Chapter 246: Chapter 212: Switch, White Queen!

“It might be just the three of us,”

Ash cocked his head to the side. “Regardless, in this Void Realm, full of hidden dangers and opportunities, it’s better to have more teammates you can trust and rely on.”

“I don’t trust her—”

“You didn’t trust me in the beginning either.”

“How can you compare her to yourself?”

Ash looked at her in surprise. Sonia, however, turned her head towards Diya, muttered a few words, and then sighed, “I understand. Indeed, the intensity of the battles in the Time Continent is far beyond the Sea of Knowledge. Two people can no longer guarantee absolute safety, three people is more suitable…”

The red-haired Sword Maiden glanced at Ash and poked his chest with her finger, speaking resentfully, “But don’t you forget your promise, as long as I am stronger than her—”

“Then you will be the most important operator in my eyes!” Ash didn’t hesitate with his strength-based ideology.

“Hmph.” Sonia still seemed somewhat sullen, but when she turned to Diya, her face instantly beamed with a radiant, professional smile. “Hello.”

Ash also introduced them, “Witch, this is the Sword Maiden, who has been my teammate all along. Sword Maiden, she is the new team member, Witch. From now on, we are companions in both joy and adversity, so we must get along well.”

While Ash and Sonia were whispering to each other, Diya used this time to assess her situation.

This was no dream, no illusion. She had indeed entered the Void Realm without opening the Gate of Truth, brought here by the Observer’s mysterious abilities, and appeared in the same place as the Observer.

Unlike Sonia, the domestic cat, Diya was a true wildcat Mage, having navigated the Sea of Knowledge alone for thousands of miles. She had been bitten by a Fish Dragon, drowned by the sea, and endured the hardships of a lone wolf, which forged her resilient mind.

Thus, she almost instantly realized how valuable the ability to form a team was—the Observer had nearly overturned the traditional cultivation rules of the Mage world, reducing the difficulty of Void Realm Exploration from an Epic tale to the level of a Fairy Tale (she soon learned the difficulty could be reduced even further).

If there was a chance for an exchange, Diya believed many Legendary Mages would be willing to give all their Magic Power, even their allegiance to the Realm Faction, to gain the ability to form a team in the Void Realm.

No wonder the Observer always cloaked his true identity in fog and used a codename. He must have known the value of this ability and feared being located by the Prophetic Faction!

Diya, who had initially harbored doubts and hostility towards the Observer, had now changed her stance: she resolved to cling to the Observer’s coattails and devise a way to unearth his secrets!

Being able to perceive the status of her thoughts, trace Liss undergoing the Bronze Dragon’s trial, and gather teammates in the Void Realm… Man, you have caught this princess’s attention!

At the moment, Diya also noticed something—It seemed the Observer hadn’t mentioned her to the Sword Maiden, hence the Sword Maiden was somewhat against her arrival.

Hmm… I’m not good at socializing. This situation calls for someone else…

Switch with Liss? But Liss is needed to manage the main body, and she is too young…

Among my sisters, the most adept at human nature and an adult woman would be…

She adjusted her ornamental silver-rimmed glasses, catching a glimpse of her own reflection.

When Diya opened her eyes, her clothing had transformed into a snow-white, shiny off-shoulder mini dress, her legs clad in gartered white silk stockings, her hair turned snow-white, and her dark red lips adding a touch of mature charm.

Ash and Sonia, who were inexperienced, were slightly taken aback—So one could actually change skins directly in the Void Realm?

Moreover, Ash had a question: the witch in the illustration wasn’t wearing glasses, and the witch who had visited him earlier also wasn’t wearing glasses, so why was she wearing them now that they were in the Void Realm?

But he didn’t plan to pry, as glasses really hit his sweet spot.

Speaking of which, Ash had faced three near-death experiences so far. The first time was when Gerard almost killed him, the second time Valcas had nearly taken him along in the Blood Moon Judgement, and the third time was when Freyja found a pair of glasses in a drawer and almost put them on.

The third time was the most dangerous.

“Hello, I’m a Witch.” Diya reached out to shake hands with Sonia, “Nice to meet you.”

“Please take good care of me and the Observer in the future.”

This little loudspeaker… The red-haired Sword Maiden immediately got so angry that her eyes almost turned vertical.

At that instant, Sonia recalled all the family ethical noble court dramas she had seen, wracking her brain for a brilliant comeback.

However, just then, Ash called out to them:

“Don’t stand there, let’s talk in the car.”

Looking over, they saw that Ash had somehow acquired a convertible and was comfortably stretching himself out.

Ash was actually a bit surprised that it was a convertible, but then he realized—there’s no rain on the Time Continent, at least no “downward” rain, and a roof would only obstruct the view like a mosaic, meaningless, so it might as well be removed.

Of course, this might also be some interpretation of a ‘light luxury’.

Sonia wasn’t surprised at all, as she had sailed the Sea of Knowledge with Ash. Diya’s eyes sparkled as she clapped softly, admiringly looking at Ash: “Observer, you’re amazing. Probably only we can explore the Void Realm in a sports car on the entire Time Continent, right?”

“It’s not that amazing.” Ash said modestly, “It’s all thanks to everyone else’s contribution.”

This woman… Sonia clenched her teeth in frustration. Ever since the Observer had barged into her life, she’d sped down the path of ‘swordsmanship prodigy,’ forsaking many days of balls and tea parties. Usually, it was more of others flattering her than her flattering others, and she naturally neglected practicing her verbal maneuvers.

A compliment to the Observer was easy and cost nothing yet greatly enhanced his affinity—a high value social interaction tip. Had it been earlier, Sonia would have definitely caught on, but Diya had beaten her to it!

This Witch… Seems she’s a Mage just like me!

Then the two looked at the passenger seat next to Ash and reached out simultaneously!

Sitting in the passenger seat didn’t prove anything, but sometimes losing face meant losing everything. When it was time to compete, one had to fight everywhere, even if there was nothing to gain, just to show one’s stance. A single step back could lead to a whole retreat!

“Witch, do you want to sit in the front?” Sonia smiled radiantly.

“Yes, the view is nicer from the front.” Diya blinked.

“But this is my first time on the Time Continent exploring, how about I get a good sightseeing first?”

“Well…”

“Do you both want to sit in the front? Then you sit.”

Ash flipped to the back seat: “I don’t really want to squeeze in with others anyway.”

Sonia: “…”

Diya: “…”
