Chapter 581

After a moment of silence, O5-5 raised his hand and asked:

"If it is truly as you said before, no civilization can build this conceptual weapon without knowing the five-dimensional structure; this is absolutely impossible."

"Indeed, this is a fact." O5-12 responded with a smile, "This is the reason why the twelve rounds of civilization were all wiped out."

"—Its outer defensive barrier is too powerful, so much so that no one can walk away unscathed after catching a glimpse of the whole picture."

"But, if you only study one side at a time, the situation will be very different."

The room fell silent again, and after nearly ten seconds, O5-12 continued to explain.

He raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly curled, and slowly pointed with his left index finger:

"Five dimensions, five sides, five evil tentacles."

"Before us, there were a total of twelve pioneers; six found the ruins, one of them failed, and the remaining five worked together to build it."

"We are the final piece of the puzzle, the thirteenth round of civilization, the sixth side that transcends five."

"This piece will ignite it."

He clenched his fist, speaking with certainty.

"When the created area is large enough to wrap around a planet, or even a galaxy, that existence will not be able to function in this space that macroscopically no longer contains the unknown, and the microscopic world is not enough to affect the macroscopic."

"This is worth a try."

"Facing an existence that constitutes the origin of the universe?" O5-9 looked at him with a strange expression, "This behavior is no different from suicide."

O5-12 thought for a moment and added:

"... You have already seen the results on the side of the ruins, Nine—a space of 'Omniscience,' where the 'Unknown' does not exist."

No one had any more questions.

But no one explicitly supported it either.

Even less did anyone explicitly oppose it.

When the chess player sitting across the chessboard changed from a human to a supreme divinity, the O5 Councilors were no different from mortals.

"Everyone, it is time to admit failure." O5-12 stood up and raised his volume.

Immediately, everyone's gaze was attracted to him and firmly tied to him.

"There is a reason why civilizations in the galaxy are so young; it is the great filter of civilization, cruelly enough unfolding two blood-stained paths before us."

He waved his right fist in small, short movements.

Even if dressed elegantly and nobly, and no matter how difficult it is to associate with force, such an action is enough to give people strength.

"Either repeat the mistakes of other races."

"—Abandon all knowledge and theory, return to the era of drinking blood and eating raw meat once again, and hope that the next round of civilization will be brave enough, strong enough, to defeat the tentacles in the fog and let all things reappear under the sun once again."

"Or become the final piece of the puzzle, start the launch tower that has gathered the hopes of several rounds of civilization, and solve it once and for all."

"Hope so." O5-11 sighed lightly.

O5-12 nodded and looked at O5-1:

"I propose a vote to transport the Fictional Amplifier to the ruins and start the launch tower to invalidate 'Containment-C-2001'."

"The proposal is valid." O5-1 nodded approvingly, "Who is in favor?"

O5-1, O5-2, O5-4, O5-8, O5-11, O5-12 raised their hands.

"Who is opposed?"

O5-6, O5-7 raised their hands.

O5-13 looked at O5-6 and also raised his hand.

O5-1's gaze swept over everyone present and fell back on O5-12:

"O5-3, O5-5, O5-9, O5-10 abstain, 6 to 3 to 4, the proposal is passed."

O5-12: "Let us end all of this."

As the voice fell.

Lines of large black characters appeared on the light screen.

【"Chronos Protocol" has been passed by a majority vote of the Overseer Council and has become an action that can be taken.】

【The activation of the "Chronos Protocol" means that the Foundation's control over "Containment-C-2001" is about to or has already failed, and exceeds the maximum response capability of the Foundation's branch comprehensive facility group.】

【The Foundation will take the maintenance of the survival of civilization as the top priority, and the following procedures should be enabled immediately:】

【"Containment-2000" activated to deal with the possible K-class "Babel World" bewildered situation;】

【Automatic information broadcasting system started, sending a level five threat alert to all branches of the Foundation across the universe and achieving real-time strategic information sharing;】

【All powers of the Strategic Balance Committee regarding the control of weapons of mass destruction are temporarily transferred to the Overseer Council;】

【Memphis Fortress controlled by Site-C-03 immediately executes "Crisis Response Plan-065," closing all external channels;】

【The First, Second, and Third Fleets assemble toward Jarilo-VI, granting full weapon authority to each fleet commander, each ship enters full-power combat state, and launches strikes against any non-friendly intelligent entities;】

【ETD-ω type psychotropic agents stored at Area-12 and Site-C-21 are unlocked, along with aerosol diffusers, and are transported to all large security facilities by any possible means within one hour. All facilities receiving ETD-ω must comply with the V-level extreme biohazard protocol and release them synchronously under the unified command of the management department;】

【Geographic information of security facilities is opened to all employees formally contracted with the Foundation, and all stationed personnel should immediately report to the nearest facility;】

【Foundation contacts Belobog authorities to evacuate residents in high-threat areas;】

【If the situation of "Containment-C-2001" shrouding Jarilo-VI has not been effectively alleviated within 2 days after the implementation of the above measures, the final means will be executed after the number of affirmative votes within the Overseer Council reaches more than one-half.】

【This project aims to move Jarilo-VI residents to artificial planets in batches through existing spaceships, preserving Jarilo-VI humans in an irredeemable K-class situation, without regard for any derivative disasters.】 ===== CHAPTER 583 =====
