Arknights, But Raising Terra Chapter 38

They—

"Huh? Why are there two Isabellas?"

They finally realized something was wrong.

Before them was a large Isabella, and then they turned their heads to look in the direction of Skadi from this worldline...

"Why is there another Isabella over there?"

The Great Swarm of Sea Creatures froze for a moment. They... well, Sea Creatures don't have brains.

So, the Sea Creatures all flooded into the chat group of the Hive Cluster Mind to ask for clarification.

As a result, they discovered there were two chat groups.

The Sea Creatures were even more confused.

Who was real? Who was fake?

So, one of the Sea Creatures took the initiative to go to Skadi of this worldline and asked, "Isabella, Isabella, which one of you is real?"

Then, Skadi of this worldline, as if playing golf, swung the greatsword in her hand and sent the Sea Creature before her flying.

But that Sea Creature was persistent. After being sent flying an unknown distance, it ran back and asked again, "Isabella, Isabella, why are there two of you?"

As a result, that Sea Creature was once again sent flying by Skadi of this worldline.

And when that Sea Creature ran over for the third time—

"I'm not Isabella!" Skadi of this worldline clutched her head, looking somewhat pained. "Go away!"

After experiencing the astonishing scene of tens of thousands of Sea Creatures appearing everywhere, Skadi of this worldline, Her reaction was actually the same as Ulpian and Gor_etia's. Skadi treated them as formidable enemies, almost prepared to fight to the death.

But with the song of Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, Skadi of this worldline felt as if there was another consciousness in her head, constantly urging her to go to Heart of the Corrupted Skadi.

And the other consciousness in Skadi's head was Isabella of this worldline.

If Skadi's consciousness lost to Isabella, allowing Isabella to gain control of her body, then Heart of the Corrupted Skadi of this worldline would be born.

But fortunately, after that Sea Creature was sent flying three times and received the answer "I'm not Isabella!" from Skadi of this worldline, it directly shared this information in the group mind.

So, all the Sea Creatures turned their attention to Heart of the Corrupted Skadi.

Since Skadi of this worldline said she wasn't Isabella, what about Heart of the Corrupted Skadi? Was she real?

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi gently opened her eyes and looked at the Great Swarm of Sea Creatures surrounding her. She slightly parted her lips, "Let's go, I'll take you to get some food."

"Hooray!"

"This one is real! This one is real!"

"Food! Food!"

The entire Great Swarm of Sea Creatures erupted in cheers.

057. Heart of the Corrupted Skadi: Lord God, why won't you let me wear a skirt?

The ones cheering were not only the Sea Creatures who had received their meal cards—

There was also the Abyssal Church.

The Abyssal Church, this thing...

To summarize in one sentence, they betrayed humanity, defected to the Sea Creatures' side, and were the culprits... well, one of the culprits... for the birth of Heart of the Corrupted Skadi and the world-ending catastrophe of the Sea Creatures.

Oh, and by the way, the founder of the Abyssal Church was from Sargol, and most of the church members were also from Sargol.

So, the Abyssal Church was also cheering at this moment. Isabella's return and the summoning of the Great Swarm, their long-cherished wish had been fulfilled!

Take me with you! Take me with you!

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's response to this was:

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi: "Who are you?"

What? You want to get food too?

It's not impossible to give you meal cards, but are you Sea Creatures? Come, please show me your student ID.

What? You don't have one?

Then go play by yourselves.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi @ed all members, and then sent an infinitely usable meal card to everyone who replied with '1'.

Then Heart of the Corrupted Skadi looked around again, wanting to see if all the Sea Creatures were present. If they were, she would prepare to lead the Sea Creatures to the cafeteria for a meal.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi first turned her head and looked towards the deep sea behind her.

Because there was the only underwater nation on this planet—Sargol.

But Sargol was currently playing dead.

There was no other way. Sargol had once mobilized the entire nation to hunt Sea Creatures madly, then disemboweled them, and conducted a series of experiments that could be called human experimentation.

Then, using the results of these human experiments, Sargol created the Abyssal Hunters by implanting Sea Creature genes into humans, making them of the same origin as the enemy.

In the eyes of the Sargol people, they had developed super soldiers!

Mass production! This must be mass-produced!

But in the eyes of the Sea Creatures, the Sea Hunter's body, implanted with Sea Creature genes, was constantly wailing, screaming, in pain, and begging for help.

So the Sea Creatures mistakenly believed that their kin were trapped inside that human skin, And so the Sea Creatures tore apart the flesh and skin of the Sea Hunters, wanting to rescue their kin.

But Sargol saw that the Sea Creatures' methods were incredibly cruel, not only killing people but also skinning them alive!

This calls for a heavy-handed response!

And so Sargol and the Sea Creatures began to fight.

In the end, the Sargol people, with the strength of their entire nation, and at the cost of almost annihilating the Sea Hunters, charged directly at the Sea Creatures' stronghold, successfully reducing the boss, Isabella, to a sliver of health.

Then the Sargol people discovered that there were a total of 4 bosses like Isabella.

Furthermore, Isabella, after being reduced to low health, didn't die; she entered her second phase!

As a result, the Sargol people now looked at the colossal Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, as massive as a towering mountain range, saw her new identity as a Divine Messenger backed by a Deity, and saw her start with a call to the Great Swarm—

What?

I'm fighting the Divine Messenger, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi? Is this real?

Can we win?

It's a guaranteed death.

Meanwhile, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi tilted her little head left and right.

Seeing that the Sargol people hadn't moved for a long time, she lost interest and looked up again, towards the land.

Ulpian, Gor_etia, Laurentina, Angela...

Hmm? Who are those few on that ship?

Oh right, and there's the other her.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi had no ill intentions; she simply wanted to find those people and ask them if they wanted to go to the mess hall to eat with her.

But Heart of the Corrupted Skadi seemed to have forgotten her current size.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi merely moved, and it was like a giant green octopus coming ashore; just passing by could raze large swathes of the city, making it seem like a repeat of the Sea Creatures' world-ending event.

Oh, no, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi was followed by tens of thousands of Sea Creatures from the Great Swarm; this wasn't just a similarity, this was a repeat of the Sea Creatures' world-ending event.

Fortunately, in the coastal city of Iberia, someone shouted, "Don't come over here!!!"

Only then did Heart of the Corrupted Skadi seem to realize something.

She blinked her innocent big eyes, and then, as if to avoid accidentally stepping on small flowers, small grass, or small ants, she deliberately skirted around the city area and headed towards the wilderness to come ashore.

Hundreds of meters of giant waves were stirred up along with Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's movement.

Large areas of land began to tear apart under Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's approach, and all the birds and beasts fled for their lives.

Amidst this scene that seemed like the apocalypse was approaching, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi had just drifted from the sea to the shore and was about to land when—

Swish.

The sky was torn apart by a giant palm, and the Deity appeared before the eyes of the world.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi also seemed to sense it, stopped, turned her head, and looked: "Lord God?"

As Heart of the Corrupted Skadi asked in confusion, she saw the Deity's hand reach down and grab her by the back of her collar.

"Ah—"

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's "Ah" was drawn out into a long sound, Because her Lord God, after grabbing her by the back of her collar, directly pulled her back into the starry sky.

One could even faintly hear the Deity's rather helpless scolding:

"Red T? Do you remember you're wearing a skirt?"

"It's one thing for you to be floating on the sea, but what are you trying to do by coming ashore?"

"Come here, I'll change your clothes for you."

... ... ...

... ...

"I'm talking to you, Red T, can you hear me?"

Chen Ran poked the little head of this Heart of the Corrupted Skadi with his fingertips, one poke after another.

But Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, sitting like a duck on the desk, merely blinked her innocent and pure little eyes.

It was clear that Heart of the Corrupted Skadi didn't understand at all why she couldn't come ashore while wearing a skirt.

But if Lord God said so, there must be a reason, right?

So, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi let Chen Ran poke her little head. After all, he was poking it back and forth, making it sway like she was on a rocking toy, which was quite fun.

"Forget it, why am I even telling you this?"

Chen Ran seemed to realize he was essentially talking to a... a killer whale.

With a soft sigh, Chen Ran withdrew his fingertip and turned directly to the side.

From the small treasure chest Heart of the Corrupted Skadi cherished, he found hot pants, black stockings, and other clothes that would prevent any wardrobe malfunctions while still looking good.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi truly didn't understand the difference between skirts and hot pants, but she was a whiz at using her phone.

So, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi sneakily pulled out her phone and opened the search bar:

"Why doesn't Lord God let me wear skirts?"

"What is superstition?"

"Another name for Deity?"

"Why doesn't Master let me wear skirts, but instead makes me wear hot pants?"

"What does it mean for thighs to be fleshy?"

"What are the roots of the thighs?"

"Will a short skirt make Master happy?"

"Oh..."

Looking at the search results, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's eyes widened with a look of sudden understanding.

"What are you suddenly understanding?"

Chen Ran had returned at some point and snatched the phone from Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's hand. "It's confiscated."
