Ch. 979A Note on the Previous Chapter

The chapter delves into the strategic landscape of the war between Superbody Star and Star Curtain World, clarifying that Superbody Star has a high probability of winning due to the latter's impending irreversible decline. This context sets the stage for the introduction of Black Book, a controversial strategy by A2 to sway potential traitors to Superbody Star's side.
A2's open scheme, named "Black Book," is explained in detail. It's a theoretical framework that convinces traitors they are reducing entropy and slowing down the universe's heat death by joining Superbody Star. This scheme doesn't require additional resources; it merely needs to convince others of its validity. A2's aura serves as a deterrent, warning potential traitors of the consequences of resisting.
The Oracle Sorcerers, a civilization that seeks advantage and avoids harm, have calculated a despairing probability, making betrayal a natural course of action for them. Reilo still considers Black Book dangerous as it provides a moral high ground for traitors to justify their actions.
