Chat Group: Starting by Body Swapping with Elysia? - Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Do You Really Want to Understand How to Use Your Own Body?

***

Why? Just why exactly?

Getting back her own body should have been something that made Elysia happy.

But at this moment, Miss Fatty couldn’t feel happy at all.

Even a certain terrible truth made her think, maybe we should switch back again?

That truth was — she really seemed to be useless.

Having lost her first kiss due to being overly excited, after switching bodies back Elysia was no longer fixated on the issue she initially cared about. After all, in her view, since her body had returned to her hands.

Then whatever that fake Jiang Qiao could accomplish using her body, she should be able to do no matter what, and even do it more easily, right?

After all, she was 【Elysia】, the original owner of this body, the real Elysia!

But now, this confident thought seemed to have been completely and utterly defeated~

Not only was she unable to perform even a tiny bit of what Jiang Qiao had done with her body after getting it back.

Elysia could even feel that her original Honkai Energy, and even her body itself, felt somewhat stiff.

It was as if she was actually the fake one who had switched into this body.

— This was actually just the displacement brought about by using Jiang Qiao’s body.

However, this thought couldn’t be said to be entirely wrong.

【Elysia】 body was indeed rejecting her, or more accurately, the part that belonged to the Herrscher of Origin’s authority was repelling Elysia.

It was like — although you are the original owner.

But you fundamentally don’t accept me!

Jiang Qiao, this latecomer, came over and immediately played around with the Origin authority, achieving 100% compatibility right off the bat.

The result was that the original owner wasn’t compatible, while the latecomer was super compatible.

Origin Authority: Since that’s the case, then you can’t blame me for turning my back on you!

If this place won’t keep me, there are other places that will!

The authorities that could follow Jiang Qiao all ran away, and the authority that originally belonged to Elysia also looked at Elysia with some displeasure.

This caused the result where even her flesh began to find fault and produce a stiff feeling.

In other words, during the period when Jiang Qiao used Elysia’s body, he had already shaped 【Elysia】 into his own form.

When Elysia returned, naturally everything felt uncomfortable.

Of course, this wasn’t a big problem. As long as she was willing to be the Herrscher of Origin, the brothers would still be willing to follow the big sister, and turning back into Elysia’s shape in the blink of an eye wouldn’t be a problem either.

After all, Elysia was the naturally designated Herrscher.

However, before that, don’t blame the brothers for not cooperating!

Miss Fatty currently didn’t understand this situation.

But if she really knew about it, she would probably cry directly.

— How did my body turn into someone else’s shape after I was gone for just a day or two?

Jiang Qiao wasn’t aware of the sin he had committed.

He was still examining the transparent crystal flower in his hand.

“It’s indeed the power of Origin, but it seems a bit strange.”

Murmuring softly in words that Elysia couldn’t understand, Jiang Qiao could clearly feel the difference in this power.

It seemed like there were two portions of Origin power in his hand.

Jiang Qiao originally thought this should be the difference between the Previous Era and Current Era’s Origin power.

But—

Actually, to be more accurate.

There was indeed one portion from the Previous Era, the Origin authority that had jumped ship from Elysia.

But the other portion was definitely not the Current Era’s Origin authority.

It was incredibly immature, located at a point in the crystal flower’s heart.

— This crystal flower directly contained two types of power, the crystal flower formed by Elysia’s authority, and… the Origin authority belonging to Jiang Qiao himself.

If he wasn’t mistaken.

This should be an accompanying effect of his 【Body Swap】 ability.

Jiang Qiao, who had grasped the essence, immediately had a hypothesis.

— He seemed to be able to obtain a portion of the special abilities of the body swap target through body swapping.

It wasn’t the same as his approach of re-dividing authority with the 2nd Herrscher.

The 【Body Swap】 ability was more sophisticated.

By swapping into another person’s body, then making that person’s body’s special ability “pregnant,” giving birth to a small offspring with the same ability.

When switching back bodies, the small offspring would also return together with Jiang Qiao.

Once that offspring was raised, he would obtain a similar ability with higher freedom.

“So this is my cheat.”

Jiang Qiao, who had vaguely understood this point, showed a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

His real cheat was this 【Body Swap】.

The chat group was just an accident.

However—

“This cheat is really terrible!”

Jiang Qiao, who had figured it out, laughed directly from anger.

It sounds like a very powerful ability, right?

But if, like the situation with Elysia, a kiss was required to switch bodies back.

That would mean—

If he didn’t have this chat group to help, just based on his and Elysia’s situation of being separated by 50,000 years.

To switch back bodies, he would probably have to survive day by day using Elysia’s body for 50,000 years before successfully meeting up with Elysia.

Wow, being a pink fatty for 50,000 years, how wonderful~

— Thinking of this solution, Jiang Qiao laughed out loud directly.

Damn, this cheat is simply a huge pit!

If it fell into the hands of a player who didn’t know Honkai Impact 3rd, or had skipped all the plot, then the best result would be like Elysia, ending up with a GG.

He did have a way to solve it — for example, using Elysia’s body to directly break through the entire previous civilization.

But even so, he would have to wait more than 54,000 years to meet Elysia, who was in this era and had swapped bodies with him!

Wow, as expected of you, cat!

Jiang Qiao silently withdrew his previous slander about the chat group.

Sorry, I misunderstood you, chat group.

The real waste was actually another one on me!

While Jiang Qiao was frantically criticizing his useless cheat in his heart, Miss Fatty beside him, who was somewhat depressed, was a bit confused. After hesitating for a moment, she quietly tried to ask shamelessly:

“What cheat? Origin-related? Jiang Qiao… can you tell me how exactly you used my body?”

No way, absolutely no way!

How could Miss Elf be a waste who couldn’t even use her own body and got completely outclassed by someone else!

Elysia, who absolutely couldn’t accept this possibility, could only pin her hopes on Jiang Qiao, who could use abilities that she completely couldn’t use, to teach her.

Cheat, Origin — could these be the methods for using 【Elysia】 body?

Miss Fatty speculated as such.

And Jiang Qiao, who was consulted about this question, looked at her with increasingly strange eyes after being asked this question, slowly revealing a malicious smile:

“Do you really want to understand how to use your own body?”
