A crystal sac located higher in the specimen library is slowly lighting up with star-like brilliance.
The figure hanging upside down within is extraordinarily tall, surrounded by countless tiny points of light, resembling a compressed star domain.
Whenever he makes a slight movement, those points of light rearrange to form different constellations.
"It seems, everyone has felt that... subtle summoning."
His voice is like the harmonious melody of celestial motions, carrying the deep resonance of countless ages.
As he speaks, a subtle resonance fills the space of the entire specimen library, as if the universe itself is listening closely.
This is Oracle Perust, active in the early Third Era, the last Great Wizard to master complete stellar Magic.
His void remains can sense the most minute changes in the cosmos, even predicting the destiny paths of distant galaxies.
"Could this be a sign of the reboot...?" In Perust’s star domain, certain stars begin to flicker unusually:
"I’ve already sensed the ripples in the time stream; those great beings... are indeed planning something."
As his words fall, more ancient entities that had never participated in discussion begin to awaken.
Record Officer Gould’s chamber emits a steady blue light.
His void remains is a moving library, with countless scrolls endlessly rotating around the core consciousness, each recording the accumulation of his lifetime knowledge.
The content of these books updates automatically as needed, even recording events that have yet to occur.
"According to my historical data analysis..."
Gould’s voice is very hoarse, carrying the meticulousness and caution peculiar to a legendary Historian:
"The current level of civilization development is far from reaching the Critical Point for a reboot. Such premature warning signals are extremely rare in History."
Among the scrolls revolving around the Great Wizard, several open automatically, displaying densely packed data analysis:
"Though the Conquest policy is radical, compared with truly catastrophic events in History, its scale and impact are relatively limited.
Cassandra’s degree of Hybrid is also within controllable range, not enough to trigger a civilization-level collapse."
The analysis from experts brings the other hanging figures into deep contemplation.
If even Gould, an expert in History, cannot explain the current situation,
then the complexity of the matter might be beyond everyone’s imagination.
"Let’s first review History."
Then, Record Officer Gould recounts "The Eleventh Reboot—the Knowledge Cancer Era":
"The scholars obsessed with absolute knowledge..." His scrolls begin to display records of that era:
"created the ’Net of Omniscience’, attempting to record and analyze all information."
"Initially, it indeed brought unprecedented prosperity, but the system began producing ’knowledge pollution’—false information mixed with real knowledge, plunging the entire civilization into Cognitive Chaos."
Gould’s voice turns melancholic:
"People forgot what was real, what was false. Language lost its communicative function, civilization self-destructed amidst complete chaos."
Finally, "Serpent of Light" Rafa mentioned a more recent disaster:
"The Sixteenth Reboot—the Abyssal Infestation Era."
His multiple time fragments start to overlap, revealing that blood-soaked period.
In those overlapping images, one can witness the terrifying spectacle of Abyssal Power at its peak.
"Twenty-five Supreme Apostles existed simultaneously, even the ’Mother’ awoke..."
Rafa’s time fragments simultaneously display complex expressions—reverence, fear, and an unspeakable sense of awe.
"But just as the Abyss was about to entirely devour reality, the ’Eternal Hunting’ emerged.
That entity mastered three fundamentally different power systems simultaneously, possessing absolute counter abilities against the Abyss..."
In the image, a blurred figure walks alone under the blood-red sky, leaving numerous Abyssal Creatures falling like cut wheat in his path.
"Eight Supreme Apostles died by his hand, the Abyss system was nearly completely cleansed, even the ’Mother’ was forced to re-enter slumber..."
Rafa’s voice grows complex and conflicted:
"But ultimately, his tri-fold power system created fatal conflicts, disintegrating under the ’Mother’s’ final blow.
That reboot was passive, as the final showdown between the Abyss and Eternal Hunting nearly tore apart the entire reality structure."
With these historical recountings, the atmosphere in the specimen library becomes extraordinarily heavy.
These true apocalyptic scenes deeply shock every hanging figure present.
Even for such wise and experienced ancient entities like them, the scale and destructive force of those disasters remain chilling.
"Compared to these..." Curse Master Mondragon said slowly with his distorted voice, carrying a tone of dismissiveness:
"Cassandra’s mad conquest, even the entire civilization’s route controversy, can only be considered... insignificant ripples."
"Indeed." Gould agrees, with his surrounding scrolls displaying current data analysis:
"The Conquest Faction, though aggressive, still faces notable influence from traditional factions; the Abyss remains active, but far from out of control; overall stability is still within acceptable range."
He pauses, his voice tinged with confusion:
"But this is precisely the most puzzling thing. If the current situation is indeed so stable, then how does one explain this collective warning phenomenon?"
The discussion begins to grow increasingly heated, with various speculations and analyses intertwining within the specimen library.
