However, Akane Shinjo didn't end up using that pose.

With the activation of [Instance Abreaction], Gridman and Zero successfully detached themselves from the old computer and felt the sensation of regaining their bodies. Zero couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, but before he could finish his thought, another violent tremor struck.

It is Subaru's battle; outside this miniature world, the battle has become even more intense.

Zero looked up and saw that the sky of this little garden world was shattered by the tremor, but the crack was immediately filled with golden light. It must have been the protective mechanism left here by Subaru.

but....

To everyone's surprise, the crack in the sky was seen not only by Zero but also by everyone else. Only Gridman reacted strongly to it, with every part of his body that could emit light flashing, making those around him extremely nervous.

'I remember now.....'

"Huh?!" XN

"Hmm? Hehehe, I see..."

When Gridman finally stopped flickering, everyone except Alexis, including Zero, exclaimed in surprise as they listened to his whisper. "Wait, why did you suddenly remember this? What's going on with you?"

"Just think of him as a computer that was disconnected from the internet."

Alexis gently answered everyone's questions, saying softly:

"This miniature world did provide him with some protection, but it also severed his connection with his original body. The crack just now allowed him to reconnect to the network and successfully download the necessary data from his original body's 'server'... Ha, I didn't expect it to be so simple. I was really blind to what was right under my nose."

"I see, then Gridman..."

Akane Shinjo nodded, then quickly looked at the super agent beside her and said:

"What did you remember?"

"I remember now, the root of this aggregated universe is me, it is I, Gridman, who created these countless universes, which is the reason for the birth of this 'Gridman Universe'."

"Gridman Universe...?"

Nanmu Mei, looking surprised, pondered Gridman's words. Shinjo Akane, also having doubts, asked:

"Gridman, you said you created... this composite universe? Wait, doesn't this completely contradict what Alexis said?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Alexis. The alien paused for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly:

"Ah, at first, that's what I thought too. After all, the Azalea Terrace miniature world was originally outside the [Assembly Universe Plane]...that is, the [GRIDCOM Universe], and was swallowed up. So I assumed that other worlds were like that too, but..."

Alexis's gaze fell on Nan Mengya and the others, and he said softly:

"When I saw you, I knew I was wrong. Things are not as I imagined at all. In the Gridman Universe, besides this miniature world and other universes that have been swallowed up, there are many more worlds like the one you live in."

"What on earth are you going to say?"

Zero crossed his arms and said with some dissatisfaction, to be honest, he was also getting a little fed up with this kind of riddle-solving person. At this moment, the tremors in the sky were still coming from time to time, and it was clear that Genji's side was in the middle of a fierce battle. Zero was eager to rush out and provide some support.

"The world where Nan Mengya and the others live did not exist before."

Alexis spoke softly, but his words were like a bomb dropped in everyone's hearts, startling Nan Mengya, Shima, and the others into wide-eyed stares.

"What do you mean by that?!"

Shima hurriedly pressed Alexis for answers, while Zero's gaze also fell on Minami Mumei, trying to discern the difference, but he couldn't. However, Shinjo Akane, as the 'Creator Goddess,' seemed to have thought of something and looked at Alexis beside her.

The alien sighed helplessly and, using a method similar to telepathy, instructed Shinjo Akane on how to use his access to the Azalea Garden world. Frankly, he hadn't originally planned to teach Shinjo Akane these things, but now...

I feel I need to quickly appease Shinjo Akane and try to get this pure 'human' to say a few good words for me. Otherwise, given Minamoto Subaru's temper, he might just come back and kill me without even looking back after he's finished dealing with things outside.

Listening to Alexis's words, Shinjo Akane nodded, and then slightly used her authority in the Azalea Terrace. Immediately, her unique perspective brought her a different answer, and the truth about Nan Muya and the others appeared before her.

Upon noticing the slight change in Shinjo Akane's expression, Takarada Rikka immediately moved closer to Minami Mume, realizing that Minami Mume and the others seemed to be in no better shape than she was.

"The universe you live in, the planet you inhabit, and you yourselves were all created by Gridman using Subaru's dreamlike power."

Akane Shinjo and Alexis exchanged a glance, and in the end, Akane Shinjo revealed the truth to everyone:

"Just as I created the Azalea Terrace miniature world, everything about you was also fabricated by other 'gods'."

Nan Mengya: "This...this.."

Lost Horse: "You're kidding, right...?"

Chise Asukagawa: "So we're all the same kind of beings after all?"

Yamanaka Reki: "..."

Hearing Akane Shinjo's words, the four members of Dyna Raptors were all stunned. Alexis also chimed in, saying softly:

“The Gridman was originally a formless life form. The Gridman we see now is a creation of humans. Since he was created by humans, the Gridman himself also obtained the authority of creation... This is not surprising, especially after he merged with Subaru's main body and obtained such a huge and magical power to create one universe after another. It is not surprising at all.”

After saying this, Alexis sighed and said softly:

"This is exactly what I wanted to say to Gen Ang. If he could draw upon his original power from those created universes, perhaps this battle wouldn't be so difficult right now. And even if he doesn't draw upon it, he should still pay more attention to those created universes."

Alexis's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the crowd before him and said:

"Because... those universes were created after Gridman was controlled by evil intentions. Although I don't have evidence now, I can deduce something from your experiences. Those created universes are probably equivalent to detonators. If those universes are destroyed, it might directly push the Gridman universe to the brink of collapse."

Alexis shook his head as if in pain, then sighed again and said:

"Honestly, why won't that kid let me finish what I have to say? Although it was just speculation back then, it seems that I guessed everything right. If this [Gridman Universe] explodes, what exactly was he protecting?"

"Did Gridman use Subaru's power to create countless universes...?"

The truth revealed by Akane Shinjo and Alexis was so unreasonable that Rikka Takarada was speechless for a moment:

"Is he powerful enough to do such a thing?"

"Yes, that impetuous little kid has such power. It's really weird. I've lived for so long and I've never seen a kid so outrageous."

To be honest, no one is even thinking of responding to Alexis's complaints anymore. The city—Azalea Terrace—was created by a young girl. Even Rikka Takarada, who knows this, finds it hard to believe. And it's not just about cities and the world; if someone can even create the universe itself—then their actions have already transcended the realm of gods.

However, this fact seems to be the premise for the conversation just now, not the part about whether it is feasible.

"Then what to do next?"

Zero looked at Gridman, who was busy organizing data and hadn't said a word, and said anxiously:

"Gridman, now that you've regained your memories, you should have a plan, right?"

"Ah, there is indeed a solution. The main body made me accompany Subaru to deal with this increasingly terrifying situation."

Although Gridman said this, everyone sensed the complexity in his tone, so they were not happy, but waited even more nervously for him to continue: "If Subaru is still here and still in fusion with me, he should be able to merge with Gridman who has become the universe if he uses the original fusion device to perform an ACCESS FLASH!"

Gridman softly recounted the original plan, which was now impossible to realize: "If Subaru can complete the fusion, he will unify the Gridman that has expanded to the scale of the universe, bringing the scattered Gridman together again. Gridman's true self-awareness will also break free from the suppression of evil intentions, regain its power, and influence the outcome of this battle!"

But...now....

Gen Subaru has already left.

Looking at the chair the boy had been sitting in, everyone fell silent for a moment. Then, Nan Mengya seemed to remember something, her expression hardening. She stepped forward, looked at Gulit, and said firmly:

"Gridman, let me transform. I am Subaru's human form. His light flows through my body, and I am a creation made from his power. So... perhaps I am a suitable replacement!"

"No, that won't work." X2

However, Nan Mengya's proposal was immediately rejected by Gridman and Alexis.

Gridman: "Miss Minami Mumei, that's a price you can't afford. If we follow the original plan and undergo that transformation, it would be equivalent to replacing the will of the entire Gridman Universe. That kind of thing isn't a problem for Subaru, but it's far too difficult for you."

Alexis: "Yes, although I'm reluctant to admit it, that kid is one of a kind. This incident was probably caused by something happening to his body. Otherwise, this crisis in the Gridman universe probably wouldn't have had a chance to happen at all."

"Boom!!!!"

Just then, a shocking sound came from the Azalea Terrace miniature world. Everyone looked up and saw the crack that had reappeared in the sky, as well as the shadow of the monster outside the crack.

"It seems that evil intent is starting to get impatient and wants to trigger a major collapse. Its canine fangs have already come here."

Seeing this, Zero swung his arm and said in a deep voice:

"But if you want to cause trouble in front of me, you're still 20,000 years away!"

After saying that, Zero flew directly towards the rift in the sky. Although the mechanism left by Subaru was still protecting this place, Zero knew that the protection mechanism had a limit. If more of it was consumed now, the impact intensity that this world could withstand would decrease. Therefore, luring away and eliminating the monster now was not a bad thing for this world.

after all....

Zero doesn't think his current power will be of much use when the protective mechanisms fail.

Watching Zero leave, Akane Shinjo's gaze then fell on Gridman, and she said in a low voice:

"Isn't there a backup plan? You combined giant robot can't possibly have no other options, can you?"

"...Yes, there is a way, but...it requires...the assistance of electronic life forms."

It was clear that Gridman was quite conflicted when he said this, and there was a hint of resentment in his voice. As a super agent, he had been unable to do almost anything from the beginning until now, which was truly humiliating. But given the current situation, he had no choice but to say it.

And electronic life forms...

All eyes involuntarily fell on Rikka Takarada. Sensing everyone's gaze, Rikka gently placed her hand on her wrist, touching the slightly warm Evolution Trust. As if making a decision, she looked at Gridman and said:

"What do you need me to do, Gridman?"

"Next, I will shut down my consciousness."

Gridman looked at the girl in front of him and said seriously:

"That is, suicide. When my record disappears, my data will be recycled back to my original body. This is my destiny as part of the [GRIDCOM] universe. But I can manipulate it to turn my dead self into a passage so that Miss Baoduo can go to the place where my original consciousness is."

Hearing this, Shinjo Akane involuntarily pursed her lips. Rikka Takarada, who was essentially similar to Gridman, was indeed a suitable person, but...

"You'll lose yourself if you do that!"

"Ugh?"
