After a moment of dumbfoundedness, Lulu finally reacted dumbly.
“Little Blue... Why did you suddenly mimic the appearance of the former demon general? And this color... Wait a minute, could it be that you’ve successfully evolved!? But you haven’t obtained...”
“Mimicry? Well... sort of, but I’m not the Little Blue you know.”
The pale golden Miss Slime lowered her head, examining her body as if it were something entirely new, then tugged at the ragged, basically just loosely wrapped cloth around her body, furrowing her brow slightly.
“Could you please pay attention to a young girl’s basic privacy...?”
With a casual snap of her fingers, a vast void of darkness opened up in the air. Miss Slime reached in and rummaged around for a moment before pulling out a sturdy black cloak and draping it over herself.
“That should do it~”
“Huh? You...”
Miss Butterfly looked bewilderedly as the golden Miss Slime stepped past her, walking towards the front. Clearly, whether in appearance, personality, or ability, the present entity before her bore a world of difference from the Little Blue she knew.
She glanced up at the magnificent golden barrier enveloping all the nonhuman girls, including herself, and finally, the tone of the Spirit Butterfly girl became somewhat reverent.
“Y-y-you... Wait, you, are you really the same demon general we met before!? But why did you appear from Little Blue, and where did she go?”
“Oh, it’s indeed me. Actually, I’m not exactly a demon general. Just call me Violet. As for Little Blue, don’t worry, she’s fine. She’s just letting me borrow her body for a while.”
After all, she had promised Tiyelu to ensure the safety of Little Blue and all the other monsters, so compared to bursting out of the cave and causing a scene, this method was much easier and more reassuring.
Glancing at the human army outside, still clanging away with 【Light Protection】, and even the archers and mages firing at full force, Violet, with the hood of her black cloak pulled up, clenched her fists and nodded thoughtfully.
This was what Sethlin had taught her: the application of “Divine Descent” through soul incarnation.
In essence, it utilized a soul incarnation far more powerful than Little Blue’s to temporarily attach to this body, manipulate its actions, and to some extent, strengthen the vessel to more conveniently interfere with reality.
Originally, Violet shouldn’t have been able to directly descend her incarnation onto Little Blue. The conditions for “Divine Descent” were strict, not only did the target need to possess extremely devout faith, but also a sufficient affinity with the body, much like Theresa.
Attempting to possess a body without meeting the conditions of Divine Descent would instinctively cause rejection in the body. In the most severe cases, it might even result in the death of the vessel, with the descent naturally failing.
The kind of near-collapse state Little Blue experienced before was also due to her body’s inability to directly withstand Violet’s excessively powerful incarnation.
In fact, in the light elemental crystal that Violet previously gave to Little Blue, there was a trace of her SP harbored within, much like an eye embedded on it.
Originally, Miss Priestess was only meant for reconnaissance, but when Violet’s consciousness turned over, she remembered the special nature of the “Adaptive Mimicry Slime.” With a flash of insight, Violet suddenly wanted to try if she could directly manifest using this body.
Clearly, she was indulging in wishful thinking. Upon sensing the strong rejection, Violet was prepared to give up to save Little Blue’s life.
But she didn’t expect Miss Slime to directly swallow the light elemental crystal. This item closely linked to Violet unexpectedly formed a carrier similar to an intermediary at a critical moment, allowing this “Adaptive Mimicry Slime” to undergo a special transformation under some unknown influence and establish a mysterious connection with Miss Priestess.
So, inexplicably, in a situation even Violet hadn’t fully understood, the vessel met the standards for reliance, and Miss Priestess was able to complete her first “descent” in this world.
Although the process was a bit chaotic, it’s good that it succeeded.
Arriving at the edge of the barrier, Violet roughly assessed the condition of this body.
“...It’s a bit weak, isn’t it? Even the slime body has limited endurance. If it were a human body, wouldn’t it be even more unbearable? Or is there some special factor at play?”
Compared to directly descending into the world of Aibus, having a vessel allowed Violet to do more things, but her actual power was significantly limited.
Yes, very noticeable.
And probably because of the temporary attachment, Violet could actually see the panel attributes of the current body through digitized information. This was a rare occurrence, even for the system that Miss Priestess had brought from the game, showing some presence.

Obviously, this body falls far short in all aspects compared to Violet’s original form. Apart from the basic and somewhat useless attributes of strength and agility, including HP, MP, and most importantly, intelligence, are only at about 1-3% of her original levels, which can be considered quite meager.
After all, Little Blue is just a slime. Even if she has become a Holy Light Slime for some reason, it’s impossible for her to compare with the bodies of the gods.
As for age, it likely refers to Little Blue’s own age. Reaching level 80 is probably not coincidental. It likely has something to do with the restrictions on power in this world, as mentioned by Sethlin and the Goddess of Withering.
Moreover, this body cannot equip any of Violet’s usual gear, for a simple reason: the level isn’t high enough.
Even the weakest demi-artifact requires a level of at least 80 to use, and note that it’s at least. True artifacts require a minimum of level 100, which is the conventional meaning of reaching maximum level.
This is one of the reasons why the attributes of this body are so frustratingly low.
Oh well, it’ll have to do. Even though it falls short compared to Lucas, who is also level 80, it should be more than enough to deal with some cannon fodder like the human army.
But speaking of which, can this body really be used as a mage or a priest?
Recalling the nearly identical three-dimensional values she had seen earlier, and then glancing at the barrier, which was not only noticeably awkward to activate but also far less bright than the 【Light Protection】 cast by the original, the slime-controlling priestess couldn’t help but harbor some doubts.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Five earth-shattering cannon blasts landed heavily on the golden curtain, jolting Violet’s consciousness from her contemplation. She turned her head to look outside, only to see several cannons facing their direction emitting billows of black smoke from their pitch-black muzzles. Even the inferior version of the 【Light Protection】 displayed several imperceptible cracks.
“Hmm? Humans actually have such means? Interesting. Is this... a special weapon designed to target high-level monsters?”
Just in time, let’s take advantage of this rare opportunity to try something new~
