First, she absolutely could not follow Kaila’s plan of slaying both Witches at once; that would only provoke them into joining forces against a common enemy.
Second, she couldn’t target Chengzhong Dino first.
Miaoyue would simply follow the unspoken rules and strike at Sophie and the Hero with everything she had, while Dino would undoubtedly slack off and look for an opening.
Finally...
“Aba aba... Great Heavenly Mother! I am your faithful Saintess! Bishop Modi sent me to help you clear out this trash! Aba aba aba!”
Sophie deliberately relaxed her jaw muscles, letting a bead of crystal-clear saliva slide ungracefully down the corner of her mouth. It stretched into a long silver thread before drifting upward into the sky within the anti-gravity environment.
“Saintess? Aba aba aba?”
Miaoyue tilted her head, watching the silver-haired girl who was clinging tightly to the Hero’s back, drooling and shouting nonsense.
Her bishop, Modi, had indeed mentioned a Saintess before.
However, this hesitation lasted only a moment before more spells rained down on them like a torrential downpour.
“Liar.”
Miaoyue’s voice turned cold instantly.
“Master said that only the truly pious can hear the Divine Voice. Your clumsy disguise and ridiculous drooling are clearly an insult to the New Moon. If you think you can fool me with such low-class tricks, you’re a hundred years too early.”
【Log: You have triggered the skill [Acting (Reversed)]】
【Log: Due to the massive gap in status, Chengzhong Dino, Miaoyue, and Kaila have seen through your acting】
As expected, she wasn’t “sweet” enough.
In the end, she was just Sophie, not Taffy.
This was a development Sophie had anticipated.
But.
She still had a trump card.
Knowing the actual effects of her Acting skill, how could Sophie possibly rely solely on improvisation?
“Miss Hero, we’re proceeding as planned!”
Sophie shouted, her free hand reaching deep into the player inventory.
This was a set of forbidden alchemy potions she had secretly concocted using countless rare medicinal dregs.
They were the illicit keys used by humanity to challenge the limits of the flesh and charge against the gods.
Even in her past life, this set of potions was legendary.
The wind whipped through her silver hair, and a frantic fighting spirit burned within her crimson eyes.
“In a world where even breathing is difficult, how can one cross this chasm of despair without absolute resolve!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Sophie grabbed the first syringe and plunged it hard into the outer side of her pale thigh!
“Prepare to witness my peak form! Anadrol!”
A shockwave erupted from her, her silver hair standing on end as the violent medicinal power instantly surged through her entire body.
【Log: You have injected the alchemy potion [Anadrol]! Your hidden potential is awakening, and your muscle fibers are roaring as they break past their limits! Current Strength -1%!】
“Not enough! Again! Trenbolone!”
Sophie’s eyes were bloodshot as she grabbed the second potion and stabbed it into her left arm with unwavering decisiveness.
【Log: You have injected the alchemy potion [Trenbolone]! Wild animality is surging within you, and your neural reflexes have broken the laws of physics! Current Agility -1%!】
“Power is gushing out of me without end!”
Sophie’s face twisted in extreme excitement. She used both hands at once, plunging two more syringes into her left and right collarbones respectively.
【Log: You have injected the alchemy potion [Anavar]! Cellular aerobic respiration has reached its limit! Current Physique -1%!】
【Log: You have injected the alchemy potion [Winstrol]! Your mana circuits have been completely cleared! Current Intelligence -1%!】
The violent mana in the high altitude caused her clothes to flap and tear loudly.
Sophie let out a long howl toward the sky.
“Trestolone, Synthol, Primobolan—aid me in my path!”
She pulled three needles in quick succession, driving them into her abdomen and lower back.
【Log: [Trestolone] in effect! Your presence is warping space! Stealth effect -1%!】
【Log: [Synthol] in effect! Your blood concentration is climbing rapidly! Blood Suck recovery -1%!】
【Log: [Primobolan] in effect! Your charm has broken through the boundaries of the mundane! Current Charisma -1%!】
“The last two! Break!”
With a trembling but incredibly steady hand, Sophie grabbed the final two syringes, which glowed with a deep dark-purple hue.
She aimed the needles at her heart, pressing the plungers down with a tragic sense of resolve, as if seeking life through death.
The nine potions merged completely within her body.
【Log: [Deca-Durabolin] and [NPP] are now in effect! Your defense and magic resistance have undergone an unprecedented transformation! All Resistance -1%, Damage -1%!】
【Log: You have successfully endured the baptism of nine extreme potions and achieved the achievement [Nine Dragons as One]! You have gained 2 Free Attribute Points!】
Sophie’s body twitched violently on Kaila’s back.
The chemical reaction of the nine potions produced a nuclear-like chain reaction in her mind.
What should she do if her acting couldn't fool anyone?
It was simple.
She just had to let her true feelings flow.
In an instant, Sophie no longer suppressed her aura.
【Log: You have entered the [Nine Dragons Convergence (Reversed)] state. Your consciousness is -80% for 3 seconds.】
