Because it was newly built, the large room seemed somewhat empty, with only the most basic furniture.
Even if Wendy had the time, Elise probably wouldn't waste it decorating the room.
Just like last time, Wendy casually tore off her arm. Not a drop of blood fell from the severed arm. After the arm was torn open, countless granulation tissues could be seen growing wildly. In no time, a flawless white arm was reconstructed.
To be honest, Elise was somewhat envious of the insectoids' regenerative abilities.
Then she saw Wendy take a small vial of blood out of her spatial ring.
Upon seeing this, Elise couldn't help but ask, "Is this my blood?"
"Yes, it's what was left over from when I made the clone last time."
Elise never expected that Wendy would collect her blood.
Wendy then began using her own flesh and blood, along with Elise's blood, to create a clone. Soon, a petite Elise appeared in the room.
Describing her as petite might not be entirely accurate; she'd be more like a loli version of Elise.
“Because you don’t have enough blood, this is all you can do.” After saying that, Wendy silently looked at Elise.
"I suddenly remembered that I have something to take care of over there..."
Before Elise could finish speaking, Wendy forcibly transferred her consciousness into this clone.
Elise looked down at her now motionless body, then looked up at Wendy, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, before finally giving up the struggle.
"Give me clothes."
Wendy took out a set of her own clothes, but after seeing Elise's current figure, she silently put them back, said "Wait for me" and then disappeared from the room.
Although it was an empty room, Elise wasn't used to being naked, so she walked to the bedside, grabbed Wendy's blanket, wrapped it around herself, and waited quietly.
Not long after, Wendy returned to the room, and then Elise saw her take out one cute little dress after another from her spatial ring.
If she hadn't gone to buy these clothes on short notice, Elise would have even suspected that Wendy had deliberately made herself look like this.
A soft sigh escaped her lips. Elise quickly changed her clothes and then stretched her body.
She didn't feel any stagnation. Although her strength had been raised to the fifth rank, she lacked the various methods of her original body. However, her charm seemed to still be usable.
A strange heart-shaped mark appeared in Elise's eyes, then disappeared.
"Never mind, it's just a temporary use anyway, it doesn't matter." Elise muttered in her childish voice, then looked up at Wendy and said, "Come on, take me on a tour and tell me about this place."
"Ah."
Wendy took Elizabeth's small hand and slowly left the room. While showing Elizabeth around the accommodations, she also told her about the situation there.
"Just as you said, the land and water here are polluted, which is not only unsuitable for crops to grow, but also affects the health of local residents. I am looking for the source of the pollution."
“I know where the source of the pollution is. Don’t worry, we’ll deal with the pollution problem once our church’s position here is consolidated. We can also create some momentum to solidify the position of the Earth Goddess Church.” Elise spoke of her schemes in a childish voice, which Wendy found very endearing.
So cute that I want to hold them in my arms and cherish them.
Wendy is the kind of person who does whatever comes to mind; when she thought Elise was cute, she had already taken her into her arms.
"How dare you! How dare you!" Elise, whose legs were dangling in the air after being lifted up by Wendy, struggled in vain for a few moments, her fair cheeks flushing with a lovely blush of shame.
"I'm sorry." Wendy said sorry, but she didn't let go of his hand.
Finding her struggles futile, Elise used the body's abilities, instantly transforming into countless butterflies that scattered and fluttered about. However, Wendy forcibly gathered them together again in the next moment, still holding her tightly in her arms.
As expected, using the insectoid abilities on Wendy was ineffective.
Wendy held Elise in her arms and rubbed against her for a while before reluctantly putting her down again.
Elise straightened her clothes, which were slightly disheveled from the struggle, and then muttered, "Why do you seem to have more emotions than before?"
"Because I haven't seen you for several days."
"I'll forgive you this time, but if you pick me up again next time..." Elise waved her little fist, trying to show her intimidation, but all she showed was cuteness.
Who told her that she has absolutely nothing to do with authority now?
Getting back to the main point, Wendy asked curiously, "What's the source of the pollution?"
"The remains of a certain god were originally sealed deep underground, but an earthquake occurred here some time ago, which damaged the seal and caused this land to be contaminated."
"If the contamination was caused by the remains of a god, it shouldn't be this severe, right?"
"It's just minor damage; you're perfectly capable of handling the situation."
"If we ignore it, the seal will probably get damaged more and more."
"Yes, but it will be very slow. We can fix it before it becomes unmanageable."
"Then... is it possible to break the seal?"
Hearing Wendy's words, Elise was taken aback: "You want to destroy this place?"
"No, I want the body parts of a god."
As if she had thought of something, Elise tentatively asked, "Are you planning to draw power from the corpse pieces?"
"Yes." Wendy nodded without hesitation.
“In that case, we need to find a way to move the body parts out, otherwise most of the people here will die if the seal is broken here.” Elise pondered for a while, then said to Wendy with a serious expression, “I have a way to move them and break the seal, but even if it’s just a body part, it is still a body part of a god, and the power in it is not so easy to absorb.”
"I have a way to absorb it."
"I'm starting to suspect you're the Queen of Insects. It feels like only a Queen of Insects could do something like this, right?"
"No, I am not Him. If I were Him, you would have turned into an insect long ago."
“That’s true.” Elise nodded. “It will take some time to prepare for moving the body parts. You should continue spreading the faith as planned.”
"it is good."
Volume 1: Chapter 171 The Blessing's Further Advancement and Mutation
"Alright, there's nothing more for me here, so I'll head back now."
Back in the church, Elise glanced at the unfinished statue, then spoke to Wendy. (Sigh)
Actually, it's still early, and she could stay here longer, but she's not used to this small body, and Wendy keeps holding her and rubbing against her. (Seven)
Countless people saw them along the way. 6
Luckily, none of these people recognized me. If someone who knew me had seen me...
Elise, for one, wouldn't even dare to consider it.
Wendy reached out and gently tugged at Elise's sleeve: "Stay with me a little longer."
Seeing Wendy's reluctance to leave, and glancing at the bustling church, Elise, considering Wendy's genuine efforts to spread faith, ultimately softened and allowed her to stay an extra hour.
As darkness fell, Elise officially prepared to leave.
Before leaving, however, Elise asked curiously, "What are you going to do with this clone?"
"Just let her stay with you, so you can use her next time you come."
"After all, there's only so much material. If you want to make the clone exactly like the original, you'll need to provide more blood."
"I'll come over when I've finished what I'm doing."
"Ah."
Elise then returned her consciousness to her body through the mental network constructed by the insect nest.
After Elise returned to her hometown, Wendy also turned her attention to the unfinished statue. Countless flying insects scattered across the statue, revealing its exquisite carvings.
If Elise were still here, she would find that the statue of the Earth Goddess looks very similar to her.
……
The moment Iris opened her eyes after her consciousness returned to her body, she saw the little maid lying expectantly by the bedside, looking hesitant.
Seeing Elise wake up, the little maid was startled, her eyes filled with barely concealed panic: "Miss, you're back."
"Hmm, why are you so nervous as soon as I get back? Did you secretly do something to my body while I was away?" Elise narrowed her eyes.
"Actually, I didn't do anything. I just gently poked Miss's cheek, that's all." The maid gently poked her two index fingers together, quietly confessing her crime.
He can deceive anyone, but he will never deceive a lady.
Seeing the maid's nervous look, Elise chuckled softly, then reached out and hugged the maid, ruffling her hair: "Alright, even if you couldn't hold back, I'll forgive you, since you've always been the one by my side."
Hearing her mistress's words, the little maid was slightly stunned, then snuggled against Iris in a coquettish manner.
After the maid was satisfied, Elise got out of bed, stretched her body, and asked, "Nothing happened while I was gone, right?"
"No."
"That's good. It's getting late. Go and have someone prepare dinner."
"Yes."
The little maid left the room with light steps, and Elise followed slowly behind her. As soon as they stepped out of the room, they saw Wendy's clone.
"Elise, it's been a long time."
Looking at Wendy's calm expression, Elise couldn't help but twitch her lips. She had acted as if she was reluctant to leave when she left, but she didn't expect that as soon as she returned, Wendy would project her consciousness into her clone.
"Is everything settled over there?"
"It's already dark, and I've sent people to rest." The people had gone to rest, but the insects were still tirelessly expanding their nest.
"Since you're here, let's grab something to eat together."
"it is good."
Wendy followed behind Elise so she could clearly smell Elise's scent, but this time she didn't smell any signs of heat.
Shortly after Elise left the room, Lumia and Nora returned.
Although the two looked no different from when they left, a closer look would reveal that they both appeared extremely tired.
"You guys are back pretty early, so who really won?"
“Without using my trump cards, I’m no match for her,” Rumia said nonchalantly, as she wasn’t particularly attached to winning or losing.
"Although we won, it was a crushing defeat. The Holy Maiden of the Eternal Church is still very powerful," Nora said, still somewhat unsatisfied.
They only fought once, and afterwards she used her special ability to master all martial arts to learn the fighting techniques of the original owner of the God-Slaying Spear, who was the Eternal God.
With the help of the person inside her body, she actually learned some things.
"By the way, we're setting off tomorrow to find that sixth-tier agent. Shouldn't we prepare some things in advance?"
"this is for you."
Elise took a small bag out of her spatial ring and handed it to Nora.
Nora took the bag, weighed it in her hand, and then asked curiously, "What's inside?"
"High-end spices".
"what?"
"Just keep this safe, I doubt you'll ever need it."
Although she didn't know why Elise gave her this, Nora would obediently do as she was told since Elise had already said so.
……
night.
Elise lay quietly on the bed, and at that moment she could clearly feel a surge of faith power flowing into the blessing of the Earth Goddess.
The Blessing skill, which was recently upgraded, is now undergoing another upgrade.
Standing on the ground greatly increases one's attributes, increases the proportion of damage shared, increases the range of perception, and can even use the power of the earth to summon puppets.
The speed of this advancement is simply too fast, almost unbelievable.
She had tried to follow the Earth Goddess's faith before, but despite her hard work in spreading the faith, she still couldn't advance.
What exactly is going on?
As Elise pondered, she vaguely heard a series of sounds, as if many devout believers were praying to her.
At this moment, Elise only needs to focus her consciousness on one sound to clearly hear the content of the prayer, and she can even see the scene of believers praying.
"Merciful Earth Goddess, my child has had a high fever for several days. I beg you to save her."
"The seeds I planted a few days ago still haven't sprouted. What should I do?"
