In an instant,
the massive Data Screen immediately displayed an analysis of the gear's metal composition:
"Iridium content reaches 3.7%, a signature element of Weaver technology. We obtained corresponding data in [Deep Tokyo] as well. Grandpa Selen originally envisioned a 'gentle integration of civilizations.' Unfortunately, the Revivers separated from Ifasta did not think the same way.
If Caroline's data was accurate, then these people had most likely already begun reverse-engineering the Mars array's data.
They had broken Sephidolos's backup database into streams of quantum bits and projected them into Tokyo through the underground array.
The Abyssal Contamination carried within the data was eroding the Star Core energy field in the crust surrounding the Tokyo Underground Subway."
The handsome Scholar tapped the contamination spread model displayed on the screen.
"At the current rate of spread, Ifasta, you should be able to calculate it faster than I can.
Within forty-eight hours, Tokyo's defensive mechanisms will be breached. By then, the crustal fault beneath Tokyo Bay will become active again due to Abyssal energy erosion, and the real sinking crisis will arrive.
For now, it is only a projection.
But we do not have that much time. Within four hours, we need to find a way to reach Mars."
Imitating one of Old Seren's old habits, Ifasta rubbed Chie's hair before asking Su Wen,
"You already have a plan, don't you?"
"The Abyss Gate, along with Old Seren's previous arrangements, is the fastest option we can use right now."
Su Wen's gaze fell upon the coordinate parameter column on the blueprint.
"Although the Weaver's quantum projection channel carries Abyssal Contamination, it is essentially a stable interstellar quantum tunneling link.
Let me do it.
I can become this [Voyager]."
At that thought,
he felt a trace of regret.
Not long ago, Angelia had messaged
