The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 155

Previously, the Society of Merriment’s actions in Berren City only made the Church of the Savior Goddess more uncomfortable, but did not shake the Church of the Savior Goddess’s fundamental base of belief. At most, its status in Ansu plummeted. It wasn’t considered a subversion.

But under her simulated self’s manipulation, the fusion of the Church of the Savior Goddess and the Divine Advent Church showed them a subversive future.

A divided Church of the Savior Goddess was not considered a threat to Ansu and other legitimate church groups. It was merely a church with many lower-class believers but no substantial power. It even helped Ansu maintain stability at the lower level.

But a complete Church of the Savior Goddess… this was different.

As the most powerful church during the Holy War, the reunification of the Church of the Savior Goddess would definitely trigger strong opposition from Ansu’s higher-ups and other legitimate churches. Even the slightest hint of fusion would be enough to ruin the Church of the Savior Goddess completely.

Enough to subvert the Church of the Savior Goddess, completely eradicating it in Ansu.

If this feat could be accomplished, it would be enough for them to complete the Reconstitution Ritual for advancing from Tier 3 to Tier 4, possibly even achieving “perfect reconstitution.”

The grand plan her simulated self painted wasn’t just this.

Originally, they only wanted to create a situation where each faction was chaotic and divided, consolidating their own potion digestion while finding “merriment” within it.

But in just 20 days, the simulated Ciel, through her efforts and speeches, united the originally divided Orlando immigrants, refugees, and local workers of Berren City, initiating an unprecedented general strike.

This was another fusion, another subversive future.

And this future would subvert all royal families, nobles, wealthy merchants, and even Ansu itself.

This was the second super-sized plan her simulated self painted, making them so tempted that they finally agreed to meet.

The meeting time was on July 26th, at the “celebration banquet” after blowing up most of the wealthy merchants and nobles in Berren City.

But her simulated self, her ambition, seemed even grander than Ciel imagined…

【Holy Year 741, July 26th, 5 PM】

【Sigh, really hate it】

【I change my face every few days enduring pain, break my bones a few times and set them a few times to change my appearance, messed with so many things, and in the end, you snatched the prize?】

【But causing trouble is really fun, and no need to consider any consequences】

【The path is already laid out for you. Ansu’s riot control army has also been pressed outside Berren City】

【As for the “Subverter” manipulating behind the scenes?】

【To be honest, the level is a bit incompetent. After drinking the potion, half the body is rotten from incomplete digestion, and still needs to rely on completing the Reconstitution Ritual to consolidate the potion】

【You should know what you need to do, right? Finding them is not your primary goal. Even knowing their identity is not a big deal—with this simulation, you can find their identity whenever you want. Everything I have done is recorded. You can replicate it anytime】

【Tell Merritt to get your bag. After you read it, you’ll know】

【Good luck. Don’t disappoint my previous efforts ^^】

No wonder Merritt wasn’t too confused by the changes in her hairstyle and clothes. It turned out her simulated self constantly changed her appearance.

This time, most likely her simulated self used Ciel’s appearance again, claiming it was to gain Avena’s trust, then orchestrated the bombing that killed the noble wealthy merchants. Besides helping Ciel with her disguise, it was also to completely ignite the fuse.

A vague guess surfaced in Ciel’s mind.

At this moment, she had already followed Merritt into the manor mansion’s hall. She looked towards Merritt and said, “Merritt, get my bag.”

“Okay, Lord Faceless.”

Merritt nodded repeatedly, quickly ran upstairs. In a moment, she appeared before Ciel, carrying a simple canvas satchel.

Towards this new captain, who was sometimes gentle, sometimes crazy, like a split personality, Merritt felt not only respect but also fear.

Not just her, everyone in the squad had more or less a sense of fear towards her.

She was definitely insane, at least mentally unstable—this was the thought in everyone’s mind from the first time the new captain came to the subversion squad alone.

And her subsequent plans, one more insane than the last. These reckless actions eventually showed signs of coming to fruition.

Bringing the Church of the Savior Goddess and the Divine Advent Church together?

This plan, which would make one laugh out loud upon first hearing, became reality in local areas under her manipulation.

And the previously bewildering alliance of the Republican Army and workers, and the general strike, completed the sublimation of opposition at the moment of the explosion that killed all the nobles and wealthy merchants. This was an opposition that could not be resolved for at least fifteen years.

Compared to their initial goal of just blowing up Avena to create opposition between the Roswell family and the Orlando Republican Army, the new captain’s thinking was clearly more far-reaching and grand.

Continuing to follow her like this, perhaps the entire Ansu would collapse and split because of this… At least North Ansu splitting off was a certainty.

And Ciel, at this moment, after taking the simple canvas bag and opening it, saw the two bottles of potion lying inside. The pink tentacles in her pupils vibrated wildly.

It was the “Dream Thief” potion and the “Subverter” potion.

Indeed…

Ciel’s lips parted in a grin. Her simulated self continuously laid the groundwork, not dealing with the Society of Merriment, even bringing the Society of Merriment along to cause trouble, not just for fun.

She wanted to use the hand of the Society of Merriment to stir up these matters… and then steal the fruits of this subversion.

Directly achieving a two-tier jump… becoming a Tier 3 “Subverter”…

Wasn’t I just telling you to divert the Society of Merriment’s attention, so they wouldn’t focus on Berren City and Avena, to make them cause trouble elsewhere? At most, you could advance to Tier 2.

You actually want to advance directly to Tier 3?

Once you reach Tier 3, you become the strongest save file. Ciel would then have no reason not to use this save file, right?

“Haha, interesting! Fun!”

Ciel laughed as she swung the canvas bag in her hand, throwing it over her shoulder. The two potion bottles inside clinked together, producing a crisp sound.

“Lord Faceless… You should go meet the ‘Keyman’… They are on the second floor…” Merritt whispered behind Ciel.

“Keyman” was their codename. In Ansu script, it could be a double meaning for “key figure.”

From this nickname, one could see their self-importance and confidence.

“Let’s go.”

Ciel casually tossed the canvas bag in her hand towards Merritt, and strode towards the stairs.

She would meet this “Keyman,” and then…

Completely ignite the riot in Berren City.

All the things are planned with my own hand.

“Keyman.”

What will you do, to seize this victory from my hand?
