Following the Starforger Artarius out of the space-time rift, Jeming returned once more to the core timeline world.
The scene before him was dramatically different from when he had left.
The enormous mechanical sphere still hovered above the temple altar, but the energy conduits that had been frantically flickering on its surface had now returned to a stable state.
The entire sphere emitted a somewhat rigid yet extraordinarily stable blue-white glow.
The oppressive sense of will that had once filled the space had vanished without a trace, leaving only the deep hum unique to the operation of massive machinery.
Artarius stood in front of the sphere, his gray robe fluttering, and said to Jeming from the side: "The 'noise' inside has been cleaned out. The chaotic consciousness aggregation with strong bias has been erased, leaving only the underlying logical protocols necessary to maintain the core functions of the Time Paradox Generator."
