**[00:00] ---**
And now... and now, I...
**[00:05] ---**
My fighting spirit's been amplified!
I'm overflowing with energy!
**[00:08] ---**
To be more specific...
**[00:09] ---**
I am invincible!
**[00:13] ---**
System... Call!
**[00:18] ---**
Generate...Thermal... Element!
**[02:20] ---**
Titan of the Sword
**[02:39] ---**
I had no idea he was capable of such an art.
**[02:44] ---**
Unfortunately, I can't destroy
that intangible flame giant with my flowers.
**[02:50] ---**
If I were to focus on defense,
I couldn't hold it off for long.
**[02:53] ---**
Meaning we'll have to attack the real Chudelkin
in that time, huh?
**[02:58] ---**
Exactly.
I'll find a way to avert him for ten seconds.
**[03:02] ---**
Kirito, Eugeo, please take that opportunity
to attack Chudelkin.
**[03:07] ---**
But remember not to get too close.
Or else the pontifex will target you.
**[03:12] ---**
- Ten...
- ...seconds.
**[03:30] ---**
Spin, my flowers!
**[04:09] ---**
His eyes.
**[04:11] ---**
Got it.
**[04:12] ---**
System Call.
**[04:14] ---**
Discharge!
**[04:18] ---**
Your Eminence!
**[04:19] ---**
Please watch out!
**[04:26] ---**
This is...
**[04:56] ---**
M-My... My...
**[05:02] ---**
Eminence...
**[05:18] ---**
Kirito.
**[05:25] ---**
Well, that was a boring show,
**[05:29] ---**
but at least I was able
to gather some useful data.
**[05:34] ---**
What an eyesore.
**[05:39] ---**
How could you?
**[05:41] ---**
Irregular boy.
**[05:43] ---**
At first,
I thought I couldn't view your properties
**[05:46] ---**
because you're an unregistered unit
from an unofficial marriage,
**[05:53] ---**
but that's not why, is it?
**[05:55] ---**
You came from over there, didn't you?
A human from the other side...
**[06:01] ---**
Isn't that right?
**[06:03] ---**
That's right.
**[06:07] ---**
Even so, I've been granted the same
Authority Level as the people of this world,
**[06:14] ---**
so I'm nowhere near your level in that respect,
Administrator... or rather, Ms. Quinella.
**[06:23] ---**
So the little brat filled your head
with all her silly stories!
**[06:27] ---**
Well, then?
**[06:28] ---**
Tell me, boy, what was your reason
for stumbling into my world?
**[06:33] ---**
Ms. Quinella, in the near future,
you're going to destroy your own world.
**[06:40] ---**
I will? I'm going to destroy it?
**[06:44] ---**
That's right.
**[06:45] ---**
Your mistake was creating
the order of Integrity Knights
**[06:50] ---**
to counter a massive invasion
from the Dark Territory.
**[06:53] ---**
That's the reason.
**[06:55] ---**
That definitely sounds like
something that little brat would say.
**[06:59] ---**
So pitiful...
**[07:00] ---**
Both her, for being so desperate to expel me,
and you for taking the bait!
**[07:06] ---**
If I may, Lady Pontifex.
**[07:09] ---**
Those who were concerned
with the current order of Integrity Knights
**[07:12] ---**
having no hope of fending off
the coming invasion of the forces of darkness
**[07:16] ---**
were Knight Commander Bercouli
and Vice Commander Fanatio.
**[07:21] ---**
I share those concerns, too.
**[07:24] ---**
Lady Pontifex, do you have means to protect
the people if the order of the knights fall?
**[07:30] ---**
That is not all I want to ask you.
**[07:33] ---**
You've forcefully taken us from our parents,
**[07:35] ---**
from our wives and husbands,
from our brothers and sisters,
**[07:40] ---**
and sealed away our memories
**[07:42] ---**
to plant false memories of being summoned
from a non-existent heavenly realm!
**[07:48] ---**
Why couldn't you at least trust
in our loyalty and respect for you?
**[07:54] ---**
Why would you subject our souls to such a tainted ritual
to force us to submit to your control?
**[08:06] ---**
I'm offended. I trusted you very much.
**[08:10] ---**
The Piety Modules I gifted you
are the proof of my love.
**[08:16] ---**
They freed you from any trifling worries or pain,
**[08:21] ---**
so you could remain beautiful dolls for all time.
**[08:26] ---**
You think that Uncle...
His Excellency Knight Commander Bercouli,
**[08:30] ---**
throughout his long 300-year tenure
as an Integrity Knight,
**[08:34] ---**
never had any worries or suffered at all?
**[08:37] ---**
Is that what you think, Lady Pontifex?
**[08:41] ---**
This man,
who's shown you the deepest loyalty of us all,
**[08:44] ---**
and you knew nothing
of the pain he's been carrying in his heart.
**[08:47] ---**
Is that what you're saying?
**[08:52] ---**
Of course I knew.
**[08:55] ---**
This isn't the first time
Bercouli brooded over such worthless issues.
**[09:01] ---**
You see, he brought up the same things
about a century ago.
**[09:08] ---**
So I fixed him.
**[09:13] ---**
And it wasn't just him...
**[09:15] ---**
it's all of the knights
who've been around for over a hundred years.
**[09:18] ---**
I made them forget every one
of their painful memories.
**[09:23] ---**
Don't worry, Alice,
**[09:25] ---**
I'm going to erase the memories
causing you such grief.
**[09:31] ---**
I'm going to turn you back into a doll
that has no need to think.
**[09:39] ---**
I admit that, right now, I'm feeling enough pain
and sorrow to rip my heart to shreds.
**[09:45] ---**
But this pain...
**[09:49] ---**
I don't wish to erase these feelings
I've never felt before.
**[09:53] ---**
Because this pain is precisely what tells me
I'm not a puppet knight, but a human being.
**[10:02] ---**
Lady Pontifex, I don't want your love.
I don't need you to fix me.
**[10:09] ---**
Sadly, it doesn't matter how you feel about it.
**[10:14] ---**
Once I synthesize you again,
every one of your emotions will be erased.
**[10:21] ---**
Like how you did to yourself, Ms. Quinella?
**[10:27] ---**
Hey, boy, didn't I tell you not to bring up the past?
**[10:32] ---**
If I stop, will that erase the truth?
**[10:35] ---**
Even for you,
you can't alter the past as you please.
**[10:39] ---**
The fact that you were born and grew up
as a human being can't ever be erased.
**[10:46] ---**
Am I wrong?
**[10:47] ---**
And what if it can't, boy from the other side?
**[10:52] ---**
As long as you're a human,
you can't possibly be a perfect entity, that's what.
**[10:58] ---**
Humans are creatures that make mistakes.
**[11:01] ---**
And the mistake you've committed
is beyond repair by now.
**[11:06] ---**
With the partial collapse
of the order of Integrity Knights,
**[11:09] ---**
if the Dark Territory's invasion starts now,
it'll wipe out the Human Empire.
**[11:14] ---**
But it was you who annihilated my knights.
Quite awful.
**[11:19] ---**
If you're the sole survivor,
then you can start over with a clean slate.
**[11:24] ---**
That might be your intention.
**[11:26] ---**
But, unfortunately,
that's not what's going to happen.
**[11:30] ---**
Because on the other side, there are people
who truly hold absolute authority over this world.
**[11:36] ---**
They'll probably think,
"Well, that was a complete failure. Let's start over."
**[11:42] ---**
And then a button will be pressed,
and everything will vanish.
**[11:47] ---**
The mountains. The rivers.
**[11:51] ---**
The towns.
**[11:55] ---**
And all of the people here, including you,
will be erased in the blink of an eye.
**[12:04] ---**
Then what about you people
on the other side?
**[12:09] ---**
Are you constantly aware
that your world was created by a higher power,
**[12:16] ---**
and strive to do only what would please those
higher authorities, so they won't reset your world?
**[12:25] ---**
Of course you don't.
**[12:28] ---**
After all, they would create a world,
and life, for fun,
**[12:32] ---**
and then erase it all
when they have no more use for them.
**[12:36] ---**
What gives a boy from a world like that
the right to criticize my choices?
**[12:43] ---**
Well, I refuse.
**[12:45] ---**
I won't pander to those
who fancy themselves gods of creation,
**[12:48] ---**
or reduce myself to groveling
so they'll allow me to continue to exist.
**[12:53] ---**
The only proof of my existence
is the control I exert.
**[12:58] ---**
That desire is the one thing that motivates me
and gives me life!
**[13:03] ---**
These legs of mine
are meant only to trample over others.
**[13:06] ---**
They are not for bending at the knees!
**[13:11] ---**
Then...
**[13:13] ---**
Then does that mean
you're going to let the Human Empire be overrun,
**[13:17] ---**
and wait for annihilation, alone, on a nominal throne
as the ruler of a nation with no civilians?
**[13:23] ---**
I have no intention
of allowing them to reset the Underworld,
**[13:29] ---**
or of accepting the final load test.
**[13:33] ---**
I've already perfected a command
to counter that.
**[13:37] ---**
You should be happy.
I'm going to show it to you all before anyone else.
**[13:43] ---**
Command?
**[13:45] ---**
To be honest, the knights were just a stopgap.
**[13:50] ---**
The military might I truly seek
has no need for the ability to think,
**[13:55] ---**
much less memories or emotions.
**[13:58] ---**
They just need
to relentlessly massacre the enemies before them.
**[14:04] ---**
In other words, it doesn't need to be human.
**[14:09] ---**
Now, awaken, my faithful servant!
My soulless slaughterer!
**[14:17] ---**
Release Recollection!
**[14:21] ---**
I-Is this...
**[14:23] ---**
It can't be!
**[14:40] ---**
Discharge!
**[15:15] ---**
Impossible. Multiple weapons at the same time?
**[15:20] ---**
Not only that, but using Perfect Weapon Control art
of this magnitude on thirty weapons...
**[15:26] ---**
It violates the fundamental rules of the arts!
**[15:32] ---**
This is the power I've sought.
**[15:35] ---**
Pure offense that will continue to fight forever.
**[15:40] ---**
Its name is... let's see...
**[15:43] ---**
Why don't I call it Sword Golem?
**[15:49] ---**
A sword automaton!
**[15:59] ---**
Each of its swords has the Priority Level
of a Divine Object.
**[16:03] ---**
Do you think you can defeat this Sword Golem,
**[16:05] ---**
the ultimate weapon I've created by stretching
my precious memory capacity to the limit?
**[16:17] ---**
Now then, fight, Golem.
**[16:21] ---**
Annihilate your enemies!
**[17:37] ---**
Eu-Eugeo...
**[17:40] ---**
*Use your dagger, Eugeo!*
**[17:44] ---**
*Stab the floating platform in the floor!*
**[17:47] ---**
*I'll buy you some time! Hurry!*
**[18:36] ---**
*Thank goodness. He made it in time.*
**[18:43] ---**
*I'm happy...
that I got to fight with you at the... end...*
**[19:55] ---**
Kirito.
**[19:57] ---**
Who is she?
**[19:59] ---**
Cardinal.
**[20:01] ---**
She fought Administrator 200 hundred years ago
and was banished. She's another pontifex.
**[20:07] ---**
Don't worry, she's on our side.
**[20:09] ---**
She's the one who rescued Eugeo and me
and guided us here.
**[20:13] ---**
She loves this world with all her heart,
and also mourns for it.
**[20:17] ---**
Very well. Since she healed my wounds,
I shall trust in the warmth of her power.
**[20:37] ---**
You're so stubborn!
**[20:39] ---**
Didn't I release you from duty,
thank you for your hard work,
**[20:44] ---**
and order you to live as you pleased
in the corner of your favorite bookshelf?
**[20:48] ---**
Did Charlotte have a Fluctlight, too?
**[20:51] ---**
No. To use a phrase from your world,
she was the same as an NPC.
**[20:57] ---**
B-But... But then...
**[21:01] ---**
She saved me. She sacrificed herself for me.
**[21:06] ---**
How... how can that be?
**[21:09] ---**
This child had already lived for 200 years.
**[21:13] ---**
During that time, she spoke to me constantly
and watched over numerous people.
**[21:20] ---**
It's already been two years
since she attached herself to you.
**[21:23] ---**
Even if you have no Fluctlight
if you've spent that much time with another...
**[21:30] ---**
Even if her intelligence was nothing more
than accumulated input and output data,
**[21:36] ---**
it's possible for a true heart to reside there.
**[21:39] ---**
Yes, even love, in some cases.
**[21:44] ---**
Not that you'll ever understand that
as long as you live...
**[21:48] ---**
Administrator, you hollow fool!
**[23:36] ---**
Next time: Administrator.
