"What's wrong?"
—Cannot be retrieved.
Whether due to imperfections or the consequences of the experiment, the Gem of Desire cannot be removed.
Or rather, it can be taken out, but once it's taken out—Wendy will send it.
The core issue is directly related to Wendy's life.
This is even more absolute than the relationship between Kiana and the core of the Herrscher of the Void.
To remove it without endangering her life, one would either need to possess the authority of the Law of Life and Death, or have Wendy undergo a complete Great Collapse baptism to perfect her. Otherwise, this thing can only remain inside.
But it doesn't matter—
He has other means to borrow this Herrscher core!
"Bronya, I'm going to borrow another person's body next."
After speaking with Bronya via communication device, Jiang, pressed for time, got straight to the point.
Although he could borrow it directly, he still made sure to inform the owner of the body beforehand.
"boy?"
"Girls."
"...good."
Upon hearing this, Duck's initial resistance vanished almost entirely.
Although the Russian girl doesn't care much about this aspect, kissing a strange man is too casual, and she finds it hard to accept.
But if we compromise and change it to a girl, especially a cute girl, I think it's not a bad option either.
...Yes, I believe Seele will understand!
—Without knowing what kind of inner struggle the duck had gone through, the silver-haired girl ended the call with the body's owner.
Then next——
"Uh...what's wrong?"
"Next, I'm going to borrow your body."
"Okay...eh?!"
Wendy nodded subconsciously, but looked completely bewildered after realizing what she meant.
What does "borrowing a body" mean?
The core is fine; that kind of thing can be removed. But how do you borrow the body?
Before she could even voice her question, Miss Greensee's eyes widened in surprise.
A gentle touch brushed past, followed by a dizzying sensation in my consciousness.
When she came to her senses again, she found herself in an unfamiliar scene, which appeared to be a warship.
There was also a strange feeling. Wendy subconsciously glanced down—the scenery, so characteristic of China, made her eyes widen instantly, especially below...
"Ah!!! (Screams like a groundhog)"
Deep within the Sea of Quanta, on the snowy ground, Wendy, with her black exterior and blue interior, and the same dyed bob as Green Seele, couldn't help but sneeze.
"Achoo!"
"Is it cold?"
A somewhat cold, yet caring voice echoed in her heart; it was another 'Seele'.
Although with Seele's special constitution, she shouldn't get sick from environmental factors of this magnitude, Black Seele was still quite concerned... no, not concerned, it was just because she also had a part in this body and didn't want this coward to mistreat his body!
"Fortunately."
Seele shook her head, then looked at the endless snowfield, quite troubled:
"But how much longer do we have to walk?"
If all she wanted was a good life, she could have chosen a wonderful world and lived there with the people.
But the truth is—she never stopped searching for a way to escape the Sea of Quanta.
"It's almost here. I can vaguely sense the weakest point in this bubble of the world."
By climbing through world bubbles and searching for a way out, Black Seele, as Seele's father, has put in a lot of effort in this regard.
"Ah."
Seele nodded, a look of determination and longing in her eyes:
"Wait for me, Bronya, Seele will be out soon!"
...I wonder what Bronya is doing these days?
As the girl pondered these thoughts, New Zealand, a continental power—
"...Is this the girl?"
The silver-haired girl, who had been standing very close, blushed and took a few steps back. From her indifferent expression, it was clear that the original owner had returned to her original position.
She could still savor the soft touch in her mind, even though it was only for a brief moment—but the duck that had been reset was fortunate enough to experience it.
Bronya, feeling a little dizzy, sized up the girl in front of her, and the following thought involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
...She looks like Seele!
Her face flushed even more, mixed with a hint of jealousy. Duck had thought Jiang Qiao was just swapping with a pretty girl, but it turned out to be a girl who looked a lot like Xi'er... Damn it, let me have this good thing!
However, in terms of sensory perception... it seems she did experience it, the girl she kissed was like Seele, but the inner self was someone like Jiang...
—On how the “body swap” between two girls allowed three people to experience it, and even strictly speaking, Jiang experienced it twice... Ah, this.
At this moment, Duck's brain was spinning wildly, as if a server was not responding.
Jiang Qiao was unaware of the complex psychological journey of Ya Ya at this moment. At this instant, he—[Wendy]—slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of his signature spiritedness and confidence appeared in his emerald green eyes.
The girl grasped the slender body, which was completely different from the previous three bodies of Alicia, Kiana, and Bronya, and slowly savored and mastered this different and brand-new mecha, a bewitching smile curving her lips.
"Her name is Wendy. She should be inside my body now. I'll leave her in your care from now on, Bronya."
"Ah."
Although her feelings were very complicated, Bronya nodded heavily when she thought that the girl named Wendy was the girl in front of her who looked so much like Seele.
Putting everything else aside, just because she looks like Seele, I, Duck, have to take good care of her!
Jiang Qiao was quite relieved about this.
He didn't take the cores of the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Void. At this point, Duck is equivalent to a Herrscher with two cores. The potential hidden dangers of Miss Pufferfish have also been suppressed by the backup plan she left behind.
With such a trump card, Bronya should be able to do whatever she wants in the current era, and she shouldn't have any problems.
As for himself.
Feeling the power of the gemstone flowing through her body, Wendy revealed a confident smile.
For him, even one Herrscher core would be enough!
......
Looking at the extreme weather outside with its fierce winds, Alicia couldn't help but sigh.
Getting your body back should be a happy thing, but why did things end up like this?
"What happened?"
A girl's voice rang in her ears, and the fat lady looked up to see Wendy, the green-haired Seele who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Wow!"
The fat woman's eyes widened, and a bow and arrow appeared in her hand.
Noticing Alicia's wariness, Wendy said rather irritably:
"...it's me."
"Huh?" After a moment of surprise, Alicia's expression instantly turned furious. "You mean Jiang Qiao, you actually scared me with that child's image! You actually scared me!"
The overweight woman, so angry that she repeated herself twice, tears welling in her eyes, "I really will get angry!"
"Wait...you switched places with her?"
Remembering Jiang Qiao's abilities, Alice frowned as she looked at Wendy in front of her.
"Yes, but not really."
"?"
It would take some time for a mere fat woman to understand the difference. In response, Jiang Qiao said, "I'll tell you the specifics later. First, tell me what exactly is going on."
As she spoke, the girl frowned as she looked at the apocalyptic scene outside the air-raid shelter.
It is the authority of the Wind Herald, but the scale of this is... enormous!
Let me explain it to you.
The rational voice drew Wendy's attention, who was somewhat surprised:
