Eighth Crown

When I opened my eyes again, there was a blue sea in front of me.

The walls under the feet and around are made of transparent plates, forming a passage extending in all directions, forming a terrain like a labyrinth.

When viewed as a whole, the shape of this labyrinth resembles a woman's body.

Isn't that-

"SE.RA.PH?"

Liu Xia looked at the transparent labyrinth in front of her with a look of surprise in her eyes, "Isn't this labyrinth already destroyed by me? Is the Slaughterhouse still alive?"

"No, the Slaughterhouse is indeed dead, and Beast III is indeed killed by you and Melt."

BB's figure walked out from Liu Xia's side, looking at the labyrinth in front of him with serious eyes, "However, please observe carefully, the shape of this labyrinth and the previous SE.RA.PH, which was the body of the Sesshou Institute, are actually different. exactly the same."

Liu Xia paused slightly, then looked around the maze in surprise.

Does that seem to be the case?

Although the shape is indeed roughly similar, it is limited to the category that both have the shape of the head, chest, arms, legs, etc. In other aspects, such as bust size, leg length ratio, accessories, etc. exist Subtle differences.

"This is not the SE.RA.PH of the Killing Institute, but another SE.RA.PH of mine."

I don't know if it involved too much in-depth issues. BB's usual pretentious style disappeared at some point. Although her expression at this moment does not show happiness or anger, it is obviously very different from before.

"The other you?"

Liu Xia's eyes when looking at BB gradually became strange, "So, what you said before about an enemy of the same level as you actually refers to yourself?"

"Well, although it's the same model, there are some differences."

BB inadvertently tapped the palm of his hand with a pointer, his expression calmed down slightly, "There is still some distance from here to the temple where she is located. During this time, I will explain it to you a little."

"Merte told you before that the killing institute and they both reproduced the data about us in our bodies, and then we can be born in this world, right?"

That's right, Meltrilith really said that.

Because BB, Meltrilith, and Parsonlip were all absorbed by the Killing Institute of the Moon Holy Grail War World, he became a demon bodhisattva after that.

And after the Slaughterhouse here synchronized the records, she also had more data on the three of them in her body, so she was able to give them a spiritual foundation and recreate them.

"In fact, Mooncell, as a cosmic civilization-level observation machine, has the ability to observe and interfere with parallel worlds."

BB explained to Liu Xia: "After the Jie faction spied on the world over there, took away the information of the Killing Institute, and transformed the Killing Institute here into Beast III, Mooncell realized the situation here, and thought that this was the case. It was my own fault, so I specially dispatched a high-level AI to this parallel world, intending to defeat Beast III."

In other words, is it your own fault?

Mooncell realized that it was his own mistake that made the Jie faction steal the information from him, and created the Beast III catastrophe in this parallel world, so he planned to find a way to make it up, and sent an advanced AI to try to erase it. Except for his own faults.

"The AI ​​it chooses is the BB who once became the ruler on the inner side of the moon, but was finally absorbed by the Killing Institute, that is, me."

BB said frankly: "However, in fact, BB has been absorbed by the Killing Institute long ago, so I am just a replica made by Mooncell based on BB's data. Although I have all the memories of the previous BB, for me, those memories are just It's like something that happened 10,000 years ago, very unreal."

replica?

The BB in front of him is actually a replica of the real BB?

"So you say that?"

Liuxia suddenly became thoughtful, "That other BB is actually..."

"Yes, she is the real BB."

BB nodded very simply, without the slightest bit of confusion, and even laughed, "The BB released by the Killing Institute from his body is actually the BB in the Holy Grail War of the Moon, and she and I seem to be sister models. relation."

I see.

The other BB was reproduced by the Killing Institute, the original BB.

And the BB in front of Liu Xia is actually a new BB sent by Mooncell across the parallel world.

"After I came to this world and saw the Killing Institute with my own eyes, I realized that Beast III has grown into a huge size that I can't do anything about."

BB continued: "So, in order to find an opportunity to defeat her, I cooperated with that BB, and secretly switched over without anyone knowing it, and I pretended to be her and took charge of everything in the Holy Grail War. , and tried to find a way to ask Chaldea for help, while she was hiding in the dark, collecting information about the Killing Institute and analyzing it."

"The KP props used by Senior No. 2 were actually developed by me and her."

Lucia nodded.

Until this part, he has fully understood it.

In other words, they actually mean a supporter hidden behind the scenes.

But then, there are new questions.

"Then why are you fighting her now?"

Liu Xia continued to ask BB: "She is not your same type, isn't she your companion?"

"The same model doesn't mean it must be a companion?"

BB raised his hand, shook his index finger slightly, and then continued: "That BB in the world of the original Moon Holy Grail War, it was because he took the initiative to go berserk, subverting the responsibilities and missions given by Mooncell, and then became the ruler of the moon. , If she hadn't gone berserk, do you think she, as Mooncell's subordinate, would have given birth to the idea of ​​becoming the ruler of the moon?"

"It turns out that, because she was absorbed by the Killing Institute in a state of berserk, so after being reproduced, she is still in a state of berserk. This is the reason why you and her are enemies."

Lucia suddenly understood.

Because this BB was re-created and sent by Mooncell, it did not run rampant. It still fulfilled the mission and responsibilities given by Mooncell, and was an AI in a normal state.

But the other BB, although it is a real BB, was in a state of berserk in the past, and now it is naturally a berserk AI.

"Bingo! I don't need to explain what the rampant AI will do, right?"

BB walked forward with Liu Xia, smiling as always, "In many movies made by human beings, I have had such an imagination, that is - destroying human beings."

The essence of BB is that she hates humans very much. Although she does love humans from another perspective, it is a kind of sickly love.

If another BB has the same idea as her, then her approach to human beings might be "make specimens of all human beings and store them for eternity" or something like that?

"The front is her temple."

While speaking, the two had come to an empty area, and a building similar to a Greek temple appeared in front of them.
