Chapter 198 Welcome Back, Lucia Aron
[God's Remains Labyrinth] 50th Floor.
In the desolate Space that had strayed from its original domain.
In the extremely cold region where the enormous blue planet's illusion could be seen below, "(that being)" drifting through Space had sensed the anomaly that had visited the labyrinth.
"――――!!"
It had realized that the seal that had been set up by the [Seal Temple]'s function to prevent anyone from entering had been lifted, connecting Space to the 51st Floor, where the 'Administrator's Throne (Hlidskjalf)' that governed the labyrinth's management existed.
For "(that being)", this was an extremely detestable and powerful seal. A ridiculous seal that blocked its way to the 'Administrator's Throne', right before its eyes.
The seal that had maintained world peace with a single sheet of paper, deviating from its original role, had now disappeared.
This was undoubtedly a great opportunity.
However, "(that being)" decided to wait for a while, aware of the situation.
Through [Possibility Perception], it had understood that someone who had entered the 51st Floor earlier was an overwhelmingly strong opponent that it couldn't defeat in its current state.
If that person had even a one-in-ten-thousand chance of erasing itself, it wasn't worth challenging them. At least, not now.
"(That being)" quietly waited without being noticed until the intruder left the management domain, and then――――with perfect timing, it teleported.
The location was the 51st Floor, the 'Administrator's Throne'.
"......"
After moving to the indoor space filled with generated air, "(that being)" spread its wings, covering its entire body like a cocoon.
It spread its 6 pure white wings, each with 12 feathers.
From below, a figure emerged with silver hair that shone like moonlight, and golden eyes. With a body as curvaceous as a goddess, she revealed herself without hesitation, her feet gently touching the glass floor.
"(She)" walked up to the center and looked up. Like a miniature star, a gigantic sphere radiated a gentle, non-dazzling light.
Before long, a soft, gentle voice came from somewhere in the room.
'Welcome to Hlidskjalf (Administrator's Throne). Currently, Terrafomer007 is operating normally. To operate this device, please provide the administrative authority code issued by the Pangaea government.'
"......"
'...I have confirmed the Expert administrative authority code. Welcome back, Lucia Aron. You may use all functions of Terrafomer007. What would you like to do?'
"......"
'...I accept the request. I will destroy the artificial sub-Space, temporarily named [Spirit Temple], entirely. ...Processing complete. I have confirmed the complete disappearance of [Spirit Temple]. ...Shall I continue operating?'
"......"
'...I accept the request. I will move the 'Administrator's Throne' to the 50th floor of the resource production domain. The 51st floor will be deleted. Are you sure? Additionally, the function of the external magical device [Seal Temple], which sealed the 50th and 51st floors, will be partially stopped. Is that okay? ...I have accepted the request. The domain transfer and deletion have been completed. ...Shall I continue operating?'
"......"
'...I accept the request. I will start rebuilding the resource production domain. Please set the domain settings.'
"......"
'...I accept the request. Changing the domain settings to save the file as [Physical God Realm]... Warning! The network connection with [God Realm] is currently disconnected! Even if you build [Physical God Realm], you won't be able to use [God Realm]'s functions! Do you still want to build it?'
"......"
'...I have accepted the request. Rebuilding the closed-system resource production domain as [Physical God Realm]. The estimated completion time is approximately 720 hours from now.'
"......"
'...Next, I accept the request. Materializing the [God Realm Defense Mechanism] in the central floor... Warning! The network connection with [God Realm] is currently disconnected! Even if you build the [God Realm Defense Mechanism], you won't be able to use [God Realm]'s functions, and its performance will be severely limited! Do you still want to materialize it?'
"......"
'...I have accepted the request. ...We'll be waiting for your further use.'
After completing all operations, "(she)" smiled gently and nodded.
Everything was progressing towards a bright future――

Crash, crumb, crumb!!
The ominous creaking sounds were getting shorter in intervals. A few minutes after Aaron and the others disappeared using Chloe's teleportation magic, the [Temple] built 1,500 meters underground in the [Seal Temple] finally collapsed.
BOOOOMMM!!!!
With a tremendous roar, the [Temple] came crashing down.
The last pillar, which had been bearing the enormous weight, finally exceeded its limits, cracked, and broke in half. However, thanks to the massive magical energy supplied from the internal [God's Remains], the pillar was about to be repaired before it completely collapsed. Or so it seemed.
The countless magical energy lights running across the surface suddenly stopped, and the enormous pillar collapsed without any warning.
However, due to the material's strength, it managed to maintain a small space within the fallen [Temple] for a few minutes. The broken ceiling and the pillar, which had been crushed, barely supported the small gap.
Inside that space, Ickle's body lay beside the pillar, covered in blood.
Ickle's lower half was already crushed by the rubble, losing its shape. The remaining upper half would soon be crushed as well if left alone.
But then...
Something squirmed out from inside the broken pillar.
The area was already dark, without any light from the pillar.
But if there was a light source, it would be clear that the thing that crawled out of the broken pillar was an amorphous, 2-colored entity made of red and gold.
The entity squirmed and crawled out of the pillar, heading straight towards Ickle's body without hesitation.
Before long, it wrapped its amorphous body around Ickle's upper half, taking it into its own body.
The entity, now with Ickle's upper half inside, squirmed and changed shape.
In less than a minute, it transformed into a small, human-like figure.
As the girl placed the hand on the floor, she felt a strange sensation, and then she stood up. Her golden eyes, gazing upwards, seemed to pierce through the sky above Terra.
"Aaron Gale... Fiona Ackerman..."
A soft, childish voice, devoid of emotion, escaped from her small, pink lips.
What was she thinking? In the next instant, she released magical energy and vanished into the distance.
