Chapter 951 Flanna
As soon as he reached the room, Kisuke flipped all the switches that would release the clone and placed it on a clean bed, "I already gave you the way to this place. Stop wasting time and take it." Kisuke said out loud while taking some distance from the clone.
Immediately after, the clone was caught in a deep red fire and floated up. And while this was happening, a suffocating amount of Draconic Aura instantly welled up from the body and began destroying everything within the room.
Kisuke just watched this calmly while thinking, 'So no one really knows this guy's true nature of existence. Not even Ophis-chan... Well, no one would really think that he might be an immortal since no one could kill him in the first place.'
In a span of a minute, Ophis' clone began to grow until it reached a late teen stage if Ophis could age. But unlike the transformation Ophis did before with a huge chest, this one remained modest for the most part. Aside from that, the black hair also grew longer until it could reach its knees and a bright red color tinted it.
A few more minutes later, the clone opened its eyes revealing a deep red iris and golden pupil while also releasing a massive amount of Draconic Aura that caved in the sturdy walls of the laboratory, "I'm back, babyyy~~~!!! Fuhahahahaha!!!"
Her loud voice prompted Kisuke to cover his ears, "You're loud. Pipe down and stop destroying my stuff."
The red-haired 'Ophis' slowly floated down on her feet and reigned in her aura, "Ah, boss! Sorry about that!" Alas, she wasn't able to fully understand what Kisuke meant and created shockwaves with her voice.
As she started laughing out loud once again on her own, Kisuke could only keep his mouth shut and wait out this storm. He, however, noticed another stark difference she has from Ophis and that is a lively exaggerated cowlick (ahoge) dancing left and right on top of her head, 'How does that even work? Is that the replacement for her horn?'
A minute went by and the grown 'Ophis' finally stopped, "What do you think of my plan this time, boss? Isn't this worthy of praise!? Now I can finally properly act like a boss from the shadows I am! Fuhahahahaha!!!"
And another laughing spree, 'Where did the consciousness break? When he's killed? Or is it when he fuses with the body?'
Returning the time to a week ago, Great Red felt the Evie called Regalzeva trying to break through the thick chaos of the Dimensional Gap and concluded that he wouldn't be able to win against him. With that in mind, Great Red immediately started making plans and the first thing that went into his mind was the fact that he's the 'secret boss' of Kisuke's 'organization'.
Seeing the light of finally fulfilling his role, Great Red immediately contacted Kisuke and started making demands that are borderline unreasonable.
First, was for Kisuke to create a new body for himself as fast as possible. This isn't a problem if Great Red could provide his own flesh but since the enemy was already on his doorstep, Great Red had no way of doing this because it might've alerted the enemy. Even then, Great Red still forced Kisuke to do it one way or another.
Although Kisuke still had bits of flesh and blood of Great Red from reconstructing Akeno and Irina's bodies, it was already too old and too few that it might've caused significant errors trying to replicate the Dragon. In that case, Kisuke could only opt for the nearest possible available substitute and that would be Ophis's flesh and blood.
Even then, that clearly had its own set of problems. First, despite being as strong as Great Red, Ophis' attribute doesn't go along with Great Red's so he first had to clear out the 'Infinity'. Second, Ophis is a true shapeshifter and whatever form she takes, it's her true form. In other words, if Kisuke gets the flesh and blood of the current Ophis, it'll be that of a 'little girl' and Great Red won't have any way to change that even though he's technically genderless.
So the moment Great Red's consciousness entered the body based on the 'little girl' Ophis, he locked himself into a biologically female body and the only way to change this is to discard it.
Nevertheless, this isn't really a problem for Great Red and her body changing into a mature form is his attribute setting in.
The very reason he could do something like discarding his body is that he's the lord of dreams making his existence closer to a spirit or ethereal and his body was only made out of convenience and a long, long time. As long as 'dreams' in this world exist, he'd never truly die unless he was separated from them.
As for the next borderline unreasonable, Great Red wanted to hide the fact that he was alive with Kisuke's help. With Kisuke's help because he won't be able to reliably do it on his own and his insistence on this because he wanted the 'secret' in secret boss to come true.
Thankfully, this is also a relatively advantageous situation for Kisuke so he agreed.
"Yeah, yeah. It was a good plan to escape the spotlight and lurk within the shadows." Kisuke flatly replied after her laughter ceased, "Put on some clothes."
Of course, not having any facility for shyness or even understanding the concept of shame of exposure, Great Red proudly placed both of her hands on her waist, "Clothes? I have no need for such inane things!"
Kisuke already expected this response so he took out a fashion book. More specifically, a very rare fashion book aimed at those suffering from a certain middle-schooler disease could also be considered a cosplay book.
Although she had no direct human experience like Ophis, Great Red was still fully aware of what she's looking at. Not about the disease, but the aesthetics that captured her fancy.
Great Red hurriedly grabbed the book but as she's not yet used to her body, her touch instantly disintegrated the paper, "...Ah..." A sorrowful sound escaped her mouth.
Expecting it again, Kisuke took out another copy of the book, "Be careful this time."
"Boss!" Great Red almost cried tears of joy as she slowly and carefully handled the book this time.
Great Red directly sprawled on the messy floor to browse through various fashion attire with shining eyes when a certain question entered her mind. Since she would be hiding the fact that she's alive, she would need a new name. However, after a few seconds of trying, she gave up and delegated the task to Kisuke like the true secret boss she is.
Kisuke thought about it for a moment before saying, "Let's go with Flanna."
"Flanna?"
"It means something very great and red." Finding it troublesome, Kisuke lied through his teeth. In fact, Flanna only meant red-haired in Irish.
"Really!?"
Kisuke nodded with all seriousness, "Really."
"Fuhahahaha!!! From now on, I shall be named, Flanna!"
Great Red, or rather, Flanna was in a celebratory mood when she saw Kisuke pointing down. As she followed his finger, she saw the book was shredded by her shockwave laughter, "...Nooooo........"
