Prior to this, Morgan had explained the deduction to him privately. Originally, they planned to remove the seven Lostbelts and then return to Antarctica to investigate.
Unfortunately, the alien apostles did not sit idly by. They secretly pushed forward their plan and eventually used the most prosperous Imaginary Tree to bring about the descent of the "Alien God".
"That's quite a condescending tone. The girl I know, even if she's a noblewoman of magic, wouldn't be this arrogant to a complete stranger," Shiomi said calmly.
"What?" The 'Alien God' frowned, not understanding what tide Jian said.
tide Jian had no regrets about this, as there were more pressing matters waiting for them.
The "Alien God" casually summoned a gravity field, or rather, a small black hole.
At this very moment, the bottomless black vortex in the sky is devouring the Orbital Temple, the Interstellar City Mountain Range, and finally, this Lostbelt.
If it were just alien apostles, it would be fine, but after seeing U-Olga Marie, who called herself the "Alien God," he realized that the current situation was very troublesome.
Having faced Zeus and Chaos in succession, and having risked his life to return to the Temple of Orbit, he was actually quite exhausted.
—Although they reunited with Melusin, who was unwilling to return, halfway through the journey, and she saved some of their strength, it was still a drop in the ocean.
To interfere with the 'Alien God's' gravitational field, and at the same time face attacks personally launched by the 'Alien God'...
"Now that my husband has returned, he's preparing for everyone to evacuate, and we'll cover the rear?" Morgan seized the opportunity, before the 'Alien God' launched its attack, to ask Shiomi for her thoughts.
Shio reached out her hand: "My wife, do you still believe me? I promised I wouldn't leave you alone again, yet I still did that... I know how lucky I was to be back this time, so—"
"It's come to this?" Morgan was momentarily stunned.
"It's precisely because things have come to this point that I need to ask again," tide Jian said, pursing her lips and asking very seriously.
“My trust in you will not change until the end of this planet,” Morgan said.
The answer was neither surprising nor necessary.
"Then, take my hand."
When Shio said that, Morgan had already taken his hand.
"Sneaking around like that, what kind of underhanded tricks are you up to? It's incredibly rude!"
Sensing the change in the magical reactions of the two, the 'Alien God' raised his hand without warning and unleashed a long-range beam attack, hitting the two of them.
The massive impact forced back all their companions behind them.
Scáthach had no choice but to raise her gun to block: "A mere casual attack, yet it possesses power comparable to an A-rank Noble Phantasm?"
This made Scáthach worry about her beloved apprentice and Morgan.
If they were to die in battle or commit suicide for love right under their master's nose, they would have even less reason to laugh.
However, the magical reaction did not disappear; on the contrary, it showed signs of increasing.
In the thick smoke and dust, two shooting stars flashing with blue light rose higher into the sky, approaching the gravity field created by the "Alien God".
The two meteors swirled and intertwined, like twin flowers that share life and death, shining together and eventually merging into an even brighter star, illuminating the dark night sky and the orbital temple where the light of the Tree of Imagination was absent.
No one understood what had happened, including the "Alien God".
"That is……"
The "Alien God" widened his eyes.
"What exactly is the result outside of calculation?" asked the alien apostle who looked like a young scholar.
The apostle, a middle-aged gentleman, shook his head: "I don't understand... what exactly is that..."
The starlight gradually faded, and only Morgan remained.
Only Morgan remained; Shiomi had vanished.
However, Morgan's demeanor also changed. Not only did her magical power increase in scale, but she also exuded a divine aura that she shouldn't have possessed, instantly achieving a level playing field with the 'Alien God' who was at the height of his power.
"This is..."
Morgan raised his hand and looked at his body.
It is my own body, yet it is not my own body.
Magic power, physical strength, and spiritual power have all increased dramatically, as if they have entered a completely new realm.
"This is the result of our power merging into one."
Shiomi's voice echoed in Morgan's mind.
"Two...to become one." Morgan was initially shocked, but gradually came to understand the situation.
Long ago, on the day they first came together, Shiomi had told her, "Two things in harmony are better than two completely separate individuals."
They had reached a perfect harmony.
When two things reach perfect harmony and decide to merge into one, the result will be "one plus one is greater than two".
"It's already quite good for a debut, but it's a pity we lacked time to work together," Shiomi said softly. "This is my apology to you, and also my love for you. Considering the strength of the 'Alien God,' we can only maintain the same intensity of combat for a maximum of five minutes before we can no longer sustain this stance."
"Five minutes is enough!"
Morgan was unusually excited, which she thought must be due to Shiomi's inner influence.
Chapter 118 A Brand New Appearance
Where are you looking?!
The next second, the "Alien God" appeared before him, raised his glowing hand, and swung it at Morgan.
With absolute confidence that he could kill the strange enemy before him, Morgan raised his magic gun to block the attack. As his hand collided with the gun, the impact of the magic transformed into a violent light.
“Of course I’m watching you,” Morgan replied quietly.
"...What exactly are you?" Angry glint appeared in the eyes of the 'Alien God,' who still hadn't grasped the situation. "Where did that man go?"
"He's right here, fighting alongside me against you."
Without needing to think or judge, as if it were a fighting instinct etched into his body, Morgan used the magic gun in his hand with a level of proficiency beyond his comprehension to repel the charging "alien god".
"This...power?" The 'Alien God' was shocked. "A mere fairy can actually be on par with me?"
"A fairy? No, that's not right." Morgan gracefully opened his arms, calmly looking at the 'Alien God'. "I am not a fairy now. Before you is a being who has combined the power of the newly born god Teholm and merged with it, named 'One God Morgan'."
"The One God?"
Upon hearing this declaration, the "Alien God" finally understood that Shioji Tenkyu had not disappeared, but had instead devoted everything to Morgan, merging with him and transforming into an even more powerful form.
While the "Alien God" was still in shock, Morgan had already relayed the order to retreat to Scáthach in the palace and to the Storm Border.
"We can't let them realize our plans, so we'll stop them here," Shiomi said.
Morgan nodded, raised his hand, and turned his palm toward the gravitational field.
In just over a minute, the rubble of the Orbital Temple had already been lifted into the air, forming a trail of debris that stretched into the black hole, before turning into tiny, invisible dust particles.
"Contract, stop."
A command-like voice rang out, and Morgan intervened in the gravitational field.
For her, eliminating gravitational fields was more theoretical than practical.
Even if one could understand what was going on, one would not be able to use their powers to effectively intervene because they are not gods.
Now, thanks to Shiomi's complete trust, she is also able to exercise her powers as a god!
This is not without cost.
Morgan knew very well that at this moment, neither of them was on guard.
Whoever has a higher spiritual status can easily take everything from the other.
No wonder tide Jian just asked her if she believed him.
He had no intention of hurting her at all, but he was still worried that she might be concerned about it.
The reverse is also true.
Because Shiomi was completely unprepared, it would be easy for Morgan to seize the divine power for himself.
But how can any of that compare to his importance?
She was willing to give up even when her ideals could not coexist with his.
Morgan calmly exercised his powers, intending to dispel the gravitational field of the "Alien God".
Without the Imaginary Tree, the disappearance of the Lostbelt is only a matter of time, but the prerequisite is to give our companions time to retreat.
"Let it boil!"
The "Alien God" clearly did not intend to sit idly by while Morgan eliminated the gravity field, and thus began to seize control of the gravity field, which had already been completed and no longer needed to be manipulated.
The black hole, which had already begun to shrink, stopped changing once again. It remained in a certain position, unable to grow larger or smaller.
“Good, they’ve drawn their attention… Master should already be leading everyone in a retreat,” tide Jian said.
Morgan shook his head: "Not enough, don't you think she's still quite adept at it?"
“That’s right, let’s put more pressure on the ‘Alien God’ then,” Shio agreed.
While vying for control of the black hole and being drawn into the opponent's battle rhythm, the "Alien God" suddenly noticed Morgan raising his other hand, and countless cyan demonic spears appeared in the void, aiming at his location.
In haste, the "Alien God" had no choice but to launch a counterattack. While this did not distract her from the struggle for control of the black hole, it further prevented the "Alien God" from paying attention to other matters.
An astonishing battle erupted above the detached palace of the Great Temple.
The alien apostles intended to give chase, but Morgan's casual attack cut off their path.
"It seems she's a bit carried away," Kirei Kotomine said.
“If this continues, they might have to resort to the final means to end the battle,” the young scholar said. “That guy Wuming has already retreated.”
“Let’s retreat too, we can deal with the rest later.” Kirei looked at the Crystal Mountain Range. “If this thing were to detonate nearby, even I don’t have the confidence to survive.”
Subsequently, taking advantage of the chaos between the "Alien God" and the "United God," the alien apostles left the interstellar city and this alien zone.
As the black hole struggled, it grew smaller and smaller until it finally became a single point and vanished into the void.
The gravity that had swallowed up the entire interstellar city mountain range finally disappeared.
Morgan also stopped the attack of the magic spear, preparing to use the next Noble Phantasm attack to severely injure the "Alien God" before retreating.
Killing the "Alien God" will not be easy, a point Morgan and Shiomi both agreed on.
The situation in the Central Lostbelt has begun to show signs of collapse.
Continuing to drag the battle on would not be a good thing.
StormBorder has successfully contained its companions, including Melusin.
"I'll give you the black hole. As a tribute to your hard work, you'll perish along with this Lostbelt."
The "Alien God" raised his chin and made a ruthless declaration.
“This guy—” Shiomi noticed.
"—Intending to detonate the magic of the Crystal Mountain Range?" Morgan was also taken aback.
However, it soon became clear.
Since it possesses the spirit origin of Beast, then Beast's specialty, "solo manifestation," is naturally within its grasp.
It would be simpler to leave during the explosion.
Both of them were suddenly relieved that they hadn't planned to fight to the death; otherwise, if they had forced Chaldea to pull this move ahead of time, Chaldea would have been truly in dire straits.
"Heh, hehe, hahahahahaha!"
Olga Marie's "ignition" caused the crystal mountain's internal magic to rapidly become unstable, transforming it into a giant magic bomb.
"For my first battle on this planet, to be faced with beings like you is truly exhilarating, far more so than annihilating the insignificant and powerless humans! I will probably never forget you! Probably!"
With a crude mockery, "Alien God"... U-Olga Marie turned in the light and left the alien zone.
The crystalline mountain range, which stores almost endless magical power, has also reached a critical point.
Chapter 119 Imaginary Removal
When Storm Border returned to the sky above the blank Earth after its Imaginary voyage, the people on board were able to observe a massive amount of magical energy reactions from the storm walls surrounding the Lostbelt.
It seemed as if an explosion could occur at any moment, tearing through the intense storm wall and dragging in most areas outside the Lostbelt.
Just as Romani was still deciding whether to use the Imaginary Count Dive again to avoid the explosion, the explosion occurred as the Storm Wall dissipated.
The Storm Wall, stretched to its limit by this immense magical reaction, was like a balloon reaching its critical point. Just before it was about to burst, it suddenly contracted and returned to calm.
