Chapter 114 World J: Complete. She should be called the counterpart of Starfall...
Should we call her an isotope of the meteorite?
Undeniably, their face and hair color are the same, but their eyes resemble the golden eyes of Novigrad, and their cynical nature is like that of the jester Yang Yan.
At least Ethan had never seen Starfall laugh like that. Compared to Starfall's constant sarcastic and cold laughter, it was more like Yangyan's carefree and indifferent attitude towards the lives of others.
Starfall... let's call her Starfall for now. She rested her chin on one hand, and in the other hand she held a stemmed glass filled with red liquid that she had somehow produced. She gently swirled the liquid in the glass, keeping it within a perfectly controlled distance so that not a single drop spilled.
She admired the view downstairs with great interest, while Ethan was frantically trying to kill Ethan and his group with a suicidal attitude.
Every move was deadly; he used everything at his disposal, even when he himself was in danger, attacking like a madman.
Her hand, painted with black nail polish, finally stopped swirling the wine glass. She took a sip, the red liquid staining her pale lips, giving her a strangely alluring look.
Like an elegant vampire, savoring the blood you love.
Yaroslava only wanted to defend and didn't want to kill Ethan, so she was only occasionally forced to attack.
Ethan only wants to kill them. His primary target right now is Yaroslava. The three shrunken guardians who are running around dodging his attacks are just incidental targets; he can kick them out as well.
Little Turner ducked to avoid Ethan's leg, which even made a sharp whooshing sound as it flew through the air; he was almost hit and his back was covered in cold sweat.
He did another quick roll, managing to pull little Nadia to the ground, luckily avoiding the table that Ethan accidentally kicked over during his attack.
Because Nadia was lying down, she tripped over Ethan, who was frantically trying to avoid her. With a soft thud, Ethan, like Nadia, received a direct embrace from Mother Earth.
...I bumped my tooth.
Little Ethan silently covered his mouth, while little Nadia cast a questioning and worried look at him.
Little Ethan silently shook his head, and like a caterpillar, he cooed and left.
Little Turner thought this was a good idea, and like Little Ethan, he moved slowly on the ground.
Little Nadia looked left and right, then quietly joined the crawling group on the ground, and the three children crawled like that.
Yaroslava wasn't as relaxed as them. She had to dodge Ethan's fierce attacks because a counterattack could potentially kill him, so she was constantly on the defensive.
If they could fight freely, Yaroslava couldn't guarantee that the ending would be either everyone breaking free from control or her accidentally killing Ethan of this world, because the restrictions were too great. She tried to develop in the direction of [illegible characters] as much as possible afterward, and her battles with the guardians in this area were evenly matched.
She has already begun to shift the battlefield; staying here is too restrictive. They are now in the garden outside the castle.
When Ethan unleashed another deadly move, Yaroslava finally spotted an opening. She dodged his attempt to recover after discovering her weakness and grabbed Ethan, delivering a powerful over-the-shoulder throw.
Bang--
His body was slammed to the ground without mercy, sending debris flying and raising a cloud of dust where Ethan had been thrown over the shoulder.
Having reached a relatively safe place, Ethan shrank his neck and suddenly felt a phantom pain.
His internal organs churned violently, and a pungent, metallic taste rose to his head. Even though Ethan covered his mouth, blood still seeped through his fingers, sliding down his cheeks with the force of gravity before disappearing into the soil.
I can't beat them...
But it must continue. He will offer that woman the power they have gathered from so many worlds, even at the cost of his life, to do his utmost to the very end.
Ethan desperately ignored the pain all over his body and stood up.
Bang--
A bigger, louder, and heavier over-the-shoulder throw.
No, no... this is too bad... I need to get up quickly...
Ethan struggled to get up.
Bang--
"..."
Only the sound of heavy breathing echoed in the silent night.
Bang bang—
"..."
Bang, bang, bang—
This time, there wasn't even a weak gasp for breath; the scene was deathly silent.
Ethan, unable to rise again—
"It still didn't work out. So why did we choose him?" Yang Yan's cheeky voice echoed in his mind: "If it were Tenas from this world, he could probably complete the mission perfectly well. Why didn't we choose him? He's just a prince in a neighboring country."
"I don't think so, but I agree with your idea that there should be someone else who is more suitable." In his mind, Novigrad's calm voice slowly analyzed: "I think Reena of this world is the more suitable candidate, or Nadia? They have become the two queens of that country, and they also have a well-trained army."
"Heh." Starfall's voice was merely a cold laugh in response to the other two voices.
"What are you laughing at?" Yang Yan's voice was malicious: "She chose Ethan from this world, but the ending was so boring, a complete and utter failure. He was like a helpless child in front of her."
She deliberately emphasized the word "child," fully expressing the mockery she wanted to convey.
"Do you want to die?!"
"Haha, weren't we already dead?"
As expected, Yang Yan and Xing Yun started arguing.
Cynthia covered her ears, her face contorted with unbearable noise.
"Are you still thinking about your ridiculous guardian at a time like this?" Yang Yan laughed loudly. "Wake up! Look what he's brought you! Because of your own reasons, you've always been a little special to his counterparts, but they've all rebelled against you, refused to listen to your brainwashing, or are so useless that even if you control them, you can't gain any power from them."
"Heh." Starfall wasn't going to back down either: "Who on earth doesn't even know such basic brainwashing? They can only torture the other person's body and affect their mind in order to completely control their body. But even if they control the body, they never succeed in doing anything. Instead, the person being controlled ends up being ganged up on and beaten up by everyone."
Kagerou, her defenses have been breached.
The two voices were arguing, mixed with Noviglad's hesitant attempts to mediate.
Sharp points, chaotic, contradictory.
The noise gave Cynthia an even bigger headache. She sulked and messed up her hair, her face darkening. The noise made her feel terrible.
Her mind felt like it was about to explode; she was in so much pain that she wanted to just let it explode. But sadly, Cynthia's mind didn't explode in the end.
She was so affected by the pain in her head that she didn't immediately chase after Yaroslava.
Yaroslava acted very quickly, taking out the healing potion that Little Ethan had distributed to everyone, and force-feeding it to the unconscious Ethan. Then, she grabbed the three shrunken guardians and had Little Ethan try to open a portal to leave this world.
Because Ethan's body hadn't returned to its previous state, opening the portal was even more unstable than usual, so they fell into the bizarre portal.
“They… got away…” Cynthia gritted her teeth, trying to relieve the pain by rubbing her temples: “Damn it, it’s all because of you! Since you’re dead, just disappear!”
After they failed to complete the mission sent by that person last time, their three wills were directly transformed by that person, merging them into one.
After the power is extracted, the will of a city is indeed not as strong as the will of another normal city that has not had its power extracted. However, if the wills of three cities whose power has been extracted are combined, they will be stronger than the wills of normal cities.
Cynthia is the being born from the combination of these three.
She possesses Kagerou's ambitious and willful personality.
He possesses the erudition of Novigrad and Starfall, the calm and rational mind of Novigrad, most of Starfall's abilities, and not-so-good temper.
That person was very satisfied because the three of them had previously had a subtle rivalry, but by turning the three of them into one entity, all of that would cease to exist.
However, Cynthia couldn't be sure if this was a hallucination or if the fusion hadn't been complete, which was why she kept hearing voices in her head, interfering with everything and allowing Yaroslava and the others to escape.
Now she's in a tough spot too. She doesn't know what kind of punishment she'll face when she gets back. She'll be lucky to escape with her life... It seems like the chances of her dying are pretty high.
"Haha, Cynthia will be here to join us soon~"
Cynthia's veins throbbed, and she unconsciously increased the pressure on her hand as she rubbed her temples. Her voice was filled with barely suppressed anger: "Shut up, useless Yang Yan! You're the worst of the worst. I'll outlive you all."
"I never expected you to have this kind of personality, Starfall?"
"Don't mistake me for him!" Cynthia's tone was equally unfriendly towards Novigrad. "Stop comparing me to you, and stop saying things like, 'How do I resemble so-and-so?' or 'Whose abilities do I have?' I don't care about any of that, because I am a new being, not one of you. It's even more ridiculous that you mistake me for another kind of Starfall because of my appearance. Because I am not that guy at all!"
The voice in my mind disappeared strangely for a moment, then I remembered the familiar voice again.
"I think I inherited Yang Yan's bad temper."
"Hey! Novigrad, I'm not that bad-tempered, okay? It's Starfall who has that terrible personality."
"Like a whiny girl, just like you."
"What? When have I ever been unreasonable? Explain yourself! If you don't explain yourself today, you won't have any peace and quiet for the rest of the day."
"...How did you manage to refrain from killing them?"
"Can't be killed."
"..."
Cynthia rubbed her temples at times, and at other times seemed to frantically scratch her hair, but because of her good hair quality, it eventually fell smoothly over her shoulders.
She was talking to herself, and at times her eyes would light up as if she had heard some brilliant plan.
At other times, she seemed to have heard something that upset her, and she would fly into a rage, covering her head and babbling incoherently, making it impossible to understand what she was saying. It made people think she had a mental illness.
After all, that crazy look couldn't be faked.
However, no one knows what cruel torture Cynthia suffered, not even that person.

Author's Note: When others applauded: clap clap clap
Yaroslava's *Crazy Over-the-Shoulder Throw*: bang bang bang
The three children, in this way, turned into caterpillars and tried very hard to crawl out.
And so, they left, leaving behind a mess...
Cynthia looks like someone with schizophrenia [panda head emoji]
Then, the three beings, whose true nature is unclear—whether they are illusions or still retain a sliver of their will—would argue and say things like, "Cynthia is like your child," which is extremely malicious.
