In The Vision.

Origami, wearing her AST CR-Unit, arrived at a certain abandoned building.

"Damn it! Why, after my parents death, can you still be protected by others with peace of mind??" Origami's eyes were filled with unwillingness. She punched the walls of the ruins with all her might.

"Why! Why!! WHY!!!"

"Time and time again, I take away what's important to me."

Origami's face turned red with anger, her teeth clenched so tightly that her lips began to bleed.

"In the end, it's because I'm not strong enough."

"If... if I had that kind of power, I could have stopped all of this from happening!"

At this exact moment, a strange phenomenon occurred. A pixelated phantom slowly appeared beside Origami.

The phantom, with a mechanical voice that couldn't be identified as male or female, tempted Origami. "Origami Tobiichi, do you desire power?"

Hearing this, Origami turned her head to look at it, not caring who it was. Her expression was extremely decisive, even filled with a crazed fervor.

"Power! Just give me power! I don't care what price I have to pay!!"

Then, the phantom looked at Origami Tobiichi and slowly extended a hand.

When she opened her palm, a white Sephira Crystal lay within.

"As long as you use this, you can obtain even greater power."

Hearing these words, Origami took the Sephira Crystal without a hint of hesitation.

The moment she took the crystal, it directly merged into Origami's body.

The next moment, Origami's entire body emitted a dazzling light, a white reiryoku enveloping her.

Immediately, Origami's body began to be transformed by the power of the Sephira Crystal.

———

The girls watching this scene all had different expressions.

Upon seeing the phantom appear and take out the Sephira Crystal, Kotori, Nia, and Yoshino all fell into deep thought.

This was so similar to the process of them becoming Spirits; one could even say it was identical.

As for Origami Tobiichi, her eyes were fixed on the transformation of her future self in the vision.

She hadn't expected that in the future, she would become a Spirit for the sake of power.

Shiori and Tohka, on the other hand, just felt surprised.

Only Reine Murasame—when she saw her future self hand the Sephira Crystal to Origami, turning her into a Spirit—

At this moment, the usual calmness in her eyes was gone, completely replaced by horror.

'This ability to know the past and future—the Second Spirit, Nia Honjou, can also do it...'

'Nia's manifested Angel is the Angel of the Book, [Rasiel], which includes information retrieval pages and blank pages.'

'Her ability is omniscience, capable of obtaining any information she desires, as long as it's not beyond the future, anything happening now, who's doing what, etc., can be found on the information retrieval pages.'

'However, to be able to directly cross time and watch future events unfold—this is just too absurd!'

Glancing at Kyoya, Reine couldn't help but sigh inwardly. 'Kyoya is very mysterious and unfathomable!!'

In The Vision.

Simultaneously, as the white light dissipated, Origami's figure also appeared before everyone.

At this moment, Origami wore a pure white wedding dress. The hem of her Astral Dress was adorned with fine gold threads.

A golden halo, like a crown, floated above her head, connected to transparent veils composed of light. White, radiant wings emerged from her back, formed by countless feathers of light.

The Spiritified Origami looked like a legendary holy Angel, which perfectly corresponded to her ability's designation—Metatron.

"This..." Origami opened her eyes, feeling the changes in herself.

"Am I... a Spirit now?"

To suppress the urge to vomit welling up from deep within, Origami clenched her teeth tightly.

She had become the very existence she despised, hated, and loathed the most. She forced herself to stay clear-headed.

After all, Origami now had more important things to accomplish.

The reason, of course, was the Sephira Crystal that had turned her into a Spirit.

And that pixelated phantom!

"Could it be that... it's the one turning humans into Spirits?"

"Does that mean... it's the one that caused my parents to..."

The thought that the unidentified phantom was the true murderer of her parents filled Origami's heart with intense hatred.

And by the time Origami realized this possibility, the phantom had already disappeared. Thus, she had no chance to question it.

However—there was one thing she was certain of at this moment.

Yes!

She was now a Spirit... possessing the power to defeat Spirits.

"If... that kind of thing can really be done..." Simultaneously, a hint of excitement surged in Origami's heart.

Origami swallowed hard, then flew into the sky, searching for... a certain person. Ultimately, Origami found Nightmare—Kurumi Tokisaki.

Using one of the abilities of Zafkiel, Yud Bet, she performed a time reversal, wanting to go back to the past and prevent that disaster.

She successfully persuaded Kurumi Tokisaki to use Yud Bet on her.

When Origami's vision cleared, she found herself back five years ago, at the moment the fire broke out.

———

Just then, I, within the river of time, suddenly snapped my fingers, pausing the entire world.

Seeing this, Origami and the other girls looked at me, puzzled.

"Origami, the following scene might be difficult for you to accept. It might even cause a mental breakdown!"

"Are you... sure you want to watch?!"

Hearing my reminder, Origami's heart couldn't help but feel surprised.

Even Kotori, Reine, Tohka, and the other girls beside her were somewhat puzzled.

'What scene could possibly make Origami break down?!'

Hearing my warning, Origami Tobiichi couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but at the same time, she was eager to know what happened next.

After taking a deep breath, she requested with a serious expression. "Please continue! I want to know the truth!"

After confirming Origami's choice, I immediately snapped my fingers again...
