Even with Dorothy's already magical-equipped brain, she almost crashed at this moment.
Although she had a vague premonition when she first heard the name Eve, the homebody witch still felt unsure how to respond when the conjecture turned into reality, looking at the nun in front of her, who looked identical to Mother Dragon.
Well, if you look closely, Nun Eve and Mother Dragon Euphilia still have some differences. Their faces are almost indistinguishable, both bearing some resemblance to Dorothy—an absolute beauty in the Mortal Realm—though not achieving the flawless perfection of the Face of God.
However, there are differences if you look at their demeanor and physique.
Euphilia, as the Dragon Witch, has a physique far exceeding human proportions. At over two meters tall, she stands as a giantess in any crowd. Moreover, as the Dragon Queen, Euphilia's demeanor is domineering and majestic, akin to...
No, she is an Empress.
In contrast, Nun Eve's physique is much more normal, similar to Dorothy's current form, standing at around 1.75 meters—though tall among human women, it's not exaggerated. This nun's demeanor is serene and elegant, akin to the giant full moon behind her, both cold and mysterious.
Like the Goddess of the Moon.
This difference quickly helped Dorothy calm down.
Father Adam looked almost identical to her biological father Adam, in both appearance and personality, so recognizing that father posed no pressure.
As for whether to acknowledge this mother, that still required careful deliberation. After all, she was recognizing a mother, not Euphilia's face.
Even though Nun Eve might be just another past incarnation of Mother Dragon, recognition shouldn't be hasty, as one can have many past lives, but only one true mother.
Moreover, if Father Adam didn't lie this time, Nun Eve indeed abandoned her family for power. It's not worth recognizing such a mother.
Humph, merely a phantom from Witch's Night, a trivial NPC...
Dorothy let out a cold snort in her heart but soon felt deflated.
Forget it, it wouldn't be the first time Adam was unreliable; better not jump to conclusions this time. Otherwise, I'll be the one embarrassed.
Just, she was genuinely becoming increasingly curious about her identity. If it was only Adam, it could be considered a coincidence; Lilith's emergence complicated things, and now with Eve's face similar to Mother Dragon's, the homebody witch realized her identity was increasingly bizarre.
Oh my, could I really be in a second playthrough?
The homebody witch took a deep breath, feeling a bit toothachy.
She furtively glanced at Denisha beside her, then hesitated to speak.
If anyone could answer her doubts, it could only be the good sister beside her.
She wanted to ask directly but dared not.
Seeming to sense her sister's gaze, Denisha also looked at her and shook her head.
"I don't know what's going on either. I only know you are indeed my childhood sweetheart. For other matters, I have no idea; perhaps only Mother knows. This was all her arrangement."
Miss Shepherdess then curiously glanced at Nun Eve opposite.
Naturally, her "Mother" referred to the Witch World's world consciousness itself.
This was her first contact with Dorothy's biological mother, after all, in the original timeline, this witch who once tried to incite internal chaos in the Glory Sect had long been burnt at the stake by the Church.
However, the consciousness always appreciated this witch she had never met. Thanks to her efforts, the Divine King could ultimately accept a large number of awakened ex-Paladin and nuns from the original Church. Much of the initial Angel Witch's prototype came from those church rebels.
One could say, the Divine King's ultimate success in saving the world owed much to this witch who infiltrated the Church.
Denisha murmured this name.
Beside her, Dorothy naturally overheard her good sister's murmur, the homebody witch suddenly frowned.
Though the title surprisingly matched Nun Eve's appearance, Dorothy's impression of her mother was dominated by Mother Dragon, whose image...
Hmm, War Witch, Calamity Witch, Annihilation Witch, any of those fit; the title Moon Witch...
What to say, it's like awarding a distinguished lady prize to a valiant female general, just feels incongruent.
Moreover, Dorothy never sensed any moon-related elements in her world-shattering punch Mother Dragon.
She now increasingly doubted whether Nun Eve had any real connection to her Mother Dragon, perhaps they just looked identical.
Hmm, speaking of twin sisters, there's already a Moon Witch, why not a Sun Witch? Though Mother Dragon's image doesn't match the serene moon goddess, it perfectly aligns with the scorching sun.
Just, speaking of the sun...
Instinctively, Dorothy wanted to look up at the sky, but she could only see the ceiling underground.
Sigh, guess why the Lord of Glory is named Lord of Glory? It's not because she's truly glowing white, but because she really is the sun itself.
