Flames swallowed everything.
The earth shook like a blanket, the ground shattered, and the upheaval caused by countless exploding pipelines engulfed a third of the upper district.
A tongue of flame erupted from a crack in the ground, shooting straight toward Central Headquarters.
Like a shark charging at its prey from beneath the sea.
Bringing destruction.
Just like that, unprecedented fireworks rose from the earth, illuminating everything once more like a second sun, lavishly scattering dust, rubble, shattered steel, and mangled corpses.
The drumbeat of destruction drew closer, shaking everything.
Within the shadowy hall, amid countless flashing red lights, the solution containing the Giant Brain boiled. Under the barrage of alarms and reports of losses and damage, it was on the verge of crashing.
And behind the brain, upon five chains floating in the air.
The reborn chains of the Foundation of Order wailed.
Once again, a deep crack split open...
Error! Error! Error!
Amid countless alarms, report after report kept appearing.
The Giant Brain operated at high speed, countless parallel trains of thought surging within it as it continuously reorganized the city's communications, control, and every changing variable.
"Stop!"
Beneath the Giant Brain, The Watcher convulsed in his wheelchair, his pupils bloodshot. He could no longer bear the terrifying computational load as he roared hoarsely, "Stop at once! Immediately!"
But no one answered. He struggled and shouted, trying to tear out the cables, but it was already too late.
The Giant Brain did not respond.
It was thinking.
It drew upon every resource, calculating models of chaos, simulating every action of The Tuner, projecting countless future changes, and finally arriving at its ultimate conclusion.
"Stop it!!!"
The Watcher convulsed in his wheelchair and roared hoarsely.
At that instant, the final result of the calculation appeared within the Giant Brain.
