Chapter 443: Deciding on a Plan
Inside the control room, the air seemed frozen. Only the low hum of the equipment and the soft rustle of data refreshing across the light screens filled the silence.
Beyond the porthole, the green plane, tightly wrapped in layers of crimson arrays, floated silently amid the chaos of the Chaotic Void, like an emerald ensnared in a bloodstained spiderweb.
Viola strode quickly to the central control console, her fingers sliding rapidly across the light screen as she called up several real-time monitoring windows.
She turned to face Clark and Benjamin. The last trace of composure she had forced herself to maintain had vanished from her face, replaced by unmistakable gravity and anxiety.
"These are the plane fluctuation data from the past seventy-two standard days." Her voice was more hurried than usual. "Spiritual intensity, energy activity, Plane Barrier oscillation frequency... nearly every indicator has been continuously rising, and the rate of increase is accelerating."
She pointed at one of the graphs, where the line was rising almost vertically. "Look here—the spiritual accumulation index. According to the model Starfall shared before, this index should fluctuate upward within a relatively gentle range until it reaches a critical point and triggers a qualitative transformation. But now... it has already exceeded the safety threshold by forty percent, and it's still accelerating."
She pulled up another three-dimensional model displaying the energy distribution of the Plane Barrier. "The Plane Barrier's stability is declining in tandem. There are seventeen more points of chaotic energy flow, and signs of law conflicts have already appeared in localized areas. More troublesome still..."
She paused, her finger tapping the core of the model. "The chaos level of the internal will fluctuations has increased sharply, and waveforms showing aggressive tendencies are appearing more and more frequently."
