Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation

"This is what we should do!" I smiled, thinking the magic worked well, just as I hoped. Usually, changed memories mix with real ones, and people can't tell the difference.

"Huh? Where did Cyra go? When did she leave? Strange, I can't remember at all..."

But then, Chan Layne suddenly started thinking hard about this question he couldn't explain. My face turned dark right away!

Looks like magic for the mind is still too hard for me.

But it's okay, these small issues don't matter much! It's not a big deal if Chan Layne can't figure out why Cyra left. Also, with my guidance, he didn't get too suspicious. In the end, I managed to fix this dangerous situation caused by Raydwin using some unusual methods.

Of course, more importantly, now all the lies I told the H-country military leaders about Raydwin finally match up.

In the next day or two, the H-country military did various tests and training for Raydwin. Without Adrian's help later on, he could only use the little bit of Battle Qi he absorbed to grow stronger, so his progress was very slow.

But even with just this little bit of power, Raydwin already reached about level four, which was enough to deal with normal vampires! As for those special skills used for spying, he learned them very easily.

"We'll arrive at M-country's capital in about ten hours. We'll find a chance to contact you then!"

At the waiting area in Shine Metropolitan International Airport, Wayne Peng said goodbye to me, Adrian, and the others while carrying his suitcase. He then turned and walked into customs. Behind him were Raydwin, Chan Layne, and several other H-country military people who were sent together.

For such an important mission, they couldn't just send one person. To keep it secret, they pretended to be a business group going to M-country. Wayne Peng was obviously the leader, and Raydwin's job was a bodyguard.

"Actually, we don't need Raydwin. Just let me go with Wayne Peng. It's just about protecting the spies, right? I'm human too, so vampires usually won't notice me!"

Adrian sighed, seeing the clear footprint on Raydwin's backside from being kicked hard because he kept bothering Cyra until the last minute before leaving.

"It's because you're not from Earth! How could General Lee trust an outsider at such an important time that will decide Earth`s future? Also, he doesn't know how strong you are, so of course it's safer to send his own people!"

I told him matter-of-factly, my face turning a bit red. "Besides, to be honest, I'd be worried if you went alone to the other side of Earth. You've only been on Earth for a few days, and it's a different country too!"

"I see, so you don't want me to leave, that's why you didn't recommend me to General Lee?"

Seeing my expression, Adrian looked like he understood and asked me this question on purpose.

"No way, that's not it! Absolutely not! Besides, how could the H-country military allow an outsider from another world to join?"

Hmph, how could I fall for such a dangerous question? Of course I had to strongly deny it!

"Could it be that you're starting to feel threatened after seeing us from other worlds?"

But he acted like he didn't hear what I said at all and started analyzing. "But if that's the case, wouldn't it be safer to send me to M-country?"

"That's not it..."

I felt a bit desperate, feeling like he could see right through me. I could only weakly try to defend myself one last time.

Okay, I know he's doing this on purpose! Everyone knows about the mess in the base these past few days. I've been trying so hard to stop some bad versions of myself from taking advantage of the situation. It feels like Adrian has me all figured out now!

"..."

Looking at Cyra, she's been staring at the sky the whole time with a sour face.

But when we left the airport and got back to the base, we found that the ground of the base, which was fine before, was now full of holes everywhere. There were plants and broken tiles flying around.

Obviously, something big had happened here! We finally found General Lee and understood that the anger that had been building up for a long time finally exploded when we left...

"What? Feliciana from World 11 killed Feliciana from World 7!"

I couldn't believe my ears. I killed myself? What kind of crazy story is this?!

"That's right, many people saw her do it. They say World 7 Feliciana's body disappeared right after she died, which fits the description you gave about how angels die! As for the reason... well, it seems to be about love problems between the two worlds!"

General Lee rubbed his bald head, looking at the report from his staff. "I've gotten several similar complaints before, but at least people from other worlds were more controlled. But this Feliciana from World 11 has a really bad temper. When she got angry, she not only killed World 7 Feliciana, but also hurt several innocent people who tried to stop the fight. This includes Feliciana from World 5, Adrian from World 8, and others. Even some of our H-country soldiers who were keeping order in the base got hurt!"

This was the first time such a big fight happened. And because friends from two worlds were there helping their sides, the report says that World 7 Adrian and Cyra were also hurt by their opponents, but luckily their lives aren't in danger.

"What about World 11 Feliciana? Where is she now?"

Cyra finally came back to her senses after being shocked for a while and asked.

This Feliciana must have broken the base's rules by doing something so crazy, but she has eight wings like me, so it's hard to imagine how the base's military power could easily catch her.

"I guess she knew she made a big mistake, so after killing World 7 Feliciana, she tried to run away alone. But even so, our base's defense systems couldn't stop her! Just when it looked like she was going to get away, suddenly she seemed to be held back by some invisible force and fell straight down from the sky. She collapsed on the ground and couldn't move..."

A military officer who was there to help catch her described what happened to us in detail.

No one can explain what exactly happened at the end, not even World 11 Feliciana herself. She just kept shouting that someone used some sneaky, unknown magic to trick her.

"How is that possible?"

I was really surprised to hear such a strange story. I know my own strength very well. With eight wings, I can not only dodge gun and cannon attacks easily, but I'm also much stronger in many other ways. But now they're telling me that someone could use an invisible force to pull me down from the air, and I don't even know what happened or who did it?

In the end, the base's security team used extra measures to restrain World 11 Feliciana. They put several sets of handcuffs and leg irons on her and locked her in a special cell made for vampires.

Could it be her? Earth people definitely can't have such amazing powers. Thinking about it, probably only those two from World 14 in the whole base could do something like this.

"By the way, what about Reed from their world?"

Adrian from World 11 and Cyra from World 11 were deeply involved in this incident. Even though they tried to stop the fight, they still got the same punishment. All other people involved were locked up in different cells. But my Adrian clearly remembered that Reed from World 11 also came to visit, but he wasn't sure if Reed got in trouble because of this.

"Reed from World 11 said she had nothing to do with this. She's not very close with the others from her world, they're just normal companions. Considering that this was true based on what happened, and Reed from World 11 didn't even know about it beforehand, we didn't do anything to her..."

General Lee smiled bitterly as he answered. It's clear that Reed from World 11 wanted to use this chance to separate herself from the others. This World 11 is really strange.

Actually, even though they caught the killer, dealing with what happens next is very difficult for the H-country military. Because World 7 Feliciana who died and World 11 Feliciana who killed her are not H-country people, not Earth people, and strictly speaking, not even human. So even though World 11 Feliciana is confirmed as the killer, the H-country government can't use H-country laws to punish her!

We can say that because of all these parallel worlds showing up, the things happening in this base now are basically outside of all laws. Although fewer new worlds have been coming lately, the total number is almost 30 now!

The only thing the H-country military can do now is to lock up the troublemakers and limit what they can do, while also making the rules stricter to try and stop more problems like this from happening. Once they can finally solve the problem with the space tunnels, I believe the first thing General Lee will do is find a chance to send all these troublemakers back to their own worlds!
