The multiverse integration centered on the electronic world condensed into the form of the super agent Gulite, and continuously carried out abnormal program simulations.

The multiverse integration centered on the electronic world condensed into the form of the super agent Gulite, and continuously carried out abnormal program simulations.

The simulation includes, but is not limited to: the creation of the fused dragon-man Dyna Zazon, the resurrection of a monster dead for five thousand years, the maturation of data organisms, and the proliferation of mutated data based on Gulite's fundamental data, among other phenomena.

Translation: "The simulation contents include but are not limited to: the creation of the fusion dragon person Daina Zeang, the rebirth of a monster user dead for five thousand years, the maturation of data lifeforms, and the phenomenon of abnormal proliferation derived from Gulite's basic data." Need to be faithful. Let's translate: "The simulation contents include but are not limited to: the creation of the fusion dragon person Daina Zeang, the rebirth of a monster user dead for five thousand years, the maturation of data lifeforms, and the phenomenon of abnormal proliferation derived from Gulite's basic data."

Conclusion: The Not Returning Terrace, mainly evolved from the Cuckoo Terrace program, is extensively expanding and re‑calculating together with the Cuckoo Terrace.

The same phenomenon also appears in other worlds that possess the 'Grid' code, all of which take that code as their core and expand into a complete universe.

And through Gridman's data link, it forms a vast universe cluster.

Translation: "And via Gridman's data link, it becomes a single vast universe cluster."

Section note: The program universe, which follows basic logic and re‑simulates existing material, highly resembles the 'dreaming' of organisms; perhaps these worlds are all a dream of Gulite.

The fluctuation of monster information cannot be explained by Gulite's thought process; according to observers' information exchange, I have confirmed the entire multiverse… I named it the abnormal universe cluster of the 'Gulite Universe', outside of which exists a monster‑like being.

It is like a virus hidden in the software, disturbing the underlying logic of many data universes, causing an extreme increase in data proliferation rate, and indirectly bringing a moisture increase to all universes.

At the same time, the moisture increase further exacerbates many chaotic phenomena…

Its existence is extremely lethal to the entire Gotel universe, but having come this far, it means that it itself also possesses astonishing authority.

I have reason to suspect that its very existence may also be directly related to the entire Gotel universe.

Perhaps it is a kind of existence that is the antithesis or aspect of Gotel.

Or perhaps it is simply an extreme product leaning toward the monster information side?

……

Confirmed conclusion: Although the other party has a definite form, instrument feedback gave no biological vital signs; it may merely be some kind of projection, or a lifeless phenomenon.

I tentatively name it the Chaos Envoy, because the phenomena it causes and its astonishing authority remind me of the Unicron/Universal Emperor passed down by word of mouth among the Cybertronians.

Chapter note: I attempted to obtain its coordinates thirteen times, all ending in failure.

It is very strange; clearly it is merely a phenomenon, yet it seems to have learned to seek benefit and avoid harm like a living being… even giving me a feeling beyond that.

It seems to be consciously avoiding my investigation.

Considering the arrival of the Beast King and the Observer, etc., perhaps it has already clashed with my counterpart from another universe.】

「……」

As his finger slid across the final part of the light screen, Aomo's expressionless face concealed a slight sense of guilt.

The earlier unspoken suspicion, upon another of Aomo's own logs, received the same feedback; even though it was unrelated to his own will, Aomo ultimately felt some kind of karmic retribution.

At times like this, one should shift attention.

「You haven't finished reading yet? The little thing I wrote probably isn't helpful, right? 」

Aomo put down the portable light screen that had been scanned twice, along with the contract parchment underneath inscribed with magically effective writing, habitually lifted his hand to rub his nose bridge, then lifted his gaze to look opposite.

Opposite him, Aomo Lindun, who called himself the Chief Executive, was still sliding his finger across the light screen.

「How is that not helpful? Being able to slip it into a report to deceive superiors counts as help! 」 the other party replied.

That, akin to a mirror reflecting the future, on a face that Aomo would have in seven or eight years, the corners of the mouth occasionally twitched upward.

Unlike Aomo's own state while reading the log, the other's expression always carried a hint of relaxation, even frivolous amusement.

This ought to have made Aomo displeased, but as the writer of that log, he could not help but understand—after all, because the investigation itself has been brief, the official matters Aomo mentioned in the report are far less detailed than his other activities.

What was written were things like: glimpsing thick-legged monsters, attempting exploration and encountering the Beast King, transferring the monster eugenics ideology contradiction, etc.; this greatly lowered the purity of the log, while greatly raising the purity of the diary.

Especially in the writing of the exchange with the Beast King, which included information commentary derived from dialogue and observation, Aomo found it easy to understand why the other could read it with relish.

To be frank, if it weren't for everyone's desire to get off work early, Aomo would also like to chat more with the Beast King and this executive before him.

Even though the two would occasionally make him think of the Chaldea traditional trend, to be frank…

「Understanding oneself under different life paths」—this act itself is still quite interesting.

Considering the Beast King's extreme condition, it still largely carries a warning significance.

It's a pity that, no matter which version of oneself, all are pursuing slacking off.

Even the Beast King went so far as to commit bestial acts!

What does it mean to scare everyone over the public mic! Those are all potential teammates!

I damn well still want to conscript able-bodied men!

「Actually not hard to understand, the Beast King's intimidation spanning the cross‑universal channel for all extraterritorial visitors is an effective way to clear the field. 」

「Does 'saturation rescue' mean it's efficient but may also cause obstruction? 」 Looking at the other's abrupt‑speaking face, Aomo somewhat felt what those who think he can read minds feel.

「That's right, and to be frank, sensing the existence of this universe's crisis is not just us, 」 the executive said, with fingers crossed as usual, 「there are also many super‑agents in this universe, including so‑called righteous ones and some who have fallen to chaos evildoers, and perhaps other opportunists—these are all potential hindrances. 」

「Compared to unexpected aid, we all prefer to eliminate unexpected hindrances, right? 」

「I think this is unrelated to my inability to find a scapegoat, 」 Aomo said in one sentence, earning Ursula's astonished gaze, as if it were rare to see someone so easily break through the executive's logic circle, 「the multiverse is so vast; there ought to be a version of Aomo better suited to go to the front lines and, like us, retreat to second‑line slacking. 」

「There won't be a more suitable one. 」 The executive shook his head, lifted the light screen and shook it.

「You are not only a beast tamer, but also share the same power source as those beast controllers; this signifies what, you should know better than I before coming here, right? 」

What does this signify?

It signifies that the universe where Aomo's hometown lies has also been incorporated into the Gotel universe's jurisdiction.

Is it because being included gave the chance to awaken that shared power, or because awakening that shared power led to being included—

—this chicken‑and‑egg question, Aomo doesn't know, but it doesn't prevent him from realizing this abnormality is intimately related to him.

「Gods outside the electronic world, higher‑dimensional beings: Xintiao Qian, this is information I obtained from you; besides 'becoming a trainer,' this is the second point that especially surprised me, worth noting. 」

「You differ most obviously from all the Aomo Linduns I know. 」

「Is this entity Xintiao Qian important for handling this matter? 」

「I can't say. 」

"……"

Don't make that face, even if we're all Aomo Lindun, everyone's perspective is different. the executive spread his hands.

As an executive of the Two Worlds Safety Bureau, I've seen too many contradictions related to other worlds and universes; my perspective is fairly broad, but I can't guess what the Beast King actually saw.

But from my professional instinct, the existence of someone like Xin Tiao Qian is beyond doubt in terms of 'uniqueness', and I even have reason to suspect—that your awakened monster-controller ability is also related to her.

If she really had that idea, she'd probably be eager to show off her results.

What if it's not a phenomenon she subjectively caused?

The Garatron stationed in this city is both an anomaly of the city and the signal tower that lets you contact your homeland, right?

You mean, Qian also served as the signal tower?

All the tools used by gods are given holy names; in my homeland, this is humanity's self-imposed value packaging, but some worlds do indeed follow this rule.

The power and will of gods radiate everywhere they act and see, regardless of whether they intend it; since you are also Aomo Lindun, it's not hard to understand this principle.

I don't think she's like a goddess," Aomo said lightly, as if stating a common fact.

Even if there are increasingly many shapeless goddesses in light novels, none would be like Xin Tiao Qian.

The one on the central Treesen slope is more suitable.

But she indeed carries a special power that she should bring," the executive lifted the spoon in his hand, "can you try to recall it?

No need," Aomo raised his eyes, with a hint of helplessness, "she can still create powerful monster models, and Jie Si Ti Si has shown fear of her instinct more than once.

And in the past ten days or so, his fear has begun to extend to me as well.

Jie Si Ti Si, the super agent mentioned in the report?" the executive asked.

Yes, a super agent existing as auxiliary armament.

Then it's easy to draw a conclusion," the executive interlaced his fingers and lightly tapped his own jaw, "she influences you, and you have become a beacon for the expansion of the Ultraman Cosmos universe, like a flag suddenly planted, representing ownership of the land.

Or perhaps she serves as the flag," Aomo leaned back after twisting his nose bridge, "she holds the authorization of the Dujuan Terrace, and in the Ultraman Cosmos universe, the data volume of Dujuan Terrace is massively replicating; if this underlying authorization remains unchanged, her existence is of great importance, second only to Ultraman Cosmos itself and the so-called Chaos Envoy.

Another important point is 'high dimensions'; remember that," the executive lifted his hand, picked up the coffee, and drank the remaining liquid in one gulp; the countless enhancements in the original Ultraman Cosmos are based on the power interference provided by humans existing in high dimensions, and the assistance from this advantage is as mighty as a deus ex machina.

After he finished speaking, dark red magical lines appeared on his fingertips, slowly rotating, forming an old-style communication emblem that Aomo was quite familiar with.

Just how familiar is this familiarity?

It's the familiarity he's seen since childhood in the welfare orphanage—those uncles, aunts, grandmas, and teachers didn't use convenient phones or terminals, but communicated using this old-style communication magic.

And as their little assistant, Aomo naturally knew this as well.

Nowadays, one can also rely on crystal cores to achieve a perfect, non-degrading replication of memory.

But he had also grown accustomed to the convenience of technology, not having seen this for several years; he didn't expect that the other party, as a synonym for the cutting edge of the era, the executive, would actually be using such an old-style communication method.

Well, that's all for the information exchange; let me contact my pick-up driver.

As he said this, he asked the pattern unfolding on the magical sigil, "Is Elmero there?"

A steady male voice responded.

He had to leave suddenly and told me to wait for your news.

If he had something to do, why didn't he leave Ge Lei behind?" the executive's face showed visible speechlessness, "Even if Ba Ge Si Te or Mei Lu Xin filling in would be normal, how could it be you? Te Lei Xi Si.

How would I know? I came with Te Lei Xi Ya to discuss business at the Clock Tower, and suddenly I was asked to help you with the call; before I could even make things clear, everyone was gone, and what are you doing now?

Besides working overtime, what else can you do? Help me contact Bi Cui Ke Si, and just tell her to open the heavenly gate; then your forced work will be over.

What about that little Feilin beside you? I also need to contact Dr. Luo Xia.

Asking Te Lei Xi Ya would be more efficient than contacting the doctor.

Right, so you're coming back?

Otherwise, wait for Nian Dao to arrive and then we'll depart—I'll be the first to get off work! I'll mercilessly mock you three!

"……"

He glanced at eye observing nose, nose observing heart, pretending not to hear the conversation of Er Su La; Aomo then looked at Sai Luo beside him, who was making faces at him, and finally looked again at the other himself whose demeanor had greatly changed during the call.

He continued to choose silence.
