The blood-red eyes stared at Daniel.
"Did you tamper with it, or did you take it?" Daniel asked, his gaze fixed on the figure.
The figure didn't respond imdiately but continued to stare at him. After a while, a chanical voice replied,
"The God Emperor… that foolish man…"
It seed that the speaker hadn't used their voice in ages. Daniel could tell they were adapting to speaking again, and their speech beca increasingly fluid.
In their tone, Daniel detected a deep hatred for the God Emperor—an almost hysterical loathing.
The voice, unmistakably feminine, carried an eerie resonance.
"So, did you take it?" Daniel pressed.
The woman remained silent, as if lost in thought, then slowly responded.
In her hand was a glowing sphere, nearly identical to the one Daniel had found.
However, Daniel noticed sothing inside this sphere—a trace of the aura that the God Emperor had described, belonging to the destined one.
"I don't care what you intend to do. Hand it over now!" Daniel demanded.
"The God Emperor… he had no idea what I discovered! He's a fool who could never comprehend true greatness!"
"He didn't understand… what the world was truly ant to be!"
"Only I—or rather, we—can guide all beings to a truly perfect future!"
The woman's voice grew more confident as she spoke.
Through the reflective surface of the Mirror of Fate, Daniel saw her figure surrounded by a blood-red light, which was seeping into the mirror itself.
Perhaps she had been sealed for so long that aningful conversation was beyond her.
Or maybe…
These mbers of the Church of Origins were all lunatics to begin with.
Regardless, Daniel knew he had to obtain what the God Emperor had left for him.
He placed his fingers on the mirror's surface.
The Mirror of Fate was a creation of the divine dynasty, forged with every resource at their disposal, even a Level-14 forge.
It was strong enough to seal beings like the Church of Origins, a testant to its power.
But to Daniel, it was just a mirror.
The mont his fingers touched the surface, cracks began to spread across it, the sound echoing ominously.
"If you won't hand it over, I'll just take it myself!" Daniel declared.
As his words fell, the cracks on the Mirror of Fate multiplied and deepened until, in the next instant, the mirror shattered entirely.
Without hesitation, Daniel lunged at the figure.
The two faced off directly.
"What a hassle. Must I do everything myself? Now, will you hand it over?" Daniel's presence enveloped the woman, pressing down like an imnse weight.

"Hahaha…"
But the woman seed unaffected, breaking into laughter instead.
Her reaction puzzled Daniel.
Had she gone mad?
It seed like the only plausible explanation for her behavior.
"I knew it… this is the only answer! I've finally found the truth!" the woman exclaid, her eyes locking onto Daniel.
"The god of creation's executor of finality!"
"You've finally arrived!"
Daniel froze montarily at her words.
Executor…
A substitute for the Creator God, destined to bring judgnt and end the chaos.
He had heard sothing similar before from the Ancestral Unicorn.
Now, this woman had uttered the sa words.
Did they all believe that he was the god's executor?
"Are you talking about ?" Daniel asked.
"Who else? Is there anyone else here but you? The god's executor! The amusing part is that you seem completely unaware of your true identity!" the woman replied mockingly.
Daniel dismissed the claim in his mind.
He knew exactly who he was.
His only concern had always been Rose and his loved ones—perhaps now, even the Crossbridge World.
He prepared to snatch the glowing sphere from her hands.
But as he took a step forward, an intense sense of dissonance surged through him.
The sensation grew stronger with each step, making Daniel feel as though he wasn't in the sa universe as her.
It felt like standing in the void between two realities.
This strangeness forced Daniel to pull back.
He couldn't risk moving recklessly without understanding the situation.
He wasn't afraid of her sches, confident that his strength could crush anything in his path.
What concerned him was the distance—the place where the woman stood seed impossibly far from the God Realm.
Now he understood why his presence had no effect on her—she wasn't even in the sa universe.
"You don't know your true identity, do you? Don't you want to find out?" the woman taunted, her tone dripping with mockery.
Daniel remained silent.
He knew his own identity better than anyone.
His past life, those countless days and nights in the library, and the journey that had brought him to this world as Daniel.
It was all crystal clear in his mind.
But how had it all happened?
Why had he crossed over?
Why had he been in the library in the first place?
Could the answers to these questions lie here?
A sudden fear gripped Daniel's heart.
Did this woman truly know sothing he didn't?
"Do you know?" he asked cautiously.
"Of course! I know everything. Co here, and I'll tell you everything you want to know—even this!" she replied, waving the glowing sphere in her hand.
"I'll find you. But not now," Daniel said firmly.
The Church of Origins might already be in the God Realm—or sowhere across the multiverse.
Daniel needed to prepare.
Although the three divine beasts were likely at Crossbridge Academy in the 5-Elent God Realm, he couldn't rest easy.
"So… you're hesitating because of sothing—or soone—in the God Realm, aren't you? These are all typical tricks of the Creator God!"
"That foolish God Emperor also betrayed us for such aningless things!"
The ntion of the God Emperor stirred an uncontrollable rage in the woman.
"The God Emperor did what he did for all living beings! He could have had an endless life, like you, but instead, he chose to seal you for millions of years…"
Daniel thought of the God Emperor, who had likely disappeared entirely by now.
He couldn't help but respect the man.
"For all living beings? Hahaha… what a colossal joke! That fool has no right to speak of saving lives! What hope is there for beings with their paths entirely severed? Only we care for all living beings!"
"Destroying the multiverse and killing all living beings—that's your way of caring for them? Utterly ridiculous!" Daniel retorted.
