"But when a Ship Girl fell into extreme despair... once she was stained black, she would undergo a reversal."
"..."
Thus, in essence,
the Meta faction consisted of reversed Ship Girls.
They were different from the Sirens, yet incomparably close to them.
That was the fundamental reason they possessed strength far beyond that of Normal Ship Girls.
Even as a whole!
Ship Girls were inferior versions of the Sirens.
No matter how completely they reversed, they could only approach the Sirens infinitely, never truly becoming equivalent to them.
At this point!
The Sirens had also come clean...
They stated that
beings like themselves were actually created by humanity, just like the Ship Girls.
It was merely that
the circumstances were different!
Why did Ship Girls spontaneously come into being in the ocean?
That was because... the Sirens had made arrangements for the entire ecosystem, the entire environment, or perhaps the entire world.
Why had humanity already been wiped out by the Sirens when the Ship Girls were born?
That was also because... humanity's extinction was the sole convergent point among countless world lines.
It was like the choice of Steins;Gate.
Among countless choices and countless currents, it was the one crucial point that could never be shaken.
Even the Sirens had been constantly observing the world and searching for an opportunity, all to break through into a future with an even worse outcome.
If they could truly preserve humanity and successfully select the one Commander from among countless humans...
Would they still have to work so hard?
"To put it simply."
"This world is incomplete. It is flawed. Fate wove its threads, and in the end, they became tangled into a dead knot. If it cannot be untied, there is no way to welcome the light..."
