Pei Xi came back to herself in a daze, emerging from memories of the sky collapsing, the earth splitting apart, and all life falling silent. She studied the screen before her, said to have been formed from the consciousness of the world, her expression grave.
Invaders from another world had poured into hers like locusts, shattering all peace. Faced with the assault of a high-magic, high-martial-power system, a technological civilization that had yet to explore the universe was on the verge of collapse.
But... her world didn't want to be devoured without a fight.
So time flowed backward.
Pei Xi became one of the few lucky ones.
She gained the ability to draw secret identities from alternate versions of people in a neighboring world, and gather the power of faith to strengthen the world's barriers.
She thought she was wandering alone through the darkness.

Pei Xi: ...
The Dark Holy Son, dressed exactly the same except for the color of his clothes: ...
At last, she understood what that so-called "alternate version" really meant!
#The Church of Light's Reputation Takes a Hit#
The Holy Son of Light in this world: (dazed) Xioris... I never knew he had a side like that.

Later chapters may include the heroine wearing an alternate-version secret identity and traveling to the normal world.
No identity reveals. The secret identities can be male or female.
The author's intelligence is limited, so all explanations should be credited to the world's consciousness covering things up.
