Otaku Witch

Faced with this, even the Dragon King Nidhogg felt quite helpless.

After all, she is not the Omniscient and Omnipotent True God; she cannot alter the grand trajectory of fate.

Therefore, although everyone deeply regretted not being able to preserve their sister’s relics, fortunately, there was a backup plan. They would emulate Denisha by converting another of Dorothy’s wondrous cities—Holy City Pandora—into the Underworld and transform Dragon Mountain City into the Land of the Dead.

Thus, Nibelungen was born.

However, none of them anticipated that after Nibelungen was reborn on the remnants of Dragon Mountain City, an unexpected development occurred.

This fortress city, which they had no hope of successfully summoning a spirit for, inexplicably awakened after its rebirth.

Indeed, it gained spiritual wisdom and nurtured a Ship Spirit. Or perhaps it should be called a City Spirit.

In short, this thing only truly came to life after dying once.

Regarding this unique situation, even Nidhogg was at a loss. They called upon the Divine King to help investigate.

Meanwhile, Denisha recalled something Dorothy had said during Witch’s Night.

"Keep striving. Though my Dragon Mountain-class succeeded, I hope that next time I return, I will see a Dragon Mountain-class of your own." (Chapter 550)

It makes sense. A warship can only be awakened by a genuine shipbuilder. Dragon Mountain City was originally Dorothy’s creation, so no amount of upgrading efforts by Nidhogg and the Round Table Knights could imbue it with spirituality.

But after the original Dragon Mountain City’s destruction, the newly formed Nibelungen became their own creation, thus genuinely birthing spiritual wisdom.

Regardless, everyone was quite delighted with Nidhogg’s emergence.

After all, this child felt like something they and Dorothy had co-created, cherished by all the Dragon Heads.

Letting such a child grow up in the cold and lifeless Underworld seemed cruel, so ultimately, the Round Table Knights decided to "resurrect" her.

Following a round table vote, Morgan was chosen as the child’s host, given that Morgan was originally a Warship Girl and akin to Nibelungen, this City Spirit, and Morgan, being the gentlest and most composed among the Dragon Heads, was certainly the right choice for a mother.

As for the "father" role, the Dragon Heads exchanged glances, ultimately settling on Arthur.

They felt that other Dragon Heads had too many bad habits; they were quite self-aware that being a father would surely lead the child astray.

As for Nidhogg the Dragon King, forget it. At least Arthur was still human; he’s almost half-divine.

The Divine loves humanity but does not favor individuals unless that person is Dorothy, Denisha, or Adam.

However, as it turns out, these creatures steeped in bad habits are indeed unsuitable for parenting. They believed Arthur would be just a bit stricter, ensuring the child grows up well instead of astray. But now, seeing this, maybe astray isn’t so bad.

Arthur is actually the least suitable to be a father.

Mordred was a good child; she had always been excellent and hardworking, always yearning for "father’s" recognition. But whenever she achieved something and excitedly sought her father’s approval or praise, she always ended up hearing: "You shouldn’t be proud of this; as my child, such accomplishments are expected. Your goals and perspectives should be broader."

For a perfectionist like Arthur to say something like that instead of criticism already proves Mordred’s excellence.

To make her give straightforward praise, you need to truly surpass her achievements.

But surpassing her is too difficult. Despite Arthur’s strength seemingly only ranking fourth among the Dragon Heads, which is weaker than Nidhogg, Guinevere, and Morgan, you must understand that she was once the weakest Dragon Head.

Dragon Heads are typically innately powerful. Let’s not talk about Nidhogg, Guinevere was born a witch noble, Morgan is even a spiritual realm creature. Even Lancelot’s beginning as a lowly slave was tough, but her race was still the Moon Rabbit Race’s Moonlit Lionheart Rabbit.

But Arthur began as a human.

When Nidhogg summoned the various Dragon Heads, all were extraordinary beings: Elves, fairies, giants, and others—a mere human Knight stuck out like a sore thumb.

But now, she’s climbed to fourth place through her abnormal self-discipline; her growth story is a true reverse fate legend.

She is still improving even now; in a few thousand years, everyone has no doubt she can become the strongest Dragon Head under Nidhogg.

Ultimately, Nidhogg is only the apparent Dragon King; in reality, the entire Round Table Knights united form the True Dragon King—all Dragon Heads hold King’s Qualifications.

And Mordred is merely a child. Even though she was born as a City Spirit, her Qualifications of a Sage are ordinary, far from the King’s Qualifications. Arthur’s demanding standards for a child are genuinely excessive.

But this couldn’t be blamed entirely on Arthur; after all, she truly treated Mordred as her own daughter. Over the years, her contributions and teachings were witnessed by everyone. In all honesty, no other Dragon Head could match her dedication, even self-studying an entire set of parenting teachings to better raise the child.

Perfectism is innately her nature, her foundation, and not something she can change even if she wants to.

Therefore, seeing the growing "father-child" conflicts and Mordred becoming more self-abased and radical due to long-term lack of recognition, the Round Table unanimously decided this couldn’t continue; the child needed a new father.

Regarding the selection for the new father.....

Hmm, no one could be more suitable than Dorothy, after all, Dragon Mountain City was originally this sister’s creation. Arthur and Morgan merely gave the child a body; they’re the physical parents, but Dorothy is the existential parent.

It’s time to take the child for recognition.

"Dorothy, take a good look at this child Mordred."

Lancelot pulled the melancholy and downcast golden-haired girl forward, then forcefully lifted her head and brushed away the hair eternally covering her face, revealing her better.

The baffled Dorothy dutifully studied the face of this Ultimate Weapon Girl.

"Hmm, she looks pretty good, what’s up?"

She asked, still confused.

Truth be told, Miss Mordred was indeed very beautiful, her beauty just slightly less than little sister Audrey’s. This was already nearing the natural beauty’s pinnacle.

But in Dorothy’s eyes, it was just okay. Though she often admired beautiful women, exuding a sleazy demeanor, she never truly strayed, after all, no one was prettier than her.

However, her lack of perception didn’t mean others lacked it.

Seeing Mordred’s appearance, all the sisters’ expressions changed—Sophia frowned deeply, Senior Mia’s eyes widened, Madeline and Audrey’s eyes narrowed, only Little Alice remained carefree.

And so, the straightforward little witch exclaimed.

"Whoa, sis, this sister looks a bit like you."

Dorothy: "....."

"Stop talking nonsense, where do I look...."

The homebody witch instinctively scolded her sister but managed to suppress the final "ugly" word.

She then seriously scrutinized this Ultimate Weapon Lady.

Goodness, now that she looked closely, the eyebrows were indeed three-fourths similar to hers, no wonder near the peak of beauty.

But this child really isn’t related to me; I swear, I haven’t cheated Arthur or Morgan, and I, a little witch just sixteen, can’t have a child several centuries old.

"Um..."

The homebody witch was about to shift the blame quickly, but Guinevere, fed up with Lancelot’s convoluted prattle, directly intervened.

"Mordred is actually the soul of Nibelungen, Dorothy, surely you’ve recognized Nibelungen’s origins, right? This child is indeed your and Arthur’s and Morgan’s shared creation."

Her Majesty the Queen laid it bare.

Dorothy: "...."

(ｷ｀ﾟДﾟ´)!!

At her words, everyone present was stunned, including Mordred herself.

Only Lancelot slapped her face.

Goodness, Guinevere, truly a useless teammate, this wasn’t the time for revelations.

....Homebody witch becomes the accidental father....
