Creation from the void?
Creating souls from the void?
Either one was far too unbelievable!
Natsume simply didn't believe it.
So, Natsume pondered for quite a while longer before gradually noticing something unusual.
He discovered that these "soul mimicry elements" were actually alive!
Even after being shredded by him, they were still struggling desperately, transforming into streams of thought as though trying to escape this place.

It could only be the vast amount of information contained here, along with the system core that controlled all this data.
In that case.
These "digital soul thought streams" were the "system core"?
If the "system core" managing the entire simulated world was called the [Divine Intelligence AI]—
Then these virtual souls—

And it also explained why the [High Tower Source Core] possessed such high intelligence and could independently operate the entire [High Tower].
Its essence was equivalent to an [AI supercomputer]?
That also better explained why [High Tower Source Cores] were so scarce.
