This is not the date I wanted.

If you look at the earth from space at this moment, you can see a huge magic circle on the land belonging to Europe.

"Is this... the spirit ritual?"

Erya couldn't help but marvel at the spectacular sight.

The Spiritual Ceremony - that was a magic secret invented by Westcott thirty years ago, which brought together all the spiritual veins and magic power scattered around the world. The original spirit, Takamiya Mio, was born due to the influence of this magic.

Of course, the spiritual veins of the whole world are now exhausted, and it will take hundreds or thousands of years to recover. Even if this technique is used now, it is impossible to create a second origin elf out of thin air.

However, when Takamiya Mio appeared, the situation was completely different. She was born from the elf ritual and could herself be regarded as an extremely exaggerated and huge spiritual vein.

And now, they are using the random field generated by the aerial ship to simulate this technique.

The light flickered, and the magic power of the aerial ship flowed along the patterns of the magic circle, converging towards the "Reincarnation Paradise" in the center.

However, at the moment when the elf spell came into contact with the "Paradise of Samsara", a huge amount of spiritual power suddenly burst out from the "Paradise of Samsara", dispersing the gathering torrent of magic power.

The Fraxinus EX in the formation also shook violently under the impact of this spiritual power.

"what happened?!"

"Report, a strong spiritual reaction is sensed from 'Paradise of Samsara'."

"The spirit rituals are blocked by a strange force and cannot invade the 'Paradise of Samsara'."

"First contact failed."

"Begin the second contact without cutting off the supply of mana!"

"learn."

The crew quickly adjusted their status and cooperated with other airships to maintain the elf ritual. However, no matter how they tried, the elf ritual and "Paradise of Reincarnation" were like two magnets with the same poles and could not get close to each other at all.

"What's going on? Did I miss something?"

Erya examined every detail of this elf ritual in disbelief.

According to Meng Yue, this technique was obtained through the "Whispering Chapter" and tested through simulation calculations by the "Sage of Dawn". In theory, it will definitely succeed. The only possible reason for failure is that one may have overlooked some important details.

[It's not your fault. This is the second sub.]

"Marina-chan, what's going on?"

Erya asked in confusion as the voice came through the headset.

[There is no doubt about it. You did perfectly restore the elf spell from thirty years ago, and the spell you constructed has no loopholes. However, you still failed.]

After listing a series of data on the main screen, Junai analyzed:

[The reason is very simple. Unlike thirty years ago, this time the spirit vein has a clear self-awareness. Although Mio, who is fighting with Meng Yue, has not noticed our actions at this time, the "Reincarnation Paradise" with its master still spontaneously rejected the intervention of the spirit ritual. ]

"I see... You refuse NTR because you don't want to betray your boyfriend? Damn, you are such a modest angel."

Erya couldn't help but complain.

[You still use strange analogies as usual, Miss Niya. ]

Ju Ya complained coldly.

"Stop complaining about the little details! Now that the cause is clear, is there a solution? What should we do?"

[A method...]

[Indeed, it is not that there is no solution. ]

Ju Ya and Ju Nai looked at each other and nodded slightly.

[Just when the elf technique came into contact, we also received feedback from "Reincarnation Paradise". 】

[There is still one condition missing for the Spiritual Spell to succeed. 】

For some reason, Erya had a very uneasy feeling in his heart.

"Hey! What are you planning to do? Mariya, Maruna-chan?!"

For the first time, the Orumi sisters smiled gently at Nia.

[Eiya, let’s say goodbye now.]

[Although I am very worried, I will leave Mengyue to you.]

After the farewell words were spoken, the images and voices of Mariya and Maruna disappeared from the airship.

……

Junai feels very strange now.

Originally an artificial AI of Fraxinus EX, she is able to use other people's communication diagnostics for remote communication or use simulated robots to perform the same actions as humans, but her main body is still the computer of the airship.

But at this moment, she clearly realized that she and her sister Ju Ya had already broken away from the airship and were traveling through the magic circle of the elves with independent souls, or spirits.

Rather than feeling like a bird spreading its wings and flying, she felt more like a carp swimming in a river.

"Are you ready, Juya?"

"Yeah, no problem sis."

In response to Junai's question, Junya gave an affirmative answer.

A wave-like thrust came from behind, which was the magic power transmitted from the airship.

Ju Ya and Ju Nai followed this force and rushed towards the Samsara Paradise at the center of the ritual.

Just as the two were about to approach the "Reincarnation Paradise", another push came from the front, forcing them to stop.

"Is this... the resistance of Samsara Paradise?"

The magic output of the airship is completely not on the same level. The huge reverse thrust seems to be against some self-evident law, making this last step extremely difficult.

However, it was not completely flawless. Although the reaction was very weak, every time the spirit spell came into contact with the "Paradise of Samsara", Ju Ya and Ju Nai still detected completely different spirit wave reactions.

It was a message expressing willingness to listen to their prayers, an invitation from the "Paradise of Reincarnation".

(Where is the source of Lingbo's message?)

Trying hard to stay above the turbulence, Ju Ya continued searching.

"There, sis."

Ju Ya pointed in one direction and shouted. Ju Nai turned his head and looked. Indeed, on the surface of the airtight shield of "Reincarnation Paradise", there was only a small crack less than half a meter long.

Without any hesitation, Ju Ya and Ju Nai nodded and crawled into the gap.

The moment they passed through the gap, the resistance that had originally blocked them disappeared, and instead, there was an empty and void world.

(Is this the interior of the Samsara Paradise?)

Junai looked around in confusion.

At some point, a girl in gorgeous spiritual clothing appeared in front of them.

"You are……"

Junai asked doubtfully.

Although she thought the other person was Takamiya Mio at first, a closer look revealed that the other person's spiritual outfit was somewhat similar in style, but it was a blue-purple robe and a pure white skirt, with golden shoulder pads and a crown, and the color of the hair was pink instead of silver-white.

More importantly, from those light brown pupils, Junai did not sense the existence of a "human" consciousness. It was just a puppet that existed alone.

——What a tiny thing.

"—!"

"—!"

The moment the other party opened their mouths, a heavy pressure enveloped Junai and Junya's bodies.

There is no possibility of escape. As long as the other party has a thought, the soul will be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Without any calculation or analysis, the two instinctively came to this conclusion out of fear.

——My real name is Ain Soph (Paradise of Reincarnation). I am the angel of law who controls the laws of this world. You set up a special spirit spell to break into this place. What is your purpose?

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope appeared in Junai and Ju Ya's eyes.

"us……"

Trying hard to overcome the fear in her heart, Junai raised her head and told her request to the Samsara Paradise.

however--

——I can’t do it.

The girl shook her head slowly.

——Takamiya Mio is my master. Fulfilling your wish would be a rebellion against my master, so I cannot respond.

"But you understand our ideas and goals, but you still called us here. Is there still room for negotiation?"

Ju Ya suddenly asked.

——Indeed.

The girl did not deny this.

——I am the angel of law, the one who controls the laws of all things. All the laws in the world are established on the basis of "equivalent exchange". Therefore, you only need to offer something to me, and I will make equivalent concessions to your wishes.

"something?"

Junai couldn't help but feel a little confused.

——You, the heart of the electronic elf.

The girl replied without any emotion.

Ju Nai couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and looked at Ju Ya in confusion. Then she saw that Ju Ya was also looking at her with a puzzled look.

They were not hesitant about what the other party said, but were simply very confused. Why did they have such precious value?

--some.

As if reading the doubts in their hearts, the girl said affirmatively.

——Common sense, only species with a "heart" can reproduce individuals with a "heart". And the birth of a "heart" from "nothingness" is a miracle that only happens once every thousands or tens of thousands of years.

——You have used lifeless steel as your body and emotionless electrical signals to carry your will, and have successfully created a miracle called "heart". Although you do not have the power to move mountains and seas, the way your soul is born is the same as that of my Lord, so I acknowledge that your existence is worth trading.

"I see... Is it like me imitating my sister to gain affection?"

Ju Ya couldn't help but sigh.

For intelligence that can only analyze things through logic and formulas, analyzing and understanding the existence of "mind" will always be the inevitable ultimate topic.

——So, are you willing to trade?

Hearing the girl's question, Junai and Ju Ya looked at each other, then nodded without hesitation.

"Of course. I was prepared when I first came here."

"If my heart can be exchanged for Meng Yue's victory, then I will naturally be happy to give it to you."

——The transaction is established.

The next moment, Junai and Ju Ya felt as if they were enveloped by dazzling white light, and their bodies were beginning to dissipate bit by bit starting from their feet.

Of course, for them, losing their "heart" is no different from the death of a human.

——Sorry, Maria.

——What's wrong, sister? You suddenly said something like this.

——Let you accompany me to this point.

——What? It's okay, sister. I chose to come here on my own. There's no need for you to apologize.

--Thanks.

——Hey, sister. What do you think Mengyue would do if she knew we made this choice behind her back?

——She should... be very sad... After all, she loves her family so deeply.

——I hope she won’t be unable to recover from this.

——No, she is Mengyue.

——Yeah, that’s true.

——Hey...sister.
