The red light illuminated part of the area, helping Ronan see order amid the chaos. At the very least, he could try to understand what the internal conflict looked like within the chaotic fog that permeated the entire Consciousness Level.
The Dark Heavy Chains and Demon Runes—and, naturally, Ronan himself—were situated at the heart of the chaotic fog. Following the image-based rules of the "Sun Wheel Absolute Prison," they created a rudimentary imitation—or rather, they actively guided the power of the Sun Wheel Absolute Prison across space to resist the Karmic Poison Contamination.
Whether Ronan had done it deliberately or in a daze, it was already an established fact. And with Ronan's level of control and analytical ability, it was hardly possible for him to properly wield the power of the Sun Wheel Absolute Prison—especially that roaring Information Torrent—and clear everything away in one stroke.
Yet amid the conflict within the chaotic fog, a strange sensation gradually arose.
That filthy "curtain," seemingly rooted in Ronan's memories, was repeatedly washed back and forth by the Information Torrent of the Sun Wheel Absolute Prison, then twisted by an even stronger force of distortion. It swayed and churned in the cleansing current. Though it still looked the same, the longer he watched it, the more familiar it became.
Ronan repeated that familiarity again and again, like staring at a word dozens or hundreds of times until it suddenly became unfamiliar.
In reality, this was a phenomenon known as semantic satiation. After receiving the same continuous stimulus, the brain developed neural fatigue and entered an inhibited state.
Ronan's current situation was much the same. Under the battering of the violent Information Torrent, his brain nerves were not merely tired—they were utterly overworked. The stimulus source centered on the Karmic Poison Contamination struck him continuously.
