After hearing Izumi's words, Asagi Aiba finally came to her senses.
He was right.
Back then, she would have already been satisfied just reaching the equivalent of B-rank capability.
But now?
Now she was capable of mass-producing genuine four-digit-class artificial angels.
What did four digits represent?
That level was already comparable to beings like Great Red.
Existences who had spent countless years reaching such heights.
And yet now—
Asagi herself could manufacture entities of that level in batches.
Once she fully realized that, she immediately shook her head with a bitter smile.
"I really was overthinking things."
"Looking at it this way… we're already absurdly incredible."
"I should probably be satisfied."
After sorting out her thoughts, she no longer felt depressed about the bottleneck.
Besides, it wasn't as though she had completely failed to create higher-level beings.
After all—
Ikaros and Nymph had already surpassed the four-digit realm long ago.
And both of them had been improved personally by Asagi.
Seeing that she had finally figured things out, Izumi nodded approvingly.
"As long as you understand."
"Now that we can mass-produce four-digit artificial angels…"
"We should begin implementing the next stage."
"Our world needs more artificial angels."
Then his eyes narrowed slightly.
"And there are certain tasks they're perfectly suited for."
Hearing that, Asagi and the others immediately looked confused.
"Tasks?"
"What are you planning this time?"
Aside from acting as referees and enforcers, they could not imagine what else Izumi intended to use the artificial angels for.
Izumi nodded calmly.
"It's actually pretty simple."
"As more worlds continue integrating, more dangerous individuals are entering our world as well."
"Some people are willing to do absolutely anything for what they want."
"If we allow things to continue unchecked, eventually this world will become chaotic."
"So…"
At that point, Izumi directly explained the purification plan he had been considering earlier.
Specifically—
A system targeted toward individuals with malicious intent.
After hearing the entire explanation, everyone present fell into deep thought.
The first person to speak was Lala Satalin Deviluke.
"If that's the case, then we should install a morality-identification system into the angels."
"In this world, every action people take is already recorded by the world itself."
"So we can design a management system based on accumulated behavior and actions."
"Only those whose crimes exceed a certain threshold would be eliminated directly."
Then she added thoughtfully,
"But if we're doing this, we'll need Alaya's assistance."
"After all, she already manages that kind of information."
The moment Lala finished speaking, another voice echoed nearby.
"If it's something like that, I have no objections."
"In fact, I fully support Izumi-sama's proposal."
At some point, Alaya herself had already appeared beside Izumi.
As one of the world's wills, she was practically omnipresent within this realm.
Naturally, she had heard the entire conversation.
And honestly—
She strongly approved of the plan.
If it meant eliminating harmful individuals, why wouldn't she support it?
Alaya despised such people more than anyone.
As the collective will connected to all living beings, she could perceive the emotions and intentions of humanity itself whenever she wished.
And among those countless emotions…
The ones she hated most were malice, corruption, and hypocrisy.
So when Izumi proposed purging such individuals, Alaya immediately voted in favor without hesitation.
Hearing her approval, everyone else also nodded.
"If Alaya's cooperating, then there's no problem."
"The artificial angels are already deeply connected to the world itself."
"With a few modifications, integrating the system Lala mentioned should be easy enough."
Asagi quickly organized the concept in her mind.
"It'll only take a few days."
"We just need to connect them to the Akashic Records."
"Then their computational systems can automatically screen every individual entering the world."
After discussing the details for a short while, the group immediately began working.
Watching everyone suddenly throw themselves into research mode, Izumi could only sigh helplessly.
These people were all complete workaholics.
They had dragged him here—
And now they were entirely ignoring him.
He genuinely did not know whether to laugh or complain.
In the end, Izumi simply shook his head and stopped worrying about it.
Instead, he quietly remained nearby while waiting for them to finish.
Time passed quickly.
Before long, an entire day had gone by.
At last, Asagi and Lala successfully completed the system Izumi requested.
The moment the final adjustments were finished, they immediately installed the new program into the artificial angels without hesitation.
As streams of data flowed into the massive incubation chambers—
Asagi pressed the activation switch without the slightest delay.
The sleeping artificial angels slowly began opening their eyes.
