For the hree weeks, Aleph maintained his usual routine. Most of his time ent on breaking down the plex informatio from the Bck Sun.
By this time, he had taken a g it dozens of times. Each time he did so, he was forced to bleed.
His injuries weren’t meaningless. He wasn’t simir to before whets the “plex information” that enters his mind (i.e., the time in the Sanctum). Even though something was still missing in him, Aleph’s core was Albion. It once was a genuine being who stood at the apex, someone who could be pared to the Types present in Fate.
‘Today…’
He thought of the resources he poured into this ‘God Project’. His main purpose in this instance wasn’t just to attempt to ge Izumo’s fate, but the opportunity to learn more about plex information lifeforms, more known as ‘gods’.
For three weeks, Great Sage focused the majority of its resources to this project alone. Aleph apa by analyzing them too.
The first reward he got was the exploration of the modern magic system.
If ‘Aeons’ were pared to Magis, the former could affeformation just by existing. The tter had to ‘act’ to achieve the same effe a smaller scale.
‘I got lucky.’
He looked at the familiar line of text.
[Avaible version: Cursed Energy, Honkai Energy, Dark Energy, Evolutionary Energy, Divine Power (New)]
Theoretically, the amount of avaible energies for version should have been more. There was sor energy, kiiergy, and the likes. But, there’s a reason why it was called the ‘Embryonic Power System’.
One of the criteria of the vertible energy was to have a ‘system’ of their own.
‘Izumo’s divine energy is way too simir to honkai energy. Was that theht? That honkai energy was formed by their collision..?’
In his third week, Aleph successfully adapted Izumo’s divine power to the modern magic system. His research before was blocked without honkai energy. He had a feeling something would happen when he verted it.
Fortunately, he was able to make advas within one week.
‘Psions affeformation using these free particles. Pushions aplish the same thing by usiion.’
[version Successful.]
[Cursed Energy (verted)]
He was no longer in the vil given by Mei. He was standing amidst the city ruined by fmes. The charred buildings, cracked roads, and the huge crater housing a bck ke more thay feet deep was all that was left.
From the ke, bck monsters tinuously climbed out. This sight was on ihis city.
The defensive perimeter was established a few kilometers outside this city. Aleph had it all to himself.
‘I haven’t fought muowadays. I’m really going down the great sage route.’
The horribly-made pun capable of threatening one of Vill-V’s persona was kept inside his mind forever.
His eyes swept the lines of texts that ged swiftly.

‘It shouldn’t be like this. Was it a result of that emergency measure at that time? But… the achievement hunter isn’t the type to give out things for free.’
He thought about this several times and had a vague feeling about it.
Soon, Aleph shook out these thoughts.
A-pointed wheel appeared on top of his head. The world in his sight turned dark blue.
Without hesitation, he gazed at the “Bck Sun”.
In that instant…
Click.
Drip.
Blood came out on his seven orifices. Trickles ht red blood flowed down from his face down to his neck before staining the white-blue kimono.
Click.
From orickle, it became two. More blood came out of Aleph. Simultaneously, tightly-pacted information, plex enough to surpass Satoru’s Infinite Void, assaulted his mind.
Click.
…
…
…
Click.
The sixteenth click resounded in his ears.
[Adaptation pleted.]
Blood stopped ing out of his seven orifices. Aleph’s entire face was covered with dark red blood. Anyone who saw him at this time would be scared out of their wits.
The isoted sensation gradually disappeared.
Dazedly, he looked at the grouh his feet.
“Huh…”
Rather than standing, he was floating midair. His head moved several times and firmed an expected sight.
The ey had disappeared from the map. There was nothing but aremely huge crater five hundred kilometers deep.
It was as if a bck hole sucked the ey. There was nothi, not even the Kamis that threatened humanity.
‘That’s how it is. Project Stigma ected everyone’s cept of an ‘ideal world’. When I stared at the Bck Sun… no, it should be called IX’s Shadow. When I stared at it, I became an anchor for their power to affect the physical realm. This is why Honkai Impact 3rd’s tter chapters involved an overwhelming amount of jargon…’
Aleph took a deep breath and grinned.
[Sed Load: Adaptation to plex Information]
Looking at the lines of white text, a sense of aplishment welled up inside him. It was for this reason did he ehis instance. Without the final Bnk Sephira Crystal Fragment, Aleph felt inplete. That meant he could not use Albion’s powers fully as a being parable to Types. It did not bode well for him, more so when he felt that the Co was being increasingly uable.
‘I couldn’t mess with the Co, but I mess with Aeons…’ He thought. ‘Everything else I’ll earn in this instance is a bonus.’
Just whehought of it, Aleph noticed a new achievement.
[Achievement Unlocked: Unblinded]
‘Hm..?’
A sense of foreboding appeared in his mind. He was about to view its details when his sight ged.
‘This is..?’
It was his sight when he first woke up in an amnesia. The broken Chiba Academy brought memories when he saw them.
It was then did he see the achievements he previously obtained.
[Achievement Hunter is now active.]
[Deteg aplishments…]
[Achievement Unlocked: Solitary Miracle (See more)]
[Achievement Unlocked: Pi Turnover (See more)]
They were the same as usual.
However…
…
[Achievement Unlocked: Singurity (See More)]
‘...’
Chills were sent down to his spine. Aleph k wasn’t there at that time.
The moment he chose to view its details, he remembered a certaiion:
“Why was the Co hostile to me?”
When he viewed that achievement now…
‘...Aponia’s words. So this is the answer.’
