The android girl will not dream of the fairy knight sister

　"Did you say it? Really? And Moriarty didn't say anything just now because he was scared by you two!"

　Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka seriously teaching the girl the so-called secret language, Kadok held his forehead helplessly.

　"What a pity!"

　"Sorry... so..."

　After a moment of daze, Moriarty came back to his senses from the three sounds of the door opening.

　"Open sesame."

　The moment the words fell, the entire ground began to vibrate, and regular square cracks began to slowly emerge on the ground in front, like some kind of mechanism.

　A piece of the ground disappeared, and in its place was a staircase full of steps leading directly to the underground.

　"Are you going underground?"

　"So, are you going down, or not? Do you have the courage to go forward?"

　An intriguing smile appeared on Moriarty's face, but it didn't last long.

　"Of course we are moving forward!"

　"Yes!"

　"The great adventure begins!"

　"You are too casual!"

　Cadoc and Moriarty uttered the same words together.

　"Let's go forward..."

　"That's right..."

　-

　The firelight illuminated the surrounding environment for everyone, and the metallic-lustered stairs came into everyone's sight.

　My heart is constantly resisting something.

　This is not something that can appear in this era.

　Artifacts, full of modern and contemporary atmosphere.

　Everything around has been specially reinforced. It is more like a passage leading to some important facilities underground than a secret passage.

　It's like a facility specially built and reinforced to prevent modern earth-penetrating weapons.

　An ominous premonition continued to ferment in my heart, and the depth underground continued to increase.

　Even though Zhang Jue's body appeared before their eyes, it did not cause the slightest ripple. Everyone knew that there was something more important here.

　Keep moving forward until light appears ahead.

　The girl dispersed the flames, and a strange light was reflected in her pupils.

　The pace of progress began to become heavier.

　The corridor of the universe finally came into view.

　I was speechless, not knowing what to say, and unable to express myself. My heart felt as if it was about to be completely shattered by the immense pressure.

　Kadoc wanted to divert his gaze, but everything around him seemed to have life and kept pouring into his eyes.

　"What I must show you is right ahead. Let's go and see where this singularity begins."

　The pace continued and no one spoke.

　Infinitely admiring a scene that is both beautiful and disgusting, or perhaps there is actually no time to even feel fear.

　There's a feeling of being at a dead end.

　A very unpleasant feeling kept flashing through my mind. It was like a person walking on the mountains in the dark night, with endless darkness under your feet. And when you look up to see the stars to determine the direction -

　The stars are no longer what they once were.

　I was certain that I would see something very bad next.

　"The Master of the singularity is just ahead. Needless to say, his actions are a revenge for pan-human history.

　490

　He has the right to retaliate, and at the same time, he is in a position where he must do so, and has the obligation and responsibility to do so."

　"Even if he himself had no such thoughts of revenge. His existence forced him to be in that position, and you all know what happened after that. But I want to let you know now, including you, Sieg-senpai."

　"In 2017, starting from Area 51 in Nevada, United States of America—"

　The pupils of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu and Kadoc suddenly shrank.

　Moriarty slowly pushed open the heavy door.

　What appeared before my eyes was a scene that was both natural and incredible.

　I've experienced a lot and seen a lot of things, some amazing, some not. But this is the first time I've felt the wonder of something I take for granted.

　The vision was rejecting, and the reason was screaming loudly, warning me to close my eyes.

　"Finally, let me introduce myself to everyone."

　Reipons began to emerge from Moriarty and Charlemagne's bodies.

　"This is the origin of everything in the singularity. A life form that landed on Earth 100 years ago. Due to various experiments conducted on it during that time, it is filled with hatred for humans—"

　"Subject—e."

　The girl looked at everything in front of her, at the branch-like figure lying on the operating table, at the human figure collapsed beneath the table, only a patchwork of blood vessels remaining. A light emanated from her pupils...

　From now on, she has completely embarked on a different path, and the previous Sieg can no longer help her...

　This is the retribution for mankind and the sin of mankind.

　Sin cannot be avoided. When you relax one day, it will crawl up your back, constantly caress your cheeks, and use all kinds of means to make you notice it.

　And once you can't bear it anymore and turn back——

　Then you will see the consequences.

　Interlude: Twenty: What You Think Is Right

　"What on earth is this—"

　Mashu was speechless as she looked at the scenery in front of her, which not only shocked her visually but also affected her rationality.

　"An operating room and... a body... presumably a living being..."

　Kadoc's pupils kept trembling, and everything she saw was gradually overturning her entire worldview as a magician and the master of Chaldea.

　Sanity has begun to collapse.

　"...Intuitively speaking, this person..."

　With a grim face, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the humanoid corpse lying beside the operating table, with only blood vessels left, and slowly spoke.

　"Ah... yes... intuitively, I can infer that this person is the Master of all the Servants in this singularity... Although Moriarty said "Subject: e"..."

　Kadoc subconsciously narrowed one of his eyes, and cold sweat continued to slide down his cheek drop by drop.

　"No, the subject Moriarty was referring to was the tree branch on the operating table. The person in front of me is just an ordinary human corpse."

　The girl spoke slowly and corrected several people's misunderstandings.

　Indeed, based on what Moriarty said, anyone would subconsciously assume that the bodies made of blood vessels were samples and experimental subjects.

　After all, the existence of this space itself is extremely natural yet unreasonable, which makes people subconsciously ignore the existence of the branch-like structure.

　"You mean... that branch—"

　Kadoc suddenly opened his eyes wide and stopped talking.

　"Cadoch?"

　Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looked at Kadoc with doubtful eyes. Kadoc was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke:

　"Imagination Tree..."

　The moment they heard this word, everyone's pupils suddenly shrank.

　The universe is contained within the imaginary tree, and within the universe is the world itself.

　The girl narrowed her eyes immediately.

　The deviation started to get bigger and bigger from this moment on.

　Although the method is unknown, the previous Sieg did "solve" the so-called blank slate, and humanity returned to its previous state. However, shortly after 5000 AD, humanity was once again wiped out.

　The year 5000 AD was the death of the Earth, which led to the extinction of mankind, but is this really the case?

　There was something completely out of the ordinary hidden, not even a hint of it.

　The death of the Earth is an extremely long process. It is impossible for a planet to disappear in an instant, and then human beings, who are like parasites, will disappear in an instant.

　From the blank slate solution to the land of steel, there must be something else in between.

　In other words, something had been hidden since the beginning of the Lostbelt, and it was activated when Sieg returned to the inner sea of ​​the star to continue waiting.

　There is no destruction in the world without reason. All destruction must have a reason.

　beginning

　491

　...

　So, where did this beginning come from? Where was the trigger of destruction pulled?

　How long did the bullet fly before it hit the target?

　"Sorry! I stopped thinking and started collecting information about my surroundings!"

　As Mashu spoke, she put on her combat goggles, and a blue light wave emanated from her shield, scanning the entire room.

　"Yes, please take care of the scans and such. I also need to check if my technique can be activated normally. Although it won't yield any results, after all, with such modern equipment, it seems that there is no room for magic to appear-"

　His pupils suddenly shrank, and the words were abruptly stopped on his lips. The magic that was activated was forcibly terminated.

　The next second, just as the girl swung the Balmung in her hand, the figure of the alien priestess quietly disappeared, and the whole room began to shake violently.

　"Mashu! Kadoc! Sieg! This is not good!"

　"I know! Don't scream suddenly, it's scary! But I've seen this expression on your face many times! Mashu, speed up the scan!"

　"That's not necessary."

　The calm voice reached the ears of the three panicked people.

　At a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, the entire secret room was covered in a moment, and the collapse stopped.

　"..."

　The alien witch remained silent, her hand stretched out in mid-air suddenly froze, as if all this had gone beyond her expectations and was now difficult for her to handle.

　"I have analyzed almost everything here. Even if it was destroyed by you, I can easily restore it."

　As the girl spoke, the magic circuits that spread out emitted a dazzling light, and the cracks that spread like spider webs on the wall were instantly restored to their original state.

　The girl's blurry figure is reflected on the metallic surface.

　Tilting her head slightly in confusion, the miko placed her palm on the wall covered with magic circuits and activated her ability.

　Then nothing happened.

　After confirming that her ability really didn't work, the witch quickly moved away from all magic circuits.

　She was fully aware that the other party had more authority than her.

　No one wants to be an enemy of the planet. Even the alien gods have never thought about fighting with creatures at the same level or even higher than themselves.

　Immediately afterwards, a crisp snap of fingers was heard, and a dazzling light flashed by, leaving only the girl and the witch in the room.

　The two of them looked at each other calmly.

　-

　Don't go any further. This is what your brain, your consciousness, or the world is saying to you.
