Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 687 - 342: Shadowdancer, Test Subject_3

Isn’t this redundant?

Facing him with his perfect parasitic abilities, there was no need for Flandre to give him the blending liquid. At most, she would present him a ’wax sealed stamp’.

Unless this younger version of Flandre had no idea about his parasitic ability in the first place.

Thus, the two Flandres were not the same person at all!

With that thought, Lin Xun immediately set out for the ancient nest.

For safety’s sake, he didn’t go straight to the third floor where Flandre was. Instead, he first went to the second floor of the nest, which was a resurrection point, and teleported back to the birthplace, the monastery.

Once the confession room of the abbey was set as the resurrection point, he teleported back.

This way, even if his conjecture was wrong, leading to a fall-out with Flandre, he wouldn’t keep dying repeatedly in the ancient nest, waiting to be preyed on by this super BOSS.

Assured that everything was in order, Lin Xun headed for the third floor of the nest to find Flandre...

[...]

[The elevator stopped. ’Flandre the Oathbreaker’ was hanging in the middle of the circular platform.]

[Numerous broad tubes connected to her enormous, abnormal lower body, imprisoning her in the eternally dark depths below.]

[Flandre’s upper body, much like a young girl’s dipped in wax, crossed her arms and shut her eyes.]

[Noticing your arrival, she opened her eyes slowly. Her gaze was somewhat drowsy, perhaps because your frequent visits were disturbing her slumber...]

[But even then, Flandre bore no grudge and was glad that you came to visit her.]

[Would you like to share your experiences with ’Flandre the Oathbreaker’?]

"If acting was this good, it would’ve been a shame not to win an Oscar."

"Ah, no, perhaps it’s something like a split personality..."

Lin Xun’s imagination ran wild, he felt he was close to the answer, and decisively chose ’Yes’.

[You describe the encounter with the ’young girl Flandre’ at the ’Belatu mansion’ to the ’Flandre the Oathbreaker’ in front of you in detail...]

[...]

[Flandre listens to you quietly, showing no surprise.]

[Her gaze appears somewhat vacant as if she is recalling something. After quite a while, she begins explaining the reason...]

[Oath keeper, do you still remember the false memories the wet nurse once instilled in you?]

[Your body will turn into nutrients nourishing the land of the Divine Kingdom, your soul will return to the embrace of the wet nurse, your great achievements will be remembered by future generations, engraved on the immortal stele.]

[Death does not mean the end. You will be reborn under the nurturing of the wet nurse, commencing the next cycle of life...]

[These memories are not entirely false.]

[Indeed, the wet nurse possesses the magnificent power to initiate the next cycle of life, and the version of her you met in the form of a young girl is a recreation.]

[After helping a parasite named Jinmu escape the nest, she was exposed by her brothers and sisters, causing her to lose her authority over the nest.]

[Later, as the war progressed unfavorably, the wet nurse, in a moment of desperation, finally deciphered the gene of the Firefly.]

[Even though this made her stronger, she lost her divine body.]

[The wet nurse desperately wanted to integrate all the known genes to create a new divine body, but to create such a formidable divine body is not that easy, right?]

[The wet nurse needed test subjects, and she, who betrayed the wet nurse, was the ideal candidate!]

[This follows the wet nurse’s usual style: being a test subject is not only a privilege but also a divine punishment.]

[As you have seen... she became a failed experiment.]

[The wet nurse continued her experiments, initiated a new life cycle, and created the next test subject—Flandre. Using their original civilization’s terminology, this is called ’cloning’.]

[The ’Flandre’ you saw was in the form of a human girl, you couldn’t see any traces of an insect in her. This indicates that the wet nurse has completely merged the Firefly’s gene.]

[She is very close to creating a true divine body, an unprecedented and formidable divine body...]

[If this is indeed the case, the Fireflies cannot defeat the wet nurse who possesses a brand new divine body, the divine war will end soon... And you, along with her, will disappear as the Fireflies are consumed.]

[After Flandre finishes her words, she is already sobbing, seemingly foreseeing the wet nurse swallowing the Fireflies and leading her children away from this doomed world to another world in the endless universe.]

"Damn it, so it isn’t just two Flandres, but many more?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Just that the exposed Flandre is the perfect specimen..."

"What about the other specimens? Have they been destroyed or hidden somewhere?"

Lin Xun suddenly realized that the Fireflies shouldn’t be extinguished this quickly.

The reason was simple because the loyal ’Firefly Envoy’ delivered a new gene to the wet nurse.

In her desire to create an unprecedented divine body, the wet nurse must take more time trying to integrate this new gene.

"Is this drinking poison to quench thirst or unwittingly achieving success?"
