43. Character Correlation Diagram, Throughout the Miltian Conflict
This outlines the relationship of people in the lower domain throughout the Miltian Conflict. Although the direct factors for causing Eternal Recurrence were still quite difficult to see, what could be seen were the movements of Wilhelm who was preparing the soil for producing, growing, and gathering those factors. However, the deeds of far too deeply violent men had built up such complicated relationships, that it shrouded and hid Wilhelm's form.

{U-TIC Organization}
The U-TIC Organization, which acted as the parent-organization of the former Mizrahi Cerebral Sciences Research Center, for the purpose of controlling the Zohar, analyzed Lemegeton, constructed the Zohar Emulators, developed the U-Do System, and promoted link experiments using patients of the Acute Neurosis Treatment Facility. A wide range of organizations, such as the Galaxy Federation and Ormus, surrounded the grand experiment that had become the key to Project Zohar, and they collapsed into a state of whirling conspiracies that became entangled like daemons.
Funds for the former Mizrahi Cerebral Sciences Research Center had been donated by Vector Industries where Wilhelm served as CEO, but after the center had become part of U-TIC, Hyams Heavy Industry, which was under the jurisdiction of Ormus, became the financial backer. Also, all of the important positions of the U-TIC Organization had been filled by those affiliated with Ormus. However, Heinlein, the CEO of Hyams Heavy Industry, was none other than Wilhelm, who had concealed himself and changed his name.
From the era of the former Mizrahi Cerebral Sciences Research Center through the era of the U-TIC Organization, Wilhelm was always offering funds and backing plans. The fact that the official origin of the investment had changed was something that had a hand in intensifying the power dispute and helped cause the Miltian Conflict.
Moreover, at this time, Mizrahi's assistant Kevin was already moving according to direct instructions from Wilhelm.
{Ormus}
People like Margulis and Pellegri, who were in the position of being dispatched to the U-TIC Organization from the Galaxy Federation Government, were also already acting on Ormus's side, and they were being given instructions by Ormus's Pope Sergius XVII. However, Sergius's ambitions were within Wilhelm's influence, and it was even possible to control them from the background as Heinlein.
{Yuriev Institute}
Yuriev, who had already been contaminated by U-Do, created the URTVs in order to build-up research on U-Do. By making an existence that possessed an anti-U-Do wave, he tried to understand U-Do itself. At that time, Yuriev used the treatment of Joachim and Juli Mizrahi's daughter Sakura's illness, "hypersensitivity towards the synchronicity of the UMN", as training for the URTVs.
Still young boys, the URTVs continued to grow up during those kinds of days, experiencing feelings such as love, jealousy, loneliness, fear, and anger. They did so, without understanding the reason for existence that was occasionally set; all the while, worrying over a false reason for existence.
Before the outbreak of the Miltian Conflict, Yuriev was shot to death by Gaignun. And once they had been deployed into the conflict, Rubedo touched U-Do's wave and learned the fear, severing the link. The URTV force crumbled, and Albedo was contaminated by U-Do. During the turmoil, Rubedo and Nigredo were rescued by chaos and Canaan, and Albedo was rescued by Sellers.
{Federation Government}
Shion's father Suou had been sent to supervise the U-TIC Organization. Even though he knew the dangers, for the sake of his wife, and for the sake of his daughter who may eventually fall to the same fate, he offered his wife to U-TIC. And, trying to plan his family's safety, he leaked information on Ormus, which lurked in the shadows of U-TIC, to his son Jin, a member of the Galaxy Federation Army.
Meanwhile, Helmer also needed to oppose Ormus's influence, and so he dispatched Jin, while at the same time, sending chaos and Canaan down to Miltia.
{Wilhelm's Maneuverings}
Wilhelm at that time was still maneuvering at a human-level, rather than actively using Testament. He directed the flow of funds, staged the competition of organizations, guided the running-out-of-control of Realians from the background, and sent the special Realian equipped with Program Canaan into the mayhem. Thus, he had proceeded to set the stage in order to reach Eternal Recurrence.

This outlines the relationships of people in the lower domain after the destruction of Proto Merkabah. The blood dispute by the URTVs became the spark that set this time into motion. Without showing great movement, Wilhelm watched the flow of destiny that was being weaved together by the network of human ambitions, and he waited for the time that was to come after.

{Testament}
As time passed, the number of Testaments continued to increase one-by-one, but they were still shrouded in darkness. Without moving to the forefront, in order to arrive at Eternal Recurrence, they interfered by showing themselves when what must be done was done, or when what must be done was not done.
{URTV}
Bound by the link to their past from which they themselves were produced, the URTVs suffered from the fake reason for existence of being "anti-U-Do weapons" which had been implanted in them by Yuriev. Unable to affirm themselves, nor manage their own hearts sufficiently, they repeated their blood dispute due to extremely individualistic thoughts.
Albedo was unable to let go of his attachment as a conjoined twin. He felt love and jealousy towards Jr, who bore in his own heart a love for Sakura who had become the model for MOMO. In order to run away from immortal loneliness, his own aspirations, which reflected the desire to be annihilated by Jr's hand, disrupted the world.
Such movement of hearts, as a flow of consciousness, comes to be known by Wilhelm through the Compass of Order and Chaos.
The world of man continues to move according to the relationships of the aspirations of many people. When in a state where systematic conflicts come to a standstill, the flow of consciousness violently stirs within it in order to set the next time into motion.
{Ormus}
In order to achieve a return to Lost Jerusalem, Ormus tried to restore the Relics of God to their control. Pope Sergius XVII loudly proclaimed the legitimacy of their possession of the Zohar and Omega, and tried to reign over the world.
The ones who prevented their reckless actions were the Testaments. In truth, neither the Zohar nor Omega were the property of Ormus, because the one who held legitimate dominion over them was Wilhelm himself. Ormus was merely a tool for collecting them.
{Wilhelm's Expectations}
The network of humanity's thoughts; the wishes of the world-- the fear, the joy, the hatred, the anger, the desire, the ambition, the dread, the hostility, and the love of countless consciousnesses. Wilhelm watches the flow of all those things and comes to know about the time called "now". To know the flow of human consciousness that exists in the lower domain is to know truth in the imaginary number domain, and because the imaginary domain exerts an effect on the real number domain, it leads to knowing everything of the lower domain.
Wilhelm has continued to watch the time called "now" since the beginning of the universe, and he discovers, as a giant flow, the next time that will come after now. In order to create a flow that is sent back to the beginning of time which will once again be here, but without being introduced into the flow that arrives at the time of destruction that is over there, he gently touches the network of countless thoughts and applies an interference that is ever-so-slight, if seen from the scale of the entire universe.
Through that repetition, he spends millennia trying to produce a flow towards Eternal Recurrence. All the while watching the fluctuating, fleeting thoughts of Man.

This outlines the relationships of people in the Lower Domain up until just before Eternal Recurrence was prevented. With Wilhelm in the center, and the Testaments that had become imaginary-domain existences as an axis, various people form complicated relationships. The sentiments of so many people fold and overlap, and countless lives and deaths mix together, and with an unending number of stories being threaded, time continues to be spun towards just one ending. That very thing was Wilhelm's aim.

{The Rise of New Organizations}
Dimitri Yuriev, whose figure had vanished from the forefront of the stage of history, revived by using the body of the Kukai Foundation's Representative Director, Gaignun Kukai. And by doing so, he conspired with the parliament's Salvator Faction, reemerged into the Federation Government, and began to strong-arm them.
Also, the anti-UMN organization Scientia, via contact with Shion who had resigned from Vector, came into deep contact with the darkness spreading in back of the UMN.
The movement of these things was also not unconnected to Wilhelm.
{Testament}
Following the instruction of Wilhelm, the Testaments acted to implement Eternal Recurrence. They acted so that certain people would incite the awakening of the Vessels of Anima; so that certain people would incite the awakening of Maria; and so that certain people would eliminate those who would interfere [iffy]
At the heart of those actions were each one's own strong thought. They selected by their own will, not the commanded action itself, but a situation that was gained as a result of it, and carried it out as their own desire. By that meaning, the same as the other people, these men also were made to dance by way of Wilhelm's expectation.
{Wilhelm's Intention}
Even Wilhelm, the one behind everything, loses all memory by Eternal Recurrence.
Wilhelm, too, at the same time that Eternal Recurrence is achieved, forgets everything, and returns to an original state. He returns to a state where the meaning of his own existence, the reason, the purpose, the role-- all of it is unknown. It is the same as with all humans who worry about and grope for the meaning of their birth and the reason they live.
By gazing at the human consciousness that streams through the Compass of Order, he comes to understand the world. By gazing at the human hearts that live in the world and by understanding the world that surrounds himself, he comes to discover what he himself can do. And then, realizing that the world is drawing near to the crisis of collapse, in order to avoid it, he considers what can be done. What could he do? What should he do? What would he do?
Although many people seek a glorious dream during their short lifetimes, wish for a life that is full of glitz, and utilize their surroundings to gain economic strength and authority, Wilhelm acted thinking only to save the world from crisis.
His actions of forming the root of every organization and spinning society and history from behind the scenes were completely altruistic.
For thousands of years of history, many people's quiet everyday lives had to change into blood-smeared nightmares. Politics were spun; economics was controlled, and civilization was utilized. There was even so much hateful and cursed words raised that it was incalculable.
And Wilhelm, clearly conscious of the aim for Eternal Recurrence, recognizes that history such as this will once again repeat. In order to repeat a blood-smeared history, history will continue to be stained in blood. Because, if the world that wants to cover its eyes is not affirmed, the very world itself will completely vanish.
Only someone who possesses an unwavering resolve is able to accomplish that; it was a superhuman choice. That blood-stained choice cannot be judged by such things as the laws that differ according to nation, nor by morals that change according to era, nor by the standard of values that sway within an individual heart; it was something beyond good and evil. Therefore, he couldn't speak his own thoughts. That's because wishing for understanding is a desire for oneself to be given acceptance. He resigned even desire such as that. It was only just to save the world from the threat of annihilation.
