"If... my Completion Gene ability has intelligence?..." Kolon Novo did not dare say that his Completion Gene was the master of a Source Universe.
He feared that He-El would kill him outright.
He could only beat around the bush, dropping hesitant hints. When he saw that He-El had no reaction, he finally relaxed and looked toward Supervisor Gladys Boye, hoping she could do something to restore his freedom.
"It has intelligence!" Supervisor Gladys Boye was rather surprised. "Among the supervisors of the fifty-two Source Universes, each possesses an ability uniquely suited to handling the operational logic of a Source Universe.
"One supervisor of a Source Universe broke through the shackles of the Completion Gene. His ability was to turn the operational logic of the universe into a pseudo-intelligent life-form. He named it 'Stand-in.' Its ability allowed his 'Stand-in' to merge with the operational logic of a Source Universe and, to a certain extent, control it for a period of time without the Source Universe rejecting its operational logic.
"Unfortunately, his 'Stand-in' had an intelligence roughly equivalent to that of a seven- or eight-year-old human child. Moreover, the time it could remain merged with the operational logic of The Source and Hangzhou was very short."
"Could it be that the ability you gained by breaking through the shackles of the Completion Gene is also a 'Stand-in'?" Supervisor Gladys Boye considered it before saying,
"The genes of the Monitors will not affect the birth of your ability. The genetic configuration of the Completion Gene shackles is intended to ensure that members of the Monitors can grow into beings capable of controlling the operational logic of a Source Universe.
"Therefore, when breaking through the genetic configuration of those shackles, the operational logic of the first Source Universe nearby has a profound influence on
