Otherwise, you can find another savior.

Morgan understood that those eyes were looking at Shiomi.

He is one with himself, yet he does not show it outwardly.

After a long standoff, U-Olgamari suddenly turned around and jumped off the mountain in the direction of Miktland.

"stop!"

Morgan was about to give chase when he was met with a direct attack.

Instead of aiming at her, he aimed at the mountain peak, simply to stop Morgan from catching up.

In that instant of delay, the "Alien God" was already about to disappear from sight.

"She got away," Shiomi sighed.

"But why did they escape in such a sorry state, and what was their reaction just now...?"

Morgan seemed to be deep in thought, but could not find an answer.

Chapter 45 The "Flaw" in "Alien God"

Originally, Shio thought it would be a tough battle.

By fighting U-Olga Marie, the power of the One God stabilizes the environment of the Second Underworld, creating conditions for the Masters to catch up in time to support the battle against the "Alien God" or help clear out the alien apostles that are in the way.

However, before they could even have a proper fight, U-Olgamarie had already fled in disarray.

At least that's how it seems to Morgan and Shiomi.

"To flee in disarray is rather strange indeed."

On the way back to Chichen Itza, after hearing what Shiomi and Morgan had to say, Scáthach said this.

“Didn’t we talk about it before? The ‘Alien God’ who calls herself U-Olga Marie must have used the old body left behind by the Director in Antarctica Chaldea to be able to take on a physical form and manifest in this way.” Artoria recalled the previous events. “Could there be any connection?”

Skadi leaned against the car railing, gazing at the vast grassland: "It's impossible that there's no connection. Mary is a descendant of her magician family, born for a certain purpose. Her original body may have undergone many magical modifications before birth, in order to achieve certain goals."

“But if it’s that simple, why hasn’t the ‘Alien God’ reacted similarly so far?” Shio asked. “This isn’t the first time she’s seen me, fought me, or seen us… yet she’s suddenly fallen into a state of mental chaos…”

“Power,” Morgan took over the conversation calmly. “After my husband’s power came into my body, I often unconsciously saw many of my husband’s memories. Joyful, sad, troubled, helpless… and so on.”

“Hmm…” Scáthach looked thoughtful. “Unlike the demon queens of Pan-Human History, the ‘Alien God’s’ spiritual level is no less than that of the Unified God, and it is easier for her to devour power.”

Therefore, if the "Alien God" has begun to devour and even digest power, it will inevitably react with its own existing power.

This power, which was condensed from Shiomi's body, or even her soul, inevitably contains many related memories of the original holder.

"I remember Orange said that human memory exists simultaneously in the body, soul, and spirit. It's just that humans are born as a trinity, so they don't perceive this distinction. But if the spirit and soul are lost, it is often unknown whether memory still exists in the empty body."

Shiomi recalled the things she had discussed with Touko before.

"If a body that has lost its soul and spirit is placed into a completely new personality, then the memories preserved in the body will, in turn, emerge in the mind of the new personality. But the specific form is unclear, after all, there is a lack of actual samples."

Memories and emotions are carried away with the transfer of the soul and spirit, while the parts remaining in the body are gradually lost until the body itself completely perishes.

Morgan continued his analysis along this line of thought: "But Mary's original body was frozen and preserved in the future to transfer things like magical crests. Alien Chaldea took advantage of this, creating a spirit and soul on the blank body, making it act as the 'Alien God'."

"Speaking of which, when the 'Alien God' descended, he said some strange things," Skadi recalled, "like 'combat' and 'generation'."

“It sounds like something out of a machine,” Artoria said. “Enkidu, who appeared at the last moment in Uruk, also spoke in a similar style.”

However, Enkidu's statements are more logical and rational, unlike a machine that needs to debug its own logic.

“But on the other hand, if this personality was created to enable the ‘Alien God’ to act, it must have some flaws…” Morgan raised a finger, “For example, it is isolated from the influence of physical memories and cannot see the corresponding things.”

Scáthach clapped her hands gently: "If that's the case, then it makes sense. Physical memories that wouldn't normally have any effect are triggered by the same fragments of memory after coming into contact with the powers of her beloved disciple, thus disrupting her own intellect."

At this point, they all looked at Xijian, their eyes revealing varying degrees of teasing.

He could only spread his hands: "'Love' is really not an easy thing to do."

Sometimes, love can give people immense strength; other times, love can become the most terrible curse in the world.

In any case, its inherent significance should not be underestimated.

In other words, the alien god was affected by the memories of his physical body, which awakened those fragmented memories. The overwhelming emotions of 'first love' and 'admiration' in those memories constantly acted on the alien god.

This caused an unprecedented malfunction in the "Alien God," who, despite being full of vibrant emotions, was actually performing the task of recycling the Imaginary Tree and ruling over the planet and humanity in a mechanical manner.

"All in all, this is a good thing." Scáthach showed an optimistic attitude. "Although I really want to say it's a pity you didn't pursue in time, at this critical moment, it's best not to get too attached to the battle, lest you fall into the enemy's trap."

"Speaking of which, that luminous giant that appeared when we entered the Lostbelt and fought the 'Alien God' has never appeared again," Artoria said, bringing it up.

Her words caused a stir of concern among everyone.

Once the power of that unknown enemy is taken into account, Shiomi can't help but wonder about Chaldea's upcoming battles.

However, they didn't have much time to be depressed. As they passed the Dinos camp on the plain, they suddenly heard the Dinos shouting in terror.

"Kamazotz! Kamazotz!"

"The bats are here! The shadow of death is here! They're here even though the sun is still out, before nightfall!"

"Run! Run! You'll be sucked blood and turned into a zombie!"

Then, a large amount of magical energy emanated from the direction of the forest. Shiomi stood up in the carriage and observed the enemy coming from that direction.

He didn't sense Camazots' reaction, but he did sense a large number of reactions similar to Dinos', filled with an aura of death.

"Looks like Dinos's in trouble." Scáthach jumped out of the car, gun in hand. "Let's do Dinosaur King a favor again; it'll benefit our future operations."

"I'll help!" Artoria also jumped off the vehicle. "You guys rest first. They're just Dinos who have turned into ghouls. We can handle them."

Chapter 46 The Next Target

Appearing on the plains, attacking the enemies of Dinos outside the city, are Dinos that have become ghouls and undead. They have lost their intelligence and are like monsters that only know how to kill and eat, indiscriminately attacking every Dino.

Fortunately, Scáthach and Artoria reacted quickly and struck first, preventing Dinos from being injured.

After the battle, the bodies of these Dinos, who had been stripped of their fighting abilities, turned to dust in no time and were scattered across the plain by the wind.

When the Dinosaur King learned of this, he was very satisfied with Chaldea's performance and arranged for a lot of supplies to be sent to Chaldea.

However, due to the attack triggered by Kamazots, Dinos was unwilling to leave Chichen Itza, and Chaldea had to come to the city to retrieve the items themselves.

"Kamasoz is the only life form in Miktland that surpasses Dinos, and to these dinosaur humans, it is the embodiment of terror."

The Dinosaur King said this during his second meeting with Shiomi and the others.

Although the battle in the Second Underworld ended inconclusively, the retreat of the "Alien God" brought stability back to Ishtaruki, which had been unstable, and the continuous mountain tremors ceased.

Chichen Itza no longer needs to worry about the collapse of the Second Underworld, which would bury the third and fifth layers of Miktlan.

Having met the conditions and done someone a favor, the Dinosaur King was in a good mood and brought up the matter of Kamazotz.

"What do you know about Kamazot?" Shiomi asked directly, without beating around the bush.

After all, the Dinosaur King had only been king for a year, and he wasn't a native Servant from the Lostbelt, so he might not know much about it.

“Listen up, Chaldea.” The Dinosaur King glared at Shiomi with slight displeasure. “Tescatlipoca is an omniscient and omnipotent god, though not all-powerful and unable to control things that do not exist. To me, Kamazot is a life that already existed in Miktland, so I naturally have a way of knowing its general situation.”

"Yes, yes..." tide Jian could only shrug, indicating that her tone was not quite right.

“Deep in the forest to the northwest, there is a city ruin. In that ominous place, you can find the whereabouts of Kamazotz,” said the Dinosaur King. “That man is most likely in this ruin called Kahn.”

"Kahn's ruins?" Morgan asked, a look of interest on her face.

The Dinosaur King casually remarked, "Kahn is a city ruin that existed before Chichen Itza was even born... or more accurately, a kingdom ruin. Anyway, it's been hundreds of thousands, even millions of years."

“Millions of years…” Shio was speechless for a moment.

In pan-human history, the human civilizations that can be examined so far can only be traced back to at most 10,000 years ago.

The earlier era belonged to gods and fantastical beings.

As the Age of Gods transitioned into the Age of Humanity, very few relics of the Age of Gods remain. They have been mostly preserved by magician organizations or groups around the world as a means of exploring ancient mysteries.

Even so, the timeframe that can be calculated is only tens of thousands of years.

It was only as humanity prospered and multiplied that deities gradually acquired the form that would be celebrated by later generations and began to communicate with humans.

Before that, it existed as a special phenomenon, like a natural occurrence.

"In short, when the Dinos were building Chichen Itza, they surveyed the ruined city of Kahn and used Kahn's layout and construction methods as a reference when building this city," the Dinosaur King said.

"So what kind of city is Kahn? Is it a city that Dinos used to live in, but was abandoned due to a change of regime or a natural disaster, and was relocated here to build a new city?" Shiomi asked.

"I don't know. As I said, I only know the general situation." The Dinosaur King smiled nonchalantly. "Kamazotz has existed for a long time, as has Kahn. As for how these things disappeared, it's none of my business, and I don't need to know."

“No, it’s not that you don’t know. It’s that Dinos doesn’t know, so as Dinos’s king, you don’t need to know either,” Morgan pointed out the oversight in the Dinosaur King’s words.

The Dinosaur King scoffed, "So what? Even the priests here only know how to sing about the events after Chichen Itza was founded."

Then, as if remembering something, he added a sentence.

“But isn’t there a Dinos among you who’s been traveling with you? That guy named Tepeu, who abandoned his priestly duties and went to live in seclusion on the first level. Maybe he’s heard something; asking him might yield some new discoveries.”

“We will do that,” Shio said without hesitation. “But right now, the most important thing is to investigate the ruins of Kahn and reclaim our powers.”

To be honest, Shiomi was starting to wonder if her powers were a little too popular.

Tescat Riboca wants Shiomi to regain all her powers before they can fight again.

Kamazozz wanted Shiomi to reclaim the second part of her power, fight him, and then take away all her power.

“Alright. Cleaning up the ruins of Kahn will at least prevent the ghoul-turned Dinos from harassing Chichen Itza again, and it will save me some trouble,” said the Dinosaur King.

Morgan crossed his arms: "You're supposed to be the Blue Tescatlipoca, can't you even do this much?"

“Well said, but I can’t do it,” said the Dinosaur King. “My only duty is to maintain the existence of Chichen Itza and Dinos. Everything else is none of my business.”

"...They actually agreed so readily." tide Jian was so shocked by these words that she almost lost her balance.

He was now convinced that the Dinosaur King wasn't incapable of doing it, but rather that he simply chose not to.

The simultaneous appearance of the Blue Tescatlipoca and the Black Tescatlipoca means that there must be a connection or comparison between the two Tescatlipoca.

What did the blue side do?

What did the black side do next?

Ultimately, the actions of both sides will likely converge at some point, either as enemies or as allies.

In any case, it remains very clear that the Dinosaur King and Chaldea are not enemies.

"Oh, and just a heads-up. The Second Underworld is now calm, which means traveling from the third to the fifth level is no longer difficult," said the Dinosaur King. "The black side is in Mexico on the fifth level."

"Are you suggesting that Black Tescatlipoca will attack again?" Shiomi asked.

“No, I’m referring to Oselotte and their leader.” Dinosaur King stood on the platform, looking down at Shiomi. “Oselotte and Dinos are fighting for survival, and only one side will survive.”

"In other words, those of us who ally with Dinos will become enemies of Oselotte." Morgan revealed a knowing expression.

Shio turned around, preparing to leave:

"Let's see which side moves faster."

Chapter 47 A Night for Stargazing

"Huh? The 'Alien God' is reacting to the teacher's matter?"

That evening, after a meeting to discuss the investigation of Kamazotz at the Kahn ruins the next day, Shiomi, who was watching the stars with Olga Marie on the roof of the Tepeu house, couldn't help but feel surprised after talking about what happened during the day.

"Yes, at least from the performance at the time, that's how it was," Shiomi answered truthfully, sharing her thoughts.

Olga Marie felt a sense of wonder, as if she had grasped something, yet she couldn't put it into words.

She let out a silent sigh, and could only hold Shiomi, who had not yet returned to her original size, and gaze at the night sky over Chichen Itza.

Despite Miktland being just a cylindrical underground world with only an artificial sun moving back and forth between the first and ninth layers, for some reason, star-like points of light can be seen in the night sky.

"What does the teacher think about this?" Olga Marie asked.

"Would you mind if I said that I think this is the key to solving the 'Alien God' problem?" Shiomi asked.

“No, not at all.” Olga Marie shook her head frankly. “I’m more worried that if even the teacher and Ms. Morgan together can’t defeat that ‘alien god,’ we might have no chance of winning.”

"Don't say that," Shiomi gently reminded him. "Even without us, you shouldn't give up... Of course, if you don't have the will to continue fighting, that's another matter."

Shiomi would not force someone who has no desire to fight to face a battle with little chance of winning.

But now the survival of humanity rests on the shoulders of Chaldea.

"Hmm." Olga Marie nodded obediently, then continued the previous topic, "Does the teacher think they've found a breakthrough because the 'Alien God' is using my original body?"

"That's the only way to understand it," Shiomi thought. "Although Mary doesn't need to care about her original body now, it's still a part of you no matter what. If necessary, you might need to retrieve the remnants of that body."

Olga Marie paused, then asked, "Are you referring to Animusphia's magic crest? Or...?"
