"Senior sister, what did you just say about the Moonlit Lionheart Rabbit? Is there such a race?"

After casting her vote subconsciously, Dorothy then asked Hat Senior Sister with some curiosity.

She considered herself somewhat knowledgeable about otherworldly races, but she had never heard of this strange race.

"You don't know? Well, I forgot you didn't grow up in the Dragon Kingdom. The chief combatant of the Servant Army under your family's Ancestral Elder, the Dragon King, is a Moonlit Lionheart Rabbit, and it's also a Peak Martial God."

Senior Fanny was also taken aback, but remembering the background of her Master, she responded with sudden realization and asked.

"Ah, this…"

Dorothy was also shocked. In recent days, her Martial Soul Incarnation had been constantly bullied by her own mother, and sharing senses and memories with the Incarnation, she believed she understood the value of a Martial God very well—it was truly terrifying, the very embodiment of Martial Arts and a synonym for violence.

But it was one thing for Witches to be Martial Gods—did otherworldly races have Martial Gods too?

And not among the Three Great Calamity Races, but an unheard-of race?

But that didn't make sense either. How could such a powerful race be so unknown?

"That's because the number of Moonlit Lionheart Rabbits is very small. You've heard of Moon Rabbits, right? A Moonlit Lionheart Rabbit is a variant individual of the Moon Rabbit."

Seemingly seeing through Dorothy's confusion, Senior Fanny explained again.

Upon hearing about Moon Rabbits, Dorothy nodded; she knew about them.

The Moon Rabbit Clan was not part of the Orc Race's Rabbit People; they really had no connection with the Rabbit People other than their similar appearances.

According to the Witches' classification of exotic strata, the Orc Race belonged to the Bronze Species, but the Moon Rabbit Race belonged to the Silver Species. They were a powerful exotic civilization on the same level as Elves, Dwarves, Mermaids, and others, ranking just below the Golden Calamity Race in the first tier.

Moreover, despite each Moon Rabbit having cute long rabbit ears, giving them an appearance similar to a harmless idol, it was all a façade. In fact, they were a warrior race just like the Witches, fully militarized.

Well, they were a sort of low-end, poor man's version of Witches.

The reason Moon Rabbits were named so was because they were the Moon's favored children. They couldn't use pure Creation Magic like the Witches; their strength originated from a derivative of Creation Magic—Moon Magic Power.

This kind of Magic Power was common in moon-like celestial worlds, which is why Moon Rabbits liked to settle on the moon.

As a part of the Silver Species, their strength was undeniable. The Moon Rabbits were extremely proficient in Magic Guided Technology, especially in genetic engineering, which was very advanced. The reason they were described as a poor man's version of witches was because, like the Witches, they were on a path of self-evolution.

Witches were born with the Talent for evolution, whereas Moon Rabbits were not; however, they could achieve self-evolution through technological modifications.

After generations of genetic optimization, the current average physical condition of a Moon Rabbit was about a hundred times that of a human, and the entire population just needed a bit of training to be battle-ready.

Their educational system also used a method of knowledge infusion, similar to computer data transfer—ding! and you'd go from illiterate to a polymath.

Although this type of knowledge infusion was useless for the mysterious Magic, it was still very convenient for infusing combat experience and Magic Guided Technology.

In Dorothy's view, the Moon Rabbit Race was a race taking a technological, mechanical ascension route, evolving increasingly away from biological forms and more towards a mechanical type.

In fact, the societal structure of the Moon Rabbits also reflected this, with a clear division of labor within the tribe, similar to an ant colony or beehive. At the top was the Queen of the Moon, the leader of the Moon Rabbits, and the second tier consisted of the Priestess of the Moon and the Knight of the Moon.

The Priestess was responsible for the development of Magic Guided Technology. They were the smartest individuals among the Moon Rabbits, not subject to knowledge infusion, but instead studied magic independently and spearheaded the creation of new Magic Guided Technology.

Knights were responsible for waging wars abroad and collecting resources; they were the most robust individuals among the Moon Rabbits, specialized in combat.

Beneath the priests and knights were the ordinary People of the Moon, responsible for production and logistics tasks.

Of course, this was just the simplest division, the specific subdivisions were very complex. Anyway, it all seemed very robotic; the entire Moon Rabbit Society was cold and ruthless, much like a society of robots.

The witches, however, clearly thought the Moon Rabbits had strayed from the right path. After all, the power of magic stemmed from the believing heart, the power of will, and the Moon Rabbits' suppressive and rigid social structure also imprisoned their hearts. Their methods raised the lower limit of the group but also capped their maximum potential.

Even so, the Moon Rabbits were still a very powerful race, especially with their fearless combat style, which even the witches found somewhat troublesome—who could withstand an enemy that would just rush in and self-destruct when defeated?

Other than the top Witch Battle Groups, the average and small-sized witch battle groups were generally unwilling to provoke these crazy rabbits, as fighting might be possible, but the cost was disproportionate to the benefits and thus not worthwhile.

And the Moon Rabbits were already so powerful, imagine if there were to be an upgraded, optimized individual...

Well, Dorothy got it; she finally understood why Hat Senior Sister insisted she must capture this Moonlit Lionheart Rabbit.

The enhanced version of the Moon Rabbit had combat power that basically matched the witches', and the Moon Rabbits' machine-like thought processes also ensured their loyalty—they were the type who, once they recognized a master, would genuinely dedicate their lives at a word from them.

This indeed was the perfect Servant Army, no wonder they were known as the legendary Top Combatant Race. Who wouldn't love these rabbits with high appeal, strong combat power, and absolute loyalty?

In fact, among the witch battle groups, the Moon Rabbits were already the most popular Servant Army, quite useful; however, the social structure of the Moon Rabbits also ensured their cohesion, and it was rare for Moon Rabbits to leave their tribe to venture out.

"Mm, this one is indeed a must-capture,"

thought the homebody witch.

Even though Dorothy wasn't so concerned about this Moonlit Lionheart Rabbit's combat capabilities, what she truly coveted was the Moon Rabbits' Magic Guided Technology.

Just as she began pondering whether her wallet could afford this enticing rabbit, Hat Senior Sister spoke up again.

"Dorothy, do you know how a Moonlit Lionheart Rabbit is created?"

Dorothy naturally did not know, as it was her first time hearing about a variant of a Moon Rabbit.

"Only when a Moon World is heading toward destruction, and a Moon Rabbit absorbs all the Moon Power of the entire world in one go, is there a very low chance of the birth of a Moonlit Lionheart Rabbit, which will then become the new Queen of the Moon, tasked with the mission of revitalizing her clan. So, Dorothy, do you understand?"

said senior Fanny softly.

What am I supposed to understand?

She was full of question marks, just about to ask, but after pondering carefully, her eyes suddenly widened, and she involuntarily took a sharp breath.

Right, Moon Rabbits live in the Moon World and rarely leave except to fight, but a Moonlit Lionheart Rabbit can only be born upon the death of a moon, destined to be the new Queen of the Moon, so...

Turtle, turtle, that means an entire wandering tribe of Moon Rabbits is nearby.

Ah, this.....
