The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 225

This was very much what the “Subverter” would do. While planning, the plan would rush towards an explosive direction. The more chaotic it was, the more excited she would be—Ciel felt this deeply, as she had experienced that emotion several times.

Ciel continued to read.

【The previous steps can be kept, but in the middle, I will directly contact Lafayette through Mond and see if I can use “Subverter” to crush her mental state… I consulted Avena on this. Avena believes it would be safer to bring her along】

【The “Instigator” path is strong in influencing groups and can easily cause large-scale riots, but it is not easy to directly control a single person unless you know everything about them and accurately grasp their weakness to drive them mad—like the “Keyman” before—but the purpose of the plan is not to drive one person mad】

【But “Listener” is different. This path is not skilled at influencing groups but is good at using mental power to influence individuals. Avena at Tier 1 could seal Nia’s memories of the Other Side, allowing her to live longer. Now at Tier 2, she can be of help】

【As long as “Subverter” can weaken her mental state beforehand, Avena can take advantage of her weakness and modify Mond’s memories and dreams】

【Then, I can use Mond to approach Lafayette, repeat the trick, modify her memories, and have her help us. Finally, before Forte reads his memories again, directly tamper with the memories inside the “parasitic brain” to make him believe a fabricated, fictional rewind】

【Fabricating rewind memories, I am professional… because we have actually experienced dozens of so-called rewinds】

【The only difficulty lies in how to create a scar on Forte’s face… a permanent injury that will not heal】

【But I don’t have much time. Including the 24 hours you have arrived, there is only a little over three days left. It must be done using a more extreme method】

【I have decided to use the remaining Fate Points to maintain the “Subverter” save file and create a most precise dream for Forte, composed of multiple rewinds】

【At the point where he enters the dream, cooperate with Lafayette to create a scar on Forte’s face while he is in the dream…】

【This is definitely much more dangerous than snatching food from a tiger’s mouth. I hope I can accomplish it】

【Although I now know a lot of information about Forte, this is far from enough. I must ensure Forte cannot find any flaws】

【I need to know if Lafayette knows anything】

A bold plan… and the success rate cannot be guaranteed.

This was Ciel’s evaluation of the plan.

Using a dream ability on a Tier 4 was an absolute difficulty.

The main difficulty lay in the Tier 4’s abilities… If Forte used his abilities in the dream, he would definitely notice the weakening of his power—Ciel couldn’t simulate Forte’s specific power in a dream. That was something only he knew.

The method Ciel could think of now was to create crises that would keep Forte busy but wouldn’t require Forte to personally deal with them.

The Other Side was a good entry point.

Indeed, upon seeing the latter part of the notebook, her simulated self’s actions confirmed Ciel’s idea.

In the subsequent time, the simulated Ciel, along with Avena and Tara, directly confronted Mond. The notebook meticulously recorded the entire process for Ciel’s reference.

The process of controlling Mond was unexpectedly smooth. A Tier 3 transcendent whose identity was exposed was indeed no match for a “Subverter.” Moreover, “Subverter” Ciel could also create dreams based on things that had happened in the simulation, tormenting Mond severely.

Meanwhile, Avena took advantage of her weakness and, according to Ciel’s wishes, modified Mond’s memories, adding a section of her being the Keyman out of thin air.

Even how she replaced the Keyman, how the real Keyman died, and how she took over her identity were all engraved in Mond’s mind. Then, the memories about Adele and that assistant were deleted.

This was basically adapted from things Ciel had experienced in the simulation. The authenticity was enough to be indistinguishable from reality.

Because these things had indeed happened… just in another time.

However, controlling Lafayette almost went wrong.

This “Reborn”‘s brain had actually created a backup using a “parasitic brain,” almost allowing her to detect the correct memories.

Fortunately, the danger was averted. The location of the “parasitic brain” had also been marked down. She just needed to remember to modify it in reality.

And from Lafayette’s hand, Ciel unexpectedly obtained more information about Forte.

Lafayette was actually Forte’s adoptive mother… This “Reborn” had actually lived longer than the Tier 4 powerhouse Forte. The “Reborn” path was invaluable in this regard. In theory, a “Reborn” could not have failing organs.

The only thing that could cause their death was their mind… This was why Lafayette was helping the Church of the God of Order research “Artificial Divinity.”

No wonder Forte trusted Lafayette so much. He even allowed Lafayette to dispose of his most important memories.

With this identity, implementing the plan later became much smoother.

The simulated Ciel, using the “Subverter” save file and Lafayette’s assistance, guided Forte into the pre-arranged dream.

In the dream, Forte was still living his normal life. Whether he was meeting with ministers or the Queen, Ciel could simulate it perfectly… until, in the dream, “Keyman” Mond suddenly made a move.

In the dream, Mond had the brainwashed members of the Chaos Squad bring the Papal Scepter and Sacred Contract to the Church of the Savior Goddess, initiating the plan for church reunification.

All of this was detected by the “wise” Forte. In the dream, he noticed Mond’s actions using the “information gap”—Forte believed only he had the clues left from the rewind, and the Keyman did not.

Almost immediately after identifying the Keyman as Mond, Forte launched an attack. But upon encountering Mond, Mond revealed the truth about the “Uniqueness” on his body, then directly activated a blood ritual, summoning a Grim Worm.
