Replacement Guardians

"… Just be careful of its World's Will when approaching it. Even Alwyn was unsure as to its reasoning.'

After sending that message to Remilia, I recalled the update that I had just received from Alwyn.

My earlier guess was right. She was confined and restrained for days by the denizens of that world. She did say that it was her fault for underestimating their capabilities but from how she worded it, the girl suffered a lot from them.

Because even after freeing herself from the Chains, the girl didn't quickly escape that Transcendent World. If it's just for UPL and their current Pathway's progress, no one could beat her. The strongest Transcendent of that world was only around the peak Rank 2. They had a stronger Transcendent before but when they were attacked by an Invasive World, that Transcendent was killed. Hence the wariness to a foreign Transcendent like Alwyn as well as the reason why they captured her.
