Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation(Vol 5)

Vol 5/ Chapter 168: Divine Revelation Again

After being beaten down by reality over and over, Camille wasn't as naive as before. Thanks to her natural succubus charm, she'd always done okay in City Wal.

No doubt her luck was still pretty good. After that time when she spotted me and Selene sneaking into City Wal, even though she didn't catch us, Camille used that chance to get Michelle's attention.

The memories I saw showed that while things were still hot with the "Fire God", Camille tried more than once to subtly convince Michelle to stop the pointless war against humans. But every time, she failed. Eventually Michelle got fed up. In a fit of anger, she stuck this "support staff" who wasn't even level 6 into the team fighting for the Cycle of Rebirth, leading them into Ilandra Dominion.

The next part was harder to see. Maybe because her brain was damaged, most of what I could read was old memories. Just as the magic was about to wear off, I finally got to some bits from more recent times.

"I saw the order sent to each nuke control unit. You increased the 'Level 1 attack status' countdown to over 10 minutes. What's your game? That'll put us at a huge disadvantage if humans notice and try to hit back. Don't you know that?"

This was some time after they took over M-country's leadership. Rasambla came storming in to confront Camille. He slammed his hand on Camille's desk, smashing it to bits, and got in her face, yelling: "You better get this straight! There's only us two left now. If we can't wipe out the humans on Earth, how are we gonna fight our way back into H-country and take control of the space portal anytime soon?"

"We only know about these world-destroying weapons from humans. We don't really know what they'll do. So I decided to be more careful when using them," Camille explained.

She quickly caught the laptop before it hit the floor. She didn't seem angry. Instead, she walked up to Rasambla very sweetly, wrapped her arms around his neck and said in a soft voice:

"Plus, this world's international situation is totally different from what we thought. Earth humans aren't nearly as united as you imagine! And you know H-country's space portal seems to have big problems, right? We might be stuck in this world for a long time. If that's the case, carelessly firing off nukes will only cut off our own path. At least in the future, none of us want to live in a world where nothing can grow, right?"

"Uh... I guess that makes some sense..."

For a moment, Rasambla seemed enchanted by her sweetness. His attitude softened right away. Then he eagerly grabbed Camille's waist, picked her up and headed for the bedroom. What happened next was cut off completely...

"How'd it go? Did you find the nuke cancel password?" Adrian asked anxiously when my mind came back to reality. Even though it felt like I spent a long time in Camille's memories, less than a minute had passed in the real world.

"No..." I shook my head and sighed a little, looking at the body in front of me.

The memory magic probably ate away a lot of the monster's brain tissue. There probably wasn't much left of Camille's brain by now.

But I'd picked up on that tiny bit of key info left in her last memories.

"Even though I didn't get the cancel password, I know where all the nuke launch silos are. Combined with each team's targets for this mission, we can pretty much be sure the only nukes ready to launch are the one Number 11 Feliciana didn't destroy, and one in that abandoned base where the rescue team is!"

In that last memory fragment, the laptop screen Camille caught showed the whole nuke layout plan for M-country. The basic info matched what Wayne Peng got from Senator Morrison, but it was way more detailed. It even clearly showed all the preset targets!
