Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

The reason the Doctor's face, which was not exposed, became ferocious was because the ring on Amiya's hand was no longer visible.

No one understands why the Doctor was so excited about Amiya after she removed the ring, gained a weapon, and became stronger.

"You knew Amiya was hiding such great power? Isn't that great? One punch from her and that person would be half dead."

When Thomas asked the doctor more questions, the other two became restless.

"I can't wait any longer, I'm going to go see my sister!"

"I'm going to Amiya's."

Chen and Rosemary each headed towards their respective positions on the battlefield. Tomart, unsure whether it was still "during the battle," didn't stop them and let them go.

Leaving aside Amiya, who seems energetic but has undergone some personality changes, Talulah on the other side is not so easy to defeat either.

But Talulah is now lying in a crater in the ruins covered by the molten Originium Arts, pondering a question.

—Did that girl named Amiya conspire with Tomat to lure her out for public execution?

Originally, in the spiritual world, Amiya spoke so righteously and solemnly, even appearing to be willing to make a sacrifice.

But in reality, she unleashed an unprecedentedly bizarre and powerful attack that sent him flying, then looked at him with contempt, and is now even swaggering over others, raising her middle finger as if to show off her victory.

I thought she was going to do as agreed, to demonstrate her fighting skills so that others who wanted to interfere could not intervene, and then stop being used by others and get the judgment she deserved.

Now, it's like setting a trap, putting himself in an unexpected and unfavorable situation.

She's an injured Draco, guilty and in need of punishment, but she's a little Caster who made a trustworthy promise and then lied and ambushed him. Is that alright?

"Talulah!"

As Talulah pondered whether to continue the fight or do something else, a familiar blue hue peeked into the cave entrance.

This is Chen arriving at the location where Talulah was knocked away.

In front of others, she usually calls Talulah "older sister," but when they met again after nearly twenty years, she still chose to call her by her real name.

Talulah hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should find something substantial to cover her body.

Having just snapped out of her reverie, her thoughts were still somewhat blocked. After meeting Chen's gaze with a slightly evasive look, Talulah finally managed to squeeze out a sentence:

"Long time no see, Huijie..."

"I haven't seen your head all this time. What have you been doing all these years?"

Meanwhile, Thomas pulled the Doctor to Amiya's side and listened to the reason for the Doctor's breakdown.

"Kal'tsit said that if that kind of thing happened, she'd send me to the bridge, make me into dried meat, and eat me!!!"

"I don't know why you would say that, but it's such an exaggeration. She's just trying to scare you, isn't she?"

Does she seem like the type to joke around?

"Just consider yourself her exception."

Thomas continued to advise the Doctor to think positively, since they were finally on their way and could enjoy themselves as much as possible before then.

However, judging from the doctor's explanation in a tone of utter despair...

Amiya's use of this technique does indeed put a heavy burden on her body, and her mental state is also affected to some extent.

Amiya usually uses spells similar to emotion absorption to enhance her own strength or assist in battle, but she always keeps them within a certain limit to avoid causing damage to her body.

However, directly releasing the ring is different. Amiya will receive a large amount of "emotion" from the released weapon, which will cause her strength to grow explosively and even change her personality.

In layman's terms, it means that the weapon was possessed by its original user.

"So this delinquent girl look isn't Amiya just letting loose?"

Upon hearing this, Tomat seemed a little disappointed.

[Main Text] Chernobog, Amidst the Ruins: Chapter Thirty-Eight As expected of the Doctor, he easily accomplished what we couldn't.

No single power has the right to forcibly take over the original leadership of the Integration Movement.

The party that first knocks her down and takes her into custody will have the right to temporarily detain her.

Of course, most people didn't understand what happened at first. They were still wondering why the dragon had suddenly disappeared, and then a woman covered in flames emerged from it.

Then, in less than ten seconds, he was punched away by Rhodes Island's young CEO.

However, only a small portion of the people sent by Lungmen recognized the face after Chen brought Talulah, who was covered with a piece of clothing, out of the pit.

Among these people, some were eager to try, and didn't even notice the masked Rhodes Island operator dressed as a Rhodes Island agent, whose sword was their superior's Crimson Blade.

It's possible that they were indeed given the order to "bring Talulah back if they encounter her," which is why they paid so much attention to such a conspicuous target.

However, their official public statement, as well as the cooperation agreement signed with Rhodes Island, was always "going to Chernobog for rescue and reconnaissance" rather than "searching for Talulah".

Rhodes Island came to assess the disaster situation and carry out rescue work. Even if they encountered Talulah, they had no obligation to assist in her capture, let alone if they actively subdued Talulah.

In the previous matters, Rhodes Island and Lungmen were partners, but what happened later was entirely an "unexpected situation encountered by Rhodes Island as a third party." Therefore, even if they had this idea, Rhodes Island did not need to hand over Talulah according to that non-existent "cooperative purpose."

—We encountered and subdued her ourselves. You want her? Then come and take her.

On the Royal Guard side, it seems that quite a few of the team leaders have grasped the significance of Amiya defeating Talulah.

Although they weren't entirely clear why Rhodes Island did this, they did succeed. Before the other side could react, they exploited loopholes in the contract and the fact that Rhodes Island was a third party, swiftly and decisively taking down Talulah, who was arguably the "original objective."

"Tch, the leaders of Rhodes Island have actually schemed to this extent?"

"Judging from his feigned surprise, I bet he's incredibly smug under that hood..."

"But who gave them the audacity to snatch someone right under our noses?"

Their first thought was of Ursus military personnel who were also suspects—then another possibility came to mind.

That was Thomas, standing next to the doctor they were talking about.

Possessing Talulah will attract the attention of various factions, even though these so-called "factions" will also restrain each other for the sake of Talulah.

However, betting everything on this possibility is too risky for a small pharmaceutical company.

After all, any faction, with the support of a backer organization, could cause Rhodes Island to be "accidentally destroyed" in the wild.

But things are different now. Rhodes Island seems to have gained confidence. The incident caused by the giant ape was enough to draw the attention of more countries to this pharmaceutical company that is "suspected of possessing relevant intelligence".

If we were to attack Rhodes Island for the sake of Talulah, it would bring about international problems far greater than the troubles Talulah herself would cause.

"The Doctor from Rhodes Island must be certain that we won't offend any more powerful forces for the sake of Talulah... After all, if we take Talulah from Rhodes Island, the only ones who will cause trouble for Lungmen are Ursus or Victoria. But if we attack Rhodes Island, all the countries in the world will think that we want to monopolize that dangerous intelligence source."

"Putting several countries and the entire Terra on a scale for us to choose from, for a mere pharmaceutical company, is truly a huge gamble."

Although most of the personnel sent by Lungmen were simply ordinary guards who were responsible and enthusiastic about their city-state, they were unaware of the power struggles involved.

However, in the eyes of the slightly higher-ranking personnel in charge of leading them, Amiya, who has now demonstrated great strength, the Doctor, who possesses extraordinary strategies, and Rhodes Island, which has gathered these people, are already seen as an existence that cannot be ignored in the future.

—At this moment, the Doctor was still anxiously waiting for Kal'tsit and the others who would arrive soon, completely unaware of the intense gazes coming from the Royal Guard personnel.

"Amiya?"

"Hmm? Just say what you need to say, Doctor. How many times do you have to call my name?"

Each time the Doctor tries to confirm the changes in Amiya's personality, his despair deepens.

"Amiya, something's wrong. Are you alright?"

Rosemary couldn't understand this change. She simply stood in front of Amiya, whose behavior was much more unfamiliar than before, and tilted her head in confusion.

However, the "understanding" that Amiya gave her through her senses seemed to remain the same as before. Otherwise, given Rosemary's unique perception of the outside world, she probably wouldn't have recognized the other person as her "family" whom she had always known.

"I'm fine, it's just a side effect of the spell. I'll be fine once Dr. Kal'tsit arrives."

The once well-behaved Custer has taken on a roguish air in his words and actions.

Even when communicating with others, he seems to have an impatient and self-willed air about him.

"And I'm a little tired, is there anywhere I can take a nap?"

Without waiting for the accompanying medical operator to lead the way, Amiya left the crowd on her own and flew to the nearest Rhodes Island transport vehicle—taking off without any hesitation, completely unconcerned that others could see what was under her skirt when they looked up.

"Hmm... to be honest, I quite like her current temperament. My Saiyan DNA has been activated."

"But I don't want her to be like this. If Kal'tsit sees her like this, she'll kill me!"

The Doctor watched Amiya leave, and Rosemary followed her back. After all, she wasn't used to being in such a crowded place.

At this moment, the Doctor was still immersed in worrying about his fate in a while, but reality would not give him so much free time. Soon, Chen, who returned with Talulah, immediately became a new problem for the Doctor to face.

"She told me the general story on the way, and I really think it was a good idea to leave her on Rhodes Island. I'm even more impressed with you now that you can make such a situation analysis and judgment. No wonder all the operators are willing to call you Doctor."

"...I don't understand what you're saying?"

When Chen learned the whole story from Talulah and praised the Doctor, he, like everyone else, had only heard very little information from Amiya and Tommat, and naturally, a bunch of question marks popped out from under that pitch-black hood.

However, the Doctor's questions did not stop Chen from leading Talulah toward the Rhodes Island transport vehicle. She had already planned to take Talulah to rest for a while and catch up with her old friends.

[Main Text] Chernobog, Amidst the Ruins: Chapter Thirty-Nine - If You Can Talk, Say More

So much has happened, but in reality, only about half a day has passed since they arrived here.

One event after another occurred, leaving little room for respite, especially for the Doctor. First came the dragon, then the sea of ​​fire, followed by Amiya's sudden change in temperament due to the use of magic, and now the Rhodes Island main ship is gradually appearing in sight—this is making the Doctor's fragile little heart a little unbearable.

On the bright side, the rescue progress reported to the doctor so far has been going quite smoothly.

With the exception of events occurring in the core city area, all rescue convoys have generally carried out their rescue operations successfully.

And when the initial roar appeared, the rescued Chernobog refugees were led away from the central area as far as possible along with some of the rescuers.

Although the flames that later turned the sky almost red caused them to panic to some extent, the Rhodes Island rescuers, especially the medical staff, were very experienced and helped them regain their composure in time. Under their careful care, most of the people who were weak, injured or sick due to being trapped were well taken care of.

As for the combat operators who were summoned or came here voluntarily out of concern for the situation in the core city, the battle was already over by the time they arrived.

"What... what's going on? The ground is cracked all over, and there are traces of melting and then solidifying. The previous explosion was terrifying. And why are there Ursus soldiers here? Did they really send soldiers to rescue us?"

The brutality, fueled by a multitude of questions, stands in stark contrast to the somewhat taciturn scavenger.

As she approached the Doctor to inquire, while simultaneously searching for Amiya, Tommat had already explained to the Scavenger what had happened during this time in simple and easy-to-understand language.

"That Talulah turned into a dragon and got beaten up. We went into her head, killed a god inside, and after we came out, Talulah fought Amiya. Now she should be fine."

"I see. Except for the last sentence, I couldn't understand anything else."

The illogical explanations didn't bother the cleaner; she just frowned, automatically filtering out the incomprehensible parts, and continued, "Anyway, the last sentence is the most important, isn't it?"
