I scrambled to fix the mess in a frenzy:
Stashed Ragna's corpse in my real storage zone. (It was a splattered disaster thanks to me, so I patched it up to stable condition… though it's still dead as a doornail.)
Copied Ragna's data with Perfect Shapeshift LV.100, slapped it onto a 5% fake body item I had prepped, and stuffed it.
Created a fake Ragna with Create Clone 100% + Perfect Shapeshift LV.100. Boom—identical Ragna, down to the last detail… except I'm controlling this one. So, what, I'm the genderless strongest boss now?
No way! I'm not sticking around as a genderless boss forever! (My inner perv kicked in, so I used CurseHBless to check if anyone—anyone—knew Ragna's true form. Spoiler: nobody did, not even the goddess.) To make it extra convincing, I tweaked things a bit. Say hello to Trueform: Triss the Ragna!
Triss? Yeah, she's long dead in the real world, but I pulled her body data from ol' uncle's memories and mashed it with Ragna's. The original Ragna—big, dragon-vibes-in-armor—morphed into a girl in dragon-shaped armor. When the stage was set, I sent it back with a dummy slime, transformed from dust, to get "smashed" by Ragna on the floor.
Ugh… what the heck am I even doing? This is so embarrassing and utterly ridiculous!
You're probably thinking, "You went that far?" Yup, I went that far.
All this happened in, like, 4-5 seconds.
As I, now in Ragna's body (a girl's body, mind you)…

…stood poised with my greatsword raised, waiting for the other Huslimes to show up, only to collapse as you saw at the start…
This feels like the most absurd, botched spoiler of a final boss fight ever. I completely wrecked it. Guilt's hitting me hard… but there's no going back. Nope, no take-backs. I've officially become Ragna.
And that answers the question we've all been waiting for: Can I copy everything from Ragna?
Verdict: Yup, I can. I'm the perfect Ragna—complete with a hint of 12-13-year-old-girl boobage? Heck, with my tweaks, I'm more than perfect. So, this place and Ragna itself? Definitely not a "Player" from the other side.
Sorry, everyone. From here on out, I'm feeling a weird kind of unhinged.
You ever just snap? Like, you save money forever, then overspend a little and blow it all. Or you diet and exercise for ages, slip up with a big meal, and then ditch the gym to binge-eat for weeks.
Right now? I've snapped. Since CurseHBless confirmed no one outside this dungeon is watching, and the boss is toast… why leave anything behind?!
I went full madman—cloning and wiping out every living thing in this dungeon, stashing their corpses. Non-living stuff? Even the dungeon itself—the real deal—got yoinked into my Collection zone. Then, I copied the entire dungeon from scratch using "bits of the current Ragna-girl" and rebooted it. Now, Ragna (me) is the Mastermind running every single thing in this dungeon.
Yup, every monster in this place is under my control from now on. In the future, I'll make it a breeze for heroes to farm items here. Don't worry, folks—Root Towers in other continents might be brutal, but this one? It won't kill you. Why? Because I'm Ragna and Root Tower, baby!
End of Chapter 40
I'm Ragna and Root Tower, Baby!
