Otaku Witch

Dorothy carefully recalled the traits of the White Night Dragon and realized that it indeed suited her quite well.

Although strictly speaking, the White Night Dragon is not considered a particularly powerful dragon type, it even carries a reputation of being somewhat of a decorative piece among legendary dragon species, with its most outstanding characteristic being its beauty.

Yes, the most beautiful dragon, a truly deserving title.

The splendid white feathers, the perfect dragon body, the White Night traits that naturally emit brilliance upon appearance, almost akin to a dragon succubus, an absolute goddess, capable of capturing the hearts of countless great dragons merely by showing up, regardless of gender, slaughtering all with charm.

But besides its looks, the White Night Dragon doesn’t have many other notable traits. It doesn’t possess control over Rainbow Power like the Rainbow Dragon, nor can it wield time like the Time Dragon, and it doesn’t have power control characteristics like the Power Dragon.

To be precise, its dragon physique does have the strength expected of a legendary dragon species, but it’s merely at an average level, seemingly weaker in comparison to some close-combat specialized dragon types renowned for their robust dragon physiques, such as the Destruction Dragon and Rage-Slash Dragon.

In conclusion, if a witch purely pursued strength, she probably wouldn’t consider the White Night Dragon template worthy.

However, as a homebody witch, she wasn’t excessively focused on pursuing strength. In reality, she might care more about appearance than strength, since the current version of power shifts within one or two updates, but looking good lasts a lifetime.

Moreover, after several transformations, Dorothy even went to lengths to study the traits of the White Night Dragon, especially because this dragon transformation technique was personally created by the Dragon King.

Nidhogg’s creation must be a masterpiece after all.

A homebody witch was really unwilling to believe that the esteemed Dragon King could inadvertently produce merely a decorative forbidden curse, firmly convinced that the White Night Dragon must conceal some other traits, surely due to her insufficient development of this forbidden curse, leading to her lack of understanding.

Yes, back when she chose this transformation curse, the description mentioned the Power of Fate or something, perhaps it was because of her fate-resistant physique that caused the White Night Dragon’s fate traits to be absorbed or something.

This was her way of reassuring herself.

Yet, after meticulous research, she surprisingly discovered a hidden trait of the White Night Dragon, which was that this dragon transformation technique indeed had vast potential for upgrades.

Low emotional intelligence, a decorative dragon type, good-looking and sturdy but otherwise useless.

High emotional intelligence, a blank canvas, solid foundation, providing ample freedom for development with a promising future.

This wasn’t Dorothy’s wishful thinking but the reality of the situation.

She was astonishingly discovering that the White Night Dragon seemed to be the most standard dragon template, versatile and adaptable, allowing you to freely transplant any characteristic of other dragon types onto it without encountering any rejection or conflict.

Simply put, you can take the White Night Dragon as your prototype and then select any traits from other great dragons you desire, ultimately customizing a unique template most suitable for you.

This high degree of freedom is indeed quite remarkable.

Although once witches reach a certain level of power, they no longer need to rigidly follow template evolution; they begin to think outside the box, evolving according to personal needs to eventually create a unique perfect form.

Just like the Yemengade hanging around Dorothy’s neck.

This ancestral sister’s dragon and serpent form lacks a prototype; among the pureblood dragons born and bred in the Dragon Realm, this form does not exist. Yemengade’s current dragon body was invented and custom-designed by herself to suit her needs.

This form is also referred to by witches as the "Divine Body."

This is quite simple and intuitive, essentially representing a God-like form.

For witches like Dorothy who embark on the Path of Omniscience, evolution specialization may not be overly significant, but for witches like Alice, aiming to tread the Path of Omnipotence, the choice of specialization is quite crucial.

Take, for example, the need for a fire-element ability. If it’s a homebody witch, she might just learn the Fireball Technique and be done with it, but if it’s Alice, convincing her to study would be as hard as life, so the little witch might choose to evolve a specialization with fire-breathing capabilities instead.

This is the main distinction between the Path of Omniscience and the Path of Omnipotence.

The Path of Omniscience emphasizes mastering as much magic as possible, whereas the Path of Omnipotence prioritizes talent specialization.

Generally speaking, witches on the Path of Omniscience have diverse methods, while those on the Path of Omnipotence tend to have stronger power; the strength brought by talent specialization is indeed far superior to simple spell casting.Your fireball technique might not measure up to their fire-breathing.

The "Divine Body" concept is also proposed by witches on the Path of Omnipotence, within their vision, if someday they reach the pinnacle of evolution, evolving their bodies into omnipotent existences, they can naturally ascend to godhood.

Yet, the ideal is full; reality is quite skinny.

The practical path of evolution is difficult; you can’t evolve however you wish. You must consider the compatibility issues of talent specialization as many specialized talents conflict with each other. Forcefully evolving may end up disastrous.

Take the classic example of a mermaid template attempting to evolve a flame-body specialization or something, that would be pure folly.
