As their foreheads touched, Viki unleashed her most powerful mental magic—
[Skill Name: Brainwashing]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Cost: 500 Mana Points]
[Learning Requirements: Intelligence 40, Spirit 30]
[Attribute Bonuses: Intelligence A, Spirit B]
[Description: Unleashes a massive burst of mental energy, invading and destroying the target’s consciousness, causing them to lose their sense of self and allowing their mind to be freely rewritten.]
[Note: “Brainwashing to the extreme can be considered a form of pure love.” —A quote from a certain Grand Mental Mage with a vast harem. Five years later, she was gravely injured in an accident, her mana weakened, and her harem, regaining clarity, took revenge, leaving her body in pieces.]
A boundless wave of mental energy surged from Viki’s gaze, flooding into Bai Yue Ling’s mind like a raging tide, relentlessly battering and shredding her sense of self.
Bai Yue Ling’s eyes widened, her mind blank, her gaze vacant. Her body trembled uncontrollably, as if she had completely lost herself.
Viki sneered, her hands gripping Bai Yue Ling’s delicate, snow-white neck. Her mental energy surged violently, attacking the depths of Bai Yue Ling’s consciousness.
“Submit…” Viki’s voice was cold and emotionless, flattening Bai Yue Ling’s will. “From now on, you are my most loyal servant, the Third Princess’s slave.”
“I am… your… slave…” Bai Yue Ling murmured, lost in a trance.
“Your only purpose is to carry out my will. You will offer everything without reservation.” As Viki spoke, grand palaces rose in Bai Yue Ling’s mind—Viki’s vision of a queen’s dominion.
“I will… offer everything…” Bai Yue Ling’s tongue peeked out, her voice a soft whisper.
“Now, kneel before me.”
Viki’s voice carried a hint of excitement, sensing victory within reach.
“Assume the dogez posture, swear loyalty to this princess, and reveal all your secrets.”
Swear loyalty to Her Highness…
Bai Yue Ling gazed blankly at Viki, her body leaning forward, hands positioned as if about to perform the submissive dogez.
But then—
“In your dreams~”
Bai Yue Ling flashed a mocking grin, clenched her fist, and swung it at Viki’s unsuspecting face—
Thud!
Viki was sent flying, her head slamming against the wall, severing the mental connection.
“Guh—!”
Viki cried out in pain as blood poured from her nose and ears.
The backlash from the failed brainwashing tore through her soul, her body trembling from the excruciating pain.
She gritted her teeth, staring at Bai Yue Ling in utter shock.
In the split second before the connection broke, she glimpsed Bai Yue Ling’s true consciousness—a vast ocean of mental energy, endlessly sustaining her mind and soul, effortlessly repelling Viki’s intrusion.
Compared to Bai Yue Ling, Viki’s mental power was a mere pond. What she had seen was only a fraction of Bai Yue Ling’s mind, deliberately shown to her.
The gap was so vast that Viki never had a chance to succeed.
“Ha… hah… who are you?” Viki glared at Bai Yue Ling. “This terrifying mental strength—what have you been through? Are you really just an Otherworld Traveler?”
Bai Yue Ling shrugged. “I told you, I’m just an Otherworld Traveler acting on my whims. My hobby is big sisters, and my least favorite thing is big sisters who cause me trouble… like you.”
Viki’s mind grew increasingly chaotic as the backlash ravaged her consciousness, but she forced out, “Then your talk of cooperation…”
“Was genuine,” Bai Yue Ling said with a sly grin. “But you, big sister, weren’t sincere at all. You wanted to brainwash me into your slave before accepting my partnership. That’s pretty disgusting~”
“You little brat…” Viki gritted her teeth, wanting to attack but too weak to move.
“Now that I think about it, Shi Qianla might be right,” Bai Yue Ling said, eyeing Viki closely. “What did affect you to twist your personality like this? I’m really curious.”
Viki fell silent, refusing to respond.
With Viki’s mind weakened, she was ripe for Dark Fall, but Bai Yue Ling had just used it on Shi Qianla, and her health and mana were still depleted.
[System: Due to unknown reasons, spatial inventory cannot be used.]
Unable to access her spatial inventory, Bai Yue Ling couldn’t retrieve potions to restore her health or mana, rendering Dark Fall unusable.
“Fine, Your Highness. Let’s go our separate ways. Don’t come looking for trouble again.”
Bai Yue Ling turned toward the door, her round hips swaying under the thin cloth wraps.
She pushed the door open, heading to retrieve her equipment.
But a petite figure blocked her path.
A small girl with twin blonde drills, yellow cat ears, and a wooden gavel stood before her, coldly sizing up the scantily clad, silver-haired, curvy girl.
“You’re the Priest Hero?” Her voice was cute yet stern.
[Name: Taoxia]
[Race: Beastman (Cat)]
[Level: 65]
[Class: Grand Archbishop of Judgment]
[Description: One of the ten Grand Archbishops of the Judgment Church, also a judge in the Judgment Tribunal. She wields a wooden gavel and is known for her decisive, uncompromising stance against evil, earning both reverence and fear from followers.]
[Note: Despite her appearance as a blonde, twin-drill, cat-eared loli, Taoxia is a true, dignified Grand Archbishop. Rumors claim a follower once saw her blush and skip a beat when offered a lollipop while strolling. Since then, lollipops mysteriously appear at her doorstep, their fate unknown.]
Bai Yue Ling felt an invisible pressure envelop her.
Though the loli only reached her chest, it felt like she was the one looking down.
Her lips parted, and she couldn’t help but blurt out the truth: “Yes.”
“Good.”
Taoxia rummaged in her black trench coat, her yellow cat tail swaying between her legs.
“I am Taoxia, Grand Archbishop of the Judgment Church.” She pulled out a pair of shackles and snapped them onto Bai Yue Ling’s wrists with an expressionless face. “Criminal Priest Hero, you’re under arrest.”
