It was only then that Great Herta saw the short blade Vita had pressed against her own neck.
Wasn't that Kingslayer?
Wait... holy shit!
If Great Herta remembered correctly, this artifact allowed its holder to borrow the power of a superior. If that superior refused, it would sacrifice intimacy to forcibly borrow it.
Combined with the effect Vita wanted—"increasing intimacy simply by gifting or feeding captured Pokémon"...
Great Herta's gaze shifted from Kingslayer to the enhanced Poké Ball, then from the Poké Ball to the Sea of Quantum cat not far away, half-transparent as it lay sprawled in midair.
If Great Herta remembered correctly, Vita seemed to have said that the empty World Bubble used to make that Poké Ball had drained all the remaining power from the current Sea of Quantum projection.
Yet what resided within this Sea of Quantum projection was the true will of the Sea of Quantum.
Good, good, good.
So this was how she wanted to play it?
A Poké Ball with "guaranteed successful capture" and "feeding increases intimacy," paired with Kingslayer, which could directly sacrifice intimacy to forcibly borrow a superior's power... It really wasn't hard to guess who Vita wanted to catch as a Pokémon.
Great Herta had said it before: people who wanted to be Vita's boss rarely ended well.
Great Herta even suspected that Vita liked being on top when she did the things she liked doing.
This wasn't about becoming the sea's daughter or granddaughter. She wanted to become the Sea of Quantum's daddy...
Vita: I'm Sorry, Lord Sea of Quantum, but I Betrayed You Again!
