Cardinal removed a large stack of trees from a bookshelf and placed it on a large table where several people were seated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Kirito and I'll talk about it, and the others, before talking, read the chronicles of these worlds. Cardinal said.

"Oh. Kirito nodded, picked up two more steaming buns, and followed Cardinal to the next room.

Cardinal first told Kirito about the past of the other royal sister high priest who was ostensibly in charge of the church with her, and Kirito was shocked before he was shocked.

Her original name was Quenella, the daughter of a political marriage between two lords' families. With an extremely keen sense of observation, he discovers the secret of the Divine Word as a system command after continuous exploration.

At that time, there were no so-called heretics, and Quenella gained experience points for manipulating high system commands by constantly killing natural creatures, and finally established an Congregational Church and became a high priestess, changing her name to Adominis Dorette, which means Administrator (at first glance, it is associated with XP), which means administrator.

In order to prevent people from knowing the secrets of the high-level sacred language, and to prevent anyone from gaining experience points to increase system privileges by destroying monsters, a taboo directory has been established. When his life is nearing, he successfully recalls the list of all system instructions, and "seals" the Cardinal system, which is the adjustment function of the Underworld, at the cost of his own feelings, and integrates it into his own shaking light, causing the human society of the Underworld to fall into a state of near stagnation.

"You are not a resident of this world, but an alien ...... System administrators are more close. Shocked, Kirito asked.

"Hmm. And, you are the same, right? ”

"The name that created the UnderWorld organization is 'Russ'...... R, a, t, h, right?"

"Exactly. ”

"And then you're CardinalSystem. An autonomic program written to control the imaginary world. ”

"Oh, I even know that. Looks like you've been in contact with my kind in the world over there?"

"yes, it's better to say that the personalities are so different. ”

"Another branch of the old body? Although I am interested, I can't see it. ”

"Why?"

"What happens when the exact same file on a hard drive appears in the same path?"

“…… Covered?"

"Although the probability that the old body and her will not cover it is very high, it is a risk that cannot be taken at all. ”

"Yes...... By the way, what was the reason for asking me to interview them because they had to read the written records?" Kirito asked.

"Those books were just made up by the church. The starting point of this calendar today is nothing more than that laid down by later generations. The old body is going to talk to you alone. ”

"So, the three creation gods of the human world, as well as the legends of Lunaria and Bekuta?"

"It's not at all, is it? That's the super ID of 'Russ' and the Luna Syndicate as emergency control, and by the way, the Dark Knight who has always gotten along well with you is logged in with Lunaria's ID. ”

"Eh~~~"

"Don't be so surprised, don't you think her authority as a Dark Knight is too high?"

"Oh. Kirito guessed that it might be observing experimental data related to Yuki's shaking light.

Cardinal then brings up the topic of feudalism, and to Kirito's shock again, it was not designed by the staff who made UnderWorld, but by the people here, because a bad staff member had no intention of instilling his bad thoughts into the artificial shaking light, and this artificial shaking light was the upper nobles, including Quenella.

Kirito immediately thought of the possibility that "Russ" or the Luna group might have been mixed in with some kind of mole: "Wait a minute. Will you be able to get in touch with the real world?"

"Stupid, how is that possible? The contact system has been taken over by that guy. ”

"This, that's it. So, when is the reality now?"

"I'm sorry, but now I don't have the authority to log in to the system realm. Even in the data field, the scope that the old body can query is only a small part. Compared to what you learned about Cardinal over there, the old body is quite weak. ”

"No, no, thank you for letting me know that the real world exists. I'm sorry to interrupt you...... Please continue. ”

Cardinal then proceeded to elaborate in more detail about the Forbidden Catalogue and the Administrator.

It turns out that it is not actually "THE・SEED", but a world created by Cardinal copied from the old SAO, and it also inherited the leveling system, and the "Taboo Catalog" was only born to prevent people from discovering this system - Adominis Doret wants to monopolize force and become a "god".

However, due to the limited carrying capacity of the shaking light memory, of course, the lifespan is also limited, even if the authority of Adominis Doret is high, it cannot escape this. So, Adominis Doret thought of replacing his body, and his original body was used as a hard drive for memory backup. Adominis Doret found the body that Cardinal was now using. However,

"She prepared this demonic ritual and succeeded in seizing the light of others through this ritual called the 'Secret Ritual of Integration', which is intended to artificially merge souls and memories. This is the moment that the old body has been waiting for...... After 70 years of waiting, I finally waited for the moment!!" Cardinal became agitated, and even his old self-proclaimed name changed.

"In the short time that it was copied, two gods appeared. Only in the moment when Quenella's consciousness relaxed a little, did the old body have a chance to appear on the surface of consciousness. She actually integrated me into her own body, and did such a wrong thing to the world, do you think the old body will let her go?"

“…… Normal people don't. ”

"On that day, the old body finally obtained a body that belonged only to himself, to be precise, the body of this poor little girl, and the old body immediately attacked Quenella with the highest level of divine magic—"

The values of the two gods are the same in all aspects, because they are gods, so they don't treat each other as human beings, and they are going all out to destroy the heavens and the earth, and Cardinal, who has seized the opportunity, will undoubtedly win, but the "destiny" of the two people is surprisingly high, so that Adominis Doret has time to think about the change of tactics.

Adominis Doret abandoned the Divine Technique, converting the mountains of high-priority items in the room into weapons, and then turning the space of the battle into an area where the use of system commands is completely off-limits. That is, neither of them can be restored through system commands.

Adominis Dore summoned a rapier. Cardinal summoned a handcane, the one he was holding now.

"Wait, you're all the same, aren't you?" ............ even if you change to melee," Kirito questioned.

"She's just going to bully the old body's small body. Cardinal pulled open the front of his robe with his right hand, revealing himself in a white shirt, black shorts, and white stockings.

"I see............ body is really not suitable for close combat.
