The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 924: Pangea's Situation



Moon Colony, Pure Mana Zone

During the past two weeks since Vaan disappeared, thousands of Black Rose citizens have received the opportunity to visit the pure mana-rich subterranean region on the other side of the moon's dimensional rift.

With each passing day, the development of space exploration and the moon colony grew faster, allowing more and more Black Rose citizens to enter the pure mana zone for training.

More than a hundred witches from the earliest batches had already advanced to the Peak- stage High Witch rank, while five thousand witches from the later batches had all reached the Early-stage High Witch rank at least.

For Peak-stage Senior Witches who have been stuck at their bottleneck for more than ten years, it only took them a maximum of twenty-four hours to achieve a breakthrough to the High Witch rank.

The record holder was a Peak-stage Senior Witch who advanced in under an hour.

However, the battle witch who did it was also someone who had been stuck at the Peak-stage Senior Witch rank for more than 250 years.

On the other hand, Peak-stage Senior Witches with fewer years of experience took up to a maximum of seventy-two hours to achieve the same result.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

During this period, Henrietta, Astoria, and Eniwse also brought their own people to cultivate a group of talented elites to govern their countries and operate the Shadow Witch Order.

In particular, the Shadow Witch Order required the most talent due to the high-risk espionage work in foreign countries.

As such, Eniwse's Shadow Witch Order was given a priority quota of five hundred out of the limited slots.

Nevertheless, the current moon colony had already expanded its capacity limit to a hundred thousand people.

Once the entire wreckage of the old moon core colony was restored, the moon core colony's capacity limit could expand up to two million people. Moreover, this wasn't accounting for the moon base under construction on the surface.

Ever since the divine soil that contained the Divine Tree of Life's essence was discovered, crop cultivation on the moon's surface had progressed very rapidly.

In fact, it was too fast that it wasn't possible to build a dome to contain all of its oxygen and spirit energy production.

Doing so would only cause a great tragedy.

After all, before the oxygen and spirit energy levels could reach the state of causing the dome to explode, everyone living under the dome would already be dead.

The ever-increasing pressure would kill everyone through oxygen poisoning or spirit energy poisoning.

As such, the moon colonists had no choice but to cultivate most of the crops in an open environment. As for the crops with the dome habitat, periodic dome openings were necessary to release the elevated pressure and maintain safety levels.

Unfortunately, most of the oxygen and spirit energy dumping would be lost to space. The

moon did not have enough mass to form an atmosphere like Pangea.

That said, it wasn't impossible to create it artificially through large-scale magic and formations.

However, that was a problem too early for the colonists to tackle.

After all, the moon base did not lack food or living space; it lacked people, which was limited by the Heavenreacher and the space station's capacity potential to send them all there.

Otherwise, the moon colonies would be constantly filled to full capacity, and the development of space exploration and moon colonization would achieve even more rapid progress.

In addition to the citizens of the Black Rose Empire, special moon entries were also given to important people of the Holy Knight Empire and the Great Ratholos Empire.

On the other hand, the newer members of the United Nations were only granted brief visitation rights to the space station. It was only enough for them to confirm the existence of spirit energy and bring the news back to their countries.

Nevertheless, everyone spoke positively after personally experiencing the miraculous effect of spirit energy – It was a source of energy that could allow men to compete with the witches' mainstream cultivation of mana.

Once the news spread, more unaffiliated countries considered joining the United Nations, allowing the Black Rose Empire to cement its position as a new superpower on the continent.

Its distance to hegemony became closer after the Great Ratholos Empire intervened in the messy political situation of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance and brought the Eastern Wind Kingdom under its control.

Of course, it was the Eastern Wind Kingdom that reached out to the Great Ratholos Empire first to seek its help. After all, the Eastern Wind Kingdom had been pressured and exploited by the other eight kingdoms in the alliance due to its weaker strength.

As such, the Eastern Wind Kingdom offered the Great Ratholos Empire its loyalty in exchange for pulling it away from the Nine Kingdoms Alliance's control.

Ultimately, the rest of the eight kingdoms in the Nine Kingdoms Alliance capitulated to join the United Nations.

They had subordinated themselves to the Black Rose Empire and Holy Knight Empire out of fear of the Eastern Wind Kingdom relying on the Great Ratholos Empire to seek revenge for past grievances.

However, the Eastern Wind Kingdom had no such intentions.

King Herman Winston of the Eastern Wind Kingdom was happy enough that his country could rid itself of the tumor eating away at its economy.

Nevertheless, Emperor Varan was still considered a wise ruler. He knew the loyalty it earned from the Eastern Wind Kingdom was not reliable because it lacked sincerity and was forced

out of necessity.

As such, he provided the Eastern Wind Kingdom with manpower and resources to help develop its marine business and restore its economy.

Under such generosity, the Eastern Wind Kingdom became ever-grateful to the Great Ratholos Empire. It didn't cost much to Emperor Varan, but it was an unforgettable act of kindness to the people of the Eastern Wind Kingdom.

The people also started to wonder why their country hadn't joined the Great Ratholos Empire sooner, given that it was treated so well compared to the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.

On another front, the Freedom Federation had become especially anxious due to the lack of progress in its negotiation with the Black Rose Empire. After all, the cards it had for negotiating were weakening as the Black Rose Empire's position grew stronger over time.

Henrietta had found all kinds of reasons and excuses to delay and postpone their negotiations.
