Chat Group: Starting by Body Swapping with Elysia? - Chapter 136 Part 3

Although Hare was nominally indeed a World Serpent cadre, she had never carried out any missions within the organization, merely quietly waiting for her own death in the uninhabited place arranged by Gray Serpent — the beginning of the Stigmata Project.

“Circumstances always change quickly. For better implementation of the Stigmata Project and welcoming back our Lord, our agreement also needs some small accommodations.”

“Rest assured, it’s not asking you to do anything bad, just go to Jiuyou in the Shenzhou sea area and awaken a big guy that’s been sleeping for thousands of years.”

— Although Gray Serpent’s main objective was indeed the Gem of Desire in New Zealand, one always had to prepare backup plans. To avoid another situation like Nagazora City where the plan backfired, even though he didn’t think there would be any problems with this operation to obtain the Gem of Desire, after careful consideration, he set another target on the Emperor-class Honkai Beast Chiyou sealed in Jiuyou.

After dealing with this big guy, it could also restore quite a bit of Honkai Energy for their Lord.

“I’m quite helpless too, after all the organization doesn’t have enough personnel, so I can only rely on you to lend a hand.”

The hoarse voice carried some helplessness.

Although World Serpent was actually much stronger than Anti-Entropy, the available forces truly couldn’t be called abundant.

Although the Gray Serpent series had certain combat capabilities, that was about it.

The main fighter Raven was currently stationed in Nagazora City accompanying and watching over their Lord, moreover, after losing the Seven Thunders of Retribution, his adopted daughter’s strength had simply plummeted.

As for Night Owl… wake up, it’s still 2014, World Serpent doesn’t have such a person yet.

“Subjugating a Honkai Beast that might endanger people — for you as a Living Stigmata, this should be quite an acceptable assignment, right?”

Schariac bore the name of ‘salvation,’ and for a Living Schariac Stigmata, going to resolve and recover a lurking disaster that wouldn’t endanger others was indeed within Misteln’s acceptable range.

Gray Serpent, who had a good grasp of this Schariac’s psychology, successfully manipulated Misteln.

Unfortunately, although she did indeed break Chiyou’s seal, she had no means to kill this super-large Honkai Beast.

Misteln’s inherent characteristic of killing life and destroying inorganic matter was less than a tickle to the terrifyingly large Chiyou.

Although she personally possessed strength no less than an S-rank Valkyrie, without highly offensive Divine Keys like Judgment of Shamash or Abyss Flower, Misteln was completely helpless against Chiyou.

Additionally, sensing the approach of the Anti-Entropy battleship, she could only choose to hastily retreat and observe from a distance.

Originally, Misteln had planned to wait for Anti-Entropy or Schicksal people to come and deal with this big guy, then directly pick up the pieces afterward, since neither Schicksal nor Anti-Entropy had the technology to transport such a large creature — even after defeating it, they could only leave it in Jiuyou.

But…

Under the bombardment of over a hundred Selene main cannons, the enormous Chiyou was directly blasted until not even ash remained.

“Forget it, this was originally… according to Shenzhou’s saying, forcing a duck onto a perch. Since things have come to this, it has nothing to do with me.”

Misteln didn’t care about the failure of the recovery mission. After all, her main task was just to awaken and kill Chiyou — doing this in the name of Schariac was sufficient. As for the rest… she had absolutely no sense of belonging to her cadre codename ‘Hare’ in World Serpent.

“However—”

“Alexandra’s daughter has grown so much.”

Recalling the silver-haired girl who had defeated Chiyou, Misteln couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

The superhuman vision of a Living Stigmata allowed her to see 【Bronya】 from an extremely far distance.

Actually, this wasn’t the first time she had seen 【Bronya】.

Previously, she had mostly seen her through photos brought by Gray Serpent.

Although she very much wanted to see Alexandra’s daughter up close, unfortunately, the characteristics of this body made this simple wish ultimately impossible to fulfill.

But it didn’t matter. Before long, when the Stigmata Project was implemented, Misteln would be able to escape this curse of life — although by then, Misteln wouldn’t actually be Misteln anymore.

“She has really grown so much.”

Thinking of the power 【Bronya】 had displayed, beyond emotion, there was more amazement.

With Misteln’s essence as a Living Stigmata, she could naturally see that 【Bronya】 had not only become the Herrscher of Reason, but had even crossed the barrier and directly completed the transformation called ‘metamorphosis’ one step ahead of herself.

“I wonder what expression Alexandra would show if she saw Bronya now?”

Misteln smiled, but her mood was somewhat complex.

Although she was happy about such amazing growth from Alexandra’s daughter, that Herrscher of Reason power also made her feel somewhat… sigh, although her jealousy was more directed at the first Herrscher of Reason Joyce who was very similar to herself, under the principle of hating the house and its crow, it inevitably also affected the successor to the Herrscher of Reason.

An old friend’s daughter and an envied identity all came together, making the emotionally immature Misteln feel mixed emotions.

“I think she would definitely be smiling.”

A sudden voice responded to Misteln’s question, making her nod in deep agreement, but the next moment she instantly sensed something was wrong.

This ship should only have her alone, right?

— Because of the characteristics of Misteln’s Living Stigmata, she fundamentally couldn’t use machinery or have people stay beside her, so she could only pilot this specially manufactured World Serpent ship alone.

Moreover, this milky voice was somewhat familiar.

Misteln’s gaze slowly turned toward where the voice came from, and what entered her vision was the 【Herrscher of Reason】 dressed like a princess, that emotionless little face she had seen countless times in photos and that was incredibly similar to her old friend, currently facing her.

The silver-haired girl in Herrscher outfit sat on the palm of the rabbit-shaped metal machine, her slender legs wrapped in white stockings dangling and swaying with slight amplitude. She raised her delicate hand wrapped in silk gloves toward the stunned white-haired woman and smiled as she waved:

“Hi~ Miss Misteln, um… Bronya should call you… Auntie Misteln?”

“Although calling you auntie might be somewhat rude to a girl like you, I think you would find this form of address more endearing, right?”
