In the resounding stillness, Sarah's voice echoed, making the Alghis's alien-like form shudder in trepidation. Its and the tower's sensitive mechanisms gave alert signals of extreme danger, a danger that's even beyond the grasp of the nexus system!
(Please... Wait. Esteemed Guest, I'll promptly check for the cause behind the 'error'.)
Even a material life form like Alphis couldn't comprehend the peculiarities shown by the primeval program, and why it reacted the way it did. Moreover, that pitch-black matter...
As the 'GM' of this analysis tower, Alphis knew that there isn't a data programme like the pitch-black matter inputted into the rainbow-colored crystal ball. So, it was utterly perplexed at the sudden 'errors'.
[Processing... Processing... Processing. Requesting permission: permission granted. Accessing the main programme. Scanning for any irregularities: No errors detected. Searching for viruses: no viruses found. Comprehensive scan complete: No issues identified.] The Alphis's once unrecognizable voice turned robotic, uncountable digital lines swirling around its alien-like form.
After some robotic murmurs, the Alphis concluded its checking. The digital lines transformed into particles, scattering in the expansive hall..
The Alphis' uncertainty evident, its robotic voice returning to being unrecognizable. (My apologies, esteemed guest, I didn't find any problems in the server mechanism nor are there any errors in the priv~~~)
(Do you expect me to believe that!?)
Before it could finish, Sarah's extremely chilling voice once again reached the Alphis, causing it to tremble powerlessly under the tremendous oceanic pressure.
Not only the Alphis, everyone in the Hall was brought down to their knees. The depthless pressure shrouded the entire analysis tower in gloominess.
Well, except for Sora and Void. Sora observed the unfolding scenario in curiosity, while Void remained indifferent, yet one could see an exciting gleam in his blank eyes.
{Kukuku. Chaos is always fun.} He murmured.
✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️
(I can't breathe. Damn it,) someone trembled as they endured the unbearable pressure.
(So this is the power aura of a god-like entity,) Patriarch Moretti marveled in wonder.
(Stupid bat, don't get delusional. I can feel it. This isn't even a fraction of her true power aura,) Even in this situation, Rias though, trembling like the others, but wouldn't mind indulging in her usual meddlesomeness. And the one who always bore the brunt of her meddlesome mouth is this unfortunate vampire.
(How do you know that?) Patriarch Moretti asked.
(Instincts, of course,) Rias proudly replied.
(Right...) Patriarch Moretti's mouth twitched. He thought, [I should have known better. Why did I even bother to expect this crazy bitch to reply normally.]
***
(Too strong... Unbelievably strong,) Azul muttered, his eyes fixed on the grey figure.
(The God-like. Each one of them is a monstrosity in their own right, to which even the family head must bow to,) Old man Cavve resigningly sighed, bearing the pressure as he activated a peak-grade armament to protect Azul.
Meanwhile, Azul paid no attention to the old man's words. He kept muttering, (This era, it's truly fascinating. God-like, huh? I thought I would be one of the best even in this era, but it seems... I have a new goal now.)
(What is it?) the old man asked curiously.
Upon hearing the question, Azul's lips curled. (To defeat and trample these 'god-like entities' under my feet.)

Sarah coldly glared at the Alphis, the standoff lasting for a while.
The depthless pressure tore through the mental barriers of the Alphis, causing malfunctions in its material body. Its sentience teetering on the brink of collapse.
And just as it was about to shut down its system due to the pain receptors overheating, it heard Sarah's barely audible voice.
(No matter, I'll just have to take matters into my own hands.)
While saying that, Sarah ascended into the ether, retaking her previous position in the center of the Hall. She extended her right hand, a deep blue aura erupting from her body, reshaping into thin branches. Finally, her melodic voice echoed in the gloomy Hall: {Authority' Release: Rule Breakdown}.
CLANG - CLANG - CLANG
As a result, chain-like golden threads began unshrouding all around Sarah, as if binding her existence. Then, with a snap, all the 'cosmic shackles' restraining her existential freedom broke down.
[Authority' released, initiating rule breakdown]
{Authority': Rule breakdown = Upon release, the user will be liberated from all rules, laws, and worldly constraints, including moral codes. Within 13 days, regardless of the type of rule broken by the user, except for certain forbidden rules, all penalties and consequences will be rendered null & void. Additionally, the nexus system is prohibited from intervening. Backlash - None}
Sarah's Neuro-Panel was inundated with notifications, but she disregarded them, shutting her eyes and focusing her thoughts.
The deep blue aura, resembling branches, undulated and spread throughout the entire hall before attaching itself to the ether, serving as a link, connecting Sarah to the tower's server mechanism.
✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️
Amid the bewildered gazes of the onlookers, a multitude of digital data began streaming through the aura links, being absorbed by Sarah.
This persisted for 5 minutes. Finally, in the sixth minute, Sarah's eyes abruptly opened, and a whisper slipped from her lips. (Found you!)
Through her senses, one could perceive a disorderly digital realm with chaotic colours, weaving in the unknown - the primeval program.
In an unremarkable corner, a black wisp remained motionless, in contrast to the ever-changing colors. Over time, the black wisp became hazy, as if fading from existence.
Nevertheless, before it could truly disappear, a deep blue aura wrapped around it, caging it in a grip reminiscent of the moon.
Due its earlier energy form faded into nothing, leaving only a tiny black wisp on the brink of vanishing, its struggle became futile. Soon, the deep blue aura completely subdued the tiny black wisp, blending into the chaotic colors, disappearing.

(Ahhhhhhhhhhh! 😱)
Subsequently, cracks began appearing all over Alphis's materialized form, causing its overheating pain receptors to overload.
As the "GM" of this analysis tower, Alphis's connection to the server mechanism is paramount and unseverable—just like a soul contract. Thus, its existence is linked to the core of the tower.
Whenever the analysis tower suffers damage, it will receive a backlash in the form of pain. So, when Sarah's overwhelming senses intruded into the primeval program, the server mechanism became unstable, teetering on the line of destruction.
However, fortunately, before it could self-delete itself by utilizing the safety mechanism, the intruding deep blue aura disappeared, restoring stability to the server and bringing relief to Alphis. However, the next moment, it heard the death sentence being issued.
("I guess I have no choice but to destroy this tower for upsetting my prince.".) ⭕⭕⭕
