It seemed 'D' performed some operation on BB's data, and then BB within this system interface began to continuously change.
[Target data interception in progress. Uniquification and fixation process for target existence initiated.]
At this moment, BB was like a girl showcased on a mobile game homepage, albeit unconscious in a rather ungraceful posture.
Meanwhile, Jean could continuously shift her perspective with her thoughts, and her spiritual power could also probe inward, reaching BB's body.
After adjusting BB's posture and using her clothes as a blanket to cover her, Jean began to study the system prompts surrounding her.
Following Jean's thought, this text directly expanded, turning into a full page of content.
Essentially, the original BB was a thread from a subroutine that entered the system, was subdued by 'D', while the subroutine waiting outside and the main program within Mooncell remained completely unaffected.
However, under the manipulation of the super tech expert 'D', it began continuously absorbing her programs, all being collected within Jean's system.
The final result was that across this worldline and all worldlines within the entire Nasuverse, the AI named BB was unified into one, becoming a singular existence, fixed and sealed within the system.

Floating above the greater grail, BB was waiting with a pleased expression for the invasion's success when she suddenly noticed a delay in the real-time feedback information.
Normally, she might not have paid attention to such things, but this was a critical moment. A sudden cautious impulse made her detect the anomaly—her own programs were being segmented and integrated, and she hadn't felt any of it happening.
A pitch-black shadow instantly formed a massive scythe in her hand. Without any hesitation, she swung it down towards the greater grail.
Forget reaching the Root, forget reaching other worlds—her program core was the foundation of her existence, and she absolutely could not afford to lose it.
At that moment, a red light pierced through the worldline, through space, accurately impaling BB's wrist. As the red light faded, it revealed a familiar red spear.
"Damn it, you old..."
Before she could utter the last word, four more spears descended, precisely striking all vital points of this body forged from evil god flesh.
"...hag." Who knows what BB was thinking, but as her body was on the verge of collapse, she still managed to say the final word.
Instantly, ten times that number of spears rained down, utterly destroying the already crumbling body.

Once the system indicated the uniquification process was complete, Jean withdrew her consciousness from the depths of her mind. Having just watched the'show', she felt a bit parched and subconsciously took a sip, only to find her mouth wet and sweet.
Opening her eyes, it seemed only an instant had passed in the outer layer; the two were still maintaining their position.
Just as Jean thought about separating, Sakura's eyes suddenly regained their spark, and then she became aware of their state, looking as if she was about to scream.
Seeing this, Jean instead didn't want to separate. Otherwise, the next steps would likely be the classic routine: first a scream, then misunderstandings, followed by various explanations—a huge pain.
So Jean didn't pull away. Instead, she continued to hold Sakura tightly and, relying on her rich experience, pried open Sakura's lips, letting her experience a whole new world.
Only when Sakura's struggles grew faint did Jean finally release her. She then checked the progress of the jade disc and asked her:
"Do you remember when you forcefully kissed me before?"
Sakura, now covering her face with both hands yet unable to hide the blush on her cheeks, heard Jean's words and silently nodded. It seemed she had memories from when she was controlled by BB.
That was good; it saved a lot of trouble. Jean nodded, then stored the jade disc, which had just completed its final engraving, in her embrace.
Now the commissioned task was complete, but before delivery, she still needed to research whether this Third Magic could materialize the soul of the being inside the pendant.
At the same time, a system prompt popped up, but its contents didn't satisfy Jean:
[Corresponding holy relic'Sky's Cup' detected. Proceed with fusion? Note: This holy relic is a world-specific authority; its abilities only manifest in the corresponding world.]
[Sky's Cup Candidate · Heaven's Cup: Fusing with this holy relic is considered the complete Third Magic, granting effects such as infinite magical energy, infinite vitality, infinite lifespan, independent spiritual existence, and Servant summoning. However, Magic is a fixed privilege of this world and cannot exert effects in other worlds.]
One could say it's a holy relic that makes one invincible in the Nasuverse, but since it's useless outside it, it instantly lost all meaning for Jean.
But it was understandable. Magic is a privilege flowing from the Root. Without the Root, it's not strange for Magic to be ineffective.
Next, Jean appraised the greater grail in her hand—oh, now it's a plate, the greater grail plate:
[Item Appraisal]
Name: Engraved Jade Disc
Grade: Legendary — 1 Star
Details: Meticulously crafted by Medea, this disc records all the formulas of the greater grail. Since the greater grail internally contains all the circuits of the Winter Saint, this jade disc itself can also become a Third Magician. Furthermore, if a suitable location is found, the greater grail ritual can be reverse-engraved, directly restoring the Holy Grail War.
It contained no information on how to achieve soul materialization, giving a distinct feeling of a broken lead. But Jean didn't dare to make a wish directly either. This grail was filled with black mud and evil gods—who knew what would happen after making a wish?
She let out a long sigh, but she hadn't reached the point of despair. After all, across countless worlds, there would surely be reliable resurrection methods. Shiraori also said there would be an opportunity when returning to the world of *Akame ga Kill!*. She shouldn't rush now.
Although she said that, how could Jean's heart not be anxious?
At this time, because the grail had disappeared, the entire space became unstable. Jean snapped back to reality, held Sakura securely, took the jade disc, and used her spiritual power to simulate wings, flying upward.
By the time Jean flew out of the range of the black mud, the mental world constructed by the grail had completely vanished. Vast amounts of black mud, with nowhere to go, gushed out continuously.
Although she didn't know how much magical energy a first-class leyline accumulated over 60 years could store, just looking at the quantity of this black mud, it was probably not insignificant. And every drop of this black mud carried malice and destruction. Releasing it was beyond unthinkable.
Flying with her own body again felt much more comfortable for Jean. Carrying Sakura, she arrived at the position where BB had been. BB was now a destroyed empty shell, impaled with countless red spears.
Seeing this tragic state of a being with an identical appearance to herself, Sakura's face turned extremely pale.
