Chapter 810 Archetype: Earth
The following events could not be attended by outsiders, so Roman and the other two were "invited" out of the Millennium Castle, leaving only Fujimaru Ritsuka and Arcueid.

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head and said:

"Speaking of which, how exactly do we do 'combination' and all that?"

Arcueid pondered:
"The specific process is a bit complicated to explain, but you don't need to do anything, just leave everything to me."

"Okay, let's begin."

"Don't you have any other questions?"

"Anything else?"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's clear yet questioning gaze, Arcueid gave a helpless smile and continued:
"Actually... it's nothing, let's begin."

Guided by Arcueid, Fujimaru Ritsuka extended her right hand and gently placed it in Arcueid's palm.

The next moment, a faint glow gradually emanated from the two of them. At the same time, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her, and with Arcueid's gentle nod, she obediently closed her eyes.

……

...

What is it like to become Earth UO – Archetype: Earth?
For Fujimaru Ritsuka, it was as if she had gone through a long slumber.

In that dreamland where the passage of time was forgotten, she seemed to see the life of Earth: born from a massive explosion, coalescing into the shape of a planet, with oceans and continents gradually forming on the surface, and countless lives emerging as a result…

She witnessed the evolution and extinction of life...

She witnessed the birth of humankind and the rule of gods over the world...

She saw an alien fleet descend, and white giants invade...

She witnessed the development of human civilization, and...

The end of Earth...

"—Ritsuka, Ritsuka..."

Suddenly, the voice calling her grew clearer, pulling her from her dream. She groggily opened her eyes and saw Arcueid standing before her, smiling as he said:

"You're finally awake. It's all over successfully."

"Successfully completed...?"

Upon hearing this, past scenes and conversations involuntarily surfaced in her mind, and her previously dazed eyes immediately snapped back to reality as she began to examine her body.

Outwardly, nothing seemed to have changed, so she closed her eyes and tried to sense it carefully, but strangely, she didn't perceive any extra power or other obvious changes.

All of this was as if she had simply taken a nap.

"Did it really end smoothly?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said doubtfully:
"But why don't I feel anything? It's as if nothing has changed?"

"Because there was a slight mishap."

"……what?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka stared at her with wide eyes, giving her a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"

What does it mean to say that something 'went smoothly' but 'had a slight mishap'?
Seeing this, Arcueid didn't explain immediately, but instead reached out and grabbed her right hand, smiling:
"That should make it clear to you."

The moment the words left her lips, a faint light emanated from both of them. Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly felt as if she had merged with Arcueid, becoming one with him. Infinite power surged forth from within her, and in the next instant, she seemed to see a blue planet—

Although she was still in the City of a Thousand Years, her perspective seemed to suddenly leap into the universe, taking in the entire shape of the Earth. At the same time, she could feel that the Earth itself was connected to her, and that she could control all the resources on Earth at will if she wanted to.

This feeling was somewhat similar to when Gaia from the Conan world possessed her; it was similar to the feeling she had when she borrowed Gaia's abilities, but much broader and more expansive...

"—Seriously, are you thinking about the will of other planets at a time like this?"

Suddenly, a disgruntled voice rang out, startling Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"who is it?!"

She quickly looked around warily, but found no suspicious figures.

Stop looking around, I'm right in front of you!

"before?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the Earth before her, her expression shifting from wariness to surprise, and finally to hesitation.

"You are……?"

Just then, Arcueid suddenly appeared beside her, gracefully bowing slightly to the Earth before her:
"Greetings, Mother."

"Hmm!" So it really is Gaia, the will of Earth?

Fujimaru Ritsuka finally realized what was happening, and feeling relieved, she noticed some details—

Although Gaia's voice sounds genderless, it inexplicably gives the impression that the owner of the voice is female.

And she was a young girl with a mouth full of fishy nonsense.

"I'm not a little girl! But what does 'a mouth full of junk' mean?"

"—! You were spying on my thoughts?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was startled by this, but before Gaia could answer, Arcueid explained:

“Here, the three of us are connected and understand each other, so even superficial thoughts can be heard directly.”

"I see."

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized, but the thought of exposing her innermost thoughts to others made her feel a little awkward.

"What's so awkward about it!"

Gaia said smugly:
"Although you may seem a bit slow, you are still my daughter and my representative. There's absolutely no need for you to hide anything from me!"

"Besides, I already know you quite well!"

But at this point, it finally couldn't help but chuckle to itself.

"Hehehe, my proxy, I finally have my own Ultimate One! Hehehe...!"

Upon seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka was immediately speechless.

Although the other person's words seemed to be comforting her, she really didn't want to be called 'stupid' by this kind of guy!

"!"

Sensing her thoughts, Gaia froze for a moment, falling silent, trying to pretend nothing had happened. But her shyness was still clearly conveyed to the two people present.

Shy Earth... suddenly seems kind of cute.

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought.

Speaking of which, Gaia just called her "my daughter," while Gaia in the Conan world calls her "Mom." Does that mean Gaia and Gaia are grandmother and granddaughter?
"...That's not a bad way to put it."

Gaia's voice, feigning seriousness, came through:

"In that case, next time you have the chance, you can bring that little guy over so I can meet him."

"Uh, next time for sure."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his head, wondering how he should guide the will of this planet.

"I don't know either, so I'll leave it to you to handle. You're my proxy now!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Gaia's confident statement brought a wry smile to her face. At the same time, she cast a pleading look at Arcueid beside her. Arcueid smiled knowingly and then said to Gaia:

"Then, Mother, we'll be leaving now."

"Ok!"

……

...

Back in the Millennium Castle, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Arcueid, who was standing nearby, laughed:

“Now, you and I have become Archetype: Earth. Whenever you are on Earth or with me, you can call upon the full power of Archetype: Earth.”

"I see."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, then, recalling the conversation from earlier, asked:

"If that's the case, then what exactly was this 'accident' you mentioned earlier?"

"Um,"

Arcueid hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Didn't you notice?"

"You are still human now."
