The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Emery received a spirit sphere the size of a ping-pong ball, with a black and white yin-yang symbol on its surface... to be precise, it should be a miniature yin-yang jade.

Ji Xinyu was able to plan ahead for her own path to becoming stronger, and Amelie was no exception.

After obtaining the Mini Yin-Yang Jade, Emerald did not rush to merge it with her soul. Instead, she began meditating and cultivating in the manner of a mage.

But this was no ordinary training. Not only did she operate her golden right eye at full power, generating magic power continuously, she also took out a magic microphone made from Mondorie's vocal cords and used it as an external magic battery to absorb magic power.

That wasn't enough. Emerald used all the magical materials she carried with her, even the spiritual materials in the Netherworld Cult's storeroom... Everything that could be extracted and absorbed by her became Emerald's source of magic at this moment.

"Ughhhhhh..."

A normal mage, even one in the fusion stage, would have their meridians explode long ago if they absorbed so much magic power in one go.

But Emerald is different. In order to break through to the Fusion stage, she had repeatedly pushed her meridians to the limit and then had Marcy repair them with the Flame of Life... Just like how hair becomes thicker and harder the more it is cut, meridians will also increase in strength through such repeated tempering.

Moreover, even after Amelie broke through the fusion stage, she never stopped training like this, only the effect was not as obvious as before.

Even so, Emerald's meridian strength and resilience are still quite astonishing, capable of withstanding even larger flows of magic power.

Now, this magic is flowing intensely through Amelie's meridians, and she is controlling it to gather towards her heart through her blood vessels.

As a large amount of magic was forcibly poured into her heart, Emerald's heartbeat became faster and faster, like a car engine about to explode.

Finally, after reaching a certain critical point, the heartbeat began to subside rapidly, and the entire heart began to change—becoming magical.

Amélie is attacking her second fusion organ.

Fusing organs cannot be accomplished simply by having enough magic power; they also require the mutation of special abilities, such as innate magic.

The success rate of this mutation is not high, and it is also the key to whether a new fusion organ can be formed. Many fusion-stage mages have accumulated magic power for many years but have been unable to obtain a second fusion organ for a long time. This is because they always fail at the step of obtaining special abilities.

What if we prepare special abilities in advance?

After her heart successfully began to be enchanted, Amelie did not hesitate at all. She endured the intense sensations in her body and soul, grabbed the miniature Yin-Yang Jade spirit body that had been separated from Ji Xinyu, and fused it into the heart part of her soul.

Merging fragments of someone else's soul into one's own, and causing organs that have already begun to mutate into magical forms to develop special abilities, are not easy tasks. In addition to strength and preparation, luck is also required.

But when two things happen at the same time, and both involve the heart, the situation is different.

Just like successfully exploiting a bug in a game, the heart in the process of magical transformation, after detecting the miniature spirit Yin-Yang Jade, determined that the special ability had successfully mutated, skipped the most difficult step, and directly began the final magical fusion.

Because her heart had already regarded the miniature spirit yin-yang jade as part of itself, Amelie's soul had no rejection reaction when merging with the miniature spirit yin-yang jade, allowing the miniature spirit yin-yang jade to merge into Amelie's soul like a drop of water falling into a teacup.

The bug was successfully exploited!

Upon realizing this, Amelie was overjoyed, but she immediately calmed herself down and focused on completing the fusion of the heart's magic.

"...Hehe, this little Ellie has some ideas."

The old lich who had been guarding Amelie's side saw this and withdrew the magic power he had gathered in his palm, completely relaxing.

As someone who has walked the path of death the furthest, the old lich also has a unique understanding of life. The reason why her flesh and bone modification technique is a unique necromancy is because this magic is not actually a simple necromancy, but a dual-elemental composite magic of necromancy and life.

So while the old lich's healing abilities aren't as outrageous as the Flame of Life, if Emerald really messes things up and damages her body, the old lich can still guarantee she won't die... This is the source of Emerald's confidence to boldly try exploiting bugs.

Fortunately, the bug was exploited successfully.

Several days later, when Emeryte opened her eyes again and awoke from her meditation, it was already several days later.

Feeling the almost limitless and powerful source of magic within her body, Amelie's face beamed with a happy smile.

This is a huge improvement for her.

The woman in red once said that even if Emery successfully fused with Ji Xinyu's talent, it would be impossible for her to immediately raise holy magic to the same level as necromancy.

But that only applies to the case where some of Ji Xinyu's talents have been integrated.

If Ji Xinyu's talent were completely transformed into a new ability to fuse her own organs, things would be different.

Amelie didn't rush to leave the secret room. First, she stretched out one hand, opened her palm, and condensed a ball of necromancy with considerable strength.

Then Emerald manipulated her fused organ, her heart, to reverse the flow of her blood.

Her head felt hot for a moment, but that was all. Soon, the feeling that she only had when wearing the Winged Saintess outfit made Emily quite excited.

She quickly stretched out her other hand, opened her palm, and began to gather magic power. This time, what she gathered was pure holy magic power, and its intensity was no less than that of necromancy magic power.

"Hahahaha... Now let's see who dares to say that I'm just a fake saintess pretending to be one by relying on magical armor. I'll definitely shoot them in the face with my holy ray!"

After a brief moment of smug joy, Amelie forced herself to calm down again and began to focus on sensing the specific capabilities of the newly fused organ, the heart.

The process was neither complicated nor difficult; Amelie figured it out after a little research.

The heart is the center and power source of blood circulation in the human body. After the heart became a fusion organ, Amelie's blood also changed.

Her blood was no longer red.

When Emerald's blood flows normally, it is pure black with a faint purple glow. Each drop contains powerful necromantic magic, enough to transform thousands of corpses into an undead army.

When Emerald controls her heart to reverse the flow of blood, her blood turns pure white with a faint golden light. Each drop of blood contains powerful holy magic, which can purify thousands of ordinary undead with a single strike.

Simply put, Emerald's fused organ, the heart, almost perfectly replicated Ji Xinyu's innate divine power, allowing Emerald to switch freely between necromancer and holy mage, and any improvement in one power would simultaneously improve the other power, resulting in double the reward for one's efforts.

...and that's not all.

With a thought, Amelie jumped out of her spirit world and stood obediently in front of her.

Emerald first pinched the face of the undead Aya, which was indistinguishable from that of a living beautiful girl, and then gave her a divine blessing.

Normally, the undead are countered by holy magic; even healing and buffing holy magic will cause damage when cast on the undead.

But now, the undead Ayahime hasn't suffered any damage; instead, she's received a buff, with all her attributes significantly improved.

"Greetings, Miss."

After controlling the undead Ayahime to bow and greet her while holding up her skirt, Emerald sent the undead Ayahime back to the undead realm and summoned a new undead.

This time, the undead are the lowest-level skeleton soldiers. Apart from being slightly stronger than humans, they have no special abilities and move very slowly. They may not even be able to defeat a farmer wielding an axe or hammer. They are the cheapest cannon fodder.

Snapped.

Emerald snapped her fingers and cast another holy spell on the skeleton soldier.

This time it's also a holy-type blessing magic - Holy Armament, which Emerald used on Polnareff before when Polnareff and Lulu were fighting.

This blessing magic has little effect on second-stage cultivators; it can only instantly elevate ordinary people to the level of first-stage cultivators, namely awakened mages and apprentice mages. It is used by the church in another world to convert a large number of ordinary believers into basic combat forces in times of emergency.

The lowest-ranking skeleton soldier, whose combat strength was roughly equivalent to that of an average adult male, did not vanish into thin air in the holy light. Instead, it also received the effects of divine armor and became stronger.

Its strength increased, its bones hardened, its sluggish movements became agile, and it acquired a bone sword and a bone shield as equipment. Even the blade of the bone sword glowed faintly with a white light, allowing it to inflict a small amount of holy damage upon attack.

Aside from lacking armor and corresponding martial arts skills, this skeleton soldier is now roughly equivalent to a trainee paladin from another world, perfectly matching the effect of divine armor.

"Oh wow... this is really something~~"

Even Amelie herself raised an eyebrow at the result, imagining herself first using necromancy to resurrect thousands of corpses as an army of the undead, and then using holy weapons to turn them all into undead apprentice paladins...tsk tsk tsk, what a scene that would be.

At the same time, Emerald was also a little worried—was what she did blasphemy? Would the goddess who had blessed her and allowed her to use holy magic arrest her and put her on trial for this?

However, this worry was only momentary, because Amelie quickly thought of something else—what could be a more impressive missionary achievement than turning the undead into paladins? If that goddess really knew, she might actually appoint herself as a saintess.

After thoroughly understanding the various capabilities of her newly fused organ, the heart, Amelie stretched and then took out a full-length mirror and placed it in front of her.

"Sisi, come and tidy up my clothes and hair... uh, Sisi isn't here."

When Emerald instinctively wanted her personal maid to serve her, she suddenly remembered that her maid wasn't with her at the moment, and her expression immediately became somewhat complicated:

"What's wrong with me? Could it be that I miss Qianqian? How could that be? I... I don't know if my mother-in-law and the aunt in red have anything else to do."

Biting her lip, Emerald summoned the undead beauty and the undead aya, controlling the mother and daughter flower duo to tidy her clothes and hair from behind.

Only after completely eliminating the feeling of practicing in the secret chamber for more than 10 days and regaining the elegant demeanor befitting a young lady did Emerald step out of the secret chamber, her legs encased in black stockings, and walk up the steps towards the outside of the chamber.

Chapter 267 Young Master of the Rebel Army

The stairs to the secret chamber are very long, and you have to pass through three magical verifications in the middle. But once you reach the ground, there is a very spacious courtyard. There are basically no other Netherworld Cult members who enter here. This place is a forbidden area in the Netherworld Cult headquarters. Only the patriarch and the messenger can enter and exit.

Before she even stepped out of the passage, Amelie heard the sounds of fighting coming from the courtyard. She guessed that Ji Xinyu had already obtained her new power and was training and adapting to it.

Upon going outside, sure enough, it was Ji Xinyu fighting against several of the old lich's undead.

Those undead must have all used swords in their lives. There were Imperial swordsmen who used longswords, Sakura swordsmen who used katanas, and Federation mages who used blade-type magical devices.

Everyone, including Ji Xinyu and the undead, suppressed their spiritual and magical power, relying mainly on martial arts and sword techniques in combat.

This was clearly Ji Xinyu practicing with a new weapon, because at this moment she was not holding a spear, but a longsword with a pink blade, the blade being about three feet long, the same length as the invisible ribbon that had been cut off from Ameliete.

"Senior sister? You've emerged from seclusion?"

Upon seeing Amelie emerge from underground, Ji Xinyu immediately ceased her battle. The undead also bowed to Amelie as if they were subjects paying respects to a princess, and then vanished on the spot.

"Yes, I did it."

Amelie smiled and gently patted her chest.

"Junior sister, your talent is very useful. I've already memorized it."

“I also forged a part of your talent and soul into this sword, Senior Sister.”

In a flash, Ji Xinyu leaped to Amelie's side, proudly displaying the pink longsword to her:

"Senior sister, look, this sword is just as beautiful as you, and also..."

As Ji Xinyu spoke, she reversed her grip on the sword hilt, pointed the tip at the collar of her palace dress, and sheathed the longsword as if returning it to its original sheath.

"I can keep her in my heart too, senior sister~~"

"That's great, junior sister."

Emerald's smile also brightened:

"That way, we're both in each other's hearts now~~"

The two women gazed at each other with alluring and tender eyes. After a long while, Ji Xinyu sighed and shrugged first.

"Never mind... I thought you would be like those other young ladies, shyly throwing yourself into my arms, but I didn't expect you to make my heart flutter."

"I can't help it, because the way you flirted with me, junior sister, is the same way I often use to flirt with other girls. I can't help but want to compete with you when I see it."

Amelie smiled and then asked curiously:

"Junior sister, besides being beautiful, does your sword have any other abilities?"

"Of course it does! My sword is incredibly powerful... First of all, apart from Master and you, Senior Sister, no one else can see it at all, making it extremely useful for surprise attacks. As for its other abilities... I'll find a suitable target for actual combat later, and I'll use it myself so you can see for yourself."

"An invisible sword? That's really powerful."

Emery smiled and nodded:

“When I was weaker, I liked to use ribbons as blades and take down a lot of small fry by sneaking around.”

"Yes, it's really hard to guard against beings with innate souls... When you secretly tied me up during our competition, I was very curious as to why the seemingly weak Hand of the Dead was so powerful."

Ji Xinyu muttered a slight complaint, then asked with some curiosity:

"And what about you, Senior Sister? I heard Master and Mistress talk about your plan. You're using my talent as a special ability for your second fused organ? Is it working well?"

"It works really well~~"

Emerald suddenly grinned mischievously:

"I was just about to go and test my mother-in-law, and maybe give her a scare while I'm at it... Junior sister, would you like to come along and take a look?"

"Of course! Come on, I'll take you to them."

Ji Xinyu agreed without hesitation and naturally linked arms with Amelie, creating a beautiful and artistic scene where the imperial princess in her palace attire and the federal young lady in her formal gown together would be used as wallpaper by countless people on Earth.

"Let's have a little sparring session, Mother-in-law."

After finding the old lich and the woman in red playing chess while listening to music, Amelie confidently challenged the old lich.

"...Hey, Ellie, are you itching for a beating? You think you're all that now that you've gotten a second fused organ?"

The old lich paused for a moment, then began to chuckle strangely:

"Of course, no problem. Making your pretty face look like you're crying would be very funny to me."

As he spoke, the old lich extended a bone claw, and a massive amount of death power began to gather, ready to pin Ameliete to the ground and beat her.

"Wait, Grandma, wait! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Emery quickly hid behind the woman in red, sticking out half her head with her tongue lolling out:

“I’m definitely no match for Grandma in this kind of sparring, and it’s pointless… What I mean is, how about we have a sparring match with specific rules, like each of us using the worst skeletons to form an undead army of about 2000 to fight each other, what do you think?”

"...Using trashy skeletons for legion battles? Little Ellie, what new and outlandish trick are you planning now?"
