Chapter 841: Side Story 4 – A Simple Mission: Finding the Missing Mother

imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

“Our mission? What’s that? Don’t bother me, my mission is to attack the secret realm raids. Hmph, don’t even think about dragging me out of my fortress.”

I felt rather conflicted inside about the “otaku girl” in front of me who adamantly refused to go outside.

With my understanding of “Karwency”, the fact that she was willing to stay home and not cause trouble was not only good for me, it was also good for the entire world. However, I really couldn’t help but comment on how the former Abyss Prince had become so much of a complete shut-in NEET otaku… Perhaps she had rebelled against the entire world back in the day because she had simply been too bored, and saving the world from her only required a game console and a room filled with otaku goods?

“Ahem, do you still remember the contract from when we were released from Hell? If you don’t complete our mission, you’ll be brought back to Hell to continue our jail sentence. Do you want to enjoy that again?”

My jail sentence in Hell wasn’t as severe as Karwency’s had been. Or, looking at things from a different angle, according to the divine laws of Hell, a person couldn’t be tried and punished for the same crime twice, so my crimes from Emperor Yongye’s days were cleared when Wumianzhe ascended to Godhood as the cruelest lawful punishment was typically nothing more than death.

Since it was nearly impossible to make a special law just for dealing with indestructible individuals, my former law expertise made me choose jail as the most severe punishment for such individuals, imprisoning them in Hell for countless years until they served their punishments. However, it was also due to this that Hell’s administrators cursed me for being crazy for wasting so many resources on long-term imprisonment of such individuals…

Still, I heard that Hell indeed started modifying its laws in order to prepare a special punishment for indestructible individuals who were impossible to send through the Cycle of Reincarnation. I heard that they would be imprisoned in underground dungeons to serve as demon kings for novice adventurers to practice against… This sounded rather fun, so maybe I should try it out sometime.

Ahem, getting back on the main topic, Karwecy likely would never agree to go outside unless there was major trouble that only we could resolve.

Correct, us. I wouldn’t be able to complete this mission on my own. Karwency’s punishment hadn’t ended yet when she was released. We would still be imprisoned in Hell even now if it wasn’t for the fact that we were necessary for this mission.

“Finding the missing mother. What a simple mission. Yep, it’s just that this mother has been missing for who knows how many millions of years, and that we must search for her throughout all the endless universes.”

After Eich became connected to alternate universes, many things changed, while many things also remained the same.

The Overwatch Alliance indeed changed many things. Its principles of protection and mutual assistance had good intentions. Eich progressed greatly from interacting and trading with the friendly civilizations in the Overwatch Alliance. However, while there were friendly neighbors in the endless universes and civilizations, there were also countless greedy wolves.“Let’s become Star Guardians first. There’s a test to become a Star Guardian taking place tomorrow. I’ve already signed you up, and it’s mandatory for you to attend. Otherwise, I’ll notify Ayer to take us both back to jail in Hell together.”

“Wait, I’m just an otaku guy… girl who stays at home all day playing games. You want me to join such an extremely difficult test? Are you really my older twin brother?”

“Haha, take a guess.”

Did she really think that I didn’t know?

I was still working hard to learn the knowledge and power from alternate universes. I hadn’t slacked off with my cultivation, either. New power systems and knowledge gave me even greater development paths for the future, and I would likely progress in my power level soon.

Everything stemmed from the soul, after all. Even after reincarnation, I was still Roland, and Karwency… was still Karwenz.

The current me had zero guarantee of being able to defeat this otaku girl in front of me. This bastard twin sister of mine, she did nothing but play games and sleep in every day, yet her combat strength exceeded mine. This was so outrageously unreasonable!

This was only my direct instinct, or maybe it was an invisible connection between twins, but I knew that my analysis of her combat strength was absolutely correct.

I didn’t know exactly what she had learned, or where she had learned it from. However, it was likely that she was learning the powers of alternate universes even quicker than I was. She had returned to peak power two years faster than I did.

If I didn’t find something for her to do, she would likely overturn the entire world again… If she got bored, she would definitely cause major trouble.

“Eh? I hadn’t saved my game yet!”magic

The lights in the room suddenly went off. Karwency was in the middle of a boss fight and was interrupted before she got a chance to save. Meanwhile, I nodded in great satisfaction.

“It’s finally time.”

“Tsk, trying this tactic on me? I can still play mobile games. Wait, how come my cell phone has no internet connection?”

Harloys had perfect timing with her electromagnetic ion pulse interference. As I had planned, I would have to cut off Karwency’s internet in addition to electricity in order to finally drag her out of the house.

“Let’s go, ‘dear sister’. This is the end of your life as a NEET otaku. A bright and beautiful tomorrow is waiting for us… I’ll pay for all of your ingame monthly expenses this month, and you can pick any two new games that come out next month. Don’t go overboard wanting anything more.”

“Brother, you really are my dear brother!”
