Cardinal: under the rule of the absolute Administrator, this world entered a long period of peace and idleness. But after 70 years when Quinella became Administrator.

Cardinal: she became aware that she had undergone some change. Her soul's capacity for preserving her memories has reached it's limit.

Cardinal: this only drove her to come ip with yet another demonic solution.

Quinella: I appreciate your coming here.

It shows a young Cardinal as Quinella told her to come closer.

Quinella: Now this way. *mind* If I can copy my own Fluctlight's thoughts and memories by overwriting this child's Fluctlight...*normal talk* Close your eyes.

She closes her eyes as Quinella held her hand on the young child's head.

Cardinal: and so Administrator through this diabolical ceremony. The Synthesis Ritual, a secret technique signifying the fusing of soul and memory, finally succeeded in sizing control of another's Fluctlight. But that ended up being Administrator's-no, Quinella's mistake.

Yami: Mistake that she threw her old-self away. Giving the young girl equal authority making her a god too.

Cardinal: tell me what are the features of the Cardinal System?

Yami: to operate over an extended period of time without any adjustments or maintenance by humans. To achieve that, the Cardinal System has to core programs, a main and a sub core. While the main process performs balance controls the sub-process does an error-check of the main core.

Cardinal: that's right. It wasn't just the preservation of order Quinella had etched onto her own Fluctlight. Deep inside her soul, I had this thought as her sub-process..."I must correct this woman's errors."

Yami who closed his eyes to make sure the information is kept in.

Cardinal: I.... i steadfastly waited for that moment. For 70 long years!!

The young girl who's eyes were dead were now filled with life until her right eye has turned magenta.

—————
Quinella who walked towards the young girl.

Quinella: and now, this child's Fluctlight is mine and we can be together my darling.

Cardinal: System Call.

Quinella:!!!

Cardinal: Generate Luminous Element. Lightning Shape: Discharge!!

She raised her hand as lightning was heading straight towards Quinella.

Quinella: what!?

The attack hits her as Cardinal use the same spell.

Quinella: System Call!! Generate Umbra Element: Ball Shape!!

They use the attack and an small explosion as dust was around as both females jumped away. Quinella grabs a candle holder.

Quinella: System Call! Redefinition Object!!

The holder turns into a sword as Cardinal takes out a Magnifying glass which turns into a rod.

Quinella: System Call!! Change Field Attribution!!

Black lightning were striking the room as the room changed as the young child looks around.

Cardinal:*mind* Impossible. She made this a restricted area for System Commands?

She looks to see Quinella charges towards her and swings her sword but she quickly reflects the attack. Both of them strike and reflect each other's attack as Quinella swings upwards but Cardinal dodges.

Cardinal:*mind* I can't defeat her in this body.

She then runs away as Quinella chases her and slams the sword but only her cloak was ripped as she sees the door slightly opened. Cardinal run as she uses a system call.

Cardinal: System Call!! Generate Aerial Element!! Stream Shape!!

She blasted away like she was flying heading to any location.

Cardinal: there are just two locations in this world that even Administrator can't control. One is the other side of the End Mountains. And the other is...

Cardinal: System Call!! Generate Blizzard Gate: Zero One!!

A portal was opened and she went in.

Cardinal: the Great Library!!

She got in and slams the door making it vanished.

Cardinal: In that instant, this place was completely isolated from the outside world. In the 200 years since, I immersed myself in nothing but observation and deliberation working on a plan that would allow me to strike back against Administrator.

Yami: but will it even work?

Cardinal: what do you mean?

Yami: you know that I'm a Observer but I've already seen the future. Your plan has failed even Eugeo's sacrifice was not enough only Kirito's will helped. Your power has not be strong since then because well...

Cardinal: are you saying it would fail and I'm short?

Yami: yes you haven't grown since 200 years. She has assembled loyal and powerful followers most if not all of them are brainwashed. Through the Synthesis Ritual, the man will be reborn.

Cardinal: as the ultimate warrior, an Integrity Knight swearing absolute fealty!!

Then it shows a large dragon in a ice cave who was resting a hill of gold treasure and it wakes up to see a man front of him.

Cardinal: the first to become an Integrity Knight was a true hero known as an extraordinary swordsman who hated the church's rule, who, with his comrades, made his way to a remote village region and founded his own village.

Yami: Ruild Village where Eugeo, Kirito and Alice found the Blue Rose Sword.

Cardinal: the name of that knight was Bercouli Synthesis One.

Yami starts to chuckle and now full blown laughter.

Yami: oh Quinella such a foolish woman. They really underestimate their enemy. I can handle them by myself but it would be unfair for them.

Cardinal: you are a interesting person. Yami stand up.

And he stand up but Cardinal is more shorter than him so she used the chair to see his eyes.

Cardinal: that should do it. Hey, Yami, come over here.

So he walked towards her and was more closer to her. And he hugs her which surprised her.

Cardinal: huh?

Yami: I already knew about this. You now understand this is what is to be human.

Cardinal: so warm. At last, I feel rewarded. Those 200 years I spent weren't in vain.

????: well you'll be more happy once you go to the real world.

Cardinal: huh? Who are you?

Baiken: Baiken, the Unfaltering Awakened Samurai. Mother of Yami also lover.

Cardinal: huh? But the...

Baiken: Like a give a crap about the Taboo Index said. It caused not but confusion and nobles used it as loopholes. Never mind that once you see the real world it's decent at best. My son's goal is to make sure nobody dies in the universes.

Cardinal: yeah.

Yami: now we have to plan this and make sure deaths won't happened.

Cardinal: okay, tell me.

(Meanwhile)

Meanwhile, Eugeo was reading a book as Kirito was waiting for the two to arrive. Eugeo sighs and closes the book.

Eugeo: oh Yami!! And umm.

Yami: Cardinal that's her name and she was banished by the current pontifex, Administrator and she used to be another pontifex.

Eugeo and Kirito: Pontifex?

Yami: she's gonna help us fight the Integrity Knights.

Eugeo: H-help?

Yami: bingo, she has a goal to defeat Administrator and regain her status as pontifex.

Kirito: We're joining forces.

Cardinal: Indeed.

Eugeo: Then do you know if Alice...the Integrity Knight, Alice Synthesis Thirty, is the same person as Alice Zuberg from Ruild?

Yami: it is her, the same one.

Eugeo: y-you know that?!

Yami: yes though even if she regain those memories she would be scared to go back to her home even then the people would forgotten about her and only remember Selika. We can reverse the ritual.

Kirito: we can?

Eugeo: how do we do that?

Yami: remember what came out of Eldire's forehead? The triangle prism?

Both boys widen their eyes.

Cardinal: The Piety Module is inserted in a way that blocks links to memories. This seals away the past of the person becoming an Integrity Knight, while simultaneously forcing absolute fealty to Axiom Church and the pontifex.

Kirito: other words, to break the spell we have to jog the Integrity Knight's memories of their past, huh?

Yami: yep but it's not gonna be easy since they have fought before us and know more on sacred arts than us. But then again that's what was originally there.

Eugeo: what do you mean?

Cardinal: to return the Integrity Knight's former self we have go up towards Administrator's Chambers.

Kirito: so we'll need the stolen memory fragment.

Yami: to get our hands on it. We have to fight them that means Alice has to fight us.

Eugeo: Alice. I came all this way to get her back.

Yami them grabbed his shoulder.

Yami: Eugeo, we have to fight her and free her. We're not killing her, we're making sure that she'll be okay just giving her a beating. I promise we're going to get her back.

Cardinal: yes but you need equipment that can rival against a Integrity Knight.

She hands them three daggers.

Cardinal: with this any sacred arts will effect one her and make her into a deep sleep. Until you've regained her memories and are prepared to remove the Synthesis.

Eugeo: Understood. If I can't talk sense into Alice, I'll use this.

Yami: there you go, Eugeo.

Cardinal: you two have your own swords? I can get them back to you.

Eugeo: you mean my Blue Rose Sword and Kirito's black sword?

Cardinal: I'm certain that your swords are stored in the armory in the third floor of the cathedral.

Yami: Quinella's chambers should be the 100th floor.

Kirito:*gulps*

Cardinal: even then the swords won't help. That because they have the terrifying technique of amplifying their weapon's abilities multiple times.

Goku: that's kinda like the Kaioken.

Yami: yeah but it's not based around a "heart beat" and damaging the body.

Grimmjow: ohh this is gonna be fun to fight.

Ichigo:*sweatdrop* really?

Cardinal: both of you close your eyes and image your swords.

So they closed their eyes image their swords based around what they are. After that Cardinal stopped them and clapped her hands as two papers appeared and they grabbed it.

Kirito:*gasp*

Cardinal: hey, memorize it.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

So she tapped the wall and the door opened as she looks at the three boys.

Cardinal: Kirito, Eugeo and Yami. The fate of the world rests on you three. Whether it's engulfed in hellfire or sinks into nothingness. Or perhaps you'll find a third path. I've told you all that I can tell, and given you all that I can give. All you have to do now is follow the path you believe in.

Eugeo: thank you very much, Ms.Cardinal. I'll definitely get to the top of the cathedral and restore Alice back to who she was.

Yami and Kirito bow down as Cardinal was surprised but she smiled as she opens the door.

Cardinal: now, go!!

The three looked at each other as they walk towards the door. She looked at them with a smile as they left the Library.

Meanwhile Adam who was also in the tower but he was breathing heavy as he was able to fight back for a bit but the corruption was resisting his will.

Adam: the corruption...it's falling apart but it's resisting my will...dammit...Yami....It's gonna be our final battle...I hope...you win....the world...no Multiverse....needs you and the people will be saved by you...
