After finishing his report with the gods, Rorschach could be considered to have completed his part of the mission.
With the floating ship and Rorschach as the navigator, the return journey was naturally smooth sailing.
The other Descenders tried to talk to Rorschach, but he naturally put on his mask and found a corner to enjoy the scenery. It was clear that he did not intend to get close to the other Descenders.
"Hmph, I thought I could easily get free information from me. Once is enough."
In the past few years, he had already been cheated twice.
Due to the previous publicity, the Honesty talent was no longer a secret to the Aishi people, and with weaknesses and loopholes, there would naturally be people with bad intentions who would want to take advantage of it.
He had been tricked by his fellow countrymen with bad intentions and accidentally revealed his secrets once, and that was already more than enough.
Now, Rorschach was used to refusing unnecessary conversations with other Descenders (leaking secrets).
Seeing Rorschach standing in the corner to enjoy the scenery, it was clear that he refused to communicate. The other Descenders naturally would not ask for trouble.
An alliance agreement with other gods? It was originally an alliance of interests, so it was better to leave it to those who were good at it. In the past two years, Rorschach appeared less and less in diplomatic situations due to the limitations of his talent ability.
Naturally, they did not speak along the way. Although they lost a lot of goods (a pack beast with a greeting gift), after a round, the two of them who went out returned.
Obviously, they did not achieve the initial plan of communicating with the alliance, but they had already completed the mission beyond expectations. When they entered a safe city, Rorschach finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They landed at the airport of Cape Town. With a certain hostage, Rorschach naturally rushed to the Three Guns Game Hall.
Although Isabella had run off to some unknown place as expected, the second batch of people had already arrived. With a little perception, the number of open and hidden sentries exceeded two digits. The temporary temple (church) could be considered safe.
Seeing that Rorschach had returned, Su Nanna, who was at the counter, raised her head to greet him before lowering her head to continue working.
The piles of paperwork and documents on the counter were obviously not financial problems of the small game hall.
Since they had already taken root and decided to do something, a new intelligence organization naturally had to be established. Just dispatching people and bribing local informants was enough to keep her busy.
However, doing espionage in front of a group of children in the game hall who were playing in a frenzy, selling game coins while contacting spies and informants, Su Nana's heart was really big.
After returning to the safe area, Rorschach also walked to the secret room at the back of the game hall, where the statue of Lori was enshrined.
This was the most heavily guarded place in the Divine Palace. The guards had arrived a long time ago. Even the masters who had just arrived were eating bananas at the door.
After greeting his colleagues, Rorschach found a safe reclining chair and lay down. Then, he prayed to the gods and began preparing to return to Aishi.
This was also the fundamental reason why they had to build a temporary church in the enemy's camp. With Rorschach and Lori's connection, using the church in the Divine Dominion as a springboard, the Descenders of the Game Church could still travel back and forth between Aishi and Ansorenne even if they didn't need to return to the main camp.
It seemed like an insignificant help, but it was also extremely beneficial to ease the tension of the Descenders in battle, maintain their condition in a prolonged battle, and persevere in long-term missions.
As usual, although Rorschach's ability couldn't provide direct damage or help in battle, in terms of logistics, it was still a mess.
Knowing that Rorschach was about to arrive, there were a few other Descenders waiting in the prayer room. It seemed like they were planning to hitch a ride.
However, what surprised Rorschach was that Isabella wasn't among them. She should have been unable to endure this world without new games and internet.
"Ha, missions first. She's actually improved and learned how to be patient."
[… No, don't overestimate her. One week ago, she became addicted to the internet. She passed through the fog, thunderstorm, and wastelands all by herself and rushed back to my Divine Kingdom. She's currently catching up on new games.]
Rorschach clicked his tongue. To be able to pass through such dangerous wilderness all by herself, he had once again underestimated Isabella's power level. However, he had also underestimated how unreliable she was.
"Even if there's still half a month before I return, it shouldn't be like this … Forget it, forget it, let's just leave it at that."
Rorschach scratched his head. He was becoming more and more accustomed to giving up on thinking about Isabella … After all, he didn't have much hope in her.
[Connection complete. Soul bridge connecting … beep beep beep … beep beep beep beep … Connecting, please wait …]
"What era is it now? Why are they still using this dial-up beep beep? Everyone has complained a lot in private. Even if you want to make jokes, you need to keep up with the times and follow the basics. "
[Stop arguing. If you distract me again, I'll make your server busy. Waiting in line for 99999.]
"The server is busy? Is it busy roasting potatoes …? "
[… I've been researching the soul recently. Are you interested in what will happen if I accidentally put a man's soul into a woman's body? Right, Su Nanna's physical body is still here …]
"My dear younger sister, I was wrong."
Rorschach instantly admitted defeat. He finally waited until the server finished roasting fish.
[Welcome home, baddie.]
Returning home was always a happy thing.
However, there were some things that he just couldn't get used to.
"… It's always possible to sense evil intentions from this change in perspective."
When Rorschach woke up in Aishi's physical body, he felt really uncomfortable all over.
It was impossible for the medical staff to be lazy. Not only were there professionals regularly cleaning Aishi's physical body, there were also regular massages to prevent muscle atrophy. Nothing would happen to Rorschach for the time being.
However, Rorschach's situation was still rather special.
There was a huge difference between the two physical bodies. Their strength, physique, type of magic, height, and other basic stats were completely different. This made Rorschach feel tremendous discomfort every time he switched bodies.
This feeling was just like drinking a large bottle of hard liquor and then having to forcefully get in line … Controlling one's own physical body made one feel like a drunkard who drank too much, or like a gamer who was separated by a computer screen. There was always an indescribable sense of discomfort and estrangement.
Originally, this wasn't a big deal. However, his symptoms had become more and more intense over the past year. By now, it was a restriction that couldn't be ignored. This was also the main reason why Rorschach couldn't carry out long-term missions.
Rorschach directly went to the gym next door after wiping off his sweat with a towel. Based on his experience, his symptoms would probably improve after he trained until he was almost completely exhausted.
Two years ago, Rorschach's two physical bodies were still "blank" and he didn't feel anything. However, over the past two years, as more and more "content" was poured into his physical body, the emptiness he felt from losing his power was just like the pain of losing an illusory limb.
Rorschach once asked a grandmaster who also had a huge difference in physical body. However, the grandmaster's answer was, "That's because you still don't have a clear self-awareness. Your physical body is only a surface. You need to use your mind's eye to observe your true self and become one with your true self …"
Rorschach was nagged for two full hours by the grandmaster's teacher addiction. Rorschach finally discovered that although the grandmaster's words seemed to make sense … wasn't this all nonsense? If one could become one with their true self, then there wouldn't be so many problems.
Rorschach later asked many people before he received a less philosophical answer.
Under normal circumstances, a new descender would have already undergone several years of training. Their control over their physical body would have reached a certain level, and they would have basically determined their own path.
However, not only did Rorschach's physical body start from the time when both of his physical bodies were basically blank, his control over his physical body and his self-awareness had yet to be confirmed. Yet, he had already begun to walk down the path of "one woman, two men". Naturally, his self-awareness was mixed up … that is, his soul didn't know which one was his true physical body.
This wasn't a big deal to begin with. It would be fine as long as he trained more. However, Rorschach's two physical bodies were vastly different from each other. This caused him to lean towards learning and control. It could be said that he was walking down two different paths at the same time. This was quite amusing.
A wood spirit's physical body's basic stats were quite average, but their affinity with nature was quite high. Since Roxia wanted to make the most of his natural talents, he hurriedly cultivated in nature divine arts and ranger divine arts. Even if he practiced martial arts, he would mostly focus on balance and agility … It would be meaningless even if he trained in strength with his tiny arms and legs.
Meanwhile, Ansorenne's physical body's basic stats were quite high. His strength, agility, and constitution were all quite good. Rorschach naturally left most of his practical combat training with Ansorenne.
Due to the Gold Elves' magical bloodline and Ansorenne's highly concentrated Elemental Tide, Rorschach naturally focused on learning and mastering magic.
And so, in Aishi, Rorschach was a ranger who focused on nature divine arts. As a warrior monk, he focused on meditation.
Meanwhile, in Ansorenne, Rorschach was a powerful magic swordsman who played with the power of the elements. He cultivated both martial arts and combat techniques.
In these two worlds, not only did Rorschach and Rorschach take different paths in mastering the power of the elements, but even their martial arts cultivation paths were completely different.
The path of becoming a powerful individual's job class was also a path of evolution. In the end, one would still have to return to one's origin (soul). If a single soul simultaneously walked on two paths, the situation would naturally be quite terrible.
The soul affected the physical body, and the physical body also affected the soul. The fact that Rorschach's soul hadn't been split into two was already a testament to how sturdy his soul was.
Obviously, it was impossible for him to give up on descending.
The experts' final suggestion was to have both Rorschach's physical bodies do the same type of training as much as possible in order to gradually reach a consensus. And before that, both physical bodies couldn't be left empty for long periods of time. They had to be replaced every two months at most.
Of course, there were always pros and cons to everything. Such a strong negative effect wasn't without benefits for Rorschach.
Ignoring the negative effect, Rorschach was currently in a hurry. After completing several dozen sets of muscle training, Rorschach's dizziness improved slightly, so he put on his clothes and left the house.
