a signal amplification tower to amplify the effects of the Glazed Altar, scan the entire planet, find the dormant World Will, and awaken it. But now, knowing this world's World Will was up to no good, he decided to find it, block its entrance, and let Saitama teach it a lesson, showing it how brilliant the sunset glow was, how red the flowers were, and how wonderful life was.

Hayashi Maki didn't consider the possibility of Saitama being unable to defeat the World Will, because that was her only option. What else could she do? She'd done nothing wrong, so why would she bow down to him? Furthermore, Saitama had already provoked the World Will to the point of a deadly conflict, yet he was still thriving. Doesn't this simply prove that the World Will had no power over Saitama?

The signal amplification tower still needed to be built, and perhaps even several more. Lin Zhenxi needed to expedite the spread of the Liuli Altar around the world. While a single signal amplification tower could accomplish that, it wouldn't be very efficient. Previously, Lin Zhenxi had assumed the World Will was merely dormant, so she hadn't been anxious. She had plenty of time anyway, and there was no need to leave City Z to explore other unfamiliar cities. But now, the undisguised malice of the World Will was like a thick, dense cloud, gradually descending from above, suffocating Lin Zhenxi.

Don't forget the four stages of the world's response to time travelers: assimilation, rejection, strangulation, and mutual destruction. Judging by Saitama's experience, he's undoubtedly passed the assimilation stage and is likely in the final stage of rejection. The world's hostility toward him is boiling, and next up will be the most intense natural disasters. And if even natural disasters can't eliminate him, perhaps we'll enter the strangulation stage, where all beings become enemies.

Saitama still sincerely wants to be a hero. If he discovers that the people he protects want to kill him, Hayashi Maki is a little worried that the faith of this strongest and purest hero will collapse. What will happen then, no one knows, and no one wants to know.

In order to prevent the situation from further deteriorating, Lin Zhenxi needs to hurry.

If possible, Lin Zhenxi would have preferred Saitama to reduce his frequency of deployment. Saitama was now a moving source of ridicule. His mere existence, his breathing, his life, was an insult to the World Will, not to mention his tendency to wander about. Perhaps much of the World Will's hatred for Saitama stemmed from his own excessive arrogance.

After all, if everyone else didn't know that Saitama had killed all those monsters, how could the local tyrant, the World Will, not know? Those monsters were all messengers of death sent by the World Will to avenge humanity's environmental destruction, only to be instantly dispatched with a single punch by a passing, unassuming bald man before they could even accomplish anything significant. How could that not be infuriating? This had happened so often that Saitama's reputation with the World Will had probably been built up this way.

But Hayashi Maki also knew that being a hero who enforced justice was Saitama's ultimate pursuit in life. Unless Saitama could find something else to pursue, being a hero was the only thing he could do. Hayashi Maki had no power to deprive Saitama of this last bit of his passion, and even if it meant watching the situation worsen, she couldn't confine Saitama to a place where he wouldn't leave.

Therefore, the only option was to expedite the search for the world's will and leave before the world's resistance to Saitama escalated further. Otherwise, once all creatures in the world began to hostilely attack Saitama, it would be difficult to guarantee that Saitama's hands would not be stained with the blood of innocent people. If Saitama began a killing spree, Hayashi Maki would truly lose his position in bringing him back to the main world.

Saitama was too strong. If he turned into a murderous madman, Lin Maki wondered if the company could still suppress him in the main world. She couldn't let such an invincible demon return to the main world. If she couldn't bring Saitama back, Lin Maki herself wouldn't be able to return. She would have to spend the rest of her life in this world, playing hide-and-seek with the will of the world here. She absolutely couldn't accept that.

No matter what, Lin Zhenxi's ultimate goal was to return to the main world and go home. This was her ultimate goal, and it had never changed.
