Chapter 346-2: Firefly Kim? (2)
[To actively peel you out of the web of consciousness means you no longer belong to either the Primordial Firefly or the Desire Wet Nurse.]
[If a Firefly Favored Servant no longer belongs to the Primordial Firefly, how could the Primordial Firefly possibly agree?]
[You cannot agree to the first method, and the Primordial Firefly cannot agree to the second method, so it said that neither method is feasible…]
After listening to Flanda’s explanation, Lin Xun fell silent.
Just as Flanda said, both methods were indeed infeasible.
It was impossible for him to give up control of his Shells. Who knew whether that control would shift from temporary to permanent.
Entrusting all his assets to a god he had only seen once, he was not foolish to that extent.
Like Flanda itself, after becoming an Oathbreaker and gaining the same unique ability as him, it probably also did not want to experience that feeling of being toyed with in someone else’s palm ever again.
The two of them shared the same feelings, so Flanda knew he would not agree to the first method.
As for the second method, Lin Xun put himself in the Primordial Firefly’s position.A foreigner who did not belong to this world suddenly appeared, giving the originally fated battle a sliver of possibility to change.
After successfully winning over the foreigner, the foreigner then wanted to establish his own camp. From then on, it would be unclear whom he would help.
If he were the Primordial Firefly, he would not agree to the second method either.
[…]
[Just as you and Flanda look at each other in speechless silence, it suddenly freezes.]
[You see the elevator behind you start up again, and a figure you never expected appears.]
[Aberrant Missionary Kim walks out of the elevator and approaches you and Flanda.]
[It slowly opens its mouth. You once again hear that familiar voice, the voice that bestowed upon you a sacred mission…]
[It will peel you out of the web of consciousness. Not only you, even Flanda will leave the web of consciousness together.]
[From this moment on, the owner of this body, Kim, will be the connection between you and It.]
[As Kim speaks, it raises a hand and points at Flanda. Countless Firefly motes of faint light scatter from its fingertips, drifting and merging into Flanda’s body.]
[The young girl’s deformed, gigantic lower half violently contracts and writhes. Thick pipes detach from her body…]
[That ugly body like an ant queen keeps shrinking and changing. In the blink of an eye, Flanda returns to the form of a human girl.]
[Kim continues, saying that Flanda will help you wholeheartedly, and you…]
[Do not forget the original mission: exterminate the Despicable One, exterminate every heretic you see!]
[After speaking, Kim collapses limply to the ground and falls unconscious.]
[You and Flanda stare at each other, looking at the unconscious Kim, and for a moment you do not quite react.]
[Only after a long while does Flanda come back to herself. With a complicated expression, she looks at her bare body, the girl’s body that has returned to human form.]
[She touches her smooth, slender thighs and cannot help but let two lines of tears fall.]
[After Flanda calms her surging emotions, she opens her arms toward you in a hugging gesture and slowly says, she thanks the great Primordial Firefly for granting grace. It has agreed to let you leave the web of consciousness. Not only you, even her, Flanda, no longer belongs to the Primordial Firefly.]
[Will you step forward to embrace Flanda and once again feel the Hive Consciousness?]
Lin Xun froze for a moment, then reacted at lightning speed and pressed ‘Yes’ without hesitation.
Although he did not know why the Primordial Firefly was willing to let him go, the current situation was exactly what he wanted.
[You walk forward slowly. Flanda opens her arms and pulls you into her embrace…]
[Within Flanda’s full, soft embrace, you once again see that massive web of consciousness that encompasses all things in the world…]
[At the very top of the grid, black and white consciousness connect to countless lifeforms, assimilating the hues of consciousness of various lives, devouring and encroaching upon each other.]
[Flanda’s vast consciousness, like yours, drifts between black and white. It actively coils around you, making you instantly sense the structure of the entire web of consciousness.]
[Suddenly, the web of consciousness grid that you and Flanda are within shatters apart, peeling away from the entire web of consciousness and becoming an independent existence.]
[This small patch of the web of consciousness is neither black nor white, presenting a colorless state. Only you and Flanda exist within the web of consciousness.]
[After you leave the web of consciousness, Flanda takes a deep breath and pulls you back to reality…]
[With a sense of loss, it says that from now on, you and her belong to neither the Primordial Firefly nor the Desire Wet Nurse, and are independent, free existences…]
[You and her are the rulers of this patch of the web of consciousness. If you can pull masterless consciousness into the web of consciousness, you will be able to wield the Hive Consciousness’s true power…]
[Flanda has only spoken halfway when she sees the Kim behind you rubbing its eyes and getting up.]
[Missionary Kim stares blankly at you and Flanda hugging intimately, whispering into each other’s ears, and says in disbelief that it must be dreaming. Yes, it must be dreaming.]
[Kim fiercely punches its own forehead and finally realizes it is not dreaming. The girl it has been searching for is standing alive right in front of it.]
[It is just that the scene is different from what it imagined. It is not that it crossed countless hardships to find the girl, but that you…]
[Kim goes rigid all over, covers the mask on its face, and turns around to walk back toward the elevator without looking back.]
[As it walks, it mutters to itself that it is going to the Sacred Nest Center to fight the Desire Wet Nurse, and that is better than staying here and embarrassing himself…]
Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth, his face full of black lines.
He quickly stopped Kim from committing suicide. Only after a long explanation did he finally make Kim believe he was not some blond homewrecker.
The pure-love warrior Kim finally regained his vitality.
The two plot characters Lin Xun had thought would never meet in their lifetimes finally met.
But Kim did not confess deeply like Lin Xun had imagined, instead it stood awkwardly at the side, hands and feet at a loss.
As for Flanda, she had no such feelings toward Kim at all. Her original intention in rescuing Kim from the ancient nest was only to stop the Desire Wet Nurse.
Now that they had met again, it was merely reminiscing like old friends, leaving Kim with nowhere to speak even if it wanted to.
Lin Xun spread his hands. It seemed Kim still had a long road ahead before it could get what it wanted.
[…]
[Kim scratches his head and says in disbelief: you mean that just now, the supreme Primordial Firefly consciousness descended into his body?]
[No wonder he closed his eyes and opened them and arrived here… and also, his body seems a little different.]
[You ask Kim whether it feels unwell. Kim shakes its head and says that the Primordial Firefly seems to have left something in its body. It does not know what it is exactly. But it can feel that it is stronger than before…]
Lin Xun understood. After he left the web of consciousness, the Primordial Firefly and the Desire Wet Nurse could no longer watch him.
Kim was the Primordial Firefly’s eyes. The Primordial Firefly definitely would not let its eyes go blind so easily. It might have bestowed some powerful ability upon Kim.
And after Flanda left the web of consciousness and blocked the Desire Wet Nurse’s gaze, returning to human form meant it could leave its cage and become another ally to assist him.
Gaining two powerful allied figures at once would undoubtedly greatly raise the success rate of his follow-up plan.
“Then next, we head to Factor Cloning Laboratory – Resource Repository No. 16!”
