Primordial Source's Choice

Myriad Faces' billions of mirror clones floated behind the curtain of light, each mirror precisely aimed at the breach. Harmonic Leaptone's Thirty-Three Harmonics covered the entire battlefield, seamlessly linking every civilization's defensive line under her coordination.

The messenger's voice rang out, still calm. "You think these things can stop the Nullifiers?"

Harmonic Leaptone did not answer. She pushed the frequencies of the Thirty-Three Harmonics to their limit, then spoke a single word:

"Come."

The battle erupted the moment the messenger raised its hand.

"Negation." The messenger pointed at the Chromaglass Civilization's Chromatic Defense Net. An invisible wave of negation struck the center of the light curtain, and the colors there instantly faded—not erased, but never defined in the first place. A blank region appeared among the sixty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven colors, like an empty eye socket with its eyeball gouged out.

But the Chromaglass Civilization did not retreat. The remaining colors immediately rearranged themselves, surrounding and isolating the blank region before filling it with new colors. Every color fought Negation in its own way—not by clashing head-on, but by constantly changing. Negation needed a fixed target, yet the colors flowed, merged, and split, always leaving the messenger's Negation half a beat behind.

Myriad Faces' mirror clones activated at once. The messenger's second Negation wave was refracted, diverted, and dispersed by billions of mirrors into countless weak rays of negation that scattered into the Void without striking a single target.

Harmonic Leaptone's harmonics darted across the battlefield, linking every civilization's defensive lines into a vast network. When one civilization came under attack, the three around it immediately filled the gap; when a defensive node collapsed, the harmonics instantly redistributed resources.

But the messenger's power far exceeded expectations.

It was not fighting alone. The hundreds of Negation condensates behind it
