A chat group where you switch bodies with Alicia at the start?

Jiang Qiao looked at the purple figure not far away, and couldn't help but feel emotional as she gazed at that familiar face.

The architecture of the surrounding villages reminded him of Celine's background—a village girl who lived with her mother.

According to Zi's previous statement, before deploying the warriors, the higher-ups of Zhu Huo tried using high-powered weapons to kill the Second Herrscher in the same way they killed the First Herrscher, but the results were not good.

Is she consciously protecting this village?

Looking around at the buildings that, apart from being affected by the massive collapse, had no further damage, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but make this guess.

at the same time

Fifty thousand years later, in Changkong City, Alicia and her companions, having made all the necessary preparations, stuffed Bronya, who was bound hand and foot, into an abandoned warehouse in the Raiden Mansion, and then arrived near the ME Corporation building, ready to go.

—At this moment, Cocolia, who was in the base, was completely unaware.

Chapter Twenty-One: You Scumbag!

Above the Mediterranean Sea, the headquarters of Destiny.

“Lord Otto, the base body K423 seems to have some abnormalities.”

A white-haired girl dressed in a black secretary's uniform, her face concealed by crystal goggles, approached Otto to give a report.

"Oh?"

The blond man—Otto Apocalypse, the Archbishop of Destiny who had reigned for five hundred years—put down the controller in his hand upon hearing this, while a game—Kallen Fantasy—was displayed on the screen in front of him.

Where is she now?

"I recently transferred to Chiyu Academy in Changkong City."

Amber calmly reported the contents:

"Up until yesterday, the subject's behavior was relatively normal, but after encountering a young man, K423's behavior became abnormal."

"Oh?"

Otto suddenly became interested.

He picked up the black tea on the table, took a sip, and casually asked:

Do you have the other party's file?

The power of destiny is spread all over the world. As long as one is willing to investigate and the other party does not have a special background, it is only a matter of time before they can find out their ancestors for three generations.

And Amber, his capable assistant and secretary, would certainly know how to do it immediately.

"I'm sorry, Lord Otto, we don't have any information on the other party at the moment, but they seem to be an ordinary person."

"Ordinary people... Hmph, they're probably just the rats hiding in the shadows starting to stir."

Otto snorted lightly, his tone laced with disdain.

This man has always been arrogant, regarding anti-entropy as nothing more than ants and rats, but in reality, anti-entropy is indeed incomparable to destiny.

"K423's target is suspected to be the ME Corporation building, which seems to be an Anti-Entropy property. Not long ago, Anti-Entropy executor Raiden Ryoma was imprisoned, and another radical Anti-Entropy executor, Cocolia, took over. She seems to be plotting something."

Amber continued her report. Perhaps Cocolia thought they could hide it from Destiny, but in reality, Anti-Entropy couldn't hide anything from Destiny. As long as they were determined to investigate, there was nothing they couldn't find out.

"Ok?"

Otto raised an eyebrow; he knew perfectly well what that entropy-reversing little mouse was up to.

However, since what the other party was going to do wouldn't harm his own plans, Otto didn't bother to care.

But there's something clearly wrong with K423's movements.

Did you find it?

It shouldn't be possible.

Otto was somewhat puzzled.

Although he looked down on those rats from Anti-Entropy, even if they were trash, they shouldn't have been able to give K423, who was weak and had no intelligence sources, any clues.

If they were that incompetent, they wouldn't even deserve to be called rats; they wouldn't have been able to survive until today under the targeting of fate.

and so--

"Is it the man K423 contacted?"

With Otto's intelligence, he naturally and instantly realized where this anomaly came from.

The trajectory was normal a day ago, but after encountering it, it started to drift erratically. If you say you don't have ghosts, who would believe you?

Otto, who instinctively sensed something was amiss, frowned; he didn't like this feeling.

But often when this feeling arises, something unexpected happens, that is, a variable.

Unexpected changes can cause problems with your plans.

Otto would not allow such a thing to happen.

Just like Joyce, the original Herald of Variables, he killed the man because he couldn't control him.

And then there's Siegfried, who also displayed a power he couldn't control, and was thoroughly outmaneuvered by him.

Where is Rita now?

Otto asked.

"Lady Rita is currently on standby at headquarters."

"Tell her to come here."

"Yes."

Having received Amber's message through communication, Rita Losweiser, the maid, soon arrived before Otto.

She bowed gracefully, displaying the demeanor of a refined lady.

"What are your orders, Your Excellency?"

"You shall proceed to Changkong City in the Far East as quickly as possible. Your mission objective is to observe Kiana Kaslana's trajectory and intervene as appropriate."

"Yes."

As Otto's black glove, and an S-class Valkyrie specializing in human combat, Rita is adept at this kind of thing.

After Rita left, Otto rubbed his temples.

Even with the fastest means, it would take at least a day to get from the Mediterranean to Changkong City.

In fact, this is already very fast, and it's a way of treating Rita like she's not human.

But he had a vague feeling that this was still too slow.

Although there was no information about the unknown man, the fact that he was able to target the rat so quickly meant he was definitely the type to act swiftly and decisively.

To deal with this type of person, if you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step.

A one-day time difference could mean missing out on even the smallest food item.

That being said, he had no intention of calling Rita back, but instead sighed:

"It seems I need my old friend to step in."

...

Nighttime is often when people are more likely to let their guard down.

Therefore, Alicia and her group chose to attack under the cover of night.

That being said, they are currently staying in the vicinity of the ME Corporation building and are not in a hurry to attack.

Thanks to Jiang Qiao, they were certain that Cocolia's headquarters were located beneath the ME Corporation building.

But how to get in was a major problem facing Alicia and her friends.

It's not as simple as just rushing into the building; Cocolia's location should be an underground base.

The ME building is divided into a surface and an interior, and they must find the passage to the underground base.

If you can't get to Cocolia as quickly as possible, she'll have some time to prepare. Even if the female fox is still in a panic, she'll be very difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Alicia had no choice but to look at Mei:

"Mei, do you know what's going on inside the ME Corporation building?"

"I'm sorry, I rarely come to my father's company, so I can't offer any help in this regard."

Mei's face revealed a mix of helplessness, guilt, and... well, it was all on full display.

Good heavens, I can't do anything.

I'm just a piece of trash.

At this moment, the cook transformed into Pochi Sauce, leaving Alicia somewhat bewildered.

I just have a question: why did you become withdrawn?
