In Zongman, he transformed into Fu Hua at the beginning

"That means you're not considered 'Black Amber' in the system's judgment."

The failure at the beginning of the second stage was not unexpected by Black Amber, but it still dealt a certain blow to her.

"Perhaps we can ask the main control consciousness for authorization."

The puppet proposed a feasible plan, but then both shook their heads: "Awakening the main control consciousness once requires 3000 recognition points. At this stage, our card strength and demand are not yet so luxurious."

Their current number one crisis is Hoshimiya Rokuko, but this crisis does not pose any threat to Amber now. It is more like a goal for the next stage than a crisis. If they focus on Takamiya Mio, there is no need for them to spend 3000 points to get a bunch of helpers who will not play any role in the battle.

From any perspective, this is unnecessary.

The result of several days' hard work was stillborn. Even Black Amber sighed a little, but it didn't matter. It was just something he did on a whim. After getting the power of Tokisaki Kurumi, or Takamiya Mio, he could try again.

Now let’s switch to Xier and prepare to go to the party prepared by Qinli.

Chapter 74: The Gokawa sisters are going to join the destiny?

Kotori Itsuka never thought that one day she would have such a friendly relationship with Destiny, or the Valkyrie in Destiny. After all, before she actually came into contact with Destiny, her view of Destiny was no different from that of DEM, or even worse.

After all, although DEM is superior to Ratatoskr and also carries out activities with the purpose of killing elves, the former is not a reason to dislike the other party, and the latter is basically politically correct, and even must be done from the perspective of human beings.

Although Kotori, as an elf, does not like the practice of killing elves, she is not naive enough to deny the rationality of this practice.

Tenmei is the same as DEM in these two points, but what makes Kotori have a bad impression of Tenmei is Tenmei's long-standing style of doing things and decision-making.

As everyone knows, Destiny's style of action is extremely powerful. When only Destiny could fight against the elves, it used this as a bargaining chip to expand crazily, and exercised a high degree of control and autonomy over the areas within its reach, almost becoming another government independent of the government. Its subsequent actions also fully demonstrated Destiny's ambition to bring the entire world under its "protection".

If DEM and the manifestation device had not appeared out of nowhere, Mebius might have really succeeded.

No one likes an ambitious person, especially one who intends to divide your interests, and of course Kotori is the same.

But now... perhaps because she had come into contact with Yulandel more often, Qinli actually felt that destiny was not as evil as she had imagined.

The St. Freya Hotel has ample and spacious entertainment venues. For a gathering of only about ten people, it is easy for this hotel to arrange it. Whether it is the 'Presidential Room' on the top floor designed specifically for dignitaries, or the swimming pool, outdoor swimming pool, private cinema, banquet venue, St. Freya can provide it.

At this time, everyone was in a swimming pool, not the outdoor swimming pool on the rooftop. Although Kotori thought it would be nice to go there, Shiori persuaded her not to cause too much trouble to others.

Although Kotori really wanted to explain to Shiori that the swimming pool would be cleaned every day to ensure the quality of service, she swallowed the thought after thinking about it.

Fortunately, the swimming pool here is not badly designed, at least it has artificial beaches, slides and other things, but it is far inferior to the one on the top floor and the water park.

But the one on the top floor is easy, the water park and so on... Even Kotori wouldn't dare to wander around with a group of unsealed spirits if she had a choice.

Recovering her thoughts, Kotori finally smiled as she looked at Shiori, who was a stranger at first, but then gradually became familiar with the elves after being pulled into the group of elves by Yamai Yakuya, and now had successfully won the friendship of the elves with her "reliable sister" temperament.

This Pokémon den wasn't in vain, and... that's right! Although it's a consensus that other Pokémon can't be as easy to capture as Tohka, it's too much of a stretch to choose someone as difficult as Nanashi as a second target.

Now that's the way it should be! Although those elves can't be captured easily, they won't show such strong malice right away. Instead, they should interact with each other first and slowly let their friendships grow.

This normal process finally made Qin Li feel at ease.

"Aren't you going to play with us?"

Just as she was thinking, a tall figure with a plump heart that could be seen even with the peripheral vision appeared beside her.

"..."

Kotori took a breath, then turned to look at the blonde girl who was almost a head taller than her, and then showed an awkward expression.

"...What's wrong with you?"

Amber, who had just finished chatting with Kurumi and Rita and came to check on Kotori, was a little confused.

"No...nothing..."

Qin Li opened her mouth to complain, but couldn't help but swallow it back. What else could she say? I haven't seen you for a few days. You've grown so much?

Although she knew that what happened to Yulandel before was not normal, but now seeing that she had developed more than two years ago, Kotori felt it was magical and abstract. Is this really the development you can expect at 17 years old?

The body affects a person's personality and preferences. This is because of the biological instinct brought by hormones. However, at present, Yulandel's personality does not seem to have changed, which makes Qinli feel fortunate.

But... taking another look at the fair and plump beauty hidden by the swimsuit, Kotori couldn't help but lower her head.

It was like bean sprouts meeting potatoes; they weren't even qualified to be compared. This clear and huge disparity made Qin Li's eyes twitch. We were clearly on the same side before...

"I've been waiting for you here. But you, are you all right over there? I didn't expect to interrupt your training today."

Pushing the thoughts from her mind, Kotori greeted.

"In fact, the Immortal Blade generally doesn't have any days off except after completing a mission. Of course, regular days off do exist, but everyone just wants to stay in top physical condition so they can be ready to go at any time."

Amber said.

"That's only part of the reason. The more important thing is that even Lady Youlandel is training every day, so we can't slack off."

Rita's smiling voice came from behind the two of them.

Seeing that she was alone, Amber asked in confusion: "Where are Xi'er and the others?"

"Lady Seele and Miss Kurumi are preparing toys for everyone to play with."

Rita continued in her leisurely tone, "Origami volunteered to stay in the training room. After all, she's now strong enough to become an instructor. While her teaching abilities may be limited, she's still a good sparring partner."

Amber felt that there must be a lot of water in this voluntary decision, but considering Origami's increasingly heavy look when he saw her turn into a big goose, she still acquiesced to Rita's arrangement.

"I saw she was looking forward to it, but she finally gave up... Her dedication and hard work to improve her strength are worthy of someone who can become the captain of the second team of the Indestructible Blade at this age."

Amber nodded.

Kotori blinked. She actually remembered the name of Tobiichi Origami. She heard that she was a rising star of the Eternal Blade, and her talent and strength were among the best among her peers. However, the two of them had never met each other before. They only met once, and it was not a very pleasant encounter. Although there was no problem in getting along with each other, it was a fact that she was the culprit of her tragedy, so she didn't think of inviting her.

She knew Origami was coming when Yulandel mentioned it.

It didn't matter. Anyway, Kotori's purpose was just to let Shiori come into contact with the elves, and to express her gratitude to Yulandel for her help many times. One more or one less person wouldn't make much of a difference. What's more, the other party had said it on her own initiative, and obviously had no intention of taking her out on him.

"Come to think of it, Kotori said before that she would wait for me. Did you have anything to say?"

Amber looked at Kotori.

"really……"

Kotori glanced at Rita who was standing next to the two of them. She originally wanted to talk to Yulandel, but as Yulandel's inseparable adjutant, it didn't seem to matter if Rita just sat in on the conversation.

"Shiori and I are going to join Tenmei."

Chapter 75 The filter is broken.

When these words came out, Amber and Rita were stunned.

"What happened to Ratatosk?"

Amber asked with a frown. She didn't show any happiness or joy at all, which made Kotori feel a lot happier.

From the perspective of anyone except Black Amber, it is a very beneficial thing for the Gokawa sisters to join Scheme. After all, Scheme rarely declares the relationship between two organizations as "cooperation". In the past, when facing most countries and organizations, the relationship Scheme gave was "assistance", "protection" and so on.

As we all know, if an organization can carry out a project alone, then doing so is the most profitable option.

The spirit power sealing plan is the core of the only possible plan to truly solve the threat of space earthquakes. The feasibility of this plan is greatly affected by Shiori Gokawa's affiliation. Kotori Gokawa has a great influence on Shiori Gokawa's stay or departure and his background.

It can be said that the one who really made the choice between the two was Kotori Itsuka. No matter how much Shiori thought, she would believe that her sister who was with her day and night would not harm her, and believed that her sister could find the best way out for both of them.

Therefore, when there is no problem with Kotori, Kotori is the real core that determines the direction of this plan.

When Kotori said she wanted to join Skyquake, it naturally meant that Shiori had also made the same choice. Ratatoskr would lose the opportunity to cooperate with Skyquake, and Skyquake would become the only person to explain the method of "truly solving the spacequake."

As long as the feasibility of this method reaches a standard that is recognized by others in the early stage, then Mebius's voice in this world will rise to a higher level again.

There must be various obstacles and calculations involved, and things will definitely not be as simple as Kotori thought, but Kotori knows that the joining of the two of them will be of great benefit to Tianming.

In this favorable situation, Yulandel was not happy at first, but was worried about the situation on her side, which made Qinli feel better.

"Ratatoskr... there's been a lot of doubt about me lately."

Thinking about what had happened recently, Kotori's mood worsened. "The Pokémon Raid Project was supposed to be under the sole responsibility of Fraxinus, but recently Ratatoskr sent a consultant to help us apply for assistance more quickly."

It sounds like it provides Fraxinus with a more convenient application channel and resource allocation, but in fact it is a chronic suppression of her rights while monitoring Fraxinus.

Although her application was cumbersome before, she could apply anytime she wanted and it would generally be approved. But now it is different. She needs to apply through a "consultant". If she goes directly to someone, she will be told that "no report has been received from the consultant."

Of course, Kotori could get angry about this, but instead of anger, she felt more disappointed and anxious.

The fact that he was going to leave Tianming was no secret to the higher-ups, and the withdrawal of the negotiation rights with Tianming was a response to this.

Of course, Kotori knew that it was normal to have a bad face towards betrayers, so although she was helpless, she didn't mind too much about having her negotiation rights taken away. But this time was different. The reason why Kotori joined Ratatoskr was because of Ratatoskr's behavior pattern of "getting along well with elves."

How do you convince the elves that Ratatoskr won't harm them after being sealed? It's simple: make the elves their direct supervisors. That's exactly why Gokawa Kotori and Ratatoskr hit it off. You want to reassure the elves, and I, as an elf, want to protect them too. It's a win-win situation.

Although this action of encroaching on her own rights was not a big deal and could basically be resolved by making a fuss, this signal made Kotori a little stressed out, because Kotori found that all the guarantees she had given to Shiori and her confidence in protecting other elves only came from Ratatoskr's willingness to maintain a win-win situation.

If Ratatoskr is unwilling, this small warning at this time may very well become an extremely tough shackle.

Why hadn't Kotori thought this would happen? Because Kotori believed that Ratatoskr's philosophy of 'peaceful coexistence with the elves' would require Shiori to complete. With this philosophy, Ratatoskr wouldn't really turn against her. But... on second thought, could Ratatoskr really maintain this philosophy forever? Just a few actions from her had led them to resort to such tactics. If they ever truly wanted to study the elves, would she be able to stop them without any defense?

Of course, Kotori knew that Ratatoskr's warning was definitely because of her actions. Normally, it would be very normal for Ratatoskr to not give Kotori a good face and to take away the power of those who jumped ship. But unfortunately... this is not a commercial company. Once Ratatoskr's means are tough, let alone power, he might even "take away" Kotori, Shiori, and Tohka together.

What's more... Ratatoskr's previous image was not that of a normal organization, but an idealistic organization.

When an idealistic organization is tainted with reality, everything brought by that golden body will rebound at a faster rate.

If Ratatoskr was not an idealistic organization, Kotori would never have joined in the first place. The reason why Kotori became extremely anxious at this time was also because of the distrust she felt after her filter of Ratatoskr was shattered.

But all of this cannot be easily put into words. After all, from a normal point of view, no matter what, she is a traitor and deserves it. Kotori can only smile bitterly.

Rita understood all of this very well. From the very beginning, she didn't even think that Ratatoskr was a good person. This can be seen from Shiori's reaction when he first learned about Ratatoskr.

She certainly understood Kotori's plight, but while the person involved couldn't speak out, she, as an outsider, could say, "For an employee who hasn't harmed the organization's interests and is planning to leave normally, Ratatoskr's actions are fine. However, for an organization that recruits talent under the guise of 'being friendly with the elves,' using the threat of 'you can't guarantee the elves' safety if you don't obey' is somewhat ridiculous."

Normal organizations can suppress the power of Kotori, who is the "biggest barrier to damaging elves", but Ratatoskr cannot do it.

“This should only be what a small number of people mean.”

Hearing someone express her feelings, Qin Li felt a little better: "In fact, not long after, someone came to me and promised me that I would be given satisfactory compensation."

That being said, both of them knew this was a classic case of the stick and the date.

It would be best if I could win over Kotori, but if I can't... there's nothing I can do.

After all, everyone knows that the Wuhe sisters are good friends with Youlandel.

This is exactly what Kotori feared. Ratatoskr had no other options, so he could only win her over. But what if he and Yulandel had no friendship at the time? What would Ratatoskr do then?

Qin Li didn't dare to think too deeply.

Chapter 76: You can see it but you can’t eat it.

Kotori really couldn't wait any longer. The atmosphere in Ratatoskr and the faint darkness it revealed made her want to get away quickly.

In fact, destiny may not necessarily be a good place either, but after explaining this to Shiori last night, the question raised by Shiori made Kotori ponder for a long time.

What bad things did Mebius do?

Kotori originally wanted to say that Mobius had done too many things, but when the words really came to her lips, she found that she couldn't say it. Because when she thought about it carefully, Kotori found that her own, and even most people in the world's, vigilance and fear of Mobius all came from imagination.

Mebius wants to rule the world. Mebius must have conducted unforgivable human experiments in studying the stigmata. Mebius must have some conspiracy in doing this.

But on the other hand, even in those countries and organizations that have been controlled by Mebius, Mebius only holds but does not use his excessive power.

The stigmata, which allows an ordinary girl to easily lift a truck weighing several tons, is theoretically impossible to obtain easily. It must be accompanied by countless experiments and sacrifices, but... until now, this theory is only a guess and has not been confirmed.

Even if there really are human experiments, why must these experiments be inhumane or even horrific?

The Valkyries are loyal to both Destiny and Mebius. Why can't it be that Mebius really has the charisma to carry out his slogans, and it must be the stigmata that changed their minds?

Thinking of this, Kotori felt as if her impression of Mebius had been shattered, just like her impression of Ratatoskr.

But... in the final analysis, although it cannot be proved that Mobius is not a good person, there is no way to prove that Mobius is a good person. Kotori is not a black and white diode. Therefore, Shiori's words only made Kotori have a new perspective on Mobius, abandoning the stereotype.

The one who really made Qin Li feel that she could surrender to her destiny first was Yulandel.

"I can't trust anyone else, but if it's you, I think it's worth a gamble."

Kotori said, "After joining Sky's Mandate, I hope to continue to serve as the highest executor of the Elf Attack Plan, and have the plan be solely managed by the Undying Blade. The people in Fraxinus are all my trusted confidants, and there won't be any spies. Of course, if Sky's Mandate is concerned, they can conduct a thorough review."

Kotori's intention is to make Yulandel her backer. Although Mobius is still the highest authority, Mobius cannot bypass Yulandel and directly operate on Kotori.

'My vassal state's vassal state is not my vassal state', something like that.

As for the people from Fraxinus, Kotori still hoped to take them along. After all, they were her old team and they were all trustworthy people. If she just left, the ending that awaited them might not be very good.

Rita lowered her eyes slightly. This was somewhat like using a friend's relationship to get in through the back door, and taking Fraxinus's group with her was a bit of moral kidnapping considering Yulandel's character.

However, Rita did not say this. She had said it before. Abusing power for personal gain is undoubtedly a shady method. But if a company's executives cannot even do so, then the company will not last long. If there are only benefits on paper, ambitious and capable people will not work with you. Although there are people who are capable but not ambitious, they are undoubtedly a minority.
