Chapter 916

"I received an invitation, using Lupute's resurrection as beeswax." Bo'erka's voice kept its distance, yet it seemed as if she could put them to death at any moment, "... as bait with the fifth genius joining your ridiculous project."

"So, I have come. But not to join you..."

One person's death became the fuse of the imperial war. A variable's oversight, the anti-organic virus pushed the scholastic war to the brink of collapse. A particle's change, the explosion obliterated the inspiration that could change the world. As long as a tiny variable is applied, the future will be completely different, the face of the universe will be utterly transformed, and the galaxies will become the chaotic soup in the creator's great pot.

If knowledge outside the circle would destroy a certain future, then let it not appear anymore. Before the future model was led toward the unknowable, a genius stood in the darkness, pushing down the first bone stele... a domino forged from the genius's bones.

"I have come to kill all the chaotic possibilities you would bring."

—

Original God.

"Ahhh I won't look, I won't look, I won't look, I won't look!"

Funina covered her eyes and shook her head desperately.

"If I keep looking, Bo'erka might come find me at night!! I said beforehand, I didn't mean to pry into her footsteps! I also didn't know that was her privacy!"

"I will stay here tonight!"

As she spoke, Funina forcefully patted the floor of the theater troupe on the table, making a "dong dong" sound, and three seafood summoning objects surrounded her like sentinels.

Due to the experience of teasing cats in the middle of the night in Fontaine Court and then suddenly being threatened with assassination by a mysterious person, Funina naturally fears women who can appear without anyone's knowledge.

"It's all right, Funina, Bo'erka already said she won't act against us." Naweiya gently brushed Funina's hand away and helped her back onto the chair, "Feel free to look, Bo'erka will only act against those who create chaotic variables in the 【Moment】 that affects the erudite venerable's deduction."

"Huh?"

"Geniuses attract outside knowledge, and outside knowledge destroys a certain future—that is Bo'erka's true purpose in killing geniuses. In other words, as long as we do not touch outside knowledge, it has no effect on us."

In fact, let alone outside knowledge, the Fontaine Academy, representing Fontaine's highest institute of learning, currently has such knowledge reserves that it probably doesn't even understand internal matters, let alone external ones. Even if they were to come into contact with outside knowledge, they would likely be like Putewiya—staring with big eyes, unable to understand a single word.

However, Putewiya at least can later calculate the solitary wave problem from the formulas in her mind, while they… hehe, Bo'erka probably thinks even glancing at them is a waste of time.

"Moreover, Bo'erka's target is now clear: it's Heita lady." Keluolinde spoke expressionlessly, "Unless Heita lady is willing to give up her investigation of outside knowledge... otherwise, she is likely to meet more misfortune than fortune."

"But Heita lady is, after all, an envoy, and not so easy to capture, right?" Naweiya would actually be delighted to witness the two geniuses' "duel of laws", and she even has a vague premonition that if they really fought, Bo'erka would definitely lose.

Heita is also a genius, and moreover a genius among geniuses; such people usually have an innate arrogance. If they really go head-to-head, Heita will certainly not be intimidated, especially since she still has two genius assistants behind her. Everyone is a genius, none are easy to deal with, and even in a three-on-one justice scenario, the advantage clearly lies with Heita.

"I don't think so." Keluolinde shook her head in denial, "You haven't noticed? From the moment Bo'erka appeared, the simulated universe has already been disconnected from Luosigumu... although on the surface Heita lady has two genius assistants, but once Luosigumu reconnects, the situation may not be optimistic."

"Moreover, I believe we should still give some respect to this genius who first joined the genius club... after all, her track record lies here, and she is absolutely not to be underestimated."

"Heita found it very interesting, even a smile curled at the corner of her mouth: 'Regarding the Silent Lord's one-track pursuit of killing geniuses, we few have guessed a thousand reasons... out of jealousy? For power? For plundering knowledge? We never thought of this—extinguishing the possibility of chaos? Your criminal motive is truly unique.'"

"You, killing geniuses, attempting to limit the growth of universal knowledge, are you trying to turn the entire universe into your own omniscient domain?"

Xing also couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that the behind-the-scenes of the scholastic war is also like that?"

The Silent Lord remained silent, unwilling to respond to their accusations.

A butterfly flaps its wings, and even if a world hundreds of light-years away is destroyed because of it, the butterfly knows nothing of it, for it is merely flapping its wings. To correct deviating variables in an experiment and avoid interference from unknown information, this is what every scholar does.

"If a thought experiment confines the universe within the circle, it would become a sinner. Then, for anchoring the universe to the 【Moment】 and confining all wisdom within the 【Wisdom】 of Him, how should He be judged?" Bo'erka was not asking; she was merely talking to herself.

Heita's expression suddenly stiffened; Xing rarely saw from her face an expression like "shocked": "Could it be… you are carrying out His orders?! No, this does not conform to His nature of 【Seeking Knowledge}!"

"Have you ever considered that 【Perfect Calculation】 is also a form of seeking knowledge—no one can defy His calculation." Bo'erka said calmly.

"If I think through all the scepters left by Lupute II, just like Putewiya... would I create a knowledge singularity? I mean, since He is as you say, wanting to confine the universe in perfect shackles, why bother allowing the emperor to create those 【Celestial Neuron】 for thought... those scepters, allowing him to step out of the knowledge circle?"

"..."

Bo'erka fell silent—was she pondering Heita's question? Or merely thinking, how to interestingly kill them?

After a long while, Bo'erka lifted her head, her obscure face seemingly smiling: "Well asked, you are more perceptive than other victims. Human thought is limited to the small skull, while divine thought uses the blinking of Starlight as neuronal discharge... and takes the outcome of our geniuses' contest as the conclusion of thought."

Geniuses, the extension of 【Wisdom】 into reality is the concrete manifestation of Star God's thought.

"He used the 【Moment】 to proclaim the perfect future model. And you, a butterfly specimen that has broken free from an insect pin, by flapping your wings you stir up chaos and the unknown, which will prematurely lead the universe toward the 【End】."

"I will not allow it. I will nail you down one by one in this omniscient domain."

She sighed, as if sighing for the fragile beauty of the butterfly about to be made into a specimen.
