Silkall continued explaining how the Quantum Star Chain functioned.
Using Dominion Logic, I created informational locks that restrict thought.
These locks ensure that every intelligent lifeform connected to the Quantum Star Chain is absolutely loyal to me.
At the same time, I redirect excess chaotic thoughts away from the network so they do not interfere with my own thinking.
And the place those chaotic thoughts are redirected to...
You actually know it.
Then she spoke a name Lin Yi did not expect.
Dekkara of Kasbelniat VIII.
Lin Yi blinked.
That guy is connected to you?
Silkall nodded.
In a sense.
He was an experimental failure from Silkall's era.
Back then, Silkall attempted something ambitious.
To create a Complete Path Walker.
A being capable of holding all Path energies simultaneously.
But the experiment failed.
Even five Paths were too much.
Because as a fictional lifeform, he could not carry any more.
Lin Yi frowned.
Five Paths?
Silkall smiled.
You missed one.
It was Enigmata.
She continued.
He was a being fabricated by Silkall using methods similar to the Fictionologists.
A person who technically does not exist.
But who was born with the Path energy of Enigmata.
Then she listed the Paths within him.
Enigmata — because he was a fabricated existenceOrder — created through strict constraintsPreservation — false memories forming a protective identityEquilibrium — delicate balancing of forcesErudition — Silkall's interference and design
Thus, a being possessing five Paths simultaneously was born.
Then she added,
With the help of a Stellaron, he temporarily reached six overlapping Path powers.
But the Stellaron also broke the equilibrium.
So the experiment collapsed.
She called it unfortunate.
But Lin Yi saw only naked pride on her face.
Lin Yi clapped politely.
Amazing technique, Silkall.
If you tried again today, how many Paths could you combine?
Could it be mass-produced?
Lin Yi was already thinking strategically.
A factory for high-level warriors...
Silkall shook her head.
I don't know.
Without trying again, everything is speculation.
But mass production?
Forget it.
Maintaining balance between Path energies is incredibly difficult.
Each additional Path increases complexity exponentially.
Even experimenting on a single individual is exhausting.
She paused.
This topic can be discussed later.
Then she returned to Dekkara.
I implanted false memories into him.
And repurposed the failed experiment.
I gave him fake glory.
A fake mission.
He was assigned to guard the underground insects.
And he also served as a dumping ground for chaotic thoughts from the Quantum Star Chain.
With Order constraining him...
He would not go insane.
A perfect tool.
Lin Yi immediately connected the dots.
So...
The restraints of Order broke.
The chaotic thoughts overwhelmed his false memories.
The Destruction Stellaron disrupted equilibrium.
And the conflict between reality and illusion drove him insane.
Silkall nodded.
Lin Yi continued,
That means the tower on Kasbelniat VIII connects two places.
One side leads underground to your insect colony.
The other side leads to Dekkara.
Everything suddenly made sense.
Lin Yi felt strangely relieved.
Now the Kasbelniat VIII mystery had only one question left.
Why had the Stellaron Hunters insisted he must appear in Penacony?
According to Silkall's explanation, Dekkara was not that important.
So why did Elio's script require it?
Lin Yi wondered whether the future Penacony arc would become completely different.
He sighed.
Sunday... Gallagher...
Can you two hurry up?
How does a Harmony Festival take this long?
Then he asked another question.
Silkall, do you know why the Stellaron Hunters want to send Dekkara to Penacony?
Silkall shrugged.
I don't know.
Lin Yi sighed again.
If even the creator did not know...
Then only Elio knew the truth.
He muttered,
That cat keeps explaining only half of everything.
One day I'm going to catch Elio and neuter him.
Then Lin Yi asked,
What about Dekkara's so-called causality-based guaranteed hit ability?
Silkall tilted her head.
Causality?
Then she understood.
Oh. That.
That is not really causality.
It is only quantum probability correction.
She explained further.
He simply eliminates all other possible outcomes.
If only one possibility remains...
Then that result becomes inevitable.
His ability uses only a tiny fraction of the Quantum Star Chain.
And his intelligence is insufficient to manipulate the possibilities of others.
He can only adjust his own probability state.
That is why his guaranteed hit is actually a very clumsy pseudo-guaranteed hit.
Lin Yi nodded.
Everything now made sense.
But it also revealed something else.
Silkall's true combat potential might be terrifying.
Because this technique depended entirely on:
Extreme intelligenceMassive computational power
If Silkall used it personally, she could theoretically:
Remove unwanted possibilitiesEliminate quantum interferenceDirectly arrive at the desired result
Lin Yi returned to the main topic.
So you want me to join the Quantum Star Chain?
Silkall shook her head.
Not exactly.
What I propose is removing the restrictions of Dominion Logic.
And giving you equal authority.
So within the Quantum Star Chain...
You and I will share identical control permissions.
That is the only way to establish trust.
Lin Yi looked surprised.
You're that generous?
Even from your description alone, it's obvious your creation is incredibly powerful.
Silkall replied calmly.
I am the one asking for help.
So naturally, I must offer more.
And besides...
You would never join the Quantum Star Chain otherwise.
Lin Yi finished the sentence for her.
Because no genius wants to be controlled.
Silkall nodded.
But there is more.
You may be underestimating the consequences.
When I say we will become one...
I mean it literally.
If you join...
Your achievements and mine will no longer be separate.
Lin Yi understood the situation perfectly now.
He would gain:
An alliance with a Genius Society memberAccess to the Quantum Star ChainMassive computational intelligence
And the cost?
Only sharing inspiration.
Which, for Lin Yi...
was essentially free.
Because his real limitation had never been intelligence.
It had always been:
TimeEnergyExecution capacity
