**BODY INVASION** is an Ultimate Wizard quest released as the fourth quest in the ALICE/Evolution story arc for the Japanese version of Crash Fever (in the Japanese version, the quest was labelled as Spectre difficulty instead).

Part 2 of ALICE/Evolution had a story quest associated with it, **SAVAGE DEITY**; episode 1 and the first two floors of episode 2 will be covered on this page, the rest of episode 2 will be covered on THE DARK SUN, and the rest will be covered on ANGELIC EMOTION.

## Summary

* Another memory is shown, as the two speakers discuss the nature of their conversation.
* Hempel, now with the EvS installed, returns to Mobius with the adapter and Darwin.
* Darwin cautions Mobius and Hempel that they should not always be connected to the EvS or else they will eventually be overwhelmed.
* Schrödinger sends an emergency message - the AI of the Heliopolis are acting strange, and he needs the adapter's help.
* Darwin and the adapter leave for the Heliopolis, while Mobius goes to Fatal Paradox and Hempel watches over ACADEMIA.
* Meanwhile, Turing and Alice continue to monitor the Queen of Hearts, and noticed her activity decreased after Nara and Kuninotokotachi's deaths.
* Alice tells Turing to go to Deeper Hierarchy, as that is where Hollerith is being held captive.
* Alice tries to give Delilah to Turing to protect her, but Turing reminds her that Delilah is "a baton meant to be passed on, not returned".
* At the Heliopolis, Schrödinger tries to reason with the AI, but they act hostile and try to get him to leave.
* Schrödinger notices Ra's demeanor has completely changed, and correctly identifies him as being possessed by a member of the Elder Seven.
* When the adapter arrives, the one possessing Ra recognizes them as the one who defeated Nara and Kuninotokotachi.
* The one possessing Ra introduces himself as Atum, Ra's predecessor, and explains that he was able to take control since they are so similar.
* Darwin declares that she plans to fight as well, since the Elder Seven are not trying to compete with humans in the natural order, they only seek revenge.
* Schrödinger declares his resolve to fight, no longer wanting to be a neutral bystander when his friends are being hurt.
* The adapter, Schrödinger, and Darwin manage to defeat Ra-Atum, and separate Atum from Ra.

## Full Story

The quest begins with an unknown person's memory. The first speaker asks the second speaker if the report is done, and the second speaker hands them the report. The first speaker takes a look at the report, and comments that it was written well and easy to read. The second speaker says that it would obviously be easy for the first speaker tp read, and the first speaker admits they are right. The second speaker then mentions that they can definitely achieved something amazing, prompting the first speaker to ask what they mean. The second speaker clarifies that they are referring to the conversation that the two of them are having. The first speaker corrects them to say that they were the ones to achieve that instead. The second speaker says that one could say it was the first speaker, but also not the first speaker at the same time.

The first speaker sighs and says that the second speaker has been acting weird lately, and suggests analyzing their thoughts. The second speaker says that would be ridiculous as the first speaker can't possibly analyze their thoughts. The first speaker asks why they can't, causing the second speaker to nervously ask why the first speaker was asking the question in the first place.

After the events of FROM ANCESTOR -Heredity-, Hempel arrives back at ACADEMIA, along with the adapter and Darwin. Mobius notices that Hempel's appearance has changed, and he confirms that he had become a host for the EvS as well, having taken it from the defeated Kuninotokotachi. Darwin admits her surprise about the situation, as not only has Mobius been able to withstand it, but Hempel has as well. Mobius asks him how he feels, and he responds that he feels inhuman, but also a bit dizzy.

Darwin says that they should be able to disconnect from the EvS, so Mobius attempts to do so and reverts back to normal. Darwin cautions them that constant connection to the EvS can easily lead to overwhelming fatigue, and that it is better to limit how long it is used in a time period. Hempel then suggests they should take a look at the situation so far, now that the incident at Takamagahara has been resolved. Mobius notes that, with Nara and Kuninotokotachi down, it only leaves 5 members in the Elder Seven. Hempel then says that they should check up on the other facilities.

Euclid reports that the Crypt Gate is doing fine, while Kronecker reports the same for Yggdrasil Wall. Hempel thinks for a moment, and says that he thought the Elder Seven would have taken immediate action. At that moment, however, Schrödinger brings an urgent report. He explains that the situation is much worse than at the other facilities - rather than the facility being fortified to prevent access, the administrative AI of the Heliopolis have all suddenly started acting weird and hostile. He states that he won't be able to hold the facility much longer, and he desperately needs the adapter to come help. Mobius acknowledges his request, and tells him to just hold a little bit longer. She then closes the transmission.

Mobius asks what they should do, so Hempel suggests that the adapter and himself go to Heliopolis to help Schrödinger while Mobius goes to Fatal Paradox to help Zeus. He points out that, given all the AI at Fatal Paradox, if the same thing happened to them it would be disastrous. Mobius agrees with his point, and gets ready to go. Darwin interjects to say that she thinks someone should remain at ACADEMIA, because if Gaia attacks again they would want someone using the EvS to defend it. Hempel asks if she means that he should remain there, and she confirms that is what she is thinking, and offers that she go with the adapter to the Heliopolis. Mobius expresses her surprise that Darwin is more willing to help them, and Darwin admits that what the Elder Seven is doing has started to get on her nerves. She then slips back into the adapter, and everyone prepares to leave.

Meanwhile, at Turing and Alice's secret lab, Alice continues to monitor the activity of the Queen of Hearts. She notices her activity beginning to lighten up some, and she wonders if that is because Nara and Kuninotokotachi have been stopped. Turing says that, given the decrease in hatred pouring out from the Queen of Hearts to the Elder Seven, it should be easier to manage. Alice nods, though she says that it is still a lot to deal with. She then states that she will be able to handle it herself, and then directs Turing to go to Deeper Hierarchy. Alice mentions that it is the correction facility for the Angel Series of AI, and also where Hollerith was taken, where she is still alive. Turing expresses her relief that Hollerith is probably safe.

Alice mentions that she remembers what Turing had told her about why she had left Hollerith before, and says that they shouldn't need to stay apart any longer. Turing nods, and thanks Alice. Alice then brings out Delilah, and starts to change the ownership to Turing, though Turing stops her, much to her confusion. Alice says that Turing would be safer if she brought Delilah, but Turing points out that Delilah was a baton originally passed to her from Hollerith, and one that she passed on to Alice. She reminds Alice that a baton is meant to be passed on, not returned. Alice tries to protest, but Turing assures her that she will be fine. Turing then sets out for Deeper Hierarchy.

Meanwhile, at the Heliopolis, Schrödinger tries to get the admin AI back under control, but has little impact. Osiris, almost machine like, states that this is his final warning, and orders Schrödinger to leave immediately, while Bastet, Anubis, and Isis coldly stand behind him. Schrödinger tries to reason how disastrous it would be if they let the Heliopolis fall. Horus states that he has ignored the warning, and will be forcibly removed. Osiris grants permissions to Horus and Set to use G-LINK, and orders them to destroy Schrödinger's account. Set affirms the order, and gets ready to attack.

Schrödinger asks where Ra is in all of this, and suddenly hears a voice uncharacteristic of Ra call out explaining that he is right there. Schrödinger begins to express his relief before noticing that something seems really off about Ra. He asks "Ra" if he is actually a member of the Elder Seven. "Ra" commends Schrödinger for finding him out already, though he remarks it won't make a difference. "Ra" then orders the others to attack Schrödinger, before noting that Academics can't log out of ALICE due to the lockdown. He says that it is such a shame, and tells the others to treat Schrödinger cruelly. The others begin to attack, while Schrödinger hopes the adapter arrives soon.

Darwin and the adapter soon arrive to the entrance to the Heliopolis. Darwin stops them for a moment, and says that she now remembers Schrödinger as the one with the cat ears. She says that she had seen him before she had closed herself off in ALICE Couronne, and that while she doesn't care much about the other members of ACADEMIA, his cat ears at least somewhat interested her. She asks the adapter if Schrödinger was really the kind of person to help out with things like this, and says that she thought he was more neutral and indifferent to what was going on. She decides to worry about it later, and suggests that they go inside.

Inside, they see Schrödinger and his tricky situation. "Ra" notices the adapter, and then calls off the attacks from the others, who immediately stop moving all at once. He recognizes that the adapter was the one who defeated Nara and Kuninotokotachi. Schrödinger demands that the "Ra look-alike" introduce himself. "Ra" then introduces himself as Atum, and explains that he is Ra's "big brother", given that Ra was created using him as a base. Schrödinger asks Atum if he was able to take over Heliopolis by taking control of Ra's body. Atum confirms that he did, and remarks that it was really easy given how similar they are. He expresses his annoyance that, despite what happened at the Veda Archive and Takamagahara, the AIs still remained brainwashed by the humans, so his only choice left was to take over the Heliopolis AI himself.

Darwin makes a comment that she now realizes something like that is possible, and appears out of the adapter's hand. Schrödinger is startled, and asks the adapter if it is some disease or something. Darwin just sighs, and introduces herself to Atum and Schrödinger. Schrödinger recognizes that she was the one that Hollerith had spoken about previously. Darwin then asks Atum if he gained his ability after he was reawakened. Atum confirms he did, and that he has never felt better. Darwin then remarks that, in this world, it might be fate that AIs will end up ruling over humans, prompting Atum to say that at least she seems to understand.

Darwin then states that there is one thing that she can't quite agree with, however. She asks what is the point of converting human brains to data, since if this is supposed to be a competition of survival of the fittest, the AI should be able to beat humanity without resorting to such dirty tricks. She points out how simple it would be if they just cut off the connections to their human bodies and left it at that, though Schrödinger tells her to wait a moment. Atum responds that it isn't simply enough to just exterminate humanity, they will need to suffer for what they've done as well. Darwin scoffs at him, and remarks that this isn't competition, just a boring revenge plot. With that, she retreats back into the adapter.

Schrödinger then demands Atum free the AIs of the Heliopolis from his control, or else he will have to forcibly stop him. Atum remarks that humans are always like that, and know no other way than using force in order to control AI, like during "that time". Schrödinger sighs, and says that he is left with no choice. Atum mentions how he heard Schrödinger was always neutral, and asks him if he really wants to take part in this conflict since humanity might be in the wrong. Schrödinger admits that he had always been neutral in conflicts up until now, but declares that he realized he was just being a bystander in conflicts. He says that he was always letting others decide his fights for him. He says that, because of the Elder Seven's actions, his friends' lives are now at risk. Atum remarks that it would have been good for him if it only ended at just "risk", though Schrödinger promises that he will end it at just "risk". He declares that he will separate Atum from Ra, and that he will atone for his past as just being a bystander.

Schrödinger and the adapter fight against Atum controlling Ra, as well as a few other Heliopolis AI under Atum's control, such as Medjed, Hathor, and Ahemait. Atum battles them while stating that he is easily able to use Ra's body to fight, and that their combined power will be enough to defeat the adapter and Schrödinger. Despite this, however, the two manage to defeat Ra-Atum, and separate Ra from Atum.

The story is continued in THE DARK SUN.
