Chapter 25 Welcome Party
(Magic Gemstone?)
Although the fact that the evolved bodies at the演变体 would explode Magic Gemstones was something she was concerned about, Lonis didn’t have the opportunity to investigate these stones yet.
Due to the large number of evolved bodies that had infiltrated the base, the girls simply collected the gemstones and immediately prepared for the next battle.
…
“Princess Hero, would you like to rest for a while? Let us handle it?”
“Cécile, is it okay?”
“Yes, I know how to deal with these guys now.”
…
…
While Lonis was fighting, her companions had completely gathered the enemies’ weaknesses, and together with senior Isumi and Princess Cécile, they formulated a detailed battle plan.
As the saying goes, fear comes from the unknown. Once you know the enemy’s strengths and weaknesses, it’s no longer that frightening.
…
Cécile’s chosen method of combat was simple: at the moment the evolved bodies attacked, she used teleportation magic to send two different evolved bodies towards each other!
Their radiance would interfere with each other, effectively reflecting off the Ember Shield.
Afterward, they could take advantage of this paralyzed gap to launch a full-scale assault on the evolved bodies… Although the surface of the evolved bodies was extremely hard, some attacks from the Rainbow Abyss that altered material properties could still be effective against them.
Because of this, with the girls’ concerted cooperation, all the other evolved bodies were wiped out without any effort.
…
…
“So amazing… I can’t see through the power of these guys at all.”
Staring at the girls, Shanalil was utterly shocked beyond comparison.
Although, in terms of absolute power, the Rainbow Abyss might not be invincible, their combinatorial changes were incredibly diverse—it was a dynamic power, not rigid, therefore capable of adapting to almost all possible situations.
“Hehe, as expected of future heroes, everyone is so amazing!”
“Wow, Su Ling is being hugged.”
Seeing the victorious results, Komoe couldn’t help but hug Su Ling—no one was injured in this battle, and it could be described as a great victory.
However, Zijing stared at the girls, as if contemplating something, and after a long while, she slowly said:
“Hmm, you’ve done reasonably well for now? But don’t get complacent, the evolved bodies are just slightly advanced regular soldiers to the Supreme civilization.”
“Huh?”
“If you think the enemies are only this level, then you’re too naive. However… as per our agreement, you do have the qualifications to be accepted by us. Welcome, heroes from the future!”
…
…
Afterward, Zijing led everyone into the headquarters’ living area.
And the scene that greeted their eyes stunned Lonis!
Because in the vast front hall, a banner had been unfurled, which read: “Welcome to Earth Defense Headquarters, the Hope of Humanity, Hero Lonis and her companions.”
And standing beside it? Were many people holding flower wreaths—although they weren’t professional actors, the smiles on their lips were full of warmth, truly incredibly warm.
…
“Wow, what is this…”
“Welcome, welcome!”
…
Komoe and Xiao Ling, as if well-prepared, immediately joined the crowd to welcome the girls.
…
“Ah, everyone is so enthusiastic…”
“I smell food, is there a delicious big chicken leg?”
“Yes, we’ve prepared a lavish banquet, please join us for a meal!”
…
…
This was not only a welcome party, but also a celebration for the Supreme civilization’s victory!
Because before the girls arrived, the evolved bodies had actually put a lot of pressure on everyone, and now that they had defeated them all in one go, it was incredibly morale-boosting!
Therefore, upon learning that Lonis was the hero who defeated the enemy, many companions came forward to celebrate, using juice to substitute for “toasting.”
…
“Your Highness, please let me offer you a toast.”
“Ah, thank you…”
“Hero, you’re so amazing, I want to be as outstanding as you!”
…
Among those who toasted Lonis, many were cute and beautiful girls—in fact, the proportion of females at the Earth Defense Headquarters was not small, almost 70%, and each of them had outstanding appearances and seemed to be people of status.
However, Lonis’s mood had risen to her throat.
Because…
Elusiia hadn’t spoken for a quarter of an hour.
(Wuwu, Elusiia, could she be jealous?)
…
Lonis was uneasy in her heart because Elusiia’s name was not on the welcome party banner, and when she faced the other girls, her eyes involuntarily drifted towards the locations of those scars.
Although she looked away immediately, Elusiia must have noticed!
Therefore, as the banquet progressed, Lonis became increasingly anxious and didn’t dare to interact with the girls… She quietly slipped out and found someone who would absolutely not be jealous of Elusiia.
That was…
…
“Your Highness Ruo Hui Gong, it’s been a long time!”
“Yes, Your Highness Hero, it’s been a long time. Speaking of which, hasn’t it been a thousand years?”
“Uwaa…”
…
Looking at the faint smile on Ruo Hui Gong’s lips, Lonis also blushed a little—because His Highness Ruo Hui Gong was also wearing female attire now, a fitted pure white evening gown that appeared so pure, full of the elegant charm of a “big sister.”
“How is it, Your Highness Hero, are you adapting to the environment here? Although Alice instructed us not to interact too much with those from the past, even the loli shrine maiden knows that no interaction at all is impossible. Fate, once it appears, is unavoidable.”
“Uh?”
Lonis was stunned, not expecting King Ruo Hui Gong to utter such philosophical words.
“Hmm, curiosity is a natural reaction… Shall I introduce you to the identities of those girls just now?”
Ruo Hui Gong seemed unaware that Elusiia had merged with her, so her speaking style was somewhat like casual conversation between men.
“Ah, ah… An introduction is needed? But I’d rather know, who is that senior named Tsukimi Shimo…”
“Tsukimi Shimo…”
“Yes, she’s Elusiia’s master, and also the senior and founder of the Kolotia family, right?”
Fearing that her wife would be even more upset, Lonis quickly changed the subject.
“Hmm, Her Highness Tsukimi Shimo… How should I put it? If she were present, you wouldn’t need to distinguish her; you would know she is Tsukimi Shimo.”
“Uh?”
“Because her beauty is unparalleled. To be precise, only Princess Mingjing, who married into the Snow Kingdom back then, had the qualification to be compared with Senior Tsukimi Shimo…”
“Ah!”
Lonis was startled because the princess Ruo Hui Gong mentioned was Elusiia’s mother.
“So, Senior Tsukimi Shimo is not at the banquet? She had matters to attend to a few days ago and is not at headquarters now… The current defense matters are being handled by Miss Zijing.”
“I see, so that’s how it is…”
“However, Senior Tsukimi Shimo also greatly values the affairs of Your Highness Lonis, Senior Elusiia, and everyone else. I believe that once she returns, she will meet with us at the earliest opportunity.”
