But in the middle of his speech, a glass enclosure in some corner of the Projection Relic Space Station quietly shattered.
No one noticed the change.
The Masquerade members merely continued their discussion:
"Explorers.
Regarding the extraction of Ephemeral Energy Crystals from Border Relics, we must proceed cautiously."
The newly joined voice was low and powerful, clearly belonging to a veteran member of the team.
"Ephemeral Energy Crystals are not merely our source of energy; they are also the bridge connecting the relic to the real world.
If extraction proceeds too quickly, it may cause an imbalance in the relic's internal energy and even damage the relic's core figures."
"Core figures of the relic?"
A novice technician asked curiously.
"Yes.
They are the core of that relic.
Deep within the relic, several core figures are locked inside a special space. Their existence is the key to allowing the relic to be projected stably into the real world.
Therefore.
If we wish to project this relic and ensure its stability, they are beings that absolutely cannot be destroyed.
We must ensure that extracting the Ephemeral Energy Crystals does not affect these core figures in any way."
"Then should we adjust our projection strategy to reduce our reliance on Ephemeral Energy Crystals?"
"Resources are war!
Marcel!
Can you stop the American Federation from seizing global shipping routes for fuel and even more resources, or can you stop the Japanese government from dumping nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean?"

They are all too old!
So old that:
They can no longer comprehend how the courage of civilization should be displayed!"
In an instant.
