This was Charlotte's first "conscious" crossing.

To be honest, before falling asleep, she was unsure if she would succeed or not; she merely had a feeling that now… perhaps she could rely on the Blood Holy Scripture to "consciously" perform "Time Reversal" and go back to the past.

It turned out her intuition was perhaps right.

As her clear consciousness gradually submerged into sleep, as the boundless darkness progressively devoured her field of vision, Charlotte, muttering "I want to go back to the past, I want to go back to the past!" felt the Blood Holy Scripture within the depths of her consciousness suddenly burst into a crimson brilliance, gradually swallowing the whole world.

In the obscurity, Charlotte saw a beautifully illusory clock emerge beneath her feet, its hands moving slower and slower until they finally stopped.

Charlotte found herself in a boundless void.

Beneath her feet was the stopped and illusory clock; around her were pieces of broken mirror.

Curiously, Charlotte looked toward those mirrors.

In the mirror nearest to her, an ominous red castle crumbled continuously; ferocious monsters waved their ghastly tendrils, in the sky, a silver-haired woman with an indifferent demeanor surrounded by crimson brilliance swung her arms, her reddish-gold irises shimmering as she conjured an illusory cage imprisoning the monsters...

Charlotte quickly recognized it; it was an image of her "suppressing" monsters in the Holy Land of Harcos, the silver-haired woman in the sky was herself in the Divine Power Liberation pose.

A strange throb surged up in her heart, and Charlotte instinctively reached out towards that mirror.

However, when her fingertips touched the mirror, they were blocked by an invisible barrier.

Smooth, cold.

It made Charlotte involuntarily think of the real meaning of a "mirror."

Charlotte withdrew her hand and looked at other nearby mirrors.

In those mirrors as well, various familiar scenes played out.

There was the splendid palace, where Charlotte, crowned and draped in regal garments, holding the scepter, Divine Sword, and treasure ball, walked towards the throne surrounded by people, accepting the worship of Kingdom Nobles and priests.

There was the solemn black castle, where the Divine Power Liberation Charlotte sternly stood, with the crimson Divine Power spreading, hundreds of Bloodline members looking on in terror and awe, kneeling on the ground as if worshiping a deity before her.

There was the brightly lit Divine Hall, where Charlotte knelt before a Divine Statue, bathed in Holy Light, praying towards the Divine Lord under the "care" of Holy Light.

And there was Castel's army ready to depart, where Charlotte, clad in silver armor, mounted on a horse and lifted her long sword to boost morale...

Each of these images was a memory fragment that Charlotte had once experienced, as if they were recorded history.

One by one, each mirror contained scenes that didn't repeat and all were recorded experiences where Charlotte was the main character.

These mirrors surrounded Charlotte; the nearest ones recorded the most recent memories, and the farther ones recorded increasingly distant times.

Charlotte felt a slight stirring in her heart.

Thinking this over, she walked towards the mirrors far away.

As she moved, Charlotte felt as if something was being drawn out of her body, and the still clock beneath her feet suddenly began to move counterclockwise.

With the reverse motion of the clock hands, Charlotte successfully stepped forward and arrived in front of the more distant mirrors.

These were fragments of her earlier memories, including a covert visit to Castel's mines, attending a banquet of the New Moon Kingdom Nobles, and the scene of her triggering a "Divine Miracle" during her coming-of-age ceremony.

This sequence of mirror-recorded fragments aligned like a line, forming a "ribbon" composed of countless mirrors marked by memorable memory fragments for Charlotte.

Oh, this is the "progress bar" of time!

Looking at the mirrors that "played" in reverse chronological order, Charlotte inadvertently had this thought.

Indeed, it resembled one, with the tapestry of mirrors representing "progress," while the clock beneath her seemed somewhat like a "slider."

With this thought, Charlotte walked to the beginning of the "progress."

There, there was only one mirror, portraying the eerie, dark cellar scene, where a girl was hung on a crucifix and brutally vivisected by the "old witch"...

Seeing that familiar scene, Charlotte instinctively shivered and couldn't help but reach out and touch her own stomach.

This was an experience she had shortly after her recent crossing.

And that terrifying experience was something she still couldn't forget even now.

Beyond that, the line of mirrors broke off.

But when Charlotte looked into the distance, she saw a dazzling galaxy.

No, it wasn't a galaxy; it was a long "ribbon" made of even more mirrors.

Those mirrors were just too far from Charlotte, so far that from her perspective, all she saw was a stretch of remote lights.

But if you looked closely, it seemed that the galaxy of lights was actually connected to the band of mirrors surrounding Charlotte.

Although many parts were broken in the middle, on the whole, they seemed to be one, giving Charlotte the impression of a long river of mirrors, with the vast majority cut off.

However, among those distant lights, Charlotte could faintly feel two particularly bright points, giving her an extremely close and familiar sensation.
