Chapter 790: Chapter 792: Modesty
Fake Pingru Kejie Wulais’s face revealed a smile.
She and the original couldn’t be said to be exactly alike, but rather completely identical.
Not only in appearance, but every detail on her body was the same. Pingru Kejie Wulais’s own strength and the skills she learned could also be replicated one to one.
The only things that couldn’t be replicated were memories and personality.
“Although it can’t be restored 100%, 70 to 80% is still achievable.”
In stark contrast to the previous madness, the transformed Mud Yellow Man spoke like a normal person.
Chaste Jasmine said, “Modesty, since the transformation is complete, let’s set off immediately!”
The one called Modesty, Fake Pingru Kejie Wulais, while touching every inch of her skin, savoring an unprecedented solidity, asked:
“Don’t rush.
It’s rare to be in this form, I need some time to adjust and adapt.
During this time, can you explain the situation to me?
You know, in that stance, I was completely unable to process external information correctly.
That is the price of this power.”
The minstrel began to play the harp and said with a smile, “Then it can’t be helped.
Let me recount the whole story.
Where should I start… let’s start from the falling out with our partner.”
Chaste Jasmine, with a stern face and a tone filled with disdain, said:
“Falling out with that guy was bound to happen sooner or later.
The Luo Ze Empire began to purge the believers we had placed among the military, not just to find military traitors but to target us.
We thought we were flawless, but our exposure happened so swiftly.
The Holy Maiden of the Goddess Sect is a scale that must not be touched.
If people from the Luo Ze Empire knew of her involvement with us, they would never cease their pursuit.
He probably didn’t want that either, so disassociating from us was the wise choice.
But…”
Chaste Jasmine paused for a moment before continuing:
“But that guy, he plans to prematurely end this war.
Zero Technique had communicated with him, and our requests were outright denied.
Even though he promised the war would continue for a while and not end too soon.
But, he’s no longer trustworthy.”
The minstrel raised his head to look at the sky and said, “Having cooperated for so long, aiding each other for so long, it’s lonely to suddenly end our cooperation.”
Fake Pingru Kejie Wulais said with a smile:
“I understand a little.
The preparations to summon the Demon Lord are slightly lacking.
The Pope still wants to prolong this war.”
Jasmine added, “Although it’s hard to admit, war is indeed a good thing for us.
The number of believers has also increased a lot. If those believers are willing to sacrifice their lives for summoning the Demon Lord without hesitation.
But we are all poor creatures abandoned by the goddess.
Once the demon has completely destroyed the world, we will establish a new order on the wasteland.
At that time, I hope to witness this world with them.”
Fake Pingru Kejie Wulais once again confirmed her body condition from head to toe, saying:
“I can understand how you feel.
For that day, I chose to be in that stance.
Someday, I also want to face this world in its true form.
So, how do you plan to rewrite this war and sustain it?”
“Just by eliminating one person. Just one person is enough. That person is one of his trump cards,” Chaste Jasmine declared decisively.
…
…
Elsewhere, Yang Yu sitting in Lotcar was very upset.
This task didn’t have “urgent” on it, yet just as he crossed the border, it showed task failure.
Is that reasonable? Certainly not!
Ruling out a System bug, the task showing failure meant that the target no longer existed; the person to be saved was gone.
What to do next?
Yang Yu now wished to lead his troops back the way they came, but doing so without an excuse seemed unjustifiable.
He couldn’t just say that under the goddess’s revelation, he foresaw a future where the Beastman Army was completely wiped out, and those Beastmen who wanted to attack civilians deserved to die.
That statement would certainly trigger a series of problems, possibly undermining the trust he had painstakingly established among the subhumans.
If he just bit the bullet, confirmed the death of the other party, and then returned…
Now not knowing what the Beastman Army had encountered, investigating it posed certain risks.
Patting the back of Lotcar, Yang Yu asked:
“Lotcar, can you smell the scent of the Beastman Army? From General Dongmu’s tone, there seem to be quite a few beastmen who have crossed the border.”
Lotcar slowed his pace and responded, “I just found out and was about to report.
Following the scent trail, we should soon be able to break through. The Luo Ze Empire is likely setting up defenses just like us along the border.
Be ready to fight at any moment.”
“Good. All units listen to my command, turn around immediately back to our territory. I have a bad premonition.”
Yang Yu had only taken half of his subordinates. They looked at each other, dubious, but still followed Yang Yu’s order to cut off the pursuit and turn back on the spot.
During the process of deducing potential incidents, his troops had traveled a considerable distance, slightly penetrating deeper.
Returning at this time, if they managed their excuses well, they might just convince Dongmu to accept the failure.
But before Yang Yu and his men could completely retreat, Bai Jin sensed that the Magic Power in the air was rapidly depleting.
Someone was using Super Large Magic.
“General, danger!”
In the war rules between the two countries, using highly lethal magic was forbidden, and even slightly large AOE skills were regulated.
The occasions that allowed the use of Super Large Magic were generally when provoking an unorganized troop or conflicts with outsiders.
Just like the time with the Blazing Fire Clan, who were neutral back then, not entering the Wansheng Country ranks, naturally not subject to giant dragon rules or control.
Facing aggressors, they had the right to employ all possible means for retaliation.
Regarding rules, civilians were a special case.
To ensure the safety of civilian lives, the giant dragon had a set of rules for control, summarized in one core point—unless civilians touched porcelain, they absolutely must not be harmed. If harmed, a corresponding price had to be paid.
One rule was clearly written, if an extraordinary force witnessed civilians being slaughtered, such forces were legitimate to interfere in the war.
The intervention period was one day, and the intervention range was a country.
