"But the question is, who are you?"
"I am an angel."
"Hey, this place is supposed to be my space, so how come you exist?"
"I was originally created by human imagination. Well, everyone has great stories and hopes, so I haven't been tainted."
Compared with the worldview of the Land of Steel, this figure is indeed dreamlike and completely incompatible, but Qin Xuan would not agree to say that she is the condensation of the fantasies of the people on this land.
"That's not right."
"Eh?"
"I also sensed what you did to me before, 'Angel'. You only had this superficial gesture that extracted the image of 'Angel' from human fantasy, but more importantly, you used the fantasy in my mind, right? Those so-called 'everyone's stories' are just the stories in my memory.
"And... you seemed to be imitating 'her' way of speaking just now?"
"Oh, you found me?"
The angel's appearance gradually matured, her blonde hair turned pink, her simple white dress turned into a gorgeous wedding dress-like dress, and her pure white wings on both sides turned into a pair of winged bells flying on both sides. She held her long hair and tied her veil like a flower girl.
——The Herrscher of Man, Alicia.
The moment he saw her, Qin Xuan felt a strong sense of nostalgia for the first time in his life. Many of his previous experimental projects and equipment names were nostalgic in a sense, but it was never as strong as when he saw the "real person" with his own eyes.
But no matter what, he knew that she couldn't be that person.
She slowly turned around. "How is it? Compared to the 'initial image', this look seems to be more in line with my essence!"
"What is your essence?"
"My lovely human, you still don't understand?" She seemed to be getting familiar with the newer way of existence compared to the previous UO's posture. Then she stopped spinning and faced Qin Xuan, "But it doesn't matter, no matter when, I will patiently answer you.
"Did I mention it just now? 'I am a creation of human imagination', my original form of existence (Venus UO) no longer exists."
Qin Xuan naturally understood that the only thing he had now was this "World Tree".
"So, here is the key! My past life has become the world tree of this lake island, and you can think of me as a spirit attached to this tree - a spirit condensed from 'all beautiful fantasies'~
"So, it's not 'I am imitating her', but you have chosen 'I should be her' in your heart."
--------
Real world. Brakmoya Village.
At this time, the church entrance and even the surrounding areas have been monitored by Iluli, Yeye and Xiaozi, and no one is allowed to enter.
In addition, Xiao Zi will be responsible for maintaining the illusion and scouting the movements of the Holy Church and others every night. Iluri will observe the abnormalities of the large underground cavity in Brakmoya Village in real time at the entrance.
Iluli, who was standing at the underground entrance, heard a noise coming from behind - Ye Ye had returned.
She looked a little anxious: "Sister, it's the Holy Church, they are coming soon!"
"Don't be nervous. How far is it? What are the movements of the others?"
"It's still 30 kilometers away, and we expect to arrive before dark! Belsac is still discussing the ritual steps and preparations with the Black Madonna faction, so they are probably stalling for time."
Although Ye Ye and Iluli are combat puppets, they can also do other work by connecting to devices when not in combat. Iluli also received Ye Ye's reconnaissance images of the Cathedral Church:
In a rugged wilderness, a group of people wearing priests' or nuns' clothes were moving forward quickly, looking down on obstacles, and their speed was almost as fast as that of a car. Of course, in such a mountainous area, the speed of a car was probably not as fast as theirs.
After watching the video, Iluli estimated that there were two brigades and shook his head. "With this configuration... the villagers of Brakmoya, including Belsak and his men, have underestimated the determination of the Holy Church to fight against heresy."
Why did the Holy Church react so violently? The scale of this mobilization was no less than that of the crusade against the Ancestor, right? Or did the Creator's weapon give them more confidence, causing a change in their external strategy?
Everything she knew about the Holy Church came from the Creator. No matter what, once they got in the way of the Creator, they would be enemies.
"Calling Sister Prometheus."
At this time, the life support capsule containing "Aleister" has been delivered. However, the three sisters do not have the authority to use it, unless Qin Xuan returns to consciousness or Prometheus authorizes it to be unlocked.
"What's the matter?" Prometheus immediately appeared in front of him.
Except for Fuyuki City, her presence is revealed in other places by using Qin Xuan's equipment, which is the terminal program carried by the Setsugekka doll, Rin, and Aoko, to activate the 'Sub-body No. 17'.
But at this time, the village of Brakmoya had already established a long-distance channel with the Qin Mansion, so she could also be regarded as the Prometheus switchboard.
"They are from the Holy Church..."
Iluli quickly transmitted the images and other information, "Requesting further instructions."
"Wait a minute."
No. 17 took over the observation equipment at this time. As an expert in this field, she noticed the unusual movement of the other party, "There is something going on down there."
--------
A large cavity underground.
At this time, due to the unknown purpose of the "Reenactment Weapon", the cave has been submerged in a sea of red sand.
Every grain of red sand here is the spiritual element and "philosopher's stone" pursued by the legendary alchemists.
For the Atlas Institute, it is an intelligence carrier with almost unlimited capacity. The weapons manufactured from it are enough to reenact the entire world. It is no exaggeration to say that it is enough to create "singularities" covering the surface of the planet.
As expected of Ayuan, he clearly intended to save the world, but he created a weapon that destroyed the world.
Suddenly, there was an unusual movement in the endless sea of sand.

Chapter 55 This is a trial!
Land of Steel. The Knights' Central Operations Room.
"Emergency!! Captain!" The liaison officer sent an urgent communication.
Benawei opened his eyes and said, "Speak."
"It has been confirmed that Type: Saturn has suddenly modified its flight trajectory. In addition, an unknown number of UO entities have been observed breaking through the 'gray cloud layer' above the sea of clouds."
Benawei stood up suddenly. For the first time, he felt an unprecedented abnormal situation. "What are the results of the intelligence analysis?"
"…The preliminary results given by the analysis team are: All UO individuals have the same action target, which is most likely the location where Type: Venus was shot down by the captain of Team 11."
"What's the feedback from the local investigation team?"
"No traces of UO remains have been found so far."
"Send the latest information to the scout knights who have already set out, and immediately send more knights to the frontline to assist." Benawei thought for a moment and made a decision. "I will report to the higher-ups."
The entire UO reacted so violently. What on earth did the captain of Team 11 do...
--------
At this time, the battlefield that was once devastated by Qin Xuan's transformation into Kunpeng, or in other words, somewhere that had been razed to the ground.
Gray has already reunited with Qin Xuan.
"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."
Gray was not disappointed because she could not participate in the campaign against UO.
She wasn't at that level yet. As for asking Qin Xuan to carry her on his back to fight in the air... it was too much of a burden for her.
"——Teacher, what happened?" Compared to the Knights who had observation technology, it was difficult for Gray to confirm the result alone on the ground.
Qin Xuan roughly explained the result of accidentally swallowing UO.
"Well, the expedition was successful... and there was an unexpected surprise—"
"?"
Alicia suddenly appeared out of nowhere, "Hey~ Are you talking about me, dear little Gray?"
"You, how are you?"
Gray was shocked by this appearance. If she had seen Prometheus's mysterious appearances and disappearances before, she might have performed better.
"Hello, my name is Elise—"
Qin Xuan interrupted, "——Gray, just think of her name as Ai Li."
Although this Alicia has a human-like appearance, she is not the original from other worlds, nor is she a clone. She just has the same characteristics, so it is better to make a slight distinction between them.
"Hmm?" Ai Li understood Qin Xuan's intention, "Little Grey, just call me Sister Ai Li."
Watching Ai Li floating around, Qin Xuan inexplicably thought of a certain white flying pet, because apart from staying on the island in the middle of the lake, Ai Li could only be summoned by Qin Xuan to the outside world, and she could not leave a certain range of Qin Xuan, which meant that she was bound to him.
"..." Ai Li suddenly turned her head and looked at Qin Xuan. She seemed to have guessed what Qin Xuan was thinking. She rolled her eyes and said with a smirk in a different tone:
"Traveler, let's explore the area ahead later~!"
Qin Xuan began to consider whether he should release her in the future. Would she keep telling me some clichés that only I could understand?
“……?” This is little Grey who still doesn’t understand the situation.
The few of them chatted as they walked, following the traces of human beings nearby and gradually getting closer... no, gradually moving away from the area where humans live.
Qin Xuan used his spiritual sense to see that someone was approaching the mountain range where he shot down UO. He knew without a doubt that they were members of the Knights.
He now couldn't explain where the Venus UO he shot down had gone. Although he wouldn't be treated like the Knight Aiden, he would undoubtedly face a very troublesome interrogation.
So just run away.
Qin Xuan, needless to say, with the blessing of the Chaos Lake, he can travel non-stop. Gray is the kind of good student who doesn't say a word and will follow whatever the teacher does.
But Ai Li, who was flying nearby, felt a little bored, and the surroundings were always desolate, so she said, "Oh, I'm so tired, Xuan, don't keep rushing, take a rest, okay~?"
"? Aren't you flying?"
“Flying is also very tiring!”
Qin Xuan and Gray stopped one after the other.
"Oh, it seems that Xuan still has me in his heart——"
Ai Li said happily. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something incredible: "Huh? This is impossible..."
"What did you feel?"
"They are similar in size to my former form...why are those UOs gathering here?"
"Huh? All the UOs are coming here, looking for us?"
"There is no other possibility now. According to my past understanding, except for one individual acting as a signal transmission tower, all other UO individuals act independently and freely. Even if the past me dies, they have no concept of 'revenge'."
"Indeed, the death of the 'black giant' in the past did not bring about any changes."
Gray said at the side: "Could it be that the teacher's devouring, rather than destroying, attracted the attention of that 'transmitting tower'?"
"Gray, you're on the right track," Qin Xuan felt there was another possibility, and he had a better way to verify it. "However, I tend to think that the mastermind behind the scenes is anxious—"
"Next, please take good care of my body."
After saying that, his consciousness shifted. Qin Xuan's body tilted and was about to fall to the ground, and Gray next to him subconsciously held him in his arms.
Gray raised her eyes and met Ellie's half-smile. She immediately avoided her gaze and felt inexplicably guilty.
----------
In the real world, Brakmoya Village.
Qin Xuan's consciousness entered the body of "Aleister", and he felt obviously weak.
This feeling became even more obvious after swallowing one of Venus's original beings.
After walking out of the life support cabin, Qin Xuan saw Prometheus as expected. He asked directly: "What's the situation in the underground cave?"
