Sword Art Online 012 – Alicization Rising Chapter 7 – The Two Supervisors 11 Cardinal, who lived in a humongous library room existing in a hermetic space, made Eugeo, drenched as he fell into a fountain during the battle, go to the bathroom and in that time, revealed a truth I found astonishing. That this world, Underworld, was a simulation of a civilization that had undergone through at least four hundred and fifty years internally. That the highest minister of the Axiom Church, ruling over the world, was once a beautiful young girl named Quinella; no different from a normal inhabitant. The girl who had devoted herself to the usage of sacred arts, or in other words system commands, pursued power to such an extent that she reached a forbidden incantation—a command to read the «entire command list». There was no other means for a single subject within the simulation to be promoted to a supervisor. With her absolute authority to rule, Quinella was likely looking down on this world from the top floor of the Central Cathedral now. Was that look directed towards Eugeo and I, lost in the sacred garden, as well...? Cardinal, sitting on the opposite side of the round table, turned a derisive smile onto me as she looked at me shivering from a sudden chill. Taking a sip of tea from the cup atop the table, she lifted her small spectacles. "It is far too early to shudder in fear." I suppressed the chills and somehow replied to her calm words. "Aah... sorry, please go on." Lifting my cup, I sipped at the tea that tasted similiar to coffee in the real world.
