The overlord of the gods is interrogating the alien female spy.

　Just moments ago, Prestis was curious to see how her work had changed, but after hearing the lynx's meows, her smile froze. She also heard the lynx's laughter, and in anger, she used the lynx's power to instantly kill it.

　"AM-10, is this all the growth you've achieved over the past ten thousand years? If so, you've truly disappointed me."

　With just one attack, she was defeated, and her most reliable partner, M3, was almost completely destroyed.

　Ah... the power of the Qilin is so strong. And for Precyth, who has used it, perhaps no one on this land can stop her schemes anymore.

　Kal'tsit thought to herself. She ignored Precys's gaze and rebuke, and simply looked at the Qilin.

　"A-Xu... wake up! Don't... let this woman..."

　What's wrong with this woman?

　Precyth looked at the lynx who was speaking riddles as soon as they met and wondered if he had included this trait when he designed her.

　"So, don't you want to explain to me what's going on here?"

　An angry woman was perched on his shoulder, and his lynx girlfriend, looking like she'd been robbed of her husband, rushed over only to be instantly defeated by his beloved wife.

　Chen Lingxu felt that the response he would get from asking the little monster over there was much more satisfying than the response from the two who got angry while playing.

　"what?"

　Kal'tsit felt like her eyes were about to run dry from crying, when suddenly the Kirin in front of her spoke, and it was the same voice she knew.

　"Kal'tsit, although I have imagined many scenarios for our reunion, I never thought of a scenario like this, where we start fighting as soon as we meet, and then we just cry without saying a word after the fight is over."

　Squatting down in front of the lynx, Chen Lingxu raised his hand to rub her head, then turned around and restored the little monster to its original state.

　“A-Xu, you…she…you…”

　Kal'tsit, with his arms around her, wiped away her tears. Looking at the Qilin in front of her, her mind was in a daze, and she had no idea what she should do or say.

　“I think you should calm down first, Kal'tsit. Then tell me properly what exactly is the reason for your… well, attitude towards her.”

　While rubbing Kai's head, Chen Lingxu also rubbed his face against Pu Xiaomao, who was gritting his teeth in anger, and took the time to soothe the little monster with his tail.

　"I……"

　Kal'tsit drank three large cups of tea in one go before she could finally calm down.

　Looking up again, the woman beside Qilin was gone, as if it had all been her imagination.

　Where is she?

　"Precyth went back to rest. She is currently in a spirit state, and it is difficult for her to manifest in the mortal world for too long without a physical body."

　"Oh... Ah Xu, are you... are you really alright?"

　"What could possibly be wrong with me? I should be asking you, why do you think I'd be manipulated by her? You have absolutely no confidence in me?"

　Why……

　Kal'tsit remembered something someone had said.

　"She...she took someone else's..."

　Can you say that?

　Her underlying code is difficult to break through... logically speaking, it's impossible to explain.

　But considering that I was able to tell him about Precyth before, these words should be fine, right?

　"She disregarded other people's wishes and arbitrarily changed their perceptions. Such heinous acts are beyond description!"

　"Ok?"

　Is there such a thing?

　Chen Lingxu raised an eyebrow, as if he had discovered some incredible dark history and instantly became interested.

　"Elaborate."

　Do I need to elaborate?

　Kal'tsit was certain once again that Chen Lingxu was special; speaking to him would not affect her in any way.

　Then Kal'tsit could finally speak her mind. She'd been holding back for ten thousand years, not even having someone to talk to properly.

　None of that happened. We finally found Chen Lingxu, but then he exploded with the source stone and disappeared.

　"So so, so so..."

　She recounted her entire story, from birth to being driven out of her home, without missing a single detail, and fiercely criticized Precy's ruthlessness, saying that this woman gave birth but did not raise her, providing neither education nor companionship, yet still claimed to be her creator.

　"Hmm...I see."

　Chen Lingxu found it amusing, but he didn't just treat it as a joke.

　"So, the prophet discovered that the devices she installed had been tampered with after leaving the stasis field hibernation pod. That's why she told you to be wary of her, right?"

　“That’s right. Ah Xu, you can’t trust what she says.”

　Having finally gotten to the bottom of things, Kal'tsit felt that even if she died now, it would be worth it.

　That's really interesting.

　He naturally recognized the pin Kal'tsit mentioned. It was a kind of anchoring device; the ship had such things when they went on space adventures before, usually used for positioning, so that if someone slipped in subspace orbit, they wouldn't end up in some star sector and be unable to find them.

　As for the act of installing pins to stabilize the spirit... it is understandable to maintain will and ensure the normal operation of the plan at the end of a civilization on the verge of collapse.

　Regarding the prophet, there is currently only Kal'tsit's description. In addition, she makes no attempt to hide her criticism of Prissis in her narration. She seems like a young girl complaining to her boyfriend that her mother is completely unreliable and wanting to vent her emotions. We still need to verify the information.

　From his perspective, Priscilla was always asleep, and upon waking, she behaved exactly like the one he knew. So what reason did she have to set such a trap for his lively and adorable little penguin?

　"This is an unavoidable, overt scheme. That's what she said when she went back into hibernation."

　Although Kal'tsit didn't know what it meant, seeing that Kirin seemed to know everything and was involved with Prissis, she told him about things she didn't understand, hoping to see if he had any information she didn't know.

　"Open conspiracy?"

　Although he found it strange, Chen Lingxu always felt that this matter was inextricably linked to him.

　"Little Precys, do you have something to say?"

　Chapter 87 Wouldn't it be better to just talk things out?

　"No response? Could it be because you're guilty and your words have hit the nail on the head, so you're afraid to reply?"

　Kal'tsit is still dealing damage.

　Seemingly confirming that Chen Lingxu was indeed not under control, she spoke much louder and straightened her back.

　"Oh? I was just thinking that the IQ I set for you was probably too low, so you don't understand the root of our conflict at all. You simply think that the problem with our bet is solely my fault."

　Precys used Chen Lingxu's words to scold his cat.

　This AMD-10 was a gift she gave to the Prophet, as a reward for her guidance in researching, improving, and advancing the Originium Project, and also as a testament to their friendship. However, all her emotions were attached to her little robot, and she was reluctant to invest too much emotion in any future creations, even those that were no different from humans in intelligence and could be considered true living beings.

　The life-loving Prismus had already 'died' in the event horizon of that black hole. The one who survived was to continue, and then waited for a reunion. Prismus is a cold sun in the Originium-infused universe.

　"Since you have asked so sincerely, I will mercifully answer you, Kal'tsit."

　Precyth was going to tell her all this, to tell this silly cat who was all about swearing and riddles.

　“After my beloved left me, I stayed on the Prophet’s ship. You know, she intended to call it Rhodes Island. I originally planned to use that name for our new love nest.”

　After all, the universe is so vast and there are so many people, it's quite normal for spaceships to have the same name.

　"We have been researching and exploring ways to save civilization before that thing appears."

　"The stasis field technique was widely used, so Friston proposed the Preservator Project, which aimed to wait for it to leave before waking up the survivors and attempting to revive the civilization."

　"Ed. Inspired by the sight of the Anjou people's last breath, he developed a superweapon, which he named Heaven's Pivot, in an attempt to contend with it by force."

　"Lu. Our biological expert, she found several... to use Terra's words, behemoths. These Titan creatures possess incredible power and strong vitality. They have accepted Lu's bioengineering program in an attempt to create an ultimate life form capable of interfering with the planet's environment."

　"And you know my choice. Originium, our culmination. I will not give it up. The prophet also saw its powerful potential and believed it would bring us hope. But we disagreed when discussing what form and appearance Originium should take in this universe in our future plans."

　For Precys, this final gift from her beloved was something she had the right to decide, but she also knew that Chen Lingxu, with his personality, could not tolerate a dull and boring life. Therefore, Precys chose the path of 'mechanical ascension'.

　The prophets, however, believe that the unpredictability of Originium can provide guidance for the next...

　This civilization brings hope and help, and perhaps in the future, it can take down the lumberjacks and allow life to continue in the universe with intact physical bodies.

　"In the very beginning, we added a fundamental logic to the Originium code that would prevent any harm to our civilization. That remains unchanged to this day. And in the very end, when it began to destroy our civilization, our final debate ended with a gamble."

　“I made a deal with her. If, when we wake up, Project Originium has progressed to the point of engulfing this planet, she will listen to me and continue developing Project Originium. If the civilization developed by those little things she brought has mastered the use of Originium, then I will listen to her.”

　"But you and I both know that she would never obediently keep her promise. Now it seems that she has indeed broken our agreement, waking up far ahead of time to try to interfere with the progress of those new civilizations. As punishment for breaking her promise, it is reasonable for me to set a trap for her."

　That sounds reasonable.

　"Even so, you can't... do this to her. You've altered her will. What will she become when she wakes up?"

　The lynx's voice was somewhat fierce but weak inside. If Precyth wasn't lying, then the prophet was the one who had made a mistake. What... what should she do?

　"Besides, it's not like I didn't give her a chance. I only installed the program in her hibernation pod. If she wanted to break the contract, she could have gone to Friston, Ed, or Lu. She could have gone to any of the empty hibernation pods. But she still went back, which means she knew she was wrong."

　With her prophetic abilities, she could have easily traversed Terra and gone anywhere using the technology available on Rhodes Island at the time.

　Precyth's eyes fell on the lynx in front of him.

　"Then, I'd like to know. Kal'tsit, since the prophet released you to interfere with this plan, can you tell me why there's so much contaminated redundant data in the current Originium-internalized universe?"

　"..."

　Kal'tsit's actions were exactly what the prophet wanted her to do.

　Interfering with the progress of a new civilization.

　She initially discovered the Tikkaz settlement and thus allowed the Tikkaz civilization to continue. However, upon discovering the Orcs, whose civilization was developing faster and more advanced than the Tikkaz's, she wanted to switch her support and instead instigated a war between the Orcs and the Tikkaz. This resulted in mutual destruction and unexpectedly impacted Project Originium, causing Oripathy, a chronic disease, to appear on Terra.

　Ultimately, the problems stemmed from her lack of experience and poor operational skills at the time.

　The lynx looked at the qilin, its eyes filled with resentment.

　"Ahem. About this matter."

　"Are you going to speak up for her, Ah Xu?"

　Precys had already researched the Originium information and knew what was going on. But now it was her turn to discipline the child, and if he tried to brush it off, she wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless and demote him from father to older brother.

　"Alright, alright. We've gone off-topic. We'll talk about the Originium issue later. Let's talk about our prophet first. What's her situation? What did you change?"

　Before the little ghost could get angry, Chen Lingxu grabbed her hand, calmed her down, and steered the conversation back on track.

　"I simply changed her understanding of Project Originium, making her lean towards supporting the project while also preventing any actions that could undermine it. This is the punishment for her breach of contract."

　"I see. Good punishment."

　Regardless of whose side he takes or whose side he speaks for, since the little penguin can't hear him anyway, and the Originium Project is under his control, it doesn't matter what he says now, so of course he'll support Precyth.

　"Woo..."

　But the lynx on the other side was quite disappointed.

　When someone she had always trusted was attacked like this, she couldn't even refute it; the lynx's ears drooped.

　"A comforting neigh"

　The little monster patted her head from behind to comfort her.

　“Speaking of which, Kal'tsit.”

　After Chen Lingxu voiced his support for Precyth, he inquired with Kal'tsit about the prophet.

　What did the prophet do when he took you out?

　"Hmm? Well. She wants to guide the development of a new civilization, teaching them to use Originium and other legacies to grow and prosper."

　Kal'tsit herself had lost much of her memory, but M3 still remembered it, so she recounted the events based on the information recorded by M3.

　"But for some reason, the ship that was brought from Tawei II had a problem and did not land as expected. Only Tikkaz exists on this land."

　The ship had a problem... that must have been due to a problem with the ship's AI, which was killed by the lumberjacks. It had nothing to do with him messing around inside.

　The Qilin Celestial Venerable nodded without changing his expression.

　"Her physical lifespan did not allow her to wait any longer, so she had no choice but to return to the stone coffin."

　But now Kal'tsit is also a little curious as to why the prophet doesn't go elsewhere to find other sarcophagi to sleep in. If she's worried about energy issues, Kal'tsit can just wake her up when the time comes.

　"Why don't we wake her up? Ask her ourselves?"

　Hearing Qilin's words, Kal'tsit glanced at the headband-wearing ghost opposite her who was still staring at her, and quickly shook her head.

　"At least, we need to solve her problem first before waking her up."
