Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

At this moment, the five members of Sakura, who were around them, were briefly dazed by the series of changes. When they came to their senses, they also felt the goodwill released by Sesshouin.

Although the atmosphere between the two sides has eased somewhat, the Sakuras, as the "Guardians," instinctively feel a sense of rejection towards getting close to Sesshouin.

It seems that their ingrained instincts made them instinctively wary of this woman and keep their distance.

Samael neither confirmed nor denied this, and did not insist.

She hadn't forgotten the diary in the infirmary.

Despite the high-sounding and righteous words of Sesshouin, she is definitely partly to blame for the internal corruption of the Mooncell system.

Why does she never mention this matter?

Women are the most deceitful creatures.

The prettier the better...

Samael muttered a curse to himself but did not pursue the matter further.

As a leader, sometimes you need to be amiable, blend in with the crowd, and sometimes it's good to be a little oblivious.

Just as the group was talking, the quiet person next to them finally couldn't hold back any longer and timidly raised their hand, asking in a low voice.

"Senior, Miss Qihuang, what should we do now?"

"Of course we must strike at the heart of the enemy and wipe out that so-called troublemaker without leaving a single survivor!"

Akuta Hinako raised an eyebrow and impatiently summoned two swords, her pretty face, which was tinged with a cold smile, radiating murderous intent.

She wasn't the type to think things through, so she hated anything that required mental effort.

Rather than spending time and effort analyzing clues and getting closer to the truth, she would rather pick up her greatsword and finely chop the culprit who was causing trouble behind the scenes into mincemeat.

But before that, we need to drag Him out from the shadows.

Hinako Akuta naturally looked at her "external brain" and asked with a cold snort.

"Hey, after talking for so long, where is that bastard?!"

"It's right outside..."

"Outside?"

Upon hearing this, Hinako instinctively stood at the edge of the [Cage of Blazing Heaven] and looked around at the labyrinthine ruins on the outside.

The five members of Sakura's group next to them also turned their heads and looked around.

Don't you guys use your brains normally?

Seeing this, Samael remained silent for a while, but finally couldn't help but complain.

"Since the Mooncell system's function is to use the human body as a microcosm, isolating the inside from the outside and establishing a separate circulatory system to ensure the safety of the entire Chaldea and all its personnel, then what do you think is outside of that isolated entity?"

The Mooncell system...outside?

Hearing the resentment hidden in those weak words, Hinako Akuta and the five members of Sakura suddenly realized what was going on and reluctantly withdrew their wandering gazes.

Having revealed the answer, Samael turned to look at Sesshouin Kiara across the street.

"Miss Qihuang..."

Sesshouin Kihara immediately understood, and with a slight separation of her hands, the canopy constructed from the photon crystal wall slowly opened.

Everyone instinctively looked up, and a starry river, shimmering with billions of specks of light, came into view.

"—Offerings should be made, but the four directions are reversed!"

At the same time, Sesshouin Kihara formed a Tantric fist seal with his hands and solemnly pondered.

The term "Worthy of Offerings" is one of the ten epithets of the Buddha, also known as "Arhat." It signifies that one has perfected all virtues, possesses both merit and wisdom, and deserves offerings from heaven and earth; hence the title "Worthy of Offerings."

The four inversions are: permanence inversion, taking impermanence as permanence; pleasure inversion, taking suffering as pleasure; self inversion, taking non-self as self; and purity inversion, taking impurity as purity.

Buddhism believes that the nature of the world is "impermanence, suffering, non-self, and impurity," but we (ordinary people) cannot see its true nature. Instead, we believe that the world is "permanent, blissful, self-existent, and pure," which is a delusion and a false attachment, hence the term "four inversions."

To see through illusion, one naturally needs to change one's perspective.

As the fist imprints shifted, everyone felt as if the world had turned upside down, their vision suddenly pulled away from the [Crimson Threshold], and their consciousness seemed to fall into a state of emptiness and selflessness, overlooking the entire vast universe.

Looking around, a girl-like figure, whose face was exactly the same as BB's, was constructed entirely of blazing white light-like spiritual particles. She wore a large bow, had long hair, and her hands were folded over her chest. She floated quietly in a vast void, like a sleeping giant.

Meanwhile, billions of specks of light converged and shimmered all around, stretching endlessly.

Like the deep sea, like the starry sky.

Is this the complete picture of Mooncell?

Soon, everyone snapped out of the intense visual shock and looked down at the pure white girl.

Seven light spots of varying sizes are scattered about, like islands floating in the deep sea and starry sky.

On the island, they encountered even more bizarre species.

Tree……

Trees of the Void, each with a star-like pattern on its bark, some just sprouting, some turning green, some branching out, and some in bloom!

The spreading vines stretched out in the void, coiling around the pure white girl floating in the starry river, their branches piercing her pale skin like poisonous insects crawling beneath her flesh.

Where the girl's wounds festered, the degenerated flesh transformed into a monstrous, cyborg creature that continued to wreak havoc in the maze.

"Crack!"

At the same time, a crisp tearing sound echoed in everyone's minds. The "bark" of the sixth-ranked Void Tree burst open, stretching out in all directions to form a crown-shaped structure at the top, exposing the interior of the tree.

Looking out, you can see the shimmering Milky Way located inside.

The starlight is within reach; this doesn't seem like a figment of imagination, but rather the real Milky Way.

The vast, flowing magical power was like a surging ocean; it was true ether, approaching the level of the divine era, something powerful enough to reshape the entire planet!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of light-like seeds shot out from the top of the exploded tree canopy, like a meteor shower in the sky, piercing the void and falling towards the sleeping pure white girl.

These things are shaped like water droplets, have a white metallic outer shell, and blue crystalline tips...

Hiss, those are the things we encountered on the way through the maze!

Upon seeing this scene, everyone gasped in shock, their faces turning grim.

It turns out that these were just seeds emitted by those trees, a tiny, insignificant force.

At the same time, beneath the seventh tree, whose roots were deepest and whose canopy was fully extended like a flower in bloom, a pair of red and black eyes slowly opened as if sensing something, and looked up at the void.

Like two black holes that devour everything, bringing chaos and annihilation!

What they saw caused the Milky Way to tremble and all worlds to vanish!

The mere exchange of glances sent shockwaves through everyone, as if their souls were instantly detached from their bodies and being crushed and eroded inch by inch.

"All phenomena are without self; the Five Contemplations for Ceasing the Mind—Punish the Truth!"

Almost at the same time, a sharp, urgent shout came from my ears, as if countless red-hot needles were piercing my brain and stirring inside.

A sharp pain struck, instantly jolting everyone out of their daze, their senses and thoughts receding back into their bodies like a tide.

Immediately afterwards, Hinako Akuta, Mashu, and the five-person group of Sakura opened their eyes one after another, their faces pale and panting heavily, their eyes filled with lingering fear.

"What it is?!"

Hinako wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and looked at Samael, who was now leisurely drinking tea in front of the [Cage of Blazing Heaven] hall.

"You can call her 'Alien Goddess'."

The ancient snake put down its teacup, turned around leisurely, and casually passed the buck to its subordinate across from it.

"Miss Qihuang just told me..."

"An alien god? How could such a terrifying thing be here!"

Hinako ignored the second half of the sentence, rubbing her cheeks vigorously to calm the trembling that came from her biological instincts, and just stared at Samael.

On her face, fear and apprehension were almost palpable.

"To be honest, I don't know either."

Samael glanced at his hands, looking quite helpless, then his eyes flickered and his expression turned serious.

"But one thing is certain: we absolutely cannot let that thing continue to develop!"

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this, Mashu immediately gripped her shield, stood up, and responded, her taut, pale face displaying a resolute expression.

"For Chaldea, for everyone, we must get rid of this!"

"more than……"

Samael stood up from his seat, sighed, and his eyes flickered with a deep, unsettling light.

"If we don't deal with this soon, and wait until they mature and rise from the spirit space to connect with reality, the surface of the earth will probably become a wasteland."

As everyone imagined the overwhelming hordes of alien life forms, the rampaging monsters in the maze, and the eyes that opened beneath the tree, they couldn't help but shudder.

Indeed, if the situation is allowed to continue to spiral out of control, once those trees have devoured the entire Chaldea, they will inevitably break through the soil, their branches obscuring the sky, and their alien species will spread across the land.

For ordinary people, that would be an absolute apocalyptic catastrophe.

Realizing the gravity of the matter, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Seeing that everyone had realized the seriousness of the problem and were even somewhat dazed, Samael decisively took over the command and began to assign tasks.

"Miss Qihuang, the Mooncell system still needs to be maintained. I would like to trouble you to stay at the Blazing Sky Threshold and protect the safety of all personnel."

The ancient serpent looked up at Sesshouin Kiara across from it, nodded gently, and its eyes radiated warmth and approval.

Now, he was incredibly grateful that he had placed Sesshouin Kiara in Chaldea ahead of time.

If she hadn't discovered something was wrong and forcibly activated the Mooncell system during its trial phase, pulling Chaldea and the awakened alien god into the Spirit World, and protecting all employees in a data-driven way, those people would probably have started a feast on the spot.

If we wait for Samael to arrive and handle the situation, it might take at least until after their seventh day memorial service.

By then, how badly things will have deteriorated, and how much effort will be needed to mitigate the impact, will all be beyond our control.

At this moment, Sesshouin Kiara, sitting opposite Samael, also saw the satisfaction in his eyes, but he did not take credit for it. He just smiled modestly, nodded slightly, and did not say a word.

"By the way, you're taking care of this one too. Keep an eye on her!"

Samael pondered for a moment, then tossed the BB beside him to Sesshouin across the way, as a way of returning the favor.

Upon seeing the gift, Sesshouin Kiara's lips curled into a pleased smile, clearly very satisfied.

While she was fighting against the invasion of the "Alien God" with all her might, this dishonest woman was stabbing her in the back.

Absolutely tasteless!

Moreover, they even dared to make a move on that person.

Even more unforgivable!

Sesshouin Kiara's bright smile concealed a sinister malice.

However, that hint of sinister intent that revealed his true nature vanished in an instant.

Sesshouin tossed aside her spoils, adopted a solemn expression, approached the group, and gave a stern reminder.

"Based on my observation, these seven strange trees seem to be connected to each other and can resonate and reinforce each other, so you'd better send some people to cut them down one by one before you reach the destination."

Samael nodded seriously, listened to Sesshouin's opinion, and turned to look at the Sakura Five behind him.

“I have signed contracts with Passionlip, Meltryllis, Kingprotea, and Kazuradrop, and can draw on their power at the same time.”

As a Master with 100% adaptability to summoning spirit particles, it's not unusual for him to contract multiple Servants at the same time.

However, upon hearing Samael's revelation, everyone's expressions became subtle.

Mashu looked somewhat resentful, Lilith somewhat indignant, Candy Vine somewhat sullen, Passionate Lips somewhat shy, while the Emperor remained cheerful...

As for the only one that was missed, the violet, I have mixed feelings.

There was a sense of bewilderment and disorientation, as well as a touch of indescribable sadness and regret.

Fortunately, this feeling of being ignored didn't last long, and Samael took the initiative to extend a sincere invitation.

"Virvet, if possible, please lend me a hand as well."

Violet pretended to be reserved and thought for a moment before nodding slightly in agreement. Then she extended her hand to formally establish a contract with Samael.
