A chat group where you switch bodies with Alicia at the start?

As he spoke, MEI pointed to the mobile terminal in his hand, "The Fourth Divine Key has been launched into space. Through the modifications made by Velvi, we are able to use this satellite to observe the situation around the world."

"Currently, due to the outbreak of the Fourth Great Collapse, the Fire Moth has already intervened in the operation."

"But actually, the biggest problem isn't New Zealand experiencing a major collapse—"

Her slender index finger slowly moved towards the island of Tonga, which is neither too far nor too close to New Zealand, and then she said rather seriously:

“With Tonga as the center, the ocean currents and air currents in the Pacific Ocean are changing. If this situation continues to develop, according to Dr. Relia’s prediction, the Far East, the west coast of North America, and even the entire Southeast Asia will suffer heavy losses. If it is allowed to develop, the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean, and the whole world will be affected.”

“We must stop the Fourth Herrscher, Alicia.”

"what?"

The fat woman was stunned when she heard this, and pointed to herself with an incredulous look on her face.

But the next moment, she instantly realized what was happening, her cheeks puffed up at a visible speed, and she glared fiercely at Jiang Qiao, as if she was about to cry.

Bad Jiang Qiao!

"Correction, it should be this Alicia."

Sensing something amiss, Dr. MEI quite naturally proceeded to deliver further blows to the fat lady.

"There's only one Alicia! I am the one!"

As the fat lady spoke, she kept staring at Wendy, her eyes seeming to say: You're not allowed to speak!

Impersonating Alicia under the name of Alicia is one thing, but using another girl's body and still wanting to call herself Alicia? I, Alicia, will never allow that!

"...You can call me Jiang Qiao now, but of course—this body should be called Wendy more appropriately."

"Then Wendy will do."

Although Dr. MEI still preferred the name 'Alicia', she chose the latter since a change was necessary.

Like Jiang, she felt that "Wendy" was a more suitable name for the person in front of her.

However, from Wendy's words, MEI has further guesses about some of the previously confusing issues.

"Now that you're here, you should be able to stop this disaster, right? Love... Wendy."

The intellectual-looking bespectacled girl stared intently at Wendy. Although she was questioning, her words revealed a hint of certainty. The only problem was the discomfort caused by the change in address, leading to a habitual error in how she addressed her.

Ms. Fat expressed strong dissatisfaction with this!

"Ah."

The girl sighed and nodded.

He originally took this core to see if he could pull off a substitution trick and create another charade.

Unexpectedly, such a thing happened while I was away.

But it doesn't matter.

Even if he can't achieve what Changkong City did, he can still do it if it's just this storm that threatens the world!

After all, I am now also a Herrscher of Wind.

"But before that, I need to complete the transformation first."

Just like the relationship between the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Truth, the current [Wendy] is not a complete Herrscher of Wind, but merely a half-finished product that was forcibly awakened through the desire for gems.

As fellow Herrschers of the Wind, the Wendy from the previous civilization who was fed by cocoons was far stronger than the current Jiang Qiao.

"The Great Collapse?"

"Well, she just happened to have prepared everything for me, so I'll just tag along for this show."

Wendy nodded slightly, able to sense the abundant collapse energy emanating from the New Zealand region, where the fourth major collapse was currently taking place.

"In that case, why don't you go to Wellington with Alicia while you're at it?"

"What happened?"

The girl frowned, to which MEI explained:

"A Judgment-class Honkai Beast has appeared there. The Fire Moth has named it based on its ability form: Parfana. The Ninth Squad is currently heading there to subdue it."

"Isn't the Ninth Squad led by Hen? Sending him there is practically suicide."

Jiang Qiao had sparred with Hen and knew very well that although Hen was very strong among the warriors of the Fire Moth, he was still within the realm of mortals.

"Where are the missiles?"

"Currently, New Zealand and the surrounding area are experiencing extreme weather, coupled with the Great Collapse. None of the missiles in the Fire Moth can be used in such extreme weather conditions. Moreover, you know the effect of using conventional thermal weapons on a Judgment-class Honkai Beast."

Herrschers are alright, their bodies are extremely fragile, but the Judgment-level Honkai Beasts, due to the default rule that Honkai creatures have a very high reduction in resistance to conventional weapons, cannot cause much damage unless nuclear weapons are used.

As for the Honkai energy fission bomb, Moth Chaser has not yet developed this technology.

“Alice’s original plan was to go to Wellington to subdue the Honkai Beast. Since you need to use this Great Honkai, you might as well deal with that big guy while you’re at it. This will also reduce some of the organization’s personnel losses.”

"We are currently short-handed in managing the Moths of Fire."

As he spoke, MEI sounded somewhat helpless.

As mentioned before, the current Moth of Fire is not the special organization that maintains and makes decisions for all of humanity, but merely an early warning and aftermath response organization. It's fine for a single city, but for a country of this size, it's really a stretch to clear out high-risk targets while also considering the safety of its citizens.

"I see."

Wendy nodded and said goodbye to MEI, leading Alicia out of the air-raid shelter.

However, the direction they were heading was clearly wrong, prompting the latter to say:

"The car isn't going in this direction."

Due to the influence of the Wind Herald, New Zealand, currently experiencing extreme weather, is unable to fly and can only move quickly by car.

Alicia had considered calling upon the giant ray that Jiang Qiao had used for transportation, but it seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

Well, that's normal, after all, it was something that offended Jiang Qiao.

It's normal if you can't pronounce it yourself.

"That's too slow."

Upon hearing this, the fat lady thought that Mr. Jiang was going to take her there on a ray, but unexpectedly, the next moment, accompanied by a cry of "Ah—!", the girl with dyed hair spread her wings and picked her up around the waist.

Wendy exuded a faint, refreshing fragrance, like a delicate orchid in a secluded valley. Inhaling this soothing scent and feeling the warmth of their bodies pressed close together, Alicia's cheeks flushed visibly. She muttered in a slightly annoyed tone:

"What are you doing! You naughty Jiang Qiao!"

"Get ready, we're about to take off, it'll be a bit fast."

The girl with the highlights spoke in a slightly aloof tone, which made the fat woman's eyes flash with resentment and annoyance. So, is hugging Ellie really that unworthy of your attention? Ellie, I smell really good too!

But the next moment, she had no time to think about such nonsense.

As Alicia spread her emerald green wings and flapped them, a brief sonic boom rang in her ears.

Immediately afterwards, the scene before my eyes changed rapidly.

By enveloping the entire body in an ideal fluid, minimizing friction between the air and the body, the ultimate speed achieved is a far faster means of movement for the Herrscher of Wind than riding in other flying vehicles.

If it would take Alicia nearly a day to travel from the North American coast to New Zealand aboard the Primal Spirit, then for Wendy now, it would only take her a few hours.

The journey from the civil defense facilities in the Alps to Wellington will only take less time.

—Ten minutes is enough.

As the fluttering azure wings slowly came to a stop, the surrounding environment gradually froze.

"We've arrived?"

Releasing her arms from Wendy's neck, Alicia landed on the ground, feeling somewhat unsteady. The ground seemed unreal to her, but beyond that, she was mostly astonished by the speed.

"Ah."

After thinking for a moment, the girl with the dyed hair took back her words: "If you were a little lighter, it might be faster."

If I said it out loud, that fat lady would probably chase me down and beat me up!

"I always feel like you're thinking of something very rude."

Sensing Alicia's sudden sharp gaze, Wendy naturally offered a defense:

"No."

Is this a woman's intuition?

"Forget it, let's look for Hen and the others first. I wonder where they are now."

Alicia immediately intended to use her personal communication terminal to contact Hen, who was also in the area, but Wendy shook her head:

"No need, I've already found it."

"Huh?" The fat woman looked suspicious. "You didn't touch it at all, did you?"

"The wind told me."

The incredibly violent airflow, amplified by the authority of the Wind Herald and the effects of the Great Collapse, swept across the slender index finger, transforming into a gentle breeze that gradually subsided.

The girl spoke in a calm voice about the source of the news.
