A Visitor from Beyond This World
Immediately afterwards, a figure suddenly appeared behind Delta, and a delicate dagger in its hand swiftly fell toward Delta's spine.
"What a foolish move."
Someone made this comment, and then Delta suddenly turned around and grabbed the attacker's head.
Before the opponent could even activate Geass, Delta slammed him hard into VV in front of him.
The room trembled slightly.
The attacker and VV were smashed to pieces by Delta.
Their flesh and blood mingled and clung to the wall, indistinguishable from one another.
While this wouldn't kill VV, it would still inflict considerable pain on her; at the very least, when she was pulled off the wall, her face was already somewhat distorted.
However, for Delta, this amounted to impotent rage.
All the mistakes she made while learning to drive the Knightmare were now being vented by this wolf-tailed girl.
Although it was only a short five minutes, he killed VV hundreds of times and even took down all the cult assassins he brought with him.
She was like a berserker, seemingly impervious to any attack, only able to be unilaterally ravaged by her.
It was inevitable, as Delta's physical attributes were arguably the strongest among the Seven Shadows. Coupled with the effects of the injections, even ordinary firearms couldn't harm her, and her magic resistance was also exceptionally high.
Unless it's a tactical or strategic weapon.
But just as Delta was having a great time, a cold voice suddenly came through her headphones.
"Delta, five minutes are up. Retreat now."
"Yes, Lord Alpha!"
Delta stopped waving its claws instantly, its fur standing on end in fright, and darted into the woods and disappeared.
Before VV could even comprehend what had happened, the next second, a dazzling white light completely engulfed him.
Boom!!!
This was perhaps the most powerful explosion since the establishment of the Tokyo Settlement.
A flash of light appeared, instantly expanding into a highly destructive halo that mercilessly annihilated everything. The enormous sound seemed to shake the entire Japan.
If a clay-loving older brother saw such a breathtaking sight, he would definitely praise it as perfect, top-tier art, a work of art in a fleeting moment!
The next second, the white light vanished, and the broken crater resembled a gaping maw of Abyss, greedily sucking in everything around it.
Trees, houses, ruins, and even Knightmare on the battlefield were all shattered by the storm.
"... Is it finished, Nina...?"
On a floating ship similar to Avalon in Tokyo Bay, Lloyd and Cecile witnessed the explosion that had just taken place.
Lloyd even patted his chest with lingering fear, thankful that he hadn't gone to the battlefield.
Otherwise, they would definitely have been affected by the blast wave.
He could be said to be the one who understood the value of this explosion best, besides the creator, using uranium as the basis for the chain reaction to trigger the annihilation reaction that erupted from the Sakuradite.
He just thought it would be fun, so when he saw Nina doing something like that at the school festival, he offered a little help.
I never expected it to actually be completed.
However, it seems that the amount of Sakuradite used is not high; otherwise, the entire concession would have disappeared instantly.

Despair.
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in her ears as Mahiro walked step by step.
He didn't know when, but he was now all alone, having arrived at some unknown place.
However, if I had to say, I wasn't entirely alone.
Ahead of him stood a vague, ethereal figure.
Finally, the figure who had brought him here stopped in his tracks.
"What, are you not going to keep going?"
Mahiro asked with a half-smile.
Although he had been following the figure, he had long since realized something was wrong and knew it wasn't CC, but he didn't know the other party's purpose or true identity, so he decided to play along.
But now, the woman who looks exactly like CC has turned around and is looking at him.
"Nice to meet you, visitor from beyond this world."
Mahiro was immediately stunned.
It wasn't because of the other person's ethereal voice, which seemed to have its own reverberation, but because of the title, "Visitor from outside the world."
This matter should only be known to a very few people, such as CC, or Charles with his curly hair and Marianne.
The former came from his honesty, while the latter was based on speculation and indirect inquiries.
After all, the place he used to spend most of his time was the Aries Palace.
However, the woman in front of him...
Just as a multitude of guesses were popping into his head, the woman spoke again:
"Visitor, I have no ill intentions; there's no need to assume malice."
The woman perfectly guessed what he was thinking, as if she could read his mind.
Or perhaps, like in some far-fetched novels, this woman can hear his thoughts?
At this moment, the corners of the woman's mouth slightly turned up, and a smile that could captivate anyone suddenly appeared on her previously expressionless face.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the manager, but I have many names—the aggregation of consciousness, the collection of human minds and memories, the end of reincarnation, the great will, and some even call me [God]. But I prefer this name to all of them."
Alaya-vijnana.
Alaya-vijnana?
Upon hearing this, Mahiro's brow twitched slightly.
He couldn't possibly be unfamiliar with that name.
Alaya-vijnana is a transliteration of the Sanskrit word Alayavijnana. It is also translated as "Alayavijnana", "Alayavijnana", "Alaya-vijnana", etc. It is translated as "unobstructed consciousness" or "storehouse consciousness". It is also called "Adhana-vijnana", "original consciousness", "seed consciousness", "ripe consciousness", etc.
It is also the core concept of the "eight consciousnesses" doctrine of the Yogacara school of Indian Buddhism.
They advocate the concept of consciousness-only, believing that the essence of the world is emptiness, and that the Alaya-vijnana is the cornerstone of the generation of all things in the universe.
However, the interpretation of Alaya-vijnana varies in different film and television works.
The most common type is a collective of human consciousness.
For example, in a certain month next door, there is an Alaya-vijnana, and not only that, there is also Gaia. These two wicked things guard the gate of the root.
As she thought about it, a polite smile gradually appeared on Mahiro's face.
"So, Miss Alaya, why did you specifically lead me here? It's not just about showing up to introduce yourself, is it? Besides, I think this isn't our first meeting. Last time in CC's memory, that phantom was also you, wasn't it?"
The woman who claimed to be Alaya did not deny it; instead, she nodded frankly.
But then the tone shifted.
"However, you have quite a few questions. How about we sit down and chat?"
The woman casually waved her hand, and the chaotic space instantly became orderly, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle being pieced together. The ground beneath their feet transformed into a vast grassland, with the blazing sunlight streaming down from the sky and illuminating their shoulders.
The woman waved her hand a second time, and a tea table and two chairs appeared in front of them. On the tea table was a pot of steaming hot tea, from which wafted an enticingly sweet and rich aroma.
The woman picked up the teapot, poured tea into the cup in front of him, and then sat down opposite him, gesturing for him to take a seat.
Seeing this, Mahiro didn't refuse and simply pulled out a chair and sat down.
Adhering to the principle that one shouldn't miss out on a good deal, he picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
"Not bad courage."
The woman smiled and praised, "Aren't you afraid I might poison your tea?"
Why be afraid?
Mahiro raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "If you want to kill me or get rid of me, why go to all this trouble?"
"If you didn't do that, it means you simply couldn't, or for some reason, you had no way to hurt me..."
At this point, Mahiro paused, then added:
"And killing me wouldn't be an easy task."
Although there was some arrogance in his words, it was a fact.
There is virtually no possibility of killing him.
Because the magic of "Regrowth" is not the usual kind of healing that accelerates cell division.
Rather, it possesses a more wondrous power—the magic of tracing back through time. Essentially, it replicates an individual from the timeline and pastes them onto this specific point in time, making it appear as if they have been healed.
If you really want to kill him, you have to start from the timeline and erase him from history that he can trace back.
"You're right."
The woman nodded, her chin resting on her hands, her thighs, encased in white stockings, crossed beneath the table, and she gazed at him with a smile.
Or rather, he was being sized up.
He didn't like that look in his eyes, and frowned slightly as he said:
"Let's get down to business. What's the purpose of calling me here?"
Although he was indeed a time traveler, a stowaway, he didn't do anything like those agents or steal the world's origin.
His idea might simply be as simple as traveling and seeing the scenery.
Therefore, we shouldn't have come into contact with such a being in the first place.
But upon hearing his question, the woman picked up a teaspoon and gently stirred the tea in front of her, responding with an irrelevant reply:
"You just asked me if this wasn't our first meeting? The answer is yes, the phantom I saw in CC's memory was indeed me."
"And my purpose in luring you here is certainly not just to introduce myself and have a chat over tea..."
At this point, the woman opposite him suddenly placed her teaspoon on the saucer, looked up and met his gaze, a serious look appearing in her amber eyes.
"Visitor from beyond this world, Yotsuba Mahiro, I've come to you with no ill intentions, but I hope you will cease interfering in the course of history... or, in your words, the plot."
"You should know that Charles and Marianne are plotting a world-changing scheme, shouldn't you?"
Mahiro nodded.
He must know that wanting to kill the gods and create a world without lies...
But can something like that really kill a god?
"OK."
The woman saw through his thoughts, gave him an affirmative answer, and even offered an explanation for him.
The Akasha Sword, or the Sword of the Void, is indeed a weapon capable of killing His Alaya-vijnana.
That thing was found by the ancients in the C's World through Geass and Code. They found the root of Geass, Alaya-vijnana, which is Him, and attempted to kill Him with the Akasha Sword and take His place.
And He is essentially a collection of human unconsciousness. If He truly achieves this, He can indeed manipulate humanity and build an ideal world that He desires.
But He didn't want to die.
So He found the visitor before Him.
"Visitor from beyond this world, Yotsuba Mahiro, I don't think you'd want to just watch your girlfriends become puppets being manipulated, would you?"
Are you threatening me?
Mahiro narrowed his eyes slightly, and a scarlet light suddenly appeared in his pupils, along with a dazzling six-pointed star magic circle.
A chilling killing intent instantly enveloped the person in front of him.
"No, I'm just stating a simple fact."
As if completely oblivious to his murderous intent, the woman picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and acted as if it were none of her business.
