The Valkyries' Theory of Celebrity Worship
Su looked up and fell silent.
"...Su?"
"... Bishop Otto, I have two pieces of bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"
"Do you think there's a difference between these two?" Otto's lips twitched. "You can say whichever one you want first."
"Okay." Su took a deep breath. "The first piece of bad news is that this person is not my alternate body."
"Yeah, it doesn't look like it." Kevin nodded in agreement.
Su glared at Kevin and continued, "The second piece of bad news is that she is another version of myself that I observed on the Chariot of a Thousand Worlds, an evil female version of myself, and she is very strong. At least I definitely can't handle her. As for Kevin, I don't know."
"...Huh? You're a girl?" Kevin looked at the screen with a strange expression, then glanced at Su. "No, you two don't look alike at all."
"...? Kevin, do you need to get glasses?" Sue turned to stand sideways, parallel to Vita's photo. "Look at us, besides our body shape due to our gender, what else do we look alike?"
"Emmm... eyes?"
Kevin fell into a brief silence, then suddenly clapped his hands.
"But it really doesn't seem like it! Look at her! This woman doesn't look like a good person at all!"
"..."
"..."
The atmosphere on the field suddenly fell silent.
"... You even started using dialects." Su sighed, "So, in your opinion, we're very different?"
"It doesn't seem like it... The first time I saw her, I had a feeling that 'this woman is definitely not a good person'."
Kevin rested his chin on his hand.
"You have to trust my gut feeling."
"Is this how this guy always recognizes people?" Otto looked at Sue and pointed at Kevin.
"That's how it is when you don't have a cheat code for brains, but, well, you heard it too, Kevin's intuition is really accurate."
If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, Su Zhen would have pretended not to know Kevin.
There was no other way, so Su could only keep a straight face and try to make the matter sound serious.
"But speaking of which, why is she here?"
Although Su had considered the idea of having a female version of herself as her teacher's wife, this way of appearing was too shocking.
"Someone causing trouble?" Kevin asked with a strange look. "Surrounding her? Like the Herrscher of Corruption who just arrived?"
"Stop joking, this guy isn't a nobody." Su also fell into thought. "Let me put it this way, if my perception of combat power back then is correct, this guy would be a bomb even in today's Schicksal. He can influence the world with his mind... Herrscher of Domination going up against him would be like sending him to his death."
"Then let the teacher handle it?" Kevin reacted quickly because his mind was blank.
"Although it is a solution, well, let's put it this way, all decisions ultimately boil down to appeasement or confrontation, and then we also have to see whether the other party is a friend or foe."
Su rested her chin on her hand.
"Besides, she's not exactly Herrscher, you know? At least from our perspective, we don't have any inherent reason to be hostile to her. As for the villain thing... Kevin, guess, were you good or bad in my eyes 1,500 years ago?"
"... Can we not talk about this?" Kevin's lips twitched, and his brain finally started working again.
There's really no point in discussing this topic.
"So you mean that if the teacher is involved in this matter, the final decision will most likely be an open and honest negotiation?"
Kevin stood with his hands on his hips and turned his head for a while.
"Hmm... But looking at it this way, I think the other party is probably on the benevolent side. After all, this method of infiltrating Schicksal is too crude, and the other party isn't a local. If they're willing to investigate, unless they can rewrite reality on a large scale, otherwise..."
If the opponent can truly rewrite reality on a large scale without taking damage, then let's stop playing around and just bring out Elysia and Liu Bai for a magical duel.
"That makes sense." Otto nodded upon hearing Kevin's analysis. This man was indeed reliable if he was willing to use his brain. "I will also report your analysis to the Lord God."
"I hope for a peaceful resolution." Su nodded in agreement. "Or perhaps we could maintain a temporary peace and then hand her over to the teacher?"
"... What do you take the Lord God /teachers for?"
Otto and Kevin simultaneously criticized Su's statement.
Su glanced at Otto; this guy was a freak, and she couldn't be bothered to talk to him.
So Sue waved to Kevin, signaling Kevin to come closer.
Kevin hesitated for a moment, but still followed his good friend's instructions and came closer.
Sue put her hands on Kevin's shoulders. "Come on, Kevin, throw your brains away for now."
"... I'll beat you up."
"No, Kevin, you think I'm your good brother, right?"
"Ah, yes."
Do you find me more pleasing to the eye than Mei?
"Uh... is that right?"
"Then look at her again," Su Yi pointed to the photo behind her, "Isn't she also better than Mei...?"
"No, this woman is really not..."
Snap!
Sue slapped Kevin.
"And now? Does she seem more pleasing to the eye than Mei?"
"Forehead..."
Snap!
"Whether you like it or not, it's just a matter of words."
"Big... maybe it looks better?"
Kevin, who had been slapped symmetrically, was now completely bewildered.
"Then isn't she more suitable for the position of teacher's wife than Mei?" Su continued to press.
"Maybe...?" Kevin was still confused. "Wait, why did you assume she would treat the teacher..."
Snap!
"Now you don't need to use your brain so much—and you have to trust the teacher's charm."
"Too..."
"Then think about it, do we have a good relationship with any of our teachers' wives?"
"Eden's Mistress?"
Back then, in order to get an autograph, the two of them would often bring gifts to visit their teacher's wife during holidays.
"Uh, really..." Su paused for a moment, then slapped Kevin again, "I told you not to use your brain!"
Hey! You bastard!
"Think about it again. Have we contributed to Eden's wife's love life? Or does Eden's wife need our help?"
"It seems... we don't need it?"
"So, Kevin, you need to understand the difference between offering help in times of need and adding to someone's already good fortune!"
"Hmm..."
"Think about it, if Eden becomes our teacher's wife, it has nothing to do with us. If she doesn't become our teacher's wife, at most she won't cause trouble for us. So, we need to support a teacher's wife who seems reliable and needs our help!"
"Okay, it seems like that?"
"Look, isn't the female version of me the best choice now?"
"... It seems that's really true?"
Amber and Otto, standing nearby, twitched at the corners of their mouths.
"This is just a scam..." Amber muttered to herself.
Ultimately, do these two even need the protection of a master's wife?
To avoid being criticized by Dr. Mei is already a success!
"The Border Collie is fooling the Husky, why are you so concerned?" Otto rolled his eyes at Amber and said in a low voice, "These two are clearly letting loose now, what are you complaining about?"
However, it was clear that Otto looked very unhappy—after all, these two people were discussing this issue right in front of him.
Ah... I suddenly understand Mei's feeling of wanting to fill those two with cement and sink them into the river. What should I do?
"Cough cough!" Otto couldn't help but cough twice.
You two bastards, if you want to discuss this, go outside!
Sue glanced at Otto, pondered for a moment, and then ran away without saying a word, grabbing Kevin and running off.
Amber looked thoughtful as she watched this scene. "I think now they have a reason to seek refuge with a new master's wife."
Otto: "..."
"What a beautiful world." Vita, dressed in a plain white casual outfit, sat on a park bench, leisurely licking her ice cream.
So, has she now completely turned against Sa's "Vita," or has she regained her human identity and the name "Vita"?
I can't figure it out.
This question is too philosophical.
Is this the immense power of higher-dimensional existence?
Vita looked up at the sky with a sigh.
So, on the other hand... does the "the closer to the paper, the hotter it gets" setting actually work?
No matter how many times, Vita's eyes would twitch as she looked at the illusory ribbon connecting the sky to the sky in the distance.
It appears to connect to the sky, but in reality, it probably connects to the "unknown realm."
This is a far more tangible power than the mysterious abilities of that enlightened the Awakened One.
Even if one possesses exceptional mental abilities, is fully prepared, and can drag the entire Earth into an illusion with all one's might, if one were to actually try to explore that unknown territory, one would be utterly annihilated.
That is a true existence, capable of rewriting reality with just a sliver of its will.
Let alone the fact that [So] is less than one-tenth the size of the genuine Cocoon of Finality, even if the real Cocoon of Finality to arrive...
It's such a maddening feeling of powerlessness.
Vita finally understood why the Awakened One was being so cautious.
This thing is right here, and anyone with high enough mental strength can see it.
Alright, come on, who dares to touch it?
"So... the starting point of the spiritual ribbon in mid-air should be the location of that Your Majesty? That is, the 'Schicksal' to which I currently belong? Hmm... I have a feeling that my crude identity will be discovered..."
Chapter 574 The Valkyrie's Star-Chasing Theories
"The identity of a reserve Valkyrie is so crude that I can almost predict what kind of trouble it will cause."
Vita licked her ice cream while complaining.
"Even beings of higher dimensions can be unreliable... or perhaps they dare not go too far?"
My head hurts. I really hope it's from eating ice cream.
It's really irresponsible to dump all the trouble on yourself, an "ant".
"Vita- chan, you're here!"
Just as Vita was idly pondering future plans while licking her ice cream, a tall, green-haired woman ran over from the side.
"Headquarters has issued a transfer order for you, commanding you to proceed to headquarters immediately."
"Huh? So rushed, Vice-Captain Sophia?" Vita asked, showing a girlish surprise.
