Arknights, but Raising Terra Chapter 47

"Just a maid by the Saintess's side?"

"No, that shouldn't be it... Maybe Yelagund just casually took on a form...?"

"Right! After all, Yal was so diligent..."

"Why aren't you talking?"

"Wait... I just remembered, what's that Yal's... full name? Who are her parents? How long has she been a maid?"

"I don't know..."

"You?"

"I don't know either..."

"Divine power! This is definitely Yelagund's divine power! Making us not notice!"

"We're doomed! Did I offend Yal before?"

The Siracusans guessed correctly.

Because Yal and Yelagund really did have the ability to hypnotize and mentally suggest.

Otherwise, how could a mere maid have existed for hundreds of years, with even every Saintess's maid being the same person? It would be unnatural not to notice something was wrong.

And—

After Yelagund took on a human form, she instantly appeared at the summit of the Siracusan snow mountain, right in front of Chuxue and Yal.

However, Yelagund ignored the version of herself from this timeline and headed straight for Chuxue.

Before Chuxue could even react, still looking bewildered, Yelagund reached out and touched Chuxue's face.

She pinched and pulled at Chuxue's cheeks until they were red. Only then did Yal, standing beside them, finally react. She rushed forward and shoved Yelagund away.

"What are you doing?!"

Yal shielded Chuxue behind her like a mother hen protecting her chick. "What do you want to do to my child?"

Chuxue, who had just snapped back to reality: "?"

Child? When did my generation get so much younger?

But seeing the two identical people in front of her... Chuxue decided to keep quiet and not say a word.

"Not Sea Creatures... Thank goodness, she's not a Sea Creature in disguise..."

Yelagund wasn't angry after being pushed away. She just kept muttering these words, then looked at Yal with a numb expression. "My children... all gone... I couldn't save a single one..."

Yal: "..."

Yal had felt some hostility towards Yelagund earlier, thinking that the version of herself from another timeline had come to steal her child.

But after hearing Yelagund's words, all of Yal's emotions vanished instantly.

Yal then asked with a serious expression, "What happened?"

If the Yelagund in front of her was truly herself from another timeline, then knowing herself, she wouldn't let her children get hurt even if it meant her own death.

Therefore, it wasn't that Yelagund hadn't tried her best or had stood by and let the tragedy happen. It was that Yelagund couldn't prevent it even with all her effort.

If that were the case, then this wouldn't just be Yelagund's problem; it was something that could very well happen to Yal as well.

Upon hearing this, Yelagund said, "Let's go kill the people of Agor."

Yal: "?"

Wait a minute!

You should explain from the beginning! Why are we suddenly talking about annihilating a nation?
