Why? Just why?
Getting her own body back was supposed to be something that would make Elysia happy.
But right now, the chubby lady wasn't happy at all.
Some terrible truth had even made her think: Should we just switch back?
That truth was that—she seemed to actually be a useless person.
Her heart was pounding when she had lost her first kiss, and after getting her body back, Elysia originally wasn't holding on to that question that she was originally concerned about. After all, in her opinion, now that her body was back in her hands,
Anything that the fake Jiang Qiao could do with her body, she could definitely do, and even do it better, right?
After all, she was the original owner of the body [Elysia], the real Elysia!
But now, that confident idea seemed to have been completely defeated.
Not only couldn't she use even the slightest bit of what Jiang Qiao had done with her body,
Elysia could even feel that her original Honkai energy, and even her body, were a little awkward.
It was as if she was the imposter that had switched into this body.
—It was actually just a misplaced feeling due to using Jiang Qiao's body.
However, this idea wasn't entirely wrong.
[Elysia]'s body was indeed rejecting her, or, to be more accurate, the portion of the authority that belonged to the Herrscher of Origin was rejecting Elysia.
It was as if—although you are the original owner,
You don't accept me at all!
When Jiang Qiao, as the newcomer, came over, he instantly started to play around with the Origin's authority. His compatibility was one hundred percent right from the start.
As a result, the original owner was incompatible while the newcomer was super compatible.
The Origin's authority: Since that's the case, then don't blame me for turning my back on you!
If you don't like me here, then I'll go where I am liked!
All the authority that could follow Jiang Qiao had left, and the authority that originally belonged to Elysia also looked at Elysia with disapproval.
This had caused her physical body to start complaining and feeling awkward.
In other words, during the time that Jiang Qiao had been using Elysia's body, he had already molded [Elysia] into his own shape.
When Elysia came back, she naturally felt uncomfortable everywhere.
Of course, this wasn't a big problem. As long as she was willing to be the Herrscher of Origin, then the brothers would still be willing to follow the boss and return to Elysia's shape in the blink of an eye.
After all, Elysia was the chosen Herrscher by birth.
But before that, then don't blame the brothers for not cooperating!
The current chubby lady wasn't aware of this.
But if she really did know, she would probably cry on the spot.
—How did my body become someone else's after I just left for a day or two?
Jiang Qiao wasn't aware of the sins he had committed.
He was still examining the transparent crystal flower in his hand.
"It's indeed the power of Origin, but it seems a bit strange."
Jiang Qiao, who was murmuring words that Elysia couldn't understand, could clearly feel the differences in this power.
It seemed that he had two portions of Origin's power in his hand.
Jiang Qiao had originally thought that this was probably because of the difference between the power of Origin from the Previous Era and the Current Era.
But—
Actually, to be more accurate,
One of them was indeed from the Previous Era, the authority of Origin that had jumped over from Elysia.
But the other one definitely wasn't the power of Origin from the Current Era.
It was extremely immature and was located on a single point of the crystal flower's center.
—Two powers were present within the crystal flower, the crystal flower that was made of Elysia's authority and… the Origin's authority that belonged to Jiang Qiao himself.
If he wasn't mistaken.
This must be an added effect of his [Body Swap] ability.
After realizing the essence of it, Jiang Qiao instantly came to a conclusion.
—He seemed to be able to obtain a portion of the special abilities of the person he switched with through body swapping.
It wasn't like the authority re-splitting method that he had used on the Second Herrscher.
The [Body Swap] ability was a little more refined.
By swapping into another person's body, he could make that person's special abilities become "pregnant", and then produce a small copy of that ability.
When he switched back to his own body, the small copy would follow Jiang Qiao back.
When that little copy grew up, he would then obtain a similar ability, with a higher degree of freedom.
"So, this is my cheat."
A curve appeared on Jiang Qiao's lips after he vaguely understood this point.
His real cheat was this [Body Swap].
The chat group was just an accident.
However—
"This cheat is really a trap!"
Jiang Qiao couldn't help but laugh at himself after he understood this.
It sounded like a very powerful ability, right?
But if it was based on a situation like his with Elysia, where he could only switch back his body by kissing,
Then that meant—
If he didn't have the help of the chat group, then with the result of having bodies with Elysia who was 50,000 years in the past,
If he wanted to switch back, he would probably have to live as Elysia for 50,000 years to have a successful reunion with Elysia.
Wow, being a pink fatty for 50,000 years. That's just great~
—Jiang Qiao couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this solution.
Damn it, this cheat was simply a pitfall!
If it was in the hands of a player who didn't know anything about Honkai Impact, or someone who just skipped the entire story, then the best case scenario would be to have the same GG result as Elysia.
Since he was the one, there was a way to solve it—for example, by using Elysia's body to crush the entire Previous Era.
But even if that was the case, he would still have to wait more than 54,000 years to meet the Elysia of this era, who had swapped bodies with him!
Wow, you sure are something, you cat!
Jiang Qiao silently retracted his slander from earlier regarding the chat group.
Sorry, I misunderstood you, chat group.
The real useless one is actually the one inside me!
While Jiang Qiao was criticizing his own useless cheat in his mind, the chubby lady, who was a little withdrawn on the side, was confused. After a moment of hesitation, she tried to ask a question, not wanting to be embarrassed:
"What cheat are you talking about, Origin? Jiang Qiao… can you tell me, how exactly did you use my body?"
No, no, absolutely no!
How could a fairy lady be so useless that she would get destroyed by someone else while using her own body!
Unable to accept this possibility, Elysia could only place her hopes on Jiang Qiao, who had used her body to perform such abilities that she couldn't use, in hopes that he could teach her how to do it.
A cheat, Origin, could these be the methods of using the [Elysia] body?
The chubby lady speculated.
And Jiang Qiao, after being asked this question, looked at her with a strange gaze. He slowly revealed a mischievous smile:
"You, do you really want to understand how to use your own body?"
