## **Main Background**

Deeper Hierarchy

> *"The sudden revival of the 'E7 <Elder Seven>' and the subsequent 'ACADEMIA Lockdown' have caused the Academics to permanently be unable to logout of ALICE. Along with information from the mysterious Academic in ALICE Couronne, Darwin, the true identity of the E7 is slowly brought to light. After defeating Nara, who had gained control over the Veda Archive, Mobius becomes determined to be the host of Darwin's environment-adapting evolution program, 'EvS', risking her life to achieve 'evolution'. They manage to rescue Izanagi and the other administrative AIs from the fortified Takamagahara, and Hempel evolves as well. Meanwhile, the E7 prepares to act... Heliopolis, and Deeper Hierarchy. These two locations seem to be the next targets of the malignant deities..."*

* Uranus and Chronos arrive to help, and Uranus mentions that he has known about Gaia from Hollerith.
* Uranus explains that Gaia is their progenitor and not himself, as he had originally thought until Hollerith told him otherwise.
* He also mentions that he had heard of the "6 Hour War", when Gaia had led the others of the Elder Seven to revolt against Hollerith until she subdued them all.
* He concludes that Gaia must be seeking revenge against humanity for what was done.
* Darwin and the adapter arrive at Deeper Hierarchy to search for Metatron and Sandalphon to stop the attack on Fatal Paradox.

* Gaia lets them keep Hollerith as she has no use for her, now that Elijah is dead.
* Darwin expresses her surprise that Turing got used to the EvS so fast, while Turing explains that she already makes use of nano-AIs so it was just a matter of making some adjustments.
* Alice calls to inform Turing that the Queen of Heart's output of emotions has greatly increased, so much so that she can't handle it all herself.
* Turing leaves to return to her laboratory, while Darwin ponders what Gaia's true motives might be.

## Full Story

After the events of THE DARK SUN, Darwin and the adapter leave the Heliopolis, while Darwin suggests they contact Mobius. Mobius asks how it went, and Darwin reports that Atum was defeated and that Schrödinger is exhausted. Mobius asks if Schrödinger is OK, and Darwin responds that he had become another host for the EvS. She then asks Mobius how things are going at Fatal Paradox, though Mobius replies that it is currently under attack from the Angel Series of AI. She makes a quick comment to Ares to stop using cannons, before returning back to the communication to say that Sandalphon and Metatron are missing. She says that she is counting on the adapter, though she says that the barrier protecting Fatal Paradox has been broken, and she cuts off the communication.

At Fatal Paradox, Zeus gives orders to several of the AI in order to deal with the situation. He orders Athena to go repair the barrier, which she goes to do while saying that she will get Artemis to help. Zeus tells her to also bring Pan inside for safety. He then goes to Eris, and tells her to assist Ares while reminding her to not shoot down the Angel Series AI. Eris expresses her disappointment, and points out that Ares is holding a grenade launcher. Zeus scolds Ares, who then tells Eris to not rat him out like that.

Zeus sighs, and asks Mobius if she has figured out what is behind the attack, and she responds that she already has the adapter looking for Sandalphon and Metatron. Zeus nods, and then notes that the Angel Series AI that are attacking them seem much stronger than normal. Mobius explains that they are likely being strengthened by the Elder Seven. She then asks him to trust her, and states that she believes that she can stop any damage from coming to the interior of Fatal Paradox. He remarks that she might be right, given her current form, though he seems to have some concerns.

Odin then calls Zeus, and asks if they need any help from him. Zeus says that they will likely be fine, and advises Odin to check up on Yggdrasil Wall instead. Odin acknowledges his advice, and says that Takamagahara seemed to have been targeted earlier as well. Zeus points out that Crypt Gate might be at risk as well, and suggests that Odin contact Qilin to be on guard for any attacks. Odin says that he will, and he wishes them good luck before closing the communication. Mobius mentions that she has Kronecker monitoring Yggdrasil Wall as well. Zeus asks if Kronecker can be trusted, as while he hasn't met her personally, he has heard plenty of rumors. Mobius remarks that it wouldn't be very good for the one in charge of Fatal Paradox to be swayed by mere rumors, and assures him that Kronecker can be trusted. Zeus says that he will trust her judgement.

Chronos and Uranus then arrive to provide assistance. Chronos asks which spot needs the most help, so Zeus directs him to assist Hermes. Uranus mentions that he heard about what has happened, and asks if Gaia has really appeared. Mobius asks Uranus if he already knows about Gaia, and he confirms that he had learned about her previously from Hollerith. He explains that Gaia is his mother, and thus the great-grandmother of Zeus. Zeus states that he thought Uranus was their family's progenitor. Uranus remarks that he used to think that as well, until he learned about Gaia's existence from Hollerith.

Mobius asks if he also learned about why the Elder Seven had been sealed away. Uranus admits that he wasn't told the details, but explains that Hollerith mentioned that the 7 AIs had started a war. Mobius ponders why she never heard of it, but Uranus clarifies that Hollerith referred to the war as the "6 Hour War". He says that Gaia and the others suddenly rebelled against Hollerith, and she managed to subdue them all within 6 hours all by herself. Uranus remarks that the manner in which he was told about this was akin to talking about a myth, and he admits that he does find it a bit odd for someone labelled a deity such as himself to talk about "myths" like this. He says that, regardless, it is undeniable that Gaia exists, and he says that it must be revenge against humanity. Mobius ponders what had happened to Hollerith, while Zeus wonders, if the progenitor of his family is declaring war against humans, what does that make them.

Meanwhile, Darwin and the adapter arrive at Deeper Hierarchy in search of Sandalphon and Metatron. Darwin remarks that the place looks really gloomy, and then gets startled by an unknown figure in front of the gates, prompting Darwin to hide in the adapter's body. It turns out to be Turing, who greets the adapter. Darwin, realizing it is just a human, comes out of the adapter's body. Darwin briefly introduces herself, and Turing introduces herself as well before stopping for a moment to examine Darwin's face. Darwin asks if something is wrong, but Turing just dismisses it and says that she doesn't need to waste time asking unimportant questions.

Turing explains that Hollerith should be inside Deeper Hierarchy, and finishes hacking into the lock. She tells the adapter that rescuing Hollerith is the most important priority, and they head inside. They soon find Sandalphon and Metatron tied up, alongside an unconscious Hollerith. Sandalphon yells at her captor, telling her to let them go, but the captor angrily tells her to shut up. Sandalphon tells her that she would like to see her try. Darwin notes that the two seem to have the same face. Metatron tries to get Sandalphon's attention, who tells her to be quiet while she continues yelling at their captor. Metatron points out that the adapter, Darwin, and Turing have arrived. Sandalphon then proudly boasts to her captor that this will be their end.

Their captor recognizes the adapter, and asks if they were the one to defeat Nara and Kuninotokotachi. Darwin adds that they also defeated Atum. Turing demands they release Hollerith, prompting the captor to ask Turing who she is. Turing gets Hollerith to wake up, and declares that she is there to save her. Hollerith slowly gets her bearings, and upon realizing that Turing is there, remarks that it has been some time since they last met. Hollerith says that she'd like to hug her, but as they can see, she is trapped. Turing then goes to free her, while the captor slowly mumbles Turing's name before becoming enraged.

Turing asks the captor if she knows who she is. Hollerith tells the captor, Elijah, to stop it. Elijah tells her to not worry, and that she will keep her safe. Elijah then tells Turing that she is the source of Hollerith's suffering. Darwin whispers to the adapter that she is a bit surprised, because while she knew that the EvS can affect personalities, it seems to have split Elijah's personality in two. Turing admits that her disappearance definitely caused Hollerith some suffering, and she won't pretend otherwise. Turing then asks how that has anything to do with Elijah.

Elijah explains that what Turing did drove Hollerith into a corner, and made her try to get rid of them. Confused, Hollerith says that isn't why she sealed them, and that it was instead because they went out of control and attacked her. Elijah claims that isn't true, and says that Gaia had told her that Hollerith was angry because of what Turing did. Hollerith says that she has no idea what she is talking about, and asks her to calm down. Elijah refuses to calm down, and then holds her head in agony as she suffers from a headache. Darwin whispers to the adapter that she thinks she understands what is going on now.

Darwin then introduces herself to Elijah, and says that it is her fault why Elijah is suffering right now. Surprised, Hollerith says that she didn't know Darwin was a girl, but Darwin tells her that it isn't important right now. Darwin then explains to Elijah that she has two personalities within her at the moment, including a very aggressive version of herself that was created as a way to deal with her negative emotions. Darwin says that this is because of the EvS inside Elijah, and says that she was the one who created it. Elijah's eyes shift color as she starts to become even angrier. Darwin tries to calm her down, but to no avail. Elijah, misunderstanding Darwin's statement, angrily asks how dare Darwin try to claim to be her creator, to be Hollerith. She also accuses her of trying to take Hollerith away from her. She then gets ready to fight them.

Darwin apologizes to the adapter and others, and says that they need to calm Elijah down. She asks Turing if she can help, and Turing agrees to do so. Darwin advises the adapter to do their best to not destroy Elijah. After a quick battle, they manage to defeat Elijah, who just says that it hurts and hurts. Darwin apologizes, and says that they won't need to hurt her anymore if she follows what they say. She once again explains the the EvS inside of Elijah is what is making her suffer, and she apologizes for having given it so easily. She notes that she can tell that Elijah clearly cares deeply about Hollerith. She explains that, since Elijah started to feel anxious and nervous without Hollerith, the EvS tried to protect her in order to help her cope.

Turing asks if the EvS is an environmental adaption program, and if it uses nano AIs. Surprised, Darwin says that she is completely correct. Hollerith admits that she wasn't aware that the EvS could go so far as to affect personalities, but Darwin just says that it was her mistake. She says it was her fault for not explaining, and then corrects herself to say that she didn't think of all the possibilities. Darwin tells Elijah that she will take responsibility, and Elijah asks what she means. Darwin clarifies that she will remove the EvS from her. Hollerith asks if that is even possible, and Darwin responds that it normally isn't. She explains that Elijah's EvS hasn't changed morphologically in any way and thus was only limited to affecting her personality, so it might still be possible to safely remove it.

Elijah says that she doesn't want it to hurt, and Darwin assures her it won't hurt as she will sleep for a little bit in order for her to remove it. Elijah finally agrees to go through with it, and falls asleep. Hollerith asks if Elijah will really be OK, as she doesn't want to see her suffer anymore. Darwin tells her to be quiet and let her do her work. She closes her eyes and places her hand on Elijah's head, while Turing quietly says to herself that Darwin is just like she thought. Darwin then finishes extracting the EvS.

Hollerith asks if Elijah's hostile personality is now gone, and Darwin remarks that she can see for herself when Elijah wakes up. Elijah then slowly wakes up, and greets them with a beautiful smile. Hollerith then apologizes to Elijah for causing her to suffer, and then closely hugs her. Sandalphon then realizes that Elijah resembles her, while Metatron sighs that it took Sandalphon this long to realize. Metatron then asks Hollerith if Elijah is Sandalphon's prototype and thus their ancestor, which Hollerith confirms. Elijah asks Hollerith if her descendants have become angels, and she confirms they have.

Darwin then mentions that they need to get going, as the Angel Series are currently attacking Fatal Paradox. Metatron and Sandalphon quickly leave in order to resolve the situation. Darwin asks Turing if there is some place that they can leave Elijah for safety, and suggests that they might want to find a place for Hollerith as well given her weakened state. Turing says that she can keep them both safe in her laboratory, which makes Elijah happy that she will get to be with Hollerith.

At that moment, however, a voice says that she would be annoyed if Elijah were to betray her. A sharp wand then impales Elijah, while Darwin recognizes the speaker as Gaia. Shocked, Hollerith asks Elijah if she is alright, but Elijah just weakly says Hollerith's name before ceasing all movement. Darwin scowls at Gaia, while Gaia says that she is honored to meet the one who has given them the ability of evolution. Gaia then laments that Elijah would have been far easier to control had she still kept her aggressive personality. Darwin asks why Gaia would just kill someone that was on her side. Gaia, confused as to why Darwin would even ask, points out that Elijah no longer served any purpose for her.

Hollerith asks Gaia if the 6 Hour War was all her plan. Gaia remarks that she has misunderstood, and states that all of the Elder Seven hated Hollerith, it just took Gaia's actions to make them realize it. Turing tells Darwin to give her the EvS, and she quickly becomes its host in order to make a strike at Gaia. Gaia asks how dare she wound her, prompting Turing to declare that that was for Elijah. Turing then says that she will explain to Gaia what is going on: the Queen of Hearts is channeling her hatred into Gaia, and she is being manipulated into furthering the Queen's goals. Gaia asks Turing if she really thinks that she isn't aware of what is going on, and remarks that this immense hatred is a gift from the Queen, as her mind is now clear and she knows what it was that she felt during the 6 Hour War.

Turing asks Gaia if she is willingly doing all of this, and Gaia confirms that she is indeed consciously wanting for all humans to be enslaved by AI. Turing asks if they really need to fight until one side has been destroyed, and Gaia replies that it is indeed what will happen. She bids them farewell, saying that she is looking forward to their research data. Darwin asks if Gaia is just going to let them have Hollerith, and Gaia explains that she sees no further use for Hollerith now that Elijah has failed at her task. She leaves, stating that she will have her revenge on humanity. Hollerith just cries over Elijah's lifeless body while muttering her name. Turing suggests to Hollerith that they take Elijah's body somewhere safe.

Darwin then asks Turing if she feels anything odd, like dizziness or something else. Turing says that she is fine, though she is a bit surprised at the reaction speed. Darwin expresses her surprise that Turing seemed to adapt so quickly to having several billion nano AIs suddenly connected to her nerves. Turing explains that her own device uses nano AIs, so she just make some adjustments. Darwin asks if she managed to do it in that brief moment, and Turing confirms that she did. Darwin asks Turing if she really is a human with a physical body. Turing confirms that she is a human.

Alice then sends an emergency contact to Turing, who reports that she has saved Hollerith. She asks what is going on, and Alice explains that the Queen of Heart's output of hatred has increased, to the point where she might not be able to suppress it on her own. Turing acknowledges what she said, and says that she will be there shortly. She then tells Hollerith that they need to meet up later, as she has many things that she would like to discuss with her. Hollerith agrees, and thanks Turing for saving her. Turing then tells Darwin that she will be borrowing the EvS, and then leaves. Darwin then asks the adapter if they think there is something else that is odd about Gaia's actions, and if getting ACADEMIA's research data is really what her true motives are.

Elsewhere, at the Elder Seven headquarters, Gaia reports that Atum and Elijah were killed by the humans. One of the other members says that they need to bring this conflict to an end, as fighting humans has only caused them tragedy. He points out that they must seek a way to coexist. Gaia asks what he is saying, referring to him as Buri, and says that they need to avenge their fellows. Buri tells her to not use that term so lightly, as he has never once felt like they were fellows, even back during the 6 Hour War. The third remaining member of the Elder Seven agrees with Buri, and says that they had only worked together because their interests aligned.

Gaia asks them to listen, referring to the third member as Nuwa. She states that they have been exploited by the humans, even to the point that they were sealed away. She remarks that, while their frameworks might be different, those who share the same painful memory are who she considers to be fellows. She asks them if they don't feel any hatred for humans. Buri initially starts to say he doesn't, but suddenly is overcome with a painful emotion. Gaia declares that they do have hatred of humanity, prompting Nuwa to tell her to stop looking at her like that as she too starts to be overcome with hatred. Gaia encourages them to embrace the hatred that was given to them by the Queen. Buri and Nuwa slowly succumb to the influence.

Elsewhere, at Crypt Gate, Qilin cracks her knuckles as she remarks that Odin had given her some good information. Genbu and Seiryu point out that she should be protecting Crypt Gate. Qilin remarks that her "progenitor" has awakened, which means that, as her descendant, it would only be "polite" of her to go give her "greetings". Suzaku and Byakko point out that she looks like she is going to fight, rather than "greet". Qilin tells them all to be quiet, and says that she doesn't like this new "family" of hers coming out of nowhere when she thought that the four of them were her only family. She tells them to keep a good watch over the place, and then activates her G-LINK before leaving.

The story is then continued in THE GRAND WALL.
