Was this the third puzzle piece after [Virtualization] and [Consciousness Transformation]?
Hearing him mutter that to himself over the communications channel, the girl beside him inexplicably looked up at Su Wen.
But her attention was immediately seized by the breathtaking structure of the Artificial Satellite Ifasta rushing toward them.
Supported by Su Wen's formidable physical abilities, he carried the little girl as they descended at high speed.
Protected within his barrier, Chie leaped with him from the highest tower down toward the lowest level.
A gigantic dome structure hung beneath the Artificial Satellite "Ifasta," its surface covered in silver armor etched with honeycomb-like nanostructures.
Under the glow of deep-blue plasma, it resembled the spine of some sleeping behemoth.
When the swarm of probes Caroline had released ahead of them pierced the atmosphere, the seemingly rigid geometric grooves suddenly rippled.
It was a sign that the entire planet's Data Stream was awakening.
Having detected an abnormal intrusion,
this Artificial Satellite—perhaps better described as the "Revivers' headquarters"—was certainly not as vulnerable as the Ginza Line or Deep Tokyo.
Countless faint lights flashed across its massive metal framework and reflective panels, pulsing as though they were breathing.
Those faint lights formed an entire lower architectural complex composed of twelve nested circular supports.
Every ring was fitted with fiber-optic bundles resembling living muscle tissue.
These fibers were not static conduits.
Like the neural synapses of a living organism, they constantly reorganized and divided.
Even without looking from afar,
Ifasta now resembled a colossal glowing jellyfish.
Yet those conduits, which still moved exceedingly slowly in Su Wen's eyes, could not hinder their descent in the slightest.
"What a magnificent wonder of life.
