A beautiful girl who transmigrates into a Herrscher of the Void is treated like an elf and conquered

Now, all she can do is wait and pray—pray that the elf sitting on the Void Throne is in a good mood and won't be annoyed by their presence.

Then, a strange scene appeared in the sky. A white-haired elven queen sat languidly on an invisible throne, surveying all around her.

Dozens of fully armed human warriors surrounded them from a distance, as if facing a formidable enemy, not daring to cross the line.

The air froze, the wind howled. All the noise and fighting seemed to have been silenced by her alone at this moment.

Chapter 138 Surveillance, Awakening, and a Silent Farewell

Liao Zi's clenched fist finally loosened slightly as the latest instructions came through the communication channel, his palms already covered in cold sweat.

"...Order confirmed. All units maintain their current posture and monitor target [Tianji] with the highest priority. If the target does not initiate any attack, any form of provocation or firefight is strictly prohibited. Wait for it to 'Lost' naturally."

"Repeat, no firefights allowed, wait for 'Lost'."

"Hoo—" Liao Zi let out a long, silent breath, the tension in his nerves easing slightly. This was the best instruction he could hope for under the current circumstances.

She immediately relayed the order to all team members, her voice carrying an unquestionable sternness:

"Everyone heard that! Maintain the perimeter, and do not make any move that could be interpreted as hostile! If she doesn't move, we don't move! Understand?!"

"Understood, Captain!" The team members responded one after another, their voices filled with relief and joy.

However, after a brief silence, an uneasy question arose in the channel, the voice filled with youthful fear:

"Captain... what if... what if she attacks us first? What should we do?"

This problem, like a boulder, once again weighed heavily on everyone's minds.

Liaozi's facial muscles twitched, but in the end, he couldn't even manage a bitter smile.

She gazed at the figure sitting upright in the void in the distance, white hair flying everywhere, her eyes filled with only a numb calm.

She answered in an unusually flat, monotone tone:

"If she attacks..."

She paused, as if stating an objective and cruel fact, like a physical law.

"...Then let's pray. Pray that her attack didn't target you, pray that she targeted...your teammate."

These words were so cold that everyone who heard them felt a chill run down their spines.

Liaozi's voice remained calm, yet carried a despairing heaviness.

"If you're lucky enough not to be vaporized by the first hit, then step over the 'corpses' of your teammates who may have already turned into wreckage and continue charging towards her."

"Use your fastest speed, burn all your strength, and rush towards that 'god' like a moth drawn to a flame."

The channel was deathly silent, with only the faint static of the electricity.

"Captain... Captain... This... Isn't this sending us to our deaths?" another voice asked, trembling.

"Sending them to their deaths?" Liaozi finally reacted, but it was with a deeper sense of helplessness.

"Running away is the same as dying. No, it might be a faster and more meaningless death."

Her gaze seemed to pierce through space, seeing the devastation of the industrial zone reduced to ashes last time.

"Think about the last battle. With the destructive power she displayed, if she wanted, the entire Tengu City... would be nothing more than a sand dune that she could wipe off the map with a wave of her hand."

"Trying to run? You think... we can really escape?"

The despairing truth was laid bare, and no one questioned it anymore.

All the AST members could only grip their weapons tighter, transforming their unvented fear and helplessness into a more focused and humble "surveillance" of that white figure.

Below, a half-ruined school building window.

Itsuka Shido had just finished his conversation with Tohka.

Despite the twists and turns, which could even be described as a complete mess, he seems to have finally convinced Tohka that he was not an enemy and that she had extended a date invitation.

As Tohka's figure faded like a phantom and finally disappeared into the air—she "Lost".

Shido was filled with complex emotions: regret for not being able to communicate better, sympathy for Tohka's situation, and uncertainty about the future.

He subconsciously looked up at the focal point high in the sky that had attracted all the firepower and attention.

It was as if they were telepathically connected. (Or rather, Chika had been keeping a sliver of attention on him all along.)

Just as Shido looked over, the white figure sitting on the throne in the void slightly turned its head.

Golden eyes, like two cold stars, pierced through the distance of space and "glimpsed" him precisely.

His gaze remained devoid of any emotion, as indifferent as if he were looking at an unimportant object.

Then, under Shido's gaze, Chinatsu's beautifully shaped lips parted slightly, as if she were saying something silently.

The distance was too great for Shido to hear or understand lip reading.

But those brief lip movements were inexplicably imprinted in his mind.

(What is she saying?)

Before Shido could think it through, Chinatsu casually raised her hand and waved it lightly at the air beside her.

A portal, its edges crackling with purple lightning, its interior deep and dark, seemingly connecting to the endless void, silently unfolded beside her.

She showed no reluctance, as if she were simply leaving a place she was tired of, and gracefully rose to step inside.

The portal shrank rapidly after her figure disappeared into it, eventually turning into a tiny point of light and vanishing completely into the air, as if it had never existed.

At the same time, Shido felt himself enveloped in a soft light, and a familiar teleportation sensation washed over him—Fraxinus had come to take him back.

High in the sky, only a group of AST team members remained, looking at each other in bewilderment, still not daring to relax their vigilance, and the lingering, chilling aura of oppression in the air.

Before Shido was completely teleported away, all he could hear in his mind was Chika's silent glance back and the last words she seemed to have spoken to him.

(So ​​what exactly does that mean?)

Chapter 139 The Shadow of Judgment Envelops the World

The soft light faded, and Shido's figure appeared on Fraxinus's teleportation platform.

He felt grounded, but his mind remained unsettled.

"Congratulations, Shido!"

"You've worked hard, Xiao Shi."

Kotori and Reine's voices rang out almost simultaneously. Kotori had already jumped off the commander's chair, a new gem in her mouth, a relaxed smile on her face.

Murasame Reine also stood to the side; for her, this was already a considerable degree of "enthusiasm."

"The first contact operation with the [Princess]—oh, I should call her Tohka now—can be considered a success in terms of results."

Kotori walked up to Shido and put her hands on her hips.

"At least you survived, and she didn't attack you again, and eventually disappeared peacefully. Next time, we can just arrange a date, increase her favorability, and then naturally..."

"A kiss seals it, right?"

Shido replied in a low voice, his tone revealing little joy, but rather a sense of weariness.

He lowered his head slightly, his blue eyes lacking any sparkle, clearly not energized by this "success".

Kotori and Reine exchanged a glance, both seeing understanding in each other's eyes. They knew very well that Shido's current dejection stemmed not from his somewhat hasty and chaotic conversation with Tohka, but from that white-haired, golden-eyed figure who moved like the wind.

Kotori sighed, deciding to stop beating around the bush. She turned and walked back to the conductor's bench, her tone becoming serious:

“Okay, we know what you’re thinking. About Chika—or rather, [Celestial Judgment].

Upon hearing this name, Shido finally raised his head, his gaze becoming more focused.

"Her appearance this time clearly put forward the concept of 'reverse entropy recruitment'."

Reine pushed up her glasses and took over the conversation. Her voice was as slightly hoarse as ever, but the content made Shido's heart tighten.

"This is an extremely dangerous sign, Sir."

Kotori crossed her arms and rested them under her chin, fully activating her commander mode:

"'Anti-Entropy,' according to the background that Walter previously fabricated... or rather revealed, is a mysterious organization that aims to oppose DEM and even the current world order that is hostile to humans and elves."

“If this organization really exists, or if she intends to establish it, then her goal is definitely not just to recruit Tohka.”

The command brought up the data and analysis report from the previous battle, which was displayed on the main screen:

"Based on her modus operandi and her statements to Tohka, we have reason to believe that her 'recruitment' plan is systematic. This means that every new spirit that appears in the future may become her target and receive her 'invitation'."

Kotori's voice grew increasingly heavy: "Think about it, Shido. A single Spirit is already a catastrophic threat. If the Spirits were organized, formed a large force, and even had a common goal and action plan... that would be an unprecedented catastrophe for the human world."

"The human world, whether in terms of technology, military or social structure, is far from prepared to deal with large-scale, organized attacks by elves or even war."

Reine added the most crucial point: "And the [Heavenly Judgment] Herrscher, she possesses such power, and has also demonstrated such intentions and... leadership? Or rather, cohesion? Tohka's closeness and dependence on her is a dangerous sign."

“We must reassess her threat level and view her as a ‘strategic’ presence that could disrupt the existing world order, rather than just a ‘tactical’ disaster.”

The atmosphere on the bridge became incredibly tense after this analysis. The crew members held their breath, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

As Shido listened to these analyses, he felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.

He certainly understood the seriousness of the matter, but when he thought of Chika's lonely departing figure, the occasional emotions that didn't match her cold exterior, and her final silent lip-reading, he felt a surge of emotion.

...He could no longer simply view her as a "threat" or "disaster" that had to be eliminated.

(She wants to create an elf paradise... in this way?)

(What exactly is she trying to do?)

(What did she say to me in the end?)

A mix of questions and complex emotions swirled in his mind, making him even more silent.

Kotori, seeing Shido's expression, knew she needed to give him some time to process it, but she had to emphasize what needed to be emphasized: "Shido, I know you have complicated feelings for Chinatsu. But from now on, you must clearly realize that she is not just 'Chinatsu,' but also the Herrscher of the Heavenly Judgment, an existence that could drag the entire world into war."

"Our mission is to save and seal as many newly appearing Pokémon as possible before she successfully 'recruits' more. Now it's not just about stopping the spacequake and saving the Pokémon, but also about... preventing a potentially devastating war."

Shido slowly raised his head, looked at the threat assessment report about Chinatsu on the main screen, and finally nodded heavily.

"I see."

But that voice was filled with unspeakable struggle and confusion.

The paths of saving the spirit and Chika's "ideal" seem to be inevitably clashing. And he is caught in the middle of this vortex.

Chapter 140 The Determination of Nature and the Defense of Sinking

The topic then naturally shifted to Tohka's earth-shattering testimony.

—Shido still carries Chinatsu's scent. This undoubtedly provides a crucial clue for analyzing Chinatsu's identity and timeline of actions.

Kotori tapped the plastic stick of the jewel lightly with her fingertips, her eyes sharp:

"If Tohka's perception is correct, then the timeline is clear. On the day of the previous spacequake warning, Shido, on your way from the shelter to the family restaurant, you must have had contact with Chinatsu, who was already a Spirit at that time, even if it was just for a moment."

Ling Yin then retrieved the original record and calmly added:

"This means that the time when Phoenix Inu no Chika became a Spirit was long before she officially appeared as the 'Successor of Welt'. The Spirit power within her was not entirely inherited from 'Welt Yang'."

Kotori took over the conversation and began to construct a logical chain:

"Therefore, the story of 'Walter Yang' and 'Anti-Entropy' needs to be re-evaluated. The most likely possibility is..."

She paused, then uttered the most plausible yet worst-case scenario: "Chinatsu herself is an elf, a [Judgment]. If Welt's story is also false, then that 'Walter Yang' might just be an unlucky guy who accidentally gained the power of the 'Herrscher of Reason' and somehow crossed paths with Chinatsu."

"It's possible that Chika deceived him and took advantage of his power or knowledge; or it's possible that he was seriously injured and, on his deathbed, accidentally passed on the power of 'reason' to Chika, who may have been in a special state at the time."

Following this line of thought, Lingyin analyzed, "In short, the result is that Chika, the spirit who originally possessed the power of 'Divine Judgment,' unexpectedly gained a second powerful power—the authority of the 'Herrscher of Reason.'"

Kotori finally made the final decision: "Therefore, the conclusion is: Hououin Chinatsu is essentially a spirit codenamed [Celestial Judgment], and she possesses the primal power to manipulate space and lightning."

“‘Walter Yang’ and her legacy are more like an unexpected interlude that gave her wings, making her an unprecedented and unique being with dual powers. Her story is half true and half false, and its core purpose is to cover up her true origins.”

This inference positions Chinatsu as a spirit who possesses power from the beginning and may have ulterior motives, greatly downplaying the existence of "Walter" and even portraying him as a supporting character who is either being used or has bad luck.

This undoubtedly elevates Chika's threatening and "deceptive" nature to its highest level.

"Wait...wait a minute!"

Shido couldn't help but interrupt, his brows furrowed and his face full of disapproval.
