Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

Ultimately, the freed Emperor Flower, under that guy's command, used its [Domain Destruction] talent to smash a large hole in the imaginary space created by BB, successfully salvaging the entire sunken old school building.

Although she wasn't a high-level combat AI, Candy Vine believed she still possessed basic analytical abilities.

The fact that BB's summoned tentacles could feel "fear" and even spit them out like they were getting rid of a plague proves that the danger level of that guy has reached an unimaginable level.

Why did you have to pick trouble with him of all people?

The candy vine looked at the unconscious violet on the ground, shook its head with pity, and muttered to itself.

"Clap!"

A crisp clapping sound rang out, and Samael, with a smile, picked up the unconscious Violet, drawing the attention of the entire battlefield.

The Emperor Flower, Dissolve Lilith and BB, and Passionate Lips, who were engaged in fierce battle, all stopped fighting and looked at Samael in front of the old school building.

"The game's over, how about we talk?"

"Does this mean a formal date? Or does it mean you're about to start a passionate romance with your senior?"

Upon hearing this, BB's face lit up with joy, and she blushed shyly.

Before the aggrieved Samael could react, Lilith, who had been dissolving, saw her smiling "mother" and her blood rushed to her head, her face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

"shut up!"

Sexual harassment is absolutely prohibited!

Mashu, standing nearby, stepped forward to shield her Master, who had just been abducted, and glared angrily at the mastermind behind it all.

"Obviously it was me first..."

BB squatted on the ground, muttering aggrievedly as he drew circles with the pointer in his hand.

Seeing that the little devil opposite her was getting more and more into her performance, Hinako Akuta finally lost her temper and, with a dark face, steered the conversation back on track.

"Tell me, where have you hidden the Chaldea people?"

BB blinked and revealed a bright and innocent smile.

"Don't worry, they are safe."

"We have hostages too! Don't try anything funny, hand over our people now!"

The impatient Hinako decisively pointed her sword at Violet's neck, looking at the person opposite her with an unfriendly expression.

"Hostages? When did we take them hostage?" BB looked confused, then smiled nonchalantly, gazing tenderly at Samael. "Never mind, think what you want. Anyway, I only told the secret to you, Senior..."

Samael raised his hand and pressed down on Hinako, whose face was full of black lines. His eyes flickered and he seemed to be deep in thought.

"It was you who protected Chaldea?"

Upon hearing this, Hinako Akuta and Mashu were immediately stunned.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Beginning of the Cataclysm, The Threshold of the Blazing Sky

"what are you saying?"

Hinako Akuta almost thought she had misheard.

Samael raised his head, his deep gaze sweeping over the Sakura Five and BB, and spoke leisurely.

"Don't you understand? Mooncell's guards haven't betrayed us at all. On the contrary, they are the ones protecting Chaldea."

BB gave a half-smile, neither confirming nor denying.

Mashu was still somewhat confused by her senior's judgment.

"Then why did they attack us before?"

"To be precise, the order I received was not to 'annihilate,' but to 'recover.'"

Standing on the other side, Lilith lowered her arms from her chest and added calmly.

"Recycle all members of Chaldea into the Mooncell..."

Hinako Akuta and Mashu looked at each other blankly, and couldn't help but see the same confusion in each other's eyes.

What does it mean to recycle it back into Mooncell?

"Ta-da! BB Channel is now open! It's time for some fun commentary!"

Just as the two were racking their brains, BB across from them stood up with a grin, hands on his hips, chest puffed out. A pair of black-rimmed glasses had appeared on his nose, making him look very dignified.

Several Sakura machines behind them skillfully unfolded a screen, activated the projector, and served as a backdrop.

At the same time, a strange panoramic view also appears:

In a deep blue world resembling the deep sea and the starry sky, a luminous humanoid figure with a large bow and distinctly feminine features floats silently in a prone position, like a sleeping giant in the deep sea and starry sky, exuding a unique beauty and attraction.

Hinako Akuta and Mashu were captivated by the projection on the screen and became completely mesmerized.

"Clap!"

A pointer tapped the edge of the white screen, drawing everyone's attention.

BB adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, cleared his throat, adopted a serious expression as if he were teaching a class, and began to speak solemnly.

"Ahem, let me formally introduce ourselves. This is where you all are currently located!"

The pointer slides upwards, pointing to a position on the back of the light-shaped human figure that corresponds to the uterus.

The entire scene was magnified dramatically, and through the surface light, the crisscrossing blood vessels inside the girl's body came into view.

It was a maze of layers that overlapped and surrounded each other.

The ones represented by red dots are located at the core of the maze.

"This is……"

"The true face of the entire Mooncell system."

Samael looked at the projection on the white screen and spoke calmly, his face showing little emotion, as if he had expected it.

Hinako Akuta weakly raised her hand and blinked blankly.

"Uh, I meant to ask why it was designed this way?"

That's really befitting of your academic level, where you even cheat on academic papers. Seriously, didn't Kunlun give you any basic education?

Samael muttered to himself as he turned around and gave Hinako a disdainful glare before speaking in an annoyed tone.

"I think it uses the concept of the human body as a microcosm,"

"Bingo!"

BB snapped his fingers in front of the screen, his eyes showing approval, as if praising a good student who actively participated in class. He then took back control and began to speak eloquently.

"According to our understanding, the universe was born from the Big Bang. The will of the gods, which was liberated by the Big Bang, collided with the fragments of the universe, creating the stars that shine in the sky, and thus forming the universe world that life can inhabit."

Therefore, the will of the gods can be said to be the origin of life and the world, creating the vast and boundless universe in which we live.

According to legend, humans were created by the gods based on themselves.

Correspondingly, humankind itself possesses the divine qualities of creation and nurturing, resembling a subtly functioning microcosm.

After testing, it was found that designing the Mooncell system in this form maximizes data capacity and allows the entire system to run and perform simulations perfectly, much like a universe..."

As the saying goes, "A flower contains a world, a leaf contains a Bodhi tree."

From a certain perspective, the human body is a microcosm, a tiny world of immense power.

In the human body, every cell, tissue, and organ is like a component of a microcosm, brimming with astonishing power and potential. They collaborate with each other throughout human life, maintaining our survival and demonstrating the infinite possibilities of the human body as a microcosm.

Take, for example, the simplest exchange of matter. The human body is a sophisticated ecosystem, composed of billions of cells. These cells need to constantly exchange matter with the external environment to maintain their life activities. For instance, humans need to breathe oxygen to provide energy, while also exhaling carbon dioxide to maintain internal chemical balance. In addition, humans need to ingest food and water to maintain internal stability. This microscopic exchange of matter demonstrates the self-regulating and adaptive capabilities of the human body as a microcosm.

Secondly, the human body possesses a powerful immune system that protects it from disease. This system comprises many components, including various immune cells and molecules. When pathogens invade the body, the immune system rapidly activates its defense mechanisms, including producing antibodies, triggering inflammation, and killing the pathogens. This microscopic defense demonstrates the protective and survival capabilities of the human body as a microcosm.

This defensive immune system is like the guardians and Sakura machines navigating the "vascular maze" within the Mooncell system.

That's it!

After BB teacher's explanation, Hinako Akuta suddenly understood.

But Mashu was still somewhat confused, her expression serious.

"That's still not right. What about those monsters that have been attacking us all along the way?"

Awakening in the medical room, on their journey to find their predecessors, deformed monsters emerge from every corner of the maze, launching attacks on them in various forms.

Mashu is very sensitive to malice; the purpose of those things is definitely not the so-called "recycling".

"The answer is simple: when people get sick, it's not our responsibility, but rather the viruses from the outside world and the mutated malignant cells that have been infected."

BB tapped the projection screen, and several ferocious mechanical hounds and paper-thin humanoid monsters were projected in front of everyone.

These were none other than the Devourers and Shapeshifters that they had encountered before.

"You're not in cahoots!"

Mashu suddenly realized where the unease she had felt along the way came from.

The Devourer, the Shapeshifter, and the Guardian and Sakura Machine before them are in distinctly different states.

One side only knows destruction and killing, while the other side is intelligent, obedient, and can communicate easily.

It turns out they were actually two opposing camps.

BB nodded and smiled slightly.

"That's right, the maze itself was designed to isolate these [viruses]."

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Mashu, and her biggest question was answered.

"Therefore, after the entire Moocell system became diseased, you, the immune system, were also activated. To avoid collateral damage, everyone in Chaldea was isolated and sealed off by you, like cells that had fallen into dormancy!"

In fact, about 70% of the human body remains in a dormant state. Of the remaining 30%, bad cells account for about 5%, and active cells account for only about 25% of the total.

These guards' so-called "recycling" is equivalent to treating Chaldea's employees as frozen cells, isolating them.

We will thaw and revive the animals once everything returns to normal.

At this moment, Samael, who had been listening quietly, pointed around and spoke softly.

"By the way, are these the monsters you mentioned?"

Suddenly, one after another, ferocious mechanical hounds and paper-thin humanoid monsters poured out from the broken gaps in the maze, approaching the people on the ruins. Their flashing electronic eyes and floating points of light exuded a strong sense of malice.

Again!

Everyone's expression changed slightly, and they all assumed defensive stances, unconsciously huddling together.

"Take care of them first!"

Samael made the suggestion, and both sides nodded in agreement, temporarily halting the tense standoff and launching an attack on the shapeshifters and devourers that were closing in, like a surging current that separated the monsters.

Among them, the Emperor Flower's performance was undoubtedly the most eye-catching. With a wave of its two huge hands, hundreds of deformed monsters were slapped into pieces. Its two legs, even when simply walking, could crush the layers of Devourers and Shapeshifters that gathered together.

"Ouch——"

The playful Hua Hua dressed up as a monster and moved through hordes of shapeshifters and devourers as if they were nothing.

Samael, who was watching from a distance, watched for a while and roughly summarized the three major killing moves of the Emperor Flower.

Swatting mosquitoes, digging potatoes, and getting a flick on the forehead...

Under the devastation of this giant, thousands of shapeshifters and devourers that had escaped from the labyrinth were swiftly annihilated.

Immediately afterwards, BB directed the Sakura Machines to pile up the remains of these monsters.

Seeing the familiar scene of Lilith crouching in front of the wreckage and reaching out to touch it, Mash suddenly remembered that when she encountered this guard for the second time in the infirmary corridor, she was in the same posture.

"Are you purifying them?"

As the horde of monster remains before her dissipated into bubbles, Lilith turned around, clapped her hands, and nodded slightly.

"My method of dissolving viruses is one of the few ways that can completely purify them."

"Hehehe, flowers are fine too!"

The protea, squatting nearby, proudly raised its head, its divine buds seemingly blooming even more.

Samael smiled as he stroked the head of the protea that had come closer, his eyes gleaming thoughtfully.

It seems that when they first met, Lilith, who was assigned to the infirmary area, was actually there to clean up the Devourers that had escaped from the maze.

There, Lilith not only encountered the Devourer, but also Mash, who remained conscious and was active outside.
