Listening to the Restarters ramble on, the Void Returners felt there was still some sense to it—provided the Great Evolution Civilization's deductions were correct.
"We understand the greater good, of course." The Void Returners fell silent for a long while, seeming rather emotional. "Now that you mention it, the universe becoming this battered and broken is indeed partly the responsibility of our two civilizations, but the greatest responsibility still lies with The One Who Severed Microscopic Infinity."
"Mm, we also looked over the Great Evolution Civilization's data from measuring the universe. Using other universes for experiments—your proposal is not bad either. If the Multiverse is real, then there must also be universes unsuitable for the birth of life. But since this region has already become like this, don't you think it would be a pity to simply leave it alone?"
Hearing the Void Returners say this, the Restarters sensed that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next moment, the Void Returners continued, "Why do we live in Four-Dimensional Space? In principle, all eleven dimensions can exist, so why is it specifically the macroscopic world of four dimensions? This question remains a mystery to us. Presumably, the answer you, who excel in dimensions, would give is merely 'the mechanism of the Big Bang itself,' but what exactly is its essence?"
"In our theory, the universe began in perfect symmetry. All higher dimensions were tightly curled up at the Planck Scale, and what prevented the universe from expanding was string looped around string, wound tightly around each dimension."
"That shape... was like a compressed coil spring, bound tight by strings so that it could not open. If the strings snapped, the coil would suddenly unfurl and expand."
"In these tiny dimensions, because there was both winding by strings and winding by anti-strings,
