Then, the Storm Wall itself gradually dissipated along with the disappearance of the Lostbelt, leaving no trace on the planet's surface. Only the blank planetary surface, just like the outside world, remained.

A beam of light suddenly appeared on the Storm Border deck, and from it emerged the figure of 'One God Morgan'.

Looking at the Lostbelt that had vanished without a trace, she showed a relieved expression and casually dusted off the dust on her body.

“As expected, the detonation of the Crystal Mountain Range was pre-arranged by the Alien Apostles and then initiated by the ‘Alien God.’ It seems they originally intended for us to perish with the Lostbelt,” Shiomi said.

"In any case, suppress the Crystal Mountains to the point of destroying the Lostbelt, and then use 'Individual Manifestation' to escape the Lostbelt..." Morgan chuckled to himself, "My husband, how many more surprises do you have that I don't know about?"

"Even though you were the one in charge, I was thinking how incredibly talented you are to have become familiar with my power so quickly," Shiomi muttered to herself.

Morgan laughed even more heartily.

She took a deep breath: "It's time to release the 'One God' state. Even I can feel the burden of this state. Is my husband alright?"

"……perhaps."

Hearing his uncertain tone, Morgan let out another silent sigh.

Then, it is deactivated.

A wave of fatigue washed over Morgan instantly, and he almost lost his balance and fell onto the deck.

tide Jian reached out to help him, but he wasn't having an easy time either. Things that used to be easy were now suddenly very difficult for him.

The two hugged each other and swayed in the wind on the deck for a long time before finally sitting down before falling to the ground.

“It is indeed a powerful force, but the price that comes with it is also considerable,” Morgan said, holding Shiomi’s hand.

“Yes, mainly because we didn’t practice beforehand, we had to rely on last-minute preparation.” tide Jian nodded seriously. “If we hadn’t achieved perfect harmony, we probably wouldn’t have lasted three minutes.”

As a new form making its debut, it is truly remarkable that it was able to sustain the battle against the "Alien God" for more than five minutes.

“Perfect harmony…” Morgan savored the word, smiling alluringly, “I won’t ask you what you mean by that.”

"Was it a bit unromantic to ask that?" tide Jian touched her nose, looking guilty.

Morgan looked at him: "Then why didn't you bring out something this powerful sooner?"

“...Because a trace of hesitation still lingered in my heart.” tide Jian shook her head. “If I hadn’t seen Zeus with my own eyes and understood the gap between myself and the chief god, I probably wouldn’t have revealed my divine name and completed my own divine status.”

“A completed godhood…” Morgan stroked Shiomi’s face, “So, besides me, they can also do this kind of thing with you?”

"No." tide Jian shook her head.

"Because there's no perfect harmony?" Morgan raised an eyebrow. "They're together all the time, whether there's something to do or not?"

“Perfect harmony is only one of the conditions, and it still requires thousands of years of accumulation.” tide Jian shook her head. “In addition, Master is not dead, and is a being who is not a god but close to a god; Artoria and Skadi are goddesses. If we try to ‘unite’ with them, it will probably only result in the mutual devouring and fusion of divine essences.”

As for Orange, she is still a human magician and does not possess the corresponding qualifications at all.

Only Morgan, who has lived for over six thousand years and is a fairy in Paradise, can do this.

"In short, I'm the only special one, right?" Morgan's eyes revealed a hint of smugness.

Shiomi nodded again: "Yes, I'm not lying to you. And also—"

"And then?"

"This is also my way of making up for what I owe you." Xi Jian frowned, her expression full of apology. "I left you all alone again... Although I managed to come back in the end, I felt I needed to do something..."

“That’s enough,” Morgan knew in his heart.

She'd already experienced this twice, and she'd already felt utterly devastated twice; she didn't want to go through it a third time.

Especially that feeling of helplessness—being able to watch him leave alone without being able to do anything about it.

However, Shiomi found a way to respond to her and comfort her.

By uniting themselves as one, she not only gained enhanced combat power and the means to deal with stronger enemies, but also felt an unprecedented sense of security.

No matter what happens or what changes occur in the future, this point will not change.

With such a tangible sense of "ownership," she originally thought that this feeling could never be improved any further than before, but Xijian once again shattered her perception.

It is beyond description.

The sense of security that cannot be separated even if the world returns to chaos and is recreated is simply too wonderful.

More importantly, from this point on, the way she fights alongside him will also change.

Just thinking about these things made the unknown difficulties seem insignificant. Morgan hugged the man she loved so deeply tightly, as if she were hugging the dream of her entire life.

“However, this means that the task of severing spiritual veins and equipping weapons will have to be handled by others in the future,” Morgan said with a smile.

“Bawan Xi should be able to do it, you should teach her properly.” Shiomi smiled as well. “Or you could have Sakura do it?”

“Let’s take turns. After all, controlling that requires a lot of magic. They’re not me, and their control over magic is still far from perfect,” Morgan pointed out, somewhat strictly.

"Hmm, I'll think about it later." Shio turned her head to look towards the cabin.

Storm Border has landed on the blank ground, and Master and the others have come out of the ship to welcome it.

“There are more important things to deal with right now,” Morgan said, looking at Melousin.

His form was half dragon and half fairy, and his magic was on the verge of spiraling out of control, as if he were about to revert to the form of the dragon Albion at any moment.

She was looking in this direction with unease, as if she had done something wrong.

Even though... she did nothing wrong.

Supporting Morgan, Shiomi walked up to Melusin.

"Raise your head, you did nothing wrong. In fact, I should thank you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to fight properly when I rushed back to the palace."

As he spoke, he raised his finger and tapped Melusin's forehead.

The Dragon Girl returns to her fairy form once again.

Chapter 120 A Myriad of Tasks

After reuniting with her master and the others, and after confirming the safety of the people on the Storm Border ship, Shiomi returned to her room to rest. Immediately, she asked about something very important.

This is important to both him and Chaldea.

"How is Mary?"

“I’ve already had Bavan Shi send her back to her room,” Scáthach shook her head. “She was deeply affected.”

tide Jian understood: "Perhaps we shouldn't hide it. Even without solid evidence, wouldn't it be better to tell us first?"

“It’s hard to say.” Morgan shook his head. “It’s only a hassle to say things that can’t be confirmed in advance.”

Morgan's view was actually the consensus that Shiomi and she originally shared.

However, the appearance of U-Olga Marie, who now claims to be the "Alien God," means that those speculations are gradually being confirmed.

The disaster of human bleaching is not caused by danger from outer space, but by something far worse.

Now, Olga Marie has suffered an even more severe blow than the death of Maris Billy.

"Then there's nothing we can do." tide Jian pursed her lips. "After the rest and recuperation arrangements are made, I'll go see her... I just hope she doesn't do anything foolish."

Skadi lowered her eyes: "It probably won't be easy. The Beast in the final battle, appearing in that manner, whether it was a spur-of-the-moment decision or something planned long ago—"

"The very existence of the 'Alien God' is enough to make the Director doubt his own existence," Orange reminded him. "Especially the part about self, am I right?"

tide Jian was speechless for a moment.

“She’s been kept in the dark since she was a child. By this point, she might have started to doubt why she was born, and why Marisbury Animusfia was raising her as his heir.” Artoria felt this deeply.

After all, as King Arthur, she was originally born as the son of a red dragon to save Britain.

Fortunately, she knew this from the beginning and accepted the mission that had been assigned to her, giving her more options.

It was Artoria herself who embarked on an incredibly arduous path, ultimately arriving at the fate that belonged to King Arthur.

tide Jian crossed her arms and stared blankly at her master's toes, which were right in her field of vision.

It wasn't that he was so engrossed in looking at his master's feet, but rather that he was indeed in a predicament.

"More importantly, although no one has said it, further explanation is indeed needed now, even if it's just a hypothetical outcome," Morgan cautioned. "It's necessary to tell the whole story. As for whether it will be accepted by everyone, and whether they are willing to continue to believe in Mary, accept her as director, and continue to lead Chaldea—"

"What you all say makes sense. I'll think about it carefully and then prepare to call a meeting," Shio said, looking at Touko. "How are the others doing?"

The "others" he referred to included the Olympian Twins, who were the only two to board the ship and leave the Lostbelt, as well as the three Hermits who were captured and imprisoned in solitary confinement.

Kirstalia, Peperoncino, and Hinako Akuta.

“The twins aren’t a big problem, after all, they chose to offer their faith to you before setting off, as a fulcrum for maintaining their existence outside the Lostbelt,” Orange said. “However, since the Olympian gods have disappeared, Krionomia will probably lose its power as well, and their lifespan will become similar to that of the inhabitants of Atlantis.”

However, Geminis would rather be ordinary humans again, growing up, aging, and dying an ordinary death.

This requires Shiomi's help to strip away the materialized manifestations of the Machine God's power and their influence on their bodies.

"—As for the Hidden Ones," Orange continued, "they're all behaving themselves for now...of course, they have no choice but to behave themselves."

Skadi personally set up the restraint runes, stripping them of their fighting ability. Even Hinako Akuta became like an ordinary human woman, without the ability to fight.

Moreover, there were three Valkyries on guard in the confinement room.

“Is that so? Anyway, let’s go check on the Hidden Ones first.” Shiomi stood up. “Kirshtalia’s gathering of our companions for support has saved us a lot of trouble. We need them to be present at the briefing on the ‘Alien God’ later, to provide information, especially—”

Before Xijian could finish speaking, the call came through.

"Shiomi, could you please go to the confinement room? Kirshtalia Wodim's condition is strange!" Romani urgently announced. "His vital signs are extremely unstable, and he could die at any moment!"

Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment.

Morgan immediately remembered that Kirei Kotomine had said that, unlike the other Hidden Ones, the right to exist in Kirshtalia belonged to the "Alien God".

Now that he has been captured by Chaldea, he is a pawn that the "Alien God" intended to discard anyway, so there is no need for him to continue living.

Having resolved the issue of the Atlantic Lostbelt, the next step is to conveniently eliminate the Hidden Ones.

Upon hearing Morgan's report, Shiomi immediately rushed to the confinement room and saw Kirshtalia, who was on the verge of death.

The "Alien God" intended to take away Kilshtalia's life by locking it, but the magic crest of the Wodim family, a treasure passed down for millennia, was keeping him on his last breath.

"Please, teacher! Save Kirshtalia!" Ophelia pleaded with Shiomi, pressing her face against the small window at the entrance to the solitary confinement cell.

"I would do it without you telling me."

Shiomi smiled calmly and placed her hand on Kirshtalia's chest.

"Since the 'Alien God' has taken back the life he gave you, I will grant you a new life of freedom."

As those words were uttered, Kirshtalia, who had been in a coma despite her pained expression, gradually calmed down and her breathing became even again.

By the time Shiomi removed her hand, Kirshtalia had already opened her eyes.

"...I am extremely grateful..."

“For me now, this is not difficult. It was your family’s magic mark that kept you going until I arrived,” Shio said. “The fact that the ‘Alien God’ is acting in this way means that your alliance or contract will be null and void.”

“You’re right,” Kirshtalia said without hesitation. “The reason I was saved was because they needed the intelligence I had.”

"Speak freely and without reservation." tide Jian stood up. "Although you are prisoners, we have no intention of mistreating you. However, given the current crisis of human rights being purged, we do not intend to support idle people who only know how to eat."

Kirshtalia smiled calmly:

"I understand what you mean."

Chapter 121 On the Whitewashing of Human Principles (1)

"Miss Karen, how is the director?"

Ritsuka and Mash came to visit Olga Marie and saw Kallen coming out of her room. They quickly went up to ask her what was wrong.

Karen simply shook her head: "It's terrible, I just took sleeping pills and went to sleep."

“I see…” Mashu lowered her head, unsure of what to say.

"Alright, let the director have some peace and quiet first," Karen stopped the two of them. "And tell the others not to come and bother him."

In fact, Karen was being quite conservative in her assessment.

Olga Marie barely managed to stay awake until Storm Border was separated from the Lostbelt before collapsing completely. She was now extremely vulnerable and couldn't fall asleep easily, so she had to take a magical potion to help her sleep before she could finally manage to drift off.

Sleep is a vital biological activity for protecting mental health.

Karen felt no pleasure whatsoever from seeing Olga Marie suffer.

On this point, I agree with Shiomi.

“Okay, I’ll tell everyone later.” Ritsuka nodded.

In reality, apart from Bavan Shi, who escorted the director back to his room, only Karen, as a medical professional, was able to come over and give Olga Marie a check-up.
