Chapter 41: Building the Power Base
“Ugh~ The problem is solved! Mo Rabbit, get your furry self back to the theater with me quick smart. We’ve still got loads to do and no time to rest!”
Nyx Star lazily mumbled, clearly eyeing the theater like a comfy bed for some shut-eye.
Loti Shana was left to ponder this unfortunate turn of events at her own pace.
She’ll be much more obedient next time around for sure.
Getting a loli maid you can boss around like that isn’t bad at all.
The identity of these First Generation Star Eclipses is just super exciting, right?
Way more thrilling than any human servant.
But then as soon as Nyx walked past Mo Rabbit, something tripped her up almost causing her to faceplant.
“Whoah!”
If she had worse balance, there goes another dignity.
Quickly snapping out of it, Nyx glared ferociously at Mo Rabbit, spotting her recently retracted foot just as she did it.
“What the heck is wrong with you, Mo Rabbit!? Are you trying to trip me!?”
“I apologize deeply, since Loti turned me into a true Star Eclipse, my obsession amplified and my foot acted on its own accord. It definitely wasn’t on purpose,” Mo Rabbit said with a serene smile, looking as if she’s been telling the truth.
“Buh?”
Nyx suspiciously glanced towards Loti Shana, her crimson eyes searching for a deceitful glint.
Loti Shana shook her head vigorously, acting like a bobblehead doll, and denied every part of the situation.
“It wasn’t me! My All-Being Assimilation power was taken from me. Logically speaking, that thing would’ve returned to normal long ago!”
Loti Shana didn’t want to draw any more unwanted attention from Nyx, nor did she wish to take the fall!
How vindictive can this person be?
Upon explaining herself to Nyx, she squinted her eyes, waiting for an explanation.
Mo Rabbit chuckled nonchalantly.
“I guess that’s kinda a side effect then. Kinda influenced by it. Plus, this first generation Star Eclipse did turn me into one before, so hope you, Audience Performer, can understand.”
No matter what, her life’s about to go dark either way.
Taking this chance to get even with Nyx feels a bit less humiliating.
Even if she gets victimized later, thinking about tonight might make the revenge seem worth it.
Though, admittedly, this unequal payback is still quite embarrassing.
As long as Nyx doesn’t focus her wrath on her…
Thumper
“Hmm…”
Nyx merely stared deeply into Mo Rabbit’s eyes without too much concern.
Too much torture builds the pressure in a heart.
If this was just a minor prank on her, Nyx could care less.
Considering Mo Rabbit is part of the Rising Sun Theater Group, it’s only fair for her to let members unwind a little.
Of course, this will all be followed by more torture, but never mind that!
“No big deal, now hurry to the theater.”
“Not rushing. I have a lot to handle. And the headquarters needs an update.”
“Ah~ how bothersome…how about we forget about it?”
“Not possible!”
Mo Rabbit politely refused, a slight smile curling her lips.
She suddenly remembered the many issues awaiting Ye Lan’s attention here.
“By the way, Audience Performer, I forgot to mention before that through promotion, I made the Star Eclipses of Hero Cemetery aware of your feats, and they all wish to follow a certain Night Lan, their new Night Watcher. What do you think?”
“Whaaat? What’s going on?”
Nyx was caught off guard.
Mo Rabbit briefly explained the situation.
“You see, there are hundreds of Star Eclipses who want to follow Night Lan to restore social order and satisfy their obsessions – that’s basically the story.”
“Wow, really?”
Nyx’s eyes bulged in astonishment, finally comprehending.
“So that’s what they mean by evangelization?”
So this cult leader is actually her?!
Swiftly moving towards Mo Rabbit, Nyx grabbed her collar, veins visibly popping out of her forehead with fury.
“Are you insane!? You caused all this trouble for me! You’re dead, Mo Rabbit! I’d k*ll you a thousand times over!”
Mo Rabbit maintained a steady composure, soothing her down.
“Don’t be upset, this means expanding Night Lan’s reach. How can that be considered a hassle? If managed well, you’ll achieve your goals faster.”
“Uh…”
Nyx released Mo Rabbit’s collar, deflating like a balloon.
“I won’t let you off without a detailed explanation.”
“Sure, sure.”
Now reassured, Mo Rabbit began explaining her plans.
The existence of the Graveyard Star Eclipses is crucial.
Unlike other Star Eclipses, they were originally Night Watchers themselves, making them easier to accept for the current Night Watchers.
Plus, their obsessions tend to be relatively calm.
Eliminating their pollution defects would enable their rapid utilization.
Only Night Lan can do this.
Thanks to Mo Rabbit’s efforts, those Graveyard Star Eclipses are already set on following Night Lan.
Their wills are unshakable.
Not even the existing Night Watcher organizations can sway them.
According to a previous Star Eclipse’s thoughts.
It would make sense for living Night Watcher Leaders to become Star Eclipses to lead them.
Otherwise, no one else could alter their will.
In this regard,
This huge power is now under Night Lan’s control.
Should the Night Watcher Night Lan wield such power, he would undoubtedly gain significant prestige.
His name would soar within Night Watcher circles.
After all, transforming an anarchic force into the first orderly constellation among the Night Watchers is a pioneering event.
Many Night Watchers would shift views, becoming less resistant to the idea of orderly Star Eclipses.
With the first instance set, it becomes easier to welcome the Rising Sun Theater Group.
Given its gradual transition towards orderly Star Eclipses under Audience Performer’s influence.
And with the right catalyst, Night Lan’s plan will easily come to fruition.
Listening, Nyx fell into deep thought, clenching her fists and palms together.
“This seems like a pretty good idea.”
Mo Rabbit smiled.
“Told you! Why would I ever do something to harm the Audience Performer? As a team member, of course I aim to bring great things to the Audience Performer~”
“Huh, even so, somehow it feels like I’ll lose a lot of nap time… Could this be your vengeful act?”
“How could it? Life is about give and take. Losing some leisure is a trade-off for advancing the plan, which will benefit you in the end. The sooner your goals are met, the sooner you can relax. Isn’t that a win?”
Thinking through Mo Rabbit’s reasoning, Nyx nodded seriously.
“Yes, it does seem like it.”
