From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

```

The complex red brand appeared on the back of the baby's hand.

Lilian murmured to herself, "So it is, she is the reincarnation of the 'Witch of Demise'..."

Looking at his daughter in his wife's arms, Andre took a deep breath, his hands shaking slightly, clearly feeling the distinctiveness of his daughter.

It was a distinctiveness that was innate.

Andre just wished for his daughter's happiness, and it wouldn't matter at all if she wasn't an Extraordinary Exponent, but he had never imagined she would be the reincarnation of the Witch of Demise.

She was fated to live a life that could never be ordinary...

Christine looked at her daughter for a long time, feeling that the small baby in her arms was like a fragile porcelain doll, so frail that it seemed she would shatter the moment she loosened her grip.

Even as someone who had long been regarded as quite cold-hearted in her family, a special emotion welled up from deep within her at that moment.

Her heart softened, softer than it had ever been.

I will protect you forever.

No matter what makes you different, no matter what happens, no matter what kind of hardship and pain fate has in store for you.

Christine gently kissed her daughter's forehead, then looked up at Andre and said, as agreed, "Give our daughter a name, Andre."

Andre nodded, smiling unconsciously as he looked at his daughter.

"Let's call her Hecate."

The Last Blood, who also call themselves the Witches' Seclusive Order, are also known to outsiders as the witch cult.

It was a very ancient secret organization; although there were not many members within the organization, all were composed of Extraordinary Exponents, and they possessed some ancient techniques and alchemical items.

For thousands of years, the secret organization revered the "Witch of Demise" as a deity, believing her to be even more powerful than the so-called True Gods.

She is one of the legendary elements of destruction, it is said that if certain special conditions are met, the "Witch of Demise" will be fully resurrected, bringing destruction to the world in an instant with its revival.

The Last Blood is, in other words, the bloodline of the "Witch of Demise."

For many years, the three drops of blood left behind by the "Witch of Demise" have been incredibly powerful extraordinary artifacts, known to the world as the "Last Blood."

Each drop of 'Last Blood' possesses drastically different formidable powers, almost on par with single-digit numbered Forbidden relics.

The most important thing is, members of the Last Blood can use them without any personal sacrifice; they just need to offer sufficient sacrifices to activate them and unleash their tremendous power.

"It is said that the soul of the Witch of Demise was divided into seven, and the reincarnation of the seven witch soul shards will become seven Witch Candidates."

"Each soul shard has the potential to resurrect the 'Witch of Demise,' or rather, the division into seven was perhaps intentionally orchestrated by the 'Witch of Demise' herself to ensure her own successful revival."

"The leaders of the three Last Blood factions split several decades ago; unable to persuade each other, they decided to conduct a grand free-for-all, or rather, a terrifying and cruel 'ritual.' Only the last person standing among the seven will become the true vessel, used to resurrect the fearsome 'Witch of Demise'..."

Christine looked tenderly at the daughter in her arms, suddenly finding it strange that Hecate, who had just been born, had not shown any signs of crying, but instead was smiling.

She quickly recalled the information Uncle Byrne had mentioned, murmuring to herself:

"That's right, based on the information we have, 'Madam Ice Wine,' also known as the 'Silver Poet,' 'Spirit Essence,' this silver descendant woman with three identities is also one of the reincarnated soul shards of the Witch of Demise."

"As for who the other Witch Candidates are, we're still not sure... but my daughter, she must also be..."

Andre furrowed his brow deeply, speaking decisively, "If that's the case, we are destined to be enemies with the Last Blood!"

"It seems so," nodded Lilian.

Chris had been silent all along.

He seemed to be pondering something.

The heretics of the secret organization known as the "Last Blood" had always done little, unlike the Stars Embrace Order and Words of Tranquility who were much more active. They spent most of their time playing a murderous game among themselves, so the various forces couldn't be bothered with them.

And the Fischer family had basically never had direct contact with the Last Blood; the two were like parallel lines that never crossed.

But the sudden turn of events changed everything.

Their sudden, irreconcilable conflict with the Last Blood had emerged!

As everyone fell into contemplation, and Christine and Andre's expressions grew ever more bitter, Lilian suddenly spoke up excitedly.

```

"The great Lord of the Lost has issued an oracle!"

Everyone was jolted and turned their gaze to Lilian, with Christine and Andre in particular looking most excited and tense.

Their hearts were in turmoil, completely unsure whether their daughter's current situation was a blessing of destiny or a terrible curse.

But perhaps the oracle from the Lord of the Lost could shed light on her future.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lilian took a deep breath and said seriously,

"There is no need to fear, all of this is arranged by the Lord of the Lost, it is fate, nothing bad, but a blessing from the Lord. Your daughter is not only a candidate for a witch but will also become the pride and future of the Fischer family."

Karl could distinctly feel the uniqueness of those eyes, which contained tremendous energy.

Owing to having a seventh of the Witch of Demise's soul shard, Hecate was born with an extremely powerful spiritual power and possessed a talent that not even Chris, Karno, or Helen from the three families could compete with.

It might be due to Destiny's Trajectory influencing each other in secret, similar to how Irene's Holy Grail Destiny's Trajectory once allowed those around her to succeed more easily, thus the Fischer family had a much higher likelihood of birthing a genius compared to other Blood Receivers.

And so-called genius aptitude is merely the threshold of the Heavenly Enlightenment Level; ninety-nine out of a hundred powerful experts of Heavenly Enlightenment are considered geniuses, and the remaining one, generally speaking, would be akin to a player who cheats.

According to Karl's conjectures, the fallen Witch of Demise might have possessed a power almost godlike, far beyond what ordinary Heavenly Enlightenment powerful experts could compare to her back then.

"As long as she can grow up safely, she will be able to achieve great success, but as the reincarnation of part of a witch's soul, there might be certain issues with her personality..."

He now knew which path Hecate was suited to tread upon.

That infant, at this moment, was observing everything around her.

Especially focusing on him.

"Indeed, a very special pair of eyes, the 'Void Eye-Pupil' with the ability to penetrate all things."

——

Christine and Andre both let out a sigh of relief, and joy reappeared in their exchanging glances.

Thank goodness!

Their daughter's condition was not a curse but an arrangement of the great Lord of the Lost! A predestined blessing and gift! Since that was the case, even if she might face challenges in the future, even oppose Last Blood, they felt she could surely live through to the end.

Christine suddenly said, "But if Hecate is the last witch to survive, won't she become the vessel for the Witch of Demise's resurrection?"

Andre shook his head, saying calmly, "Actually, as long as not all witches die, wouldn't that be enough?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, indeed a sound line of thought.

Since the last living candidate among the seven witch candidates will become the vessel, if someone is always alive, Hecate won't be possessed by the Witch of Demise.

Lilian suddenly spoke again, "The great Lord of the Lost wants me to grant Hecate the Power of Consecution through a Magic Potion now!"

"Now?"

Christine was stunned, finding it unbelievable. She knew their daughter had just been born, and according to Fischer family tradition, one received the Power of Consecution at the age of ten.

But the will of the Lord of the Lost could not be refused, nor questioned.

Following the will of the great Lord of the Lost, Lilian personally concocted the potion of the Path of Revelation 1st Rank, the "Enlightened One."

Hecate, still in swaddling clothes, took the potion, becoming the second person to embark on the most arduous Path of Revelation.

There was no need to draw a new Destiny's Trajectory on her, as the little infant, like Byrne and Helen, was born with a very strong and special "Destiny's Trajectory."

Her name was "Demonic Woman."

Due to the Destiny's Trajectory of "Witch's Daughter," Hecate was born with an understanding and analytical capability surpassing adults, and these two abilities would continue to grow as her experiences became richer.

Yes, although Hecate was still an infant in swaddling clothes, her mind was maturely observing everything, thinking in secrecy.

She even subconsciously maintained reverence through those special eyes, faintly sensing Karl's presence.

She would remember everything that happened this night.

However, the Destiny's Trajectory of "Demonic Woman" also had an obvious side effect: Hecate's capacity for emotional stimulation and feedback would be much lower than the average person, her emotions would be exceptionally stable, even indifferent.
