She understood what Shiomi meant by destruction.
If even the meaning of its own existence is false, then mental collapse, loss of fighting ability, and subsequent annihilation are the proper course of action.
But Olga Marie knew all too well the pain of being lost in the meaning of one's own existence.
For Olga Marie, finding a way to rediscover the meaning of life was a stroke of luck with less than one in ten thousand chance.
At this moment, Shio stopped in her tracks.
Olga Marie immediately looked up and surveyed her surroundings.
They saw Kirei Kotomine fighting two Servants, his body covered in wounds.
A servant, clad in golden armor, exuded awe-inspiring divine power.
The other was dressed in a dark purple robe, which looked rather ostentatious and extravagant.
These two are currently engaged in battle with Kirei Kotomine.
The reason is also very simple.
Kirei Kotomine is hindering their approach and attacking the "Alien God".
"This is so unlike you, risking your life for your comrades," tide Jian teased.
"...It's nothing, we just had no choice but to do it. Letting U-Olga Marie disappear here would affect our future plans," Kirei Kotomine said. "We alien apostles can't disobey our mission."
"Companion?" The golden-armored servant paused slightly, then crossed his attack with the purple-robed servant, aiming at Kirei Kotomine, leaving the priest nowhere to escape.
"Are your eyes vents, Bhutanese?" the purple-robed follower mocked. "Isn't that the man Karna and the others mentioned?"
Bhujun narrowed his eyes: "Speaking of which, Arjuna said something similar. You're quite calm, aren't you? No wonder."
"I, your master, am going to personally take the head of that alien god. I won't let someone like you steal this victory." Nan Di said smugly.
Despite viewing the terrorist army as a competitor, they are cooperating here.
Clearly, the great mission they carried made them, like Karna and Arjuna, temporarily set aside their prejudices against each other.
"Then what should we do? I can help you deal with this fake priest," Shiomi said. "I just need to speak with the 'Alien God.' After all, you know that as a servant of humanity, you can't actually kill her; at most, you can only capture her."
“Arjuna and the others let you come over, it seems they have other plans.” Bhikkhu was quite reasonable. “Alright, you can go now.”
"Hey, are you really going to let them pass? Don't forget your mission," Nan Di questioned with dissatisfaction.
“Then you go fight him, I’ll deal with this priest.” Bhujun stared at Kirei. “Karna said that this priest cannot be taken lightly and must be dealt with decisively.”
Karna made this remark because he saw through the priest's wicked nature at a glance.
The army clearly took it to heart and didn't dismiss it as irrelevant remarks from outsiders.
"Tsk..." It was clear that Du Di did not want to do this.
Although he was a bit prone to getting carried away, he could still tell the difference in their strengths.
If Karna didn't possess the power of the three gods, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat Shiomi in front of him.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and go. If you dare let the 'Alien God' escape, don't blame me for being impolite." Nandi stared at Xijian suspiciously.
tide Jian smiled nonchalantly: "Well, that depends on what the other person thinks."
After saying that, he led Olga Marie past the two warring parties and jumped onto the floating island where the "Alien God" was located.
"This is truly a headache. Those who should have been stopped from being given the trial were let go. You are all being far too biased."
Kirei tore off his tattered robe, revealing his well-developed and muscular physique.
“Are you dissatisfied?” said Bhujun. “I know you haven’t shown your true abilities yet. It’s fine if you plan to keep dragging this out. We have plenty of time.”
"Too much nonsense!"
No wonder he couldn't be bothered to argue with this strange priest any longer. After all, Karna had warned him not to ignore his good brother's advice.
Wielding the long staff wreathed in flames, Noah launched a new attack on the priest.
Chapter Sixty-Seven U
Olga Marie didn't know what it would feel like to be face-to-face with another version of herself.
But after making the decision to follow Shiomi into the Third Underworld, she consulted Morgan, Pendragon and Castor, and Scáthach and Skadi.
Their answers were all different.
Strictly speaking, what they encountered were not truly another version of themselves, but rather other beings who shared similarities with them.
They have completely different experiences and backgrounds.
But the "Alien Goddess," U-Olgamari, is different; she was created by Chaldea using her abandoned old body.
Therefore, they were unable to fully answer Olga Marie's question.
However, they all gave Olga Marie Yasmiret Animusfia somewhat similar answers in the end.
No matter how similar we are, even if we share the same roots, we are ultimately irreplaceable, unique beings in this world.
As she drew closer to the location of the "Alien God," Olga Marie felt her previously foggy heart gradually becoming clearer.
Sensing her inner turmoil, as they reached the island in the middle of the lake where the alien god was hiding, Shiomi whispered to her:
"Just do what you think is right, and I trust your answer. I will protect you, so don't worry about anything else."
"Ah."
Olga Marie climbed down from Shiomi's arms and stood back on the slightly soft ground, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
The third underworld, Sosoyauki, is a desert, except for many floating islands in the air.
In the heart of the region lies a completely different oasis, with a lake in the center and a small island in the center of that lake.
The island is lush and green, and the interior is not visible from the outside; one must go ashore to see for oneself.
Olga Marie took Shiomi's hand and led her step by step along the rough path toward the center of the island.
An immense magical reaction, an oppressive aura.
The closer you get, the more instinctively you feel fear.
This is the "Alien God," a life form with a presence that surpasses that of humans, and simply getting close to it is filled with pressure.
“I’m here,” Shiomi whispered in Olga Marie’s ear.
A surge of warmth filled her heart, and she felt the immense pressure being separated by an invisible force, making her feel that every step was no longer difficult.
After parting the dense foliage, Olga Marie and Shiomi finally met the "Alien God"—U-Olga Marie—in a small clearing deep within the forest.
"This is never going to end... No, I should say you're definitely going to come, right?" The 'Alien God' looked up at Shiomi.
That once arrogant face was now full of haggardness and exhaustion, as if it had been tormented to the point of mental collapse.
The alien apostles neither have the ability nor the need to.
The messengers of the three Hindu gods are also not skilled in mental attacks.
The answer still lies with U itself.
The powers she stole contained records of Shiomi's existence. Reading those records, and having them resonate with the physical memories whose cognition was obscured, constantly eroded U's mind.
Constantly doubting one's own existence would have caused an ordinary person to collapse from this endless contradiction.
But U-Olgamarie persevered, only losing the will to fight and not wanting to do anything.
With a formidable enemy at hand, they couldn't even muster proper precautions.
“I have something I need to retrieve, so naturally I have to come over.” tide Jian looked at the other person quietly.
Then, Olga Marie released Shiomi's hand and took a step forward.
"Who's there!"
U immediately raised a question filled with surprise and uncertainty.
A powerful aura pushed Olga Marie back, and if Shiomi hadn't reached out to help her, she would have fallen to the ground.
“You…can’t you see me?” Olga Marie asked in surprise. “Just like Gorgon can’t see Anna.”
"Shiomi Tenkei, besides you, who else is here?" U pressed. "What tricks are you Chaldea playing? How did you manage to fool me?"
“Nothing was done, it’s just that…you couldn’t perceive her presence,” Shiomi replied calmly.
U-Olgamarie stared wide-eyed at Shiomi.
She could see tide Jian, but she couldn't see anyone else here besides him.
Unable to perceive or see, yet clearly aware that something existed there, right before her.
"Her? Who is she?"
"And who are you?" tide Jian asked.
"...I am the 'Alien Goddess,' U-Olga Marie, the Great Ruler of Earth who will rule this planet."
Unlike when she appeared in the Temple of the Orbital God in Olympus, her tone was no longer confident to the point of arrogance, but rather more uncertain.
"I don't have much confidence," tide Jian shook her head. "Why?"
Then, silence began to spread, and after a long while, U hesitantly spoke:
“I saw it… because the power that tried to devour you, at the moment of contact, saw the records within.” U-Olga Marie hugged herself tightly. “I had never seen you before Olympus, I only knew of your existence from the reports of the Apostles, but why… in those unalterable records, there was—”
Her voice stopped abruptly, and she could no longer continue speaking.
The more I describe what I see, the more I doubt myself, and the less I can tell the final part.
“There will be… a record of ‘Olga Marie’,” Shiomi said.
"..." U fell into a deeper silence.
Olga Marie then took another step: "Because I spent years with my teacher, and because of her support, I was able to survive, to get to where I am today. Those memories are irreplaceable to me, and they are also precious memories for my teacher."
"..."
U-Olga Marie remains silent.
She didn't know why Shiomi suddenly stopped talking, nor could she hear Olga Marie's voice.
But deep down—if what I possess can be called a heart—I clearly understand that the silent voice is telling me something.
Fourthly, it is something she must know, yet cannot know.
"Man is history; all the experiences a person has ultimately shaped their existence. Even if one changes bodies, as long as the soul and memories remain, one's existence will not change. Even if, to you, those are merely memories from an unknown source, records existing within you for reasons unknown. If you no longer reject them, but instead accept them..."
Olga Marie reached out and gently placed her hand on U-Olga Marie's face.
Even without being able to perceive body temperature, the "Alien God" experienced an indescribable feeling.
"What exactly am I..."
Chapter Sixty-Eight: Confusion
Have you ever wondered why you were born, why you exist? And what exactly is this so-called "alien god"?
At that moment, Shiomi suddenly spoke up and asked a profound question.
"I...I just heard my compatriots' cries for help, then I gained a physical body through the Imaginary Tree, and then—"
"If that's the case, then why use... a human body?" Shiomi asked again.
"what?"
“I think you should have realized that memories that don’t belong to you are being gradually brought to light because they resonate with the records of my powers. Those memories that originally belonged to you, but were for some reason sealed away and kept from you… memories belonging to this body.” Shio sighed.
U-Olga Marie's eyes were filled with hesitation.
Undeniably, those memories, though fragmented, are all undeniably brilliant.
Ordinary, yet incredibly precious.
This made her want to carefully cherish these fragments of memory, so that she wouldn't forget them.
Wanting to go further and find more, yet always only possessing these fragmented pieces.
That's why there's confusion, that's why there's no understanding.
If these belong to me, why are these all I have? If these don't belong to me, where did they come from, and why are they in my mind?
The logical thinking that would normally be free of obstacles has been severely disrupted by these inseparable fragments of memory.
Unable to fight, unable to think, and even unable to carry out their own mission.
