The villainess shall be mine-Chapter 71 Verte

From the beginning, people had always feared things they didn't understand.

Even progress and evolution were not always met with open arms, so someone practicing something as dark and ominous sounding as witchcraft would certainly meet persecution.

"Find that which and let's kill her! She will bring disaster to our city!"

An enraged crowd filled the dark hallways, and the streets, holding torches and weapons of all kinds in their hands.

Hiding from this crowd, a woman peeked from a window, looking down at the streets.

She was a woman in her forties and had a different aura from a normal person. She looked like she was not ignorant and had enough knowledge to overthrow a whole country.

However, this woman was now being persecuted by the people that were once her neighbors, her friends, and her family, and the reason was the knowledge that she had acquired and how she had used it.

In this world, what she attempted to do was considered witchcraft, an act of profanity against the gods would evoke their wrath, or so people believed.

But why did this woman have to go to such an extent? The people surrounding her would never understand her motive, because people's emotions were not the same, even if they go through the same thing.

This woman desired one thing, to the point that she would even throw away her humanity to do it. She wanted them back, her children, her family, and she was ready to do anything for the sake of her wish.

Thus, she turned into the only thing that was powerful enough to accomplish such a thing, she risked it all and practiced dark magic.

The source of dark magic was corruption, another form of energy that existed and expanded throughout the multiverse, similar to primordial particles.

The country that she lived in was no different from England during the industrial revolution, so most people didn't believe in the existence of supernatural powers anymore, at least those who didn't go to church.

However, even though primordial particles were limited or almost nonexistent in this universe, some individuals possessed special abilities and awakened their gift, even though it was weak.

This woman had awakened her gift which let her peek a few seconds into the future.

At first, she thought that these were just some kind of flashbacks, but when she saw the death of her children in one of her visions and then the whole accident had happened like how she saw it, she couldn't help but believe in the existence of supernatural power, and of course, people didn't believe her.

"Maybe you are cursed, you should go to the church!"

They treated her as a mentally ill person, and as time passed, she was treated badly by her peers, and of course, they didn't let her alone and always find ways to make fun of her. Until the day when they found that the woman was practicing dark magic, and as if they waited for something like this to happen, they showed their twisted side who were just bored of their own lives and wanted to see violence.

"The things that you seek are not here. The thing that can grant your wish doesn't exist in this world." A voice cem from behind the woman as she peeked through the window. The woman was not alone inside the room where she hide, and she knew that her time was counted.

"What should I do?" She asked, looking at the mysterious person who appeared in front of her not long ago.

The mysterious person handed an item to her. "Look for the fragments of the Tree of life. This will lead you there."

"What is this?"

"When you use it, you will understand. Your knowledge is wasted in the world." The mysterious person said, then disappear as mysteriously as they appeared.

The woman looked at the small transparent bottle containing a silver substance.

"She is inside!"

"Move! I will break the door!" 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Boom!

"Huh? Hey, there's no one here?"

"What, how is that possible, we searched everywhere. How did she manage to sneak past us?"

Unfortunately for these bloodthirsty people, they would never find the woman, and they would never know what happened. Legends about her spread and she came to be known as the Blood witch.

The woman had already gone inside of the mirror dimension, where she spent almost hundreds of years in an environment that could turn a sane person into a psychopath.

"Where am I? Where am I? Where am I? Where is this? Where am I?" She didn't even remember how many times she had asked the same question.

At first, everything looked the same, a monotonous world, but then it changed every time she thought about something different or used her power to find what would happen next.

She wandered around the mirror dimension for a long time until…

"Where am I? Where am I? What is this? What is this?"

She saw a single tree branch on the ground and she looked around, but no one was there.

This was extremely weird because there was no sign of whatsoever vegetation in the area.

She had never forgotten about her real goal, but as time passed by, she was more and more lost in her imagination, as if she was always dreaming, and was disconnected from reality.

She picked the tree branch and stared at it for a long time, then suddenly, the tree's branch glowed and turned into a baby.

She wasn't aware of it, but the tree of life branch fused with her soul, giving her the ability to create one living being. The thing that she wanted the most, was a baby.

However, it was not her children, so she thought that the mysterious person had tricked her.

However, she realized that the mysterious person never said that she would get her children back, so she understood that they played with her emotions using words.

However, she didn't understand why the person went through all of that trouble.

Still, she wasn't so heartless to the point of discarding the cute baby. So, she called the baby Verte and took care of her.

Also, her power was amplified and she acquired the ability to peek through the multiple futures that awaited her, so she could manage to get out of the mirror world.

However, she made a mistake and passed through a dimension where time was accelerated, so when she came to Adam's world, she was already an old woman.

That was when she met Liu, used her power for the last time, and saw Adam.

The events after that were already told, which lead to the situation where Adam needed a miracle to survive.
