While Noel and Mina were dining together at the Heavenly Domain Pillar.
Earth--
"Miss Fleur, this is your schedule for the next period of time."
In a gorgeously decorated room, a female assistant came over holding an electronic tablet.
Fleur reached out and took the electronic tablet and read it.
"By the way, these are the manuscript materials you will use in your speech. Please memorize them as soon as possible."
Before Fleur could finish reading, the female assistant took out another document bag and handed it over, saying: "Due to the recent negotiations between the Earth United and Plant, there are some things that cannot be said. I hope you will pay attention to it then."
The expression on Fleur's face froze slightly when she heard this, and then she continued to browse the tablet itinerary in silence.
"I hope you understand that it is really critical now. Wait until-"
"I'm a little tired. Can we talk about the rest tomorrow?"
Before the assistant could finish speaking, Fleur suddenly interrupted him.
"Okay, then you go to bed early. I will come to pick you up on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Please make preparations early."
The female assistant frowned slightly when she heard this and looked unhappy, but she still left the room with three bodyguards.
Click——
The sound of the door closing sounded.
Fleur slumped on the sofa like a deflated rubber ball, her fingers sliding across the tablet like a machine.
Thinking back on everything that had happened recently, Fleur showed a trace of exhaustion and irritation on her face.
However, the anger lasted no more than three seconds before being replaced by weakness and sadness.
To put it nicely, she calls her the Peacemaker of the United Earth, a princess.
To put it bluntly, he is just a tool used by the Earth United to regulate people everywhere.
After she gave that speech in Orb, her life was no longer under her control.
It looks like freedom, but in fact it is just a caged bird.
"The replica of Lux..."
Fleur put down the tablet casually, stretched out her hands to block the dazzling light while lying on her back, her eyes filled with unwillingness and jealousy.
'She is an almost perfect existence...'
'Appearance, ability, status, skills, wisdom...'
'Why do you want to know Lux? '
'What are you going to do now that you know it? '
'····'
Noel's voice came to mind.
Why do you need to know Lux...know what to do in the future...
Why do you have to become like this?
Why did I end up like this?
Can I only become a puppet controlled by others in this life?
Think back to the assistant’s tone and attitude, and think back to your recent experiences——
Maybe I can do something myself...
In a daze, a light called ambition appeared in Fleur's eyes.

In a hidden manor somewhere on earth——
"How is the situation of Investigator 0524?"
Matisse, wearing a long coat, asked the researcher on the other side of the communication line.
"The progress is going quite smoothly. Although there seems to be an abnormality in the memory in the early stage, it was made up for in time. However, we still cannot solve the problem of his lifespan." The researcher replied, pushing up his glasses.
"How long are you expected to survive?"
Matisse took a sip of tea and asked calmly.
As for abnormalities, things like memory erasure would only be abnormal if there were no abnormalities.
"No more than a year."
The researcher's expression was indifferent, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"One year...is a bit useless. Can it be forcibly extended like 0527 Puya?"
Mattis was a little dissatisfied with the timing.
One year of life seems to be very long, but in fact it is very short.
"Maybe if he wants to be the same as 0527, but now -"
The researcher shook his head, expressing his inability to do anything.
"Is that so? Then Investigator 0141... No, his name should be Niya now. How is her condition?"
The researcher opposite is his confidant and also a top talent in the laboratory. If he says no, then there is a high probability that it will not work.
"Niya is in good condition. Although there were abnormalities in the early stage, it is now basically stable. She is currently being allowed to adapt to her own memory, and the effect is very good."
Memory clearing is very fast and can basically be completed in about a week.
But the memory infusion is a bit slow.
Especially this kind of more careful one, because there is no way to forcefully instill something like memory.
They all just used some excuses to make the experimenters believe that their memories were correct, and used external influences to allow the experimenters to automatically fill in the memory gaps.
Let the experimenter accept the newly given memory.
Of course, if you plan to become a doll like Sothis, you don't have to go to such trouble, but——
Such a waste.
"It doesn't matter if you slow down, I don't want a second Neo to appear."
Matisse has heard of Neo's betrayal, so don't get into trouble if you make a defective product again.
"I will try my best." The researcher nodded and replied.
The brain is a very strange thing, and they only have a superficial understanding of it.
"I understand the situation, thank you for your hard work." Mattis nodded and replied.
The researcher closed the communication with a nod.
"But one year... is indeed a bit short, so we have to find a way."
Looking at the disappeared communication, Mattis lay comfortably on the bench and began to think about how to maximize benefits.
One year is too short for her, but if used properly, there may be some unexpected gains.
After all, he is the guy who can fight with the strongest adjuster without losing.
It’s a pity that I don’t live long——
————
Pillar of Heaven——
After saying goodbye to Noel, Mina returned to her own room.
"A person who can become a white-robed person is definitely not an idiot..."
Listening to the quiet music and thinking about Noel's escape problem, a strange look flashed in Mina's cold eyes.
Noel actually guessed half of it.
Mina Sahak knew the consequences of sending people to Genesis α.
But she still went. As for the reason——
She had no choice but to do this.
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.
Because Uzumi dragged Kaguya and Dawn Club to self-destruct, many of Orb's precious technical data were lost.
As it happens, the Heavenly Realm Pillar, which exists as the Orb Arsenal, has backups of these data, and the Atlantic Federation is aware of this.
Now it's because the Earth Alliance has signed an armistice agreement with Plant so they can't use weapons rashly, and the Orb Provisional Government has joined the Earth Alliance.
It is difficult for major forces such as the Atlantic Federation to take action against the Heavenly Realm Pillar openly.
But even so, its little secret moves are still going on.
Spy, agent, infiltration, threat...
Various secret methods emerge in endlessly.
Of course, she is not afraid of these dirty tricks at all. After all, she has been wandering in the dark her whole life, and these things are what she is good at.
But what if we wait until the negotiations between the two parties are completed?
What can the Heavenly Domain Pillar do to resist the freed-up Earth Alliance?
Even without the need for the Earth to unite, the Atlantic Federation alone is enough to annihilate the Heavenly Domain Pillar.
She knows the existence of the Phantom Pain Force better than anyone else.
The current mainstay of the Sky Realm Pillar, the Xosis trio and the machine, are all from the hands of the Phantom Pain Force, and this is a branch abandoned by the opponent——
Therefore, Mina must take precautions to make plans for the future of the Heavenly Realm Pillar.
