Amiya cautiously took a step back.
Seeing that no one present made a move, Amiya hurriedly directed the Rhodes Island personnel to evacuate.
Back to Rhodes Island! Back home!
Terra was about to descend into chaos!
Kal'tsit: What the hell are you doing, me from another Worldline?
Chen Ran was indeed amused.
"It felt like two cats had fought so hard at home that fur was flying everywhere, but the moment their owner came back, one of them started acting cute, rolling around and rubbing against their pant leg, then whining in a squeaky voice about how wronged she was."
So Chen Ran had brought this Kal'tsit from the Normal Line here for no particular reason.
He just wanted to show this Kal'tsit from the Normal Line Savior Cat's embarrassing history,
then show Savior Cat how this Kal'tsit from the Normal Line had stabbed her in the back.
But naturally, the first one Chen Ran had brought back was still Demon King Rabbit.
"Lord God! I'm back!"
Unlike how she had been cold and ruthless before the people of Terra, like some murderous deity,
when Demon King Rabbit was held in Chen Ran's palm and taken away from that planetary model, returning to the Lord God's playground and seeing Chen Ran—
Demon King Rabbit immediately smiled like a little angel. She floated up from Chen Ran's palm, sat on his shoulder, and rubbed her little head against his cheek.
"You're back?" Chen Ran rubbed Demon King Rabbit's little head with his fingertips and smiled. "So, did you have fun, Little Rabbit?"
"I think this Worldline should be killed."
Demon King Rabbit's decisive tone
made Kal'tsit, who had just been grabbed and brought here by Chen Ran and was still deeply shaken by the vast starry sky and the truth of this godlike playground, stagger on her feet.
Kal'tsit: "..."
How had Amiya become like this...?
But Kal'tsit did not dare speak.
Especially after she turned her head and saw Demon King Rabbit's intimacy with that god, along with the god's doting attitude toward Demon King Rabbit...
Kal'tsit dared not open her mouth carelessly.
After all, what if this god truly spoiled Demon King Rabbit? If Demon King Rabbit said it should be killed, and the god simply nodded and said, "Fine, whatever you want," then what?
Fortunately, that god did not immediately reach a conclusion. After poking Demon King Rabbit's little head with his fingertip, he smiled and said, "I told you, Little Rabbit, don't skip straight to becoming the Great Extinction Rabbit. Fine, I prepared that little cake for you. Go eat it."
"Thank you, Lord God!"
The moment Demon King Rabbit heard that, she floated up from Chen Ran's shoulder and dove toward a distant table.
It could not be helped. The sight of Heart of the Corrupted Skadi devouring ninety-nine percent of it all by herself last time was still fresh in everyone's mind.
Yet Demon King Rabbit's utterly unhesitating departure, without even sparing Kal'tsit a glance, still made Kal'tsit's heart ache slightly.
Kal'tsit was not heartbroken for herself. She was heartbroken over just what Amiya had suffered through.
"Alright, now it's your turn, little cat."
After Demon King Rabbit left, Chen Ran lowered his head and looked at Kal'tsit standing in his palm.
Oh, this scene felt rather familiar.
Hadn't that Savior Cat stood like this last time too? She had even contributed some embarrassing history.
"Lord God..."
Although Kal'tsit did not know what Chen Ran was thinking, since this god had already turned his gaze toward her, she naturally had to speak and show respect.
I'm not some god—just as Chen Ran was about to patiently repeat that sentence once again,
a red ornamental fish floated over from nearby. After sitting on Chen Ran's shoulder, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi swung her little feet and said, "Lord God says He isn't Lord God?"
Chen Ran: "?"
Kal'tsit: "?"
"Red T, do you hear what you're saying?"
Chen Ran poked Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's little head with his fingertip. "Forget it. Since you said it, I don't need to repeat it again. Though I feel like saying it every time has never done much good anyway."
Chen Ran had a question mark because someone had stolen his line.
Kal'tsit had a question mark because she instantly saw that Heart of the Corrupted Skadi was not human—no, rather, she had instantly confirmed her suspicion.
There was indeed more than one Divine Messenger.
It seemed she had made the right bet.
But this Divine Messenger called "Red T" by the god looked more and more familiar the longer Kal'tsit looked at her...
Wait? Sea Creatures?
Kal'tsit was shaken to the core and hurriedly lowered her head, lest she fail to control her expression.
How could she be Sea Creatures...?
Why would such a Worldline exist?
Though the myriad worlds contained all manner of strange things... those were Sea Creatures. Such obedient beings... could such a possibility actually exist?
"So, tell me. Why did you, little cat, wish to see me?"
Chen Ran spoke, drawing Kal'tsit back to her senses. "If you want to say something like, 'Spare humanity,' or 'What price must we pay to gain a sliver of hope,' then there's no need. The other cat has already said it once."
"The other cat..."
Upon hearing that, Kal'tsit became certain that the other cat this god spoke of had to be the other Kal'tsit who had become a Divine Messenger.
With that thought, Kal'tsit restrained the urge to turn and search her surroundings, instead asking directly, "Then... Lord God, is the other me... no, is that Divine Messenger Kal'tsit also here?"
Ah! That was exactly what he had been waiting for.
Hearing that, Chen Ran said, "The other Kal'tsit? She is here, but whether she's a Divine Messenger is still open to question."
As he spoke, Chen Ran turned to glance at Heart of the Corrupted Skadi.
Heart of the Corrupted Skadi simply turned her clear eyes toward him and blinked her little eyes, seemingly having no idea what Chen Ran meant.
Alright, so that kind of eye contact was a lie.
Thus, Chen Ran opened the Hive Cluster Mind, Sea Creatures version, and sent Heart of the Corrupted Skadi a private message.
The moment Heart of the Corrupted Skadi saw it, she understood. Hugging her phone, she lit up the screen, entered the photo album, pulled up Savior Cat's embarrassing history, and held it out before Kal'tsit for her to see.
Kal'tsit was naturally utterly confused, but she did not dare ask. She could only silently watch the phone screen before her,
until the words, "I will offer you my loyalty," came from the phone, followed by the rustling sound of clothes and fabric falling away—
Kal'tsit felt her vision go dark.
What?
What the hell are you doing, me from another Worldline?
Kal'tsit was not blind. She could naturally recognize that the person in the video was her—no, it should be said, the her from another Worldline.
And the video had abruptly stopped at the exact instant the clothes had all fallen away.
That sort of blank space was the easiest for people to fill in with their imagination.
So...
Kal'tsit had originally thought that her counterpart in another Worldline was a Divine Messenger, but she was not?
Had she actually gone from a household maid robot to a household functional robot?
Kal'tsit could not help raising a hand to her forehead.
Savior Cat Found a Wild Yelagund
Although Chen Ran had no idea what Kal'tsit, this Hakimi, was thinking right now, he was having quite a good time.
"It rather feels like holding your pet Little Rabbit and making her watch a spicy rabbit-head food show."
Oh, no, that analogy seemed a little inappropriate. Chen Ran muttered to himself.
"Huh?" Demon King Rabbit's voice came from afar. "Lord God, were you calling me?"
"I wasn't." Chen Ran replied, "Eat your little cake."
"Oh..." Demon King Rabbit's voice disappeared.
Turning back, Chen Ran looked at Kal'tsit's expression of What the hell did I just watch...? and started laughing again.
"It's just a shame I didn't record Kal'tsit's vision-going-dark expression. Otherwise—"
Otherwise, once he found Savior Cat, he could let her enjoy it too.
Whoosh.
The very next second, a pillar of light shot out from within the planetary model of Terra, the Sea Creatures Worldline.
Chen Ran: "?"
Of course Chen Ran knew what that pillar of light meant.
It meant that Savior Cat was calling for him because she had something to discuss.
"But isn't your timing a little too perfect?" Chen Ran muttered. "I haven't even finished thinking it yet."
Besides, Chen Ran was familiar with this trope.
Wasn't it just like those monster-fighting, level-up novels?
A sect that had lived in peace for countless years would suddenly have one incident after another the moment the protagonist joined it, never stopping for a second.
And every other day, the whole sect would get wiped out, making the protagonist seem like some natural-born harbinger of disaster.
So Chen Ran did not immediately go inspect the pillar of light. Instead, he stared into the space before him, wanting to see what explanation that translucent pop-up box would give.
And it did not make Chen Ran wait long. After flickering several times, the translucent pop-up box displayed:
"Ah... I'm so embarrassed that you're watching me like that..."
Chen Ran: "?"
What the hell, bro?
Don't be so gross, okay?
Wait... did a translucent pop-up box even have a gender?
But feeling as though his eyes were about to be sullied, Chen Ran's vision went dark. He waved a hand and scattered the translucent pop-up box.
Naturally, that action caught Kal'tsit's attention.
Kal'tsit was already reeling from the fact that her counterpart in another Worldline had been tamed into a petlike state, desperately needing something else to distract herself.
So Kal'tsit naturally asked, "Lord God? What was that...?"
"Oh, the other cat is privately messaging me. I'll see what she wants to say."
Chen Ran did not hide it. Carrying Kal'tsit in his palm, he walked over before the planetary model of Terra, the Sea Creatures Worldline. "Oh, right. The other cat doesn't know about you yet. Don't remind her, okay? Give that cat a little surprise."
Kal'tsit: "..."
Kal'tsit felt there would probably be only shock, with no surprise at all.
But Kal'tsit said nothing further. How could she presume to speak too much about a god's actions?
She could only hope... that the other me from that Worldline would at least pull herself together... Don't really be like some tamed little cat...
As Kal'tsit thought this, Chen Ran had already stopped before the planetary model.
Reaching out, he watched as the planetary model enlarged and zoomed in. Soon, Chen Ran and Kal'tsit both saw Savior Cat standing on the ground, Holy Sword in hand.
"Why has this cat changed locations?"
Chen Ran recognized at a glance that Savior Kal'tsit was no longer in the survivor camp.
