Chat Group: Starting by Body Swapping with Elysia? - Chapter 139 Part 2

“So you had this kind of thought, Bronya.”

Looking at 【Jiang Qiao】 on the screen whose gaze was evasive, the girl sighed.

— This child was also gambling.

Deliberately having him use 【Bronya】’s body to do this.

Betting that the emotions remaining in her body would make him feel compassion for Cocolia.

Although the process was somewhat different, the result was that Bronya had won her bet.

If it had been Jiang Qiao, or even using a different body to do this, Cocolia would have died without question.

Even if she had lost the bet, it would have been fine.

Ending the adoptive mother’s mad and tragic life with the 【adopted daughter】’s identity.

This was also something Bronya could accept.

She entrusted that adoptive mother’s fate to the possibility of the emotions remaining in her body.

At this moment, as the Honkai energy detection radar that had quieted down with 【Bronya】 restraining her Herrscher power began to sound alarms again:

“Warning! Warning! High Honkai energy reaction detected!”

— Not from inside the battleship, this time the direction was toward the Valkyrie sanatorium in New Zealand.

…

The radical faction led by Cocolia was exceptionally ruthless when dealing with Schicksal Valkyries, just like a certain banana man.

Under the bombardment of the arrayed Titan mechs, the New Zealand branch suffered heavy losses.

Although the Valkyries were also fighting back desperately, New Zealand was originally a sparse Honkai zone with few stationed Valkyries of low rank, and even their weapons were Schicksal’s most outdated generation.

They were fine against scattered Honkai Beasts, but against Titans… Valkyrie fragments were being mass-produced.

But all of this changed in the next instant!

“Swoosh!”

Terrifying wind blades swept across the entire battlefield, cutting those rampaging Titan mechs and the Archangel mechs spewing projectiles into pieces.

“Hahaha”

An extremely joyful smile bloomed on the face of the black-green-haired girl with a bob cut in the battlefield — green Seele.

Wendy, who could originally only sit in a wheelchair watching Cocolia’s Titan forces rampage, now felt her entire body filled with power.

At this moment, she felt incredibly exhilarated and unrestrained.

— As the youngest A-rank Valkyrie of the Oceania branch, Wendy was originally expected to become the fourth S-rank Valkyrie.

But due to the Gem of Desire experiment, she could only retire in obscurity. Naturally, she found such an ending difficult to accept.

Especially since Wendy’s interpersonal relationships at the Oceania branch weren’t actually very good, so after experiencing the transformation from absolute genius to trash, Wendy’s life at the sanatorium became quite unpleasant, with many on-duty Valkyries gossiping about and mocking her.

In such an environment, negative emotions gradually accumulated in Wendy’s heart, making the originally introverted green Seele’s heart gradually darker.

Resentment, hatred, and jealousy…

Finally, during Anti-Entropy’s attack, these burst forth, allowing her to use the Gem of Desire within her body to transform into the Herrscher of Wind.

Terrifying storms spread outward from Wendy as the center, and Titans, building debris, and even the surviving Valkyries all experienced the pleasure of flying under the sweep of this force.

Until—

“Shing”

A crescent-shaped ice-blue blade cut through the air, forcing Wendy, who was laughing like a tornado, to stop.

With the assistance of a mechanical humanoid, those Valkyries caught in the storm were rescued one by one.

“Lady Rita!”

The surviving Valkyries showed expressions of surprised joy upon seeing the graceful figure holding a scythe.

Although the New Zealand branch was considered a remote backwater, they naturally couldn’t fail to recognize Rita Rossweisse, one of the organization’s two official S-rank Valkyries.

As an S-rank Valkyrie, Rita’s prestige among lower-level Valkyries was no less than Durandal.

“Take the wounded and leave here.”

Setting down an unconscious Valkyrie, Rita gave the order quite seriously.

— Soon, she, who was covering the retreat of the surviving Valkyries, was targeted by the happy woman in the sky.

“Rita Rossweisse, headquarters’ S-rank Valkyrie, haha, how wonderful that you came, how wonderful!”

Landing, Wendy was no longer in her usual clothes but in the post-Herrscherization bandaged barefoot outfit. She stared at Sister Rita quite excitedly, as if looking at some rare prey.

— As the discarded case of the sin of envy among the Seven Sins Stigmata, the introverted green Seele’s inner jealousy was incredibly strong. When she was still an A-rank Valkyrie it wasn’t much, but after losing her future, she would secretly envy those healthy Valkyries.

After becoming a Herrscher, this originally shallow emotion was amplified, with the result being that even without so-called Herrscher consciousness, Wendy personally had already leaned toward the camp hostile to humanity.

Toward S-rank Valkyries, what was once admiration and reverence had now become that jealousy transformed into the pleasure of wanting to trample these former idols underfoot.

What did S-rank Valkyries amount to?

She was a Herrscher!

The S-rank Valkyries she once dreamed of becoming were now meaningless to her!

Wanting to prove something through Rita, Wendy laughed wildly and casually sent out several wind blades sharp enough to cut through steel.

“…This is troublesome.”

Looking at the powerful wind blades coming toward her, Rita felt somewhat helpless.

She had arrived in New Zealand ahead of schedule with Jiang Qiao — Jiang Qiao was responsible for dealing with Cocolia, while she, as Schicksal’s S-rank Valkyrie, was to settle and support the New Zealand branch.

As a result, she ran into a Herrscher right away. What kind of situation was this?

Having interacted with the Herrscher of the Void and Herrscher of Reason, two reasonable Herrschers, Sister Rita felt bitter inside. With those two as precedents, she almost had the illusion that all Herrschers were actually allies… Ah, they were all Jiang Qiao? Then never mind.

But Sister Rita was still somewhat panicked, after all, those two Herrschers that Jiang Qiao had used were frighteningly strong, making Sister Rita facing the Herrscher of Wind also somewhat timid.

However, as Schicksal’s S-rank Valkyrie, how could she retreat?

Thinking of her identity, Sister Rita gained some confidence. She raised her scythe and dodged Wendy’s wind blades with extremely inhuman movements, and even had the Argent Knight’s summoned Pale Moon combat system block what couldn’t be dodged.

— This was thanks to Jiang Qiao. Originally, her Argent Knight was an incomplete product, but as the Herrscher of Reason, 【Bronya】 had directly and unreasonably transformed her Argent Knight from incomplete to complete.

The originally unusable Pale Moon system could now be used as well.

“Seems like it’s not that strong after all.”

After tentatively taking a wind blade hit, Sister Rita couldn’t help but think this way.

Compared to the Herrscher of the Void and the unreasonable Herrscher of Reason, she felt the Herrscher of Wind before her was quite ordinary.

Although the AOE was quite extensive, unfortunately it couldn’t hit anyone at all. As for the wind blades… the force was quite strong, but with the 4th-generation Godsbane-class Battlesuit enhancement, Rita felt it wasn’t too much of a threat.

She could fight this!
