After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 197

197~ Spare Bodies!?~

"Um, Mo Mo, perhaps there are some things Mo Mo could have known about long ago, but I feel it's not yet time."

"What things?"

Originally it would have been fine not to mention it, but now that she had, it piqued her curiosity.

"Mm, this should be told to Mo Mo later. Knowing it now might be a bad thing for Mo Mo."

"Then if you didn't plan to tell me from the start, don't whet my appetite!"

The little Princess habitually clenched her fist, preparing to give Xuan's little head a bonk. But she seemed to forget whose home turf this was.

"Ah!"

The little Princess clutched her own head, while the little loli Xuan gently wiped her fist.

"Casually getting handsy with an elder is very rude behavior. Doesn't Mo Mo know that!?"

"Tch... Who's the elder here?"

Her usual behavior was childish to death. Every day it was either hugs or kisses, exactly like a little loli. Who was calling whom childish?

"Why do I feel like Mo Mo is thinking something bad?"

"I'm not."

The little Princess guiltily averted her gaze, but Xuan didn't notice anything unusual and thought the little Princess was just surveying the surroundings.

That's right, the place she summoned the little Princess to this time wasn't inside the church's great hall, but another room. The coffins here contained many bodies, one hundred percent perfectly replicating the little Princess's measurements! When one wore out, she could directly swap for another! (Not really)

Ahem, using them for that kind of thing was of course impossible. Because her body was identical to the little Princess's, apart from the interior, there were no other differences to pick out. So these bodies were actually prepared for herself, while the little Princess's original body was more like a defective product among them.

But that was the most natural one. What differed from these replicas was that the little Princess possessed her own soul, rather than being replicas she created to prevent her soul from being exposed if her physical body was destroyed.

Although these replicas were identical to normal people in every structure, at most having extremely resilient physical bodies, they had no souls and could only move if she personally controlled them.

The little Princess shared the same source as her. Souls couldn't lie, so she felt she and the little Princess were like sisters, as if they had blood relations. But one was born super early, born in the Age of Gods, while the other was born long after most deities fell with only a few remaining, and almost all of them were in a state of slumber.

She didn't know what the reason was, but she could confirm that her own memories weren't complete either. During her slumber, she seemed to have forgotten many things, including completely forgetting about that very long period after her birth.

"If you're going to slumber, can I still come in later?"

"Come in here?"

The little Princess nodded.

Being able to come in and stay by herself for a while when feeling irritated was pretty nice. It was just that the time here seemed a bit strange.

"Of course you can!"

After all, their soul resonance was extremely strong. Theoretically speaking, freely entering and leaving the Divine Realm should be no problem. But only the soul could enter. The body still had to remain in the real world.

"How about this, I'll give Mo Mo some permissions. As long as Mo Mo wants to come in, just recite it silently in your heart!"

She just needed to give the little Princess some basic permissions to freely enter and leave her Divine Realm.

"However, after having permissions, you can't mess around! First of all, you can't walk outside the scope of this church. It's best not to go out the main door. This point is extremely important. Mo Mo must remember it!"

"Mm mm, but why?"

"Because my Divine Realm becomes somewhat chaotic during my slumber. Only this church is an absolutely safe place for Mo Mo inside the Divine Realm. Outside the church is full of dangers everywhere."

Hearing this, the little Princess nodded, indicating she understood.

She didn't know what kind of dangers Xuan meant, but still planned to obediently listen to Xuan's words and not casually step out of this church's door.

After looking around this room, she finally focused her gaze on the two rows of neatly arranged coffins on both sides.

Calling them coffins might not be accurate. Perhaps they just happened to be rather similar to coffins? However, their appearance was very much like the one Xuan usually lay in.

Maybe there was another Xuan inside?

"What's inside these coffins... cough, these big wooden boxes?"

"Nothing, just... Mo Mo, stop right now!!!"

Xuan shouted loudly, but couldn't stop the little Princess before she opened the coffin.

As the little Princess flung open the coffin lid, the little Princess saw a body that was identical to her, or rather, identical to both her and Xuan.

"Uh... what is this?"

It couldn't be a silicone dummy that Xuan made because she couldn't endure loneliness, could it!?

Reaching out to pinch the little loli lying in the coffin who looked exactly like her, she discovered it was just like a real person, even having breathing!!!

"You don't have... some strange collecting fetish, do you?"

"How could I possibly have such weird habits!? What exactly do you think of me, Mo Mo!?"

Xuan snatched up the body from the coffin and held it in her arms as she asked.

"It's fine. Even if you have some strange little fetish, I can understand and be tolerant."

As she spoke, the little Princess unconsciously took a step back.

"Mo Mo!!!"

......

......

"Huff... huff..."

Several identical bodies lay scattered on the floor, among them two were positioned one on top and one below. The one on top pressed down on the one below with a fierce expression, while the one below was softly panting.

"Do you know you were wrong!?"

"Alright, alright, I was wrong, I was wrong."

The little Princess obediently raised her hands in surrender. Only then did Xuan let her go and stand up from on top of her.

After a round of explanations from the little loli Xuan, she also learned that these bodies were spare bodies created using Divine Power, usable after Xuan's own body was destroyed.

"Can I take one?"

"What does Mo Mo want to take one for?"

"Of course to replace my previous weak body!"

Since they were bodies created using Divine Power, their bodily functions couldn't possibly be poor, right?

"No! Mo Mo can't withstand that ordeal. Forcibly changing will kill Mo Mo."

Immediately after, her fantasy was shattered by the little loli Xuan.

Forcibly changing bodies would kill her?

Alright, she didn't understand these things either. Anyway, Xuan wouldn't harm her. Listening to Xuan was the right choice.

"Mo Mo's soul is still very fragile, not enough to support entering a new body. If the soul dissipates, then Mo Mo will become like these bodies lying on the ground, without any consciousness. Mo Mo doesn't want to become like that, right?"

The little Princess looked at the several bodies on the ground that looked exactly like her and fell into contemplation.

Soul dissipation, wasn't that no different from brain death?
