The most distinctive feature of this style of church is its rectangular nave, which is devoid of unnecessary furnishings. The stone pillars on both sides act as guardians, creating a sense of depth as they extend from near to far.
From a practical point of view, such a central hall can accommodate more believers and provide more space for activities near the altar when performing religious services.
From an aesthetic point of view, the deep hall and transepts expand the space of the altar, enhancing the sense of holiness with their grandeur, giving people a feeling of traversing a magnificent and long pilgrimage route, inspiring them to worship.
Passing through the gatehouse, the central garden comes into view.
A huge female statue, with her hands clasped in prayer at her chest, stands atop the fountain in the center of the garden.
That is, the central position of the entire atrium.
Cecilia recognized him:
“That’s… a statue of Saint Karen!”
As the (former) saintess of the Shaniat family, she naturally studied the inner workings of Destiny (Otto's revised version).
Carefully making my way through the garden...
The Lawgiver of Knowledge suddenly spoke:
"I don't think it's necessary to go into this church!"
Her rule-bound behavior made her feel like ants were crawling all over her body.
“I say… we can just smash it from the outside. No matter what traps Otto has set up inside, or where he’s hiding, we can just smash it all!”
Shi Bao's words seemed to open a door to a new world for everyone.
This is a typical blind spot in thinking.
Most of the time, they fight as protectors, often constrained by their own limitations, fearing harm to the environment, buildings, and innocent civilians...
But this isn't reality!
They can go all out and smash everything.
Just as they were preparing to do so.
"I'm sorry, my old friend..."
The golden blade in Sirin's hand pierced through the body of Fu Hua, the Herrscher of Consciousness.
“Immortal Red Iris, I cannot allow you to do as you please here.”
……
In the theater under their control.
Celine is still persevering.
too weird!
Why haven't the others arrived yet?
The masked blonde clown continued her performance on stage, oblivious to everything else, while countless silver, metallic puppets attacked her relentlessly from below.
The clown said, "Too many people here hate you. Those you have hurt hate you."
Otto removed his mask and walked to the other side: "It doesn't matter, it's just the wailing and curses of the weak."
Wearing a clown mask, he said, "Those kind and honest people hate you if everything is exposed."
After removing his mask again, Otto said, "It's okay, they'll never know."
People with genuine kindness and integrity are mostly in low positions, while public opinion is controlled by those in power.
Therefore, kindness is mostly foolishness.
Otto recalled the faces of those ignorant people who attacked and insulted Karen.
Sometimes, foolish kindness is more disgusting than pure evil!
A sudden inspiration seemed to strike Celine.
Unfortunately, Otto was performing his noisy show, which annoyed her, and the stage was like a mirage that could not be attacked.
In addition, during the intense battle, her already slow-thinking brain simply couldn't be distracted enough to grasp this glimmer of inspiration.

Chapter 207 Apostle Mechs
Sirin tried to use a more concentrated attack to grind the Soul Steel Otto into dust, destroying even the nanomechanical structure, but that only slowed down their regeneration.
After combining with the power of imaginary numbers, these puppets developed many properties that surpassed those of ordinary soul steel.
"Gale, submit to me!"
The wildly dancing blue mist, like a giant dragon, roared and wreaked havoc throughout the theater.
The entire theater suddenly expanded like a balloon, but unfortunately, it ultimately did not reach its limit.
Sirin's all-out attack, an attack that could have overturned an entire continent, failed to break through this space.
It began to slowly shrink and repair itself.
"it's useless."
As the music ended, Otto on stage ceased his solo performance and began to speak:
"As long as this space continues to be blessed by the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, my authority will continue to be regenerated."
The battle between the dominant clown and Sirin continues.
The situation appears to be at a stalemate, but the latter's Honkai energy has already been almost completely depleted...
Otto was somewhat puzzled at this moment.
Where did Mebius go?
With just these people, and given that they are controlled by the Imaginary Tree and cannot openly hold back, they may not be able to defeat him.
……
Chen Jie took out a specially made data cable from the dimensional gap—one that was designed for personal terminals.
After the nanomechanical fluid of the personal terminal is injected into the body, it will automatically build a structure according to the individual's body shape, and there will be a non-invasive data interface in the occipital region.
In the future, people will undergo a simple surgery when they are very young to kill hair follicles on their scalp, which are about the size of a fingernail, using lasers so that data cables can be attached to the back of their heads.
No insertion is required, there are no traumas or openings, and signals are communicated through the skull.
On the bright side, if everyone had Mediterranean-like features, one less factor would cause discrimination between people.
He plugged the other end of the data cable into the computer.
The information stored in the terminal was thus imported into the computer—Chen Jie had started designing it a long time ago, but it had never been put into actual manufacturing.
And now.
Various resources and materials were transported directly to Beatrice through a spatial gate, and Raiden Mei piloted the artificial god to help assemble them.
For certain complex parts, Walter 3D Printing Yang can also be responsible for them.
That's right, that's the real reason Chen Jie kept him.
The Law of Reason is really useful.
It's hard to believe that a mecha nearly 100 meters long and weighing over 70 tons could be manufactured in just half an hour.
The cost was that Walter was exhausted again, and he dismantled ten mass-produced Anti-Entropy machines and more than one hundred Titans.
The MRS-type high-strength Honkai Beast silicon-based body filler, which has been improved several times by Anti-Entropy, is shaped into muscle shape using Soul Steel and encapsulated with a mechanical structure as an exoskeleton.
The tiny details are then drilled in with Soul Steel for repair.
This semi-biological armor was thus constructed.
"How do you control the Soul Steel so obediently and flexibly?" Tesla asked curiously as the girl with red twin tails tapped the shell of the SP-2.
"And this Reversal Key, who did you have modified it? It's completely unrecognizable!"
"You didn't use it as a combat mech, did you?!"
Chen Jie thought to himself, "You guessed right. Also, this evolved spontaneously after devouring other technological creations. If you have to put it another way, it might have been modified by a simulator."
"The situation is complicated, and sometimes I have to make some emergency responses, but now that I have the apostle, I shouldn't have to use it to fight anymore."
The combat power provided by the SP-2 has gradually become insufficient to meet Chen Jie's needs. At least until it accumulates enough technology points to advance again, its role is gradually shifting towards a more functional direction.
For example, if a new piece of equipment is released, you can use SP-2's skills to couple it and see what new and interesting abilities it might produce.
Furthermore, hyperdimensional hacking remains extremely useful.
Walter looked at the design drawings of the entire mech:
"Forgive my ignorance, Mr. Stranger, could you explain to me the working principle of this mech?"
That shouldn't be!
He was, after all, a researcher. Although, like Raiden Ryoma, he gradually shifted his focus to managing the anti-entropy industry, he still had a solid foundation; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to handle the Law of Reason ability...
The reality is that even using his powers, he couldn't analyze the things Chen Jie had brought out.
Looking at Einstein and Tesla, both of whom appeared worried and thoughtful, Walter guessed...
Either the core materials Mr. Stranger presented exceeded the scope of his authority, or the mecha utilized knowledge from other worlds.
Chen Jie explained to those present: "This is actually an ability enhancement and amplification device."
Inspired by EVA, and the Golden Throne created during the bizarre resurrection event.
"I am very strong."
As expected, when he said those three words, everyone looked at him like he was kidding them.
"Think about it, my soul can travel through different worlds and times... The memories of my multiple selves are intertwined, my soul must be more powerful than that of an ordinary person."
"It's just that Elke's body can't fully unleash this power."
As Chen Jie spoke, he opened the cockpit of the Apostle Mech.
The entire cockpit is very spacious, enough for him to enter while wearing SP-2. This way, even if the Apostle mech is destroyed, he can escape by ejecting from the second inner mech.
The warm, viscous liquid engulfed him from bottom to top, causing SP-2 to deform and develop many cheese-like holes on its surface.
When liquid seeps in, a sudden transition from a gaseous environment to a liquid environment will cause a person to cough and choke on water involuntarily.
In reality, this protective liquid is breathable inside, and it's even safe to drink. It also replenishes sugar and salt. At Chen Jie's request, a small amount of orange flavoring was added.
The protective fluid enhances shock resistance and the driver's resistance to acceleration, which is crucial.
Otherwise, this situation might occur: as soon as the mech starts running/flying/sprinting in a straight line, the pilot is directly blown to pieces by the super-gravity caused by the acceleration.
Normal tolerance is around 2G, pilots can withstand up to 8-9G, and with special training they can reach 10-12G, but only for a short time.
The biggest reason why fighter jets cannot perform too many fancy maneuvers and high-maneuverability tactics is not because of reaction speed or the strength of the airframe materials, but because the pilot is prone to losing consciousness when doing so.
In 2020, two U.S. military pilots experienced brief periods of unconsciousness due to high G-forces while flying F-16 fighter jets.
The crash was averted because the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (AtoGCAS) intervened and controlled the fighter jet.
The pressure-resistant device developed by Elke and several other scientists from Anti-Entropy allows ordinary people without any training to withstand accelerations of 20-30G.
First, the driver wears a tough, sealed outer jacket, plus a sealed inner liner, with a large amount of highly viscous liquid poured in between the layers, utilizing the principle of a pressure vessel.
When the body is under excessive weight, blood flows in the opposite direction of acceleration, and the fluid inside the pressure-resistant suit also flows to the same area.
Because the outer layer of the pressure suit is very flexible, this part of the liquid will not flow out. The pressure in this area increases, and the body inside is then subjected to uniform pressure from the surrounding area, thus preventing excessive blood from flowing to that area.
It thus played a role in resisting pressure.
The most significant harm caused by overload and excessive weight to the human body is that blood cannot flow to the whole body as normally as it would. In particular, if the brain is deprived of oxygen, fighter pilots may experience symptoms such as blurred vision and confusion.
Highly viscous liquids can also be used as an aid to reduce the violent vibrations caused by acceleration...
There are many complex mechanisms and principles involved, but it doesn't really matter if you don't understand them.
All you need to know is that this thing is awesome.

P.S.: The above theories are all cobbled together and made up by me based on various knowledge from the internet and other science fiction works. If there are any errors or omissions, I welcome professional experts to point them out and help me learn something new.
PS2: The size of the mecha is based on the EVA Unit-01 setting—103 meters tall and 74 tons in weight.
